At midnight, inside the government office.
The pure light contained raging murderous intent, like a huge blade that shone with cold light, sweeping through the land with an aura like breaking mountains and breaking gold.
"The main mission: to become a head catcher." Gu Lingxin smiled and said, his golden eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, "Rule 1: Please prevent the Blood Clothes Sect from completing the Hundred Corpse Formation to prevent the evil cult from wreaking havoc on the world; Rule 2: No one in the court is allowed Kill the decent disciples."
"I guessed it, right?"
Her black clothes were stained with blood, but it was not her own blood. The grimacing and ferocious female catcher in front of her had numerous scars on her body. She was panting and breathing in fresh air. At this moment, Luo Ying looked at Gu Lingxin in her eyes. He was completely frightened, just like the people in the world who had seen Li Sang.
Starting a few days ago, "games" appearing all over the world have forcibly divided player camps. It is many times more difficult to pass the level than it was at the beginning. Ordinary people are involved in the "game". It is lucky to be able to figure out the conditions for clearing the level. This person actually guessed The quest line for players from other camps has been released.
Seeing that Luo Ying remained silent, Gu Lingxin continued to talk to herself: "I have realized that to revitalize the Demon Cult, it will not work without killing people." The majestic and gorgeous flames bloomed behind her like petals, and in an instant The sky covered the whole sky, and the dark night suddenly became as bright as day.
[Fire] fell to the ground, and the fiery tongues of flames instantly swept through the entire palace.
She looked at the frightened NPCs, turned to the slightly embarrassed Shu Shihan and said, "Master, are you noble this year?"
…
Twenty-four years ago.
"The cult has entered the village!" The middle-aged man quickly walked into the yard, picked up the infant child with one hand, and held the woman's wrist with the other, "Run!"
The woman was packing her belongings, but when she heard the man's hurried tone, she panicked. She just took some banknotes and put them in her arms, and was about to leave immediately.
As they approached the courtyard gate, the sound of killing outside could still be heard. The two of them did not dare to open the door for a moment. When they were hesitating, the baby in their arms suddenly opened his mouth and burst into tears.
The cry was deafening, and the man was shocked and hurriedly returned to the hospital with the child in his arms.
The young man walked out of the house wearing a thin cloth coat with pudding. He seemed to have heard the movement outside and looked at the couple in confusion and horror.
The two ignored him. They were in the business of abducting girls and babies. Because they had not been pregnant for many years, they chose a boy from the abducted children as their adopted son. Later, when they had their own children, they did not let the little boy go. In my eyes, I just ordered him to do rough work.
I didn't want to take my adopted son with me when I ran away now.
"Mom and Dad, I can hold my brother and hide him in the bucket. You can hang the bucket in the well and leave first. Then come back and take us away."
The couple looked at each other. This was indeed a good idea. They didn't really want to take their adopted son away, but there was no better way at the moment. So the man handed the baby in his arms to the boy and repeatedly asked him to take good care of it. younger brother.
The young man held his younger brother and sat in the barrel. The two of them pulled the rope on the crystal and slowly lowered him. The well was cold and damp, and the baby in his arms couldn't stand the cold, so he struggled and cried.
He reached out and covered his "brother's" mouth, trying not to make a sound. The young man raised his head and glanced at the mouth of the well. The cold well walls surrounded him layer by layer, and a distant and dazzling light came from the end.
After confirming that the "parents" outside had left, he reached out and threw the crying baby in his arms into the well water. He pushed the child into the cold well water with both hands. He did not withdraw his hands silently until he confirmed that the child under his hands was no longer flopping.
The couple escaped not far away, and then discovered that the person who had entered the village was not the rumored witch Li Sang, but a yellow-haired girl aged fourteen or fifteen.
Feeling relieved, they made some calculations and returned to the courtyard. When they saw the girl in black wearing the banner of the Blood-clothed Sect standing in the courtyard, they were no longer frightened. Regardless of whether she was a disciple of the Blood-clothed Sect or not, this whole The whole village is their "own", so if they join forces, they might be able to abduct her as well.
