[One of us, go and return.]
The last bloody words that appeared on the stone wall made Qi Leren stunned.
What is going back and forth? Does it mean that the dead witch is resurrected again? No, one of them, went back and forth... Do you mean back here? Could it be that there was a surviving witch candidate in the witch sacrifice mission three years ago, who came here again three years later and mingled with them
Is she a player, or an NPC? Why would she do this
The creepy feeling slowly climbed to the soles of Qi Leren's feet from the darkness in all directions, and then slowly climbed up his body along the nerves, stirring up his imagination, making the already strange situation even more confusing.
If someone survived the last time and came to this underground palace again, who would it be? He, Ning Zhou, Lu Youxin and Isabel are the only people alive now. The life and death of sisters Elisa is unknown. Which one is the most likely
No, it is impossible to make effective inferences at all. From another perspective, if that person receives this task again, she will definitely be very familiar with the task process and terrain. If you are familiar with the terrain...
Between the lightning and flint, Qi Leren suddenly recalled the situation in the Swamp Tower. At that time, Lu Youxin asked Ye Xia if she needed to record a map of the underground palace for her. Ye Xia told the truth under Lu Youxin's skills— She refused.
At that time, both he and Lu Youxin thought it was because Ye Xia didn't trust them, but now that I think about it, could it be because she is very familiar with the terrain of the underground palace, so she doesn't need this quarter of the map at all
But Ye Xia is already dead. He has seen and touched her body with his own eyes, and Xie Wanwan who killed her is also dead...
Is the body fake? The thought flashed by, and Qi Leren himself thought it was funny, this is not a detective novel, and he could even steal the corpses for suspended animation, but he had seen the corpses of the two with his own eyes.
Isabelle let out a low moan, struggling as if she was being stunned. She looked very painful. Qi Leren checked her condition, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed. Could this person who has gone and returned is Isabelle? She also said that she lost a memory, maybe in this lost memory, she followed her sister to the underground palace, for some reason she escaped but lost this memory, and then three years later, she came again got here.
Could it be what he thought
By the way, there is also the altar.
"Now that the seven witches are all dead, according to the clues given on the stone wall, the altar should appear, right?" Qi Leren said to Ning Zhou in confusion, "But now it seems that the altar is not here, do we still need it? On what conditions?"
Ning Zhou shook his head silently, saying that he didn't know either.
"She seems to be waking up." Qi Leren saw that Isabel's eyelids trembled a few times, and immediately knelt down beside her.
Isabelle murmured, as if calling for her sister, and finally woke up from her coma. After waking up, she lay blankly on the ground, looking at the dark dome, as if she had lost her soul.
"Isabel?" Qi Leren called her.
Isabelle jumped up from the ground as if enchanted, grabbed Qi Leren's arm and screamed: "It's her! It's her back! It's not wrong, it must be her!"
"Calm down and talk slowly, who is it?" Qi Leren pressed her shoulders and asked solemnly.
Isabel, who had calmed down from her excitement, stared at him blankly, her eyes were out of focus, she squirmed her lips and said softly: "... the woman with the knife."
"Ye Xia? Have you met her?" Qi Leren asked again.
Isabelle's body was shaking and her voice was shaking: "Yes, three years ago, she and my sister were in the same carriage..."
Isabel, who was still in the chaos, said intermittently what she recalled. From her messy and upside-down statement, the memory she lost three years ago slowly appeared in front of several people.
After her sister was selected as a witch candidate, she was taken away. Isabel secretly inquired about the place where her sister was locked up. When the day of sacrifice came, she quietly followed the carriage to the forest and saw the witch candidate who was driven out of the carriage. People, the one person in the car with her sister is Ye Xia.
They were driven into the jungle by domesticated dogs, and Isabel, worried about her sister, ventured into the forbidden forest after everyone left. It was getting dark at that time, and in the deep twilight, she frantically looked for her sister and wanted to take her out of the forest, but she quickly got lost here.
Then, she met a woman.
