"What is Gu?" Although Lin Yun guessed the general meaning based on the word, he was worried that he had misunderstood it, so he asked specifically.
"Gu is an evil Gu. It can make people fall in love with a Gu Master they have never met." Du Feng's voice was a little excited. He looked at Tang Ning, but found that Tang Ning was not too surprised.
insanity.
It's really a Gu
Tang Ning initially suspected that Geng Xi had been bewitched by a Gu. After all, the love in the memo always seemed to come and go quickly. But later on, he was not sure. He did not expect Du Feng to make the final decision.
But why did Du Feng only discover that this was a Gu at the end
Is it because Gu is hard to distinguish? Or is it that Gu itself is a kind of Gu with a very light smell
Tang Ning couldn't help but wonder, so he typed a question to Du Feng.
"The smell of Gu shouldn't be very light, but the smell of Gu on you is very light." Du Feng thought for a while and guessed, "Maybe Geng Xi wanted to hide from him that you fell in love because of Gu, so he made a special cover-up!"
"But I..." Tang Ning wanted to type "But I don't like Gengxi", but just as he started, he paused.
He was held by that person as they walked down the long and dark stairs. After he gently put him into the light and said "Go back quickly" in Gengxi's voice, something seemed to have changed slightly.
Tang Ning lowered his eyes and looked at the ring on his finger. Was it the ring that increased the power of the Gu
Du Feng looked at Tang Ning, seeing her staring at the ring. There was something very precious in those beautiful eyes. It was not the brilliance of the reflected diamond, but the feeling that Du Feng had always longed for, which was more precious than diamonds.
Du Feng opened his mouth, wanting to ask Tang Ning to take off the diamond ring, but thinking of Tang Ning's fragile expression, he couldn't bear to ask this question.
Du Feng stared at the ring with some annoyance, like a thorn in the eye, and clenched his fingers wrapped around the cloth into a fist, "It's fake."
His aggrieved mutterings echoed in the quiet room.
It whimpered like a giant puppy that was afraid to get angry.
Everyone looked at Du Feng, including Tang Ning.
Du Feng frowned. He looked angry and sad, but when he looked at Tangning, he still looked at her eagerly as before, "Geng Xi used despicable means to deceive your feelings. Your love for him is fake, all fake!"
Tang Ning sensed Du Feng's anger.
The other side is like seeing some other bad dog cheating and they wish they could step in as the referee and kick the opponent out.
"If the poison is removed, you will like me!" Du Feng vowed.
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how to respond to Du Feng's words. If she was at a loss, she should just smile, right
Thinking of this, Tangning tentatively gave Du Feng an encouraging smile.
Unexpectedly, Du Feng’s watch became even uglier.
He said with a little shock, a little grievance, and a bit of confusion and doubt: "Don't you like me?"
It's like a dog with a sign asking for adoption but suddenly gets turned away.
Ah this.
Tangning didn't even know whether she was going to shake her head or nod. After all, she didn't know if Du Feng was a real dog. If he was a snake, he would definitely not like it...
"Cough cough." Lin Yun suddenly coughed softly, like an invigilator who just watched and worried about nothing.
Tang Ning immediately recalled the principle of keeping the balance and shook his head.
Du Feng could see Tang Ning's perfunctory attitude, which was just like the way Du Feng treated the players in his early teen years.
If it was someone else, Du Feng would have been furious, but the person who treated him like this was Tangning, who still had the diamond ring firmly on her finger. He even told Tangning that it was okay to wear it.
Du Feng turned his head unwillingly, and the feather earrings on his earlobes swung like a defeated rooster.
Not bad, not at all.
Tangning looked at Lin Yun awkwardly.
In this situation, even Lin Yun could not find any remedy. Lin Yun was already keenly aware of the ring Gu that Du Feng was really born with. If these two things were not removed, Du Feng would definitely not feel better.
"Everyone, tell us what you discovered while watching the videos these days." Lin Yun changed the subject.
"I haven't found Uncle Mu yet." Chen Yan said solemnly.
Not only Chen Yan did not find any information about Uncle Mu, the same was true for other players. During the three days in the dungeon, they spent most of their time watching videos.
It’s not that Uncle Mu only appeared in that corpse-driving video. His name was mentioned in many other videos. But every time his part appeared, the video would inexplicably malfunction.
Once was a coincidence, but when it fails every time, it makes people think that Uncle Mu has resorted to some tricks, or that Uncle Mu is not a human being at all.
The players looked at each other and saw similar expressions on each other's faces.
A mysterious NPC instructed a group of outsiders to commit suicide and drive corpses, and finally disappeared without a trace.
