Volume 7: Escape Room (62)
Lin Yingkong's voice carried a demagogic softness, Ning Bao's soon-to-be-broken reason was pulled back a little, he tried to recall for a moment, but to no avail, "There were one or twenty people who escaped at that time, Qi En should have kept their information, we didn't pay attention to it, I only remember that the girl I chased with Hu Hui had black hair." "Qien's game is not always like this time in advance to get to know each other, anonymous and hide their appearance, after all, some of the people involved may be heavy figures in the supernatural world, and they can't be caught, they usually enter the game field separately, maybe the game is over and they don't know who the people who are fighting together or allied with each other are, so there will be a situation where they often come into contact but many people are not familiar with each other, not to mention the prey that they hunt like animals.
Lin Yingkong listened to him explain in detail, thoughtfully, "So you can't be sure which of the ten team members are the hunters who went with you to hunt down those prey in the first place?"
"That time, Zhang Li and Jin Duo went with me, Hu Hui and Taihang were there, and Qi Hui mentioned it to me once...... I can't remember the others. Ning Bao said, his face was very pale, and if he looked closely, he could see that the three days of the game had not passed, he had lost a lot of weight, his eye sockets were sunken, his lips were covered with dead skin, and his cheekbones were sharply towering on his face, almost piercing the skin, and he was not as good as a ghost when he was a real person.
"Qian Hui?" Feng Rong moved his eyelids when he heard this name, the Qian Hui in his impression did not look like a cruel and murderous character, and he had always behaved very strangely, as if he knew something, but he disappeared after being pushed down the bottomless pit by Taihang, and the corpse on the side of the small square had broken arms and legs, and he didn't notice that Qian Hui was not inside.
Ning Bao thought he was interested in Qi Hui, "He should have only participated in that hunt, he couldn't stand it, and quit immediately," he smiled strangely, "He's a good guy, it's a pity that he messed with us." β
Feng Rong was noncommittal about his words, and motioned for Lin Yingkong to continue asking.
"What about other people's backs, such as how many years they have been playing in Qi En's game, is there an approximate number?" After asking, Lin Yingkong felt that it was unnecessary again, since there could be a pretending minister, it would not be surprising that there were other people who were impersonating.
"I only know a few, but it's not specific enough," Ning Bao smiled self-deprecatingly, "When I awakened my ability, I thought I was invincible in the world, but in the supernatural world, I was an ant who died when I stepped on it, I could play with them, but I might not be friends." Sometimes I don't even know what God has given me ambition and the ability to do with this mismatch. β
Lin Yingkong narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Probably to make you a scumbag who can be killed by the open." "In the human world, I guess I have to worry about what kind of juvenile protection law, how simple it is in the supernatural world, it's very bad, just cut it if you see it when you see it on the road, and the prison of the Spiritual Security Bureau will not be locked up with heinous criminals to waste space.
Assistant Lin's words made Ning Bao's face pale, "You promised to help me!"
Lin Yingkong's smile became softer and softer, "Well, yes, we promise you will live." β
He made reassurances, but Ning Bao didn't feel safe at all, he even doubted that the two people in front of him would take the opportunity to kill him, or deliberately not save people when the hunter killed him, this feeling of being half taken away by the scythe of death forced him to go crazy, he broke down and shouted: "With the reputation of the Spirit Security Bureau, you can't break your promise! They have also become hunters, their hands are full of human lives, they still want to kill me, you can't stand by and ......!"
"Quiet. Feng Rong's two words smashed him into a dumb voice instantly, he shrank and wanted to retreat, but his body was stiff and couldn't move, because Feng Rong leaned towards him again, and his voice was slightly cold: "I still have a question - why have you been targeting Liu Qianyun, Chen Siya and Zeng Yufen before?"
