It's almost like I'm a fairy

Area F is obviously different from the previous areas. There are various flowers, but there are no weird flower species. Some of them can be named, such as peonies, roses, etc. Among them, marigolds account for the vast majority.

The stall owners were generally friendly, Qi Tianhe stopped in front of the first stall, worried about breaking the taboo, and asked first: "Can I touch it with my hands?"

The stall owner, a young man about his age, nodded cheerfully.

Qi Tianhe touched it lightly with his hand, it was soft and real... every potted flower was like this.

He said thank you, and walked around the front stalls. Based on the touch and smell, he didn't find a pot of paper flowers.Qi Tianhe turned back and asked: "What is the lucky flower of the bastard?"

The young man pointed out four pots to him, including evergreen, longevity flower, gladiolus, and a pot of flowers that could not be named.

"Look, is there anyone who is close to your eyes?"

Qi Tianhe recalled the words of the fortune teller, saying: "The flowers I want must also have the meaning of life and death."

The young man explained gently: "It is very difficult to really choose the right lucky flower. It is recommended to buy a pot first."

"Can you find a substitute for Lucky Flower?"

"Of course," the young man explained patiently, "It's like everyone has more than one lucky number or color."

His eyeballs were slightly red, as if infected, and he would rub them from time to time: "In this market, if you are alone and don't bring anything, you are very likely to encounter demons."

Qi Tianhe stood where he was, looking at the flowers silently.

The young man didn't urge him, and let him just watch but not buy.

After a while, Qi Tianhe made a gesture to leave: "I'll look elsewhere."

The young man said softly, "Okay."

The moment he turned around, Qi Tianhe's eyes darkened. An NPC that was too normal was tantamount to abnormal. You can't trust the words of the mourning hall administrator, but it is impossible to fabricate the saying that there are vendors selling paper flowers out of thin air.

The mist that had dispersed a little suddenly gathered again, layer upon layer, and the field of vision was almost completely blurred.The fog was very humid. Qi Tianhe was wearing a white T-shirt, and the water droplets condensed from the cuffs were scarlet. When he looked around again, his whole body seemed to be swallowed by the blood fog.

The stall owners also seemed to be very scared, and some pushed their carts to nowhere.

Qi Tianhe returned to the shop where the young man was just now, all his flowers were placed on a layer of white cloth, and he was currently rolling the shop to find a place to hide.

The game prompt sounded at this time:

[Mysterious blood mist swept the market, be careful of the bloody demon hidden in the mist.

Players of the sheep sign are in front of flower shop No. 36, and players of the snake sign will be in front of flower shop No. 24...]

The game broadcasts everyone's location:

[When the devil comes, if you tell him the location of his companion, the devil may let you live. ]

The young man beckoned to Qi Tianhe suddenly: "Follow me, let's hide over there."

Qi Tianhe followed him closely, holding the [Old Banknotes] in his hand. In the blood mist, the distance between the two was close enough, but the young man's back was still blurred.

The game updates the location every 5 minutes, and hiding seems to be of little use.

[The location of the sheep zodiac player has been leaked.

Within 5 minutes, the player must not reveal the location of other players to the bloodbath. ]

In my impression, this is the first time I have encountered such a bad game prompt.

"An upgraded version of the Prisoner's Dilemma?" Qi Tianhe sneered.

He has no doubt that someone will actively make some noises to attract demons and report the positions of other players in order to gain a favorable position.

"How long does it take for the devil to go?"

Youth: "Wait until he is full."

Qi Tianhe asked again: "Isn't that an endless escape from death?"

The young man stopped: "The devil will not attack the person holding the lucky flower."

[The location of the eight zodiac players has been leaked.

Within 5 minutes, the player must not reveal the location of other players to the bloodbath. ]

I knew that sooner or later I would wait for such a notification sound, but it was a bit too soon.

The young man reopened the white cloth, bowed his head and was arranging the flowers. The fog was so thick that he could hardly see other plants except for a pot of evergreens with unique shapes and hanging decorations.

"Guest, I heard the gasp of the devil, you should buy a pot of lucky flowers, even if it is a substitute for lucky flowers."

He professionally recommended to Qi Tianhe the lucky flowers suitable for the eight zodiac signs.

There was no sound from behind, but Qi Tianhe felt a strong sense of crisis, and said without hesitation, "Pick me the cheapest one."

The young man gave him a pot of gladiolus.

Qi Tianhe hugged the flower and stopped walking. A black shadow in the dense fog was approaching. Qi Tianhe couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly at all. It seemed that this black shadow was the fog itself, which could change shape at will.

