Xu Yinian explained the situation to Ye Qiao in detail on the phone, and when he learned that Xia Ziheng was fine for the time being, Xu Yinian heaved a sigh of relief, but just as the stone hanging in his heart was about to fall, Nan Zhi reminded: "The demon master's physique is not good enough. Unlike ordinary people, they don't necessarily faint immediately after being marked. Just like if the Wishing Machine marks a monster race that is far stronger than itself, the marked monster race will not lose consciousness until the blood sacrifice officially begins."
Xu Yinian hurriedly told Ye Qiao to be optimistic about Xia Ziheng, and hurried to the hospital. When Chen Ran and Xu Yinian pushed the door in, Ye Qiao, who had been tense all the time, subconsciously stood up.
The man and woman behind Xu Yinian are all monsters. The ecstatic beauty of the banshee was very eye-catching, but Ye Qiao's attention was all given to Yu Huai who entered the door last. His perception ability is considered very strong, but he can't estimate the depth of this monster at all. This kind of chasm-like gap made Ye Qiao feel guarded from the bottom of his heart.
It has been a long time since he met the Yaozu that made him afraid. After Yu Huai entered the room, the memory buried in the depths seemed to be stimulated, and scenes flashed through Ye Qiao's mind.
In the cramped space, he was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was beating uncontrollably, as if it was about to burst in the next second.
Step by step, the smiling voice gradually approached, to Ye Qiao's ears, it was like the sound of death coming.
…
"Is it marked?"
Yu Huai's question brought Ye Qiao back to his senses, he pinched the bridge of his nose, and focused on the sleeping Xia Ziheng.
"On the neck," answered the Banshee, "he is marked."
Ye Qiao was startled.
"I've been guarding him." His voice was calm, but there was a look of surprise in his eyes, "How could he be marked?"
"It is indeed marked." Nan Zhi repeated with certainty.
Xu Yinian patted Ye Qiao: "Think about it, did anything unusual happen today?"
Ye Qiao recalled carefully: "No, after I came to the hospital, I never left here except to go to the toilet, and I didn't see anyone coming."
As soon as Ye Qian finished speaking, the sleeping Xia Ziheng seemed to be awakened by their movement. He slowly opened his eyes, saw Ye Qiao standing next to his hospital bed, and casually tugged him: "Brother Ye, help me out!" glass of water."
Ye Qiao subconsciously waved his hand away.
"!" Xia Ziheng didn't expect this person to dislike him so much after he lived and died together, the expression on his face was shocked and hurt.
Ye Qiao said awkwardly: "I'm used to it, sorry."
He poured water while talking, Xia Ziheng took a sip, and put the glass away suddenly: "No, Brother Xu put your shoulders on your shoulders, why didn't you resist?"
"Can you keep your focus? The water has spilled out." Xu Yinian slumped on Ye Qiao's back as if he had no bones in disgust, "Why did he resist the relationship between the two of us? I even slept with him once." A bed."
They hooked their shoulders, almost touching each other. Yu Huai, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at Xu Yinian, saying word by word: "Xia Ziheng."
Caught off guard when his name was called coldly, Xia Ziheng was shocked: "Here!"
"You're dying."
Xu Yinian's back felt cold, and he inadvertently stood up straight. Ye Qiao and Chen Ran held their breath one after another, and turned their gazes to Yu Huai.
Seeing clearly who the person talking to him was, Xia Ziheng abruptly choked back the phrase "Fuck your mother." Unlike Ye Qiao who transferred to Fengqiao College and had never met Yu Huai before, Xia Ziheng was very impressed with this senior. He thought he was secretly winking at Xu Yinian: What the hell is going on? Why did you invite Lord Hades here? The point is that he sentenced me to death as soon as he came, right
It's a pity that Xu Yinian and him are not on the same channel at all, and he is also winking at him: talk about business, be honest.
Yu Huai stopped talking after intimidating the patient, and Chen Ran could only stand up and explain the current situation dutifully. At the end, he asked a little more: "Think carefully, is it possible that you have seen the wishing machine when?"
Xia Ziheng shook his head blankly.
