It's almost like I'm a fairy

The fluttering words drifted away with the wind, leaving nothing behind.

Zhu Shuse didn't know how to sense that his brother was here, and when he rushed over, he only had time to see a pile of black ash blown away.She stood silently for a long time, raised her eyes and glanced at the three of them, and finally fixed on Liu Tianming, who had a deep friendship with Qi Tianhe on the surface.

Liu Tianming didn't bother to explain, he took the blame hard, glanced at the black ash in the sky, and symbolically covered his mouth and nose to avoid inhaling.

"To tell you the truth... your two younger brothers can't support the wall with mud, and if you continue to spend resources on them, there won't be much improvement."

Zhu Shuse seemed to have really listened to the words, and after some careful consideration, he said, "My parents are not at an age suitable for having another child."

"..."

Is this an addiction?

Xinniao's wing was partially cut off by Zhu Zhaoyu, but it recovered quickly. The knife given by the bookstore owner fell to the ground alone, as if waiting for someone to pick it up.

But none of them took any action at the scene, and each of them stood where they were, not knowing what to think.

……

"Do you want to watch it or not?"

"I read."

After the reply of just two words, everything around him changed.

Qi Tianhe is wandering in a bizarre world.

There are more than a dozen kinds of animals flying in the sky that he has never seen before. Even in the drawing stories, he would not have such a magnificent imagination.There is a thatched hut in front of it, and the shadow of a woman sewing clothes can be seen on the paper window. Qi Tianhe trotted over to knock on the door, never thinking that the door would open with a light touch.

The woman inside the door is wearing a bun, heavy makeup, and clothes from an unknown era, and she is cutting a thin piece of leather.When the light shines, blood streaks clearly emerge.

Qi Tianhe refused to think whether the skin belonged to an ordinary animal or a human: "Where is this place?"

Facing such terrifying visions, he would usually stay away with respect, but for some reason, he felt very relaxed at this moment, and even all the elements here were beautiful to him.

The woman turned her head slightly, walked lightly to Qi Tianhe with lotus steps, sniffed and said:

"Half living soul, half dead soul." She smiled coquettishly, "You..."

Before the words fell, another house appeared next to him at some point, and the old lady slammed on the ground with a cane: "Come here quickly, that poisonous woman is going to lick your skin!"

The woman told him to stay, and the old lady urged him to run quickly. At this moment, a monster with a human face and a bull's head suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbing the clothes behind Qi Tianhe, trying to take him away.

A pen flew over and smashed the monster's arm, and Qi Tianhe turned around and ran away.Every time he passes by, the scene will change differently, bamboo forest, mountains and rivers... Finally, his footsteps are blocked by the river.

The minotaur roared angrily, and threw a long chain over, as if it had life force, it wanted to actively wrap around its fragile neck.

He kept backing away, nearly falling into the river.

"Jump up."

In such an urgent situation, Qi Tianhe didn't care too much, grabbed the straw of life, and jumped into a small boat that was rowing over.The Minotaur roared angrily on the shore, the speed of the boat was very fast, and after a while, only the miniature of a black dot could be seen.

"Thank you."

Qi Tianhe turned around, and what he saw made his heart quickly rise again.

The boatman wore a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, but wore a pair of elegant glasses, and his smile was dark like the gray sky: "You're welcome."

Bookstore owner?

Qi Tianhe was silent, did he take the initiative to jump into the tiger's mouth?

The river water is black, bubbling, and occasionally a hand bone will be stretched out, making a gesture of fishing for things. It is impossible to jump into the river to save yourself.Qi Tianhe immediately sat down quietly, and decided not to speak until he figured out the rules of death.

The owner of the bookstore changed his dullness in the store in the past, and explained along the way: "These things in the river are called ghost claws, and they are included in Chapter 13 of "Folk Tales of Strange Hunting."

Qi Tianhe didn't answer, but the bookstore owner had his own way to make him speak: "The letter bird was originally the last story."

In the face of key information, as a player, how can we remain indifferent? In the background introduction of the dungeon, Yizhen is also included in this book.

The bookstore owner went on to say: ""Folk Stories of Curious Hunting" has been passed down from generation to generation, and my duty is to repair and maintain it."

Qi Tianhe finally spoke: "Why does the letter bird appear in reality?"

