"Didn't you see the danger that just appeared? The whole ruins were shaking, and you said you couldn't find Private One..."
The deaf sheep murmured, repeating everything that happened in his memory.
"I did say that I couldn't find Private One. That's because the haze around the rotten tree roots in the center of the crater suddenly became several times denser, covering up the red light spot of Private One... Eh, that's not right. Ah, why has the gray haze become thinner again..."
The chattering girl's eyes changed slightly, and she carefully felt the changes in the spiritual world in her mind.
Sure enough, the previously dense gray haze disappeared, and compared with before, the haze covering the entire ruins was a bit thinner, almost invisible.
"What's going on? I clearly felt the dense gray fog before, but why has it disappeared all of a sudden..."
The girl was about to return to the ruins again to investigate, but her body was gently circled by the tentacles that followed, and she was restrained in place.
"What are you doing? You don't want to throw me away again, do you?"
Looking at the deaf sheep with a complicated face, Lin Tanying shrank his neck and said with some worry.
"No……"
Seeing Lin Tanying's scared look, Deafyang shook his head and frowned.
"Can you repeat what happened on the ruins just now? I think there is something fishy in it..."
"Of course there is something fishy. You threw me to the ground for no reason..."
Although Lin Tanying was still complaining, she obviously realized that something was wrong, so she asked immediately.
“Where to begin with the retelling?”
"It starts when we go to the ruins..."
Hearing this, the girl put her index finger on her lips and began to remember.
"At first you ran up to the ruins by yourself. No matter how I shouted, you didn't wait for me..."
"Well, it's the same here, so there's no need to go into details..."
Deaf Sheep scratched his head. He was indeed a little impulsive when he ran to the ruins at first, but the situation was not weird at that time, so he relaxed his vigilance.
"Then I followed you to the edge of the pit and asked you why you walked so fast..."
"This place is just like what I remember... Did you say something later: 'What a big bunch of rotten tree roots'?"
Deafyang's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he stared at Lin Tanying, as if trying to find the answer to the riddle on his face.
"After that, I planned to go down to have a look, but you stopped me and refused to let me go down. You told me to go down because there was no danger..."
"There is no problem here... keep talking..."
Whispering to himself, Deafyang felt that the truth of the matter was about to emerge.
"Then I will reason with you and analyze the facts. Your small body must not be able to see you in front of unknown dangers, so I decided to send Soldier No. 1 to check, and you will stay by the side to protect me. How can I think of it? Private Soldier No. 1 did not encounter any danger, but I was almost killed by you when I stayed on the edge of the pit..."
At this point, Lin Tan was very much like the little daughter-in-law who had been wronged. Her whole little face stretched into the shape of a bitter melon, and she exaggeratedly blew the wound on her arm.
"Wait, it starts from here, something is different..."
After stopping Lin Tanying's chattering, Deafyang recalled word for word.
"I remember when you sent Private No. 1 down, did you use Private No. 1's body to touch the rotten tree roots at the bottom of the pit?"
"Ah, yes, and then you asked me what I did as if having a fit."
The girl shrugged and answered truthfully.
"Yes, and then I confirmed whether you really controlled Soldier One and touched the rotten tree roots at the bottom of the pit..."
"Just roll me up with your tentacles!"
"It's weird, no problem, it's all right..."
Xiao Zhengtai's eyes, which had just brightened up, fell into confusion again. Lin Tanying's memory of that time was completely consistent with his own, and he could be sure that there was no problem at that time.
But since there was no problem at that time, why did he pick up Lin Tanying and quickly evacuate the ruins?
Deafyang remembered clearly that his starting point at that time was to protect the girl, not to let the girl fall freely from the ruins.
"So let me tell you, what's wrong with you? It's a miracle that you didn't break your arm when you were dropped from such a high place..."
Seeing that the girl was about to start a new round of chattering, Deaf Sheep's brows furrowed even more.
"No! No, I wasn't crazy at that time, there was indeed danger..."
As if remembering something, Deafyang quickly waved his hand to stop the girl and said quickly at the same time.
"Didn't you feel it? After you controlled Soldier 1 and touched the rotten tree roots, the entire ruins began to shake, as if something was about to break out of the rocks below..."
After hearing Deafyang's description, Lin Tanying thought about it carefully, and then nodded affirmatively.
"No, it was quiet on the ruins at that time and nothing happened. You must be hallucinating..."
"But...but...it's impossible..."
