The Midnight Owl

Captain Xu tried to "save that girl" to divert the embarrassment of going astray. The friends didn't buy it, but the girl on the torture rack looked this way first.

Her face was stained with tears, her eyes were blank, and there was a trace of fear.

Xu Wang confirmed that the other party was looking at him.

"Hey," Xu Wang didn't look away, still staring, and kept calling others, "She seems to be able to see us..."

The fourteen people who had just been deceived by Xu's script instinctively didn't believe it, but when they looked up, the girl was indeed looking at them.

Everyone looked at each other and stepped forward cautiously.

The girl's eyes flickered, as if silently saying "help me".

"Why are you still standing there, save people." Ji Yunlei, the wheat-colored male classmate, kicked over and half of the firewood pile collapsed.

Teacher Wei looked at Feng Rang with a headache.

Feng, with dark circles under his eyes, was also very helpless: "I've said it all, I can't stand it."

"Keep an eye on Ji Yunlei" was an order from the captain, but this teammate was as quiet as a mountain eagle and moved like a mountain tiger. As an ordinary human being, Feng Rang's mission success rate is really not high.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Ji Yunlei cleared the scene under the torture frame with two feet, while the others rushed to rescue the trapped girl.

"Thank you for saving me..." The girl knelt on the ground, couldn't stop being grateful, her voice was trembling, crying like the rest of her life after a catastrophe, her hair was loose, and the dirt on her face was washed black and white by tears. The appearance of the Qing Dynasty.

"It's not us who saved you," Xu Wang took off the petals stuck in her hair, "It's it."

The girl looked at the light blue petals, as if she was seeing it for the first time.

Xu Wang was surprised: "You don't recognize it?"

He just changed the story line to "the love is not over", is it wrong again?

The girl shook her head and said hoarsely, "I've never seen a flower of this color before."

Xu Wang: "Where is the boy who looks like a flower fairy?"

girl:"……"

Team Wei Menghan: "..."

Han Buting team: "..."

I beg who can throw a <[fantasy] please give up your dream of being a writer> to the captain of the main line! ! !

"What's your name?" Wu Sheng came over and intervened forcefully in the chat.

Girl: "Konina."

"Why do they want to burn you?"

"They say I'm a witch."

"You did something to make them suspicious?"

"No, I was fine the day before, but they broke into my house early this morning, insisting that I was a witch..."

"them?"

"People in the village, everyone was very kind even the day before..."

"where is your family?"

"I have no family, my parents died when I was very young."

"The person who was burned to death... seems to be called Amy, do you know him?"

"she is my best friend……"

"Not at all."

"..."

"She said she would turn into an evil spirit and come back from hell to find you."

"..."

Wu Junshi is not a person who is good at communicating with people. His questions are so direct that they are almost simple and rude, and his responses are not gentle. The answer is silent.

"Do you know the man with her?"

"man?"

"It's under the tree over there. When you were executed, they were together."

"Amy never said she had a crush..."

"Are you going home now?"

"Yes, I have nowhere else to go."

"Aren't you afraid that the villagers will come and arrest you again?"

"I don't know, I just want to sleep well, maybe this is just a nightmare..."

"Can we spend the night at your place?"

"Of course, you are Cornina's benefactors."

The girl stood up, apparently about to start "leading the way".

Wu Sheng nodded, and turned around to confirm with all his friends: "Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, let's continue with the plot."

Han Buting shook his head, although he concealed it well, there was still a trace of "recognition" in his eyes.

Teacher Wei directly made a gesture of invitation: "Let's go—"

Cornina leads the way, Xu Wang and Wu Sheng, as the main leaders of the love line, follow closely, and the remaining thirteen friends are behind.

Since there is no such thing as "unity" between each other, the whole team walks sparsely.

It happened to be convenient for two students, Sheng and Wang, to have a private conversation.

Of course, Captain Xu unilaterally "criticized" Army Division Wu.

"The questions you just asked are too dry." Captain Xu is a person who pursues the art of language.

Wu Junshi did not accept the criticism: "This kind of dialogue is equivalent to the plot dialogue in the game. It is the fastest to press Enter all the time."

Xu Wang said, "This is not a game."

Wu Sheng said, "I know."

Xu Wang frowned: "If you don't treat NPCs as human beings, how can you teach them to be human?"

Wu Sheng looked at Cornina's back, and said quietly: "I never regarded them as inanimate objects."

The look in the eyes of his own army division does not seem to be lying.

But what my military division did just now...

"You just mechanized the process." Xu Wang said.

Wu Sheng shook his head: "This time the situation is special."