The parrot suddenly said: "Your props are useless to him."

Pray for Tianhe to take back the [old banknotes].

Standing facing each other, Sombra didn't make any attacking moves, as if he was concerned about the flowers in his hand.

The young man disappeared at some point, and Qi Tianhe felt uneasy in his heart, and suddenly felt the weight of the flowerpot in his hand getting lighter and lighter.He pouted, knowing that the NPC's words could not be trusted.

After adjusting the angle, he threw the flowerpot directly at the shadow without any politeness, and Qi Tianhe ran in the opposite direction.

He has been chased and killed by the boss many times in the dungeon, but never like this, he couldn't hear any chasing footsteps behind him, and even his panting when he ran violently seemed to be absorbed by the mist.

In the vast expanse of the world, there was only dead silence, and Qi Tianhe always felt a chill behind him, as if a demon had appeared behind him.

Regardless of revealing his identity, he summoned the corpse dog: "Lead the way."

As soon as the corpse dog came out, he looked around blankly, quickly found the direction, and ran away in a hurry.

"..."

Qi Tianhe had no choice but to forcibly withdraw it, and summoned again: "Run slowly, I can't see it from too far away."

Fortunately, there was a strong difference between black and white, and the color of the dead dog could barely be seen in the dense fog, so Qi Tianhe rushed in the direction it was running.

Parrot: "Catch up, throw the fire."

A small ball of will-o'-the-wisp condensed in the palm of Qi Tianhe, and he threw it back without looking back.

The effect of the will-o'-the-wisp is very good, and the consumption is also huge. He obviously felt that his physical strength was gradually exhausted.

[The location of the sheep zodiac player has been leaked.

Within 5 minutes, the player is not allowed to provide the location of other players to the bloodshot demon. ]

Qi Tianhe was stunned for a moment, realizing that the demon had only been chasing him for 5 minutes. In the end, he couldn't help but sympathize with Zhou Zhi. His location was leaked twice in a row. How bad is this person?

Slowly stopped running, Qi Tianhe suddenly remembered that when reporting the identity of the deceased, Zhou Zhi's score was second only to him, and he had the advantage of being the first to hand in the task, but Zhou Zhi's score was higher than that of the witch general. It is possible that a key clue has been obtained.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the smell of blood in the air seemed to become stronger, and then the blood mist faded away, and the market returned to its original appearance.

"Take a look, two pots get [-]% off and three pots get [-]% off, for a limited time."

"The newly introduced unique variety, don't miss it when you pass by!"

The real flower market can't hear such shouts, it's like a bustling market that is dealing with warehouse clearance.

Qi Tianhe saw the young man who had just sold flowers to him, and the latter showed a refreshing smile: "Which pot did the customer fancy? It's all right."

It's useless to worry about it, there is no fake ten-for-one rule here, Qi Tianhe recalled the corpse dog to find Zhou Zhi's figure, and secretly prayed that he was still alive.

After walking all the way for a long time, Zhou Zhi didn't find it, but saw a pool of blood on the ground. A bloody man was curled up on the road not far ahead. Under the faint mist, it seemed to be a mosaic.

The blood-stained breastplate fell not far away, and Qi Tianhe picked it up, and there was a picture of a naive calf on it... Kang Yang must have died.

Putting the sign back next to the corpse again, he folded his arms and began to think deeply. The paper flowers are not useless. At least just now helped him to delay the time. Kang Yang’s money was confiscated by the mourning hall administrator when he entered the F area, and most of the remaining money could not be bought. substitutes.

The blood mist condensed again.

Qi Tianhe specially followed a flower seller in case of emergency.This area seems to consume a lot of physical energy. He is hungry and thirsty now. This is based on the premise that he has eaten a few skewers of Malatang. It is estimated that it will be more difficult for others to support.

Qi Tianhe once again summoned the corpse dog to lead the way. The corpse dog is a good hand in exploring the route, and the direction it chose is not so exaggerated.

Parrot: "There are people 50 meters ahead."

Qi Tianhe took back the corpse dog, guessing that it would be Zhou Zhi.

The wizard is afraid that it will not be exciting enough, and he likes to drill deep into the fog. The rest of the players are egoists, and most of them will take the initiative to go to the devil to leak other people's whereabouts. Zhou Zhi was the target of the devil's attack twice before. It is said that if you want to live, you have to escape from the fog as much as possible.

"Who?"

A vigilant voice came.

Qi Tianhe: "It's me."

In a place where the fog was thinner, the two sides could barely see each other's faces. Zhou Zhi did not relax his vigilance, on the contrary, his defensive attitude became more obvious.Qi Tianhe's success in living up to now is really beyond the scope of cognition.

