This Damned Thirst for Survival

The moment the lights went out, Qin Yun screamed out, and hugged Du Ge's arm, "What's wrong!"

Du Ge looked at the gray sky outside the window, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "It should be the blizzard that broke the wire."

Lian Xue comforted: "Everyone, calm down, there is still a stove in the room."

A faint ring of light from the stove illuminated the living room sofa.

Butler Yan got up and said, "There are a lot of candles in the house, please wait a moment, I'll go get the candles."

The sudden situation did not affect the two people who were executing the order at all.

Jiang Luo stopped before his lips touched Chi You, and the faint scent of perfume from the evil ghost reached the tip of his nose.Even wearing perfume... Jiang Luo's expression became weird.

He took a few breaths quietly, and couldn't help but said, "Did you do it on purpose?"

The evil ghost calmly said: "What?"

Perfume, bathrobes.

Heavy snow and wooden cottages.

Too many coincidences add up, like a trap set by evil spirits for him.

But how did Chi You know that Jiang Luo was going up the mountain today?

Jiang Luo let out a "tsk", and he straightened up neatly, but the evil ghost grabbed his wrist and smiled deeply, "Speak clearly."

"I'm sorry, I'm just trying to whet your appetite." Jiang Luo fought back mercilessly, and the two of them silently performed a few tricks in the dark, "You clearly know it well."

In the darkness, Lian Bing, who was sitting near the master's house, suddenly felt a few gusts of wind. He turned his head to look suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "Brother, savior?"

Jiang Luo separated from Chi You in an instant, and complained, "What's the name of the savior?"

Lian Bing smiled embarrassedly "hehe", and Du Ge said, "It's too dark at the dining table, let's sit by the fire."

Everyone moved to sit by the fire, and the butler quickly brought the candles. The mirror reflected the fire and candle light, and the room was finally brighter.Several young people were no longer in the mood to play games. They watched the snowstorm outside their house worriedly, but there was still no sign of it decreasing.

The wind and snow slanted, and the voices were howling ghosts and wolves.

Chi You picked up a cup of coffee, and suddenly said: "Have you heard the story of Xue Nu?"

"Snow Girl?"

The man smiled and began to tell the story. Amidst the jumping flames, the story seemed to be covered with a layer of mysterious and colorful horror.

"It is said that there is such a monster, she is called Snow Girl. Every time she appears, it will bring continuous blizzard, oh, just like now." Chi You lowered his voice.

The wind and snow outside the window whistled, as if matching his words.

"The snow girl will travel in the snow, lure the lost man, and bring the man home. When she kisses the man, the man will be frozen by the ice and snow, and the soul becomes the food for the snow girl to maintain life."

He joked: "The snow came so suddenly, is there a snow girl in this mountain?"

Everyone laughed, "You really know how to joke."

Chi You's smile remained unchanged, and he lowered his head and took a sip of his coffee.

Duanzi asked hesitantly: "Is there really a snow girl in the world?"

"The Snow Maiden is a monster that exists in foreign legends. There is no real monster similar to the Snow Maiden in our homeland, but there is a fairy whose ability is very similar to the Xue Mai." Lian Xue thought about it after reading a lot of books, "The fairy is called Snow Mountain Girl, and she is the daughter of Zhang Dadi, the mountain god of Guangde Temple. Every time she appears, it will be accompanied by heavy snow."

"Legends are legends, and these are all false," Qin Yun frowned, "Snow often happens in December, not to mention December, and now there are still snows in March and April. In the past few years What weather is there?"

Hokage danced on the faces of men and women, printing shadowy light and shadow, the cold wind seemed to seep in from the door frame, and the temperature in the air became a little lower.

Lian Xue coughed a few times, her face flushed slightly, like the prelude to a cold, "I'm sorry, I want to go back and rest first."

"Forget it, stop playing," Du Ge said, "Everyone, go back to your room and sleep."

Duan Zi hesitated and said: "Then look in the mirror at twelve o'clock at night...cancel it too."

"It should have been canceled a long time ago." Qin Yun glanced at Chi You secretly, raised his hand and straightened his hair, "How can you play this kind of game in someone else's house?"

Chi You, "No need to cancel."

He looked at Jiang Luo and teased secretly, "If you get scared, you can also run away."

Jiang Luo and him looked at each other for a few seconds, then shrugged, "Happy to accompany you."

Lian Xue looked at them hesitantly. Ordinary people don't believe it, but those who study metaphysics are extremely taboo about these things, "Well, at twelve o'clock in the evening, we will also come down with them, so you can feel at ease, what do you think? ?”

Duanzi nodded again and again, "Okay."

Du Ge said: "That's it."

There are a lot of candles in the villa, each took three, said goodbye to each other and went back to the room.The number of rooms is limited, so two by two.Lian Xue was a girl, and it was not convenient for Jiang Luo and the three of them to share a room with her, so the three big boys simply squeezed into one room.

After returning to the room and closing the door, Jiang Luo asked Lian and Qiang, "Do you think the master looks familiar?"

