Chapter Twenty-Nine: Groundhog Day?
Qiu Xuan covered her head that was about to explode, and she was almost fed up with this chattering voice. "Yes," she said dryly, "I wish it was an ibuprofen painkiller." ”
The voice was silent for two seconds, "That's not what it is, little girl. ”
"Then please shut up the microphone, okay?"
"But there's more it can do," the voice hurriedly said, as if to save face, "and you can make a wish to it to get out of this place, for example." ”
"And then? And then go back to that damn mountain villa and dance with that madman who was blackened by the loss of his friend? After a while, the headache seemed to ease a little, Qiu Xuan felt a little more energetic, and she slowly stood up.
Voice: "So...... Or you can choose something else. Like, what about the Lord of Destruction? I can give you the power to destroy the world! When the time comes, you will be able to stop the gods, and no one will be able to stop you! ”
Qiu Xuan: I feel that this voice also looks like the IQ is not very high.
She sighed. The voice thought that she was still not satisfied, but thought about it again, and said:
"So, will I give you the salvation you want?"
Qiu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and for a moment she blurted out "good". But she immediately reacted, not only because she didn't need anything like "redemption" at all, but also because,
"Is it fun, Qin Jiuyuan?"
The voice: "......"
"You...... Come to think of it? ”
Qiu Xuan rolled her eyes, "I'm afraid that if I don't think about it again, someone will die because of a severe secondary two disease." ”
“…… Actually, what I just said is true. The voice was dying.
"Okay, okay, the first thing I'll do when I become the Lord of Destruction is to hang you on a tree."
"Ahem," Qin Jiuyuan pretended not to have heard, "Okay, since you remember, wake up quickly, everyone is waiting for you." ”
"How do you wake up?"
"Do you believe me?" There was a faint smile in the man's voice, "Keep going, go into the darkness, and then jump down." "Don't be afraid, little girl," he said, "for there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
"I don't have anything to be afraid of." Qiu Xuan said, stepping into the darkness, and then plunged into the abyss.
Wrapped in thick and deep darkness, falling into the dark and boundless abyss, Qiu Xuan's heart was calm.
She closed her eyes and embraced the abyss.
……
When Qiu Xuan opened her eyes from her bed, it was just past twelve o'clock.
She sat up slowly, and heard the kind of full-loss sound quality from outside her room: "Is Sister Qiu Xuan awake, is my sister awake, is I here, send a photo to see, are you awake, are you awake, Sister Qiu Xuan?" ”
Taking a deep breath, Qiu Xuan put on her shoes and walked to the door, ready to open the door and punch Lu Xingzhou.
She slammed the door open. Qiu Xuan frowned, leaned down to look at the keyhole, and didn't find any problems.
"Qiu Xuan, are you awake! Don't worry, because you're the one who is protected by the villa tonight, so you can't open the door. It was Gu Qingyue's voice.
It seemed that they had all returned to "normal", Qiu Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Is it okay to destroy violently?" For example, tearing down the whole door and so on. ”
Gu Qingyue replied, "No, Qin Jiuyuan tried it just now, but it can't be destroyed." ”
"So what now?"
"Can you see if the window opens? If you can open it, wrap yourself tightly and jump out of the window," Lu Xingzhou said, "Qin Jiuyuan will pick you up from the floor-to-ceiling window on the first floor, remember to wrap it tightly." ”
I didn't expect to relive the feat of dancing in a blizzard again so soon. Qiu Xuan couldn't laugh anyway, but now there was no other way, so she had to sigh and wrap herself up as an Eskimo.
"I'm jumping!" She yelled out the door.
"Okay! I told Qin Jiuyuan! Jump! ”
Qiu Xuan firmly grasped the window lattice with one hand to prevent herself from being blown out by the wind, and she slowly moved on the outer wall, like a fat gecko that had eaten too much.
As she approached the first floor, something grabbed her by the ankle, and she was dragged into the hall on the first floor with a huge force.
"What kind of outfit is this? Blessed Captain Dragonfly? Qin Jiuyuan looked at her and smiled.
Qiu Xuan ignored him and took off her clothes by herself, "By the way," she turned her head to look at Gu Qingyue, "How is the situation now?" ”
"It's not good, Zhao Ke is going crazy, let's come to you while he is going to deal with Zheng Yunyuan and them." Gu Qingyue said, "Just now, Lu Xingzhou found a clue on a dream tapir, which said 'bird cage'. We remembered your necklace, so we came to you. I thought you were forced to fall asleep tonight so I didn't have any hope, but I didn't expect you to wake up. ”
The more Qiu Xuan listened, the more wrong she became, it stands to reason that she was "forced to sleep" tonight, so anything tonight should have nothing to do with her. But it is obvious that she has experienced the collective blackening of everyone, experienced Zhao Ke becoming the protagonist of the carnival night because of what "ultimate punishment", and even saw Qin Jiuyuan directly stab the dinner knife into Zhao Ke's throat.
What does that mean? Could it be because Lu Xingzhou said before that under certain circumstances, the protection mechanism will create a "replica" of the protected person in order not to be discovered, and she has been soul piercing her own replica before?