"That happened more than 100 years ago. Because of my mistake, Xinniao escaped from the book, and I also forged a fate with the mayor at that time." The bookstore owner was helpless: "The town was renamed by the mayor. Town, letter birds also like humans very much, which made me start to panic.”

Qi Tianhe: "Isn't it a good thing to help and protect each other?"

The bookstore owner seemed to have heard some big joke. He pointed to the spider with a human face on the bank, and then lowered his head to stare at the ghost claw in the river: "These things are all because of resentment. will be reduced to nothing."

"If you want the letter bird to exist forever, you must let the anger fill its body again.

"

Qi Tianhe frowned and said, "So you designed to trick the new mayor into eating bird meat?"

"As a ghost, even if there is only a skeleton left, once you have enough resentment, you can come back to life." The bookstore owner seemed to regard him as the best audience: "I had a wonderful idea at that time, why don't you tell me in person? Write a story?"

"...The story is called "Yizhen", and the theme is revenge and destruction."

The bookstore owner was triumphant.

Over the years, Qi Tianhe has encountered many mentally ill clients during his diagnosis and treatment. Some people's deformed worldviews cannot be saved, and rebuttals will only make their anger more exaggerated.

Therefore, he did not go to argue with the bookstore owner, but only used a question instead of a questioning tone: "What role does the child play in it?"

"Xiniao's anger is lower than I expected, and I need to add more fire," the bookstore owner plausibly said: "Besides, with one more dead soul, the story of Yizhen can be more substantial."

Qi Tianhe didn't express his opinion, and when he spoke again, his tone was a bit colder: "Where are you going now?"

The owner of the bookstore answered irrelevantly: "According to my original plan, the next step is to completely annihilate the soul of the child; let Xinniao destroy the entire town in endless anger."

A fascinated expression appeared between the words: "A story should have a beginning and an end..."

"Roar--"

A big black dog with its bones exposed suddenly jumped out in front of it, with a terrifying expression on its face. The bookstore owner's words got stuck in his throat. Qi Tianhe seized the opportunity of his momentary loss of consciousness and swung a small shovel to hit him violently.

The bookstore owner was kicked off the boat, black river water splashed onto the boat, Qi Tianhe hurriedly avoided.

Countless pairs of ghost claws grabbed the person who fell into the water, and dragged the bookstore owner to sink. In the blink of an eye, only a string of black bubbles remained on the surface of the water.

Qi Tianhe picked up the oar at the bow of the boat and sneered, "Go ahead."

He didn't paddle, and started to try awkwardly. The boat wobbled in the river, and finally showed signs of moving forward.

Qi Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that everything was about to develop in a good direction, the hull of the boat suddenly shook, and an arm stretched out, followed by his head.The half-length hair of the other party was wet, and it fell on the forehead like a water ghost, and the eyes could not be seen clearly.

Qi Tianhe swung his oar to beat him down, but the owner of the bookstore was so powerful that he grabbed the oar that hit him and climbed up instead.

"Why don't you ask one more question?" The bookstore owner's glasses were thrown into the river, and there was almost no focal length when looking at people.

Qi Tianhe: "Ask what?"

The bookstore owner said viciously, "For example, why didn't Xinniao come directly to revenge on me?"

Qi Tianhe was silent for a while, and said: "Practice is the best proof, and now it is clear without asking... The creatures in the book cannot cause harm to you."

He felt himself going cold.

Even with [Old Banknotes], in this magical world, the bookstore owner can return quickly.

"Relax, I won't kill you." Unexpectedly, the bookstore owner easily gave a promise: "Now I am just a boatman, and you are a traveler."

Qi Tianhe didn't believe it at all, and the fact that he hasn't done anything yet can only show that the previous attack is not a rule of death.

As the ship moved forward slowly, a miniature of a familiar town appeared in the fog ahead.Like a mirage, he could see the dead townspeople walking back and forth unconsciously. Qi Tianhe understood that the moment he stared into Xinniao's eyes, he was dragged into this world.

He grabbed the oars to stop the bookstore owner from going any further, and demanded, "Dock."

The bookstore owner's expression remained unchanged: "There are many unknown dangers on land."

As if to testify to his words, strange bird calls came from the clouds, and a two-headed snake also drilled out of the sand, flying a long distance like lightning and wriggling in the soil again.

But Qi Tianhe insisted: "Since you call yourself a boatman, the destination should be decided by the passengers themselves."

