Volume 2 Eternal Sleep Chapter 26 The Restaurant
Xu Qingran's gaze fell on Lin Mo, it seemed that a long, long time had passed, and then he sighed, "Don't do such a dangerous thing next time, what if it's different from what you guessed, after the ethereal spirit is summoned, instead of opposing that masked man, what if we join forces to solve us?" ”
"It's because I didn't think it through, it was urgent, the best way I could think of at the time was this, if it didn't work, then I could only use the Kunlun Mirror." Lin Mo replied with a little apology, Xu Qingran didn't say anything about him anymore, he walked to the door of the bell tower, Ai Yu handed him a hairpin, "Try again?" At least confirm whether our guess is correct or not. ”
Xu Qingran nodded, bent down to open the lock, and the hairpin slowly moved towards the keyhole, but stopped when there were still two or three centimeters. Xu Qingran felt a resistance, a resistance from the lock itself was pushing away the hairpin in his hand, so Xu Qingran was no longer persistent, he handed the hairpin back to Ai Yu, and the lock held in his left hand was thrown open and smashed on the door.
"Sure enough."
Ai Yu checked his system page and found that the cooldown time of the previously used item [Demon Refining Pot] [Peter's Toy Ball] had been reset to zero again, so their game had been reset again.
So......
Ai Yu suddenly turned her head to look at Zhao Xiao in the magic circle, she walked over quickly, and stepped into the magic circle under Zhao Xiao's guarded gaze, "The photo I gave you, is it still there?" ”
Zhao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and was frightened by Ai Yu's somewhat fierce tone, his hand reached into the pocket of his jacket, took out two photos and handed them over, "Is this it?" ”
Ai Yu hurriedly took the two photos handed over by Zhao Xiao, looked at the contents carefully, and confirmed the information given by the system, she breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay...... This picture is still there. ”
Jun Yao praised Ai Yu's foresight, Yin Weiyu stood beside her at some point, and stabbed her waist with her arm, Jun Yao frowned and looked at her, as if she didn't quite understand the purpose of her move. Seeing Jun Yao looking at herself with a puzzled expression, Yin Weiyu coughed twice deliberately, and squeezed her eyebrows at where Jiang Xian and Lin Mo were standing.
Jun Yao suddenly remembered that when she entered the bell tower for the first time, on the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, Yin Weiyu had asked herself mysteriously if she thought Lin Mo was strange. Jun Yao recalled what happened in the bell tower, it seemed that from the time she entered the second floor and found the blood stains on the floor, Lin Mo did show a different side from the previous contact, in Elizabeth's room, she didn't seem to be very active in looking for clues, as if there was nothing in this room, and she didn't care about the things in it at all. When the little boy appeared, Lin Mo seemed to have known his danger for a long time, and when the ball rolled in, it attracted the attention of the three of them, and when he walked in the direction of the door in surprise, Lin Mo didn't look outside the room at all. When the little boy said his request, he was in a state of hesitation and had not yet judged the real danger, Lin Mo was about to stop his behavior. She had never been near the door at all, and she probably couldn't notice that there was a new layer of space stacked outside the room, but she swore so much that it was like she knew from the beginning that "if you go out, you will die". Can spiritual media have so many benefits? Jun Yao didn't think so, she always felt that the reason why Lin Mo was able to predict the prophet was not because of the spiritual quality given to her by the system, but because of herself.
But...... Jun Yao looked at Jiang Xian who was standing beside Lin Mo again.
If you really want to say strange things, in addition to Lin Mo, Jiang Xian is also quite suspicious, right?
"Let's talk about this matter when we go back to the hotel." Jun Yao replied to Yin Weiyu in a low voice, I can't say it now, if there is really anything abnormal, at this time, I will stab the window paper in public, which is undoubtedly an act of breaking my own gold medal to avoid death.
The golden light has gradually deepened, the clouds are flying in the sky, the sun is emitting a more purple orange-red under the precipitation of time, and the sun is setting, and the sun is getting closer and closer to the horizon.
