"I just asked you to help collect the bodies of Concubine Sun and me. Do you really have to act like you're dying?"
Concubine Qian's shocking words caused the three people present to fall silent, especially Concubine Ou, who usually had a good relationship with him. His whole face was distorted, and the word "confused" was almost written on his face.
"Let's go in and talk first." Xia Qi looked up at the sky that had turned into a bloody curtain and reminded the other three.
Everyone nodded in agreement and retreated into a utility room.
After Xia Qi closed the door, Concubine Ou wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Concubine Qian helplessly: "Don't give up on yourself yet, maybe you can still get out."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now that Concubine Qian and Concubine Lin are enemies of each other, Concubine Ou has already classified him as one of her own.
Concubine Qian shook her head and said with a bitter smile: "From the moment I ate people, I couldn't get out..."
Ou Bin was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.
Concubine Qian smiled helplessly: "Who made me so stupid, greedy and selfish? Although I fell into their trap, I don't deserve to die. You don't have to sympathize with me."
Due to Concubine Qian's shocking words, the atmosphere in the entire utility room became weird. The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Xia Qi frowned, trying to change the subject. He took the opportunity to ask, "What do you mean by 'their conspiracy'? Could it be that before Concubine Lin, there were other people with evil intentions?"
It seems that Concubine Lin also came here more than a month ago. The Fengdu copy is so complicated and the palace fighting rules are so complicated that it is impossible for Concubine Lin to rely on her alone.
"That's right, the rules of this copy were jointly established by several super players." Concubine Qian looked at Xia Qi with appreciation.
"Super god player?" My sister was quite surprised when she heard this concept for the first time.
Concubine Qian nodded and said calmly, "The Sin Game is divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced players. Among the advanced players, there is a group of outstanding ones, they are called super god players. Super god players have very strong gaming abilities, they can even establish and change the rules of the dungeon. Before Concubine Lin entered this dungeon, the rules of this dungeon had already been established by the super god players."
"So... Concubine Lin came to this copy just to inherit the copy of the super god player?" Xia Qi asked.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qi discovered the key so quickly. Concubine Qian nodded and said, "Yes, you can think so. But I think this copy is more like a base of Concubine Lin. After all, you all know that his background is unfathomable."
"Then why did he... lower his status to come to this dungeon?" Oupin scratched her head. Concubine Lin could command a super god player, so he must be a super god player as well. "He is a super god player, is he here to play house with us?"
Hearing this, Concubine Qian secretly glanced at Xia Qi, and without waiting for Xia Qi to turn around, she quickly withdrew her gaze.
In fact, Concubine Qian already had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Maybe he wants to gain experience, or maybe there is something he needs or someone he wants to see in this copy." Concubine Qian reminded meaningfully. Xia Qi is so smart, he should know what he is talking about.
Sure enough, Concubine Qian found that Xia Qi's expression became more solemn after hearing his words.
"Noble Concubine Lin is so boring." Concubine Ou sneered and shook her head.
In fact, he had been in the Fengdu dungeon for half a month and found that apart from the numerous rules, there were so few props that he could hardly find anything new. Instead, he was so disgusted by the cannibalistic behavior of others that he couldn't sleep for several days.
Listening to Concubine Ou's complaints about Concubine Lin, Xia Qi sneered in his heart.
Concubine Lin is not bored. She came here specifically to play the palace fighting copy just for him.
"Let's take a break." Xia Qi said.
Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly heard a strange "quack" sound coming from the window behind him. Although the sound was very small, it made people feel creepy.
Relying on his body's instinct, Xia Qi turned his head and slightly tilted his body.
When Xia Qigang left his original standing position, he heard a loud "bang" in his ear, and saw a pale hand passing through the window on his side and suddenly appeared on the side of his face!
This was a man's hand. Due to good maintenance, the man's fingers were exceptionally long, and the fingertips were covered with sharp red nails. As the previous attack had failed, the hand frantically groped around for a while. After identifying the direction clearly, the hand suddenly changed direction and grabbed Xia Qi's face fiercely again!
The tip of the nail was shining coldly, and it looked like a weapon. If Xia Qi was scratched by this claw, he would probably be disfigured on the spot.
In a flash, Xia Qi leaned back, and then another gunshot was heard. The bullet pierced his hand directly, and his palm instantly turned into a burnt mess.