It was a woman who she still didn't know what words to use to describe her beauty. In the sunset, she stood quietly under a huge withered tree, with a bloody corpse prostrate at her feet, she looked at her , that look could not be said to be indifferent or gentle, but just being looked at by her like this made her forget everything, even a corpse lying beside her feet.
"You're not the chosen one, why are you here?" the woman asked her, her voice as graceful and graceful as a singing lark bathed in the morning light.
"I'm here to find my sister," Isabel replied.
Hearing her answer, the woman showed what seemed to be a smile, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth turned her from a perfect sculpture into a vivid person, she said briskly, "It's not the time for you to come. , come back in three years."
Hearing her words, Isabel seemed to be possessed, and could not help but agree. As her consciousness began to blur, she struggled to ask the last question: "Who are you?"
The woman still smiled at her calmly, but gave a shocking answer: "I am the one you will serve."
After she finished speaking, she lightly tapped her finger on her lips, with a mysterious and charming smile: "Brave little girl, you have to keep this secret for me."
The memory came to an abrupt end here, and then Isabel woke up in her bed and lost that memory until she saw Xie Wanwan's bloody corpse in the underground palace, and finally remembered the scene in the jungle three years ago.
Qi Leren was so shocked that he was speechless. After a long while, he murmured, "Could it be that the person you met is the Devil King of Fraud?"
Isabelle covered her face, trembling and said, "I don't know... I don't know who she is."
Qi Leren glanced at Ning Zhou, she frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking.
"If the Demon King of Deception really came to the sacrifice three years ago, it would explain why the witch died so tragically last time." Qi Leren recalled the bloody reminders on the stone wall and the one he had met. Several witches have vaguely connected things together in their minds.
For some purpose, three years ago, the deceit demon disguised as an ordinary person joined the mission. She was happy to see human strife, deceit, and despair. She played with the group of poor witches and instigated them to kill each other. He still remembers Isabel's My sister was killed by being kept alive in an iron coffin and watered with molten iron. She said, "I didn't hurt her... She deceived you." This "she" probably refers to the Demon King of Deception. There is also the erotic witch who created the illusion. She twisted in the unrequited love and continued to mutilate other witches. I am afraid it is just a game to deceive the devil.
But what happened to Ye Xia? She also participated in the sacrifice for three years, and then survived? One, she may be the ultimate victor of the last sacrifice, and the other who completed the sacrifice, she just survived. But no matter what, she survived, returned here three years later, and died at the hands of Xie Wanwan.
This is so bizarre and unreasonable at all. A person who survived a mission controlled by the Demon King of Deception would simply die in this mission for no reason!
Qi Leren thought more and more, and looked forward with empty eyes, Ning Zhou stood there, quietly looking at the text on the stone wall, just a back view easily attracted his attention.
Qi Leren suddenly remembered the situation where he was talking to "Ye Xia" in the fantasy world. At that time, "Ye Xia" said to him...
—Whether it is the true self being loved or the false self being loved, as long as it is loved, it is all happiness. Sometimes love just can't help it, can't help it, even if you know it's impossible, you won't give up easily.
Is that "Ye Xia" herself? Who was the impossible love she talked about dedicated to
In the silence, a familiar voice came.
"Oh, I finally found you."
The Qi Le people almost jumped from the ground, the direction of the sound was the gate of the hall, and a translucent phantom stood there, like a wandering soul everywhere in the underground palace.
Lu Youxin's phantom stood there with arms folded, looked at them calmly, and said mechanically, "Congratulations on winning the lucky prize, I am a kind person who has come to do one good deed for the last time. Tell you three important things. It's up to you to see if you can survive and leave here."
"Lu Youxin?" Qi Leren's voice was lost, no matter how he looked at it, the person in front of him didn't look like a living person, but a spiritual body.
Lu Youxin seemed unable to hear his voice, looked contemptuous, and continued in a dull voice: "First, I'm already dead. Second, the person who killed me seems to be Xie Wanwan. Third, she will transfer her soul, she will steal Take my body. To sum up, the murderer is Ye Xia."