Xu Qingran glanced at the sky and realized that it was not early, so he clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention, "It's not too early, let's go back, rush back before sunset, it will be a lot less trouble." ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Qingran walked to Zhao Xiao's side, "He hasn't woken up yet?" ”
"Maybe the effect of the Pure Heart Talisman is too strong? After all, this kid is the first time, and he probably doesn't get used to the power of this thing. Lin Mo explained on the side, Xu Qingran nodded, thinking that when he took Lin Mo's heart talisman for the first time, he seemed to feel great discomfort, although he was able to hold on to not falling unconscious, but it was difficult to resist after all. So he squatted down, and Zhao Xiao saw his actions and hurriedly said, "Brother Xu, Brother Xu...... It's okay, I can carry him, so I don't need you to ......."
Xu Qingran's movements were stunned, and Zhao Xiao continued, "I'll just carry it, what if you let Brother Xu carry him and drag Brother Xu down......
Xu Qingran: I didn't plan to carry him, but I was just going to help him back.
“…… Then you carry him, if you can't hold on to it, just say, I'll change with you. Xu Qingran swallowed back the unspoken complaints.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Xu!"
Jun Yao was a little uneasy when he pushed open the door of the Eternal Sleep Inn, after all, when they came back yesterday evening, the hall of the inn became different from before, so they encountered strange things in this unusual hall, thanks to the quick reaction and timely escape, otherwise according to Lin Mo, they were likely to die because of the ethereal spirit lurking in the hall. The old outfit, the familiar tattered parts of a few furniture, Jun Yao can finally relax on the sofa.
"You guys can rest in the hall now, and I'll go see if there's dinner in the restaurant." Xu Qingran didn't go to the sofa, Jun Yao heard him say this, and suddenly got up, "I'll go with you, right?" ”
Xu Qingran paused, he looked back at Jun Yao in confusion, but Jun Yao didn't seem to intend to explain the reason, just jumped up from the sofa and walked to him.
"Let's go" Jun Yao grabbed his sleeve and was stunned lightly, but was pulled back to his senses by Jun Yao suddenly.
Shen Junyao: What is this going to do?
The restaurant was at the end of the corridor on the left side of the hall on the first floor, and Jun Yao quickly pulled Xu Qingran away under the different gazes of everyone, as if there was some evil ghost behind her, for fear that someone would stop her. But as soon as she turned the corridor, she slowed down, even a little slower than the walking speed of a normal person, Xu Qingran had a keen intuition, and soon sensed Jun Yao's intention to do so.
"What would you like to talk to me alone?"
"I do have some doubts." Jun Yao smiled, she knew that Xu Qingran would definitely understand the intention of her strange move, Jun Yao looked back at the road when she came, the corridor was empty, so she said with confidence, "Xu Qingran, you said before that you, Ai Yu and Lin Mo belong to the same organization 'Beidu', right?" ”
"Yes, didn't we tell you before that we were one of the main forces investigating the Dream Traveler's malicious death? What do you do with this suddenly? Did you notice anything unusual? ”
"It's a bit strange, but it has nothing to do with snatching props and maliciously triggering death conditions, I just want to ask - how long have you known Lin Mo?"
"Lin Mo? Why do you ask? Do you think there's anything strange about her? ”
"To be precise, I am not the one who first noticed that Lin Mo was wrong, this matter was told to me by Yin Weiyu. I didn't have much contact with Lin Mo, and I also met in the mission, and the contact was only a day, and I didn't have a group with her during the investigation, so I knew very little about her. However, Yin Weiyu knows her a little bit better than me, and she always feels that Lin Mo is weird today. ”
Xu Qingran didn't speak, he was waiting for Jun Yao to continue.