Xu Wang thought for a while: "Because it's the world in the painting? Triple parallel space?"

Wu Sheng: "Because we still have two other teams with us, we can't come as we like."

Xu Wang was taken aback, he really didn't expect Wu Sheng to be able to think in another way.

"Okay," he admitted that he hadn't considered it comprehensively, "we really can't drag other people's time because of our willfulness."

Wu Sheng looked at him inexplicably: "I mean, in front of the opponent, you must show your high efficiency to the maximum to be handsome enough."

Xu Wang: "..."

What kind of demonic desire to win is this! ! !

Teacher Wei, who was always at the back, walked at the end of the team. Kuang Jinxin, who was studying flowers and plants along the way, and Qian Ai, who was worried that he would be left behind, also fell behind.

Teacher Wei quickly seized the opportunity and asked, confused: "Can you tell us about your criteria for selecting the captain?"

Kuang Jinxin is still bowing his head and concentrating on searching for the "rescue suspect".

Qian Ai naturally took the question: "Public voting mainly depends on people's hearts."

Up to now, Wei Menghan still clearly remembers his inconceivable feeling when the save point was asked by the opponent's military advisor: "Your military advisor's wisdom and field control ability are not enough to win your hearts?"

"I won," Qian Ai said without any hesitation, "but he voted for our captain."

Wei Menghan: "..."

Qian Ai thought for a while, and then added: "Actually, he is not omnipotent. You will know after a lot of communication. Sometimes we can't understand what he says."

Wei Menghan raised his eyes and looked at the intimate figure at the front of the team, whispering shoulder to shoulder: "I see that there is no obstacle for your captain to communicate with him."

"Of course they can do it." Qian Ai didn't even think about it, "Sleeping in the same room for three years, can they sleep for nothing?"

Wei Menghan: "..."

The sudden quiet air brought Qian Ai back to his senses, and immediately swallowed back the words "high school back then..." that had come to his lips, and was annoyed in his heart, almost taking his own team boss out of his hands, obviously the day before The team meeting just finished emphasizing that for the sake of safety, don't reveal your real identity in "Owl" in the future.

"Just pretend I didn't say anything," Qian Ai quickly discussed, "You didn't hear anything either."

Teacher Wei nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I understand."

Qian Ai scratched her head, not understanding why Teacher Wei had the light of "heavy responsibility" in his eyes.

Konina's home was at the farthest corner of the village, a little far from the small square where the execution was carried out. The houses in the neighbors looked okay, except for Konina's two-story log cabin, which was dilapidated.

"My parents only left this house for me. It's an old house. I really don't have the money to hire someone to repair it..." Conina explained with some embarrassment, and led a group of people into the door.

Although the house is dilapidated, it is spacious enough. There is a small living room, a bedroom and a kitchen on the first floor. There are two bedrooms on the second floor, but there is basically no furnishings. It has been unoccupied for many years, and the only wooden bed is covered with thick dust, and naturally there are no bedding or quilts.

"You must be hungry, let's cook some mushroom soup..." Cornina said and walked to the kitchen.

The three captains spoke together——

Xu Wang: "Don't bother."

Han Buting: "No need."

Wei Menghan: "Cream of Mushroom Soup?"

Xu Wang and Han Buting: "..."

Wei Menghan: "I'll just ask casually..."

Cornina has disappeared into the kitchen, which seems like a regular part of the questline.

Han Buting didn't worry about it any more, and asked Xu Wang, "What are you going to do next?"

Xu Wang: "Amy said she would turn into an evil spirit and come back from hell to find Cornina."

Wu Sheng added: "So what we have to do is wait here for the evil spirits to come to us on their own initiative."

Han Buting has no objection to this plan, after all, the current story line can't see any other direction.

But a dozen people sitting together staring at each other is too awkward.

"My team members and I went upstairs to rest. If there is anything to do, call us at any time." He led the team to the stairs, then turned back, "It doesn't matter if the mushroom soup is ready."

Han Buting's team of five went upstairs.

Wei Menghan also made a decision: "We will also occupy one of the two upstairs bedrooms to recharge our batteries. Fighting evil spirits must be a tough battle."

Zou Jun, Feng Rang, and Ji Yunlei: "Don't drink mushroom soup?"

Zhu Mo: "Come down when you're drinking soup."

Zou Jun, Feng Rang, and Ji Yunlei: "Oh, yes."

Xu Wang's team points: "..."

……

Chalet, bedroom one.

Han Buting closed the door tightly, turned around, and was greeted by the dignified eyes of his teammates.