Qi Tianhe was thinking about how to give a reasonable excuse, and the parrot gave him an idea: "Let the blame go to the witch general, and you get the benefit."

Hearing this, Qi Tianhe blinked, raised his eyes and stared at Zhou Zhi sincerely: "The witch general gave me an amulet, and he asked me to come to you and ask if I found any important clues?"

Zhou Zhi himself was very suspicious, how could he share it selflessly just because of a few words, even though Qi Tianhe quickly said that he could exchange information.

However, Qi Tianhe seemed confident enough to let him speak: "If a person who holds the secret reveals the secret, why would the murderer need to kill to silence him?"

After a pause, he said, "At least after the exchange of information, the devil will no longer stare at you alone."

what to say

[The location of the sheep zodiac player has been leaked.

Within 5 minutes, the player must not reveal the location of other players to the bloodbath. ]

"Fuck!" Zhou Zhi cursed, glanced at Qi Tianhe, and quickly said, "An NPC told me that the deceased was a murderer, causing 52 casualties."

Qi Tianhe looked at him with something wrong.

Zhou Zhi himself smiled wryly: "I also find it strange, I don't know what the meaning of this sentence is."

Qi Tianhe was suspicious for the time being, and still talked about the forum, but he didn't tell the name of the deceased.

"Forum..." Zhou Zhi's eyes flickered, "So that's how it is."

Not daring to delay any longer, he found the hidden flower shop owner, bought a pot substitute and ran forward quickly.

Qi Tianhe was also worried about being affected by the chasing demon, so he walked towards another fork where the fog was thinner.

When no one is around, the parrot will occasionally come out to get some air, stop on his shoulder and ask, "What are you thinking?"

Qi Tianhe: "Zhou Zhi really doesn't seem to know that this dungeon is related to the posts on the forum."

He had some doubts at first, and could not rule out that the demon hunt was a farce directed and acted by himself, but after a brief exchange, it seemed that it was not like that.

The blood mist dissipated for the second time, and the parrot disappeared, and the market was as lively as ever.

"Customer, do you want to buy flowers?" Qi Tianhe turned around and found that it was the young flower seller again, and couldn't help suggesting: "You should change your target to kill customers."

The young man smiled and said: "Customers who have been fooled once are more likely to be fooled in order to earn back their money."

"..."

The young man launched the potted flowers that he introduced to Qi Tianhe just now, but this time the gladiolus was missing, leaving three options: "These are all suitable for you."

The voice of the parrot sounded in my mind: "The dungeon prompt is sometimes relative."

Qi Tianhe thought about this sentence carefully, and the reminder said to shop around and save money, this is not a false instruction.The more money left, the more beneficial it is to buy a substitute for the lucky flower when the blood mist comes, otherwise it will end up like Kang Yang.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a small sign next to the cart on the opposite side. He hurried over to pick it up, and found that it was another player's badge, whose zodiac sign was a pig.

Qi Tianhe grabbed the corner of the sign and walked back to the young man's shop, asking, "Before we people came, was there another group of customers here?"

The young man prevaricated and said, "I can't remember clearly."

Qi Tianhe was silent. This sign could confirm his previous suspicions. There were still a group of players who had entered the dungeon and achieved the group-destroyed ending.

In terms of the ability to save money alone, there must have been players who did better than him before... After all, he bought a few sticks of Malatang.

The parrot makes up the knife: "Who told you to be greedy?"

Qi Tianhe asked back: "Who is this influenced by?"

Lessons learned from the past, saving money is definitely not the way to survive.He looked at the young man: "How much is the most expensive?"

"One hundred twenty."

"Take a basin."

The young man smiled a little more, and carefully packed it for him: "Dear guest, congratulations on reaching the consumption standard of our store. In order to improve the survival rate of high-quality customers, this store will give you a free message."

"..." The money was not wasted.

Youth: "When the blood mist appeared for the third time, the devil and his assistant were going to meet in one place. This is your only chance to see through the devil's assistant."

Qi Tianhe: "Where is the location?"

The young man smiled without saying a word.

Qi Tianhe: "Can't you disclose the extra money?"

Youth: "Not in the fog."

There is no fog now, but the meeting time is when the blood fog appears again.Qi Tianhe walked forward silently, thinking about the contradictions in it, he tried to put himself in the role of the devil, if it was him, where would he decide the meeting place.

"The devil is looking for his assistant, the devil is looking for his hearse..." The mourning hall administrator hummed an out-of-tune song, folding paper flowers deftly in his hands.

