Chapter 237: Are You Worthy Too?
Scales, which live in symbiosis with miasma swarms deep in the rainforest, were discovered and introduced by the villagers of Lyme as a way to protect against poison gases. At that time, before entering the village, Qiu Xuan found that the people were able to walk in the rainforest in spite of the dense miasma because of this plant.
It's just that Ran knows and carries scales with him because of the particularity of the original world, and what is the reason for the man who wants to join the ink camp?
That day in the depths of the jungle, Qiu Xuan saw him walking in the miasma as if he were nothing, chasing Lena, and then had to leave in a hurry because he was interrupted by himself. It's a pity that Lena died later, and the man didn't do anything too outrageous after that, I just don't know if the disappearance of the two this morning has anything to do with him.
Ran only glanced at the small patch of soil with scales and leaves, and was sure what kind of plant it was. She nodded lightly at Qiu Xuan and said, "That's the scale leaf, but it's not fully ripe yet...... Do you want it, I've got some more. ”
"Okay, thanks."
They took one last look at the person in charge and the indifferent black-faced villager who was starting to get angry, as if noticing that Qiu Xuan had been staring at their fields for too long, and the villager turned his head and glared at her fiercely as if warning, and finally turned his gaze back under Ran's frown.
Just as they were about to walk back, a loud cry like a baby suddenly came from above another piece of soil not far away. Everyone was startled, and the black-faced villager suddenly sank his face and strode in that direction.
I saw that in the originally dark soil, knots of white root-like plants began to gush out, and the criss-crossing textures above them formed a mouth, and the baby's crying cry came from the mouths of those strange plants.
"It's not ripe season at all, how can they pop up out of nowhere! Grab me and bury it back in the ground! Hurry up! ”
The villagers, who were working in various places, hurriedly ran to catch this strange plant scattered around. Qiu Xuan asked what it was, but the well-informed witch was embarrassed and said that it was not a plant that belonged to that era, so she had never seen it.
"Leave them alone, let's go."
Beside him, Joe hesitated while holding the camera, and suddenly coughed lightly in one direction. Qiu Xuan subconsciously glanced at him, and saw the corner of the crowd facing that direction, the man who wanted to join the high-end plane camp was loading those immature scales into his pocket.
"Hey."
Barry's whole body froze, and reflexively stopped the movement of his hand and looked back at the source of the sound.
The rest of the group had already left the area, and the man looked around to see only some of the members of the production team who were still focused on the weeping plants, the villagers who were scrambling to grab the plants to drive away the outsiders, and the sickly-looking girl who stopped him.
The man narrowed his eyes and pulled out an arrow with red paint on the end from the quiver behind him.
He didn't raise the bowstring either, but he expected Qiu Xuan to end up with the tip of the arrow as if he was doing nothing, against the other party's chest. "If you dare to tell those low-level humans, I'll kill you."
"Yes," Qiu Xuan lowered her eyelashes and glanced at the tip of the sharp arrow, "You are also worthy?" ”
Barry laughed angrily, "I've heard that your illness will last at least a week, and there are still four days, which is enough time for me to kill you countless times." ”
"Hey! What are you doing there? Get out of here! On the other hand, it was not easy for the villagers to solve the crying plants, and the production team saw that there was no more material to shoot, and the contestants had left, so they no longer touched the moldy heads of the villagers. For a while, Qiu Xuan and Barry became the last ones left.
Qiu Xuan turned his head to look at the black-faced villagers who were rushing to this side angrily, and suddenly raised his hand and smashed a puppet.
"What are you doing?!"
Barry subconsciously waved his hand to resist, and the woman with long colorful hair who appeared in an instant was expressionless and wrapped the tip of her hair around the sharp arrow in his hand. The man's right hand was forced, and he heard the person standing behind the "Jiangbei Crane" say: "Qiao just took a video of you stealing things, and you can show it to those villagers at any time." Of course, you could try to kill both of us at the same time before that, but can you do it? ”
"So now you have a choice, tell me where Lena's body is, and I'll act as if I didn't see anything."
