Recalling the dashingness of the host when he left the Tianyigua haunted house this morning, the anger now presents a completely opposite extreme. At that time, the god operator probably thought that as long as the child appeared in front of him, all the problems could be solved.
But what he didn't expect was that all the senior high school students had a firm belief: My fate is my destiny.
The invigilator helping the uneducated students to cheat is the root cause of the tragedy.
After thinking about this, Sur did not attribute all the responsibility to himself, and felt much better psychologically. He didn't give up his struggle easily. He went to the kitchen to have people cook several eggs, and brought them to the children again, trying to start a new round of love education.
After saying 'Father Sur' didn't get the egg for the second time, the child started to clapp his palms angrily, and the palms turned red and didn't stop.
"Forget it." Ji Heng said lightly behind him.
Sur was also worried that if he continued to force it, it would be counterproductive and blackened in advance, so he gave the egg to the child and got up to stay away from the sad place.
The child didn't know the severity of the attack, and the scales of the flower snake were rubbed off. At this moment, the grievance Baba followed behind Sur, and the terrifying face that was about to be formed was collapsed.
It wilted and asked for blood, which saved Sur one thing.
The fresh air blows away some depression.
The scenery in the mansion is not about harmony, but luxury. Every few steps, you can encounter a miracle created by heavy industry. For example, a particularly small waterfall was built in the backyard. The water droplets splashed out, just on the flower snake, and the mottled snake skin shook, which seemed to be quite enjoyable.
Sur temporarily put the child's affairs behind him: "Where are you going now?"
"Look for Wei Jun." Ji Heng stopped: "According to the order of the gods, Wei Jun may drown after midnight tonight."
After Wei Jun, there was Cao Ledao.
And just relying on the flower snake can never stop the number of deaths.
Knocked on the door for a long time and got no response. Pushing the door in, the room was empty. When I asked the servants again, they all said that they didn't see Wei Jun going out.
Sur: "Missing?"
Ji Heng: "Not necessarily."
It is less than an hour before the players are separated, and Wei Jun may also have other plans to be busy with other things.
The two sat in the room for a while and waited, during which Sur had a whim: "If the number of fate is absolute, will it not die no matter what dangerous things you do before the predetermined fate comes?"
Of course, he also knows that this kind of thinking is unrealistic. In the Tianyi Gua, if Li Li is slow, he may be bitten to death by a snake.
Ji Heng shook his head: "The prophecy given by the god operator refers to the death catastrophe, which means that the difficulties encountered before this will have a chance of survival."
As for whether you can grasp it or not, it depends on the individual.
Sur's eyes moved: "So the time of death is not absolute?"
Ji Heng nodded: "It's like the white fox mixed with the players on the first night. It's normal for the entire army to be wiped out or a few people to break up."
It's just that there is still a turning point for them, and Li Tian, who has been criticized as 'severe winds and rains, and no place to be buried', is the end of death.
"No wonder..." Sur murmured in a low voice, he was originally curious why everyone didn't try to make an entry point from the time of death.
Ji Heng suddenly smiled and said, "Time is the biggest scam in the game."
Sur hummed suspiciously.
Ji Heng stood up and walked to the window: "In the dungeon we went to before, the host said that the voting time was on the sixth day, and the players' subconscious thinking was limited to the predicament that they had to survive six days."
Even veterans such as Trillion and Shen Jiangbei didn't react.
Su Er could feel that Ji Heng was subtly instilling theory into himself, but unfortunately, it was like solving a problem. Just knowing the formula without actual operation, it would be difficult to react to it for a while.
Ji Heng saw what he was thinking: "You have only placed the fourth instance, take your time."
Sur began to daydream: "Maybe one day I can collect all 24 achievement points in one dungeon and leave the game directly?"
Ji Heng sneered: "Unless all the hosts ascend to heaven."
"… "
The messy footsteps interrupted the conversation between the two parties. Wei Jun staggered into the door. After seeing them with some dazed eyes, he condensed slightly: "Come to me?"
Ji Heng pulled the towel off the shelf and threw it: "What if?"
