Huang Jin and Ge Tingting bumped into the side of the cocoon and slid down in embarrassment.
Huang Jin's brain was buzzing - just now Zhong Cheng said that he suddenly knocked over his smoke weapon, to the man's plan in three sentences, and then to himself lying in front of Hu Tao, his heart was pounding, he was almost Dizziness and tinnitus.
It's better now. The crisis is far away, and so is the hope. Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng were not around, and Ge Tingting felt pitiful and helpless to him.
"What should I do?" He lay on the ground helplessly.
"I can hear some noise, maybe it can come in handy." Ge Tingting patted his ears hard.
Huang Jin grimaced and pulled out his bag full of charms and flesh and blood: "Then we have to find Monkey Year, Horse and Moon. Hey, do you have any convenient tools? What I have here are all pure heart charms and smoke bombs for escape, and nothing else. ”
Before, Meng Huai asked them to be handy weapons. Huang Jin worked diligently to create a three-piece set of carving knife, pure heart talisman, smoke bomb, and life-saving life. For a spiritual craftsman, he has endured too many attack demands that he should not bear.
However, as a corpse servant, Ge Tingting should be stretched thin on the other side. Huang Jin couldn't help but become curious about what kind of flesh-and-blood props this guy could come up with.
Sure enough, when this topic was mentioned, Ge Tingting's expression became a little subtle. I don't know if Huang Jin is overthinking it, but he always feels that this girl is avoiding his attention.
"... Ge Tingting, what exactly did you do?" Huang Jin swallowed hard.
The same breath of power is faintly evaporating from beneath his feet. Just now, there was no such subtle sense of oppression under their feet.
"Tell me, little girl. What do you want me to do?"
Ge Tingting heard a sigh in the distance.
Walnuts floated in front of the two of them.
The surrounding milky white strands and canopy-like nests, in Yin Ren's eyes, vaguely transformed into the appearance of the mountain forest thousands of years ago. The Great Heavenly Master Zhong Yi is best at dealing with evil and strange things.
"I know."
"You have quite a lot of demands." "Huang Jin" said lightly.
Qi Xin's version of Huang Jin: "That's fine."
Ge Tingting lit the candle on the spot, and the blood-red light ignited. A few seconds after the flames were ignited, a pin-pricking feeling of gaze descended on my head. Immediately afterwards, the surrounding fog suddenly thickened, and in the rolling thick fog, bones and corpses stuck together poked out from all directions.
Okay, he gets it. People with damaged brains are best suited to be controlled by large elemental objects. He was still thinking about what weapon to use to protect himself, but this little girl was thinking about killing someone with a borrowed knife.
Ge Tingting took out a gray-black candle from his backpack. The candle was as thick as a can, rough in appearance, and there was vaguely minced meat mixed in the grease. It is engraved with improved spell patterns, and the spell itself is also very simple and crude.
At this moment, he was more concerned about Hu Tao himself.
"That's all."
Huang Jin's voice was still the same, with a hint of cold arrogance in it.
Ge Tingting took a deep breath: "If the target is close to us, I hope you can think of a way to lure Yin Ren and the others over. If the target is close to Yin Ren, you don't need to take action, just stay with me nearby. good."
"so troublesome."
Huang Jin, who was possessed by Qi Xin, stood up and showed a smile.
If this thing is ignited, it can accumulate a large amount of "sadness"-related emotions in a small area. What candle? This uncle’s is a Qixin trap!
Ge Tingting explained sincerely: "Qi Xin has always been watching from afar, but she doesn't seem to want to fall out with Yin Ren. We specifically asked her for help, and she wouldn't ignore it."
Ge Tingting froze on the spot, feeling cold all over his body.
Huang Jin rubbed his face vigorously, his eyes wandering: "You will definitely be a figure in the future. Okay, since you still have hearing, I'll do it."
Yin Ren quickly walked towards the nest closest to him, thinking quickly in his mind.
They are full of vigilance and hostility, sometimes far and sometimes close, and you will encounter them accidentally.
The white arms hugged her tightly, and the four arms that had dragged them here did not retract. A total of six arms stretched out from her back, like spider's legs or snail's eyes, poking towards Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng from time to time.
Huang Jin suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart: "Say."
A layer of sweat slowly formed on Huang Jin's forehead: "Fuck, aren't you?"
