A retired swordsman who opened a shop in the end [Quick Transmigration]

"You'll be out of luck, they hate unruly people."

After the little girl whispered again, she kept her head bent and stretched out her hand to Bai Qingxian.

Bai Qingxian took a step aside, and handed the red paper to the little girl's hand in front of everyone.

In the next second, everyone saw that the piece of paper that should have fallen into the little girl's hand suddenly floated upwards. After slowly floating into the air, the red piece of paper was inexplicably ignited, just like that in midair. Burnt to ashes.

"Thank you." The little girl with her head crooked suddenly grinned strangely.

"Is this considered to be the completion of the task?" Chen Heqing wrapped the clothes on his body a little tighter, obviously the dead soul didn't know the heat and cold, but he always had a chilly feeling on his body at the moment.

"Forget it." Bai Qingxian turned and went downstairs, and the little girl on the stairs was still standing there without moving.

Although before entering the level, that brother Qi specifically told any "ghosts" not to help newcomers in the level, but Bai Qingxian always felt that this rule was not suitable for "inner ghosts".

Boss Bai watched a lot of movies in the last world, and felt that the identity of the inner ghost is generally the protagonist’s friend, relative or even mentor. In short, the more the protagonist trusts the person, the more the plot will be reversed after the identity is revealed.

If you really ignore the newcomers in the level as Qi Ge said, even if the identity of the inner ghost is finally revealed, other people will not have other emotions besides surprise, right?

"Congratulations everyone for completing the first small task. You only need to complete a total of 24 small tasks within 24 hours, and you can truly enter the new world." Chigo's voice also came to everyone's ears from a certain corner .

"Remember, do what you have to do."

Brother Qi's last sentence is not so much a reminder to Chen Heqing and the others, but a reminder to the "ghost" in the level and Bai Qingxian whose behavior has gone a little bit wrong.

Where will this level end up?

Boss Bai lightly moved his fingers, he could feel that the connection between himself and the sword box and the Xiaoyao Station had not been broken, but because Bai Qingxian did not bring the Qingyao Station with him this time, if he wanted to bring the sword weapon, those The sword might have to travel half of the Nightmare City to come to him.

A total of 24 tasks, the first task is to ask for a piece of paper that does not exist.

Bai Qingxian hoped that the cruelty behind these missions was just his illusion, and that they just didn't find the real red paper hidden in a certain place.

But if the person who designed the task really wanted to use blood to dye a page of the book red, what kind of crashing request would the later stage of this task chain be?In other words, the person who designed the entire plot never thought of continuing this task until the later stage.

Thinking that the whole level is just a good show watched by the Evil Ghost Alliance, Bai Qingxian can almost imagine what the scene in the auditorium will be like at this moment. Maybe there is a group of souls who have turned into evil spirits clamoring to let the newcomers in the level cut their hands. Remove the heart, even remove the head.

Bai Qingxian didn't know what would happen to his soul after his hands and feet were cut off or his heart was dug out. Maybe he wouldn't die, but he would definitely no longer be complete.

Along the way, Bai Qingxian didn't see too many grotesque souls, but presumably it was because few people liked this terrifying sense of incompleteness.Even Daegu who brought Bai Qingxian into the auditorium before, the deep wound on his neck was still well stitched.

So even if there are some abnormal souls who like to toss their bodies, they may be just a very small number that Bai Qingxian has not seen with his own eyes.

At least the three newcomers standing in front of Bai Qingxian should not have similar hobbies.

But if they continue to use cruel methods to complete tasks, even if they can continue to live, their spirits will soon collapse.

He can draw a harmless wound on the opponent's body, but he will not chop off the opponent's limbs or dig out the opponent's internal organs.

Just as Bai Qingxian was thinking about what to do, there was another sound of opening the door on the second floor.

"Squeak-"

Everyone looked up, and suddenly found a figure in white pajamas beside the railing on the second floor, with long black hair covering his face, and a "baby" in his arms. Similar horror stories.

The female ghost in white went down two steps like the little ghost, then stopped there and did not continue going downstairs.

Bai Qingxian watched the second actor come to the little girl's side, and then the little ghost straightened his bent head stiffly like a machine, turned his head and looked at the female ghost beside him, and then looked at all the people participating in the level. People say--

"Help us, my brother is missing...a pair of eyes."

When the little ghost said this, the female ghost beside him held up the plastic baby in her arms, so that Bai Qingxian and the others could see the two black holes where the plastic baby had no eyes.

At the same time as the announcement of the second mission, the outside auditorium, which Bai Qingxian didn't know, was full of cheers that could lift the ceiling, and all the members of the Evil Ghost League were looking forward to the reaction of the newcomers in the level.

And Chen Heqing and Yanzi were obviously stunned there as expected by the "audience".

"Eyes?" Chen Heqing asked dryly, "Are you talking about the doll's eyes?"

Although the stairs were a bit high, they were all able to tell the difference between a normal baby and a toy.

"Help us, my brother is missing a pair of eyes." The little girl just couldn't help but glanced at these newcomers with pity, repeating the lines that had been arranged long ago.

"Me, let's look around." From the very beginning, Chen Heqing felt that he was the most adaptable of all of them. Although Bai Qingxian's act of scratching the wound just now made him doubt this, but this will Er still subconsciously regarded himself as the team leader, "Maybe the doll's eyes are hidden somewhere on the first floor."

