Chapter 308: A Glimmer of Chance
In the B&B, Qin Manjiang has not slept yet.
He looked out the window at the heavy rain and kept thinking about it.
This strange talk came too quickly for him, one moment he was still in the [Resurrection] strange talk, and the next second he was forcibly pulled into the [Wedding Dress].
And in Qiaojia Village, he learned some things about Zhong Xueran from the mouth of that old Taoist.
Her origin should not be simple, it is likely to be the Zhong family in the mouth of the old Tao, that ...... A family that will enter the world of weirdness for generations.
No wonder it fits her soul, the only permanent prop will be the Taoist [Sanqingling], the people of the Zhong family should all be [Sanqingling], what is the origin of the one-time prop [Shan Qingling]?
This secret may only be known to Zhong Xueran, and she is the one who knows the most about the [Children's World].
It's just that whether it is Zhong Xueran or Xu Yi, in Qin Manjiang's feelings, this time the state is a little wrong.
Xu Yi rarely didn't play around, and Zhong Xueran was no longer full of energy.
He had a vague sense that something was going to happen to those two men......
Therefore, to be fast, to find the key to breaking the game as soon as possible, there can be no mistakes, there is no chance of trial and error, you must succeed at one time!
In fact, after Jiang Du's reminder, Qin Manjiang had already seen through the phenomenon and grasped the key point.
The most bizarre thing about this [wedding dress] strange story is that at almost the same moment, the same curse or ghost will appear in every place, if it is not a doppelganger, then there are too many of them, and if it is a doppelganger, then this ghost has too many abilities.
And whether there are too many ghosts or too many abilities, it is simply unrealistic to find potential restrictive rules one by one.
So, all the anomalies, all the ghosts and curses, are probably a few kites in the palm of one hand.
And the owner of that palm...... It's Liu Junyan.
Whether he is dead or alive, and what state he is in at the moment, as long as he is solved, it will all be over.
However, according to Qin Manjiang's speculation, Liu Junyan is most likely still alive, his purpose is too strong, and the ghost ...... There is no purpose for these "anthropomorphisms".
Yes, the primary purpose now is to find Liu Junyan!
As long as he is still alive, there is a way, whether it is to break his hands and feet, or simply kill him directly, it can effectively stop the continuation of this strange story.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Manjiang immediately picked up his mobile phone and dialed Xu Yi's number.
"Both-"
"Both-"
"Both-"
Didn't.
Have you already encountered any accidents?
Qin Manjiang immediately changed Zhong Xueran's number and dialed it.
This time, the call was quickly picked up.
However, the moment Qin Manjiang picked up his mobile phone, what he heard was Zhong Xueran's trembling voice: "Save him...... Please, save him! ”
In the noisy wind and rain, Zhong Xueran's voice was like a small boat in the raging waves of a wolf, which would capsize if he was not careful.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Manjiang's heart skipped a beat, did Xu Yi have an accident?
"It's been more than three minutes since Xu Yi put on the [Puppet Mask]......"
Zhong Xueran's voice was also a little weak, although her condition was better than Xu Yi, it didn't seem to be much better.
Puppet masks?
Qin Manjiang knew that thing, and his enthusiasm for exchanging one-time items had never been high, but after having more than a hundred spirit children and unlocking almost all of them, he had roughly looked at them.
The role of the puppet mask is very strange, so let's say it's an escape prop, right? It can't intimidate real ghosts.
Let's say that it has the ability to fight, but it is just a paper tiger that can exude a terrifying atmosphere.
The only thing Qin Manjiang could think of was to use it to infiltrate some kind of special place that only ghosts could enter.
To put it simply, the role of that thing is to play ghosts.
What is the purpose of pretending to be a ghost?
Scary?
Qin Manjiang thought quickly, and he comforted: "Don't worry, you are in the old city now?" ”
In the old city, the heavy rain was still falling, Zhong Xueran took his mobile phone and replied quickly: "Yes...... Let's come to the old locust tree to find Shen Hong's corpse. ”
"A group of skinny ghosts like zombies surrounded us, Xu Yi put on a mask in order to get me out of trouble, and now those things are still following behind, Xu Yi has been wearing this mask for more than three minutes......"
Zhong Xueran tried to explain the current situation as concisely as possible.
Qin Manjiang's side didn't speak for a long time.
She was anxious and frightened, and she could clearly feel that the familiar Xu Yi was disappearing......
Xu Yi has been taking a step forward.
The only thing that can be seen on this mask is the eyes, and Xu Yi's eyes are already unconscious.
Zhong Xueran finally understood what Xu Yi was referring to.
What he wanted to tell her was that even if he could no longer remove the mask, even if he had to fight against the mask with almost all his will, he would be able to retain the last vestiges of consciousness and lead her out of this old and decaying place.
Right......
Old and decayed.
This old town is the same as the Taoist temple where Zhong Xueran grew up.
adheres to some seemingly righteous ancestral teachings, but in fact cruelty.
All the descendants of the Zhong family, from the day they were born, did not have their own lives, as if the only meaning of their own existence was to leave their bloodline, and then enter the [Children's World] and die.
Zhong Xueran knew her fate when she was very young, and her nature made her feel that it shouldn't be and wasn't right.
But the education she received from before she was sensible told her that this is your life, and you have to accept your own life.
Her natural personality and the education she received have always made her live a very contradictory life, just like her name, with both snow and burn.
The fire will be extinguished and the snow will melt.
If you want to merge the two with opposite natures, the final result can only be the burning of jade.
But it wasn't until today, or even now, that she realized that there was such a person who had been paying attention to herself.
He had long since discovered her contradictions, he had long seen through her disguise, he had been trying to remove the old snow that had covered her, he had seen the depths of her soul...... It's a raging flame.
At this time, Qin Manjiang's voice came from Zhong Xueran's mobile phone:
"Take the mask off! It wasn't the mask that stopped them from attacking, it was Liu Junyan's order! ”
After finishing speaking, Qin Manjiang also fell silent, it had been more than three minutes, could this mask still be taken off?
At least...... Xu Yi himself has lost consciousness, and it is impossible to take it off his own initiative.
And Zhong Xueran, who got Qin Manjiang's answer, seemed to have found the last hope.
She immediately reached out and slashed at the edge of the mask.
The moment it touched, the iron puppet mask immediately pierced out sharp black nails, piercing Zhong Xueran's fingertips and bleeding.
The claws stretched out from this mask had been deeply rooted in Xu Yi's flesh and blood, and it was as if he had his own consciousness, not allowing others to take it off.
However, Zhong Xueran didn't care about it, she completely ignored the sharp blade stabbed from the edge of the mask, grabbed it, her fingernails scratched at the edge of the mask, blood oozed from her nails, and some even turned over because she was too hard, but she didn't feel the pain at all......
At this moment, she had only one thought, to take it down...... Take this mask down!
The raindrops of beans hit the two of them chaotically, and Xu Yi's upper body was already covered with blood, and he couldn't tell which was the blood on his face and which was the blood on Zhong Xueran's fingertips.
He walked forward silently, hugging Zhong Xueran tightly, leaving only this one consciousness.
And Zhong Xueran completely forgot everything around her, her fingers were broken, her palms were also stabbed into a lake of flesh and blood, and she only had one consciousness left...... Save him.
In the B&B, Qin Manjiang couldn't hear the voice over there, but he knew that the probability of saving Xu Yi was very low.
So low that there is only the last trace left.
However, he has always had good luck and hopefully...... This time too.
