After sleeping until evening, Sur woke up because of thirst, opened his eyes and found Ji Heng lying on the other side of the bed. Because the posture is too regular, it is difficult to distinguish whether he is sleeping or closing his eyes to rest.
After hesitating for a while, he didn't open his mouth to wake the other party up, and went to look for water to drink with his bare feet.
Seeing that the rain outside the window did not slow down in the slightest, but instead became more intense, Sur was worried that the weather would be bad the next day. When the full moon is obscured by dark clouds, lighting a shofar candle to summon demons may be variable.
"save-"
There seemed to be human voices in the distance, and Sur walked quickly to the window, carefully pricked up his ears and listened. His eyes were drawn from time to time by the eagle squatting on the tree outside. At this moment, it was staring at Sur motionless, and the sharp eyes that were born did not show friendliness at all.
"Help!"
The cry for help became clear.
The man who ran over was extremely embarrassed, and his slightly longer-than-normal hair fell on his forehead, covering half of his cheek. The whole process did not look at the road at all, just rushed forward desperately.
Chen Buzhi
Sur raised his eyebrows and stood to the right to expand his view. After half a minute, it was almost certain that there was no one behind Chen Buqi, and no ghost was chasing him at all.
Chen Buqi seemed to sense something, raised his head suddenly, looked over with his eyes that were too black and white, and saw that the panic in Sur's eyes dissipated. A few sprints came to the floor-to-ceiling window, stretched out his hand and slapped it, and shouted hoarsely to save him.
Sur looked at him for a while, then pointed in the direction of the door, Chen Buqi understood and hurried to the gate.
"Thank you... thank you."
Sur found that he didn't immediately lock the door when he entered: "Is someone chasing you?"
Chen Buqi shook his head, panting with a pale face, "A ghost is going to fuck me."
"… "
Frightened and cold, Chen Buqi hiccupped several times in a row, and then began to talk about what happened to him. It turned out that he was alone in the bamboo building to check, but his body reacted inexplicably, and he felt wrong and left quickly. Unexpectedly, not long ago, he was resting on the sofa, and Zhu Mei appeared in the room for some reason and was riding on him.
"I couldn't control my desire, and I used my last reason to punch my lower body before I had a physical relationship, and then I ran out."
Sur couldn't help but feel sympathy after hearing this.
Chen Buqi wanted to say a few more words, but caught sight of the skin tissue on the statue and swallowed: "That thing... it seems to be moving."
Sur's expression remained the same: "You read it wrong."
Chen Buqi was quite sure that he was not mistaken, but when he heard the denial from the other party under the eaves, he could only smile and say, "It's my eyesight."
Then he quickly pulled the topic back: "Zhu Mei is always a ghost. I have a hunch that once I have a relationship with her, I will definitely die."
"It's not a ghost, it's a devil."
A low voice interrupted the conversation, Chen Buqi raised his head, there was one more person at the entrance of the stairs, and half of his body was in the shadows, like a silent ghost.
His heart jumped suddenly, and he suddenly felt that the small building he was in was even more terrifying than the outside.
"Devil?" Sur was not surprised by Ji Heng's appearance, and lowered his head into deep thought.
Ji Heng slowly walked down the stairs: "The hostess has been abused all the year round and resentful. I don't know how to summon the devil. She claimed to be the servant of the devil before, and Zhu Mei should be the devil she summoned."
Sur was stunned: "No wonder the reward is a candle. The Book of Reincarnation is more like some kind of companion creature. Every time a demon is summoned, a new Book of Reincarnation will appear."
"What candle?" Chen Buqi was at a loss.
"A tool for summoning the devil," Sur said with a slight smile on his lips: "Of course, you can also use this news in exchange for Ye Xiaocen's protection."
It was a very soft voice, but Chen Buqi couldn't help shivering.
"Absolutely not!" he assured, raising his hands.
Ji Heng sat down and said, "To tell you the truth, those who get the Book of Reincarnation can get additional benefits, peeping into the past or seeing a certain segment of the future."
future
Chen Buqi's eyelashes trembled, his eyes flickered, but he said, "I just want to make a copy alive."