"I'm afraid of Liu Qianyun," Ning Bao's lips trembled uncontrollably, "She changed her hairstyle, and that hair ...... It's like the girl at the beginning. β
Ten minutes later, Lin Yingkong and Feng Rong and the other four people left the restaurant in the resort area, and Ning Bao was thrown into the corner of the second floor of the restaurant by them, and set up a protective formation for him to order him to stay inside and not come out, although he couldn't be killed, but there was no need to take him with him.
"What are we going to do now?" E Jingbai was very strange, "Minister, you are going to save them? One life is worth one life, if those prey come back for revenge now, they are legal according to the first law of the supernatural world." β
Feng Rong's pace remained the same, "So you just watched that group of people get killed?"
E Jingbai said: "Even if they are saved, the Lingsi Judgment Department will sentence them to death......
"Jingbai, you started again. Feng Rong said, his voice was very stern.
"I ......" E Jingbai opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he pursed his lips, he didn't justify, but this is a gesture that knows stubbornness without words.
Feng Rong turned his head sideways and looked at him deeply, his phoenix eyes were cold, and he seemed to fully understand his heart, "I just said this to another person today, and I think I should tell you as well." β
"What?" E Jingbai was nervous by his eyes.
"The original hunter deserves to die, but the original prey can take revenge, but it can't become an executioner, just like you can convict them, but you can't let them die, the victim becomes the perpetrator, do you want to help them or harm them?"
Feng Rong didn't know that a few of the people in the Mingjing Resort were the ones who chased and killed them in the first place, but what they are doing now is just making themselves another group of hunters - he is not sympathizing with Ning Bao them, but sympathizing with these people who have returned from hell, they came for revenge, trying in vain to calm their anger with the blood of the enemy, but in the end they became the same people as the enemy, who could have died, but had to fall into the eighteenth layer of hell for a group of rotten people, maybe they think it is worth it, but how sad is this?
E Jingbai didn't speak again, just closed his eyes vigorously, Yan Mi inadvertently turned around, and saw the blood light flying under his eyelashes, not fierce, just full of depression.
At seven o'clock in the morning, it was still dark in the Narugami Resort, as if the dawn would never fall.
"Xing Jun shouldn't be so unlucky to be captured by those hunters, right? Bian Hai will definitely be furious. Although Lin Yingkong said it easily, he was more or less worried in his heart, after all, they told Xing Jun about it, and then Xing Jun got involved.
Feng Rong knew what he was thinking, but he thought of another problem, "Xing Jun is in the resort, even if he doesn't touch us, it is impossible for us to completely avoid this matter, I am worried that he is also one of Qi En's targets." β
Don't look at Xing Jun as just an ordinary human being, but the Bian Hai and the intelligence organization behind him are not vegetarians, and they have quietly plunged into the entire supernatural world without attaching themselves to any force, not big, but it is not a small cake, not to mention other people, even Bai Congqiu had the idea of letting him take the entire organization into the intelligence group of the spiritual logistics department a few years ago, and Feng Rong, who was still a small member at that time, went to find him together, and the conditions were very exciting, but unfortunately Xing Jun politely refused with a smile on his face, saying that he was just playing casually and had no intention of expanding the scaleγ Feng Rong also knew Xing Jun at that time, and he knew Lin Yingkong earlier than he knew him, so it can be said that he was a simple and deep friend, and he was both an ally and a friend.
"What the hell do they want to do?" E Jingbai frowned deeply, the three of them belonged to the Spirit Security Bureau, Yan Mi, Xing Jun, the poor insects who had fallen from hunters to prey, and even the current hunters were probably their targets, and he felt more and more that this vacation was premeditated...... So, when did the layout begin? Qi En and Luo Cheng plan to kill them all? What is the connection between them?
"Their goals are too many and too scattered, the strange thing is that these two people are not the character of a fat man who eats one bite no matter how you look at it," Lin Yingkong pursed his lips, Feng Rong handed him the water when he saw this, he took a sip, smiled at Feng Rong, and then continued: "If Qi En and Luo Cheng are indeed a group, but the goals are not the same, the division of labor and cooperation, but they are not the same mind, is this statement more in line with the current situation?"
