The world in the mirror reproduces the entire scene outside, the only difference is that the left and right images are reversed, the position of the items has changed, and there is still a faint light, even if Cheng Zhichu left the flashlight outside, he can barely See the dark and deep passage so that you don't hit the wall.
What's more, there is the groom holding him and taking him through the tortuous passage without letting him go astray. The bear and the spirit coins are leading the way in front, and the speed is getting faster and faster. The groom scolded him, so he had to slow down reluctantly.
With the bridegroom's cold fingers clasping his wrists, Cheng Zhichu was a little uneasy, and all that rolled in his mind were the whispers of "Cold Branches Falling White" before he was included in the illustrated book.
"Whether it's him, or any other "Bai Yi"..."
In fact, he had previously felt that Bai Yi seemed to be a little mysterious, and he might be hiding something, such as why Bai Yi chose the death mode, and whether he encountered any bad situation in reality.
Now he knows that Bai Yi may have been decapitated by Mr. Mu six years ago, and Bai Yi who is playing the game has no real entity, it may just be his soul, or he may have found a special method new body made.
Bai Yi entered the game at the same time as him. It seems that he is just a novice player, but if this is the case, where is Bai Yi's soul during the six-year blank window
Did he wake up only recently? Then does he know what happened to his body in reality... And what is more than one Bai Yi referring to
The more he thought about it, the more confused and distressed Cheng Zhichu became. He intuitively thought that things were not so simple and Bai Yi was probably hiding a lot of things from him, but he didn't want to blame Bai Yi at all, he just wanted to. Do your best to help Bai Yi, and hope that one day he can return to reality intact.
Because Bai Yi is the person he likes.
And the culprit responsible for Bai Yi's death was the owner "Mr. Mu"...
Cheng Zhichu suddenly tightened his fingers, a surge of anger surged in his heart, recovered from his meditation, and turned his eyes to the passage to the dark.
The little bear had just sharply smelled the stench and blood, but now this smell has also entered Cheng Zhichu's nose, becoming more and more intense, even disgusting, which means that they are getting closer and closer to the location of the head. .
This smell... How many people did Mr. Mu kill and how many corpses were piled up to have such a strong smell
Cheng Zhichu covered his mouth and nose. In addition to his anger, his heart was filled with an uncontrollable sense of consternation and fear. corpse.
"Mr. Mu's strength and aura left here are very weak."
The spirit coins rolled forward and whispered in Cheng Zhichu's ear.
"It's true that he hasn't come back here for a long time. According to my feeling, it has been at least a year, or even more than a year."
"The arrangement and traps he left here are basically useless because there is no supplement of strength. Otherwise, even with my good luck bonus, you would not be able to come in so easily."
"Something must have happened to him, or even dead, otherwise he couldn't have come back here for so long."
"Here is everything for him, as important as his life, and if it weren't for him being trapped or dead, I can't think of a third possibility that he would let him abandon his good fortune."
It would be great if this beast really died, I hope he died in a tragic way, so tragic that he died without a whole body, the kind that was smashed all over...
Cheng Zhichu cursed Mr. Mu fiercely in his heart, scolding almost all the swear words he knew, and by this time they had reached the end of the passage.
"arrive."
The spirit coin reminded him, and the little bear also whimpered a few times.
Cheng Zhichu raised his eyes and looked in front of him. This was a black stone door with intricate patterns and reliefs, and it was tightly closed. However, the strong rancid smell could not be concealed from the gap under the door.
Trying to ignore the little bear's saliva, Cheng Zhichu picked up the spirit coin and threw it again. He got the clown's side, and had good performance as a blessing.
The groom asked Cheng Zhichu to take a few steps back, put his palms on the black door, and slowly pushed open the heavy stone door toward the two sides in front.
"Shh-"
The scene in Cheng Zhichu's eyes was gloomy and bizarre, causing him to open his eyes slightly.
This place is clearly underground, but in his sight, there is a gray and gloomy sky, and below is the boundless earth, which blends together in the extreme distance, forming a horizon.
The ground is black soil, and there are many strange and twisted trees above. The roots of the trees are intertwined, the branches are bare, and there is not a single leaf. The limbs were twisted together and painted with black paint, which looked extremely terrifying.
The crows swept past in groups, stayed on the branches, and made an unpleasant cry.
There is a suffocating stench in the air, and the ground is full of scattered corpses, some of which have been turned into bones, while others seem to have just died and are gradually rotting, revealing black-red and pus-filled carrion, flies and insects. Drilling in and out, making a "humming" sound.
