Volume 2 Time Passes Chapter 132 The Last Game (12)
"Well, I know that!" While Su Lin responded, he secretly wondered in his heart, no wonder Cheng Jinghui needed to marry every year, but he was assimilated by the lizard monster and failed, so he thought of a way to suppress the assimilation?
It's just that this method can really work, or is the current Cheng Jinghui still the original Cheng Jinghui?
He quietly condensed the origin power of "Doctor Xunmu" into his eyes, and under his vision, Cheng Jinghui's entire body exuded a slightly black light, and his vitality was extremely vigorous, which was very different from the condition of the toothless old man before.
Sure enough, there was a problem! He quietly connected with the sea of knowledge, and contained the power of white flames and thunderwood in the palm of his hand. Once it finds any trouble, it will quickly attack, but his face still says quietly:
"Hui'er, the suffering you have suffered over the years is also in your father's heart, but it is not a way to always kidnap women like this, and this matter has been spread to Jingshi, if I didn't use some means to suppress it, do you think you can really enjoy it freely in this town?"
Cheng Jinghui also quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Su Lin's words and saw that he didn't suspect himself, but his face still pretended to be angry: "Dad, do you think that I really kidnapped women just for my own enjoyment!" ”
As he spoke, he abruptly tore open the placket on his chest and exposed his arm in front of Su Lin, the dry black skin on it that resembled tree bark spread from his arm to his chest, and then from his chest to his neck, and even Cheng Jinghui's cheeks were covered with dense black lines.
"Every night, I am tortured to death by these inexplicable bark-like things, don't I want to live like a normal person, don't I want to live in the sun like everyone else.
Why, why did I pick up that thing and say either put that ring on the bride and kill the bride, or put it on myself...... If I hadn't been protecting those brides, how could I have ended up like this! ”
He roared hoarsely, but in Su Lin's opinion, maybe it was just that when he picked up the iron ring, he didn't care about the hint on the iron ring, otherwise with the huge size of the Cheng Mansion, he would just marry a maid and put the iron ring on her.
Su Lin never believed that Cheng Jinghui, who was now full of gloomy temperament, would be a person full of benevolence at that time.
He paced in the main hall, his eyes poked out the window again, and his face showed a look of regret but embarrassment: "Hui'er, I've suffered you all these years. ”
Su Lin intended to pat the other party's shoulder to show reassurance, but when he saw the other party's vigilant eyes, he raised his hand and put it down again, and just said, "Take me to see the bride, you have to take care of his family, don't make any more trouble." ”
Seeing that Cheng Yanjin's tone played by Su Lin had loosened a little, Cheng Jinghui was also relieved: "Dad, don't worry, I have already taken care of these things, and I will never cause you trouble." Besides, after tonight, maybe there won't be such a hassle in the future. ”
Cheng Jinghui just said simply, as for why there is no need to be so troublesome in the future, Su Lin wanted to know, but the other party did not mean to communicate in depth.
And when Su Lin asked again, Cheng Jinghui's eyes suddenly became vigilant.
In order to avoid revealing flaws, he had to suppress the doubts in his heart and followed Cheng Jinghui towards the bride's room.
According to local customs, on the night before the wedding, the father-in-law must not be able to see the bride, but for some reason, Cheng Jinghui agreed to his request in a daze.
Maybe in his opinion, he is just looking at what the bride looks like, maybe when he sees her, he pities her even more, it is nothing more than a little more compassion.
And if he didn't show Su Lin, if there were any contradictions again, it would be even more detrimental to his future devouring plan.
But in Su Lin's opinion, it seems that Cheng Jinghui doesn't know much about human customs, and he just deceived him just now, but he didn't want him to agree.
So, the two of them walked through several corridors in succession, led by several maids, through the lotus pond in the house, and then appeared in front of a deep and lonely room full of silk.
He looked around, waved his hand and dismissed the maid beside him, and then said to Su Lin:
"Dad, this is the room of the second daughter of the Wang family, and it is a coincidence that the eldest daughter who sold cooking cakes also married in this room.
"And what's even more coincidental is that the birthdays of these two daughters were actually born in the lunar month, if they hadn't devoured it...... If my eldest daughter hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known what was going on. ”
Cheng Jinghui suddenly felt that he would lose too many words, and the words he was about to say stopped at the edge of his mouth and did not come back.
"Okay, this is indeed your chance, since you have married her daughter, you must settle the old man in her family."
Su Lin's heart darkened, the fate of the two sisters was so miserable, he didn't know if he had the ability to change it.
"Don't worry, you've said it twice tonight, and I'll take care of that old man." A wicked smile flashed at the corner of Cheng Jinghui's mouth.