Ignoring his little calculus, Ji Heng continued: "Ye Xiaocen has probably guessed a few things. Once he knows everything, he will definitely come to compete for the candle."
Hearing the hint in the clear words, Chen Buqi said quickly, "I'll try to mislead them."
Ji Heng took the skinny ghost from the statue, and said something in a low voice, the skinny ghost crawled over.
Chen Buqi shook his body, his conditioned reflex was about to run.
"do not move."
The voice was not loud, but it was very intimidating. Seeing the cold light in the other's eyes, Chen Buqi was stunned for a moment. In just a short while of being stunned, the Painted Skin Ghost had already got into his pocket.
Ji Heng said lightly: "If you want to live, don't play tricks."
Chen Buqi's face was ugly, and he said stubbornly: "Players can't kill each other."
After he finished speaking, a smooth and greasy touch came from his arm. Chen Buqi was horrified to find that his hands were covered with a whole layer of skin, which looked like funny duck webs.
Consciousness is still there, but the body has lost the initiative.
The Painted Skin Ghost couldn't control his cruel nature and wanted to take the opportunity to use Chen Buqi as his ration. Ji Heng squeezed his eyeballs a little bit, and he settled down immediately and turned into a piece of leather again into his pocket. Chen Buqi first moved his fingers, making sure he could control his body freely, and then collapsed to the ground in the next second.
After a long time, he regained his strength, put away his previous careful thoughts and smiled bitterly: "With such a method, why not use it directly on Ye Xiaocen?"
Ji Heng: "Ye Xiao Cen's spiritual value is not low, it is possible to detect danger first."
"I see."
I was afraid that Chen Buqi was not in the mood to ask them how they made a deal with the ghost.
Ji Heng: "You live here tonight, and Ye Xiaocen will definitely come to you tomorrow."
Chen Buqi said with interest: "Then I'll sleep in the living room." After a moment of worry, he asked, "What if Zhu Mei comes in again?"
"Not anymore."
Ji Heng said it very firmly.
Chen Buqi breathed a sigh of relief and regretted it.
If he knew that the special service was just a tattoo, he wouldn't turn Zhu Mei away in the morning.
Ignoring his thoughts, Ji Heng looked at Sur: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Sur sighed, went upstairs and lay back on the bed but didn't get much sleep. After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally fell asleep in the second half of the night.
The next day was sunny.
Many of the stone bricks on the ground have been broken, and the depressions are piled with water. The road is not easy to walk, and if you are not careful, you will get a foot in the mud.
Zhu Mei did not come to sell the tattoo business today, Chen Buqi regretted it.
On the way to the restaurant, as Ji Heng expected, Ye Xiaocen came over and said that he wanted to chat. His purpose was not concealed, and he directly mentioned the props. Chen Buqi glanced at Ji Heng before saying anything, and finally chose to follow Ye Xiaocen.
Zhou Que, who was waiting there, showed a smug smile upon seeing this.
Intentionally slowed down, and after these people turned and left, Sur began to return to his normal pace. Occasionally twisting his neck to move his cervical spine, he glanced at the eagle on the tree and froze: "Do you think... it wants to peck me?"
Before the words were finished, the eagle had already rushed down, and the speed was extremely fast. The distance between the two sides was only a few meters, and Sur hurriedly bent over to avoid it.
A gust of wind swept overhead.
The eagle didn't attack, just circled around his head, chirped like a warning, and dropped a lump of feces.
At the critical moment, Ji Heng pulled Su Er and saved his hair.
Sur was expressionless: "I don't think it has anything to do with luck."
The eagle is simply not pleasing to the eye.
Ji Heng: "The sheep's horn candle is on you, it is contaminated with the breath of the devil, and the eagle is responsible for suppressing the devil."
Sur sighed and wanted to understand something: "On that day, when Zhu Mei appeared, these birds of prey all folded their wings and posed in a pose. I thought it was respectful, but it should actually be a supervisor."
For the demon that has been released, the eagle has no choice but to keep an eye on it and make a little deterrent. This can't help but make him a little more worried. After midnight tonight, if he wants to light a candle to summon the devil, he is afraid that he will be blocked a lot.
