Chapter 377: [Soul Return] There is one more person
When Ning Qiushui mentioned that it was related to the decay of their bodies, he clearly saw the expression on Hong Yu's face change.
It was a mixture of nervousness and fear.
He knew that the fish had taken the bait.
Even more terrible than death is the process of waiting for death.
Now, Hong Yu, who sees himself rotting a little bit but has nothing to do, is waiting for death.
"Is that true?"
Ning Qiushui looked at her:
"Seriously."
"And you should be able to see that I'm not the person you're looking for."
Ning Qiushui saw that the fish had been hooked, so he led the line to a deeper place.
During this period, he has been carefully observing Hong Yu's micro-expressions.
Hong Yu stared at Ning Qiushui directly, how terrible his eyes looked.
"Okay, I'll tell you where the heart is."
"After we found the heart in the hospital, we divided it into two batches for safekeeping, and one of them was transferred to the hotel, as for which hotel, as long as you have a little brain, you will know if you go and check it."
"However, you'd better be accurate when you start, if you don't succeed once, and then there is a second and third time, not only will the difficulty increase, but Chu Zhu and they will also suspect that there is an internal ghost in the team!"
"At that time, it would be very dangerous for me to release the news to you again, and I would get into trouble if I didn't do it!"
Ning Qiushui smiled slightly.
"Don't worry."
"I'm not going to startle the snake, at most I'll go to the nearby stepping spot first, and then I'll start when I think I'm sure."
Hong Yu walked towards Ning Qiushui step by step, and stood about five steps away from Ning Qiushui and stopped, at this distance, Ning Qiushui could not only clearly hear Hong Yu's heavy and rapid breathing, but also smell the rich stench from the other party's mouth and nose.
"Now, tell me...... How the hell can the rot on my body be good?! β
Ning Qiushui took a puff of his cigarette without hurrying.
"I didn't say I'd tell you 'how to treat rot,' I just said I'd tell you something important about rot."
The two looked at each other through the curling smoke.
ββ¦β¦ Go back to three days ago, when you first came to Twilight Town, but the place where you were 'born' was remote and there weren't many people around, so you quickly noticed an old man named Chenβ"
As Ning Qiushui narrated about the tricksters' previous experiences, Hong Yu used the change in her expression to tell Ning Qiushui that he had guessed correctly.
The corners of Hong Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and there was surprise and speculation in his eyes.
"You were ...... Also present? β
Ning Qiushui shook his head.
"No, I'm not there."
"Then you ......"
"I guess."
After a short conversation, Hong Yu felt his body stiffen slightly.
Guess?
The NpC in front of them restored what happened to them three days ago just by "guessing"?
"Impossible......"
Hong Yu forced a smile.
"You must have been there, just like you were in the hospital!"
Ning Qiushui shook his hand to make the smoke spread more evenly in the air.
"Miss, have you ever heard an old saying - being smart is mistaken by being smart."
"You think the 'natives' of this world are stupid, so you just think of them as a ...... NpCοΌ β
"I'm going to tell you that we met in the Garden of Eden two nights ago, and I think you must have noticed the elevator on the first floor, and the number 12 on it......"
Hearing this, Hong Yu's body shook violently and took half a step back.
"You ......"
Ning Qiushui smiled.
"That's right, I did it on purpose."
"I'm not telling you this to show you how smart I am, but I'm trying to tell you...... How stupid you are. β
"Now, let's go back to three days ago - I don't know what that old man named Chen told you, but I think you all think he's an important NpC in the town, so talk to him and try to get some very important information out of his mouth."
"I don't know if you noticed it when you talked to him...... He's dying. β
"As the saying goes, man is dying, and his words are good, and in the course of the conversation, he may reveal something that makes you start to trust him, and then he gives a reason that you cannot refuse, so that you start killing people according to what he says."
The more he spoke, the paler Hong Yu's face became, and the more shocked his expression became.
"It's easy for an old man who is about to die, weather-beaten, and indisputable to the world, right?"
"Actually, it's not just you who have been fooled, I'm too."
"The only thing that is different from you is ...... I don't have a choice. β
"Speaking of which, I'm still quite curious, what did Elder Chen tell you to make you kill so many people at once?"
Hong Yu recalled the events of that day and slowly clenched his fists.
It all started because of this old man.
If it weren't for him, they wouldn't be where they are now.
"He told us that there was a way to quickly find the 'pot' ......"
Hong Yu's mind was already filled with angry emotions, and he subconsciously said this sentence.
Ning Qiushui squinted.
"The 'pot' needs the heart, and you need the 'pot', right?"
Hong Yu stopped and didn't continue to talk about this matter.
She no longer dares to show off her cleverness, and gradually appreciates the horror of this NpC in front of her, saying a word more, it is likely that the other party will be able to restore a lot of things, and the other party now doesn't know whether he is friend or foe, and it is definitely not a good thing to expose himself too much in advance.
"So you mean, the reason why our bodies rot is because of this man called Old Man?"
Ning Qiushui:
"There's no problem with you understanding that."
Chen Lao is indeed the direct cause in this ring.
But not the root cause.
"Then we just need to find this old man...... Can you stop the decay of the body? β
Hong Yu's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Ning Qiushui did not give an affirmative answer:
"It's possible."
"That's all I can tell you."
Hong Yu nodded.
"Okay, I see."
She turned to leave, and after a few steps, Ning Qiushui stopped her again:
"By the way, when you saw Old Chen that night, did you see Sun Falcon?"
Hong Yu turned his head, his face was stunned:
"Sun Falcon?"
"Who's that?"
Ning Qiushui was silent for a while and shook his head.
"That's probably what I'm thinking about, so let's go...... Let's go. β
Hong Yu's eyes flickered a few times, wanting to ask something, but he still turned around and left.
After seeing her leave, Ning Qiushui stepped on the cigarette butt and said in a voice that could almost only be heard by herself:
"One more person......