"To defeat the evil spirits, it is very likely that they will hand in the test directly." Li Xia leaned against the window, keeping as far away from the door as possible, while lowering his voice, "Do we really want to help?"

Li Zijin nodded all the time, expressing his approval of Li Xia.

"The question now is not whether we want to help," Han Buting's eyes were light but powerful, "but if we want to leave oil painting, we can only help."

Li Xia raised her eyebrows: "Gambling?"

Han Buting nodded: "Yes, betting that leaving the oil painting is not the end of their quest line."

Li Xia asked: "If so?"

Han Buting shrugged: "Acknowledge your fate and come back tomorrow."

"Then kill them directly, then beat the evil spirits and leave the oil painting." Li Zijin was not used to this kind of devious tactics, "Why do you have to bet on a 50% probability?"

Han Buting rubbed his temples and motioned for Li Xia to come.

He has already been tortured by this love line—mainly the team on the love line—to the point of being mentally weak, and he really doesn't have the energy to deal with the single-cell babies in the team.

Li Xia pulled Li Zijin closer: "Because without them, the probability of us leaving the oil painting is zero."

Li Zijin: "Why?"

Li Xia: "Can your pencil case be used?"

Li Zijin: "I can't, since I entered here, it has been ashes."

Li Xia: "Then it's over."

"But they are also gray, isn't it because the important plot has not yet been triggered?" Li Zijin always thought that when the evil spirit appeared, the pencil case would be automatically unsealed.

Li Xia: "...Next time you have something you can't figure out, just ask directly, don't try to make things up for yourself."

Li Zijin curled his lips, thinking that you and the captain are more indifferent than each other, who likes to ask you.

Li Xia saw his slander, didn't bother to answer, and said directly: "We use the yellow talisman obtained in the castle to collect ghosts. Similarly, to deal with the evil spirits here, we can only use the props obtained from the love line. .”

Li Zijin finally remembered that during the melee at 1310, the stationery of the other two teams had no effect on fighting ghosts at all, and even the stationery of his own team only played a small auxiliary role. In the end, he still had to rely on the yellow talisman obtained from the front room.

Thinking of this, he frowned heavily: "What kind of weapon did they get? Didn't they show it all the time?"

Li Xia said calmly: "When the evil spirit comes, you will know."

……

Chalet, bedroom number two.

Zou Jun: "That's it?"

Feng Rang: "I have already entered the task line of others, what else can I do?"

Zou Jun: "I'm not reconciled to making wedding dresses for others."

Zhu Mo: "I also stole someone else's save point."

Zou Jun: "They even lied to us for a meal!"

Feng Rang: "You are not seeking truth from facts. At that time, people said that if you want to invite, you will not let it go. AA will not let you go. You have to rush to pay for it yourself."

Zou Jun: "It is a kind of self-cultivation to take the initiative to pay the bill."

Ji Yunlei: "It translates to money to burn."

Wei Menghan: "Do you smell anything?"

Zou Jun, Feng Rang, and Ji Yunlei: "Yes!"

Zhu Mo: "The mushroom soup is ready."

……

first floor.

Cornina came out with a large pot of mushroom soup. The delicious aroma made people feel hungry even if they were not hungry.

Just as Xu Wang wanted to go upstairs to call, Mr. Wei's team had already come down. The speed was so fast and the timing was accurate, it made people suspect that there was a walkie-talkie upstairs that directly connected to the kitchen.

Cornina filled a bowl for everyone, and finally looked around suspiciously: "How many people seem to be absent?"

"They have no luck," Ji Yunlei drank it all in one gulp, and handed back the empty bowl, "Please have another bowl."

Cornina quickly filled him with soup again, then looked up upstairs: "I'll fill it up for them and send it up."

After finishing speaking, she went back to the kitchen, and quickly took a tray and a few empty bowls, and filled them up by herself.

Xu Wang originally wanted to stop her, but when he thought that "hospitality" was probably an important character of Konina, he let her go.

On this side, Cornina went upstairs, and on the other side, Qi Shan who had been "concentrating on creating" was finally done.

There is no pen and paper in Konina's house, so he can only use the stylus that comes with his mobile phone to draw on the small screen.

"It's very similar." Kuang Jinxin, who watched the whole process, even drank the soup quietly, and didn't really praise him until he was on par with Shan Shan and wrote.

Qi Shan smiled: "Let's just make do with it."

Kuang Jinxin shook his head: "Very professional."

Qi Shan said: "The craft that I taught myself halfway, I can earn a living."

