121. It's better to kill you first
Both Ding Ri and Javier received the Soul Poker from the stone statue.
According to Bai Ye's explanation, both of them also received 3 cards of poker that were just enough to form 21 points.
"Now let's split up, each corresponding to an altar, and strive to complete the lifting of the seal at the same time."
Keeping the same frequency saves time, and before the embroidery girl in the coffin gains mobility, grabbing a few more tasks will reduce the danger...... At least that's how Bai Ye understands it.
"So what are you waiting for? I still remember the location of those 3 altars, Kang Mang, Buddha Minami! β
Javier tilted his head and left the room first......
After distributing their respective altars, Bai Ye began to put the playing cards into the altar card slot.
He started with the smallest poker hand, and after completing the aces and sevens, he learned how fast poker purple fire burns.
"The bigger the poker hand, the slower it burns, and this king burns the slowest."
"I should have picked all the cards in the middle."
Bai Ye still had a K left in his hand, and he didn't want to try it anymore, so he ran straight back to the room with the green lantern and took a 6 and a 7 from the stone statue.
"I remember that Ding Ri chose 6, 7, and 8, and he estimated that he would be the fastest to lift the seal."
In this way, the speed of the three of them unlocking the seal cannot be synchronized.
Moreover, Childe Yueyin on the periphery of the tulou began to lift the seal earlier than the three of them, and he would probably be the first to complete the lifting of the seal.
Bai Ye returned to the altar he was responsible for, and was about to continue to lift the seal, when a system prompt jumped out first:
- The player 'Childe Moon Yin' lifted the seal of the altar and released the embroidered girl's 'spirit'.
Really.
β¦β¦
The blue ghost fire flew out of the altar, and it first circled in mid-air, as if it had regained its freedom to make it feel excited and joyful, and then it slowly flew towards the center of the tulou.
On the circular square in the center of the tulou, the eerie cold wind rolls up white paper money and red pieces of paper, and flies in the air.
In the ancestral hall, which is both a mourning hall and a new house, the candle flame on the lampstand seems to be sensitive, and it becomes bright and dark.
The blue ghost fire flew into the ancestral hall and stayed above the brown-red coffin.
Hovering for a moment, it descended slowly, penetrating the lid of the coffin without hindrance and burrowing into the coffin.
After a few seconds, the coffin board shook slightly.
Gradually, the tremors intensified, and the coffin board made a fragile creak.
The cold wind in the square intensified, and the lights and candles in the ancestral hall were blown out by the cold wind that poured into the house.
As if the accumulation of strength had reached its peak, the violently trembling coffin finally made a loud click, and the fragments of the wooden planks scattered in all directions, kicking up a puff of white smoke.
In the smoke and dust, a figure stands silently, and the picture seems to fall into black and white at this moment, and between black and white, the bright red wedding dress is particularly conspicuous and prominent.
The murmuring of singing echoed through the ancestral hall, and the figure in the red wedding dress began to dance and spin, and in the next second, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in place.
β¦β¦
Javier's tulou room.
The foreign old man was standing in front of the sealing altar, holding the stone ears of the altar with both hands, waiting for the J on the altar to finish burning.
"Goose girl!"
The old man approached the rune stone carvings that were lit by purple fire one by one, his expression was obsessed, and he didn't feel the boredom of waiting for the process at all.
"This rune should belong to the ancient Taoist culture and have a profound connotation, but it's a pity...... I can't read any of them. β
At this moment, Javier suddenly heard the sound of Huo Huo's sharpening knives behind him.
"Who? Who's there?! β
Javier frowned, realizing that things were not simple.
None of the three teammates are armed with knives? Childe Yueyin is carrying a sword.
Besides, what is the purpose of me breaking the seal on the altar here, and you sharpening your sword behind me? Some kind of psychological suggestion?
The well-informed old otaku hurriedly put down what he was doing and turned his head to look behind him.
In the dimly lit kitchen, behind the wood-burning stove, there was a middle-aged man dressed in an ancient man with a turban, his face shrunk in the shadows.
He was sharpening a pig-killing knife in his hand, and he was whispering something.
"Because of the lack of reflection hall, is this the person who once lived here?"
"Is this a projection of ancient life?"
The old otaku took a fearless step forward, and his expression was filled with strong research interest.
"Tomorrow Old Man Chen's family is going to have a happy event, ask me to kill a pig and a donkey, you say, should I kill the pig first? Or kill the donkey first? β
The sharpener kept his hands on hand, and when he saw Javier approaching, he suddenly began to talk half to himself, half to ask.
It's an old riddle! Absolutely!
You have to guess the correct answer to get through, emmm...... Let me think about it.
Javier grabbed the bucket hat from his head, revealing a Mediterranean Sea with a serious expression.
After careful consideration, he tentatively replied: "Kill the donkey first?" β
The knife sharpener sneered and replied, "The pig thinks so too. β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Javier had a black question mark face, and it took a few seconds to understand what the other man meant.
Did I answer wrong?
Then answer again.
"Kill the pig first?"
"That's what the donkey thinks, too."
The middle-aged man stopped sharpening his knife and brought the pig-killing knife to his eyes and looked at it.
Or is it wrong?
But there are only two answers to this question.
Javier frowned, puzzled, and was about to humbly ask the other party for advice, but unexpectedly, the man behind the stove said a creepy sentence to himself.
"I think, it's better to kill you first!"
As soon as the words fell, a chill instantly enveloped the entire room, and the flames in the stove were extinguished at a rapid pace.
A gust of cold wind penetrated the room, and the knife sharpening man in front of him was glowing with green light.
"Ahh Noβ"
The man hissed, his hand clutching his throat, and he had a suffocating expression of Ma Jingtao's version.
His body first shattered into countless cyan light particles, scattered as if there had been a silent explosion, but in the next second, the light particles quickly converged as if going back in time, and turned into a beautiful figure wearing a red wedding dress and a red flower bead curtain on her headβit was the embroidery girl who had just woken up from her slumber.
"Oh God!"
Even if Javier was sluggish, he sensed the danger approaching, and quickly put away his exclamation expression, turned around and ran towards the small door that connected to the next room.
The embroidery girl was holding a large black scissors in her dry and white hands, her head hung crookedly, and the gilded red wedding dress on her body looked charming and weird in the half-light and half-dark environment.
Hah-
She let out a resentful sigh, her body suspended half a meter above the ground, her hands hanging at her sides, and in a floating fashion, she chased in the direction of Javier's escape.
