12
During the few days I spent with Ren Jian, I found that he was always absent during the day, but whenever the sun set and the moon rose, he would appear.
I never asked him why he left early and came home late.
Because I also used skills on the blood moon in front of me, but unfortunately I got nothing except that its name is blood moon.
I don’t think he would tell me directly, probably because of some unclear reasons.
Although he repeatedly told me not to leave here, my mission told me that it was impossible for me not to leave.
As if he knew what I was thinking, he touched my palm with his hand, and there was a strange seal there.
The lines of the seal were strange and shone with an amazing light. It was a look that could not be described in human language. When I didn't look at the palm of my hand, the light disappeared instantly.
The seal on his palm looks like he is looking at me.
When I woke up, there were still familiar beams and gauze curtains, but there was no trace of anyone around me.
I looked out the window and saw the dazzling sunlight.
It's daytime.
In the corner of the holographic screen was clearly written: July 15th.
According to the game’s official countdown notice, it’s the last day.
I put on my shawl and took my guy with me.
For the first time in these days, I left the backyard.
I thought, I can't bet, this is a mandatory task, I can't turn a blind eye.
For the first time, I didn’t go to the Song Family Ancestral Hall. I went to Cang Yuexuan first.
It was that familiar door again, and I did the same thing as I had done several times before.
I knocked on the door, waiting for a familiar voice and a code that made me laugh.
But for a long time, no response was heard.
The world is cruel.
I went to the center of the mission - the Song family ancestral hall.
Originally, I was worried about the huge Song Mansion. It would be difficult for me to find it without instructions.
But for some reason today, everyone I saw along the way was wearing linen and mourning. When I passed the main court, it was covered with white cloths.
A strong sense of crisis and strangeness arose in my heart.
What I didn't even expect was that Wan Tian, who was "Song Ming", was actually wearing a suit of mourning today and walked towards me when he saw me.
I'm full of questions: Doesn't he have to worry about the "fake identity"?
He pulled me aside: "Where have you been these past few days? Why haven't I seen you?"
"Have you come to see me?"
"Well... you're not even here." He saw that I was still in trouble and continued, "You should have gone to see Su Yue, right?"
I watched him acquiesce.
"Su Yue's mission was not completed, so she couldn't survive the past few days. It should still be circulating in the past two days."
"So we came to find you before, but you never responded or saw you, so we had to crack it ourselves. I was lucky. I completed other tasks, and it was quite thrilling. Finally, today, But Su Yue just..."
I looked at the man in front of me, and he seemed to be somewhat sincere in what he said, but after all, I was not outside these days, and I didn’t know whether what he said was true or false without comparing information.
I asked: "How can you talk to me rashly today? Aren't you Song Ming now? They don't care if you talk to me like this?"
"Today is the last day! I secretly changed into Song Ming's clothes and everything that symbolized his identity, so at this moment I am no longer Song Ming, but Wan Tian."
So that’s it, I nodded with a clear conscience: “What about you?”
"Today the Song family ancestral hall is the first seven of the real Song Ming. My mission is to go to the ancestral hall to solve the mystery. Yours should be the same, right?"
I nodded: "So, you want to work with me?"
"I know that you have always been suspicious of me, and I don't ask for cooperation with you. But let's go there together so that we can take care of each other whatever happens in the future."
I think about what he said, and I can't seem to find anything wrong with it. This is the last mission, so it doesn't hurt to go together.
If he really has ill intentions towards me, with my current skills, I can find out and deal with it in time if we go together.
So I agreed to him.
We followed the house slaves and guests all dressed in white, and walked to our destination.
Before I reached the entrance of the ancestral hall, I heard the hair-raising sounds of crying and condolences from the other side of the wall, but I couldn't feel the sadness at all.
Along the way, I used my skills to look at countless people, and I felt that the true identities of these people could really fill another book of mountains and seas.
But no one I met today was meddling in my business, so it was a smooth journey.
The smoother it goes, the more I feel that this is the illusion of calm before the storm.
When we arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, the four characters "Song Family Ancestral Hall" were written on the plaque at the door.
But it looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time, and there was obviously dust on it.
My skills tell me that this place is very dangerous, because even the pollution value of a plaque at the entrance of the ancestral hall is 100/100.
I hesitated at the door.
At this moment, someone tapped me on the shoulder. When I turned around, I saw it was Su Yue.
When I was about to ask her, she motioned for me to be silent and follow her in.
But didn’t Wan Tian say that she was trapped a few days ago?
I watched Su Yue enter the ancestral hall from the door. There seemed to be a demon in the ancestral hall.
I always feel like someone is babbling and saying something in my ear, which makes me feel that this ancestral hall is becoming more and more attractive to me.
Unknowingly, I almost caught up, but Wan Tian, who was a step behind me, patted me.
I just came to my senses and looked ahead. Where was Su Yue?
Wan Tian pulled me aside and said to me: "I haven't told you before, because that time Su Yue was next to you, and I noticed something was wrong with her that day."
"Why did you say that?" I remembered that Su Yue had always been sincere and cheerful in my memory, which was beyond imagination.
"There is a mark from the Song Dynasty on the side of her neck."
"How do you know that is the mark of the Song Dynasty?" As soon as I heard this, I immediately fell into deep thought.
I remember that when I met Su Yue on the first day, I didn’t see such a mark on her neck. And how did Wan Tian know what the mark symbolizing the Song Dynasty looked like?
"Because, Mrs. Song also has the same mark on the side of her neck."
I was about to ask him if he had ever seen Mrs. Song, but suddenly a loud and ancient bell sounded in the ancestral hall, and the next second there were many sounds of chanting and banging cymbals.
The diners and servants behind him who had entered the door in an orderly manner suddenly rushed into the door one after another.
Wan Tian and I didn't care to talk anymore, and were squeezed into the ancestral hall together in the flow of people.
This place is bigger than the ancestral hall I thought it was, and looks more like a small Buddhist temple.
I saw that most of the people were gathered around the middle looking at something, so I walked over.
Behind them is an altar.
But an altar with nothing is like a stage that is empty of actors.
I moved forward and moved with the group of onlookers.
I didn't see it until I squeezed into the front row.
It was an open coffin.
There was something in the coffin. I moved higher to see what was inside.
Inside was a man, dressed in black and with a tall body.
It's an unfamiliar face.
Although I have never seen Ren Jian’s appearance.
But I always feel that the man in front of me is dressed exactly the same as Ren Jian except that he is not wearing a hat.
not him.
The crowd was really crowded. Someone pushed me from behind and I fell into it.
I hurriedly turned around to come out, but the moment I looked up, I happened to see a shrine appearing on the originally empty altar.
But I clearly saw that the face in the shrine was the person in the coffin.
I hurriedly struggled out, but for some reason, the noisy and gloomy sounds outside suddenly fell silent at this moment, followed by the coffin board being suddenly closed.
Before I closed it, I saw the person standing behind me pushing me after closing the lid.
It’s ten thousand days.
At the same time, what I saw was that the Buddhist niche on the altar seemed to be smiling.
And, the person under me turned into Ren Jian.
The white jade bracelet in his arms vibrated crazily.
At the last second when I lost consciousness, I seemed to see a dark and strange light emitting from the palm of my hand.