"Are you a painter?" Xu Wang never asked Qi Shan's occupation, he only knew that his e-sports dream was still an unfulfilled ideal, so when Qi Shan said that he could draw the appearance of the youth under the tree, Xu Wang is actually not very sure.

Unexpectedly, what the new teammates showed was not "talent" but "skills".

The portrait sketch on the phone screen is almost the same as the young man under the tree.

"It's impossible to be a painter," Qi Shanle said, "I'll just be a little painter in this life."

While talking, Cornina came down from the second floor after delivering the soup.

Qi Shan quickly handed over the phone and asked, "Do you know this person?"

Before they asked Cornina if she knew the young man under the tree, but Cornina hadn't even seen anyone under the tree, so Qi Shan thought of drawing it.

Cornina was stunned when she saw the portrait. Obviously, she recognized it.

Xu Wang's team immediately came over, and even Teacher Wei's team, who was snoring at the table, put down their bowls temporarily and paid attention quietly.

"This is York, and it's also from this village." Cornina said as she lowered her head, a blush rose on her cheeks.

The pink bubbles were so obvious that Junjun Wu could see them.

"Do you like him?" Xu Wang inherited the style of his own military adviser, asking directly.

Cornina responded in a very low voice.

Xu Wang asked again: "Does he like you?"

Cornina didn't dare to raise her eyes anymore: "I don't know...I haven't told him what I think..."

Xu Wang frowned, another crush?

Hey, why did he say...

"So you are just ordinary friends?" Wu Sheng extracted the main line.

Cornina nodded.

Wu Sheng: "Where's Amy? What's her relationship with York?"

Cornina blinked blankly: "They?"

Wu Sheng nodded: "When you executed the execution, it was the two of them dating under the tree."

Cornina's eyes widened, and a layer of water vapor quickly covered her pupils, she looked pitifully: "No...how could Amy...she doesn't like York...she also said that she would help me confess... ..."

Xu Wang glanced at all the friends in the room—what did I say, it was a love triangle!

All friends in the house: "..."

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

Wei Menghan and Ji Yunlei fell without warning, they were just standing upright, but with a sudden shake, they fell down.

Zou Jun, Feng Rang, and Zhu Mo were startled, and hurried over to look at it. They fell down after taking two steps.

Five people were lying on the ground in a mess, their consciousness was blurred, their arms were waving wildly, as if they were bewitched.

Xu Wang was shocked and wanted to speak, but felt dizzy and nauseous for no reason. When his legs gave way, he fell down.

Wu Sheng's eyes were sharp and his hands quickly hugged him, his heart missed a beat in fright: "What's wrong?"

"Dizziness..." Xu Wang only had time to say these two words, his head was completely muddled, everything in front of him was distorted and deformed, his brain seemed to be out of control, and he started to move around.

At the same time, Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin also had the same symptoms.

"Upstairs, come down and help—" Wu Sheng shouted at the loudest voice, almost changing his tone in anxiety.

Han Buting's team soon appeared at the stairs, stunned by the situation, but still came down to provide humanitarian assistance.

A total of eight people were lying side by side on the ground, and their symptoms were surprisingly consistent. They were all confused, and their arms were waving wildly, as if something was disturbing him in front of him and he had to be driven away.

This strange scene made Han Buting feel a bit chilly: "What happened?"

"Mushrooms are poisonous!" Wu Sheng said while scratching Xu Wang's throat with his fingers to help him vomit.

Cornina's face was pale, and she burst into tears: "I, I didn't do anything, I picked the mushrooms in the suburbs..."

Wu Sheng didn't care whether she did it on purpose or not, and shouted loudly: "Qi Shan, go get dilute salt water, the more the better!"

"I'll go—" Cornina volunteered to run into the kitchen to prove her innocence.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it!" Before Wu Sheng could say anything, Qi Shan had already clarified his mission and went straight to the kitchen.

Xu Wang finally vomited out.

While patting him on the back, Wu Sheng raised his head and shouted at Han Buting: "Why are you still standing there, help!"

Han Buting: "..."

Captain Han has never been used so naturally, whether in "Owl" or in reality.

But can you do it without help?When the other party goes home, they don't want to come up with oil paintings.

Encountering this team is definitely a sin in the past life.

"What should I do?" Han Buting gritted his teeth and asked.

Wu Sheng: "Induce vomiting!"

Han Buting: "..."

Wu Sheng: "Pick their throats with your fingers..."

Han Buting: "There is no need to explain so clearly!"

Six little friends, dealing with eight poisoners, the efficiency has finally improved.

Soon, all eight of them vomited into darkness, their consciousness still blurred, but the phenomenon of waving, scratching, and flicking their fingers became lighter.