As soon as there was a delay on the way, they arrived at the restaurant at the latest.
Ye Xiaocen and the others sat at a table, while Zhu Mei was still guarding the table in the central area, eating Xue Meiniang. The moment he saw Sur, a pair of beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent.
Sur shook his head and whispered, "She thought I was Britney at this time yesterday."
Overnight, things changed.
Ji Heng gave him a funny look: "I knew it was a ghost, but I didn't rush to find you to do my best."
The chef at the No. 2 window came back, the head that Ji Heng had cut off before was stitched up again, and there was a black thread like a centipede around his neck. Seeing these two people, he was angry and angry, grabbed the seasoning and smashed it on the roasted whole lamb.
The roasted whole sheep was smaller than yesterday, and Sur could tell that the other party was actually roasting Lin Lele's body without the help of mysterious eyes.
A sheep needs to be stabbed at least three times. Adhering to this principle of being a man, he went to the third window again.
The female chef was making Xue Mei Niang, stopped stirring the fat in the face of the uninvited guests, walked aside and directly scooped up a plate of fruit.
Sur was surprised when the plate was handed out.
The female chef's eyes locked on his pocket, and she said faintly, "I am on you and smell the devil's breath."
Sur didn't say much, just picked a spot with a plate and sat down.
Today, the female chef only gave one serving of fruit scoop. Because the portion was sufficient, the two of them didn't bother and ate a plate of food separately. With the last bite of mango in their stomachs, Su Er and Ji Heng went back the same way.
Ye Xiaocen: "Are you sure they're going to the bamboo building tonight?"
Chen Buqi nodded.
Ye Xiaocen suddenly put down his chopsticks and stared at him without saying anything.
If it were before yesterday, Chen Buqi might have been stunned by this momentum, but after experiencing the skin ghost, he asked himself that there was nothing more torturous than that, and his face immediately turned cold: "Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Ye Xiaocen's tone was a little slower: "Just ask casually, don't take it to heart."
After breakfast, Su Er and Ji Heng never went out again, waiting patiently for the night to come. There were more and more eagles gathered outside the window, all staring at them, eager to rush over and swallow them alive. He rolled up his sleeves and found that the tattoo had almost dissipated. He couldn't help but ask, "What will the first thing do when the devil is summoned?"
"If there is no inversion, it should be killing the person who summoned it."
Speaking of which, Ji Heng seemed to think of something interesting: "The type of demon may be related to the nature of the individual."
Sur: "Individual nature?"
Ji Heng nodded and said, "It has nothing to do with character, just like the original hostess of the villa, what do you think she looks like?"
"It's pretty."
As far as the matter is concerned, the hostess's bones are the most demonic that Sur has ever seen.
Ji Heng: "Chen Buqi was almost raped by Zhu Mei, so she belongs to the lust type of demon." His eyes turned around Su Er: "If you can infer the type of demon that will be summoned, you can make some preparations in advance."
His eyes turned around twice, and finally turned into a sigh.
"… "What does it mean
Ji Heng shook his head: "It's hard to imagine what the devil you summoned would be like."
On the matter of summoning candidates, the two parties reached an agreement without discussion. There are too many mysteries in Sur, and the Book of Reincarnation is even more needed.
Ji Heng suddenly whispered two words.
Sur was surprised: "As soon as the devil came out, he smashed the statue as a hidden weapon?"
Ji Heng made a silent motion, as if worried that the partition wall had ears: "Be quiet."
"… it is good."
The next time was even more torturous. As evening approached, Ji Heng made some arrangements, locked the door, and pasted a number of talismans on the windows. The place to light the candle was selected on the first floor. For some reason, Sur felt that his purpose in doing this was to make it easier to throw the statue out at the critical moment.
On the 15th of the lunar calendar, the moon is extraordinarily round at night, and Sur realized that worrying that the moon would be covered by dark clouds last night was unfounded.
Matches can be found in any drawer upstairs and downstairs, as if they were made just for them. As zero o'clock approached, he set the candle on the table, struck the match ahead of time, and kept an eye on the watch on the wall to avoid missing the time.
Seconds past the last square, the match near the wick.