"Oh?" Li Pan held a long sword and raised his eyebrows, "I didn't chase you, but you came back to die on your own."
Although she was talking to the couple, her eyes fell on the well in the courtyard.
The woman couldn't help but be a little scared when she saw blood dripping from Li Pan's sword, but when she thought about her adopted son and her own son hanging in the well next to the girl, her expression became ferocious: "She is quite pretty, just in time to sell it to the county." You can make more money by being a concubine in your family than selling it to a brothel!"
Before she could finish her words, a chilling sword edge passed by the tip of her nose. The woman turned her head and saw the man beside her falling silently. A two-inch-deep knife edge at her throat spurted out blood.
"Kill..." She was about to scream when the girl's bloody sword pointed at her face again. The woman's scream was hoarse in her throat and she stopped with a look of horror on her face.
"The county magistrate, right? I will throw you on his bedside tonight." Li Pan snorted coldly, sheathed his sword, pointed to the well in the courtyard with the scabbard, "Fetch it up."
With trembling hands, the woman lifted the bucket hanging from the well. In the bucket was a soaked boy.
"You..." The woman's eyes widened, but she did not dare to be too arrogant in front of Li Pan, so she asked in a low voice: "Where is your brother?!"
The young man lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice: "Falled into the well water."
The woman's eyes turned red and she raised her hand to hit him, but Li Pan raised her leg and kicked her wrist bone with a "snap".
She fell to the side, screaming angrily and trying to tear the boy's wet clothes away. Li Pan stepped on her chest and asked the boy with a smile: "Is this your mother? You don't look much alike."
The young man still lowered his head with a gloomy expression: "Yes... she is my adoptive mother, please invite the heroine..."
"You are helping to count the money after being sold?" Li Pan interrupted him and kicked the woman's feet again. Seeing that the woman had completely passed out, he felt bored and walked into the house, "Is there anything to eat? Are you hungry? Kill me."
Eighteen years ago.
It rained heavily in Jiangnan that night, and the dense rain lines obscured the vision. The cold dagger drew invisible arcs one after another, and in an instant the rich smell of blood filled the empty cliffs.
Li Xu looked at the towering cliffs in the distance, the lights were dim, and the sound of the stone walls collapsing could not be heard.
Someone was calling him.
No, the person's throat was filled with sweet and sticky blood, and the words she shouted were extremely blurred and could not be heard clearly. Perhaps in the eyes of others, she was just screaming in fear or pain, but Li Xu knew that that person Was looking for him.
He suddenly didn't know whether he should appear in front of them - now that he was here, why not help them? He was afraid that Li Sang would ask him like this.
He didn't dare.
He has no talent in martial arts and is afraid of cold blades and daggers. He has always been a disciple of the Blood Clothes Sect in vain.
He thought for a while and came to them.
When Li Pan was facing the enemy with all his strength, Li Sang coughed up a mouthful of blood, pushed Shu Shihan to Li Xu's side, barely uttered a vague word "go", and then turned around and walked towards Li Pan with his knife before waiting for their reaction. Meeting the enemy.
"I can't help them." Shu Shihan's voice was hoarse, and the smell of blood came from his clothes. He stood with Li Xu, looking back sadly in the direction of Li Sang and Li Pan.
Li Xu bit his whitened lips and said angrily: "If the Hundred Corpse Formation is completed, how can they be allowed to step on the blood-clothed door!"
…
"Let's go." After a long time, Shu Shihan pulled Li Xu away.
Is this Li Pan's memory? It seems more like Li Xu's. Gu Lingxin sorted through the new information that emerged in her brain. Was it because the other players were dead that she obtained new plot information?
When Master Jianyi returned to the courtyard, Li Xu was still sitting at the door, playing with the two grilled fishes in his hands. When he saw Gu Lingxin coming back, he handed over a deliciously grilled fish.