"This is a candle made of depression, sadness and despair. The simplest resonance array is added to it. The candle wick is made of secret joy." Ge Tingting said in a low voice, "I'm not a spiritual craftsman, so I can't make it." It looks good, don’t be offended.”
"Okay. Don't worry, let her manipulate you, you'll be absolutely safe."
Ge Tingting: "We both have brain damage..."
"There's no one you're looking for here," he said. "There's no sign of it, I'm sure of it."
The sheer emotional resonance amplifies.
Hu Tao's face was covered in blood, but there were strange cracks in the blood, and underneath the cracks was a patch of white. The aura on her body became heavier and thicker, far beyond the limit that a ghost should bear. She was like a bomb cooking on an open fire, ready to explode at any moment.
"It's just the right thing to use now." Ge Tingting answered cautiously, "80% of it can save your life, and it's not very harmful, but... uh..."
Huang Jin: "You mean..."
"Looking for someone." Ge Tingting extinguished the candle, his tone neither humble nor overbearing. "Hu Tao is very likely to be controlled by love. Brother Yin and Brother Zhong want to retain their strength and have not started a war with her yet. Now Hu Tao wants to find the murderer who killed her back then. Please help us find him."
This was the first time Yin Ren had spoken of Zhong Cheng's words. Fortunately, the two of them were about the same height, and he was familiar with Zhong Cheng's habits, so he wouldn't expose his secrets in front of Hu Tao. He walked cautiously, maintaining a polite but safe distance.
"I promised someone that I would not participate in their fight... but helping you doesn't count as a breach of contract. Can I just find someone?"
Is this a question of good-looking or not? Huang Jin’s teeth chattered.
He first put his hand on Ge Tingting's head and took out the memory. Then he closed his eyes, not knowing what he felt, and his eyebrows slowly furrowed.
"This is mutual benefit and win-win. As long as Love doesn't find you, you can also check out the latest situation at close range." Ge Tingting answered the question flawlessly.
Huang Jin: “…”
Huang Jin's head gradually sank, as if he was dozing off. But when he raised his head again, his face became extremely indifferent.
The atmosphere around them changed, and the cocoon jolted for a while. The position of the cocoon they were in should have changed. Aiyi sent Hutao, an acquaintance, to delay time. Most likely, he wanted to put this round cocoon in a tricky place, but he couldn't do it overnight.
When they are really locked up, things will get into trouble.
After the evil consequences were gone, Zhong Cheng said he would make a flesh and blood knife for the time being and use it as a weapon. Now, Zhong Cheng said that the disguised "Lu Xiaohe" was holding him down, and Yin Ren used the blade to cut the silk thread on the face of the cocoon - that person was a skinny middle-aged man, but he was not Ashen.
So he put the silk thread back into place again, his movements meticulous.
Hu Tao snorted coldly: "You're so slow."
"Evil things cannot use magic here, and Yin Ren can't help." Yin Ren said calmly, "Looking at your appearance now, you should know this."
Hutao: "Looking for someone, don't nag me."
Yin Ren looked at his former partner.
There were only bloody pieces of meat in Hu Tao's eye sockets. He could hardly see her eyes, let alone her emotions. But he just knew that she was looking at him right now.
[What are you—? !][I'm warning you, don't mess around, I have registered with Shi'an! ] When she first met Hu Tao, she also looked like this bloody person, but her tone was much more panicked.
It feels like a world away.
"Hutao, did the person who helped you say that you can't bear such power?" Yin Ren left this lair and walked steadily to the next one, his tone sounding as if nothing had happened, "You will collapse if you are exposed to too much evil power."
It's better to be stunned, and let them pass the big explosion by the way. If it's close, it may degenerate into a vicious and irrational evil, and it will not end well.
Even for the evil ghost who is destined to disappear, this is the worst ending. Yin Ren clenched his fists, trying his best to ignore the arms reaching out in front of him.
"I've been looking for him for a long time."
Hu Tao didn't take Yin Ren's words. As soon as she said this, the arms behind her gently retracted and hugged her at the same time, their movements were extremely loving.
"During that period of twenty-nine years ago, there were too many cases in Haigu City and the news couldn't get any news. I wandered around my house and listened to the neighbors' discussions... They said that Ashen fled in fear of crime. So I waited, waited. He was arrested."