Barry sneered and pulled away from his tangled hair, raising his hand and stabbing the top of the bow into the puppet's chest, "Why should I listen to you? Let's see if I have what it takes to kill your cameraman! ”
Joe was startled, and quickly withdrew from his attack range with the camera. Barry's arrows came one after another, and in the next second, another "Jiangbei Crane" stopped in front of Joe out of thin air, and the windless automatic colorful long hair condensed into a spider web to protect Joe in the center.
It was this moment that he lost his last chance to kill Joe here.
Qiu Xuan paced towards the black-faced villager and said in the disgusted gaze of the other party, "I have something to tell you." ”
"Say what?"
"Wait!" Barry clenched his fists and said coldly, "I'll tell you." ”
"That's it."
"......" The man exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said in the face of the increasingly impatient gaze of the black-faced villagers, "I didn't kill that woman at all." ”
"Who else could there be? Aren't you going to be honest with me, hey, I just got a little good shot here......"
"I didn't kill what I said!" Barry roared angrily, staring at Qiu Xuan, with a little dirty red in the whites of his eyes. "I confess that I did try to kill her that night, but as soon as I heard the movement, the woman ran out on her own. I chased after her and only had time to shoot her cameraman with an arrow, but the woman ran out of the village on her own, ignoring the movement behind her, and I ...... There are no scales on her body, and she can't keep up, and I don't know how she died in the end. ”
The black-faced villager's face was terrifying, his gaze overlapped twice between Barry and Qiu Xuan, and he said angrily, "What do you want to do? As I said, outsiders are not welcome here! ”
Qiu Xuan walked away from him and grabbed Joe's arm with one hand to make sure he wouldn't be attacked suddenly.
"The body of the cameraman...... Did you drag it to the edge? ”
"It's me." The man's gloomy gaze flickered for a moment, and then he raised his feet and walked out as more and more villagers gathered. "Because it was too blatant to fall at the entrance of the village, I took the body in a random corner and threw it away and destroyed the camera."
So, Lena was killed when she ran out of the village, and her body was gone, leaving only a head that could prove her identity.
"I know, I won't tell the villagers."
Qiu Xuan glanced at the man, remembered something, and said, "Then the disappearance of the eliminated player this morning has nothing to do with you, right?" ”
"I thought our deal was over."
Barry didn't look at her again, glared at Ethan who was waiting outside with a gloomy face, and left in the other direction alone.
"What did you say with him inside?"
Qiu Xuan was still immersed in his own thoughts, and when he heard this, he glanced at Ethan, and still picked and said, "He said that Lena was not killed by him." ”
"Huh? What about funny? I saw him and Mo Fang walking together. Ethan pouted as if he couldn't stand it, "It's not who else he is, only by killing Lena can he join Mofang's camp." ”
Barry should know that Qiu Xuan has seen the conditions of his cooperation with Mo Fang and others, and for a person like him, killing a photographer can be such an understatement, let alone just killing a contestant. Especially when she threatened the villagers at that time, admitting that it was not a big deal that she killed Lina.
Why do you have to go to such lengths to explain that you just killed the camera and didn't catch up with Lena, so what Barry said is very likely to be true.
Then the range of people who can kill Lena outside the village is suddenly much narrower.
The main town, the old house of Ryder.
In a hall where retro meets digital revolution is sitting, a young man, two well-dressed and expensive ladies, and an old man with a well-trimmed white beard sits on the couch.
If there were the aborigines of this world, they would definitely exclaim in surprise when they saw this scene, and in the next second, they posted under their accounts, saying that they saw the living Emperor His Majesty.
