Qiu Xuan stood outside the ancestral hall for a while, and subconsciously touched the ugly pendant inside through his pocket, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was correct.

She pressed her palm to the window and tapped gently, "Don't cry yet, it's not that I don't want to save you, but now is not the time." You know, our archaeological team has a mission on its part, so even if we rescue you now, we can't leave the village, if you're willing to wait a little longer......"

"Wait? Do you want me to wait until I'm tied up to get married?! Suddenly, only through a layer of windows, Jiang Lanjing's voice changed from a painful pleading at the beginning to a kind of quenching resentment, which sounded as if he had hated Qiu Xuan together.

"I've begged until now, and I've waited until now, and everyone who comes to see me has an excuse! What has a task on your body, what concerns about the overall situation, are all excuses! If you really want to save me, where do you have so many concerns, hehehe...... I know, I know. You are just afraid, you are afraid that you will be targeted by ghosts when you see the bride, and you will bring misfortune to yourself! Just say you're scared, don't bother telling lies to coax me! ”

Qiu Xuan: "Since you know the minds of our people, then why are you waiting here, why are you responding to my words now?" ”

There was a sudden silence for a few seconds.

“…… I just don't give up. The woman's voice was choked, sounding pitiful and fragile. I was inexplicably tied up in the countryside and inexplicably married to a stranger, how willing am I...... You save me, you can save me if you want to, right? ”

"How am I going to save you?"

"Open the window and get me out."

Open the window...... ?

Qiu Xuan stood outside the ancestral hall, facing the poor bride in the room, as if they were looking at each other through a window. Suddenly, as the choked sobs of the bride inside became clearer and clearer, she stretched out her arm towards the window as if she had been bewitched by something.

"Help me, help me...... I'm so unwilling, I'm unwilling......"

"Help Me ......"

An arm suddenly rested on Qiu Xuan's hand that had touched the window frame.

She was stunned, and turned back as if she had suddenly come to her senses, and realized that the person who stopped her was Misha.

"Don't take the woman's word for it." Misha looked at her without any emotion, and the sharp light in her eyes didn't look like the newcomer who could cry for a long time with a punch a few days ago.

Qiu Xuan raised her eyebrows, "When did you come?" ”

"It's not long since I arrived." Misha said succinctly, "It's getting dark, so we'd better go back first." ”

"Don't believe her!" Jiang Lanjing's terrible and somewhat frightened scream suddenly came from the ancestral hall, "She is not a 'person'!" I can see it, you must not go with her, it is almost dark, she can't enter the ancestral hall, you hurry in and hide! ”

Misha frowned and looked at Qiu Xuan, but she didn't say anything to defend herself. "I said, it's getting dark, don't believe the woman, let's go back quickly."

It's not an illusion, it's getting dark getting early.

As early as the second day after coming to Jinlin Village, Qiu Xuan had such a hunch, it may have been following a relatively normal speed of alternating white nights, but as they entered the village, the sun set earlier and earlier.

It stands to reason that at this time, it may have just reached the afternoon of the first day, but now it looks very bad.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like if the sun didn't rise again at this rate.

Qiu Xuan slowly turned her head and looked at Misha, who was staring at her. "Can you tell me that the voice that has been calling my name in the underground graveyard that day since we separated?"

Misha's expression seemed to be a little strange, but then, she actually grinned at Qiu Xuan, and that smile looked strange and inexplicable in the shadow of the fading sky.

Misha said, "Yes." ”

"You hear me, she's definitely not 'human'!" Through the first layer of windows, Jiang Lanjing slapped the window frame vigorously to try to make her change her mind. "It's almost too late, and even if you go back with her now, you won't have time to go back! Come in quickly, don't go back with her!" ”

Qiu Xuan retracted her gaze, "Let's go." ”

Jiang Lanjing's tone was excited: "You're crazy!" You'll regret it, that woman is not human! There's still a chance, come back soon! ”

Qiu Xuan followed Misha to the place where the sun had disappeared, and behind them, in the crack of the window where the welding wire did not move, a pair of eyes stared at them with resentment.