Feng Rong pondered for a moment, "For example, this hunting ground is in charge of Qi En, Luo Cheng just uses his field and people to do things, and by the way, he also helps him keep an eye on the progress of the hunting, and in turn, Qi En has to help him deal with us?"
"And their relationship must not be very good, if I were Qi En, Luo Cheng wanted me to do something, and offended the Spirit Security Bureau on my territory, and then asked me to clean up the mess, and he just needs to watch a show and tease those prey, I will definitely not be very dedicated to helping him, and even find an opportunity to demolish the stage for him. Lin Yingkong said.
In fact, this makes sense, for example, Qi En has always been more interested in Feng Rong, but suddenly came to deceive him, Lin Yingkong believed that he liked to be himself to deceive the minister;
Therefore, their current task is much more than that of the group of former hunters and current prey who are in a hurry to flee for their lives, not only to prevent the current hunters from killing them all, but also to find the lone Xing Jun, catch Luo Cheng and Qi En and beat them, investigate what the hell they are doing, etc., and the minister of his family has always been angry about the organization behind Luo Cheng, it would be better to take him out and bring him back to the Spirit Security Bureau to "torture to extract confessions".
Just when Lin Yingkong felt a great responsibility and was full of ambition, Feng Rong asked coldly: "Yingkong, who do you think Xu Ye looks like?"
"Huh?" Lin Yingkong suddenly froze, wondering, "Ah Hao is Yan Hao, isn't he Luo Cheng? β
Feng Rong was stunned when he heard this, he found that he had ignored Lin Yingkong's eyes again, the latter had not even seen Xu Ye's appearance and figure, in fact, Feng Rong was also a little skeptical that Lin Yingkong's invisible things would have something to do with Luo Cheng, because if he could see it, he could see everyone's mood swings more clearly than any of them, which could not be covered by a thin human skin. Feng Rong can also see it, but he will never be able to understand those delicate and complex emotions better than Lin Yingkong - maybe everyone will think that Lin Yingkong is very dark and murderous, but it is undeniable that he can soften other creatures with a simple smile, how can he not be a man with full emotions and a heart that is gentler than anyone else?
E Jingbai glanced at Feng Rong, he thought that the minister probably wouldn't know what kind of deep feelings he had when he looked at Lin Yingkong's eyes at this time, it was amazing, the dark puppet would be like an ordinary person, soft because of love.
"I don't think he's Luo Cheng," Feng Rong remembered the helpless smile he had seen Xu Ye before, Luo Cheng was so good at playing with people's hearts and contemptuous of people's hearts, he would never feel the pain of this contradiction, "But I think I've definitely seen him, and time won't be too far apart." β
"Have you seen it?" Lin Yingkong spent most of his time going in and out with him, and after meditating for a while, he didn't have a clue, he hadn't seen Xu Ye with his own eyes, and the timbre of the other party's speech didn't feel familiar to him after hearing it, plus this time he didn't go out for a task, he was blind for the first time, and he didn't have the experience of analyzing everyone's voices, footsteps and other details, it was really hard to judge, "Could it be that you met when you went to the heavenly realm for a meeting?"
Feng Rong originally wanted to say that the people he had seen in the Heavenly Realm before were all acquaintances, but suddenly he thought that if Luo Cheng's forces could infiltrate the supernatural academy that was being protected, would there be so many acquaintances he met who were wearing human skins/masks?
The three members of the field service team of the General Office were very worried, and Yan Mi, the only one who did not participate in their discussion, said coldly: "There is a corpse there. β
One sentence startled the other three people, and E Jingbai was the most helpless, why did this corn keep encountering corpses?