Seeing that the candle was about to be lit, the eagle's cry was particularly harsh, and madly rushed over to hit the window. Fortunately, Ji Heng prepared early, and the talisman played a role of restraint to a certain extent.
The wax oil dripping from the candle was black, and the smell of corpse penetrated into the nasal cavity, causing Sur to doubt the material of this thing. He wanted to withdraw his hand several times in the middle, but the candle had a tendency to go out when it left the fire. When his fingers were about to be burned by the flames, he struck another match at the fastest speed.
The window vibrated violently under the impact, and the talisman itself was more aimed at ghosts, and the effect of using it on an eagle was average. Sur glanced at him from time to time, and he was inevitably a little impatient, but his hand was very steady, and the match and the candle wick were always in close contact.
One minute seemed to be infinitely long, and when the match was changed for the seventh time, the movement outside suddenly decreased. The eagle hovered in mid-air angrily, and after a while, he took the initiative to distance himself from the house. The black wax oil that had flowed out before continued to flow and merged into a perfect circle, with some incomprehensible mysterious symbols in the middle.
Sur took a deep breath, knowing that the demon was about to appear.
The first thing that emerged from the formation was the head. The demon had long dazzling golden hair, and the face was too delicate to distinguish between men and women. Gradually, all his upper body emerged, his left hand held high, holding a simple book.
"Take advantage of it now!" Ji Heng said suddenly.
Su Er held his breath for a long time, and used the fastest speed in his life to grab the book held by the demon's left hand. On the other hand, Ji Heng lifted the statue and smashed it hard at the top of the demon's head.
Demon showing only half of his body: "???"
statue:"???"
Ji Heng reminded: "Hurry up and turn the book."
While speaking, he smeared his face with 'coal face to meet people'.
Sur also quickly used the crying child, and the mournful sobbing sounded, the demon's eyes suddenly became pity, and the killing intent was extinguished a lot. The crisis was temporarily relieved, and he began to lower his head to study the book. He originally wanted to invite Ji Heng to read it together, but as long as the second person's eyes were focused on it, the handwriting of the book of reincarnation would disappear automatically.
Sur had to go to the side and read it alone, and found a line of exaggerated small characters printed on the book cover: "The Book of Reincarnation", the companion volume of "The Book of Answers", shocked the market!
"..." No wonder the hard texture is so familiar.
The first page has only one title: "The Past".
With a flick of the finger, the page automatically paused, and there were a few more words on it: Book Turner—Zhou Wuxia.
"Zhou Wuxia?"
Guessing that this was probably his name before he entered the game, and Sur didn't care too much, and turned back directly.
At first, he still had a calm expression on his face, but when he saw the back, his eyes darkened slightly until his thin lips were almost pursed into a straight line. At this moment, someone suddenly heard the sound of someone slamming on the door. It seemed that Ye Xiaocen found out that he had been deceived and wanted to break in. The noisy sound came one after another, but Su Er seemed to be in another world. It is quickly filtered automatically.
There are not many words on each page, and after reading ten lines at a glance, he closed the book with a snap.
After a moment of silence, Sur looked up at Ji Heng: "The reason I was recruited at first was because a team member died in the grave."
After a pause, he asked, "Do you remember what that player looked like?"
Ji Heng nodded, his teammates who had been with him for so long naturally remembered. However, knowing that the other party could not ask questions without any reason, he thought about it carefully. After a while, the complexion changed slightly... The face that I thought was very familiar had actually become incomparably blurred.
"In your memory, he died in deception, but in fact he didn't..." Guessing the result, Sur said word by word: "He succeeded, successfully passed the death round, collected all achievement points, and then left game."
Zhu Yun predicted a total of three people's futures, one for her, one for herself, and the last one that Sur asked her to predict at a certain price... about Ji Heng's future.
In that future, Ji Heng chose to stay in a world that was mortal.
"I want to change the ending of a certain story," Sur lowered his eyes: "So... I'm back."
The last sentence seemed to be an explanation, but also a simple statement. In the end, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth in relief: "Fortunately, the future can really be changed."
Even if you have to go through life and death all over again, as long as you can stand and talk face to face like now, everything is worth it.
