The mysterious person who had been texting Tang Ning all the time finally revealed his true intentions.
If saving Qin Jiaqi was the sincerity expressed by this mysterious person, then how did the other party help Qin Jiaqi escape the control of the evil spirit? What did Du Feng say after leaving Qin Jiaqi's house last night? What kind of cooperation does this mysterious person want to develop
Tang Ning first glanced at Du Feng. He thought that Du Feng should have some connection with this mysterious person. However, Du Feng did not show any special reaction when he received the number. Was it that Du Feng and this mysterious person were working together to do something bad, or was Du Feng really unaware of the existence of this mysterious person
Tang Ning did not proactively ask Du Feng. He quickly sent a message to Lin Yun and briefly told him everything he had learned from following Du Feng last night. After Lin Yun received Tang Ning's message, he appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was in an uproar.
The key point of the current incident is whether Qin Jiaqi has really recovered. If Qin Jiaqi can still come back to life after being attacked by the evil spirit, it means that as long as they cooperate with that mysterious person, the players in this sub-world will have a golden medal of immunity from death.
This temptation is deadly to the players. They are now worried every day about being attacked by evil spirits with their appearance. For example, Lin Yun has to put on a talisman every night and cannot sleep well, for fear that his body will move around once he falls asleep.
But Lin Yun did not let the temptation get to his head. He had to lose more than he gained from the unknown. He took a deep breath and said to Tangning, "Ask Qin Jiaqi the specific questions first to see if they match up."
Tangning had no objection to this. Lin Yun walked to the door and asked a question about the card game. He was very cryptic. Qin Jiaqi understood the question and answered it one by one. Lin Yun opened the door a crack and asked cautiously, "Can I touch your hand?"
Ghosts are generally cold, but of course there are some special ghosts. After a series of confirmations, Lin Yun finally opened the door for Qin Jiaqi.
Qin Jiaqi was overjoyed and kept thanking Tang Ning and the others.
"No need to say thank you, tell us what you've been going through these days?"
Qin Jiaqi quickly recounted her experience of the day. On the first night, she was approached by a fierce ghost on the bus. The chill filled her body and she was trapped in a dark and cold world. Although she was conscious, she could not see or hear anything and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
It was not until last night that the power that had been restraining her suddenly disappeared. It took Qin Jiaqi most of the day to regain control of her body. After failing to contact other players in the group, she ran to the company to find everyone.
While Qin Jiaqi was recounting her experiences, Tang Ning kept observing Du Feng's expression. Perhaps it was because his observation skills were too weak, or Du Feng's acting skills were too superb, but Tang Ning did not notice any flaws on Du Feng's face. It seemed that Du Feng, like them, was also learning about Qin Jiaqi's affairs for the first time.
Lin Yun also briefly told Qin Jiaqi about what happened that day. Everyone found that the breakthrough might be with this mysterious person, or with Du Feng, but they couldn't get anything out of Du Feng.
"Contact him." Lin Yun paused for a moment and said to Tangning, "Ask him what they want to collaborate on."
Soon, Tangning received a mysterious reply:
"Take off the ring and leave Gengxi. I will help you and your friends come back alive."
Tangning was not surprised by this answer. The other party's previous request was to take off the ring. Tangning had too many questions to ask, and Lin Yun did not stop her. She let Tangning get all the answers at once. Since they wanted to cooperate, she had to know this information.
"Why did you ask me to take off the ring? Why did you ask me to leave Gengxi? Who are you? Why did you do this?"
Tangning held the phone in her hands and waited for a reply. The other party replied very quickly:
"If you don't take the ring, you will never be able to get rid of Gengxi. I am here to save you. Only I can help you cut off your relationship with those things."
"My purpose is simple. I just want to bring those things back to where they belong."
"If you don't break away from Gengxi, it will kill you sooner or later."
Words like a curse.
Tangning touched the ring on his neck. He read the contents in silence, but more doubts arose in his mind. Staring at the string of words, Tangning finally couldn't help but ask what was bothering him, "You keep saying that Gengxi is it. What exactly is it? Why did it choose me? Why did it hurt me? Where is it going back to?"
The unspoken question is, is this a snake? Is Gengxi a snake demon or something like that
"Please go to a place where there is no one but you, make sure no one can receive the message I send, and I will only tell you one answer."
…
Tang Ning drove back home. It was his first time going home during working hours. As soon as he opened the door, he heard a gentle song coming faintly from the room.
Tang Ning guessed that it was a song recorded by Geng Xi.
A nice little song.
