The Midnight Owl

Cornina's cabin.

"...The above is all your black history." Qian Ai took the thermos from Kuang Jinxin and drank the warm tea in it. After talking for a long time, his throat finally eased, and finally he returned it to his teammates. Admonish, "Next time you can put some goji berries."

Chi Yingxue frowned slightly: "Did I really push Xiao Kuang down?"

"No, it was you and I who died together." Kuang Jinxin put the thermos back into his backpack and corrected.

The disapproval on Chi Yingxue's face deepened, and after a while, she nodded with a sigh: "It's the style of Hades."

"Don't think it's over if you don't remember one sentence," Qian Ai had to remind this teammate, "You and Yan Wang are now using the same account. If he kills someone, you will still be famous."

Qian Ai didn't understand dual personalities, so he decided on one. People have to be responsible for what they did. At least, he had to let Chi Yingxue know what the other person did. If it was just like this, there would be no psychological burden. After joining the team, Kuang Jinxin has a good personality and can endure, but he can't stand it.

"I apologize to you on behalf of Hades." Chi Yingxue looked at Kuang Jinxin, calmed down and said seriously.

Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai had different ideas, and he didn't know why, so he could naturally separate Yan Wang and Chi Yingxue and treat them as two people: "It has nothing to do with you."

Chi Yingxue thought it was angry words, but after looking at it, she found that Kuang Jinxin really didn't have anger or grudges in his eyes, on the contrary, there was doubt that couldn't be hidden.

Along the way, there were question marks in his eyes.

Rarely, Chi Yingxue was a little curious: "Do you want to ask something?"

Kuang Jinxin had a lot to ask, but he happened to be talking about the Ferris wheel, so he took advantage of the opportunity to ask this: "Why did Yama jump off with me, do you know?"

Chi Yingxue paused, something flashed in her eyes, too fast to see clearly.

"I don't know," he smiled, helplessly, "Yan Wang's character has never been unstable, and no one knows what's going on in his mind."

"Even you don't know?" Qian Ai didn't expect it.

Chi Yingxue sighed softly: "I only know that as soon as he comes out, no matter how well-knit the team is, they will be disturbed by him."

"Necessary, who would dare to want someone like him." Qian Ai felt relieved to have found a confidant, but when he thought that the one who complained was the confidant himself, and then the confidant followed suit, a little weirdness appeared in his relief.

"You...hate Hades?" Kuang Jinxin asked softly, always worried that if the voice was too loud, Hades would hear it.

Chi Yingxue looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly raised her hand, gently caressed his cheek, traced his brow bone with her thumb, and murmured: "If you always have to compete with another person for the right to live, you will like it." him?"

Kuang Jinxin was arrested.He remained motionless and forgot to even breathe.

He suddenly had a feeling that what Chi Yingxue was looking at was not himself, but another reflection of Chi Yingxue in his pupils.

"What are you doing!" Qian Ai knocked off Chi Yingxue's hand, and pulled Kuang Jinxin over, his face wrinkled so that his facial features were all united, "If you have something to say, it's disgusting, what are you touching!"

Chi Yingxue looked at her reddened hand, and her eyes suddenly became a little dazed, as if she had lost three parts of her soul.

"Damn, I'll just hit you, you don't need to be so good at acting..." The sudden silence made Qian Ai feel a little nervous.

Chi Yingxue suddenly clicked on the flower roster and tilted her head to look at it for a few seconds.

Then, slowly raised his eyes, his eyes slid past him and fell on the face of Kuang Jinxin beside him.

"Kuuuu... Jin Xin?" His tone was extremely light, with a slightly swaying ending, slightly seductive.

Qian Ai swallowed her saliva, and together with Kuang Jinxin, she rubbed back: "If you continue to play tricks like this, I'll just kick him—"

The corners of Chi Yingxue's mouth curled up, and a hint of naughtiness flashed in her eyes, as if a child had thought of some prank.

