Chen Shirong obviously wanted to explain a few more words, so he took a half step forward: "Young City Lord..."
Song Yu quickly stretched out a hand: "Stop, just stand here and say it."
Chen Shirong actually stopped obediently, and in his anxiety he finally found some intelligence: "Young City Master, believe me, I really didn't lie to you. If I had lied to you, I wouldn't be so full of loopholes!"
"Who knows if you are playing the game of 'you thought I was on the fifth floor, but actually I was in the atmosphere' with me." Song Yu was not so easy to be soft-hearted to the NPC, "Since you have an impression of this place, then it's up to you. Come lead the way.”
Chen Shirong looked a little discouraged. Not only because the future was uncertain, he also knew that the fog was not only scary for him, but also lurked strange beasts, and it was also because Song Yu obviously didn't trust him that much. But he believed that Song Yu had more methods than him, and he wanted to regain the trust of the other party as he was as close and friendly as Wang Yi at that time, so he had no choice but to obey his orders.
Only his unwillingness and uneasiness made him finally ask stubbornly: "Young City Lord, should we find a way out first?"
Song Yu laughed: "Chen Shirong, do you know an old saying?"
"What old saying?" Chen Shirong felt that Song Yu's smile was a bit too bright, which made him feel hairy all over.
"We're here." Song Yu looked at the foggy place, but still couldn't figure out the direction, "Besides, do you think we can go back easily?"
This plot cannot be avoided, it is the main plot that must be followed. Song Yu's mentality is very good.
Chen Shirong's fat face turned pale, and after a while he asked with trembling lips: "Then where do you want to go?"
He couldn't even hold on to the words "Young City Lord" anymore.
Song Yu estimated that his favorability with Chen Shirong had been lost. But when this happens...then I brush it back and say: "The more central, the better."
"Center?" Chen Shirong's face twisted, and he could understand Song Yu's death-seeking mentality, knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain. But maybe he had been nervous for too long, and his sense of danger here had gradually become numb. After thinking for a long time, he came to a conclusion: "What do you think of the Council Hall, Young City Master?"
Song Yu naturally didn't know where the meeting hall was, but from the name alone, he could guess that it was the place where the state leader held daily affairs, and it should naturally receive other officials. Such a place with extremely complex people coming and going is easier for most people to enter than the inner courtyard of the state. But the state leader is naturally also a monk, so it is impossible that he will not take strict precautions against these things that can easily harm him...
Song Yu thought this and glanced at Chen Shirong again, which made the latter shut his mouth in fright. Four horses were already racing in his mind to think about whether he had made a mistake in what he just said.
But what Song Yu was thinking was that since this guy who seemed a little strange blurted out of the Council Hall... that was probably where he went.
Song Yu's nod of agreement made Chen Shirong relax immediately. He had no objection to starting the trip by himself, and walked ahead holding the luminous pearl. In his extremely limited field of vision, Chen Shirong became more and more aware as he walked. Soon he changed from leading Song Yu back and forth to turning left and right. Suddenly, after a long corridor, he could not see what had been planted. The courtyard seems suddenly open and bright.
Seeing that Chen Shirong was getting more confident as he went further, Song Yu wanted to say that you are really familiar with this place, but after thinking about it, he decided not to continue irritating this guy. No matter how weird Chen Shirong is, Song Yu can't easily expose it now. At least we have to wait until Xie Nanshi meets up.
While Song Yu was thinking, he suddenly saw the light of a sword piercing the sky in the distance. After the sword energy was purged, the surrounding fog completely dissipated. Jie Nanshi, who was standing in the air with a sword, didn't know what happened to him before, but his original face was revealed now.
"Little Taoist Priest!"
"Who is this?!"
Song Yu and Chen Shirong spoke at the same time. Song Yu glanced at the sword in Jie Nanshi's hand, and subconsciously raised his hand to block Chen Shirong's eyes.
After clearing away the fog, Xie Nanshi came to Song Yu's side quickly. He was extremely handsome in his true appearance, with a bit of innate nobility, so he fell from the sky like an immortal. Chen Shirong's eyes were not blocked by Song Yu's hand, but he was still looking at it with fascination and dementia.
Jie Nanshi looked at Song Yu, as if waiting for an explanation.
So Song Yu also explained to Xie Nanshi: "Do you think I have the ability to come to a place like this by myself?"
Xie Nanshi pondered for a moment: "Is there something weird about this fog? Is it distorting time and space?"
Obviously, Xie Nanshi thought about the previous Guixu Crack and the fake Guixu Crack in Zhenyao Pass.
"Unfortunately, that's not the case." Song Yu knew that Xie Nanshi still had high expectations for Gui Xu, "It's just that the mist suddenly broke through the Xinghai Stone defense line set up in the altar and caught me and this person out. Based on the situation at that time, at least many other people were arrested.”
Xie Nanshi didn't speak, probably thinking whether this situation was caused by himself.
"How's it going? What about you? Have you solved it?"
Xie Nanshi shook his head regretfully: "I thought that killing that thing would cause the mist to disperse without an owner. But I still feel that it still exists."
With that said, Xie Nanshi looked at Chen Shirong.