"Really? When people are old, they are confused, and even compassion is greatly developed, after all, it is not the appearance of thousands of people when they were young. ”
Su Lin also said that he had made a flaw, and hurriedly made a round, and then said: "Let's go, Hui'er, come with me to meet the bride." ”
"Okay, Dad, please first." For some reason, in Su Lin's spiritual power, he faintly sensed that the other party's body seemed to be deliberately retreating, and made a defensive posture.
"Could there be any accidents in the house?" After seeing Cheng Jinghui's appearance, he also released his mental power in advance to prepare for possible dangers at any time.
He originally intended to let Cheng Jinghui go first, because after all, today is her marriage, even as his father, he can enter his room directly without the guidance of the groom, which seems unreasonable.
But after being frozen for a long time, and the other party didn't mean to take a step, Su Lin directly pushed open the door and walked in.
As he entered, he felt a slight resistance to the frame, but as he pushed it forward, it was easy to push in.
After entering, Su Lin saw Cheng Jinghui's steps also follow, but after waiting for a while, there was no sign of others entering, but the door that was originally pushed open by Su Lin suddenly closed.
After noticing that something was wrong, Su Lin immediately returned to the door and wanted to push the door out, but the resistance that had vaguely appeared before reappeared, and the force increased dozens of times more than before.
At the same time as his body landed, he vaguely heard Cheng Jinghui's voice: "Dad, I can't accompany you in for some reasons, you just have to play in it for a while, and I'll let you out after the time is over." ”
"Cheng Jinghui, you are presumptuous, you dare to play with your Lao Tzu." Su Lin shouted out the window a few times, but the other party did not respond.
Could it be that it was a previous step that made him suspicious, so he was locked up here?
Su Lin thought about it carefully, but found that there seemed to be nothing else to lose except for saying a few more words to Old Man Wang.
And from beginning to end, Cheng Jinghui seemed to be in awe of himself, and he didn't see any signs of mistakes.
Just now he said that he let himself out after the child? Could it be that he took advantage of this time to devour Old Man Wang's second daughter?
While thinking about it, Su Lin looked at the nearby doors and windows, and pushed it out hard, but there was no sign of pushing it open.
After about fifty breaths, he gave up the idea of escaping through the doors and windows, and instead looked at the other furnishings in the house, perhaps there was a secret compartment or a secret room for him to escape.
When the curtain was lifted, the first thing that caught my eye was a vanity mirror with a wooden comb, shoes, hairpins, a chest tie and a pink handkerchief lying quietly on the table in front of the mirror.
Su Lin slowly walked to the table, picked up the white chest strap and wiped it slightly against the hazy mirror, and suddenly a woman's figure slowly appeared on the hazy mirror.
He was startled, and when he quickly turned his head to look behind him, there was no one behind him, and a cool swishing sensation came straight from his back.
Immediately after the mirror he wiped, the faint water vapor slowly condensed on it, and Su Lin lightly scratched it with his finger a few times, and the red figure reappeared.
He looked around with his mental powers, and found no sign of any life other than him in the surrounding rooms.
"How so, is it trapped in a separate space? Or is someone hiding in it? ”
There are two explanations for the scene he saw in the mirror just now, one is that the instructor let him know the current situation of the bride through the mirror.
The other is that the bride is hiding in a mirror or somewhere in the room, but he can't find out because of the rules of the game.
He touched the collar in his cuff, and couldn't help but recall the words that came to mind when he first touched the collar or hoop:
[Congratulations to the player for finding the bride-to-be's collar, at this moment the bride is being locked in a secret room by the owner of the Cheng Mansion due to the loss of the collar, waiting anxiously for the lost collar......]
When I first entered this world, the task issued by the instructor was:
[Please find the collar worn by the bride within two days and roll it for a week.] 】
The bride appeared in the town for the first time and passed by him, but he didn't have a hoop to complete the task.
At this moment, Su Lin found the iron ring and successfully entered the Cheng Mansion, he was trapped in a house, and the bride was missing.
Previously, when the iron ring was touched, it prompted that the bride was being locked in a secret room, which can be understood as the guide or Cheng Jinghui hiding the bride.
But the latter's hiding of the bride does not seem to be very likely, according to Su Lin's analysis, it is more likely that he, like himself, will not find the bride's hiding place when he has no children.
Cheng Jinghui had mentioned this time to himself many times before, and even Tiehuan and the toothless old man had also mentioned this time, presumably before this, they should have been restricted by some kind of rules.
And after the second day, it is the next day, which is why he will be given two days to break through, but in fact, it is only one day.
But this restriction creates conditions for himself to break through and find the trace of the bride before the child, and once the real childtime comes, it means that his breakthrough is over.
"We have to find the person in the mirror as soon as possible." He looked out the window at the sky, and there was still a little more than an hour to go.
