"Ahh——!!"
The sea water eroded the world, and the ghost mother shuddered and screamed, but the next second the loud sound of the waves destroying the world was replaced by the deafening clear sound of the bell——
"clang--"
Melodious and far away, there are old bells in ancient temples.
The ghost mother's chest rose and fell violently for a few seconds, and the buzzing in her ears calmed down. Only then did she have the mind to look at Gaoshan Yating in front of her, and breathed a sigh of relief after the disaster.
Although the entity cannot die, the fear in the dream is real.
"It is not a good experience to dream that you are suffocating to death with no escape."
Quan Heng stood under the pavilion, looking down at the spring water drops that were blown into the sky by the mountain wind. He held the Buddha beads between his fingers and listened to the distant sound of the bell.
She turned around and smiled kindly at the ghost mother:
""Knocking on the Bell" says: 'When you hear the sound of the bell, your worries will be relieved, your wisdom will grow, and your enlightenment will increase.' I have just experienced a stormy sea and a nightmare, and coming here can calm my mind."
The ghost mother tried to break free from the control of the dream, but her eyes were focused on the vivid details of the dream, and she was poured cold water on her. She was unwilling to taunt her viciously: "A human like you still likes to practice Buddhism? Are you not afraid of being punished when worshiping Buddha?" God’s damnation.”
"It's hard to say," Quan Heng thought for a while, "To be precise, I have no preferences, but I must have a 'preference', otherwise how can I make 'friends' easily?"
"Let's talk about divine punishment..."
Quan Heng raised the palm of his right hand that was resting on Shibazi and smiled softly: "I am cultivating the golden body of Buddha and Bodhisattva. How can the gods and Buddhas in the sky be willing to attack me? Standing in front of the golden palace, should I worship the Buddha or should the Buddha respect me? I still can’t say for sure.”
[… Damn it, I’m so pretentious! The light of Bking blinded me! ]
[Depend on! How could this person say such harsh words in such a light and matter-of-fact tone? I almost didn’t react. When I did, my fists became hard! ]
"Your pursuit of power and power is rotten to the core. Even if you have a good skin to cover it up, it's useless. Besides, I don't care about this."
The ghost mother sneered and stared at her closely: "I just want to know what you just said [narcissus] mean?"
"Isn't daffodil your favorite and the most suitable flower for you?" Quan Heng smiled, "Its flower language in ancient Greece is close to the mandala flower, which is [with morbid love] - for you, for you It is very suitable for mothers, relatives, and husbands.”
"After all, the continuation of suffocation in your family is sick and deformed."
The ghost mother took a shaky breath: "What did you say...?"
"What?" Quan Heng sat down on the stone bench, resting the back of his right finger on his chin, with a faint smile on his lips, "Did I say something wrong? Except for the [trapped dead player] on the fifth floor of this triangular building, all residents are residents. others……"
"——Aren't they all part of your family?"
Reality, fifth floor.
"Is this what Quan Heng asked you to give to me?"
The female ghost looked at Tang Baoli and Ah Xiao standing side by side at the door, and took a thick stack of yellow talismans from Tang Baolan.
"Why are there so many?" She assessed the thickness and couldn't help but click her tongue, "Has it been completely removed?"
"We've collected everything we can use. We're a professional shop for zero-yuan purchases." Tang Bao Liang raised his chin and pointed at the yellow talisman in the female ghost's hand, "She said let us give this to you, and you can help us avoid the elevator and the Ghost mother, go up to the sixth floor."
"It's okay," the female ghost hesitated, "but the ghost mother should still be on the sixth floor now. Are you guys up early?"
"It's not early. Quan Heng said that the ghost mother will go crazy and kill people tonight. If she wants to trap us, she must first solve the problem of the elevator. When she goes downstairs, she will probably tear down all the posters in the elevator and turn the elevator into a [you will die as soon as you enter] Hell’s Prison, it will be too late for us to come up by then.”
"Oh...that's it, that's okay."
The female ghost nodded and motioned for the two people to come in: "Then I'll go get your tools first, and you guys stay here for a while."
Ah Xiao and Tang Bao entered the room together and looked at each other tacitly.
"Tell me, the deal to cooperate in killing Peng Qinan has ended, why are you still looking for me?" Ah Xiao said coldly, "It was also said that it was Quan Heng's arrangement that you and I went directly to the fifth floor to knock on the female ghost's house. Door."