The game will not set a dead end, he has no way to jump off the boat and swim over, so he can only start with the boatman.

"Once you get off the boat, you can't get back on." The bookstore owner stared at him, unable to hide his resentful eyes.

Qi Tianhe emphasized: "I want to get off the boat, now."

The ship finally docked.

Before Qi Tianhe got off the boat, the double-headed snake had already swam over. The corpse dog let out a low growl, and the snake squirmed and struggled, and temporarily climbed onto the big tree next to it.

This deterrent effect won't last long, as there is a bookstore owner staring at him behind him. The other party wants to get off the boat but has been holding back, clutching a pocket watch, eager to speed up the hands.

Qi Tianhe didn't know how much time the game would give him, so he could only run forward desperately, trying to rush into the town through the fog.Not long after, footsteps came from behind him, and he didn't turn his head, knowing that the owner of the bookstore was after him.

In terms of speed in the dungeon, unless there is a special physique, ordinary players rarely surpass NPCs.In an instant, the two were only one step away, and when the bookstore owner's fingers were about to grab the prey, Qi Tianhe stepped into the town first.

The appearance of an outsider caused the townspeople who were wandering aimlessly to look over at the same time. There was a delay in their movements. It took almost half a minute from the time they found Qi Tianhe to walking towards him.

"Catch him, catch him for me!" The bookstore owner's startled and angry voice floated from behind.

Qi Tianhe ran forward with all his strength, and more and more figures followed him. Everything here was exactly the same as the layout of the town. He ran according to the direction he remembered, and finally saw the bookstore.

The corpse dog kept barking, and managed to stop the dead townspeople for a few breaths.

Qi Tianhe broke into the bookstore, and there was a stack of thick manuscripts spread out on the table, with "Yizhen" written on the top.He threw it directly at the corpse dog, whose bite force was astonishing, the manuscript was quickly torn to pieces, the figures of the townspeople who rushed in gradually faded, and the outline of the whole town began to blur.

The owner of the bookstore who came after him looked almost desperate: "My book, my book..."

His body starts from the feet and gradually becomes nothingness.

Qi Tianhe looked at him coldly: "To finish this story, you are also an indispensable part. You wrote yourself into the story, so you can live for so long."

Other creatures here cannot cause harm to the bookstore owner, but "Yizhen" is different. The bookstore owner is the core of the story. The only way to kill him is to destroy this page of the story.

"If you hurt others, you will end up hurting yourself. You are the kind of person you are talking about."

If I don't write this story, I really have nothing to do with him.

Half of his body had disappeared, the bookstore owner suddenly smiled, and he waved to Qi Tianhe: "Come here."

Qi Tianhe stood still.

The bookstore owner didn't force him, and took out the pen from his breast pocket and threw it over. Qi Tianhe wanted to avoid it, but the pen seemed to have magical powers, attracting him to spread his hand.

[Zhipen: A name is a story.

Open SS level copy'? ? ? ' key. ]

Qi Tianhe stared at the pen in his hand in bewilderment, unable to figure out the intention of the bookstore owner for a while, he was about to die, and even gave himself a copy key backhanded.

Repaying grievances with virtue?

The other party obviously does not have this quality.

"I said, I won't kill you." The bookstore owner looked at him with obsessive eyes: "Compared to you, "Yizhen" is a garbage story, and you are the most suitable to be included in "Folk Stories of Curious Hunting" "Existence in."

Qi Tianhe: "Thank you for the invitation."

He is not interested.

Until the end, the owner of the bookstore didn't change the way he looked at him. Qi Tianhe's expression didn't look abnormal, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.The moment he storms into town, the bookstore owner yells 'catch him' rather than 'kill him,' which is intriguing.

The ones included in the strange stories are either foreign objects or ghosts. Why does the bookstore owner want to use him as a material?

Yizhen completely disappeared in the mist. Qi Tianhe didn't close his eyes. He glanced at the psychedelic world in the book for the last time. Unknowingly, the surrounding scene changed. When he came back to his senses, he stood in the warm room with A single lamp was burning persistently.

Everything in the bookstore was the same, the only difference was that the boss no longer stared at him asking for answers as before, and lay quietly on the table, one arm slid down the corner of the table, and Qi Tianhe checked his breath and pulse. There was no sign of life at all.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Tianhe searched around again, but found no novelty-hunting storybooks.