Only then did Chen Shirong's alarm bells go off, realizing that he was too close to the young city lord who had ill intentions towards him, and since birds of a feather flock together, Xie Nanshi was probably not friendly either. But with his skills, mainly developed in the recruit camp, there was no way he could compete with the young Master of Zangfeng Peak. His wrist was tightly held by Jie Nanshi, and he couldn't struggle at all: "What are you doing..."
Before Chen Shirong finished speaking, Xie Nanshi's sword was already pressed against his throat. Chen Shirong was so frightened that he screamed: "Young City Master, help!"
Song Yu was also startled and immediately hid behind Xie Nanshi: "Is he a strange ghost?"
Chen Shirong hurriedly denied: "I, I, I'm not..."
Xie Nanshi looked hesitant, which was why he didn't kill the person immediately: "He has more than one soul... in his body."
Song Yu quickly asked: "Could he be the same as those two Bai Zhao?"
Chen Shirong almost cried when he heard this. What does it mean to have more than one soul? Is there still a ghost inside him? "You, you, don't scare me."
Jie Nanshi did not answer Song Yu's question. He fixed his sharp eyes on Chen Shirong and shouted suddenly: "Who are you?"
His voice was like thunder, but it calmed down Chen Shirong's originally frightened heart, and his words became much smoother: "My name is Chen Shirong, I am Shaodong of Ronghuafang who specializes in selling rouge in Tianyong City... No, I... I don't It should be called Chen Shirong, what is my name... I should be called... Bai... Bai..."
It was clear that the man was once again in turmoil, looking somewhat schizophrenic.
This situation seems to be a little different from what Song Yu thought. Song Yu took a step back out of habit - after all, he wanted those who could fight to stand in front - he tried to check Chen Shirong's condition, but still couldn't see anything, so he could only hope that his eyes were more vicious than the system. Duo Jie Nanshi asked: "What's going on with him?"
Xie Nanshi also rarely hesitated. Chen Shirong has two souls in one body, and the other soul is naturally a strange ghost. But the White Walkers have always snatched human skins and occupied them. How can they coexist after their original souls have been nibbled away until nothing is left? What's more, when Chen Shirong was still Chen Shirong, he walked and talked like an ordinary person, not as if his soul was damaged.
Even if he was briefly intimidated by Jie Nanshi, he could regain his consciousness. It was as if his soul had nothing to do with the White Walker inside him.
At this moment, Song Yu suddenly said: "The master of Zou Yezhou is named Bai."
Jie Nanshi paused. However, just after this brief pause, the mist that I had always been afraid of suddenly swept in again. Although Xie Nanshi immediately turned around and grabbed him, Chen Shirong's originally round and plump wrist suddenly seemed to turn back into a piece of skin and walked away from Xie Nanshi's hand.
"I'm going! I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!" Song Yu finally caught Xie Nanshi and wished he could turn into a koala, "This sudden attack scared me to death!"
Xie Nanshi looked ugly. He thought to himself that his movements were not slow, and it took at least one breath to catch Song Yu and draw the sword, but Chen Shirong's figure had completely disappeared, and only the other party's voice was heard in the distance: "By the way, my name should be Bai Qianzhi... …”
Xie Nanshi looked at Song Yu again. Song Yu immediately flipped through the system entry information, and then said firmly to Xie Nanshi: "I don't know. I only said that the surname of the state leader here is Bai."
Xie Nanshi nodded: "Find the person first."
"I was standing here just now. Even if Chen Shirong ran away, he wouldn't be looking in this direction. Where should he look?" Song Yu winked at Jie Nanshi, "How about it? Have you ever recalled why you had to go with me all the way? Companions? I have said that if you are looking for any clues or plot, you must be by my side. The same is true for Guixu, with me here, the probability of triggering will be doubled with half the effort."
"Even if you don't say that, I won't leave you." Xie Nanshi said quietly, "Besides, what you said makes sense."
Song Yu couldn't help but shook his head. I kind of understand why the NPCs have such a high impression of Xie Nanshi. This guy is mysterious, deep and full of stories when he's not speaking, and when he's speaking, he's frank and flawless.
Why couldn't he trigger his mission in his first week? It’s been a detour for several months!
"Why is the fog so thick again?" In order to prevent himself from being accidentally swept away again, Song Yu firmly pulled the corners of Xie Nanshi's clothes with both hands, and he pulled out the wrinkles in the originally neat white clothes.
"Maybe... he has recovered." Xie Nanshi didn't want to admit this answer, "But..."
Song Yu said naturally: "The recovery was too fast!"
The mist that had just enveloped the three of them seemed to have barely achieved the effect by gathering the surroundings. Now the density of the mist was almost as thick as when they first came in.
Xie Nanshi frowned, stretched out his hand to lift Song Yu up, and rushed straight to the place where the fog was thickest.
Song Yu sadly adjusted his posture in such an environment. He felt as if he had already become conscious of being picked up by Jie Nanshi. He no longer felt that any part of his body was being strangled, and he even still had some strength left. Speaking in this posture: "We probably let something terrible go..."
He originally thought that what was in Chen Shirong's body was just an ordinary ghost, but now it seems... it is clearly the consciousness of this mist!
But when did Mist's consciousness invade Chen Shirong's body? Was it the time when he first entered the fog?
Song Yu supported his chin with his hand to avoid brain congestion caused by tilting his head upside down: "No matter what, we need to find the person first."
