The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 173: Strange Things in the Theater (21)

Mu Hanxing was stunned and stopped immediately. He quickly stopped Gong Yu and Su Miaoying beside him and said to the people behind him, "Stop!"

At that moment just now, there was a tavern in front of her. There was only a lamp at the door of the tavern. The light flickered and suddenly went out. The light source disappeared unexpectedly. Fortunately, she reacted in time and took back her foot in time. Otherwise, if the light went out at the moment she stepped into the dark place, it would be too late!

She stood there, sweat dripping down her back. Although she had the body of an immortal, her soul was still that of a mortal. This feeling of being on the line between life and death, where one wrong step would lead to eternal damnation, just flashed through her mind, making her feel scared and her heart pounding.

This thing is too much of a test of one's mental quality. Anyone who is a little timid would probably be scared to death by themselves, not to mention that they have already seen in advance how people who violate the rules die... having their limbs chopped off and falling in a pool of blood...

I can't think about it anymore! She quickly calmed down.

"City Lord, let's change people. The first one is too dangerous." Jing Chen frowned and said solemnly.

At this moment, the people behind also reacted. The journey from Ziyun Inn to the stage was not as simple as just walking to the light source. Obstacles and resistance could be triggered at any time, and no one knew at which point they would die.

As the city lord and the current leader, there was no reason for her to let others walk in front as pioneers. However, she suddenly thought of one thing. Jingchen could teleport, which was his own unique skill. Maybe it was suitable for dealing with the current situation.

After weighing the pros and cons, she turned back and said, "Okay, if the lights go out suddenly, remember to teleport away from the dark place."

"Okay." Jingchen said, walking in front of her.

"Then what should I do!?" Guangsheng widened his eyes. As soon as Jingchen left, his legs began to tremble.

Gong Yu also felt annoyed when he saw this man. There was no one in this group of people that didn't annoy him, except the city lord.

He said, "I will watch you, and if you are stuck, I will carry you on my back."

"Okay." Guangsheng quickly moved to Gong Yu's side.

A group of people continued to move forward, with Jingchen leading the way. From just now on, the light source in front of them would suddenly go out without any warning, and the middle section of the road would suddenly become a "death trap", tempting people to break the rules.

As expected, the lights suddenly went out halfway through the journey. Jingchen had already taken half a step forward, but he moved to the next light source in a flash. The people behind him subconsciously stopped when they saw his figure suddenly disappear. This was a good warning and saved everyone.

Jingchen jumped onto the nearby building a little distance away from the main group, and stood on the high place to look at the stage in the center of the city. It seemed that they still had some distance to move, and they couldn't move people in the air. The sky was currently pitch black, without any light, and there was no starlight or moonlight in the city itself.

He looked at the stage again and found that the cloth covering the stage was slowly disappearing. As expected, shadow plays were only performed at night.

"The lights on the stage are on. There's a play going on tonight." Jingchen said in front.

Everyone looked up and followed his gaze, but there were layers of buildings stacked up in front of them, and they couldn't see the city center clearly at all.

"I saw the guard!" Chuntao looked forward and finally saw a man holding a spear besides the wandering "civilians".

Chuntao pointed forward and saw the man holding the spear was guarding the door of an official residence. The building looked like the residence of some noble family, but the range of the light source nearby was not large, and it was a little far from where the guards could get close. She didn't know if the guards could hear her shouting from a distance.

"But I can't see clearly the color of that person's belt. I'll try to find a magic weapon." Chuntao said as she began to rummage through the things on her body.

"No need, I'll do it." Feng Xiao held a phoenix feather between his fingers, with a little spiritual fire burning on it.

Then, the feather with light flew smoothly into the distance, stayed above the guard's head for a moment, and then dissipated with the wind. In that brief moment, everyone could see the color of the guard's belt, which was black.

The moment Lin Yifeng saw the black belt clearly, a sense of fear inexplicably struck his heart. The scene of his junior brother being dismembered in the morning suddenly emerged in his mind. For a moment, grief and anger rushed to his heart again, and he turned his head and vomited.

"Ugh...cough cough!" He covered his chest and vomited in unbearable pain.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Chuntao hurried over to check on his condition.

Cui Ren looked at Lin Yifeng without saying anything, turned his head away indifferently, and no longer looked at him.

Jingchen heard the noise behind him and turned to look at the crowd. This sight shocked him instantly. He saw a hanging lamp on the eaves above their heads flickering... The light was about to go out!

"Get out of there quickly! Go to the nearest light source!" Jingchen shouted at the crowd from a distance.

Mu Hanxing trusted him very much at the critical moment. She didn't have time to confirm the current situation. After hearing his voice, she immediately grabbed the two people at hand and quickly found the nearest light source. She jumped up with the two of them and landed safely under an oil lamp hanging on a nearby stable.

After landing safely, she quickly turned around to look at the others. Feng Xiao arrived at her side in time with the fortune teller on his back. Chun Tao had been following behind her and was fully able to protect herself, and she quickly came over.

As for the others, after Cui Ren heard Jing Chen's voice, he saw that Lin Yifeng seemed to be about to faint from vomiting and could not pay attention to any sound at all. In a hurry, he had to drag Lin Yifeng, who had betrayed his master, and escape in time, and fell under a light source not far away.

At this moment, Mu Hanxing was shocked and took a look at the two people she had captured. They were Su Miaoying and Gong Yu... Oh no... Guangsheng!

Guangsheng was standing alone under the dying light, looking pale and shaking all over. He couldn't even remember how to lift his feet. His eyes were wide open, and his heart was completely filled with fear. He completely lost the ability to think and hear. Jingchen's voice was still ringing in his ears: "Hold the whip! Come here quickly!"

Seeing that Guangsheng was unable to walk on his own, Jingchen promptly extended the Golden Spirit Whip to him, wanting to take him away quickly. However, Guangsheng could not hear at all, and the terror paralyzed all his senses.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes widened, and he stared blankly at the flickering light above his head. He was dazed by the light and couldn't see anything clearly. There was a white and nothingness in front of his eyes. The solid objects turned into countless overlapping shadows, making it impossible to tell what they were.

Just as he slowly reached forward and tried to grab a whip-like object in front of him, the light above his head went out with a snap.

……

Everyone's breath froze.

……

Guangsheng disappeared into the darkness.