"Little Four Gold." He happily announced Kuang Jinxin's new name, without any intention of asking for the owner's opinion.

Kuang Jinxin stared at him blankly, he cared more about Chi Yingxue than he got a nickname, he always felt that the person in front of him was different.

"Are you... the King of Hades?" He asked cautiously.

For a moment, Chi Yingxue's smile froze in his eyes.

In the next moment, several emotions suddenly surged in the beautiful eyes, joy, anger, doubt, understanding, all irrelevant, just mixed together in such a simple and rude way, intertwined into a ball of psychedelic colors.

"Go away—" Chi Yingxue suddenly yelled, her brows were full of dark clouds.

No one can tell whether it is yelling at outsiders or at another self in the body.

Anyway, Qian Ai directly picked up Kuang Jinxin, turned into "Rampaging Lightning Money", and rushed to the corner of the room. If the crack in the wall was wide enough, he could fit it in.

"This fucking is going to transform..." At this moment, Qian Ai suddenly missed the evil spirit. At least the evil spirit has a clear goal and direct means, and the small fire it carries can dispel the darkness!

Chi Yingxue stood up vigorously, looking around like a trapped animal, her movements looked anxious, but her eyes were full of darkness.

"Wardrobe," he seemed to be struggling with the power in his body, his voice was terribly deep, "Is there a wardrobe!"

"Upstairs bedroom!" Now he just wants gold bars, and Qian Ai can smelt them for him.

Chi Yingxue dashed upstairs.

Soon, there was a messy movement from above, and then, there was a sound of "boom--" that was suspected to be the wardrobe door closing.

The world is quiet.

Qian Ai hugged Kuang Jinxin to his chest for a long time, but his embrace was not loose.

Kuang Jinxin struggled and raised his head, and asked, "Do you want to protect me, or are you afraid that you need to hug something?"

Qian Ai: "..."

Reluctantly letting go of his teammates, Qian Ai skipped asking questions and directly issued a ban: "From now on, you are not allowed to approach Chi Yingxue within a radius of one meter!"

Kuang Jinxin knew that Qian Ai was worried, but he was still a little embarrassed: "What about during the battle?"

"Not to mention," Qian Ai said without hesitation, "At that time, let the opponent go to his side, and guarantee that one will scare the other to death, and two will scare the other crazy."

Kuang Jinxin made up the picture in his head, and was amused: "If the King of Hades knows that you miss him so much, he will definitely be angry."

Qian Ai digested it for a while before catching up with Kuang Jinxin's idea of ​​"Chi Yingxue and Yan Wang will naturally separate", curious about his conclusion: "Chi Yingxue won't be angry anymore?"

"He won't," Kuang Jinxin thought for a while before shaking his head, "He doesn't care about this."

There were footsteps on the stairs.

Qian Ai stood in front of Kuang Jinxin, fully on guard.

Chi Yingxue walked down slowly, her complexion was not very good, her lips were a little pale, but she had already calmed down. Seeing their guarded looks, she smiled ashamedly, half apologizing and half explaining: "I said too many bad things about him just now, I'm not happy gone."

"Can he hear us talking?" Qian Ai was shocked, and forgot to pursue what he was scared just now, and his curiosity came online again.

Chi Yingxue nodded slightly: "As long as he wants, he can."

Kuang Jinxin asked: "And then, do you remember?"

Chi Yingxue looked at him leisurely, as if she knew what he was going to ask: "Yes. But if it's changed, if he comes forward, I'm dormant, so I can't hear or see, and of course I have no memory."

Being seen through did not make Kuang Jinxin feel uncomfortable. He asked seriously, "Why?"

Chi Yingxue shrugged: "He is more domineering than me."

Kuang Jinxin said: "But you are the master personality."

"It is precisely because the main personality is cowardly, evasive, and afraid of facing pain that a secondary personality will be born." Chi Yingxue smiled, but her eyes were cold, "The main personality is the most useless."