But Bai Qingxian knew that they might not be able to find the doll's eyes.

Whether it is the "ghost" in this level, the designer of the level, or the outside audience, what they really want is not the eyes of a doll, but to see Chen Heqing, Yanzi and Xiang Jun, who is willing to sacrifice themselves? eyes as the price for customs clearance.

And this is only the second task.

However, because of Yanzi and the others, they all started to rummage through boxes and cabinets again, and Bai Qingxian also started to walk deep along the corridor on the first floor, and soon reached the door of the servant's room.Originally, Boss Bai only intended to take a casual look, but found a bent figure leaning on a cane standing beside the bed in the servant's room.

The other party even waved to Bai Qingxian.

Bai Qingxian turned to look at Chen Heqing and the others who were still rummaging in the hall, then walked into the servant's room without changing expression.

"Don't worry, there is only one tracking shot, and I won't waste it on the inner ghost, otherwise I have been warned now." The third old woman actor who has not yet appeared on the stage has half of her face burned, but she is in the dark. The tone was very gentle at the time.

"Young man, you are different from the actor who played the inner ghost before." The old woman said another sentence before Bai Qingxian could speak.

"Why do you say that?" Bai Qingxian has a crown of thorns hidden in his body, so he has a strange feeling when he looks at all the souls in this nightmare city. After all, these people in front of him can be regarded as his citizens.

"I don't seem to have done anything special, but I just did a lot of things that I don't seem to be able to do." Bai Qingxian said the last sentence very lightly.

In fact, the existence of the entire checkpoint world makes Boss Bai feel unhappy. If this nightmare city can really feel the emotions of the city owner, then the world outside the auditorium may have already happened because of Bai Qingxian's current emotions. climate change.

"Archie told us not to help the newcomers, there is a reason for him." The old woman was much younger than Bai Qingxian, but now she seemed to be able to see Bai Qingxian's current state of mind through the darkness, "Although you haven't had time to help them, you've already felt annoyed because of your premonition of what happened to them, haven't you?"

"You seem to understand this kind of mood?" Bai Qingxian is not a saint, but he knows that whether it is the once confident Chen Heqing or the timid Yanzi, they are not criminals in life or after death.

As long as it is not a ghost, no one can turn a blind eye.

"Every participant will go through this process, but we can't do anything, we can't do anything." The old lady shook her head while repeating her helpless words, "It is because our little souls can't resist and save us." No, that's why Archie told us to give up, let us be completely outsiders, let us try to strip our emotions in the level."

"Although it is difficult to do, when we try to do it, our hearts will not be so sad." The old lady sighed, "We are not demons, and Nightmare City is no longer the same as it was decades ago." No matter what our souls look like, they are actually just the most ordinary souls."

"Really... Can't do anything?" Bai Qingxian lightly moved her fingers by her side.

Some people are helpless.

But some people can't do anything.

"The Evil Ghost Alliance is the biggest force in the entire Nightmare City, and standing behind the Evil Ghost Alliance is the City Lord who holds the power of life and death in this Nightmare City. Even those immigrants with powerful bone tools, because they dare not offend the City Lord Don't act rashly." The old lady stood in the dark and looked at Bai Qingxian, "Young man, if you want to really save the newcomers who have entered the checkpoint with the outsiders now, you must confront the evil ghost alliance head-on, do you know what this means? "

"Those beings that are much stronger than us can't do anything, what can we do?"

"Maybe there is one person who can change all of this." Bai Qingxian's eyes also showed a trace of fatigue, and the comfort brought by decades of retreat seemed to have disappeared because of the oppression of this nightmare city.

"Who?"

"The Lord City Lord standing behind Nightmare City." Bai Qingxian looked at the old lady who kindly persuaded him, and smiled again, "If the Lord City Lord is willing to take action, the whole situation will change, right? ?”

"How is it possible? I had the honor to meet the Lord City Lord, who sat on the legendary black thorn seat, and the seat of the Lord of the Evil Ghost Alliance was on the same row as that Lord." The old woman obviously did not believe Bai Qingxian. Said "if".

"You may not believe it." The old lady continued, "When the leader of the evil ghost alliance and the city lord are sitting together, the leader is the one who stands up and gives orders, and the city lord just sits there and keeps nodding in agreement, even... …even looked like a puppet."

When the old woman finished speaking, her voice was too low to be heard.

"It's really unbelievable." Bai Qingxian met the second person who claimed to have seen the city lord, and no matter what he said, he was not lying.

In other words, there really is a city lord behind the evil ghost alliance.

A city lord who obediently sat there and listened to the leader of the Evil Ghost League give orders?

"But this is the truth." The old woman waved her hand to Bai Qingxian, "Now that you understand the cruelty of reality, you should hurry back to the hall and let this level continue."

"This level will not continue." Bai Qingxian half-closed her eyes and smiled, "Because there will be accidents."

"Accident?" The old woman who was about to hide in the darkness paused.

"Maybe it was a sudden natural disaster."

After Bai Qingxian left a word, she turned and left the servant's room.

Nightmare City will usher in natural disasters due to the negative emotions of the city lord, and Bai Jianxian, who is always smiling and calm, seems to be the best candidate for the city lord.

But cultivators are not without emotions, they are just better at hiding their emotions.

When everything erupts, both Nightmare City and Bai Qingxian itself will become... an unprecedented natural disaster!