Qi Tianhe stared at him for a while, his eyes slowly shifted, and the place directly opposite the mourning hall was empty. Not long ago, the administrator of the mourning hall led them in from there.

An idea slowly took shape. Could it be that the place where the devil and the devil's assistant meet is not in Area F, but the flower market when they first came in?

Only in this way can the youth say 'not in the fog'.Thinking of this, Qi Tianhe took a step to the left, and the mourning hall administrator looked over vigilantly.

Qi Tianhe changed direction pretending nothing happened, said a few insignificant words, and tried to persuade the mourning hall administrator to go to another place.

"Someone has an accident ahead, do you need to clear the road?"

However, the administrator of the mourning hall was so addicted to singing that he didn't listen to it at all.

This is not a good omen, it means that there is only one last chance to leave... When the blood mist appears, the mourning hall administrator's vision will be disturbed to a certain extent.

Qi Tianhe saw the right direction and waited patiently for the third blood mist to come, during which time he planned how to increase the chance of survival.

The flower market is by no means a safe place, and Ah Shi was stranded there because his sign was snatched away by Kang Yang at the last moment, resulting in his death.

When it comes to the customers who gradually revealed their true colors before leaving, there is not much difference between the flower market and the ghost market.However, the new players introduced later have completed tasks in the flower market, and it is impossible for them to be in a dangerous state all the time.

"The devil is among you—"

The singing of the mourning hall administrator became softer and softer, and the blood mist finally descended.

Qi Tianhe summoned the corpse dog, hung the brand on it, and prayed that the game notification sound would be positioned according to the brand.After that, without the slightest hesitation, he ran straight away.The blood mist was gradually left behind, and there was a long and dark passage in front of him. When he passed through, he felt a biting chill. When he was taken away by the mourning hall administrator, he didn't have such a terrible chill.

The flower market lost its original brightness, and the owner of the nearby shop only had half of his face. He was the first to smell the 'prey' approaching. After smelling the blood mist on Qi Tianhe, he couldn't help but backed away.

The boss said fiercely: "Guest, have you come to the wrong place?"

"Really?" Qi Tianhe looked innocent.

The boss tore off the remaining half of his face: "Look, we are different."

Qi Tianhe looked around and agreed: "That's right, I often feel inferior because I look incompatible with everyone."

The boss was caught in a tangle, blocking the way with a club in front, wanting to make the prey that came to his door into fertilizer, but he was afraid of the smell of blood mist, so he finally gave up doing it by force.

There are not a few normal customers in the flower market. There are five districts in total, and the area is not small. It is definitely unreliable to search for demons and demon assistants aimlessly. Qi Tianhe simply stays in the A district closest to the entrance and exit, so that he can observe at any time. Condition.

He found a remote place to sit down.

"A bottle of juice."

Next to the shop in front, there is a shop that sells drinks. Qi Tianhe's mouth is dry now, and his throat is burning with pain.

There was an extra shadow in front of him. He thought it was a waiter, but when he turned around, there was a long-haired man wearing a peaked cap sitting opposite him.

"...Bai Chan?"

Qi Tianhe was stunned for a moment, and bit his lower lip hard to prevent himself from falling into the illusion trap unconsciously.

"It's me." Bai Chan seemed to see what he was worried about: "It's not an illusion."

Qi Tianhe still tried to call the parrot in his mind, but it was Bai Chan who spoke: "It's a good thing to be vigilant, but there are more important things to do now."

"For example..." Qi Tianhe asked tentatively.

Bai Chan: "Confirm what you heard in the book world."

The book he was referring to was "Folk Tales of Curiosities."

Qi Tianhe was recalled: "Half living soul, half dead soul?"

Bai Chan nodded.

After that sentence, Qi Tianhe really had a lot of hidden worries in his heart. The female ghost's evaluation seemed to say that she was a living dead person, and even had something to do with the game world.Human imagination is boundless. During this period, Qi Tianhe imagined three or four versions, each of which was more bizarre than the other.

"wait for me."

After finishing speaking, Bai Chan stood up and walked to the half-faced boss who wanted to turn Qi Tianhe into fertilizer. Without a word of nonsense, he dragged the other party by the collar and walked to a blind spot. When he came out, he was alone.

Qi Tianhe made a gesture of wiping his neck: "Give that ghost to..."

Bai Chan shook his head: "NPCs can't be killed randomly, it's just that he has suffered a bit."

As he spoke, he spread out his palms, and there was a cloud of black air clenched inside.

"It's to get this thing." The black air dispersed, and a few scary bees flew out.

