Pick up 24 chapters of the caged bird

When he came back to his senses, Qiu Xuan's eyes were dark.

Just when she began to wonder if she was blind, someone suddenly took off the black in front of her.

Her eyes ached, and she almost burst into tears. Then the gaze was again covered by a wide palm, "Close your eyes, and you'll be fine in a while." Qin Jiuyuan said.

"Are you alright? Is there anything wrong with it? Then she heard Gu Qingyue's voice.

“…… No. She spoke in a hoarse voice.

"It's good if you don't, scare me to death, you suddenly stand there motionless, and you don't reply to 'it' questions, scare me so much that you're going to be wiped out by 'it' in the next second." It was the voice of Lu Xingzhou.

Qiu Xuan stood in place and blinked a little dazedly, and then was warned by the man with itchy palms to "don't move".

So she closed her eyes again and relieved for a while, feeling that it was almost over, and then gently took Qin Jiuyuan's hand away. Looking around, she realized that she hadn't been "gone" for too long, at least the crowd was still lined up as before, but there was something strange in the way she looked at her.

It seemed to see her return to "normal", Zhang Hui muttered, "Didn't you say before that pushing two positions forward is the answer, even if you forget the order, you can't say that people are [ghosts]." ”

Qiu Xuan just looked at him and didn't speak.

Electronic sound: "Player Qiu Xuan's return has been detected, and the game continues." ”

Qiu Xuan didn't move.

Lu Xingzhou yelled at her on the other side, "What are you doing?!" Dropped again? It's still in punishment mode, don't mess around! ”

As if convinced, Qiu Xuan took one last look at Zhang Hui, turned around and walked to the middle of the circle to stand.

Crowd: "Who's standing behind you?" ”

Qiu Xuan: "He cheated, he just peeked." ”

Crowd:? Who, who cheated? What are you talking about??

Electronic tone: "Answer incorrectly, game continues." ”

The people looked at each other until the electronic voice reminded them impatiently, and they began to circle again, confused.

Crowd: "Who's standing behind you?" ”

Qiu Xuan: "If you are willing to gamble and lose, it's time for you to be a ghost." ”

Electronic tone: "Answer incorrectly, game continues." ”

Crowd: What's wrong with her, she's not in her mind? Was you caught up with something bad just now?

Even though everyone was confused, "it" said "the game continues" over and over again, and they only kept singing and turning in circles like tool men, cooperating with Qiu Xuan's performance alone.

Qiu Xuan: "I didn't, I just had a little discomfort in my throat." ”

Qiu Xuan: "Would you like to be my girlfriend?" ”

Qiu Xuan: "You can't keep locking me in the house. ”

……

Just when everyone was about to turn numb and their voices were about to be hoarse, the heroic brave man finally jumped out, intending to resist Qiu Xuan, the owner of the black factory who was squeezing labor.

"Enough!" Zhang Hui yelled at her, "I don't care how you know this, but now! Shut up! ”

Qiu Xuan: "My little bird belongs to me forever now." ”

"I say! Shut up!!! The man's eyes were red, he was panting, and his face was as hideous as a ghost.

Electronic voice: "Who's standing behind you?" ”

"Jiang Han," Qiu Xuan said, "the person standing behind me at this moment is Jiang Han. ”

"Correct! Congratulations to player Qiu Xuan for successfully catching [Ghost]! The title of 'Ghost Hunter Champion' is hereby awarded as a reward! Ding Ding Ding – Game Over! ”

When everyone looked at each other because they didn't know who Jiang Han was or whether to complain about the title of "Ghost Hunting Champion", Qiu Xuan just took off the blindfold again and turned his head and looked at Zhang Hui calmly.

"Your little bird can never belong to you." She said, "Because from the beginning, it was only you Jiang Han who was confined to the cage. ”

“…… Ha, haha, what are you talking about, what do you know? Yes?! The man yelled at her with red eyes, "Who do you think you are?" Trying to understand us just by knowing us a little bit? ”

"But you know I'm not wrong. Also, I've answered this question before, I'm your father. ”

"You...... You, what have you done to me? The man's expression turned from anger to fear, and he began to scream in pain as he watched himself being slashed by an invisible blade in the air, "What have you done to me?!! ”

"It has been detected that the [ghost] has been caught, and the 'ghost extermination' mode will be carried out immediately."

"Ahhhh The man knelt on the ground in agony, already a bloody man.

"Han, it's okay." In the crowd, Xiaolu walked out, squatted down and gently hugged the man in his arms, "It's okay, I will always love you." ”

"My, ah, my ......" Blood kept pouring out of the man's mouth, and he only stubbornly raised his eyes to look at Xiaolu.

