"Don't tilt your head."

Qi Tianhe saw the hope of leaving, Liu Tianming suddenly repeated in a low voice: "Don't tilt your head."

ha?

As soon as he spoke, Qi Tianhe instinctively turned to the left, with a face tilted outside and staring at him... The mayor's wife's eyelids drooped, and only a slit of long eyes could be seen narrowed: "Here are two little mouse."

The mayor said coldly, "Really?"

After finishing the speech, he went out. Qi Tianhe thought he was going to close the door to prevent himself and Liu Tianming from running away, but the other party did even worse. When he came back, he suddenly got down on the ground. Qi Tianhe vaguely saw the mayor holding a a long knife.

... He finally understood what the legendary 40-meter broadsword is.

The mayor pushed the reading glasses that fell off the bridge of his nose, and smiled slowly: "So it's you!"

The tone seems to be full of old and new hatred.

He turned the knife sideways, held it with both hands and was about to sweep it forcefully, Qi Tianhe's throat moved, and with the knife, a layer of flesh was gone.It is not good to hide in a cramped space. Once exposed, there is no room for turning over.

The mayor was very pleased and waved his long knife, but at this moment, the bed was suddenly pushed up.Liu Tianming exerted force with his hands again, and the whole bed was turned over.

The sound of cracking planks and flying dust instantly filled the room.

Not to mention Qi Tianhe, even the mayor froze because of surprise.

The bed is very big, made of high-quality solid wood, weighing more than 100 kilograms.From this angle, it is impossible to overthrow it so easily even with natural strange power.

Liu Tianming stood up from the ground, glanced at Qi Tianhe and reminded: "Vampire."

Qi Tianhe frowned when he heard the words, almost forgetting that Liu Tianming had received the vampire physique gifted by the Earl.

After three seconds of pleasure, Liu Tianming continued to kindly remind: "Speed ​​is also what vampires are good at."

Qi Tianhe smiled slightly.

...So the opponent is destined to run faster than you?

The mayor had already regained his senses, and he picked up the long knife and slashed at them frantically. Qi Tianhe felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him. When he looked again, Liu Tianming had already appeared at the gate, and he was less than a distance away from the long knife. rice.

Liu Tianming was going to meet him at the door, but the sound of chasing and running came from the house, and the sound gradually disappeared after 1 minute.

"Where is Qi Tianhe?"

A chilly voice came from behind, Liu Tianming turned his head, and Bai Chan stood motionless under the tree at the door.The scorching sun shone on him without leaving any trace of sunburn.

"I don't know." Liu Tianming said bluntly, "He didn't run out."

There was almost no worry in his tone, Liu Tianming did not think that Qi Tianhe would die at the hands of the mayor and his wife, judging from the last chaotic footsteps, he probably chose to escape upstairs.

This is very interesting, as long as you don't leave the house, you will be caught up sooner or later.

But Qi Tianhe did it without hesitation.

After hearing this, Bai Chan was silent for a while, and went to lean against a big tree, as if waiting for someone to come out.

Liu Tianming could somewhat feel that the relationship between the two parties was very close, especially when Bai Chan spoke just now with the intention of provoking a teacher, but now he didn't rush in to save people.

"Aren't you going in to have a look?" he asked.

Bai Chan shook her head: "No, Qi Tianhe went to the hidden room."

……

When he came up earlier, it was the man in bandage who opened the door from the inside. Qi Tianhe memorized the approximate location. When he rushed over, he slammed half of his body upwards. The door was heavy and half opened slowly.

It didn't close tightly, and Qi Tianhe didn't deliberately push it again.

This is a very ordinary door, which can be pushed open from inside and outside, and can't stop anyone who wants to come in.It was a bit of luck for him to choose this place. It is very strange that the mayor and his wife would burn incense against the empty wall but not come in. The explanation is that they dare not come in.

While Qi Tianhe calmed down the panting caused by the violent running, his eyes were fixed on the wall. Although he felt that his judgment was correct, he was still a little nervous.The windows behind him had been welded and filled up long ago. If there was an accident, there was not even an escape hatch.

