Chapter 402: Reformulating the Plan
Ye Xuan felt uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything. He knew that a person who could not fight was forcibly pulled closer to the team, either to be used as cannon fodder or to become a burden to the team.
Ye Xuan doesn't want to drag us down!
Ye Xuan and Chen Sanjin invariably touched the pistol on their waists between looking at each other, at that time, I didn't notice their movements, otherwise, I would definitely be scared by them. Their action is tantamount to being prepared not to drag us down.
I said in a deep voice, "What the hell is a stand-in demon?"
My grandmother turned to me and asked, "Have you ever heard of 'Wujiguo'?" or rather, Wuqiguo. ”
"Wu Jiguo in "Mirror Flowers"?" "I've really watched "Mirror Flowers".
"Mirror Flowers" is a novel written by Li Ruzhen, a literati of the Qing Dynasty. The first half of the novel describes the story of Tang Ao, Duo Jiugong and others traveling overseas by boat, mentioning thirty-three strange countries, including the country of Wuji. There is no man or woman without heirs, and they have no heirs, and they will be buried in the ground for a hundred and twenty years after death. The people of the uninherited kingdom call death "sleeping" and living "dreaming".
My grandmother nodded and said: "Li Ruzhen's "Mirror Flowers" is very likely to refer to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Tang Ao's route to the sea, what he saw and heard along the way is related to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". It's just that what he saw was not a strange beast but a strange man. According to legend, the substitute evil came from the country of no successor. ”
I raised my eyebrows and said, "You mean that the so-called sleep of the people of the Stepless Country is just surviving in another way?"
My grandmother nodded and said, "Your statement is a speculation of the predecessors of the Dao of Arts, and it has not been confirmed. The reason why the people of Wujiguo call death sleep and life a dream. It's because they bury themselves in the soil and can replace others, live as another person, and treat the life of a stand-in as a dream. ”
My grandmother took a deep breath and said, "This is the only legend about the evil of the substitute." As for whether it is true or not, no one can confirm it. Maybe that's just a speculation by the predecessors of the art path, or maybe it's nonsense. ”
I immediately reacted: "According to what you said, there should have been a collision between the magic path and the substitute evil, isn't there a record in the magic path?"
"I have to ask about it. As soon as my grandmother finished speaking, I called a word Tianqing, who listened to me and couldn't help but mutter: "The substitute evil is indeed rampant in the art path, but the record of the substitute evil in this information is vague. In particular, why did the stand-in evil disappear from the magic path in the end, and only four words were used to summarize 'the master's shot'. ”
"I see!" I hung up, falling silent.
If you want to deal with the stand-in evil, you have to rely on yourself.
I finally figured out the clues of the stand-in evil, and now all the clues have been suddenly cut off, the only thing I can be sure of is that the human skin in Qi Xiangchen's hand can restrain the stand-in evil.
Qi Xiangchen should have already made a move on the stand-in demon, and he led a few of us to see the human skin at the beginning, just to make sure that there was no stand-in evil among us. When he found out that we weren't stand-ins, he killed his assistant. But what happened to the student who died in the dormitory next to the assistant?
Aside from that student, Ye Xuan and the others have been controlled several times, and who is manipulating?
In addition to Qi Xiangchen and the stand-in evil, there is a third person who is targeting us?
I subconsciously looked at Yan Xingyu who was sewing my palm, and the other party didn't seem to notice my gaze, still concentrating on sewing my bones.
The key to getting rid of the stand-in evil is still on Qi Xiangchen's body, but where can I find Qi Xiangchen?
I was silent for a moment before I said, "Little demon, you bring up the drawings of Building No. 8 for me, and I want to study it." ”
I took the design and looked at it for a long time and said: "If Qi Xiangchen doesn't come out, we will force him to come out." The information I collected shows that although Qi Xiangchen rarely leaves Building 8, he has a deep affection for the university. I'm going to break the ban on Building 8 and let all the stand-ins come out. ”
Yan Xingyu turned his head suddenly: "You release the stand-in evil, can you control it?"
"Resign yourself to fate!" I said in a deep voice: "If I let go of the evil body-in, I may feel guilty for the rest of my life, and if I don't let go of the evil body-in, I will regret it for the rest of my life." People are always selfish animals, and I will not spare the lives of others for the sake of the people I want to protect. ”
Yan Xingyu said angrily: "Chen Ye, think about it, if you let the stand-in evil come out, let's not talk about whether it will cause a catastrophe of magic." In this university alone, how many people will be replaced by evil spirits, do you know? For the sake of Ye Xuan and Chen Sanjin, how can you bear to sacrifice so many innocents?"
"There are some things that patience will pass. I looked at Yan Xingyu coldly: "I told you a long time ago that I am not a good person. If you want to continue to cooperate, sit down, and if you don't want to cooperate, I won't stop you. ”
Yan Xingyu's face changed a few times before he sat down without saying a word.
