Strange story player

In the B\u0026B, Qin Manjiang has not yet fallen asleep.

He looked at the heavy rain outside the window and kept thinking over and over again.

This strange story came too quickly for him. One moment he was in the midst of the [Resurrection] strange story, and the next second he was forcibly pulled into the [Wedding Dress].

In Qiaojiacun, he learned something about Zhong Xueran from the old Taoist.

Her origin should not be simple, she is probably the Zhong family mentioned by the old Taoist, that... family that will enter the world of ghost stories for generations.

No wonder the only permanent prop that matches her soul is the Taoist [Sanqing Bell]. Everyone in the Zhong family should all have [Sanqing Bell]. What is the origin of the one-time prop [Single Purple Bell]?

Perhaps only Zhong Xueran knows this secret. She is the person who knows the [Pupillary Realm] best.

However, whether it was Zhong Xueran or Xu Yi, Qin Manjiang felt that something was not right this time.

Xu Yi rarely played around, and Zhong Xueran no longer chirped energetically.

He had a vague feeling that something was going to happen to those two people...

Therefore, we must be quick and find the key to breaking the game as soon as possible. We must not make mistakes and there is no chance for trial and error. We must succeed the first time!

In fact, after Jiang Du's reminder, Qin Manjiang had seen through the phenomenon and grasped the key point.

The most bizarre thing about this [Wedding Dress] strange story is that at almost the same moment, the same curse or ghost will appear in every place. If it is not a clone, there are too many of them. If it is a clone, then the ability of this ghost Too much again.

And whether there are too many ghosts or too many abilities, it is simply unrealistic to find potential restrictive rules one by one.

Therefore, all the abnormal phenomena, all the ghosts and curses are probably a few kites held in one hand.

And the owner of that palm... is Liu Junyan.

Regardless of whether he is dead or alive, and what state he is in at the moment, as long as he is dealt with, this can all end.

However, according to Qin Manjiang's speculation, Liu Junyan is most likely still alive. His purpose is too strong, and ghosts... do not have these "anthropomorphic" purposes.

Yes, the primary goal now is to find Liu Junyan!

As long as he is still alive, there is a way, whether it is to break his hands and feet, or simply kill him, it can effectively prevent the continuation of this strange story.

As soon as he thought about this, Qin Manjiang immediately picked up his cell phone and dialed Xu Yi's number.

"beep--"

"beep--"

"beep--"

I did not answer.

Have you encountered any accidents?

Qin Manjiang immediately changed Zhong Xueran's number and dialed it.

This time, the call was picked up quickly.

However, when Qin Manjiang picked up the phone, what he heard was Zhong Xueran's trembling voice: "Save him... Please, save him!"

In the noisy wind and rain, Zhong Xueran's voice was like a small boat in the raging waves of a mad wolf, which would capsize if not careful.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Manjiang's heart skipped a beat. Did something happen to Xu Yi?

"Xu Yi has been wearing the [Nuo Opera Mask] for more than three minutes..."

Zhong Xueran's voice was also a little weak. Although her condition was better than Xu Yi's, it didn't seem to be much better.

Nuo opera mask?

Qin Manjiang knew about that thing. He had never been very enthusiastic about exchanging disposable items, but after having more than a hundred spiritual pupils and unlocking almost all the disposable items, he had roughly looked at them.

The function of the Nuo opera mask is very strange. Is it an escape prop? It can't scare real ghosts.

Let's say it has combat capabilities, but it only has a superficial appearance. It's just a paper tiger that exudes a terrifying aura.

The only use Qin Manjiang could think of was to use it to sneak into some special place that only ghosts could enter.

To put it simply, the purpose of that thing is to act like a ghost.

But what's the point of pretending to be a ghost?

Scary?

Qin Manjiang thought quickly, and comforted him: "Don't worry, are you in the old city now?"

In the old city, heavy rain was still falling. Zhong Xueran took his mobile phone and quickly replied: "Yes... let's come to the old locust tree to find Shen Hong's body."

"A group of zombie-like skinny ghosts surrounded us. Xu Yi put on a mask to lead me out of trouble. Now those things are still following behind. Xu Yi has been wearing this mask for more than three minutes..."

Zhong Xueran explained the current situation as concisely as possible.

Qin Manjiang didn't speak for a long time.

She was anxious and scared. She could clearly feel that the familiar Xu Yi was disappearing...

Xu Yi has been moving forward.

The only thing that can be seen on this mask are the eyes, and Xu Yi's eyes have long been unconscious.

Zhong Xueran finally understood what Xu Yi meant by believing in him.

What he wanted to tell her was that even if he could no longer take off the mask, even if he had to use almost all his will to fight against the mask, he could still retain the last remaining bit of consciousness and lead her out of this old and decayed place.

right……

Old and decayed.

This old city is just like the Taoist temple where Zhong Xueran grew up.

Adhering to some ancestral precepts that appear to be just but actually cruel.

All the descendants of the Zhong family have no life of their own from the day they are born. It seems that the only meaning of their existence is to leave their bloodline, then enter the [Pupillary Realm] and die.

Zhong Xueran knew her fate when she was very young. Her nature made her feel that this was not right or appropriate.

But the education she received from a young age told her that this is your fate, and you have to accept your fate.

Her natural personality and the education she received have always made her live in an extremely contradictory way, just like her name, which contains both snow and burning.

The fire will go out and the snow will melt.

If you want to merge two opposite natures into one, the final result can only be that they will both be destroyed.

But it wasn't until today, or rather until now, that she realized that there was such a person who had actually been paying attention to her.

He had long discovered her contradictions and seen through her disguise. He had been trying to push away the layer of old snow covering her body. He saw that deep in her soul... it was burning. of flames.

At this time, Qin Manjiang's voice came from Zhong Xueran's cell phone:

"Take off the mask! It's not the mask that stops them from attacking, it's Liu Junyan's order!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Manjiang fell into silence. It had been more than three minutes. Can this mask still be taken off?

At least... Xu Yi himself has lost consciousness and it is impossible to take it off on his own initiative.

But Zhong Xueran, who received Qin Manjiang's answer, seemed to have found his last hope.

She immediately reached out her hand and dug at the edge of the mask.

At the moment of contact, the iron Nuo opera mask immediately pierced with sharp black nails, piercing Zhong Xueran's fingertips and bleeding.

The protruding claws of the mask have penetrated deeply into Xu Yi's flesh and blood, and it seems to have its own consciousness, preventing others from taking it off.

However, Zhong Xueran didn't care. She completely ignored the sharp blade piercing the edge of the mask and grabbed it. Her fingernails dug into the edge of the mask, blood seeping from her nails, and some even turned over because of too much force. Come over, but she seems to be completely unable to feel this heart-wrenching pain...

At this moment, she only had one thought, take it off... take off this mask!

Big raindrops hit the two of them chaotically. Xu Yi's upper body was already covered in blood, and it was no longer clear which was the blood on his face and which was the blood on Zhong Xueran's fingertips.

He walked forward in silence, holding Zhong Xueran tightly, with only this consciousness left.

Zhong Xueran, on the other hand, had completely forgotten everything around her. All her fingers were broken and her palms were pricked to a bloody pulp. She only had one consciousness left... to save him.

In the B\u0026B, Qin Manjiang could no longer hear the sounds over there, but he knew that the probability of saving Xu Yi was very low.

So low that only the last trace remains.

However, he has always had good luck, and I hope... this time too.