"Mushroom soup is ready—" Cornina came enthusiastically with the same pot as yesterday.

Qian Aila watched Kuang Jinxin take a big step back, and just by smelling it, it was as if she saw a villain dancing in the white hot steam coming out of the mouth of the pot.

Chi Yingxue was popularized by her new teammate about the mushroom soup story. She had no interest in putting herself at risk, so she helped Konina put the soup away, and said gently, "We'll do it ourselves, you can do other things."

Cornina insisted: "I will help you."

Chi Yingxue didn't care, seeing that she was persistent, she let her go.

After finishing the soup, Cornina turned and went back to the kitchen.

The fragrance filled the living room, which was a huge test for Qian Ai. Fortunately, he was prepared and took out a very small glass bottle from his pocket, the liquid inside was emerald green and transparent.

Refreshing artifact - Fengyoujing.

With the small green bottle in hand, the color and fragrance are all gone. Smell it under the nose, detoxification and refreshment.

When classmate Qian was intoxicated by the fragrance of essential oils, Kuang Jinxin noticed the blood on Chi Yingxue's cuff.

It wasn't there when I ran upstairs.

"How did you stop him?" Kuang Jinxin was sure that the one in front of him was still Chi Yingxue. Naturally, Hades, who only came out for a moment, was driven back again.

Chi Yingxue frowned because of the smell of Fengyoujing, and she lost her mind for a moment when she heard this.

"Is he afraid of the wardrobe?" Kuang Jinxin asked more specifically.

"No," Chi Yingxue raised her head and said amusedly, "He's afraid of the dark."

"Afraid of the dark?" Kuang Jinxin didn't expect such an answer, and muttered to himself, "Like a child."

"Bear child," Chi Yingxue said like a tortured adult, admonishing the young man who had never suffered, "You won't like it."

Kuang Jinxin suddenly quieted down, staring fixedly at his cuff.

Chi Yingxue followed his gaze and saw the red stain there.

After a long silence, he pulled up his sleeve, and there was a new wound on the inside of his forearm, which seemed to be scratched with a nail or other not-so-sharp objects, and the wound was rough.

"The blackness is for him, and the pain is for me." Chi Yingxue raised her eyes, looked over lightly, and smiled softly, "This is my method."

Kuang Jinxin was fine, and sat back in the corner with peace of mind.

Qian Ai smelled the balm, listened to this bunch of chattering conversations, and forced herself to be quiet in the irritability.

Chi Yingxue sat at the table, guarding a pot of poisonous mushrooms, resting her chin with one hand, watching the moonlight outside the window.

This is what Xu Wang and Wu Sheng saw when they came back.

When the three teammates heard the sound, they all looked towards the door. Kuang Jinxin was the first to get up, and rushed over like a puppy, his eyes sparkling, full of anticipation: "Captain, brother Sheng, did you find anything?"

"It's all about discovery." With joy on his brows, Xu Wang walked quickly to the center of the living room, sat on the floor, and carefully held out a small cluster of light blue flowers from his arms.

There are seven or eight stems in that cluster of flowers, and five or six light blue flowers hang down from each stem, some are fully bloomed, some are in bud, and the rhizomes are intertwined, or they share one root, but that There is no soil on the rhizome, but a small piece of bark.

Wu Sheng called Cornina out of the kitchen, and sat in a circle with his teammates.

"It put out the fire and saved you." Xu Wang and Konina said.

Cornina looked at the cluster of flowers, still at a loss: "Where do these flowers grow? I really don't remember at all, I have seen them before."

"You haven't seen it before," Xu Wang said, "It grows on that tree in the small square."

Cornina: "On a tree?"

Xu Wang: "Yes, we have been looking for it for a long time on the extremely tall tree trunk, which is blocked by leaves and branches."