My grandmother asked in a deep voice, "When are you going to do it?"
"Tonight!" I said, "Tonight, I'll go into Building Eight with Lin Yan and Jelly Bean." I'll take care of the outside. I'll assign a manpower......"
In the middle of my words, I suddenly asked, "Milk, after we go in, will anyone stay to protect Xuanzi and Sanjin?" ”
My grandmother said, "I brought Tianyao with me, and he was in the car." It is enough to have him to protect Xuanzi. ”
Mu Tianyao has been sticking to my milk, wherever my milk goes, he will follow him, this time is no exception, if it weren't for my milk even coaxing and cheating, he would definitely follow up the villa. My grandmother was afraid that he would cause trouble, so she left him outside.
"That's good!" I knew that Mu Tianyao was a little relieved after he came.
After I assigned the manpower, Xiao Jelly Bean dragged Guo Ming's body away and didn't know what to do, and didn't show up until the evening.
I looked at my watch: "Go! ”
I originally arranged for Yan Xingyu to be picked up outside, but he said that he would follow me in everything, so I had no choice but to take him into Building 8.
Building No. 8 at night was unusually quiet, and even the only light in the research room was not lit again because of Qi Xiangchen's departure. The only light in the building is my flashlight.
I walked through the hallway big enough to hear my breathing, and they walked into the meeting on the top floor with the little jelly beans.
The conference room on the top floor of Building 8 covers almost the entire floor, enough to accommodate two or three hundred people, and it is exactly where we use to use force.
Yan Xingyu said: "If you want to vent the yin qi in the building, shouldn't you do it on the first floor?"
"I've changed my mind!" I waved at Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean quickly unwrapped my parcel and poured out a human skull from it.
When Little Jelly Bean put the human bone on the table, I said: "This is Guo Ming's head, Little Jelly Bean didn't come out in the afternoon, just to clean up this bone." Do you think there's something different about that skull?"
Yan Xingyu glanced up and down a few times: "This bone with a bulge on the back of the head is not normal, right?"
"Yes!" I tapped the bulging bone at the back of my skull, "without this bone, I would have done as planned, but with him, things would have been much better." ”
"Guo Ming's words may not all be true. However, one thing is certainly not wrong, and that is that his body has also been occupied by the evil body-in. The stand-in evil may have occupied this body for a long time before replacing Guo Ming. I found a word Tianqing and checked the news, and the human body occupied by the substitute evil will have a certain change. In today's terms, they will fuse some of the genes of the stand-in evil. ”
I looked at Yan Xingyu and said, "There is a witchcraft that can curse the entire clan of the other party through bloodline, even if there is only a little bloodline, it can be traced back to the source." Let the other nine clans be wiped out. The people who calculated me probably didn't count that there was a big witch on our side, right?"
Yan Xingyu was silent for a moment before he said, "If you use witchcraft to spell the entire clan, the caster himself will have to pay a great price. You want to sacrifice your partners to save Ye Xuan and them?"
Yan Xingyu was referring to the little jelly bean.
Lin Yan opened his mouth and said: "If the other party is a human, it must pay a great price, and the caster even has to die without a corpse to successfully activate the curse, but the substitute evil is not human, and it is not even allowed to be in the world, once the curse is successful, the caster will not only not be damaged, but will get certain benefits." This shot may be an opportunity for me and Jelly Bean. ”
"You want to make a move too?" Yan Xingyu suddenly looked at Lin Yan: "You are a number of fate!"
Lin Yan said with a smile: "The reason for my shot is the same as Jelly Bean's shot, killing the stand-in evil is not considered disobeying the mandate of heaven, because the stand-in evil is an existence that is not allowed by the way of heaven." ”
"Not allowed by the Heavenly Dao?" Yan Xingyu seemed to be talking to himself.
I said with a smirk: "When that cat Gu finally came out, it was not just reminding us to run away. He tried his best to save Guo Ming's body, just to tell us that the key to killing the evil body in for him lies in Guo Ming. ”
Without waiting for Yan Xingyu to speak, he explained: "At that time, the living room was raining arrows, everything was covered under the rain of arrows, and the sofa was even torn to pieces by crossbow arrows. Guo Ming's body was also shot into a sieve. Why didn't his head have anything to do with it? It may be a coincidence that the rain of arrows didn't hit Guo Ming's head, but the probability of such a coincidence is too low. I believe that someone deliberately saved his head. It was the cat Gu who kept him. ”
Yan Xingyu frowned and said, "Since they have mastered the weakness of the substitute evil, why don't they cooperate with us?"
Little Jelly Bean and Lin Yan didn't pay attention to what he was saying, Little Jelly Bean gently cut his finger and dripped blood onto the white flower human skull. The bloodied skull seemed to come to life suddenly, spun around the table, and its two eye sockets seemed to scan the room around the target.