Lian and Qiang shook their heads blankly, "We haven't seen him before."

Jiang Luo pondered, "Does Lian's family seldom go out?"

"Very little," the two of them said obediently, "unless necessary, we will not go out of this mountain."

No wonder.

Jiang Luo thought to himself, it's no wonder Chi You dared to appear with his body in an open and aboveboard manner, not at all afraid that Lian Xue and the other three would see who he was.

There were two beds in the room, and the three of them removed the middle bedside table and combined the two beds into one big bed.

Lian Qiang and Lian Bing were used to doing things by themselves since childhood, and they made the bed neatly without asking Jiang Luo to help.After making the bed, he looked back, and saw Jiang Luo standing in front of the mirror facing the bed, thinking deeply.

Lian Qiang and Lian Bing came over, wondering, "Why are you still putting a mirror on the bedside?"

Placing a mirror facing the bedside is a taboo in Feng Shui. Except for this one, placing a mirror facing the bedroom door, placing a mirror facing the toilet door, or placing a mirror facing the toilet are all taboos for placing mirrors.

Jiang Luo said, "Take a piece of cloth and cover the mirror."

Mirrors belong to yin and will gather yin qi. Too many mirrors in the home will lead to mental weakness and even affect physical and mental health.Therefore, the placement of the mirror must be extremely careful.

Jiang Luo said that there is no problem with the feng shui pattern of this villa, referring specifically to the layout of the Nine Palaces, but when it comes to the placement of mirrors, there is not a single mirror in the entire villa that is placed in the right position.

But he didn't say it.

Although he has a cold personality, he knows how to reciprocate, and he has already noted down the problems when he visited the villa.He originally wanted to wait for the master to wake up and tell the master in person, but after seeing Chi You, oh well, there is no need to say anything.

Jiang Luo walked around in the bedroom, almost causing Lian Qiang and the others to take down all the mirrors, and then took out a portrait of Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun from the bag and pasted it on the door.

This is the boss of the Heavenly Thunder Department, the leader of the gods.He commands the thunder, and the portrait is the best way to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.

The brothers and sisters of the Lian family had many questions: "Brother, why do you have to cover these two mirrors?"

"Two mirrors should not be facing each other," Jiang Luo reminded, thinking of something, "When you go out to stay in a hotel, some hotels will put the TV at the end of the bed, right in the middle of the head of the bed. On special occasions, the TV is also A 'mirror', it's best to cover it up when you sleep."

The two suddenly realized, "Brother, we remember."

Time passed quickly, and in the middle of the night, everyone walked out of the room with a candle.

The mirrors along the way reflected the candlelight in his hand, and Jiang Luo calmly passed several mirrors with dancing flames and walked to the first floor.After a while, everyone came together.Jiang Luo looked at Lian Xue's face, she seemed a little sick, "How do you feel?"

Lian Xue shook her head with a smile, "The butler brought me a bowl of ginger soup before going to bed, and I took another pill made by myself. I'll be fine when I wake up tomorrow."

"Senior sister," Lian Bing said worriedly, "take care of your body."

It was going to be twelve o'clock soon, and the two protagonists, Jiang Luo and Chi You, walked into the bathroom ahead of time, and the seven people headed by Duan Zi were about to follow in. Chi You looked down at his watch, and there were 3 minutes left.He smiled and said to the people outside the door: "Excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom first."

Without waiting for anyone to respond, he closed the door.

Lian Qiang was stunned, "Hey, my brother is still inside."

The candles were placed on both sides of the mirror, Jiang Luo glanced at Chi You, then leaned against the wall.

The walls are slightly cool, the bathroom is cramped, and two tall men are enough to make the space even smaller.But in such a separate atmosphere, everyone inevitably recalled the memories and feelings of that time on the boat.

The pain of being possessed and the strange feeling that Jiang Luo was almost ashamed to talk about afterwards crawled along the skeletal muscles, and the pain and itching were dense and dense like ants gnawing.

But none of them mentioned that room.

Jiang Luo's face remained the same, he lowered his head and lit a cigarette. After the incident in bed, his every gesture had a mature and attractive flavor.Jiang Luo felt that someone was watching him inch by inch, as if the king was coveting the territory he had not yet conquered.

Too aggressive, the meaning of aggression and licking is intertwined, enough to make Jiang Luo's spirit excited, "Are you still up?"

He bit his cigarette butt to remind him, but the evil spirit approached him, forcing him between a wall and his icy body, "We can meet each other even in a snowstorm, classmate Jiang, the fate between you and me is wonderful."

Jiang Luo blew a puff of smoke at him, with the tails of his eyes twitching, a smile that was not a smile, "Mr. Chi, such a coincidence, it's hard not to make me suspect that you didn't do anything here."

He was holding a cigarette, and the cigarette butt swept Chi You's throat. If he was not careful, he would burn an ugly scald on the pale neck, "Tell me, what do you want to do this time again."

Chi You raised his eyebrows, just as he was about to say something, the candlelight in front of the mirror behind him suddenly trembled.

It's twelve o'clock.