The bearded old man leaned back on the couch cushion, the edges of his beard, trimmed into the shape of a small hat, upturned. Suddenly, he turned sideways to the young man next to him with great interest and said, "Lyle, this Lem Village...... How come I've never heard of it, is it all Jingchuan's arrangement? ”
Lyle Ryder, who is also the next heir to the Ryder family, the young and pale man smiled, raised his hand and poured another glass of unknown precious liquor for the old man. "No, this arrangement seems to be unaware of the crew of "Live Game" themselves. But I heard Phoebe...... It was one of Grace's players who used the company's forces to make this arrangement, and now it seems that this 'accident' was obviously extremely successful, isn't it? ”
The old man took a sip of the liquid in the cup, and did not say good or bad, but looked at it with interest for a while, and then patted the shoulder of the girl sitting next to him as if he remembered. "Well, do you have a favorite player in this issue?"
The girl lifted her long eyelashes with broken diamonds stuck to the tip, but she looked uninterested. "Grandpa, it's not like you don't know, this "Live Game" is getting more and more boring, and the issue where Lotta is here is a little better...... Speaking of which, Brother Lyle, did you know that Lotta turned down my party invitation once again! It's too much, but it's just because people like her that she's so arrogant, and I really want people to show her some color. ”
The man smiled and looked back at the old man who was sitting upright, but the old man sat on the sofa again and closed his eyes lightly, as if he was asleep.
The girl was silent, called up the communicator and commanded the bodyguards to carry the old man up the teleportation compartment lightly, until the group retreated as silently as when they came, and finally stood up with a sigh of relief.
"Grandpa has been staying up late lately to deal with official business, and no one will listen to him, and I don't know if he can ...... Alas. ”
"Don't worry." Ryder tapped her on the shoulder and poured her a glass of wine. "By the way, isn't that new recruit under Grace a good guy lately? Do you like it, if you are interested, I will send someone to send it to you. ”
"No, I feel tired of playing, these recent players seem to be produced by an assembly line, and I'm bored to death." The girl looked up and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then turned around and waved her hand. "If only Lotta could...... That's it. It's a pity that she can't move now, who called her a 'symbol'. ”
"Gone."
Ryder raised his hand to send her out, sat down on the couch again, and pulled up the monitor to dial back the playback a bit.
On the screen, Barry says viciously, "I'm going to kill you." The girl he was facing lowered her eyelashes sickly and said softly, "Are you worthy too?" ”
The pale man suddenly raised his wine glass and laughed, his fingers tugged at the image of reversing over and over again, and the tip of his tongue pressed against the inner wall of his mouth, dialing the communication of Phoebe, the general director of "Live Game".
"What I told you last time can begin, you let Jingchuan keep an eye on me with people. By the way, those two men, what are they called Barry and ...... Ethan: Right? They are an eyesore and should be handled cleanly. ”
……
In the evening, when she was temporarily caught by Jingchuan and taken to a small room to talk, Qiu Xuan was a little confused.
At that time, they had just finished a "friendly and friendly" competition between players, and because they had to maintain their sick and weak settings until a week, Qiu Xuan held back the idea of going up and having a good fight, although her hands were itching.
The complete victory in this competition simply made Qing Baichuan and his party's jaws rise to the sky, and Abu Yisen and the others rolled their eyes.
I thought that the day would be over, but I didn't expect the legendary chief screenwriter and assistant director Jingchuan to suddenly call her over for an interview, and even Qiao and the cameramen forbade filming with her, so scared that Qiu Xuan almost thought that he wanted to subtly rule himself.
However, when Jingchuan said the purpose of this time, Qiu Xuan would rather he wanted to subtly rule himself.
She sat in her chair with a blank face and listened to what Jeongcheon said about being chosen by her sponsor. The man with transparent glasses sighed lightly and looked at the person sitting across from him a few times, with some inexplicable emotion in his tone. "To be honest, I'm quite surprised, Qiu Xuan. Among the contestants in this issue, I am actually the most optimistic about Qingbaichuan and Ethan, but I didn't expect you to be the first person to be sponsored. ”
"Lyle Ryder, you should have heard of it, the young master of the Ryder family, the next head of the family, and the emperor's cronies. This is a great patron, and I hope you take advantage of it. By the way, that Ethan, you can act with him, you can stop and find a chance that we will get rid of him. ”