……

"Why did you choose me?" Misha ran beside Qiu Xuan, her speed was not inferior to Qiu Xuan, and there was even a feeling that she hadn't used her full strength yet. "Don't you suspect that I'm a rebel, no matter what I thought just now, that woman's words are more credible."

"Actually, I didn't suspect that you were a rebel at first," Qiu Xuan paused when she saw Misha who was running next to her raise her eyebrows. "I suspect you're a native of the Native Worlds mixed in with the Executioners, or rather, not human, the ugly ghost underground."

Misha: "......"

The face that had been capitalized with indifference since yesterday finally distorted for a second, and Misha turned her head faintly, and began to imitate the voice in the tomb that day and shouted, "Afu...... You haven't thought about what if your guess is right? ”

"If it's right, I'll have to choose to go back with you, because I can't choose to face the bride." Qiu Xuan took it for granted, "Please, that bride looks like a ghost revenge script, if I listen to her enter the ancestral hall, I'm afraid I will end this trial on the spot." ”

Misha didn't speak, just snorted.

"Actually, I was still suspicious of you, but now I feel ...... Is that blind? Qiu Xuan paused, and in the opposite direction of the two running at high speed, she saw the blind man she had met before holding his tattered strings and walking towards the area that had been darkened, and the doors of every house on the street had been closed, and it was impossible for anyone to let him in.

"Hey! It's getting dark, you hurry home and don't go outside! ”

Out of retribution for the clue that the blind man told her before, Qiu Xuan still shouted a reminder while running. She was afraid that the other party would probably not be able to see the change in the sky, who would have thought that the back in the opposite direction would seem to be deaf and blind, and her footsteps kept continuing to walk into the darkness.

"Don't think about it, he doesn't have a place to live."

Misha only glanced in that direction and stopped looking, "Otherwise, why do you think he sits on the side of the road and plays the violin every day?" However, I don't know what the reason is, I heard that he seems to wander around the village every night, but he has survived until now. ”

As she spoke, Misha shook her head. "If I were you, instead of having the leisure to care about others, it would be better to worry about what to do with yourself."

Also, the sun disappeared much faster than they could run, and if it continued like this, the two of them would not be able to reach their dwellings until the sky had completely darkened.

Misha's wrist moved, and a palm-sized flying machine appeared in her palm.

That fluctuation is undoubtedly familiar, and it is something that every executioner who has been to a desperate situation will have.

Accompanying space.

Qiu Xuan shook her head and smiled, and the last doubt in her heart was completely gone.

"By the way, I have one last question." Misha first tied Qiu Xuan to the flying machine, and then squeezed herself into the crook of her arm to make it look like a weak newcomer was caught in her hands and brought back, and said, "Say." ”

"Did you know that bald man before?"

Misha: "I don't know. ”

Qiu Xuan completely understood, "The acting skills are good." ”

"Concession, life is compelled."

"When are you going to do it?"

"Tonight, you sleep, I'll figure it out myself." Misha pressed her finger bones, "Didn't you sleep last night, then you have to fall asleep today." Oh yes, I haven't settled accounts with you for forcing me to enter the temple, so you owe me it once. ”

Qiu Xuan smiled.

With the acceleration of the flying machine—although the name of this thing is a flying machine, it is actually a bamboo dragonfly, and it flies under it with the weight of two people with the strength of Qiu Xuan's arms—they still rushed back to their homes in the last bit of time.

As soon as she got to the ground, Misha Xijing instinctively went up, choked up and took Qiu Xuan's hand and said thank you, thanks to her she was able to survive, seeing Ye Qing at a loss. The bald man who was in charge of bringing the newcomer was not so easy to speak, and he pulled Misha's arm extremely roughly, and yelled in front of the crowd, "Didn't you say don't run around and cause trouble, I should have killed you directly!" ”

Misha sobbed extremely loudly.

Qiu Xuan: ...... Alas.