Yin Ren softened his voice and did not mention the word "collapse" again: "Then what?"
Hu Tao was silent for a while. She seemed to have forgotten how to speak, so she continued slowly for a long time.
"His ID card, bank card and mobile phone are all at home. How long can such a person abscond? I waited and waited, but the police never caught him."
Yin Ren: "Then you met us."
"Yes, with the spiritual contract, I can go to many places. I heard that he disappeared with many people. I heard that many people were contaminated and acted crazy." Hu Tao's voice became erratic, "We are childhood sweethearts. Having been in love for so long, maybe my parents have always liked him..."
She didn't say anything after all, and dug her fingers into her arms. Her fingers dug deep into her arms, digging out more blood.
Yin Ren's steps slowed down a little.
Maybe the husband's madness, the death of his parents, and all the bloodshed are caused by ghosts and gods. Maybe she was just a small victim before the evil incident...
Hu Tao would go out of his way to get in touch with things like "siwuxie", probably because of similar thoughts.
"I understand." Yin Ren reassured, "You want peace of mind." "Yes, you have to know the reason. Otherwise, I hate not being at ease... I hate not being at ease..." Her voice weakened and became He murmured an unknown meaning, hidden behind his blood-soaked hair.
Yin Ren stopped.
Hutao seemed to have had his tail stepped on, and became energetic again: "Why don't you leave? Why don't you leave?"
"Because I found that there is no point in looking for him." Yin Ren said warmly, "Most of the people who will be trapped here have very strong love. You are thinking, if you find Ashen here, It proves that he loves you and he does it out of necessity."
The arms behind Hu Tao moved restlessly a few times, as if she wanted to attack, but was attracted by this poisonous topic.
"You're right," she said hoarsely, "I have to make sure..."
"You can't be sure."
Yin Ren stood there despite what Zhong Cheng said.
"Even if we find him here, it won't prove anything. You have seen the way Yin Ren ate 'Si Wuxie'. If love is real, does the harm not count?"
"No! He really loves me, how could he do something like that?!" Hutao screamed, "Ashen will personally make breakfast for me, never quarrel with me, and never force me to do things I don't like! When I was sick, he was so anxious that he carried me to the hospital, and his feet were all bruised! I’ve known him for fifteen years, you put it lightly—"
Yin Ren took a step forward. His expression was still frighteningly calm, but he no longer looked like Zhong Cheng.
"Then you must know that with your social circle, you can't come into contact with the ghost market 'Si Wuxie'. Now let me tell you, back then, the gods would make people crazy, but they would not be so crazy that they would hide their eyes from others. When killing people You can definitely feel the gaze, but the murder must have occurred first.”
"Shut up!!!" Hutao covered his ears and hit Yin Ren with an arm instantly. Yin Ren had no defense or even dodge.
A deep blood mark appeared on the left side of his face.
Zhong Cheng said that he subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but then thought of himself carrying Lu Xiaohe's shell. He stood there helplessly, not knowing what to do.
Why doesn't Yin Ren end the conversation? Could it be that the words just said were not just to make the enemy relax
Why didn't Yin Ren find an opportunity to exchange countermeasures with him and just kept talking to Hu Tao
But he couldn't interfere.
Zhong Cheng pursed his lips and looked at Yin Ren, who was a few steps away.
"Ashen is a murderer, and there is no conflict with his love for you. 'Love' is not a universal excuse, and it cannot prove anything. Let me say it again, no matter whether you can find him here or not, he is a definite murderer."
Yin Ren ignored the bleeding wound and continued to speak calmly.
"here."
Yin Ren pointed to his heart.
"... and here," he nodded his temple again, "after all, they are not the same thing."
Hu Tao suddenly rushed in front of Yin Ren, and his chopped face almost touched the tip of Yin Ren's nose. She breathed out evil spirits, and a dozen arms stretched out from her back like a cocoon, making her look like a weird multi-legged insect.
These new arms had the potential to hold her back—apparently, love wasn't stalling long enough.
Yin Ren looked at her quietly, with a hint of sadness gradually appearing on his face.
Pure obsession is the essence of Li Gui, while Hu Tao relies on hatred to survive in the world. Her hatred must have a landing point, a solid enough landing point.
So why, when she argued that "there may be no need to hate Ashen", was her state still so stable
"What on earth do you want to say?" Hu Tao scratched his bloody face hard, "You want to tell me that I don't need to look for him, I just need to hate him down-to-earth?"