In addition to these unburied corpses, there are tombstones scattered like the ocean, raised tomb bags one by one, with simple wooden signs inserted, only a few of them are relatively flat and can barely be called a tomb.
In a very distant place, a hazy and twisted figure slowly passed by and disappeared at the end of the horizon, as if being swallowed up by the sky.
Shocked by the hellish scene in front of him, it took a long time for Cheng Zhichu to recover, and he shuddered instantly. He couldn't even imagine how many people had died here, and whether they all died at the hands of Mr. Mu.
[This is the mass grave. 】
The system reminded: [As long as you find the head of the groom, you can kiss him here. 】
Because the stench here was so strong, Cheng Zhichu felt sick to his stomach, and every time he breathed, he had to buy medicine in the mall, and after taking it, he barely calmed down.
And the system's words made him even more shocked - if he didn't have spiritual coins, he was just looking for the head of the groom in this boundless mass grave, and he didn't know how long it would take.
And there may also be Bai Yi's head and corpse...
Cheng Zhichu closed his eyes and felt extremely depressed. The only thing fortunate was that the head of the groom was in this mass grave. He could kiss the groom directly, complete the "Oath Kiss", end this dungeon, and completely solve the problem of "cold branches falling." White" and the Curse of the Ring.
Later, he might be able to find Bai Yi's body here and find a way to resurrect him.
"Ding-"
The blood-colored spirit coin was thrown by Cheng Zhichu once again, making a crisp sound, and at the same time he made his wish in his heart.
"Let me find Bai Yi and the groom's body smoothly."
The spirit coin fell into his hands, still the face of a lucky clown. At the same time, the groom seemed to remember something, or found something, and began to walk straight in a certain direction.
The bridegroom moved very fast. Cheng Zhichu was held by his wrist and followed behind him with a trot. The snow-colored wedding dress fluttered in the air, in stark contrast to the terrifying scene around him. The only bright color.
They passed through stone monuments and tombs, and the crow's eyeballs resting on the branches rolled and stared at them, and the black pupils reflected the figures of the two people under the tree.
"… found it."
Suddenly, the bridegroom's footsteps stagnated and stopped in front of a stone monument.
"right here."
"I can feel my head buried here."
The groom's head is inside
Cheng Zhichu stopped panting slightly, and when he heard what the groom said, he quickly took out his wrist from his hand and went around him to look at the tombstone together.
At the same time, he noticed the blood-red text engraved on the tombstone.
That was the name of the person buried under the tomb.
"… "
Cheng Zhichu's pupils shrank suddenly, revealing an incredible look of surprise.
The groom knelt down on one knee, stroked the two bloody words with his fingers, and read it out in a low voice.
"… Bai Yi."
what happened…
Could it be that the heads of the groom and Bai Yi were buried together...
Or…
Cheng Zhichu was terrified, suddenly began to feel dizzy, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground, a terrifying gust of wind and waves set off in his heart.
He suddenly remembered what the groom had said to him before.
The groom once saw the villa of "Rose Manor" and the children of the Bai family in his memory, and there he saw Bai Xixing when he was a teenager.
However, when he showed the photo of Bai Yi when he was a teenager to the groom and asked if Bai Yi was among these children, the groom denied it, but also said that Bai Yi looked familiar.
At that time, Cheng Zhichu didn't care too much, but watching the groom insert his hands into the black soil and slowly hold up a pale head, an extremely terrifying conjecture formed in his heart instantly, making his teeth tremble. .
... If the groom is Bai Yi, of course he will be familiar with "Rose Manor", and also familiar with Bai Yi, but he has not found Bai Yi among the children of the Bai family.
Because that's what Bai Yi saw with his own eyes...
The groom held out his head and wiped off the dirt on it little by little, gradually revealing his complete facial features.
The young man's eyes were tightly closed, handsome and beautiful, with black hair hanging down, thin lips and a straight nose, and the pale tear moles at the corners of his eyes revealed a bit of flirtation.
That was the look that Cheng Zhichu was very familiar with and liked very much.
The groom wiped off the dust on his head, aligned the face with facial features and the front of his body, and gently placed it on top.
The staggered fractures were accurately connected, gradually healed together, and regrown into smooth skin, naturally one, as if it had never been separated.
The bridegroom with a white face twitched the corners of his lips a little, and smiled at Cheng Zhichu. His stiff eyebrows gradually became soft and vivid, his throat rolled, and the original unfamiliar voice also changed, and it turned into a voice that Cheng Zhichu was most familiar with. .
"Knowing the beginning."
"Pfft!"
Cheng Zhichu's expression was blank, but he didn't hold back, and sat directly on the ground.