"No, it's 'me.'" The woman smiled sweetly, as she had done so many times before, and she raised her hand to straighten the messy hair on the man's forehead, and said softly, "Now, my little bird will be mine forever." ”

"I, I'm ......" The man's eyes widened and he slowly stopped breathing.

Xiaolu only smiled sweetly, watching the man annihilate in her arms, she lowered her head and kissed the corner of the man's bloodstained mouth. The blood stained her lips, and it was unbelievably beautiful.

Then, everyone watched as the woman prostrated her forelimbs to the ground, frowning and closing her eyes and moaning, and in the next second, her body skyrocketed! Her slender limbs were instantly covered with a layer of dead gray fur, sharp nails pierced through her fingertips, her arched back tore through her clothes, and she let out a long, piercing hiss that was familiar to everyone.

Wendigo, a transformed Wendigo during the day.

The transformed monster seemed to glance at the man's body tenderly and affectionately, and then, the monster opened its sharp teeth and bit down.

After a few bites, he seemed to stick out his tongue and lick the blood on the ground with some unfinished thoughts. Gradually, the huge figure slowly faded, and the woman who was still licking the blood on her hands reappeared in everyone's field of vision.

The crowd behind him was as quiet as chickens, for fear that if he said a word, it would be affected.

Xiaolu tidied up her clothes, looked back, swept around everyone, and then fixed it on Qiu Xuan. The man who was standing frowned and leaned sideways in front of Qiu Xuan.

Xiaolu didn't seem to see Qin Jiuyuan's vigilance, "You saw it at that time, right?" She said to Qiu Xuan, "I put it in the basement of the house and asked someone to customize the cage, have you seen it, 'sister'?" ”

"Hmm."

"Well, it's a shame to think about it now, if only my wish at the time was 'so that Han would never be able to step out of that cage'. You don't have to work as hard as you do now. The woman pouted complainingly like a really delicate girl, as if time had never left a mark on her, "But now I am equally satisfied with this ending, and I thank you for it." ”

"I have a question." Qiu Xuan said.

"You ask."

"At that time, on the second night, how could you be killed by Yang Bo?"

"Oh, you said the bearded man. I met him sneakily out in the middle of the night, and when he saw me, he seemed to kill me. I knew at that time that his ability was probably to kill people and take other people's lives for himself, so I negotiated with him and said that I was willing to give him my life. The specific reason is that I think that the mortal body can't fulfill my wishes? ”

"So you're risking your life? What if there is no way to recall the bone? ”

"It doesn't matter, it's not the first time anyway. When did I not gamble with my life after being with him? Besides, even if I really die, as long as Ah Han can't let go of me for a day, he will belong to me one day. He can't go anywhere, and one day, what is gone on the ground will be reunited underground. ”

"You're pretty romantic." Qiu Xuan said.

Hearing this, Qin Jiuyuan beside him glanced at her indescribably.

"Thank you." Xiaolu smiled sweetly.

"That's right, I'm leaving, I'll leave this to you." She took the birdcage necklace from her neck and handed it to Qiu Xuan, "Although it is a little difficult, I still hope that someone can remember our story." ”

"Where are you going?" Qiu Xuan asked.

Xiaolu winked at her mysteriously, "Of course, take my little bird to swim all over the world." ”

After being silent for a while, Qiu Xuan didn't persuade her, she took the necklace and said, "I can't say anything about your dog man Zhuma, but I will remember you." ”

The woman was amused by her, and happily supported her waist and laughed for a while before straightening up, "Okay, I'm leaving, I wish you victory." I wish you the best of your heart. ”

"Thank you."

The woman waved her hand casually as a goodbye, and walked into the snowstorm wearing a single dress. The ice and snow soon drowned the woman's thin figure, and it didn't take long for nothing to be seen.

"You were serious?" Qin Jiuyuan asked, "Do you really think that the relationship between the two of them is quite 'romantic'?" ”

"yes, there's nothing wrong with that. Perhaps this approach may seem pathological and paranoid to ordinary people, but from the perspective of the two of them alone, the two can be together forever, they are imprisoned by each other, become each other's 'caged birds', and both have achieved the redemption that their hearts most expect. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with this, why should ordinary people care what they think. ”

The man gave her a thoughtful look.

Qiu Xuan kept her eyes until she couldn't see anything, and she shook the necklace in her hand.

I will remember you for everyone. She thought.

I'll remember you,

Shen Luyan.

In the afternoon, everyone was not in high spirits, perhaps because of the pattern of punishment in the morning, or because they witnessed a cannibalism. They lay or sit in the hall, talking in small groups and muttering quietly.

Qiu Xuan saw Zhao Ke sitting on the sofa next to him and began to recite poetry again. This is really, she quietly rolled her eyes, thinking you read it, read it, if you can summon something tonight, I will perform a handstand in the snow on the spot.