"How is Zhao Ke now? Didn't he get stabbed? By the way, how are you, weren't you bitten by a dream tapir? She looked at Gu Qingyue.
Gu Qingyue was puzzled: "I'...... Bitten by a dream tapir? No, I'm fine. Also, what does it mean that Zhao Ke was stabbed by someone, and by whom? Didn't Zhao Ke just awaken his ability and kill everyone? ”
The timeline is wrong, it doesn't match at all. Qiu Xuan sat on the ground with her eyebrows twisted, thinking about what went wrong. Could it be that everything before was actually just a dream that I was too worried about the carnival night, and now I was woken up by Lu Xingzhou and them, and I returned to the real "reality"?
Logically it makes sense, and there's no better explanation now.
"Are you alright?" Gu Qingyue looked at her with some concern.
"It's okay, I just got a little sleepy and had nightmares." Qiu Xuan explained.
"Okay, it's okay. But how exactly do you use the birdcage? Lu Xingzhou said.
"Actually, I don't know," Qiu Xuan took out the necklace from her underwear, "I haven't been able to find any mechanism for it." ”
Before Lu Xingzhou could say something, Zheng Yunyuan's screams came from upstairs, and a voice that couldn't be produced by human vocal cords at all.
That's right, that's the sound. Qiu Xuan heard this kind of voice when he was sucked in the air by Zhao Ke before, and he would not admit it.
"Here they are." Gu Qingyue stood up.
Several dream tapirs slowly approached from the stairs, and Qiu Xuan got up from the ground and stood beside Qin Jiuyuan.
"Don't be afraid, little girl." The man laughed, "There's nothing to be afraid of. ”
After being silent for a while, Qiu Xuan asked, "Before, was the voice in my dream you?" ”
"What? Wow, it's touching that you dreamed of me. Qin Jiuyuan pretended to wipe his tears with his cuffs.
Qiu Xuan regretted speaking a little.
A few dream tapirs slowly approached.
"Be careful not to attack them!" Lu Xingzhou said to Qiu Xuan.
Qiu Xuan: "Can everyone see it?" ”
Lu Xingzhou: "...... Where did I mess with you again? ”
No, but you provoked me "in my dreams". Qiu Xuan thought expressionlessly.
A dream tapir jumped up and pounced on them, and Qiu Xuan repeatedly rubbed the birdcage necklace with her hand while dodging, thinking that the next second the birdcage elf (?) will pop up to fulfill her three wishes.
Nothing happened, except that she was about to wear the paint off.
"Which floor is Zhao Ke on?" Qiu Xuan asked.
"I don't know, I chased Zheng Yunyuan and them on the third floor before, but I heard Zheng Yunyuan's voice just now on the second floor, so it's probably on the second floor, right?" Lu Xingzhou said.
Qiu Xuan gritted her teeth, ignored the exclamations of Lu Xingzhou and Gu Qingyue behind her, turned around and ran up to the second floor.
Although I don't know what happened, Zhao Ke, as the protagonist of the "carnival night", is definitely a breakthrough.
Behind her, taking advantage of Qin Jiuyuan's distraction of the monsters' hatred value, Lu Xingzhou and Gu Qingyue also followed.
"Why are you looking for Zhao Ke alone? You may not have just woken up and didn't understand the situation, but he is now in a state of not recognizing his six relatives, which is really terrifying. Lu Xingzhou said.
"Shh Qiu Xuan motioned for him to whisper, hiding in the corner of the corridor and looking quietly.
Zheng Yunyuan fell to the ground with twitching limbs, looking like he had lost consciousness. Zhao Ke stood above him, playing with a small cloud of silvery-white flocculent objects in his right hand.
", that can't be Zheng Yunyuan's soul, right?" Lu Xingzhou whispered.
"Don't be stupid, then Zheng Yunyuan won't be alive, okay?" Gu Qingyue denied the claim.
Immediately after, Zhao Ke looked back at them as if he had heard something.
Gu Qingyue reflexively took a step back, and it was this step that crushed a dream tapir that had been following them.
Finished! The thoughts in the minds of the three people at the moment were synchronized.
Qiu Xuan hesitated for a moment, and didn't care about Zhao Ke who came to hear the sound, she pounced on Gu Qingyue and firmly protected her whole person in her arms from top to bottom - just like what Gu Qingyue did to her in a "dream".
Before the person who was pressed under the person under the "Qiu Xuan ......" could react, the dream tapir that suddenly appeared in mid-air bit down on Qiu Xuan.
She fell to the ground, endured the severe pain and smiled at Gu Qingyue, and lost consciousness in the next second.
Opening her eyes again, Qiu Xuan found herself lying on the bed in her room. She was stunned and before she could react, she heard the sound of a broken horn behind the door in the next second.
"Is Sister Qiu Xuan there, is she awake, is my sister here, is my sister awake, is I here, send a photo to see, are you awake, Sister Qiu Xuan?"
Without the funny anger of the last time, Qiu Xuan only felt like falling into ice for a moment.