"Where?" Feng Rong asked casually, his eyes had already followed Yan Mi's line of sight to look at the large circular flowerbed in front of him, behind them was the only way to the auditorium, about five hundred meters or so of the straight straight road without forks was flat and uncovered, all the way to the end, what he saw was a clearing of about one hundred and eighty square meters, with roads leading to all directions at the edge, and in the center of the flower bed in the center was a hundred-year-old tree, the dense crown projected a huge shadow, and under the shadow, at the foot of the tree, a black shadow curled up there, motionlessγ
E Jingbai approached cautiously, and what he saw was a dried corpse that seemed to be very old, covered with skin and bones, like a skeleton, he was wondering if this was Qi En's "game props", but after carefully distinguishing the face of the dried corpse, E Jingbai's eyebrows jumped, and said: "Minister, Assistant Lin, it's Lan Jianning." β
His answer surprised Lin Feng and the others, and Lin Yingkong asked, "Lan Jianning, how did he die?"
"I don't know, but the rib is broken, the leg is pinched off, like torture to extract a confession, maybe that group of people are infighting, minister, come and see." β
As he spoke, Feng Rong had already walked over, leaning over to take a closer look, although the appearance was shriveled and unrecognizable, he could still see the outline of Lan Jianning, as for the cause of death...... Feng Rong's spiritual power swam around the dry corpse and said, "It should be due to strength overdraft, but his meridian bones have tearing marks, as if he can't support the soaring spiritual power......" He thought of Lan Jianning's ability to suddenly burst out when he attacked him, and his face sank suddenly, "Strengthener." β
The enhancer that appeared in Sansang Academy appeared in front of them again, very good, you don't need to think much about it to know who did the good thing, Lin Yingkong's forehead suddenly jumped, "Luo Cheng!" I know that it is not good to meet this guy!
"Luo Cheng gave Lan Jianning Booster?" E Jingbai was surprised, "Just to kill the minister?" When did Luo Cheng have such hatred for him? He always felt that Luo Cheng's attitude towards the minister was very ambiguous, but it was not to the point of shouting and shouting to kill.
"Not necessarily," Feng Rong didn't quite believe it, "Lan Jianning is from Qi En's side. Speaking of this, he suddenly put his fingers together, condensed the ice blade, cut through the skin of the dried corpse, and tore it for a moment, only to be sure that this was not a human skin/mask but a real human skin, he withdrew his hand in some confusion, and the ice blades turned into ice chips and fell one after another, dissipating into the air.
Lin Yingkong noticed his move, "Minister, do you suspect that this Lan Jianning is fake?"
"No, I doubt this is true," Feng Rong stood up, "When he attacked me, Xing Jun said to me that he was not Lan Jianning before, but the face of this corpse was real. Xing Jun will not be untargeted, that is to say, from meeting to before reuniting in Xing Jun's house, the person who gets along with them may be a fake Lan Jianning, and the identity of the other party is ...... There is some speculation about the sealing capacity.
Lin Yingkong listened, his eyebrows were slightly solemn, and he suddenly thought that the "seeing is false" on the wooden sign actually applies to everyone in this resort - because everyone who sees it, he may be false.
Feng Rong's face was a little solemn, "Even the enhancer has appeared, if the hunter is among the forty people, even if the strength is not strong, he can be forcibly promoted to a high level by relying on the enhancer, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, that group of people may be more than lucky." β
"What is this?" Yan Mi, who was squatting in front of the dry corpse, was never on the same channel as them, and suddenly asked.
Only then did E Jingbai find out that he actually poked someone's corpse with his hand, so he hurriedly carried the person away helplessly, took out a wet tissue to help him wipe his hands, Yan Mi didn't think so, he was still staring at the corpse, E Jingbai wanted to scold him for being stupid and bold. Feng Rong looked at the position where Yan Mi was fiddling with just now, and found that it was a thin stem, which was nothing special, but he dragged it out, and was stunned to find that this thing was connected to the dried corpse, and it actually seemed to have grown into Lan Jianning's body, Lin Yingkong heard his description, and said in wonder: "Could it be that it is not only the effect of the enhancer, but also the tree that is sucking his blood and flesh?"
"It's just an ordinary tree. Feng Rong said.
"But there can be someone who manipulates it," Lin Yingkong suddenly remembered something, "Minister, have you seen Chen Siya's corpse?"