However, Zhao Ke's identity ability as a "bard" is really annoying, and he will be eliminated sooner or later. She thought to herself.

Qin Jiuyuan, who was sitting next to him, looked at the little girl with a calm face and a bluffing expression, a little funny, "Who are you planning to calculate?" He asked.

"Brother Yuan, do me a favor, vote for Zhao Kebei tonight."

Qin Jiuyuan pretended to pray for the man with glasses for a few seconds in his heart, and promised on his lips: "Okay, good." ”

The crowd gathered together to eat casually, and then dispersed to search the villa for clues.

Qiu Xuan pretended to be seriously looking for clues, and at the same time turned out the necklace carved with a delicate birdcage in her pocket to see if there was any mystery. Actually, no, she had already touched the necklace inside and out during lunch, but it looked like just an ordinary pendant, maybe a little expensive.

She wasn't very bothered about it, and seeing that she couldn't figure out any mechanism, she put the necklace back in and carefully placed it in the inner compartment of her coat.

Seeing that there was really nothing to find on the first floor, Qiu Xuan was about to go upstairs to have a look, speaking of which, she had never visited the third floor of the villa properly, so it was better to take advantage of this to go up and have a look.

As soon as she walked up two flights of stairs, her mind suddenly went blank for a moment, and then her legs went limp and her feet were empty, and she fell face to the ground and the steps. In the fraction of a second, with her previous reaction speed, not to mention completely avoiding, it was always okay to use her arm to protect her head. But she didn't, and she let herself fall forward like a stiff corpse.

In the next moment, she was picked up by the man standing behind her.

"Tsk, distracted? What are you thinking? Qin Jiuyuan held her up like a barbell, and asked with a twisted eyebrow.

In normal times, Qiu Xuan would definitely say that you can not always lift me up like I am lifting some heavy object, but she is so wrong now. It's like sometimes sleeping with a clear idea that you're dreaming, but you just can't wake up.

Her brain was still functioning, but her body seemed to be out of her control.

She uncontrollably allowed herself to fall on Qin Jiuyuan like a puddle of mud, listening to the man asking in her ear, "What's wrong, what's uncomfortable", she wanted to say Isn't it obvious, her whole body is paralyzed and she urgently needs amputation below the eyebrows. But she couldn't say anything, she could only watch as Qin Jiuyuan lifted herself to the bed like a puddle of mud again.

Qiu Xuan: I'm so tired, I'm really fed up, please don't lift me up again, I don't want to be embarrassed.

She turned her only eyeball that could move with difficulty, watching Qin Jiuyuan take Gu Qingyue upstairs in a hurry, watching Gu Qingyue flip herself inch by inch like turning pork in a vegetable field, and looking at Gu Qingyue's expression of "We have tried our best but ......" and what Qin Jiuyuan said.

Oh, it's over. Thinking so, her consciousness went dark.

……

When she woke up again, Qiu Xuan stared blankly at the darkness.

After a moment to remember what had happened, she rubbed her head and sat up from the bed. Then the next second, it was as if the elbow had hit something.

She pushed the lump with a calm face, and then she heard a man beside her in a confused and even nasal voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Oh no, late at night, unconscious, in bed, strange man.

This is too exciting, Qiu Xuan thought expressionlessly.

A strange man sat up and yawned, rubbed his hair again, "Awake?" Is there anything else that is uncomfortable? ”

"What's wrong with me?"

"Well, Miss Leader Bird said that you were functioning normally, but I don't know why it was like this. Later, Akita came and said it was because of a 'curse'. To put it simply, you have been cursed, as if someone had 'cursed' you. ”

"Whose power is this?"

"No, I don't feel like anyone is using the ability. Of course, it's also possible that the identity of that person was already known before, so I can't sense it. ”

"But...... Why me? None of us have any enmity against me. Qiu Xuan frowned in the dark, thinking if it was Zhao Ke who found out that she was the one who threatened him in the toilet at that time?

"Well, maybe it's been targeted." Qin Jiuyuan touched her head with unmistakable precision in the dark, "It's okay, Brother Yuan covers you." ”

"And then you put me on the bed?" Qiu Xuan rolled her eyes at him, rolled over and got out of bed, and said, "It's incredible that Gu Qingyue actually agreed that I would be in the same room with you. ”

She just said it casually, and didn't see the man behind her touch his nose with some weakness.

"What time is it? Is it too late for me to go downstairs and vote? ”

"Don't worry, it's less than 5 o'clock, and you can sleep a little longer when you come back."

Qiu Xuan was a little relieved, and then asked, "Nothing happened tonight, right?" ”

"It's okay, everything is fine, no orangutans didn't come." Men answer all questions, and their patience is extreme.