Gu Lingxin took a bite of the sizzling and oily fish. It was sprinkled with coarse salt and spices and grilled until it was fragrant and delicious.
Li Xu stared at her quietly, picked up the roasted sweet potato from the charcoal pile, and said while peeling: "Senior sister, if one day I am punished by the government for reselling medicinal herbs, buying low and selling high, using gutter oil for cooking, and indiscriminately killing protected animals. If I’m captured, will you go to jail to rescue me?”
Gu Lingxin chewed the fish meat and accurately grasped the key point of his words, "...the hell do you use gutter oil for cooking?"
"It seems that there is no word for gutter oil in this era, right?" Gu Lingxin said again.
The memory that just appeared in my mind contained three important pieces of information.
First, Li Xu is a purebred Baiqiehei, and because Li Pan personally rescued him from the den of human traffickers, he has a considerable obsession with Li Pan.
Second, it was not only Li Sang who died eighteen years ago, but also Li Pan himself. Since Li Pan is dead, Li Xu has always known that the Li Pan in front of him is not his senior sister.
Third, Li Xu finally said, "If the Hundred Corpse Formation can be completed," this sentence seems to mean something.
Li Xu didn't respond. He blew the steam from the sweet potato and handed it to Gu Lingxin.
Gu Lingxin raised her eyebrows, "The disciples of the Zhenwu Sect and the leader of the cult are in love with each other. At most, it can be considered as a connection with the cult. It is just a few curses from the world. You covet the senior sister of the same sect. This is considered incest."
Li Xu's hand that stopped in mid-air trembled, and then he retracted silently, "There are so many 'players' playing the role of my senior sister, and you are the one who is the most similar to me. You have the same temperament, the same behavior, and the same when killing people... and you are both equally strong. ."
"So you want me to stay in the 'game' and play it forever? You don't know the specific content of the 'mission', so you just infer from my behavior that you will kill the disciples I took in." Yes, the master who raised you, you also secretly assisted players from the government camp to capture him?"
Gu Lingxin pursed her lips. In fact, in her guess, Li Xu was the one least like the Boss, but after rescuing Shu Shihan, she figured it out.
Luo Ying took Shu Shihan away because she was misled by the government files, thinking that he was a direct descendant of Li Sang, and was afraid that he would complete the Hundred Corpse Formation; she did not kill him because Shu Shihan's identity in the plot was a disciple of the Zhenwu Sect, and she wanted to kill him It violated the rules, so I could only take it away and put it under my nose.
Li Sang and the real Li Pan died eighteen years ago, and even after Li Sang died, Shu Shihan did not draw a clear line with the Xueyi Sect. Instead, he raised two apprentices by selling iron and steel, because the secret method of corpse refining of the Xueyi Sect could The corpse is refined into something like a zombie, without life and self-awareness, but at least it will not decay.
"...the direct descendants of the Blood-clothed Sect pass on the secret method, and refine hundreds of corpses. Half of them, men and women, are placed in the formation. At the eye of the formation, you can learn the art of controlling corpses..."
Compared with Li Pan's martial arts attainments, the secret method of corpse refining mastered by Li Xu is the orthodoxy of the Blood Clothes Sect.
Gu Ling suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Both of them were perverts. One wanted to use the secret method of corpse refining to reconnect with Li Sang's corpse, and the other wanted the player to play Li Pan's senior sister in his skin.
And in addition, as an NPC, Li Xu's ability is no less than that of Chengyun Immortal in the previous "game". He should have some kind of "reset" or "retrospection" ability. In Gu Ling's heart, After discovering Luo Ying's attempt to kidnap Shu Shihan, Li Xu used this ability to give Luo Ying another chance.
Gu Lingxin's brain was spinning rapidly. She assessed Li Xu's strength and re-examined the instructions of the rules.
Li Xu frowned and said, "Luozheng was killed by me. Your mission will not be completed."
"Why?" Gu Lingxin asked, "My mission is not to keep her alive."