"Brother Xia, are you okay?" When the sister saw Xia Qi dodge the attack of the ghost's claws, she breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put down the gun.
"I'm fine." After Xia Qi stood firm with the help of the wall, he was about to warn the three people, but at this moment, a strange noise came from the window on the right.
He reacted quickly and rolled to the ground. As soon as he rolled out of the window, he heard countless loud noises behind him.
“Bang!”
All the windows behind Xia Qi were broken in an instant and fell to the ground with a loud bang!
Amidst the smoke and broken wood chips, Xia Qi lifted the wood behind him and crawled out while coughing. He looked up and found that the faces of the three people opposite him had become extremely terrified, especially Ou Bin, who pointed at Xia Qi's back and shouted, "Oh my God! Ghost!"
ghost
Haven’t they seen ghosts enough times
Xia Qi was confused and turned his head to look, but when he saw the huge crowd of ghosts behind him, even he was stunned for a moment.
Standing behind them were countless ghosts of all ages and genders. Unlike the human forms they took every night, these ghosts really looked like the ghosts that had been soaked in the well. Their faces were covered with ulcers, and a thin layer of skin was stuck to their faces like tofu skin.
These ghosts had no eyes, and their eyes were as empty as bottomless pits. However, the most terrifying thing was not their appearance but their distorted expressions. These ghosts were grinning with terrified expressions, which looked both creepy and scary.
"Ah ah!" Seeing a group of ghosts raising their arms and rushing towards them, Ou Bin was so scared that she turned around and ran away.
The four of them rushed out directly from the back door. After leaving the room, Xia Qi turned his head and looked behind the ghost, and found that new ghosts were constantly crawling out of the thief well.
This group of ghosts crawled nimbly with fear on their faces and kept shouting "I'm so scared". It looked extremely weird and I couldn't tell whether it was people scaring ghosts or ghosts scaring people.
However, Xia Qi thought that among the seven souls of a person, the fourth soul is called the Swallow Thief, which usually refers to the emotion of "fear" in the human soul. The Swallow Thief Well is an energy point in the instance, and the ghost crawling out of the well showing fear is naturally in line with the instance setting.
"Stop chasing me!" Although the ghosts' expressions were full of fear, their actions were not cowardly. Concubine Ou just ran a little slower, and then Concubine Zhao, who had just been thrown into the well, scratched her clothes on the back.
The four of them ran for their lives and once again climbed over the wall of Shou'an Palace.
However, before the four of them could stand firmly, they discovered that there was chaos outside.
As soon as Concubine Ou landed, she saw the dead Concubine Wu rushing towards her like the wind, with a look of ecstasy on her face.
If Concubine Wu had not opened her mouth full of fangs, Concubine Ou might have thought that she was expressing her desire/desire/dissatisfaction towards him.
The well where Concubine Wu's body was located is the seventh soul of mankind, named Stinky Lung, which represents human "desire".
"Ah, you caught the wrong person!" Concubine Ou was so frightened that her whole body trembled and she ran straight towards Concubine Qian.
Concubine Qian pushed his shoulder and said unhappily, "Why are you coming to me?"
"She is your woman, you have to be responsible!" Concubine Ou grabbed Concubine Qian's sleeve and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"I am only responsible for women, not female ghosts." Although Concubine Qian said this, she waved the clothesline in her hand very lightly. She patted Concubine Wu lightly and pushed away her attacking hand.
"Let's go quickly and don't get entangled with her!" Concubine Qian really didn't want to fight with Concubine Wu, so she urged the three of them to leave quickly.
Finally leaving the attack range of the Stink Lung Well, the four felt like they were alive again.
“Ouch!”
They had not rested for 10 seconds when an exaggerated howl came from behind again. Xia Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran wildly on the palace road again.
After being chased madly by a group of ghosts for half a day, Xia Qi felt that more than half of his physical strength was exhausted. He turned his head to look at his sister and found that the little girl's face was red.
Xia Qi led the three of them around a palace wall and found that behind the wall was a group of little palace maids with tears and blood. They rushed towards them tremblingly, like a group of pitiful girls asking for a hug.
Suddenly seeing such a group of girls with blood coming out of all seven orifices, Ou Bin almost fell to the ground. After she stood up, she cursed loudly: "Fuck! Why are there so many ghosts? What will happen on the Ghost Festival? The Ghost King will have a night banquet, and by then, maybe only ghosts will accompany him to celebrate the festival and perform for him..."