1 minute, 2 minutes... almost 5 minutes passed, and the whole room could only hear his own breathing.

Confirming that the mayor and his wife will not come in in a short time, Qi Tianhe summoned a corpse dog to guard him, and sat alone at the children's table thinking about the problem.

According to the man in the bandage, the child was sealed, and the person who sealed him was likely to be his biological parents, but the relationship between the two parties is not absolutely suppressed and suppressed.When going back in time for the second time, the mayor and his wife were taken to the children and died quite simply.

There are stored dishes and food in the cellar, which shows that the two people usually go there.

Qi Tianhe lowered his head, his eyelashes fluttered from time to time, and wrote down his guess on the paper: The child in the night is very capable, and has a chance to kill the mayor and his wife; killing these two people will not escape the torment.

The second is no longer a guess, but a certainty, otherwise when the mayor and his wife are killed, the line of the child should be over.

"The sins of the wicked are still alive, and innocent souls are suffering."

The latter sentence undoubtedly refers to the child, but does the previous sentence really refer to the mayor and his wife?

It was the first time Qi Tianhe had this kind of suspicion, and every time they came into contact, the couple played the role of absolute villains.Before Believable Bird gave the reminder, Bai Chan accidentally killed the mayor and his wife once, but it turned out that time went back.

If Xinniao's wish is to kill the mayor and his wife, it will be against Yu Yu's will.

Puzzled, he rubbed the corpse dog's head a little irritably. The slightly stiff hair was very uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but compare it: "The parrot is still comfortable to rub."

The corpse dog groaned twice, shook his head, and walked to the other side.

Qi Tianhe sighed slightly, and didn't continue to call it over.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the diary...it was all right anyway, so he took it and flipped through it again, and quickly read half of the diary again.

This time, Qi Tianhe seemed to have discovered something. He was silent for a while, and then read the paragraph where Xinniao appeared several times back and forth, and vaguely understood the "evil person" Xinniao was referring to. '

After knowing it well, Qi Tianhe stood up and began to consider the issue of leaving, trying to find the source of the mayor and his wife's fear in the room.

Not to mention rummaging through boxes and cabinets by himself, he also greeted the corpse dog together: "Just now you smelled that smell by the cellar water tank, help me find out if it is here."

Although he was disgusted before, his instinct still made the corpse dog work hard and sniff around.Suddenly it turned around and called to Qi Tianhe.

When Qi Tianhe walked over, there were some unwashed dirty clothes, and one of the sleeves was stained with dirt. When Qi Tianhe took it out, something fell out.He caught it quickly with quick eyesight, and his wrist hurt from the smash.

Directly ignoring the pain, Qi Tianhe observed what was in his hands... This is a long-life lock, it seems that the owner took it off and put it aside when changing clothes. He had seen a few children wearing it in the town before. But not so expensive.

The sterling silver is very heavy, and it is a bit heavy to hold. The longevity lock is tied with a red string, because the color has become dark red and black because of the age.There are three small bells hanging at the bottom, and the sound of the bells can last for a long time with a slight shake.

Other than that, the corpse dog found nothing else, and Qi Tianhe searched carefully again, but found nothing more special.He hung the longevity lock around his neck for the time being, hesitated when he was about to go out, and finally turned around and took the diary.

At this time, it has been a long time since Qi Tianhe came in. He didn't know whether the mayor and his wife would guard the door, and they couldn't hear anything through a thick wall. cut in.

The corpse dog let out a low growl, and the mayor was shocked.

Qi Tianhe shook the Longevity Lock on purpose, and as soon as the tinkling sound rang, the mayor took a few steps back in shock.

it works.

Qi Tianhe's eyes lit up, and he tried to take a small step outside. The mayor was so angry that his hands trembled, he raised the long knife a few times, but put it down gently.

Seeing this, Qi Tianhe held his breath and walked out completely. When the door behind him slowly closed, he knew that there was absolutely no room for maneuver.At such a close distance, if the mayor waved his hand, his head would fall to the ground on the spot.