"No." Yin Ren said softly, "What I want to say is that you are not wrong."
"Your obsession is whether you made any 'mistakes' that led to the tragedy. Now I tell you, you were not wrong."
Hu Tao suddenly retreated, and she instantly shrank to three or four meters away from Yin Ren, as if he was surrounded by poisonous gas. Xie Yi, who was still spewing resentment just now, looked like a frightened little animal for a moment.
She opened her bloody mouth, as if she wanted to refute, but no sound came out.
Yin Ren sighed in his heart.
"If he was just a poor man who was affected, then he must have been affected before killing. As his closest lover, you failed to detect something was wrong in time. Everyone's death is your fault."
"If he is just a pure cold-blooded perverted murderer. You have known him for fifteen years but did not notice any clues. In this case, the death of your parents is also your indirect fault."
"... Hutao, that's what you thought before, right?"
How can obsession and obsession be something that can be shaken so easily.
Resentment against the murderer is just a facade. Maybe Hu Tao herself didn't realize it, or didn't want to admit it - what she resented was, after all, herself.
Hutao floated in place, with blood dripping from his body toward the ground. The space inside the round cocoon was too white, and when the blood fell to the ground, it suddenly looked like ink.
Yin Ren ignored the dancing arms beside Hu Tao, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of Hu Tao.
The facade is torn away, the abscess is exposed, and only the last step remains.
"A Shen is indeed a murderer. As for the motive, whether he has deep feelings or a bad nature, it is always the person who causes the tragedy, no matter what his reasons are."
"you're not wrong."
Yin Ren's voice was clear and gentle, with a touch of majesty.
"No matter what others say, this is my judgment. If Ashen is still alive, I will help you kill him."
"you're not wrong."
Yin Ren looked directly into Hu Tao's eyes and repeated it a third time.
Walnut floated stiffly, and the arms behind her stopped moving.
After an unknown amount of time, the overwhelming hostility in her body faded a bit and turned into uncertainty. Those arms curled up in confusion, the blood stopped dripping, and the broken flesh on Hu Tao's face slowly gathered together to piece together the broken facial features.
But there were too many white cracks on her face, and the skin could not be healed. That familiar face now looked like a broken porcelain doll.
"... Why do I feel like you don't think so much like Zhong Cheng said, that guy doesn't have that much thought. Could it be that after staying with Yin Ren for a long time, he got enlightened?"
She looked at Yin Ren curiously, as if they met for the first time in the living room. Her tone was lighter, a bit like before.
"What you said makes sense. I really haven't thought about it seriously before. Let's go and chat while we look for it."
Yin Ren didn't move.
The girl in front of him was wearing pajamas, with white cracks all over her body. In a daze, she showed a slightly troubled expression, and her bloody facial features wrinkled slightly.
The arms behind her seemed to have noticed something. They swayed dangerously, and the power they exuded became stronger and stronger, and the white cracks on Hu Tao's body became more and more obvious.
Hu Tao himself still maintained the state of being awake but not awake, showing a soft expression: "Zhong Cheng said?"
"I have seen many evil ghosts." Yin Ren said softly, "You were such a good person in life that you were not annoying even when you turned into a evil ghost."
"...Zhong Cheng said?" This time Hu Tao's call was a little more uncertain.
In an instant, her long hair was fluttering and her red clothes were like fire.
Yin Ren took off his disguise and put a hand on Hu Tao's forehead. He lowered his eyes, and there was a rare smile on his face.
And his hands were covered in bright red blood.
The Great Celestial Master Zhong Yi is good at exorcising evil spirits.
The essence of the evil ghost is pure obsession. When the obsession is broken, the evil ghost will disappear like snow melting. And the wavering of obsession is the first crack.
There was a moment of surprise on Hutao's face, and then she showed a "Sure enough" expression and laughed in a daze.
Countless arms hugged her, pushing her, and the power of love stirred wildly, but she just pressed her forehead against that hand.
"Forget it, you said you would help me kill him. No more looking for him."
she says.
"Mom and dad won't blame me, right?"
The scenery inside the round cocoon is like the purest ice and snow, and this piece of ice melts quietly.
Those arms held nothing.
The huge power was about to explode, but it lacked the key fulcrum and eventually dissipated.
