The sudden severe pain almost completely shattered Ning Qiushui's will.

In a trance, he seemed to see a familiar picture.

This picture ...... He had seen it in a painting.

A painting sandwiched to a letter.

The cigarette in Ning Qiushui's mouth fell to the ground, and he propped his hands on the ground, I don't know how long it took before the pain slowly disappeared.

The sharp pain made Ning Qiushui's consciousness scatter, and he wandered into a spirit, and many distant pictures flashed in his mind.

These pictures were familiar and unfamiliar, Ning Qiushui always felt that he had seen them somewhere, but when he thought about it, it was like touching the fluttering clouds and mist, and suddenly dispersed.

Unlike the previous headache, this time it lasted for an exceptionally long time, and when Ning Qiushui's consciousness finally returned, his palms and knees were completely numb.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ning Qiushui stood up.

His mind was full of doubts right now.

But the doubts were finally traced back to the source, when he first encountered the fish monster in the cave, and inhaled the fish monster's "rotten qi" and caused him to fall into a coma.

According to Liu Xiong and Guan He, the headaches he had after that were all caused by "rotten qi".

Moreover, before him, no outsider had ever survived the influence of the Rotten Spirit.

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with such a statement, but when Ning Qiushui looked back on his memories to check it now, he felt more and more that it was wrong.

"Something doesn't seem right......

"Liu Xiong and Guan He are both adamant that all the outsiders affected by the 'rotten qi' are dead, but it is not difficult to see from the previous small talk with Guan He that he and Liu Xiong seem to have a very good relationship...... Whatever news is exchanged between the two people. ”

"It stands to reason that their relationship is neither 'companion' nor 'interest', so why would they cooperate so closely?"

"Not only did they exchange news, but they even happened to send a foreign guest to the depths of the gray mist, which was more like a planned plan than a coincidence......

Ning Qiushui's expression became more serious than ever.

"If two people are indeed working together according to some kind of 'plan', will some common rhetoric be used to 'cover up' something......"

Ning Qiushui had long felt that some 'problem' was hidden behind the 'normal' rhetoric, but he couldn't find it.

The other party covered it up too well.

"Wait...... At that time, the only fish in the cave were Liu Xiong and Guan He, but because Liu Xiong had already "eaten Dr. Liu's corpse", strictly speaking, he was not considered a fish, Guan He said. As long as Liu Xiong is conscious, he is a human being. ”

"There were no footsteps behind me at the time, it must be a fish chasing me, if you want the situation to be controllable, the person who chased me at that time could only be Guan He, but from the follow-up exchanges, Guan He obviously didn't really want to kill me, so that chase ...... In fact, it is a drama that has been arranged a long time ago! ”

"Liu Xiong took Wang Huan away, Guan He chased me and killed me, and let me fall into a coma!"

The more Ning Qiushui thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Who is planning all this?

Crazy...... But shouldn't this be Rashomon's home turf?

A madman is doing something here, Rashomon won't allow it easily, right?

At the very least, they should do something about it?

However, Ning Qiushui didn't think much about the entanglement between the madman and Rashomon, that was not something he should consider now.

"Let me meet Liu Xiong directly, and it is perfectly fine for him to reveal these facts to me, and skipping the process of 'making me unconscious through rotten qi' doesn't seem to have any impact on their plans...... Unless, there is something else to the process......"

Ning Qiushui finally felt as if he had dug up the 'abnormality' that was hidden under normal!

"Both have emphasized that the other outsiders who have smelled the rot are dead, and I am the only exception...... In other words, are they suggesting to me that I must have survived for some "other reason"? ”

"At that time, the 'other reason' that caught my attention the most was of course the bronze leaf that disappeared!"

Thoughts snaggled to this place, and Ning Qiushui's body became stiff.

Because, he thought of a possibility - the bronze leaves may not be used to replace death.

The three bronze leaves he had brought in from outside...... It has other effects!

"Those three leaves are not for the ...... of death"

"What the hell are they for?"

Ning Qiushui couldn't figure it out, he took a deep breath and continued to walk towards the depths of the giant's throat.

This road was longer than he imagined, and Ning Qiushui took out the strong flashlight given by Wang Huan and kept moving forward.

The rotting flesh around them became more and more disgusting in the process, and the road beneath their feet became more and more muddy.

I don't know how long later, a faint light appeared in front of the road.

Ning Qiushui walked towards the glimmer step by step, and when he completely penetrated this rare glimmer, he found that at the end of the corridor was a huge cemetery, and inside was a corpse that had not completely decomposed.

The relatively well-preserved corpses are all here.

There are many corpses in the cemetery, but they seem to have been deliberately arranged and laid out in the corners of the cemetery to make room for the middle passing.

And the glimmer of light that Ning Qiushui saw was a lamp hanging in the middle of the cemetery.

Ning Qiushui saw that occasionally fireflies like stars would overflow from the corpses that had not completely decomposed, and then gather little by little on the lamp hanging in the middle of the cemetery.

For some reason, although it was full of corpses, the area where the lights lit up was filled with an unusual peace.

Crunch –

Ning Qiushui walked towards the street lamp, as if he had stepped on some kind of hard object under his feet.

He subconsciously looked down and saw that it was half a "copper coin" that had been completely rusted and broken.

Ning Qiushui squatted down, picked up the copper coin, looked at it carefully, and his face changed slightly.

The workmanship of this copper coin is almost exactly the same as the one given to him by the madman before.

"It's ...... Copper coins for madmen? ”

"He's been here?"

Just as Ning Qiushui was carefully looking at the copper coin, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him:

"As agreed, you should have come earlier...... But it's just right to get here now. ”

Ning Qiushui turned around, and after seeing the person behind him clearly, his pupils condensed slightly.