The journey of just a few seconds seemed to have gone through a long movie replay. Qi Tianhe carefully walked around the mayor, never giving up observing the other's micro-expression, until the moment he reached the stairs, he was completely relieved Come.

There was still a mayor's wife guarding the door downstairs, and the sound of the bell gradually weakened, and Qi Tianhe shook in time.

The eyes of the mayor's wife were even more terrifying than the mayor's. It looked like she was going to dig a few holes in the person's body. She only held an iron rod in her hand, which was a little weaker than the long knife's attack power.Qi Tianhe swaggered down with the corpse dog, and the two paper tigers were more arrogant than the other.

"Please give way." Qi Tianhe pointed to the door, indicating that he wanted to go out.

The mayor's wife was indifferent. When Qi Tianhe approached, the Longevity Lock was about to hit him, so she stepped back quickly.

The door opened, and Qi Tianhe's hand was still on the doorknob, turning his head and sneering: "Longevity lock is a gift from the elders to the children, which means peace, but now you are avoiding it like a tiger. It's really ironic."

After going out, he shook the bell again, but he didn't hear any difference. He didn't understand why the mayor and his wife were afraid of this thing.

"It brings back the remaining humanity." Under the big tree, someone lazily opened his eyelids and looked.

Qi Tianhe walked over and heard Baichan's complaint: "It's really troublesome to pass the copy, and it affects sleep."

Qi Tianhe focused on the sentence he just said, and extracted the key words: "Human nature?"

"You don't think this is what they really are?" Although Bai Chan looked down on the mayor and his wife, she was to the point: "The mayor is not a good person. He can be so evil that he is out of his half-human, half-ghost state." Don't get involved."

Qi Tianhe remembered that the man in the bandage had reminded himself that when a person becomes a ghost, his personality will undergo a huge change.

Without lamenting too much, he quickly shared the new discovery with Bai Chan. First, he said that the mayor and his wife became like this because they ate bird meat, and then opened the diary: "Look at this passage... Dad said That's Xinniao, the mountain god who came to save us, so it can be seen that the mayor's attitude towards Xinniao is quite respectful at this time."

It's only been a month since the transition from respect to hunting.

"The mayor mentioned in the conversation that eating letter bird meat is from the book," Qi Tianhe looked at Bai Chan: "So someone gave him this book during this time."

After speaking, she found that Bai Chan had been staring at her, thinking that there was something dirty on her face, she couldn't help rubbing her face, but her eyes still didn't move away.

"Looking at what?" he asked.

Bai Chan's expression was slightly melancholy: "I will have less and less effect on you in the future."

The opponent no longer showed the resistance and innocence when facing the game at the beginning, and Qi Tianhe's growth rate in the dungeon exceeded his imagination.

"What works and doesn't work, we will fight side by side in the future." Qi Tianhe didn't want to say it.

Bai Chan was stunned for a moment, then lost his mind a bit: "I think it's complicated."

Qi Tianhe seldom hurts the spring and autumn, and only cares about the present. How to pass the customs is his primary concern now: "Do you remember what the owner of the bookstore looks like?"

Bai Chan shook her head.

"I can't remember clearly, I don't even remember whether I wore glasses." Qi Tianhe said.

He has an almost photographic memory, which is unusual.

The two walked in the direction of the bookstore, when it was already dark, Baichan said on the way, ""Folk Stories of Curious Hunting" is in the hands of the bookstore owner."

Qi Tianhe: "But listen to the mayor, the book is with him."

Bai Chan shook her head: "The real good things must be kept for themselves. The mayor should get the altered version."

After thinking about it, Qi Tianhe realized that the book itself should be a strange book. If the mayor got the real "Folk Stories of Strange Hunting", he should have become a mountain god after eating the meat of the bird for so many years.

There was a light in front, and the shops on both sides of the street had all closed their doors more than a week ago. This light was very conspicuous in the night.

Qi Tianhe felt the surrounding temperature, which was much lower than other places.

"Go straight in?"

The door of the bookstore is ajar.

Bai Chan nodded: "Go straight in."

He pushed open the door without any scruples, as if he was sure that there was no danger for the time being. The bookstore owner was still submissive: "Are you still reading at this late?"