The golden sunlight shone through the French windows and embraced the roses in the vase. These were the roses Geng Xi had used when he proposed to Tang Ning yesterday. The delicate flowers were well taken care of, and were gorgeous and red like condensed love, like a drop of heart blood taken from a burning chest. But Tang Ning knew that the moment the roses were picked, the countdown to rotting began.
He looked at all the warmth in the house. It was undoubtedly a little house full of love.
Perhaps because of the surveillance cameras installed in Gengxi's living room, the gentle and low song soon stopped. Gengxi walked out of the room and looked at Tangning in surprise, with a slightly surprised tone, "Xiaoning, why are you back so early today?"
As their eyes met, Tang Ning felt a little depressed.
His throat still couldn't speak.
He was glad that he couldn't speak, so he didn't have to pretend to speak naturally.
Tangning opened the memo on her phone and showed it to Geng Xi, "Didn't you say you wanted to get married at the Civil Affairs Bureau? Have you prepared the necessary documents?"
Geng Xi nodded without hesitation, with joy in her eyes: "Xiao Ning, are you coming back so early to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me? That's great, but isn't it too rushed now? We haven't decided what to wear yet."
Geng Xi talked a lot, his words were messy and it was rare for him to speak so. When he asked Tang Ning, "Are you ready?" Tang Ning forced a smile and said, "I want to get proof first."
Geng Xi paused for a moment, and his endless chatter stopped. He looked at Tang Ning quietly. Before Tang Ning could avoid Geng Xi's sight, Geng Xi turned around and went back to the bedroom.
Tang Ning's Adam's apple rolled, he held his breath and followed Geng Xi's steps, walked into the house with Geng Xi, opened the safe, and took out the documents needed for the marriage, which were two household registrations and ID cards.
It's a small document, but it's a proof that exists in this meeting.
When Tang Ning reached out to take it, Geng Xi's fingers, which were pinching the corner of the document, did not loosen.
Tang Ning was not very strong, so he couldn't take it away for a while.
Tangning's eyelashes fluttered as he looked into those amber eyes. Geng Xi looked straight at him and asked softly, "Xiao Ning, are you really ready?"
"I" made a faint sound from my throat, like a whimper.
Am I really ready
The truth that Mysterious told him overlapped with the truth that Geng Xi was telling him. Tang Ning wanted to loosen his fingers timidly. He was filled with fear and hesitation about opening Pandora's box.
However, Geng Xi let go of his hand first. Tang Ning almost lost his grip on the documents due to inertia. He quickly caught the two documents with both hands. A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his palms.
Calm down.
Tang Ning kept breathing in and out. He lowered his eyes and looked at the two ID cards in his hand. One was "Tang Ning's" ID card, and the other was obviously Geng Xi's.
However, the ID card with Gengxi’s face printed on it did not have Gengxi’s name on it.
An extremely unfamiliar word caught my eye—
Xi Yun.
But the next column for ethnicity is "Miao".
Tangning's hands were shaking as he held the ID card. His voice was weak and every word he squeezed out of his throat was extremely painful. Tangning frowned and asked softly, "Why are the words on your ID card different?"
"Xi Yun is my Miao, Geng Xi is my Han." He was gentle.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tangning asked unsteadily.
His throat tasted a little bloody. Forcing himself to speak would only make the injury worse, but Tang Ning still spoke. He hoped that the card would influence Geng Xi to tell him the truth.
"I'm just looking for the right time." Geng Xiqing: "When you love me, I'm willing to tell you everything."
is that so
It seems to be true. If there were no card games, Gengxi and "Tang Ning" would be talking about marriage. They would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with their ID cards. "Tang Ning" would notice the different characters and nationalities on the ID cards, and Gengxi would tell him -
But will Gengxi really tell Tang Ningquan
"Then you can tell me now," Tang Ning said with difficulty.
Geng Xi did not speak immediately.
He stared into Tangning's eyes. A hint of a smile still appeared on that handsome face. It was not a deep smile, but a hint of distress and deeper sadness. He said softly, "But Xiaoning doesn't love me."
Yes.
Tang Ning didn't love him, or rather "it".
Xi Xun, Xun, Tang Ning just learned the pronunciation of this word from that mysterious mouth.
Yun is a transliteration of Gu.
There is a kind of Gu in Miao language pronounced as Yun Zhong, which is translated as Yun Gu. Its full name is Mu Yun Gu, also known as "Gu" or "Gu".
Although the name "Gu" contains the word "Gu", the other half is "Gu", so this thing cannot be considered real.
Gengxi, Xi Yun, he, or it, is in a sense a Gu with a certain appearance. The scent of the third Gu on Tang Ning's body belongs to it.