Qiu Xuan stopped at the dining table with some suspicion and looked back at Qin Jiuyuan, "Why are you so good today, are you hiding something from me?" ”

"Little conscienceless," Qin Jiuyuan feigned anger, "Am I not good enough, when did I treat you badly?" ”

Thinking about it carefully, Qiu Xuan put his mind at ease, and wrote the word "Zhao Ke" directly on his voting note.

Putting down the pen, Qiu Xuan was hungry. "Is there anything else to eat in the kitchen, I'm hungry."

"I've already left it for you," Qin Jiuyuan walked towards the kitchen with her, and said angrily, "You said I was good to you, and you even doubted me just now?" ”

"Wrong, wrong." Qiu Xuan actively admitted her mistakes and died without repentance.

As soon as she walked to the kitchen, Qiu Xuan could smell the faint aroma of food coming from inside, she was still naïve at that time thinking that this kitchen was so good, and it also had its own heating function, and the next second she met Lu Xingzhou and Li Siyao who were stuffed with noodles in their mouths.

Qiu Xuan: ......

Lu Xingzhou: ......

Swallowing the food in his mouth, the yellow-haired boy greeted her with a stiff smile, "Hey, you're awake, I thought you could sleep until dawn hahahaha." Is there anything uncomfortable if you're hungry, voila, we've got you covered! ”

He handed the plate of noodles in his hand that looked like they had been eaten by a giant monster to Qiu Xuan, and Li Siyao next to him looked timidly with red ears.

"Li Siyao, right," she put on an amiable smile at the girl behind Lu Xingzhou, "Can I trouble you to let it go, because if you can do it, blood may splash you." ”

The overly shy girl turned white in fright, but she still shook her body in front of Lu Xingzhou, "Face me, I also eat, don't, don't hurt Xingzhou, yes, I'm sorry." ”

Li Siyao is not easy to do like this, as if she is bullying men and women.

She stretched out two fingers and rubbed her temples, which were still aching, and she had lost all her temper at all. "Forget it, go back, sleep again, and get up for breakfast tomorrow."

Seeing Qiu Xuan like this, Lu Xingzhou felt a little guilty, "What," he scratched his head, "Why don't you drink more water when you go back?" ”

"Isn't it good to be alive?" Qin Jiuyuan warned him with an iron fist.

"Wrong, wrong." Lu Xingzhou hurriedly pulled Li Siyao away.

Qiu Xuan sniffed, "Let's go back too," she pressed her temples with some headaches, "I still want to sleep a little longer." ”

When it was really dawn, Qiu Xuan got up from the bed, washed up briefly and went straight to the breakfast table.

She simply greeted Gu Qingyue and responded to her concern of "are you still uncomfortable?", sat down and took the peeled egg handed by Qin Jiuyuan and ate it.

When she was almost six or seven minutes full, she felt something in her stomach, and her eating speed began to slow down, and she was also in the mood to observe the other crowd.

She saw Lu Xingzhou sitting in front of his seat with his face drooping, and there was nothing on the table. Next to him, Li Siyao wanted to secretly distribute his food to him, but after being glared at by Qin Jiuyuan, he lowered his head and didn't dare to move again.

Qiu Xuan felt a little funny, she thought about how Qin Jiuyuan was so naïve, but her heart was full of a sense of fullness that she was cared about.

At eight o'clock, the results of the voting began again on time.

"Qin Jiuyuan 2 votes, Lu Xingzhou 2 votes, Zhao Ke 4 votes, Zheng Yunyuan 1 vote. Player Zhao Ke was detected to have the highest number of votes, and player Zhao Ke was eliminated! ”

Faced with such a result, the man with silver-rimmed glasses only turned white, but it was far from the panic he had last night.

He raised his head and took a deep breath, his lips open. Liu Nian over there hesitated, turned something out of his pocket and looked at it several times in his hand, and finally made up his mind, the man in the suit and leather shoes opened his mouth.

Two different voices intertwined, reunited into one.

"I use a swap card, and the swap person is Zhao Ke/Liu Nian!"

As soon as the words fell, the two glanced at each other in surprise. Reacting, Zhao Ke shook his lips and spoke, "No...... No, Ah Nian, I didn't expect you to ......"

It seems that he has finally seen through it, and it seems that he is completely disappointed in his friend, Liu Nian turned his head and stopped looking at him, and the lower body of the suit was already slowly disappearing.

"Ah Nian, I'm sorry, I don't want to be like this either! You, you know what it means to me to win...... I'm sorry, but you understand me, right? ”

The man with silver-rimmed glasses watched his best friend disappear into thin air, and as if he reacted, the man shook his head, not knowing who he was talking to.

"I'm going to win, with your share, I will."