Bai Chan: "A good book makes people can't wait."

The boss agrees with this sentence, and invites them to come in: "Choose whatever you want, there's not much business recently, and if you like it, you can get a discount."

Bai Chan pretended to walk around the bookshelf, and asked, "How much discount is there for "Folk Tales of Strange Hunting"?"

The boss's eyes instantly became sharp.

Bai Chan turned around and asked again.

At this moment, the owner of the bookstore completely lost the enthusiasm he had just seen in his eyes. He sat on the dilapidated stool and began to fill the pen with ink: "This book hasn't been sold yet."

Bai Chan was not polite: "What if I have to?"

The bookstore owner took out a knife from under the cabinet, Bai Chan was not only not afraid, but also showed a playful smile.

The knife was put aside, and anyone could reach it. Unlike the mayor's incompetent rage, the bookstore owner nodded calmly after thinking for a while: "Yes, but let him cut off a wing of the letter bird sculpture in exchange."

When the two of them confronted each other, Qi Tianhe was casually flipping through a book, when he was suddenly called on, he was startled: "Me?"

Bookstore owner: "That's right, it's you."

Qi Tianhe turned his head and asked Bai Chan: "Obviously you beat him up, why did the fire burn on me?"

Bai Chan thought about it seriously, and replied, "Probably because I don't look easy to mess with."

"..."

"Yo! It seems that everyone likes to read at night with the lights on." The door was pushed open, and Zhu Zhaoyu walked in swaggeringly, fanning the wind with the letter bird feathers he got on the first day.

Strangely, Zhu Shuse was not there.

"I finally escaped from the townspeople's house, and my sister is helping me cut off my back." As if seeing his doubts, Zhu Zhaoyu took the initiative to explain: "She asked me to come first and buy a book of novelty stories. "

Qi Tianhe squinted his eyes when he heard the words, seeing Zhu Shuser's strength, and never saw her appear near the mayor's house from the beginning to the end. Obviously, there is another way to break the situation.

The owner of the bookstore pushed the knife forward a little, and repeated the condition tirelessly, that he would exchange for the wings of the letter bird sculpture.

This is almost the death condition on the surface. Because Qi Tianhe and Xinniao stared at each other for too long, he was pulled into the world of the dead and almost never came out, let alone took off his wings.

Who would have thought that Zhu Zhaoyu would take the initiative to pick up the dagger, say hello, and then lay down on the counter to make a condition: "But first tell the story of the mayor's family."

"That was a very boring past," the bookstore owner said with little interest: "I told the mayor that he wanted to eat Xinniao meat, and I told him that there would be thieves to steal Xinniao that night, and I asked him to eat it in advance." Hiding in the cellar, but you can't turn on the lights, and you can use this weapon to stab at the sound of footsteps... Poor child, died at the hands of his own father."

As he spoke, the bookstore owner glanced lightly at the knife on the table.

Zhu Zhaoyu asked in a nonchalant tone: "Why did he listen to you? Also, the mayor didn't come to settle accounts with you for killing his own son by mistake?"

"Do you know how old I am?" The bookstore owner stretched out his hand and made a 'two'.

While Qi Tianhe was surprised: "Two thousand years old?"

The corner of the bookstore owner's mouth twitched: "It's two hundred years old."

Qi Tianhe suddenly felt a little disdainful, and if you take any goblin dungeon, you can find someone who lives longer than him.

Enraged by his contemptuous attitude, the bookstore owner sneered: "People in this town regard me as a god, because I am aging very slowly, and the mayor wants to be like me... That night he wanted to die with me angrily, but I told him that as long as he becomes a mountain god, he can resurrect his son."

What happened later is not a secret. Instead of becoming a mountain god, he became a monster with neither human nor ghost, and even his humanity began to disappear gradually.

The owner of the bookstore seems to like watching scenes of people killing each other, he said to Qi Tianhe: "You are not without chance, the book is in the store... as long as you can find it."

When he said this, his eyes were particularly meaningful.

"It depends on which of you two is faster." The bookstore owner looked optimistic.