After a while, he glanced at Ye Qiao, and suddenly said, "There is one thing."
"?"
"Brother Ye came back from the bathroom and suddenly asked me what my wish was. I didn't think much about it at the time, and replied that I hoped to pass the graduation examination. Now that I think about it, it's not like what he would ask."
Hearing this, Ye Qiao was silent for a while: "I never asked you about this, it's not me."
Xia Ziheng was overwhelmed by the news, he and Ye Qiao looked at each other for a while, then looked at Xu Yinian stupidly, the latter was even more confused than him: "Look what I'm doing, can you see someone who knows how to do it?"
Xia Ziheng hesitated, but dared not speak up. The most knowledgeable one finally condescended to explain: "The wishing machine itself has no offensive ability, its strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary demon, and at the same time, it needs blood sacrifices to extend its life."
The ears of several exorcising masters pricked up at the same time, and Xu Yinian dared to say that he had never been so serious in class.
"He will die if he does not perform a blood sacrifice for a long time. On the contrary, if a large-scale blood sacrifice is completed, the energy gained is enough to keep him alive for several years. He will hide himself and reappear until the next time he makes a wish."
Xia Ziheng heard this: "Then when was the last time he made a wish?"
Yu Huai glanced at him and didn't answer, and continued: "The cage demon has an equivalent exchange written on it from head to toe. I guessed that he must meet a condition to mark the target. He may use illusion to pretend to be Ye Qiao to ask questions." , once Xia Ziheng expresses his wish, the mark will be completed."
Xu Yinian couldn't help interjecting: "Is there a way to crack it?"
"Kill the wishing machine, so that he can't do the blood sacrifice. Apart from this, I don't know any other way for the time being."
Such a simple and rude method made the room fall into silence. Seeing the different expressions of several team members, Chen Ran immediately made a decision: "In short, for such a big matter, please contact the academy first. Xia Ziheng's situation is very dangerous, even if we give up the graduation assessment Asking the Academy for help may not necessarily save his life."
Xu Yinian said with emotion: "This script seems to be familiar."
After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Yuan Mu's number.
At 10:30 in the night, the vice principal was probably busy, and it was not until Xu Yinian dialed the second time that he got through.
"Student Xu Yinian," Yuan Mu's voice was soft, with a murderous look in his smile, "If I remember correctly, you should be in the graduation exam, unless your group wants to fail the class again, otherwise you have no reason to interrupt the teacher Dating."
"Who are you dating?" It was rare to meet the vice-principal's gossip, and Xu Yinian couldn't help being curious at a critical moment.
"This is the teacher's private matter." Yuan Mu avoided talking about it, "What do you want me to do?"
Xu Yinian hurriedly said: "There is a big event! Xia Ziheng was marked by the wishing machine."
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and the tone became serious: "How did you find out? How long has he come across the wishing machine?"
"Tonight, Nan Zhi can see the marks on Xia Ziheng's body."
"Nan Zhi...? Wait, Yu Huai is with you now?"
Xu Yinian choked on his carelessness, and responded with difficulty.
Yuan Mu pondered for a moment: "During the blood sacrifice of the wishing machine, at least you need to 'see' the sacrifice. If you go to a different space where he can't see', he should not be able to perform the blood sacrifice again...give your mobile phone to Yu Huai."
Although he didn't understand the vice principal's plan, Xu Yinian still followed his advice. Almost as soon as he handed over the phone, Xia Ziheng on the hospital bed tugged at the corner of his clothes: "I want to drink Coke."
Xu Yinian's attention was all on the conversation between Yuan Mu and Yu Huai, and he casually said, "What coke do you want? Drink more hot water."
Xia Ziheng said confidently, "I'm dying, can't I drink a Coke before I die?"
Xu Yinian wanted to say that I have never seen a dying person who can torment more than you, but in the end he relented. He pointed at Xia Ziheng with a bad face, turned his head and walked out of the room.
After he left, there was only the sound of talking on the phone in the room. I don't know what Yuan Mu said, but Yu Huai responded a few times, and finally reluctantly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, he instructed Nan Zhi, "Take them to Freeport. The Wishing Machine can't be found there, and it stands to reason that Xia Ziheng's Blood Sacrifice cannot be used."