Qi Tianhe remembered that Song Mu casually mentioned that their previous mission was very simple, and the only thing to be careful about was not being stung by bees, which showed that these bees haunted by black air were not good stubble.

"What's the use of catching bees?"

Baichan smiled: "This is not a bee, but a ghost pupa that looks very similar to a bee. Try burning it with will-o'-the-wisp fire."

Qi Tianhe did as he did, and instantly a small scorched yellow lump fell out of midair, much like an edible silkworm chrysalis.He had an ominous premonition: "Could it be that you want me to..."

Bai Chan nodded and handed it over: "Eat it while it's hot."

"..." Qi Tianhe pursed his thin lips, closed his eyes and shook his head.

Bai Chan: "Living people can't digest the dark energy, so only ghosts eat people, and there is no such thing as people eating ghosts."

Qi Tianhe opened his eyes and understood what he might want to convey.

"The dark energy contained in the ghost chrysalis is not much. Even if something abnormal happens after you eat it, I can save it in time." Bai Chan: "I want to see if your body can adapt to this energy."

Qi Tianhe's eyelashes trembled: "If it is possible?"

Bai Chan knew that the answer he gave was a bit cruel, but he didn't hide it from him: "That means to a certain extent, you have similarities with these NPCs."

Qi Tianhe smiled wryly: "Humans are not human, ghosts are not ghosts?"

Bai Chan: "You'll know after you try it."

Qi Tianhe picked one up at random, and before it could be brought to his lips, the ghost pupa turned into a cloud of black air and entered the entrance. He could clearly feel that his physical strength had recovered a little.Then I tried the second and the third, and suddenly understood the joy of the parrot, and commented: "The moment the mouth exploded, the taste of lemon bloomed..."

However, Bai Chan has long since disappeared.

After Qi Tianhe solved the last ghost chrysalis, he began to share his feelings in his mind.

"So it was you." A voice interrupted his communication with the parrot.

The existence that suddenly appeared at the entrance of Area A has no human form at all, it is purely a black phantom transformed by mist: "No wonder a rookie can survive until now...My assistant, you are really good at hiding."

The voice was indescribable, vague and weak, like a poor-quality tape that had been edited, but Qi Tianhe always felt that he had heard it somewhere.

He didn't think too much about this question, and more attention was attracted by the content of the other party's words... Assistant?

The phantom floated in front of Qi Tianhe, and threw down a bronze key: "If you find the hearse first, you must drive it immediately and destroy the No. 52 flower shop. Remember, you must destroy it!"

Qi Tianhe lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly. He put away the key and asked, "Who are you? How can I contact you?"

It's a pity that Xuying is quite cautious: "Do your job well, don't ask too much."

After all, it disappeared like a gust of wind.

Parrot: "It's not the body, it's just part of the scattered energy, which can be seen as a projection."

"His main body should still be hunting players in the blood mist." Qi Tianhe weighed the key and let out a soft snort: "It's so hard to see me as an assistant."

On second thought, the devil seemed to have no idea who the assistant he was looking for was. Whether it was the lyrics sung by the mourning hall administrator or the few words the devil said when it appeared, it all showed this point.

Parrot: "In fact, when you ate the ghost pupa and praised the taste of lemon, he happened to bump into it, and you were regarded as the same kind."

Hearing this, Qi Tianhe reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth: "I can digest ghost pupae, does that mean..."

A sudden voice came——

"Oh it's you."

The same sentence pattern, the same surprised tone.

When Qi Tianhe turned his head, he saw Zhang Zhentong who was full of surprise.He instantly understood the role he needed to play, and walked to the boss who had been beaten by the parrot before: "Things."

The half-faced boss handed over a few more ghost chrysalis in aggrieved manner.

Qi Tianhe grilled with ghost fire in front of Zhang Zhentong, imitating the tone of the devil and said: "My assistant, you are really good at hiding."

Seeing the NPC being threatened with his own eyes, the last doubt in Zhang Zhentong's heart dissipated, and he said in a daze: "No wonder a rookie can live until now..."

Qi Tianhe gave him a cold look, Zhang Zhentong quickly shut up.

"You are late." Qi Tianhe said.

Zhang Zhentong was helpless: "The administrator of the mourning hall didn't know why he was crazy. He was blocked at the entrance and exit. It took me a little effort to get out."

Qi Tianhe waved his hand, motioning for him not to make unnecessary explanations, and gave the death order on the spot: "Your task is to protect flower shop No. 52, remember, protect it at all costs."

The author has something to say: Qi Tianhe: I am the master of my copy.

Parrot:……