"Don't think that I don't know the virtues of you gangsters. You are no different from Peng Qinan. If the members of our club had not been intercepted by Peng Qinan, I would not cooperate with you to kill people."
"I..." Tang Bao opened his mouth, and finally sighed indifferently, "Forget it, you don't believe me anyway, so you can understand that I am making a new deal with Quan Heng."
"What deal?" Ah Xiao was impatient.
She didn't want to listen to Tang Bao's lies. She even suspected that the mastermind had ulterior motives to lure her away and then target Quan Heng. After all, veteran players knew that their two-headed eagles would be even more powerful if they had a [brain].
Could this manipulator want to join forces with that shepherd thing to lure me away and then cut our "tiger wings"?
It's... so treacherous!
Ah Xiao clenched his fist ruthlessly and made up his mind: If he dares to show off again, it will prove that he is stalling for time. I will break his nose with one punch, and then rush back to hammer the other one to death!
"Sneeze!" Tang Baoan suddenly sneezed with a cold nose. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and continued, "Just before the curfew, Quan Heng came to see me on his own."
"Looking for you?"
Tang Bao nodded: "Yes."
[...You just said, negotiate a deal with me? 】
7:40 p.m.
Tang Baoli looked at Quan Heng who came in, his expression a little nervous, "Don't we always have business cooperation?" Kill Peng Qinan...]
[——It’s not a deal with the mastermind “Tang Bao”, it’s a deal with “you”. ] Quan Heng corrected.
Tang Bao was startled.
[Although senior said he would wait until the game is out to introduce himself again, I think senior should just talk. The mastermind only obeys the brain, and there is probably no such thing as "sincerity". 】
Quan Heng looked at him and said with an interesting smile: [You can tell by looking at the senior's efforts today to pin the label of "Peng Qinan's murderer" on me. 】
Tang Baoli tightened his lips, and for a moment he didn't know whether to take action immediately to seize the opportunity or to quibble.
[Senior, don’t be nervous. 】
[I said, I am here to make a deal with "you", not to confront the "ghost". 】
[To be honest, I am also very curious about one thing: the ghost who directly belongs to the "brain" has no sincerity, so can the "person" who has a soul under the skin of the ghost... or can it still be able to maintain his own sincere? 】
Tang Bao's fingers curled up and trembled at his side. He opened his mouth and heard his own hoarse voice for a long time: "What do you want... to trade?" 】
Quan Heng smiled and stretched out his right hand: [Since the ghost master has broken the contract, I will re-invite the "ghost servant" to cooperate. This time my sincerity is to solve the ghost mother and dig out the Jade Capital Beidou. 】
[Accordingly, you have to follow my command and take Ah Xiao to do something. 】
[At the same time, I will solve your worries, including holding back the ghost mother and distracting the ghost mother. 】
【how? Am I sincere enough? 】
Tang Baobao was silent for a few seconds, and finally raised his eyes to look at Quan Heng, slowly but firmly held her hand, and said in a deep voice:
【make a deal. 】
"That's it," Tang Bao said simply, "Then she gave me the yellow talisman and told me that if I give these things to the female ghost, I can go to the sixth floor. She also told me -"
"This is the climbing tool you are going to use," the female ghost floated out, holding a roll of something in addition to the flying claw rope, "and this is a useful clue for you to clear the level. I think it will be helpful for understanding the ghost mother. It’s of great use.”
"Originally, I planned to wait for that sneaky person to complete the transaction before giving it to her... Now it's the same thing for you."
"——This female ghost is probably a trapped player. She should still have some clues in her hand. Only by giving her the yellow talisman can the other party give us the clues at the bottom of the box." Tang Bao slowly finished what he just said. .
Ah Xiao said solemnly: "He predicts things like a god."
Tang Badan: "..." I'll wipe it!
Tang Bao was so excited that he hissed deeply and touched the goose bumps that appeared on his skin. His mood was so complicated that it was difficult to explain in words:
"I'm not telling you, are you trying to attract people too quickly? This tone has already attracted Quan Heng to your club? Also, do you know that this word is highly valued in Chinese culture?"
Ah Xiao glanced at him lightly, and it was clear that it was "none of your business".
"I think..." Tang Baobao gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last drop of loyalty, "Quan Heng may not go to your [Double-Headed Eagle]. People like her will brainwash you if they go. Listen to my advice and just go ahead. No, reject her first!"
