Chapter 157: Random Choice
"What?" Yu Youwei was really shocked, she never thought that Liang Yuan would have such a misunderstanding. However, when she stared at Liang Yuan with a righteous face with wide eyes, she put herself in her shoes, if she was Liang Yuan, watching a colleague who had never traveled lightly suddenly carried a cat out of the house unusually, and the cat ran out in a strange place, its owner did not have the slightest worry, and all kinds of behavior were indeed very similar to an irresponsible cat owner who wanted to abandon the cat.
Thinking of this, Yu Youwei couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, I haven't been emotionally unstable to that extent."
But Liang Yuan was still staring at Yu Youwei vigilantly, he didn't distrust Yu Youwei's character, if it wasn't for the special affirmation of this person, he wouldn't have had such a good relationship with her. But everything that happened on Baibu Peak seemed to have been affecting Yu Youwei, making him feel that under that influence, Yu Youwei had done some radical behavior.
"It's dark now, and Xiao Hei hasn't been to Pudu Island, so he doesn't know the buildings outside, how can you find it?"
Faced with Liang Yuan's questioning, Yu Youwei had to make up a temporary reason, "When Wei Ran took care of it before, he gave it a spell, no matter where it was, it could sense us, and now the validity period of this spell has not expired, so I dare to take it out to play with it, it should be invalid after a while."
But Yu Youwei didn't expect such a clumsy lie from herself, but Liang Yuan believed it, although her words were outrageous, as long as she brought Wei Ran, he felt credible, after all, in his heart at this time, Wei Ran seemed to have become an omnipotent existence.
"Is that so...... Liang Yuan felt that he had misblamed Yu Youwei, feeling a little guilty in his heart, and his eyes were a little evasive, "Then, let's discuss tomorrow's plan!" When it comes to work, he is justified.
Yu You was a little distressed, they didn't have any useful information at all, they came in a daze, what plan could they have? Tomorrow can only go around, familiarize yourself with the terrain of Pudu Island, and strive to be able to rush to the scene to save people as soon as possible, no matter where it happens. But she has always ignored one thing, Liang Yuan and her purpose are different, Liang Yuan is only here to report the case, but she is here to prevent the next tragedy from happening, as well as the criminal conspiracy of those people behind it.
Yu You thought about it slightly and decided to reveal a little information to Liang Yuan, "The last suicide may not be the last, and there will be suicides soon."
Liang Yuan was no longer surprised by Yu Youwei's astonishing words, he had seen Yu Youwei on fire, like a god in charge of flames, playing with the flames that humans feared in the palm of his hand, what else could surprise him?
So, Liang Yuan asked calmly, "So you're planning to stop it?"
Yu You was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Liang Yuan's acceptance to be so high, but it saved her a lot of time for explaining and making things up. She nodded, "We can gather clues about what happened last time and prepare for the next time and place, and when we don't have any valid information, these two things can be done at the same time, and there is no contradiction between them."
Liang Yuan nodded in agreement, "That's okay, then let's rest early today, I think the weather on Pudu Island is not as good as they advertised, if the weather is like this afternoon, it will not be easy to hold on for a day."
"Okay, I'm going upstairs?" As he spoke, Yu Youwei stepped onto the steps.
"Hey...... Then do we need to leave a door for Xiao Hei?" Liang Yuan was still thinking about the fact that Xiao Hei hadn't come back yet.
"No, you just open the window a little bit, and the cats can squeeze in." Yu Youwei left a fluttering sentence and went upstairs.
Until Yu Youwei was ready to go to bed, the God Devouring Beast still hadn't come back, Yu Youwei had a rough idea in his heart, it must have gone to the scene of those people before and investigated in its own way, so it didn't wait and fell asleep by itself.
Although the God Devouring Beast did not explain how strong it was, it could be known from its previous statement that it would be able to fight against the Water Beast with an entity, and ordinary small fights would not cause it any harm, and Yu Youwei was completely relieved about this.
Late at night, outside the window
It began to rain lightly, and with the sound of raindrops hitting the glass window, Yu Youwei soon fell asleep. Today is a very happy day for her, no matter how tired she is, she can't match the joy that Wei Ran woke up to bring her, and now she can almost be regarded as unhindered, in this rare state of mind, even her sleep has become sweet.
But I don't know how long it took, a voice suddenly appeared in Yu Youwei's originally sweet dream, which was very separate from the dream, it seemed to be a painful moan, and a vague figure stood in front of Yu Youwei, struggling to stretch out her hand for help, and shouted to her in a hoarse voice, "Help me...... Save me......"
It's Liang Yuan! Yu You sat up from the bed slightly, opened her eyes, and as far as the eye could see, it was no different from the day, and she didn't feel the slightest abnormality. But that dream made her unable to feel at ease, and without thinking about it, she called out Liang Yuan's name loudly, "Liang Yuan! Are you still there, Liang Yuan?"
LOFT is not big, she must be able to hear Liang Yuan shouting like this, of course, it cannot be ruled out that he slept too hard to hear the sound of the outside world, Yu Youwei decided to go downstairs to have a look.
Smack! Smack! Yu Youwei pressed the light switch twice in a row, but there was no response, it was still pitch black in front of him, it seemed that there was a power outage, Yu Youwei thought to himself, maybe there was a problem with the circuit in this vicinity. However, she knew that stormy weather was prone to power outages, but she didn't know that this kind of continuous drizzle could also cause power outages, "What kind of circuit is this...... It's too fragile!" Yu Youwei complained while picking up the flashlight on his mobile phone to illuminate it, and cautiously went downstairs.