Misha is not a newcomer, on the contrary, she is a veteran who has been trained for a long time. If you don't just love to play and want to add drama to yourself, there are undoubtedly only a few situations for veterans to pretend to be newcomers in the proving ground: pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, disguising themselves when they have enemies in the same trial, not letting people pay attention to themselves, or confusing teammates to lower their vigilance.

Generally speaking, the practice of confusing teammates to lower their vigilance is suitable for competing in a hostile proving ground, but this trial is clearly accomplished by the common interests of the executioners, and there is no reason to mislead teammates.

Unless, the teammate has another identity.

For example, "ghosts" who mingle in the crowd with bad intentions. Say, rebels.

Rebels are against everyone's interests, and have a different main quest, usually killing all of their teammates to win. In the current situation, all the "suspicions" that Misha shows in front of her are pointing Misha to the position of the rebel. But if Misha is not a newcomer, whether it is in the tomb or not, Qiu Xuan deliberately showed that she was bewitched by the bride to open the window, or if Misha was saving her.

Last night, Misha was forced into the temple and saw the same male Buddha.

Misha is not a rebel, so all the doubts she does are to carry the black pot for a person and be pushed out to attract attention.

The last question, does she recognize the bald man?

Acquaintance, which means that the two of them are together, is performed at the very beginning to confuse the other executioners, but Misha said that they don't know. It cannot be ruled out that she is lying, but this lie has no meaning, because if you say that you will do it tonight, then the truth will be verified after night.

If you don't know it, it means that the identity of the bald man can only be a rebel.

Misha guessed this fact, so she pretended to be a newcomer at the beginning to confuse the temptation. Now I don't know what method she used to know the identity of a rebel in a trial in advance, but if you guess wrong, it doesn't matter if there are no rebels in this trial, the bald man is lying and wants to trap his teammates from the beginning, and such a person is not beneficial to the team.

Qiu Xuan glanced at this side and withdrew her gaze, an experienced and decisive veteran like Misha didn't need her to worry at all. The main question now is what happened to Ye Qing, whether Chen Ming went to the tailor shop this afternoon.

Shen Jingxue glanced at her, meaning that there are many people now, and we will communicate in the evening.

After the sea of corpses and blood of the skinned people in the morning, and the fact that some people went to the village in the afternoon to find themselves unhappy, most of the executioners said that they would rest early and talk about it tomorrow. A total of one executioner and two students died on that day, and the number of students remaining so far was nine, and the number of executioners was reduced from fourteen to eight.

If Misha doesn't miss tonight, it's seven.

The rest of the people tonight were also divided into two piles, one house with four students and four executioners, and one with five students and four executioners.

Qiu Xuan's four-person team was also divided into groups, so the four of them brazenly took advantage of the students to wash up and propped up a noise barrier to come out, discussing the experience of this afternoon.

"Chen Ming did go to the tailor's shop in the afternoon, and she did have the red cloth she begged for in her hand." Because the probability of Ye Qing following up to be discovered is too great, and the number of two people is too large, it is possible to be exposed, so only Shen Jingxue followed Chen Ming to the tailor's shop. "It's just that I always feel that the old man's attitude is very strange."

Shen Jingxue touched her chin, "Obviously, he kept saying that he wanted red cloth to be used as a wedding dress, but when Chen Ming really brought the cloth in front of him, he looked depressed again. They also quarreled later, oh, it was the old man who scolded Chen Ming unilaterally, and Chen Ming hugged his arms and said nothing. ”

"But in the end, the boss still took the cloth away, and when he finally left the store, Chen Ming's expression on his face was not very good-looking, and that's all I saw."

Thinking of something, the expression on Shen Jingxue's face was not very good-looking. "Honestly, I've never met a really obnoxious old man. It's okay to look like that, but when Chen Ming came out, I pretended to be passing by and went into his shop to see, but he actually kicked me out! ”

"What are you doing without a red cloth coming into my shop?" The tailor shop owner stared at Shen Jingxue with a pair of eyes that protruded from his loose skin, looking a little terrifying. "Get out of here, get out of here! All go away, everyone! ”

"I'm going to start making wedding dresses."

He said.