Suddenly a clear chirping sounded outside, Qi Tianhe walked out the door, a phantom hovered in the sky, and countless light clusters were scattered around it.

Qi Tianhe ran in the direction where Xuying flew. At the end of the road was the mayor's house. The swollen child crawled out from the cellar. The white ghost stopped in front of it. The child slowly reached out and touched Xuying's head.

[Special Branch: Jiguo Soup (Completed)

Congratulations on your success in calming the letter bird's grudge.

Reward: Bloody Fruit.This is a fruit soaked in the blood of the letter bird. If you take it when you are exhausted, it can give you energy for seven days. ]

If it is a hunger dungeon, the victory with this thing is already half in sight.

Xuying raised his neck and yelled again, his voice weakened a lot, and before Qi Tianhe had time to take a look at the real letter bird, the traces belonging to it were completely erased.

As the bookstore owner said, all creatures in "Folk Stories" exist because of resentment.Now that the owner of the bookstore is dead, the child's seal has been lifted, and Xinniao has punished the residents of the town for so many years... Once the grievances accumulated for decades subside, Xinniao will naturally not be able to continue to exist in the world.

The child felt a little lost, fixedly looked at the direction where the letter bird disappeared for a while, and drifted away to the house where he used to live.

Qi Tianhe didn't know what the mayor and his wife looked like now, and there was a high probability that they would not be alive. The story of "Yi Town" was destroyed, and the dead souls disappeared along with it. Soon, all the ghosts in this town will disappear, including children.

Think about how innocent this child died.

"This is the world of the living." Bai Chan suddenly appeared from behind, interrupting his melancholy.

Qi Tianhe turned around, and Bai Chan said slowly: "Sooner or later, the undead will turn into ghosts due to resentment, and it is impossible for humans and ghosts to coexist in this small town."

Hearing this, Qi Tianhe sighed, but was too entangled in this question: "Did you get the reward for the special branch line?"

Bai Chan laughed: "If you choose Task [-] and survive for half a month, no matter which player, you can get a reward as long as you do it." He looked at Qi Tianhe: "Task [-] is a competitive task, and there is only one reward."

Qi Tianhe was stunned for a moment: "Can it still be like this?"

"Special rewards are not a bad thing." Bai Chan: "Besides, the dungeon is also given a choice. If you want to be safe, choose mission one, and the corresponding rewards will be much inferior."

Between gains and losses, it all depends on how individuals measure.

Qi Tianhe felt that this was barely fair in a different sense. Without this restriction, selfish people might hide and leave the risky work to other players, and in the end they could get some loot for nothing.

"By the way, where's Zhu Zhaoyu?" He suddenly remembered.

"We're out." Bai Chan introduced the opponent's plan in a few words.

Qi Tianhe was not angry: "It's a skill to think of such a way."

After a pause, he asked again, "How did he die?"

Bai Chan's complexion became unusually complicated, and finally said three words solemnly: "I haven't spelled it."

Haven't tried?

Qi Tianhe wondered what kind of answer this was.

Bai Chan changed the subject at the right time: "Leave the dungeon first, let's go out and talk."

Qi Tianhe agrees, every extra minute in the dungeon is a torment.

The letter bird disappeared, and the statue standing on the open ground collapsed and shattered into powder. The temperature dropped to the average temperature of a few weeks ago. Gradually, some townspeople walked out of their houses, almost crying, shouting, "It's normal, it's back to normal." ! '

As the two walked forward, almost all they heard were screams. Qi Tianhe also saw the girl who often gave Liu Tianming free juice to drink and couldn't wait to reopen the store.

When approaching the entrance of the town, a figure happened to disappear, and it was Zhu Shuse from the back.

"Let's go too." Qi Tianhe said.

Bai Chan nodded, noticing that his eyes were turning around her body intentionally or unintentionally, and asked without squinting: "What are you looking at?"

"Why isn't the hair the color of a parrot?"

"..." Bai Chan took a deep look at him and said, "My eyelashes are that color."

"Really?" Qi Tianhe looked at it full of curiosity, but the facts disappointed him...pure black, so black that it couldn't be darker.

Hearing Qi Tianhe turned his head and murmured softly, Baichan couldn't help but put a smile on his face, stepped out of the town, and turned into a parrot again.