[You found the head of the groom. 】
【You can complete your vowed kiss. 】
[Complete the side quest: find objects. 】
【Earn rewards:? 】
[After completing all the contents of the dungeon, the rewards you have obtained will be distributed. 】
The little bear standing next to him saw this, and uttered a terrified "woo", so frightened that the tip of his tail was shaking.
Why do they have the same face as my father, and the ghost who kissed my mother just now, why are they all the same, and their breath is the same as my father...
Do they all have a very close relationship with their father...
Its small head couldn't think about this overly complicated question, and the glass bead-like black eyes revealed a very dazed look.
"Knowing the beginning, don't be afraid."
The young and handsome man stretched out his hand towards Cheng Zhichu. He was dressed in a black suit and looked even more elegant. When he smiled gently, no one could refuse his charm.
"Bai Yi," he said, "that's my name."
"I've remembered everything."
He took Cheng Zhichu's violently trembling hand, slid his fingertips over the ring on it, and said in a low voice.
"I've always had a crush on you. This is the ring I made for you a long time ago, with your name engraved on it."
"It has always been with me, and I want to wait until one day in the future to give it to you with my own hands - the day when I can finally gather the courage to meet you again."
"But before I could wait for this day to come, I was killed and buried in the ground."
"Until you pick up my ring, wake me up, and let me find you again."
He clings to Cheng Zhichu's hand and drops a pious kiss on the knuckles wearing the ring. When he looks up, his eyes are full of affection, and all that is reflected in his pupils is Cheng Zhichu's figure.
Classical music suddenly sounded in the air, melodious and joyful, out of tune with the surrounding scene, a pair of bones suddenly stretched out from the tomb, swayingly climbed out of the skeleton frame, and the rotting flesh on the ground also bounced, Stacked together, barely forming a human figure.
They slowly gathered around, clapping their grotesque hands, as if to set off a happy atmosphere.
The soft corpse wriggled up to the tree, broke off the branches, and suffocated the crow and threw it to the ground. Several corpses gathered around, plucked the crow's feathers, weaved it together, tied it into a bouquet, and passed it one by one. , and handed it into the hands of the groom.
"We are a natural couple..."
The man gently opened Cheng Zhichu's fingers, put the weird bouquet in his hand, and said with a smile on his face.
"I can't wait to propose to you."
"Zhichu, will you marry me?"
His fingers were stinged by the rough branches, and Cheng Zhichu suddenly shuddered. He recovered from the terrifying shock just now, but facing the man in front of him, his brain was still extremely confused. The branches fall into white." said.
More than one Bai Yi...
Is this the meaning of "Cold Branches Falling White" - Bai Yi's corpse came to life and became another Bai Yi
What happened to "Cold Branches Falling White", is he also another form of existence of Bai Yi? And is it not just these two people, there may even be more "Bai Yi" existing at the same time—
"Boom!"
Cheng Zhichu was pinned to the ground by the groom, the "bouquet" in his hand flew out, feathers and branches scattered all over the floor.
The man caressed his eyebrows with love and pity, his eyes were tender and sweet, but his nails became sharp and long, easily piercing the tender skin of the person under him, oozing red blood beads.
"It may be a little painful next, Zhichu, don't be afraid, just a moment, I will take out your soul."
"I still can't be resurrected after all. If I leave this place, my body will slowly rot, but you can't survive here, so I must kill you."
"You're going to be a ghost so we can stay together forever and be a real couple."
Hearing the bridegroom's affectionate and brutal words, Cheng Zhichu's heartbeat stopped for a moment, and the groom's sharp nails had pierced the skin of his neck, as if to cut off his head directly.
The kiss of the vow... He must kiss quickly! !
Cheng Zhichu quickly came to his senses. Regarding the groom's move to kill him, because he had experienced similar scenes several times before, he was not very flustered, and there was no shock from "the groom might be Bai Yi's corpse". bigger.
He raised his hand and hooked the back of the groom's neck, and took the initiative to bring his face closer, his lips almost pressed against the groom's, but at this moment, he hesitated.
- If the groom is included in the illustrated book and the groom disappears, Bai Yi will lose his body, will it be impossible for Bai Yi to be resurrected in the future
Facing Cheng Zhichu's closeness, the groom was slightly startled, his fingers flicked, his nails were cut deeper instantly, and a small stream of blood spurted out.
The little bear froze for a while, then screamed out in an instant, rushed over and bit the groom's wrist, hung on it, and reminded Cheng Zhichu with a "woo woo" to let him quickly break free from the groom.
Bai Yi may never get out of the game...