Zhu Zhaoyu left with a knife, and Qi Tianhe looked around: "Can you look anywhere?"

The owner of the bookstore gave a vague 'hmm', as if he was not interested in the process of looking for books, and fell asleep on the table with his head buried in his arms.

There are not too many books in the bookstore, but in every corner, you can find one or two books that are randomly placed by customers. The boss said so confidently, as if he believed that it was impossible for him to find it, at least not directly identifiable by the cover alone.

At this time, every minute is precious, but Bai Chan said that she wanted to go out: "I have something to deal with."

Qi Tianhe was reading a book without raising his head: "Eat less."

"..." Bai Chan paused, and finally couldn't help but turn around and emphasize: "It's not stealing."

Only then did Qi Tianhe look up at him: "It's not good to rob halfway."

Baichan had no choice but to say, "I'm not interested in robbing Zhu Zhaoyu either, I just want to ensure that both sides are in a relatively fair environment."

He always likes to hide half of his words, Qi Tianhe has long been used to it, and didn't get to the bottom of it: "Be careful on the road."

The bookstore was still a little bustling just now, but for a moment, only the dozing boss and Qi Tianhe were left.

The book I am reading is already sure that it is not, Qi Tianhe continues to look for the next target, the areas such as tutorial books and magazines are in a mess, the owner of the bookstore does not like to clean up, and there is still a place where people in Yizhen come and go. state.

Places with a lot of people on weekdays were directly ignored, and he continued to pick books mainly in areas that were about to fall to dust.

After reading more than a dozen books in a row, I even found folk ghost stories, but I still haven't seen the shadow of "Folk Tales of Strange Hunting".

As time passed, Qi Tianhe admitted that he had failed to try his luck, and instead tried to take advantage of it.He quietly took out the [Blood Pearl] given by the old woman back then. After wearing it, he could tell the truth of a sentence from an NPC. Unfortunately, the cooling time of the skill was too long, it took two full days.

Originally, Qi Tianhe wanted to use it with Xiao Wu, but unfortunately the other party didn't seem to know much about the secrets. The first retracing also made him pay more attention, worrying that after using it, an accident would lead to retracing.

Once this happens, in the endless eight hours, this skill is estimated to remain in a cooldown state forever.

Walking up to the owner of the bookstore, Qi Tianhe asked in good words: "Is it really hidden among these books on the bookshelf?"

The boss showed one eye and narrowed it displeasedly.

Qi Tianhe deliberately said in a skeptical tone: "I haven't found it after searching for so long, maybe you are lying."

"It can only prove that you have no fate with it." The bookstore owner said coldly: "The book is in the bookstore."

After all, he lay down on his stomach and fell asleep again.

Qi Tianhe went around to the blind spot behind the bookcase, took out the blood pearl, and a progress bar appeared on it, with true written in black on the left and false in white on the right.Interestingly, only 80.00% of the progress bar is black.

In other words, the phrase 'the book is in the bookstore' is full of water, [-]% true and [-]% false.

He made a rough substitution. Most of the book was in the bookstore, and a few pages were not.According to the usual routine of the copy, the missing pages are the most critical.

Finding a cabinet at random to lean against, Qi Tianhe stared at the dozing boss for a long time, his eyes gradually drifting away... The ink bottle next to his elbow seemed to have almost bottomed out, and there were a few crumpled papers in the trash can.He moved his eyes, wanting to take out a ball of waste paper to have a look.

The bookstore owner suddenly opened his eyes vigilantly: "What are you doing?"

Qi Tianhe responded honestly: "Visit garbage."

Kicking the trash can to the other side, the bookstore owner warned: "What you are looking for is not here."

Seeing his attitude, Qi Tianhe strengthened his guess, straightened up and asked with a smile: "Actually, I was very puzzled just now... Since this book has existed for a long time, why didn't it be sold?"

The owner of the bookstore said impatiently: "I've said it and haven't started selling it yet, so don't you understand people's words?"

Qi Tianhe wasn't angry either: "The so-called didn't start selling, there are only a few reasons: the goods didn't arrive; the supply was short of sold out; or...the writing wasn't finished."