"When I was investigating in the bell tower today, especially in Elizabeth's room, I also felt that Lin Mo was unusual. It is a feeling of not coming up, which can be understood as a sense of disobedience. ”
"Disobedience?" Xu Qingran repeated her words, "This word is quite accurate. ”
Jun Yao nodded, and then reacted to Xu Qingran's words, "You...... Do you also think something is wrong with Lin Mo? ”
"That's right, just when I was attacked by the Masked Man." Xu Qingran nodded, "It only took two or three seconds for the masked man to throw the candle and rush over, I didn't have time to react at all, but Lin Mo was able to react so sensitively, according to my understanding of her, although she had the bonus of spiritual quality, she was more sensitive to the prediction of danger, but her prediction was too advanced." ”
"As I said earlier, it was only two or three seconds, and she was able to react quickly, take out the prop [Bronze Bell] and ring it. According to the limit, even if she reacted when the masked man threw the candle, and she took the prop from her backpack, it took almost the same time as the masked man swung his scythe at us, and we would have died there a little later, and none of us would have been spared. Lin Mo said that if she couldn't stop the attack of the sickle, she would use the [Kunlun Mirror] to reverse the time, you don't know the conditions for the use of the [Kunlun Mirror], to reverse the time, you must hold it in your hand. The more important the time that needs to be reversed, the more stringent the conditions are, we were in a state of mortal death at that time, and if Lin Mo did not hold the [Kunlun Mirror] in advance, he would not meet the conditions for reversing time. ”
"Recall that the bell rang almost simultaneously when the masked man swung his scythe at him, right?"
Jun Yao thought about the situation carefully, although he said that he was standing at the front, but for the situation in front of him, what happened was not completely lost perception, when the bell rang......
"The masked man pauses as the bell rings, and then he slams his scythe at us! Therefore, Lin Mo's timing of ringing the bell was counterintuitive, and she defended herself before the Masked Man's attack, as if she knew what was going to happen next. ”
"That's right." Xu Qingran nodded, "But Lin Mo is still Lin Mo." ”
Lin Mo or Lin Mo? Xu Qingran's words made Jun Yao confused, what did he mean ......?
"The spirit medium is close to the high-risk evil thing, it is very likely to be possessed, in order to judge the authenticity of Lin Mo, it can be regarded as a kind of defense, the crystal necklace on Lin Mo's body is a good identification tool, if the crystal necklace turns red, it proves that she is possessed, if it is black, it is basically impossible to save it." Xu Qingran explained, "When I questioned her in front of the bell tower, I deliberately observed her crystal necklace, and there was nothing abnormal, so at least Lin Mo was not dangerous. As for her anomaly, I think it might have something to do with that room. Elizabeth's room has the power of the gods, perhaps Elizabeth is helping us in secret. ”
"Since you think it's okay, I'm just worried that Lin Mo will do something bad to us......"
Xu Qingran smiled happily, "Jun Yao, it's okay, if Lin Mo really wants to do something hurtful, I will definitely stop her." So, rest assured. ”
Jun Yao looked at his smile and was stunned for a while, and then she came back to her senses and replied randomly.
The restaurant was close at hand, Xu Qingran was about to push the door, but was pulled by Jun Yao on the side, he stopped what he was doing, and looked at her puzzled, "What's ......?"
"Shhhh Jun Yao put the index finger of his right hand in front of his mouth and signaled Xu Qingran not to speak, so Xu Qingran closed his mouth with kindness, Jun Yao pointed to the door of the restaurant, his ear was close to the door, and he listened carefully to the movement inside.
Xu Qingran also leaned over to listen, and really heard the sound of serving dishes inside.
"Haven't you always wondered if there is anyone else in this inn besides us? It's not like a movement that can be created by one person, and it takes three or four people. Jun Yao whispered, "If we rush in now, will they panic?" And then we take advantage of the chaos and bring someone to question? ”
Xu Qingran couldn't laugh or cry, would Jun Yao actually do such a rogue thing?
"How? Hurry up and reply! You're the captain, make a decision! ”
Xu Qingran nodded and agreed with Jun Yao's proposal.
"Then get ready, three, two, one!" The door of the restaurant was slammed open, and Jun Yao and Xu Qingran were stunned for a moment.
The sight was truly terrifying, countless hands had grown on the table, they were busy preparing for tonight's dinner, and the moment the door was pushed open, all hands stopped.
The atmosphere became very awkward in an instant.
