Balian looked at him with peaceful eyes, as if looking at a vicious dog trapped in the darkness and unable to find a way out.
"In the attic, the girl who answered your question said that every few days, someone drags a woman out from the crowd and strangles her alive. They know that this is a haunted house where evil spirits are rampant, but she is talking about someone, not someone. There are ghosts, so Ji Ting, tell me, before we came here, who was in the deserted house..." He asked softly: "Who was the only 'person' here?"
Ji Ting: "..."
He said nothing and lowered his head.
But Balian saw him subconsciously rubbing his hands between his clothes.
His clothes were wrinkled, making him look a little pitiful.
Fang Geyu became extremely quiet. She quietly looked at the huge pit under her feet. In the dusty darkness, she seemed to hear the girl's sad cry.
The heroic spirit Hongying raised her head at some point and faced Balian's direction, as if she was observing him carefully.
But she couldn't see, the black veil covered her face, and she couldn't see clearly the expression on her face at this moment.
Balian seemed to have regained some strength, and finally stood up from the ground. He leaned slightly, with a somewhat threatening tone.
He looked into Ji Ting's eyes and said softly: "The girl said that those who were strangled would be taken to the courtyard and buried under the millstone to suppress them, but they were all locked in that dark room. Without sunlight, how can we know where the dead people will be taken? Ji Ting, please tell me, who taught them to say these words and lured me and Fang Geyu to come here to dig out the corpses? "
There was silence.
This silence lasted for a long, long time...
finally……
"Ha..." Ji Ting, who lowered his head, let out a chuckle. When he raised his face again, the emotions in his eyes had been cleared away, and his voice was clear and clear, even with a somewhat relaxed smile. , in the same way, the smile was full of malice: "It's me."
He said: "It was I who captured those women into the deserted house, and I strangled them and threw them in. You Guilang is a madman and a fool.
At first, he would use the power of the Devil's Crying Bead to deceive the gods every year to capture and torture women under the eyes of the great god. He originally thought he was a ruthless character, but in the end, he was just a fool caught up in love.
do you know? He actually fell in love with that girl in clothes, hahaha! ! ! It's just that Yun Shulang played with the unwanted junk, and he raised it like a treasure. Knowing that she didn't like killing, he really stopped killing people and raising pearls. This makes me worried. "
No one noticed that Hongying, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly.
Ji Ting shook his head and showed a distressed look: "I don't know what the use is of keeping those good-for-nothing good-for-nothing ladies in the city. If he doesn't kill them, then I'll have to do it. Although it's a bit of hard work, but it's just a coincidence. I also want the Devil Weeping Bead, it would be nice for him to guard his crazy female ghost, but it’s a pity that I’m just a little bit close to succeeding.”
"You must be curious why I chose Ji Ying, right? After all, she has been very kind to me over the years. She works hard and never complains. She works hard selling noodles until late at night so that I can study, and begs me to make progress. She is reluctant to buy herself a new piece of clothing on weekdays. , lest I get cold while studying at night, I used all the money I saved to make winter clothes for me.
She is very good. She made all her winter clothes with her own hands. She is very naive and it is clear that I can't give her anything. However, I randomly pulled some wattle grass into a bracelet and gave it to her, which made her happy for several days. "
"But what can I do? The better she treats me, the more she deserves to die." Ji Ting's expression began to become ferocious, with a hint of madness coming from his bones.
He looked at Balian, as if he wanted to gnaw a bone from his body.
"Otherwise, why do you think the Devil May Cry Bead is in her hand? Because in order for the Devil May Cry Bead to awaken, you must sacrifice the most important person in your life."
Ji Ting covered his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling: "Why do you think this silly girl is so nice to me? If she were not so good and bad, as long as she was more selfish and knew how to buy a few new clothes for herself, she wouldn't be Make me miss her so much."
At first, Bailian thought Ji Ting was crying, but after he heard this sentence, he realized that he was laughing, and the laughter was full of happiness and fear.
"If it weren't for the observation of Ghost Weeping Bead, I wouldn't have known that the most important thing in my life is not myself, but her. I am so lucky, because I care about her, so the sacrifice does not need to be me. I I originally planned to give up my body, but I never thought that someone could take my place."
Balian asked, "Did your hands shake when you killed her?"
"It's shaking! Why aren't you shaking? It's shaking so hard!"
Ji Ting frowned crazily, and his shoulders shook even more violently, like a lunatic whose spirit had long been lost.
"I watched her suffocate in front of me, and then slowly die. You should really see the look in her eyes at that time, which was full of the despair of being betrayed. How pitiful. Only then did I understand why it was necessary to wake up the Devil May Cry Pearl. In such a ridiculous way."
"Because only death can understand death. Only when one suffers betrayal from the one closest to him can one brew the wine called despair."
His facial features were distorted, and his eyes were filled with a ferocious look, but the next moment, he unexpectedly became very calm.
Ji Ting glanced at Bai Lian lightly, and his eyes became numb little by little: "But so what, I am like a joke. I have done so many things in vain, and finally made a wedding dress for others."
Balian looked down at the jade flute in his hand. The drop of blood-thick bead at the end of the flute carried so much sin and evil, punishment and sorrow.
Ji Ting took a breath, his smile was a little pale, and his body was shaking slightly, whether because of fear.
"You are waiting for Yuguirou. Because of my own actions, he lost the Devil May Cry Bead. He will not let me go. Although you are smart to an intimidating level, you seem to be an incomprehensible person. People who use severe punishment, you want to hand me over to that pervert You Guilang, want to see me miserable, want to avenge Ji Ying and Ji San'er?"
Balian could see that this man who was insane to a certain extent was still afraid, and this fear came from You Gui Lang.
He was really scared.
That's why I keep talking to him.
Bailian did not answer Ji Ting's question, nor did he continue to threaten him. He just asked the last question in his mind.
"When Ji Ying died, did you know that you were not her biological brother?"
Bailian saw Ji Ting holding his breath, and the smile on his face suddenly stiffened.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Balian continued to press: "Let me ask you in another way. Did Ji Ying know until the last moment that you killed his brother and replaced him?"