At this time, it was already half past two in the night, and the God Devouring Beast didn't seem to have come back yet, she believed that the God Devouring Beast would definitely be by her side if it came back, but it didn't, Yu Youwei, who was not worried about the God Devouring Beast at all, was not as calm as before at the moment.
Downstairs, Yu Youwei found that Liang Yuan's door was hidden, she hesitated for a moment, but gently pushed the door open, leaving a gap that was enough for her to see the situation inside.
The situation in front of her shocked her, Liang Yuan turned his back to the door, stood in front of the window and looked out, there were words in his mouth, Yu You couldn't hear the words in his mouth clearly, only vaguely heard the words "as promised" and "sacrifice" that made her creep.
Without thinking about it, she slammed open the door and grabbed Liang Yuan, at this time she had already determined that it was Liang Yuan who asked her for help in her dream, she didn't understand how all this was done, but she knew that now Liang Yuan needed her to save him.
"Liang Yuan! Wake up! What are you doing here?" Yu Youwei dragged Liang Yuan in front of him, trying to make his eyes match his own. However, Liang Yuan's eyes rolled up at a strange and terrifying angle, Yu Youwei couldn't even see his pupils, she never knew that human eyeballs could be flipped to this extent.
The gray eyeballs didn't seem to see anything, no matter how Yu Youwei shouted and pushed, Liang Yuan just didn't react. Yu You was slightly anxious, and tried to use the Imperial Technique to restore his upturned eyeballs to their original state, which seemed to have a little effect at first, she was about to see Liang Yuan's eyes black, but soon, a greater force controlled Liang Yuan. He grabbed Yu Youwei's neck, his hands showed no mercy, and his ten fingers were like an iron tong that firmly locked the passage of Yu Youwei's breathing.
Yu Youwei's hands struggled weakly in the void, she couldn't breathe at all, she couldn't concentrate on using the Imperial Technique, all her strength was concentrated on her hands, trying to break Liang Yuan's locked hands.
She could feel that her face was already hot and hot, and her lungs began to ache sharply, and she knew that she might be stunned by Liang Yuan soon, so she had to hit her head hard against the wall behind her, hoping to use her strength to make Liang Yuan's hands tightly hold her neck create a gap.
For the first time, she really felt that Bi Fang's power was rising from her heart, and in an instant, it spread out in all directions, burning her body like flames, and she knew that she was about to lose control of this body soon.
In an instant, a sharp claw swooped in like a wind, cutting Liang Yuan's arm with several wounds that were not deep or shallow. Strange to say, the wound obviously doesn't look serious,
In the darkness, it seemed to emit a red-golden light, burning up some of the dark attachment energy in Liang Yuan's body.
"Devouring Beast!" Yu Youwei gasped desperately, she clearly knew that the God Devouring Beast had helped her a lot this time, if it hadn't appeared in time, Bi Fang would have woken up at this time.
"Ahem, ahem!" A large amount of air suddenly poured into his lungs, Yu You coughed violently slightly, and the God Devouring Beast squatted aside, quietly looking at Liang Yuan who fell on the bed, and said to Yu Youwei, "I thought wrong at first, I thought that those people were still following the taboos of those formations in the past, but I didn't expect them to do everything. Originally, this kind of formation required the victims of a specific birth date to gather together and sacrifice three times to complete the formation, so that they could summon the things buried here, but they actually came up with a more vicious plan, so that the limitation of birth could disappear and the formation could be perfected more quickly."
"Ahem! Ahem!" Yu Youwei responded to the Devouring Beast with a cough, signaling that it was indeed listening to what it was saying.
"If the number of people increases, you can remove the constraint of birth."
"Ahem! What do you mean? What is the increase in numbers?" Yu Youwei's brain hadn't taken in enough oxygen for her to think as quickly as she used to.
"The number of suicides is increasing." The Devourer continued, "You see, even Liang Yuan has been chosen, and they are now the ones who have been randomly selected to complete the ritual. If you had just come late, you wouldn't have noticed anything unusual about Liang Yuan, he would have worked and lived as usual, but as soon as that person was summoned, he would have gone to complete the sacrificial ritual, and no one would have been able to wake him up. There are at least four more rituals like this, and I think the next one will come soon, and they're in too much of a hurry."
Yu Youwei finally returned to normal, and sat down on Liang Yuan's bed weakly, "Let's wake him up first, fortunately you didn't seriously hurt him, otherwise we would have lost a man for no reason." At such an urgent moment, Yu Youwei didn't want Liang Yuan to be unable to do anything but recuperate from his injuries.
Before the Devouring Beast could speak, Liang Yuan had already let out a low moan, "Ah...... It hurts everywhere, headaches, and arms ache too......" he said, and slowly opened his eyes with his hands on his temples.
As soon as Liang Yuancai opened his eyes, he didn't wait to observe why his arm was so painful, and saw that under the moonlight, Yu Youwei and Xiao Hei were standing in front of his window, and he couldn't see their eyes clearly in the dark, but the appearance of this person and a cat standing here was amazing enough, so he let out a very polite and enthusiastic voice: "Ah——!"