"He stepped on my shoulder to look for it." Wu Junshi, who had been quiet since entering the door, said the first sentence to add details.

Xu Wang ignored him, but did not hinder the use of the other party's knowledge base: "This is an epiphytic flower, which attaches to rocks or tree trunks. It doesn't need soil and can grow with fog, dew, and rain."

Wu Junshi insisted on the sense of presence: "When we wanted to pluck it from the tree, we were attacked by branches."

The hard work finally paid off, and Konina looked at him with some fear, her voice trembling: "The attack of the tree...?"

"Well, it's like being alive, throwing branches and attacking us." Wu Sheng said.

Cornina was startled and frightened: "The tree by the square has been there since I was born, and has never had a vision..."

"But when we were attacked and fell to the ground, the flower fell by itself," Xu Wang said, "I think it wants us to bring it to you."

Cornina couldn't hear anything anymore, she was in a daze.

Xu Wang and Wu Sheng looked at each other, both disappointed. They thought that bringing flowers back would trigger some plot, but looking at it now, they were too optimistic.

Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin are still digesting the issues of "epiphytic flowers" and "trees beating people", but Chi Yingxue has already asked further: "Are there only these clues?"

Xu Wang said, "There are more."

Chi Yingxue asked: "What is it?"

Xu Wang didn't speak in a hurry.

Chi Yingxue waited patiently, with only one kind of light in his eyes, focused, as if at this moment, there were only clues and papers in his world.

Xu Wang thought that he was somewhat sure about people, and indeed he couldn't see malice or anything else from Chi Yingxue.

"There are two more things," Xu Wang said, sharing the clues with all his teammates, "We went to find York..."

The three friends listened carefully, and Cornina raised her head sharply.

Xu Wang looked at the latter: "York said that he actually likes you too, but Amy told him that you don't like him."

"How is it possible, I asked Amy to help me confess..." Cornina suddenly covered her mouth, as if she understood, the circles of her eyes were reddened in disbelief.

"Yes, Amy not only didn't help you confess, but also told York that you rejected him," Xu Wang said, "and on the night that Amy lied to York, she was attacked by flower petals..."

Cornina looked at the cluster of flowers on the ground.

"Yes, that's it," Xu Wang sighed, "I don't know if it's male or female, or it has no gender, but obviously, it likes you, after attacking Amy, it floated away, and finally landed in your house roof."

"my home?"

"And unfortunately, Amy followed secretly, so she concluded that you know magic and are a witch."

Cornina trembled suddenly, she hugged herself lightly, and it took a long time before the trembling became less severe.

Xu Wang knew that the girl thought of it: "It was Amy who reported you to the village."

Knowing magic, or having a relationship with magic, is a mortal sin in this era, and it will make all ignorant people fear.

"York knows all these things?" Although Chi Yingxue has never experienced yesterday, she entered the plot very quickly, and her reaction was quick, and her logic was online, which Xu Wang did not expect.

"York doesn't know, but a priest in the village knows," Xu Wang said. "This is the second thing I'm going to talk about. After Amy reported on Cornina, she went to confess to the priest and told everything to the priest. said."

Kuang Jinxin didn't understand: "If Amy thinks it's right to report on the witch, why does she have to repent?"

"Because she lied to York." Qian Ai suspected that Kuang Jinxin didn't listen to the first half of class.

Xu Wang added: "The priest said that her fear was bred in the soil of jealousy. Her denunciation was not only fearful, but also selfish. She knew her sin."

Wu Sheng did not speak, this field does not belong to his discipline.

Chi Yingxue burst out laughing, for the first time since joining the team, she couldn't hold back her laughter at all, the corners of her mouth were raised wantonly, and together with her bent eyebrows, there was a hint of brilliance.

After laughing, he looked at them, his eyes were like looking at a group of innocent and ignorant children: "Wicked people will never repent for their evil deeds. They pray and confide, just to continue to do evil with peace of mind."