After hearing Lin Tanying's words, Deafyang seemed to have fallen into a high degree of self-doubt. He could no longer maintain his usual calm appearance, and his whole mood suddenly became extremely irritable.
"Hey, don't be so excited. Maybe you are too nervous...what are you going to do!"
Before Lin Tanying could finish her words, the excited Deafyang suddenly became violent and attacked the girl.
The tentacles originally wrapped around her waist to hinder the girl's progress suddenly tightened, making her feel a little breathless...
…
in reality.
"No, it was quiet on the ruins at that time and nothing happened. You must be hallucinating..."
Deafyang saw the look on Lin Tanying's face that was very certain, and unconsciously began to wonder whether his own memory was confused.
"Could it be that I was hallucinating at that time..."
Before he could think for a moment, the originally quiet girl suddenly began to struggle violently, her hands tightly grasped the tentacle wrapped around her waist, and she began to tear it apart.
"what happened?"
Sensing something was wrong, the deaf sheep reacted quickly and wrapped its tentacles around the girl, restricting her movements.
However, the force exerted by the deaf sheep on the tentacles was not great. It was only used to restrict Lin Tanying's movements, and was not intended to strangle the opponent to death.
But Lin Tanying looked extremely uncomfortable. Her originally pale face even started to turn a little blue, and her breathing became rapid.
"Sister? Sister! What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Lin Tanying's breathless appearance, Deafyang knew that the reason for the opponent's difficulty in breathing was not due to excessive force on the tentacles, but he still let go of the tentacles.
Hands, dare not restrain the girl anymore.
When the tentacles were released, Lin Tanying, who was already struggling, suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell solidly on his butt.
"Ouch!"
The girl let out a cry of pain, and the expression on her face changed from panic to fear. Her purple eyes widened and she looked at the deaf sheep in front of her in fear.
"What do you want to do!"
The deaf sheep and Lin Tanying on the ground looked at each other for two seconds and questioned each other in unison.
After another few seconds of silence, the two asked again at the same time.
"You speak first!"
"..."
"Come on, let me tell you first..."
Shaking his head helplessly, Deaf Sheep took a step forward and motioned for him to speak first.
But seeing Lin Tanying's guarded look, she had no choice but to take another half step back and raise her hands in the air to show that she didn't mean any harm.
However, this step is indeed a bit redundant. After all, the deaf sheep is regarded as Lin Tanying's vassal. Creatures recognized by general-level zombies will basically not harm the original owner.
However, in order to eliminate the girl's fear, Deaf Sheep still made concessions.
"We were originally discussing what happened on the ruins, weren't we? But after you finished saying, 'Are you hallucinating?', you fell into a state of madness, desperately tearing at my tentacles wrapped around your waist. .”
"I thought the situation on the ruins was happening again, so I wrapped other tentacles around you to prevent other accidents."
"But after you were restrained by my tentacles, you quickly showed difficulty breathing, so I let go of the tentacles, causing you to lose your center of gravity and fall to the ground."
"The Sword Comes"
The tone of the deaf sheep's statement was neither urgent nor slow, and his words were very clear. He seemed to have an invisible magic power that quickly calmed Lin Tanying's panicked heart.
After a while, the girl tried to get up from the ground, but the fall on her butt seemed to be a bit heavy. As a result, she failed to get up successfully after several attempts. She did not dare to let the deaf sheep help her, so she simply sat on the ground and said. stand up.
"But...that's not what I saw..."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tanying told the deaf sheep exactly what he had "saw" just now.
"No, how could I lose my mind and fight against you..."
After listening to the girl's story with disbelief, Xiao Shota suddenly felt that the truth of the matter was close before his eyes.
There is definitely something weird in this, and the weird thing is that both he and the girl have fallen into hallucinations, but they happened at different times, and there is an obvious sequence.
"I fell into the hallucination first, and then you fell into the hallucination. Both of us saw unreal versions of each other, and tried to hurt each other..."
"And you succeeded..."
The girl pouted and added. After understanding the truth of the matter, she stood up again with the help of the deaf sheep. She was rubbing her butt, trying to relieve the pain.
"But why are we being hallucinated? We obviously haven't come into contact with anything strange..."
The tentacles entangled each other and became tangled on the deaf sheep's body.
It seems that when Xiao Zhengtai is thinking about a problem, these tentacles will work together, which is very magical.
"Is it because of those cute little bugs? You said before that they might be poisonous..."
Lin Tanying's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and she quickly guessed...