"Okay." Nan Zhi nodded.
Xia Ziheng looked at her and noticed his gaze. Nan Zhi smiled gently: "Why are you staring at me, little brother."
Xia Ziheng's face turned red: "No, then what... are we really going to Freeport? Just go as we said?"
He raised his voice after he spoke, with such a good thing written all over his face, Chen Ran said coldly: "You shouldn't forget that you are running for your life, right?"
"What's wrong with running away? How many people yearn for this place! I've been there many times in my dreams!"
"..."
Ye Qiao rarely interjected: "I heard that the threshold for entering the city is very high, and there are very few exorcists who have been there."
According to most rumors, Freeport is a monster city suspended over the water. It is located in a different space beyond the two worlds. Only powerful humans and monsters can find its entrance.
No one knows exactly where this area is that even the monitoring system of the Monster Elimination Bureau can find, and the method of entering and leaving the free port is even less known. Because of the high threshold, the demon clans that appear in the city are by no means ordinary people. Rare information from all over the world can be collected here, and treasures worth thousands of gold are hidden in the streets and alleys.
"But the free port seems to belong to Yu now..." Xia Ziheng paused here, looking around, only to find that Yu Huai had left when they were discussing with great interest.
Holding six bottles of Coke in his arms, Xu Yinian moved back to the ward from the end of the corridor.
He thought that everyone might want to drink it, so he bought a bottle for everyone. There were no shopping bags in the vending machine, so he could only foolishly carry six soda cans on his shoulders, but at this moment he had a face-to-face meeting with the oncoming ghosts.
Most of the Yaozu's looks are somewhat aggressive, and Yu Huai is no exception. His brow bone lines are very deep, and his eyelids are deeply creased, making his face more dignified and handsome.
In the middle of the night in the corridor of the hospital, his temperament different from ordinary people became more and more obvious. This strange feeling mixed with his outstanding appearance formed an indescribable attraction. The young nurse passing by had been watching him secretly.
Xu Yinian couldn't help asking: "Where are you going?"
Yu Huai stood still in front of him.
"You also have to ask about my itinerary? It's not appropriate." Because of the height difference, he always had to lower his eyes slightly when looking at Xu Yinian, "Or do you think our relationship is better than you and Ye Qiao?"
Xu Yinian hugged the Coke in his arms tightly, and choked back not to be outdone: "Did you run out of recruits, and the vice principal asked you to retreat?"
Yu Huai glanced at his tense forearm, didn't argue with him, instead smiled: "Go back and stay."
After he finished speaking, he passed him and walked forward, when he was suddenly stopped.
"Wait a minute," Xu Yinian held five soda cans in one hand, and threw the remaining bottle of Coke to Yu Huai as handsomely as possible with the other free hand, "It's for you, throw it away if you don't drink it."
The cold soda can was caught firmly, seeing that he left without thanking him or saying goodbye, Xu Yinian curled his lips.
"Brother Xu, you are finally back!" When Xu Yinian returned to the ward, Chen Ran was helping Xia Ziheng out of bed. The two of them hated each other during the process. Feeling the world brighten up, "Thank you thank you!...Huh? You bought me five cans?"
"Dream you." He said as he distributed the Coke to everyone. Xia Ziheng opened the tab with one hand, and said excitedly: "We are going to the Freeport! The vice principal said that the Freeport is in a different space, which is theoretically safe."
Xu Yinian was startled, and then he understood what Yu Huai meant for him to stay.
Thinking of whose territory Liberty Port belongs to, I was still angry with him just now... Xu Yinian directly stuck the cold soda can to his face.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Nan Zhi said, "Do you have any luggage to bring?"
The four said that they had nothing to bring. Xia Ziheng asked if there were any medical institutions in the city.
Nan Zhi's white fingers grabbed the air, and a radiant teleportation spell ball fell into her palm. She clasped her hands together and clapped, and as the spell bead was destroyed, the space suddenly burst open out of thin air. It is obvious that the night is already dark on their side, but the world on the other side is as bright as day.
This is the road to Freeport.