Cheng Zhichu's body trembled, holding the groom's wrist, his blood-stained face showed pain, although he was terrified, but thinking of Bai Yi, he still couldn't kiss the bridegroom's lips immediately.
All this happened in an instant, and the spirit coin also flicked with a "clang", revealing the face of a clown, to reverse the luck for Cheng Zhichu.
[Fool, what are you struggling with, do you still want to sacrifice yourself for Bai Yi? Bai Yi doesn't need it! 】
【If you die, nothing will be left! And there will be a way to solve this problem, you kiss him! ! 】
The system's roar sounded like a thunderous sound in Cheng Zhichu's ear, which made him wake up and suddenly realized how stupid his thoughts just now were.
Even if he dies here now, he can't let Bai Yi get out of the game and return to his own body, and if he dies, there will be no one to help Bai Yi in the future, so he must not die, according to the system. Here's another way to help Bai Yi!
These thoughts flashed through Cheng Zhichu's mind like lightning, making him ignore the blood running on his neck, holding the groom's handsome face, and sticking his blood-stained lips to the groom's lips.
In the face of Cheng Zhichu's active approach, even if he thought of killing him directly for a second, at this moment, the groom couldn't refuse. His eyes showed joy, and he began to respond to his bride with great enthusiasm.
The wet sound of water rang between the two's entangled lips, and the groom shook off the bear hanging from his wrist, hugged Cheng Zhichu's waist, and imprisoned him in his arms, not giving him any chance to break free.
Cheng Zhichu was sucked by him until the tip of his tongue became numb, he could not breathe smoothly, and he had no intention of breaking free, even his heart beat faster and his whole body became weak, because the person who was kissing him was another Bai Yi...
For a while, the two of them were a little addicted to it, and no one noticed that the groom's body began to emit faint light spots.
The little bear was thrown to the ground, with beautiful spots of light in his eyes, and he was even more confused - he couldn't figure out why the bridegroom who wanted to kill Cheng Zhichu just now suddenly started kissing him...
Cheng Zhichu was dizzy from being kissed, but suddenly he felt a heavy weight on his body. It was the man's body that suddenly fell on top of him, and he was silent and motionless.
The surrounding human figures made of skeletons and corpses stirred up, surrounding the two of them in an airtight manner, and they stretched out their hands, obviously with bad intentions.
Seeing this, the little bear jumped up from the ground, roared a few times at them, bit one of them, and started to eat. The other skeletons and humanoids scattered as birds and beasts. fell to the ground.
[The groom has been successfully included in the illustrated book. 】
[The boss illustration has been collected, congratulations on passing the dungeon "Bride of the Specter". 】
[Clearance reward: experience value × 20,000, survival point × 20,000. 】
[Congratulations to the player for upgrading to level 55. 】
[All main quests have been completed, you can complete this dungeon after walking out of Xinhua Street. 】
The groom has been included in the illustrated book
In his arms is...
Holding the man's body in his arms, Cheng Zhichu blinked his eyes sluggishly for a few seconds, and suddenly a sense of ecstasy rose from the bottom of his heart. In an instant, his eye circles turned red, and he almost cried with excitement.
It turned out that this was the "other method" that the system said. The illustrated book only took away the existence of the groom, but kept Bai Yi's body. He found Bai Yi's body!
[Hmph, be happy, be happy? Why don't you thank me soon? 】The system's voice sounds very squeamish.
"Thank you, thank you very much, I… thank you… "
Cheng Zhichu held Bai Yi's body, and even forgot to talk to the system in his consciousness, and said it directly, his voice was almost choked, and even the words of thanks became incoherent.
[… cough. 】
He didn't seem to think that he would really thank him, but the system was not used to it. He coughed dryly, and his tone became calm, as if to comfort him, and said: [Now you can open the rewards of side quests, I believe you will definitely like. 】
[Do you want to enable rewards? 】
"… "
Cheng Zhichu suddenly became extremely nervous, with red eyes and trembling all over, because his intuition told him that this was probably a reward related to Bai Yi.
"… Yes."
[The reward has been issued. 】
Cheng Zhichu held his breath involuntarily, feeling that the time around him seemed to have stopped in an instant.
It seemed to be just a moment, and it seemed to be an extremely long time. He suddenly felt that the body in his arms seemed to move slightly, his heart trembled violently, and he lowered his head, but it happened to meet a pair of slow The dark pupils slowly opened.
"… Knowing the beginning?"
The handsome man lying in his arms had a rare look of confusion on the ground, his lips slightly parted, and he called out his name softly.

Bai Yi's Diary Part 77
(Just resurrected, unknown status, at a loss, no diary.)