The door was knocked by someone outside, "Are you okay? It's time."

Jiang Luo sneered, pushed Chi You away, and let others walk in.

The bathroom is not big, and it is even more crowded after standing so much.The crowd was so crowded that I couldn't even move my arms.Jiang Luo was huddled together with the evil ghost, his back pressed against his chest, the distance was too ambiguous.

Jiang Luo tried his best to remain calm and looked at the mirror, but the muscles all over his body tensed uncontrollably.He heard a chuckle behind him, and a few strands of hair were picked up by someone.

A vein popped out of Jiang Luo's forehead, and he was about to teach him a lesson, but the candlelight in the bathroom suddenly flickered violently.

This will be the time of the child, the most cloudy moment.Jiang Luo looked into the mirror, and the faces of these people were reflected in the mirror. Under the dim light, their complexions were as pale as death.Against the dark background, the gray mirror is like a strange mist.There was obviously no wind in the bathroom, but the candlelight was struggling as if being blown by the wind, as if it would be annihilated in the next second.

"What's wrong with this?" Li Xiao tremblingly held Duan Zi's arm.

"Get out," Jiang Luo was well versed in the credo of running away when something goes wrong, and shouted to the person closest to the door, "Lian Qiang, open the door!"

Lian Qiang was already opening the door, and he shouted profusely in sweat, "Brother, the door cannot be opened!"

Lian Bing rushed forward to help, but the door remained motionless.

Qin Yun screamed, pointed to the mirror and said, "Ah, there are ghosts!"

Jiang Luo subconsciously looked at the mirror, only to see a red light flashing on the mirror, and the next moment, severe pain hit him. He closed his eyes, and before he could make any resistance, he fell into the darkness.

The black-haired young man fell backwards and was caught by a pair of pale hands in time.

In the bathroom at this time, apart from the evil spirits who were still standing, there were people who had already fallen down on the ground.

Chi You's face was moody, he hugged Jiang Luo horizontally, ignored the other people on the ground, and put Jiang Luo on the sofa in the living room.

"come out."

The lights suddenly brightened, and Steward Yan appeared in the corner, and said respectfully, "Master."

Chi You looked down at Jiang Luo, the black-haired young man was unconscious, as if he was the most exquisite doll.

His tone was cold, "What's going on."

Steward Yan tore off the beads in his hand, and his wrinkled face suddenly became smooth and young, and the good-looking Buddha bent slightly, "Amitabha. Master, these people have been trapped in a formation, and their souls have been pulled into the mirror." Middle World."

"I know," Chi You said, "I remember I asked you to break this formation."

"But isn't the master curious?" Ge Wuchen's eyes flickered, he looked at Jiang Luo, and said curiously, "Someone specially arranged a house here, and arranged a formation in the house. I found these again People gathered together, what exactly are the people behind the scenes trying to do?"

"You and I replaced the two roles in this scene, so we can quietly observe the direction of the matter, and see what role Jiang Luo's benefactor plays in it... and whether the person behind the scenes is It is the one we have been looking for for many years."

Ge Wuchen said: "Master, that's why I think the mirror array is kept as it is."

After he finished speaking, he bent deeply and straightened up.But the evil spirit still stood still, like a terrible stone statue.

Ge Wuchen suddenly felt bad.

As Chi You's subordinates, they are very familiar with Chi You's character.When Chi You is smiling, it doesn't mean he's in a happy mood.On the contrary, the deeper his smile and the higher the corners of his lips raised, the more displeasure he felt in his heart.

But when Chi You has no expression at all, it's even more terrifying than when he doesn't smile.

This means that his hostility has reached the point of murder.

Ge Wuchen squeezed the Buddha beads tightly, and immediately admitted his mistake, "Master..."

But before he finished speaking, the black mist behind Chi You stretched out suddenly, wrapping its teeth and claws around Ge Wuchen.Ge Wuchen was dragged into the air by the black mist clutching his neck, and his head touched the ceiling.

Another black mist condensed into the shape of a hand, passing through the flesh and blood from Ge Wuchen's chest, the pain of the black mist invading the flesh and blood was severe, Ge Wuchen's eyes widened instantly, and the veins on his soft neck were exposed.

The black palm came to Ge Wuchen's heart, Xu Xu held the heart.

The heart beat faster because of the threat.The blood vessels spouted and contracted again and again.

"Ge Wuchen," his master said, "If there is another time, I will crush your heart."

Ge Wuchen's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth trembled and he said: "I, know...wrong, master..."

The black mist dissipated, and Ge Wuchen fell to the ground.

Chi You looked at him sideways, his deep eyes were full of ice, "Don't test my attitude towards Jiang Luo again."

Ge Wuchen supported himself on his knees, "Yes, master, I will not make such a mistake again."

Chi You turned to look at Jiang Luo.

After a while, the aura around him began to become irritable and dark, "Go find a way to let me enter the mirror world."

"Master, it's not easy. The mirror world can't bear your strength," Ge Wuchen coughed out a mouthful of blood, and said humbly, "Please give me two days."