After the last word, the atmosphere in the bookstore changed instantly. The original laziness under the light disappeared, and the surrounding scene gradually distorted. The smile of the bookstore owner was blurred. gone?"

Even though it was more than 30 degrees around, Qi Tianhe felt cold.

"Answer me, do you want to watch it?"

The bookstore owner asked questions again and again without giving him a chance to speak.

The lingering sound made people dizzy. Qi Tianhe felt that his condition was getting worse and worse. Before his mind was completely lost, he gritted his teeth and insisted: "I see."

·

Compared with the temperature on the street, the bookstore is an air-conditioned room.

When I was really acting outside, I wanted to turn around and run back.The feathers fanned out hot air, and Zhu Zhaoyu complained all the way as he walked forward, feeling that the soles of his feet were about to be cooked.

When encountering areas with particularly high temperatures, he always chooses to bypass them directly, going back and forth, and making several circles along the way.When I finally stood in front of the letter bird sculpture, four and ten minutes had passed.

"Tsk, what a horrible weather."

Zhu Zhaoyu took out his knife and began to crawl on Xinniao like a reckless man. Halfway through the climb, Liu Tianming suddenly appeared.

"Don't even think about cutting off the beard." Zhu Zhaoyu slowly took out two protective items to buff himself.

Liu Tianming watched him begin to sharpen the knife, and reminded him coldly: "Cut off the wings directly, and you will definitely die."

"Really?" Zhu Zhaoyu asked back, mercilessly aimed at the root of the wing with a knife, and at the same time took out a prop.

It was a straw doll with a strange appearance.

"Qi Tianhe is really smart. I can't figure out what kind of medicine the bookstore owner is selling in the gourd, but he should have gained something by now."

While talking, Zhu Zhaoyu bit his index finger and began to write Qi Tianhe's name on the props for death, with a brilliant abacus.Trigger the death rule and let others bear it, and go back to the business with your wings.

Liu Tianming: "Isn't it a bit rude to do so?"

Zhu Zhaoyu was overjoyed: "If you're not relatives or relatives, what kind of benevolence and righteousness are you talking about?"

Liu Tianming didn't refute this point, he has friendship with Qi Tianhe, so he pays attention to principles, if he betrayed Zhu Zhaoyu, Liu Tianming would definitely not frown.

"I told you that I'm a good sister from the very beginning, but who told him that he doesn't have a good sister!" Zhu Zhaoyu twisted his body twice in a particularly embarrassing way: "Who can blame me for not having enough resources?"

The smile hadn't fully bloomed yet, and suddenly froze.

The muscles on Zhu Zhaohe's face twitched, and he realized that he couldn't write the last character "河" no matter what. His wrist seemed to be imprisoned by a mysterious force and he couldn't move at all.

Seeing that the blood on the fingertips was about to freeze, a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.Once the name is written, it cannot be changed. He must finish writing it as soon as possible, otherwise he will bear the curse from the letter bird alone.

"Move, move for me quickly..." Zhu Zhaoyu desperately moved his wrist, his face flushed from suffocation, but it was of no avail.

Three seconds later, a scorching flame exploded inside the internal organs. Under the severe pain, Zhu Zhaoyu opened his mouth slightly, and fell backward heavily, turning into a pile of burnt ashes before landing.

Liu Tianming quietly witnessed Zhu Zhaoyu's death, and suddenly turned around to look at Bai Chan who was not far away.

Bai Chan said with a blank expression, "If it were me, it would be more violent, and it would be easier for him."

It indirectly indicated that he was ready to make a move, but someone made a move before him.

Liu Tianming seemed to sense something, turned around, and at some point there was a figure below the letter bird... The bandaged man put his hands in his pockets, looked up at the ashes left by Zhu Zhaoyu on his wings, no one could hear him voice said:

"Idiot, he fights his father."

The author has something to say: Qi Tianhe: I can still fight for the birds I raise at home.

Baichan: It's scientific name, it's a parrot.

PS: Regarding the identity of the bandaged man, please refer to the end of Chapter 7, and then contact the end of Chapter 55.