Ah Xiao's eyes darkened and he said coldly "I'll blow your head off again".
Tang Badan: "..."
Okay, okay, Quan Heng, I can't save you.
When the secret is revealed, the intensity of your beating will increase by at least one order of magnitude.
"Take it." The female ghost urged without knowing why.
"Thank you." Tang Bao took it and unfolded it.
——It's an old newspaper.
Looking at the issue and publisher is obviously a reality.
"Whether they are new players or experienced players, they can come into contact with contaminated items dropped by the game and then be sucked into the corresponding map game."
Tang Badai looked at the female ghost and couldn't help but lower his voice: "Are you... the newcomer who died in the audition, or the veteran player who is trapped here?"
"Old player? I don't have that kind of ability. I'm just a new player. I'm a noob who didn't clear the level and was forced to stay here."
The female ghost laughed at herself and shook her head, smiling bitterly: "I have forgotten how long I have been here. It must have been seven or eight years. Everyone who comes and goes is new, and they are basically all group annihilators. No one can play the role of Ghost Mother." .
"You are the first group to play so far, and there are still so many survivors."
Tang Badou couldn't help but frown: "New players only play because the ghost mother holds Yujing Beidou, and the audition book is not open to official players. We have no chance to know, if the system hadn't suddenly announced that there is [Yujing Beidou] in this map. Even now, we won't come in.
"This map is said to be the lowest Dark level, but it's a hell of a start for newcomers. The difficulty is quite different."
Tang Bao paused and added: "But... even if there are no old players like us and just a bunch of newcomers, Quan Heng can still make it out of the circle."
Ah Xiao folded his arms and nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
In the final analysis, it is still not strong enough.
Female ghost: "...In addition to his brain, I found that Quan Heng is also very good at talking."
Although it is said that her acting skills are poor, it is just to tease her. When it comes to sensitive areas, she will seriously say that she sticks to her heart, and then change the topic to a lighter topic... Anyway, it will not imply that "she is not good enough, and the quality of new players is not good." level.
Even if Tang Bao and the other two didn't have any malicious intent, a victim like her who died after struggling and was trapped because of the increased difficulty of the game, and who was filled with resentment and pain, could easily think of the malicious conclusion of "You can't do it, so you deserve it".
no! Can't think about that bad woman who can coax people.
"Look!" the female ghost couldn't help but said angrily, "Straight men are dead to straight women. It's so irritating that people are more popular than others. I shouldn't let you in. Hurry up and finish reading. Don't say I didn't take care of my fellow human beings!"
The two people opposite were scolded inexplicably: "??"
"……good."
Tang Badan looked at the newspaper angrily and specially circled the headline with lipstick:
[On September 1, 2014, a "supernatural incident" occurred in Fujiang City. A girl living alone claimed that her mother, who had come back to life from the dead, was taking care of her in an abandoned old building.
After police investigation, the real name of the so-called "ghost mother" is Liu XX. She suffered long-term domestic violence from her alcoholic husband during her lifetime. Her husband's sister and brother-in-law were debtors, and they hid in their brother's house for a long time. They often insulted, oppressed, and ordered Ms. Liu took care of the house, but her husband's sister later became pregnant and miscarried. The couple insisted that Ms. Liu deliberately murdered her and claimed 500,000 yuan in compensation.
The woman applied to the court for divorce, but failed, and left with her daughter to return to her mother's house.
There were many rumors in the neighborhood. Ms. Liu's mother invited her husband to her home on the pretext that "family scandals should not be publicized". There was a dispute and Ms. Liu was violently beaten to death.
After witnessing her mother's death, her daughter's temperament changed drastically, she gradually degenerated and her grades plummeted.
Later, the doctor determined that the girl was mentally disturbed. Due to lack of care, she assumed that her mother was alive and had been sent to a lunatic asylum for treatment. 】
The case ends here.
Tang Badan's eyes were fixed on the newspaper and he couldn't help but frown:
"I can understand some parts, but does this have any direct relationship with the ghost mother's behavior towards her children, and this perfect triangular building...?"
"——Of course it does matter."
In the dream, Quan Heng raised his eyes to look at Ghost Mother, smiled slightly and said:
“Control your child and she won’t be what you want her to be, but she will be what you want her to be – that applies to you very well.
"Mom, how do you feel about changing from a victim to a perpetrator?"