Han Buting led the team to help move people to a clean place: "It is true that we did not drink mushroom soup, but how can you be sure that it is mushroom poisoning?"

Wu Sheng put Xu Wang away gently: "This is a typical Lilliputian hallucination, a typical hallucination after a certain type of mushroom poisoning."

Li Zijin: "Lilliputian?"

Qi Shan returned in a hurry, carrying a wooden bucket that was almost full: "The light salt water is here—"

While instructing everyone to feed water to the poisoned friend, Wu Sheng explained: "The poisoned person will feel that there are many villains in front of him, making noise and provocation around him, so they will keep waving and snapping their fingers to drive them away. "

Li Zijin: "What kind of villain?"

Wu Sheng: "Different people see different villains, how do I know!"

Li Xia pulled the noisy Li Zi closer and forced him to concentrate on feeding the salt water.

Han Buting couldn't figure it out: "Since you know it so clearly, why didn't you stop them from eating the soup?"

Wu Sheng said: "The images of fresh mushrooms stored on the Internet in my brain have great differences in shape and color due to the shooting angle, and there is no way to effectively compare them with mushrooms made into soup. This is my negligence."

Han Buting: "..."

There was deep self-blame in the other party's eyes, but why he couldn't understand a word of what he said! ! !

After tossing for more than an hour, the eight poisoned friends finally settled down.

After another two hours, they woke up one after another.

Wu Sheng looked at the time, it was nearly six o'clock, but they still hadn't been bounced back to reality.

There was also movement from Xu Wang over there.

No longer thinking about it, Wu Sheng immediately helped him up: "How do you feel?"

Xu Wang tilted his head to feel it, and then swallowed twice: "It's nothing else, just a little sore throat."

Wu Sheng was a little bit regretful that he didn't do anything serious, but he was fine, he was better than anything else: "You guys are poisoned by mushrooms."

Xu Wang was stunned: "Why are you alright?"

Wu Sheng's black line, what a pity!

"I didn't drink."

"Where are they?" Xu Wang looked at Han Buting's team. Although it looked like he was tossed enough, among the blank-eyed friends, the "gloomy faces" of the whole team were more eye-catching.

"They probably didn't drink either." Wu Sheng said.

Xu Wang was puzzled: "Didn't Cornina send it up on purpose?"

Wu Sheng sighed: "Do you think they are people who can be moved by enthusiasm?"

Xu Wang nodded: "That's right."

Han Buting silently looked at the ceiling, telling himself that murder is against the law.

The night in the village is already deep.

The night wind that crept in through the crack of the door became colder and colder.

After Wei Menghan's team woke up, they sat obediently in the corner, stopped talking, and stopped joking, immersed in the "sorrow of foodie".

No one noticed that a faint shadow appeared on the wall behind them.

The shadow moved silently, followed the hiding place, and sneaked into the kitchen.

Cornina was tidying up there. The kitchen was a mess by preparing light salt water.

"what--"

As the fire was lit, Cornina screamed from the kitchen.

The friends waited all night and were tortured by the poisonous mushrooms. They were tired and sleepy now. After two seconds of screaming, they looked at each other, jumped up and ran to the kitchen!

The corner of Cornina's skirt was already on fire, so she was quick to wit and poured the remaining half bucket of water on herself, and the flames were extinguished.

When Xu Wang and the others arrived, what they saw was Cornina, whose skirt was soaking wet, and a burning ghost on the wall.

"The witch...must...be burned..."

A voice that was so shrill that it did not seem human at all reached the ears of fifteen friends, making one's scalp tingle.

The ghost pounced on Cornina again!

"Why are you still in a daze, quickly use the props—" Li Zijin was anxious for Xu Wang and the others!

Wu Sheng pulled Konina over, and the ghost fell to the ground, burning black.

"It's too early to use it," Qian Ai yelled back, "The stationery box won't move!"

Li Zijin: "Who told you to use a pencil case, props, props for love lines!"

Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, Qian Ai, Kuang Jinxin, and Qi Shan looked at him together innocently: "Huh?"

Look at each other for five seconds.

Realizing that they really had nothing, Li Zijin looked at his captain in a daze.

Han Buting was in a calm mood, as if he had eaten poisonous mushrooms, peaceful and peaceful.

The ghost image hula la opened and burned into a net of hell, netting the entire kitchen and everyone.

The splashing of water was useless, and the magic petals did not appear again.

In the deadly burning, fifteen little friends heard the call of heaven——

[Owl: Baby~ I'll be on vacation early, and I'll take you home. 】