Xia Qi ignored Ou Bin's complaints and ran in the opposite direction with the three of them. While running, he looked around and found that there were more and more living people running on the road. There was also an unlucky newcomer who stumbled and fell to the ground, surrounded by a group of ghosts.
The newcomer who was surrounded obviously did not end up well. Before Xia Qi reached the man, he smelled a disgusting smell of blood.
The four of them ran almost a circle around the perimeter of the palace. They finally managed to take a break to drink a sip of water, but when they weren't paying attention, they were surrounded by ghosts again.
Finally, Xia Qi discovered that the entire Fengdu city had become a real ghost town, and there was almost no place to stay.
Seeing that his sister was about to collapse, Xia Qi gritted his teeth and said, "No more running!"
If they kept running, they would have had a heart attack before the ghosts caught up with them.
"Then where can we go?" Ou Bin was completely desperate. He said with a sad face, "How about we stay on the roof for a while?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the head of a female ghost suddenly fell from the eaves, and with a "pop", the head fell to the ground.
However, even though it fell from a great height, the head did not break into pieces, but rolled to Ou Bin's feet. Before Ou Bin could react, the head suddenly turned over and grinned at him, revealing a blood-red, tattered tongue.
"Ah! I can't stand it anymore!" Concubine Ou kicked the female ghost's head away, then jumped up and climbed onto Concubine Qian.
Listening to the screams of Concubine Ou, Xia Qi suddenly had an idea and said, "Let's go to Wuai Palace!"
"Ah? Are you looking for death?" Upon hearing that Xia Qi was planning to go to Wuai Palace, Concubine Ou was completely stunned.
Wuai Palace is near the Imperial Garden. Now the copy has turned into a state of a hundred ghosts parading at night, and the Ghost King will inevitably be affected.
According to common sense, the situation of the Ghost King is not optimistic, and may even be more terrifying than the group of 100 ghosts parading at night.
"If you don't want to go, then you can just stay here." Xia Qi decided to give Wuai Palace a try.
Wuai Palace was a palace built by the Ghost Emperor specifically for the purpose of enthroning him.
Xia Qi felt that since the Ghost King had carefully prepared this palace for him, he would not allow it to be destroyed by other ghosts at will.
"Let's go over and take a look." My sister was completely exhausted. She stood up by supporting herself against the wall and took the lead to take a few steps forward.
Seeing his sister stumbling and about to fall, Xia Qi reached out and grabbed her sleeve, pulling her forward: "Come on, I'll pull you along."
After having a destination, this time they moved very quickly and arrived near Wuai Palace in 10 minutes.
As Xia Qi expected, everything outside Wuai Palace was peaceful and tranquil, like a paradise on earth.
I saw the white jade palace, as white as the Moon Palace, emitting a soft light in the night. Under the laurel tree beside the steps, a few white rabbits were nibbling on green leaves.
Looking at the peaceful and tranquil Woai Palace, Concubine Ou was so moved that tears came to her eyes.
"Let me go in and take a look first." Xia Qi took the lead and slowly approached the area of Wuai Palace.
Concubine Ou grabbed Concubine Qian's arm, and her forehead was covered with sweat due to nervousness.
He was afraid that after Xia Qi walked in, the ghostly Ghost King would suddenly appear and beat Xia Qi into fertilizer for the laurel tree.
"Pah, pah."
Xia Qi walked slowly towards the laurel tree. When the two little rabbits saw him, they actually jumped towards him and rubbed against his legs, as if they had always known each other.
Xia Qi touched the rabbit's head and walked up the stairs again. When he reached the door, he took a deep breath, raised his hands, pushed open the door in front of him, and walked into the main hall of Wuai Palace.
Xia Qi made a rough inspection in the hall. When he found that it was safe, he turned around and walked outside the hall. He called out to his friends outside the hall: "It's okay. Come in and rest."
Although Xia Qi felt that the atmosphere in Wuai Palace was a bit strange, from the current point of view, he did not find any danger for the time being, so he planned to rest for a while and recover his strength.
As for the Ghost Emperor who is now missing...
Listening to the miserable howls of the ghosts outside the palace, Xia Qi clenched his fists and thought to himself that he would not let him wait too long.