Wei Jun wiped the water off his clothes and sighed.
Sur asked someone to bring in a pot of hot tea, and waited for him to slow down before asking what happened.
The bronze mirror showed the flower snake behind him, Wei Jun's expression changed slightly: "I passed by the pond, and I vaguely saw an extra shadow inside."
Sur: "Then you leaned over to have a look?"
Wei Jun: "Of course, run as far as you want."
"… "
Wei Jun: "I quickly ran in the opposite direction. Who knew this snake stumbled on me. Unfortunately, it just hit my knee and was dragged by the snake to the pond."
Where is the disaster, it is clearly fatal.
"That's normal." Ji Heng did not comfort him much.
Wei Jun raised his eyebrows and listened to him: "Do you think a snake can really guarantee everyone's life to the end?"
After a few seconds of silence, Wei Jun thought more in his eyes: "That's true."
Suer kept staring at the flower snake, and couldn't help but say a few steps away: "Look, does this person have a similar face to you?"
A normal person would be subconsciously afraid of a strange snake. Wei Jun usually didn't look at it much. After hearing what he said, he began to observe carefully. The outline of the snake face that is about to form a human face is indeed developing in a familiar direction, especially the small black dot above the left eye socket, which is exactly the same as the position of his mole.
Young people are most imaginative, and Sur boldly imagined: "If you feed it flesh and blood every day, will the snake's strength accumulate enough and devour people to live instead of us. Just like that, are we still alive?"
"It depends on how you define life and death." Wei Jun said solemnly: "Maybe you can still retain a part of consciousness, so it is still alive."
Right now everything is just speculation, Ji Heng said to Sur, "You go back first, I'll stay tonight."
It seems that he is preparing to face the crisis of the night with Wei Jun.
The force value is pitifully low, and the charm value can only be used as a support for the time being. Ji Heng still has the heart to rescue him when he is in danger. After re-evaluating his own value, Sur gave up and returned to the room obediently.
The period of time before the night came, was extraordinarily long because there was nothing to do. Sur lay on the bed for a while, not daring to sleep too hard, worrying about the presence of a flower snake, he would wake up every few minutes.
A gust of wind blew open the window, and the wind that blew in had a salty smell of silt. When he smelled it again, there was a faint smell of smoke in the middle. Sur frowned, wondering what he was thinking.
·
This salty smell is not only in Sur here, but also pervades Wei Jun's room, even far more than other places.
The flower snake following him enjoyed it very much, so he climbed to the window and stretched out to feel it carefully.
The moon tonight is exceptionally bright, pouring in and slowly flowing on the ground.
Wait, flow
Wei Jun's pupils shrank, and he watched the cold moonlight wrap around layer by layer, and the accumulation became thicker and thicker. It was as if he was in a sink, and someone was holding a pipe to pour water into it.
Wei Jun took out a talisman and stuck it on the ground, and when he let go, the talisman paper suddenly floated over his knees, and below the knees, all the condensed moonlight.
Finding it useless, he sighed regretfully and looked at Ji Heng who was standing by the window.
The window was half-open, and Ji Heng stretched out his hand and was blocked by an invisible object. On the contrary, the snake came in and out without any hindrance. He turned around and tried the white fox again. Amid Su Mei's scolding, he tried to throw the white fox out of the window, but it also failed.
There seems to be a layer of transparent film condensed in the air, forming a barrier to prevent entry and exit.
This time, even the white fox began to be anxious, scratching his paws.
While Wei Jun was looking for a way to get out, he joked with bitterness: "You don't want to die in the hands of a ghost, but you want to drown in the moonlight?"
Sounds pretty romantic.
"Who said there were no ghosts?"
Ji Heng stood in one position, punched the invisible barrier, and the moonlight accumulated under his feet swayed slightly.
Wei Jun faintly heard the hissing sound, Ji Heng's punch obviously hurt something, and the fishy smell in the air was even more intense. But in the blink of an eye, the real scene appeared in front of him.
In the faint light, there are all very small snake shadows, which are densely stacked together to form a thick barrier wall.
Su Mei screamed and jumped onto the table shivering.