What role does the other party play in this copy
"How should we find Uncle Mu?" Chen Yan analyzed, "The one who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. Since Uncle Mu asked us to drive the corpses, it is very likely that he wants to know the identities of those corpses. If we can get something out of Uncle Mu, and add the solution Du Feng said, we can return those things to their native places and everything will be fine."
Lin Yun took a deep breath and said, "Let's watch the video again. There must be clues in this kind of thing. It depends on when we find them."
There are five of them in total. Du Feng and Tang Ning watch the Miaojiang part together, and the other three players watch the Xiangxi part. One reason for this distribution is that the first video that Uncle Mu appeared in was the Xiangxi part.
Lin Yun pinched the bridge of his nose. He had already realized the difficulty of this copy.
Uncle Mu is a key character, and the card game requires them to find any clues about Uncle Mu. It will take them about two days to finish watching the rest of the videos.
If someone is lucky enough to find Uncle Mu's video earlier, everyone will save some time. And if fewer players have accidents on the bus at the beginning, they will be able to progress faster.
In an eight-player game, four people had accidents in one day, and half of the players were gone. This start was not good, but not too bad either.
"By the way, Tangning, what are you going to do with that text message?" Zeng Yishuang asked.
Tangning also wondered what was going on with that strange number. The video that the other party sent was half a day ago. Why did they send it half a day later
Tang Ning simply explained his message, and the players who had requested it responded in different ways.
"What does the owner of this number want by sending these two text messages?" Lin Yun asked. "One is, don't trust Geng Xi and throw away the ring. The other party wants you to doubt Geng Xi and not wear the ring that can enhance the power of Gu."
"The second one is a video of you, Gengxi, being poisoned. The video has been processed and the place where the poison worm appears has been magnified so that it can be recognized at a glance. In addition, we have Du Feng here, and Du Feng will tell you, Gengxi, that you have been poisoned."
"As Gengxi's boyfriend, your feelings towards Gengxi will definitely change after hearing this news. In a more drastic way, you might even break up with her?" Lin Yun added, "But I'm not sure about the effect of Gu on people. But no matter what, you will doubt Gengxi because of the two videos."
Tangning nodded.
However, he was already suspicious of Geng Xi before watching the video. This video was destructive to the original Tang Ning, but it actually had no effect on the current Tang Ning.
Because Tang Ning didn't care whether their previous love was real or not, he only cared whether Geng Xi was a snake or a prince.
"What that person did is to break your feeling, Gengxi. If there is a problem with your feeling, will that person gain any benefit?" Chen Yan also joined the discussion.
"Love, hate, and vengeance. Does that person love or hate one of you, Gengxi?" Zeng Yishuang thought divergently.
This guess was a bit plausible, Tangning nodded. But what if he took away the ring? He watched two videos in a row. If he was suspicious of Gengxi, he would most likely throw away Gengxi's ring.
The text message from the mysterious number was asking Tangning to throw away the ring. Maybe Tangning threw it away and the person picked it up.
"In the video above, was this person a person who knew how to use Gu just passing by and happened to film that scene, or was this person planning this for a long time?" Lin Yun stroked his chin, "This person must know something about Gu or be proficient in it, otherwise he wouldn't have magnified the Gu worm on purpose when recording the video. Judging from the text message, he doesn't want Tangning and Gengxi to have a good impression of each other, and he really wants Tangning to take off her ring."
As Tangning listened, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Wait, isn't this—
Tang Ning raised his eyes hesitantly and looked carefully at Du Feng who was sitting next to him but remained silent.
Although Du Feng's performance was consistent with what Lin Yun said, Du Feng also told Tang Ning that she could continue to wear the ring. Du Feng's performance also looked like Tang Ning was bewitched. If Du Feng was the one who filmed the video, then his shock was just an act.
Then her acting skills are much better than Tang Ning's.
Tangning shook his head and gave up his original guess. He typed, "Should I send a text message to ask back?"
"Wait a little longer. The owner of this number can contact us anytime he wants, and even if we want to ask him, he has the right not to reply." Lin Yun said calmly, "Leave it alone for now and see what else he wants to do. Let's continue watching the video now."
No one had any objection to this arrangement, and Tang Ning sat in front of the computer with Du Feng to watch the video about Miaojiang.
After reading part of it, Tang Ning felt a little sleepy. In fact, he had been feeling sleepy when everyone was discussing just now. Now that he didn't need to rack his brains to think, Tang Ning's little head was really moving little by little, like a chick pecking at rice.
"The side effect of the powder I sprinkled on you is drowsiness and fatigue." Du Feng explained.
Tangning felt that this side effect was much better than being poisoned by a poisonous insect. He stared at the screen with sleepy eyes. The next second, he suddenly became alert and all his sleepiness disappeared.
Tangning in the video smiled and said, "We can now go find the Miaojiang Du Feng that Uncle Mu recommended~"