[Congratulations to the player Qi Tianhe for clearing the Yizhen Reward: game coins*130

Team reward: game currency*80, healing spray*1

Healing Spray: It is beneficial to wound healing, and how much it can heal depends on fate.

Please in terms of wealth, lifespan, status...]

Hearing the game sound during the teleportation, Qi Tianhe squinted his eyes happily. As expected of a team of six, not only did they have game coins, but they also got the healing items they had always wanted.

Returning from a closed town to the dark underground parking lot, the mood that was just a little bit brighter faded with the environment.

The flamboyant red sports car disappeared, the man in the bandage had already taken a step ahead, but Liu Tianming hadn't left yet. Looking at his watch, only Qi Tianhe came out, and the other player seemed to have returned to the state of a transparent person.

"He chose task one, and he will stay in the town for a few days." Noticing that he was looking at him, Qi Tianhe replied.

Both parties knew how watery this sentence was, but Liu Tianming didn't continue to ask.

The black car had already started, and Liu Tianming handed something through the window.

It is a very old book, and it says "Folk Stories of Strange Hunting".

Qi Tianhe was startled: "Can this thing bring out the game?"

"Look first." Liu Tianming said calmly.

The front is full of illustrations and short stories. When I flip through it, there are no special effects of big movies, and a monster flies out of it suddenly.

This seemed to be just a simple novel, until most of it was finished, Qi Tianhe's pupils shrank, and the title of the paper was written in big characters "Tianhe", but the story behind it was empty.

"Zhu Shuse found it from the bookstore."

Qi Tianhe calculated the timeline, and it was that she went in not long after he left.The old player is really good. At the beginning, I also searched for a long time in the bookstore, but found nothing, and the dungeon was about to end, and I wanted to go back to find a book that seemed useless, and the level of delicacy was extraordinary.

"Why is this book here with you?"

"I just ran into it, and I exchanged it with her." Liu Tianming said, "Thanks to that stupid brother Zhu Shuser wasting replacement props, she also wants to restock."

The word replenishment is a good one.

Praying for Tianhe not to be sour.

Liu Tianming: "It's impossible for your name to appear on it for no reason. It's safest to keep such special things in your own hands."

Qi Tianhe was deeply convinced, and asked the key question: "How many game coins will be paid?"

Liu Tianming laughed: "I'm not a middleman."

He didn't have a good rest in the dungeon, so he drove away without telling Qi Tianhe.

After making sure there was no one else, Qi Tianhe immediately tried to call the parrot.

A dejected parrot flew out, far less energetic than in the dungeon, flapped its wings weakly in mid-air, and finally lay down directly on Qi Tianhe's legs.

Qi Tianhe said seriously: "You are getting fat."

Parrot admits: "A lot of energy still takes time to digest."

After leaving the game, it asked Qi Tianhe what he got for the first time.

"Eat enough to satisfy hunger for seven days."

The parrot was thoughtful: "Although it's not as good as an item that can offset the punishment of a failed game, it's still okay."

The bad thing about this thing is that it is extremely targeted. The dungeons that are not about food are almost useless, but once you encounter them, you can easily pass the level with care.

Qi Tianhe also had the same idea. He had considered whether to trade things in the forum for something with a wider range of uses.

Driving home, there was no one in the house for a while, and it was stuffy and dusty. Qi Tianhe cleaned up first to resist his exhaustion.

Half an hour later, looking at the bright and clean room again, he sighed contentedly.

The parrot also participated in the cleaning and leaned lazily aside.

Qi Tianhe had a lot to ask, but he didn't know where to start.

The parrot saw his confusion and explained: "When problems pile up, solve the main contradiction first."

Qi Tianhe: "But I'm not sure which one is the main contradiction."

Parrot is very experienced and said: "Then focus on things that may not be so serious, but have the ability to solve them, and give yourself a buffer stage."

Qi Tianhe pondered for a while, and had an idea: "You can become a human, isn't it strange that I take you in the bath every time?"

"..."

"Also, since you have a human body, why do you use my body to practice the Seven Days Classic?"

The wings and the red paws are somewhat in the same hands and feet, the parrot shook a bit, and said in a difficult tone: "Let's discuss the game...it's better."

The author has something to say: Parrot: let the past pass forever.

Qi Tianhe: ...