"Don't bow your head."
Ji Heng reminded that it was too late, Wei Jun had already lowered his head and glanced... Transparent water snakes were moving under his feet, each with a human face, and his turbid vertical pupils stared at them. Wei Jun kicked a conditioned reflex, and several water snakes were easily kicked away. But as the moonlight settles a little bit, every step is difficult.
Wei Jun started directly, and the snake was easy to kill, but unfortunately one was killed, and as soon as the moonlight shone, several more would appear soon.
"Is there a way to get out?" Wei Jun tilted his head and asked.
Ji Heng nodded: "Yes, but there is a price to pay."
After all, he didn't have any intention to fight to the death. Wei Jun guessed that he was still thinking of another way to escape. Seeing that the water level was about to reach the waist, he couldn't help speaking:
“Ji…”
Ji Heng waved his hand to interrupt him, and made a silent motion, signaling him to look in the direction of the door.
The barrier there seems to be unstable and wobbly. Some intermittent sounds could barely be heard, probably coming from outside the door.
"It's Suer." Ji Heng walked over: "At the same time, if the three of them work together, they might be able to make an opening."
Sur was standing outside the door, and he couldn't see anything from his point of view. He tried to take a breath of yin and almost didn't die. Repeatedly measuring his hand, he reached into his pocket and used the electric shock through the cloth.
Finally, as if the welded door was loosely loosened, Su Er had no time to kick it open, and was thrown into the house by the flower snake behind him with its tail.
He bumped into a person's shoulder head on, and was supported by a pair of hands before he fell down. With a 'pop', the door behind him closed again.
Seeing that Suer had stood firm, Ji Heng let go: "Are you okay?"
Sur nodded, looked at Wei Jun with a sigh, and finally understood the feeling of being attacked by a snake in the daytime.
Wei Jun smiled bitterly and reminded: "Don't look around, you will be scared."
Even if Sur didn't look at it deliberately, the many snakes around him would take the initiative to catch his eye. In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is a snake. It is a complete human face, except that the eyes are vertical pupils.
Wei Jun frowned: "If we don't go out, I'm afraid we will also become one of the human-faced snakes."
The cruel reality was in front of him, but Sur was very calm. He squatted down calmly, and let the child on his back come down. It was because of the unsteady center of gravity that he carried the child on his back, so the flower snake who attacked easily succeeded.
While patronizing the introduction, Wei Jun didn't even have time to ask, "What are you bringing him for?"
Sur: "Let's rely on the Son of Heaven to command the princes."
"… "
Wei Jun didn't know the cause and effect, so Ji Heng said a few words.
Just now, I didn't feel surprised that I would be drowned by moonlight. If everything could be connected, Wei Jun definitely thought they were making up stories.
Sur stared at the happy child who was rubbing snakes with his hands: "Since this child may become the future ghost king, he shouldn't die here easily."
In other words, Shen Shuzi would not watch him die.
"My father Sur..." The child opened his mouth wide, but he bit off the tail of the snake in one bite, and only said the second half of the sentence after he finished eating: "Everyone... it's all garbage."
Sur touched his head.
Ji Heng raised his eyebrows: "Occasionally, I change a sheep scallop."
If you catch a lamb, no matter how fat you are, you will be bald sooner or later.
"I'm changing." Sur said seriously.
He had been using the Skeleton Ghost King before, but now he decided not to oppress Zhou Linjun any longer, and he would not do anything by himself.
Wei Jun couldn't help laughing and crying: "But if you can think of bringing him, it's really yours."
Picking up the child, Sur shook his head: "I didn't expect it at first, but just now this arrogant child ran to my door at night and set fire to it."
The child couldn't understand their conversation, smirked and wanted to jump down to catch the snake.
Sur smiled reassuringly, and hugged him to play with snakes in the direction of the door.
Just looking at the picture, the interaction between the two sides is very warm.
Staring at the backs of one big and one small, Wei Jun couldn't help sighing: "...It's really a kind and filial father."
The author has something to say:
Sur: Times have changed, and the tool man has to be changed frequently.
