My old enemy always likes to pull my furry ears

Chapter 20

Ah Song is really about to cry. In this tattered, treacherous and endless illusion, he has been holding on for a long time. He is a mortal with two arms and two legs. Standing still, he just wanted to escape, to leave quickly, but what happened in the illusion couldn't always go his way.

Ting You stood aside blankly, his eyes dull, as if he had been bewitched and cursed.

Standing beside him was a fairly robust man, his whole body was shaking violently, his mouth was gasping for breath, and his feet didn't move.

When the mist cleared earlier, Ah Song and Ting You walked well, but suddenly the mist blew up and dispersed the two of them, and when the mist cleared again, Ah Song was left alone on the broken ground, and he moved small steps with trepidation , I don't know how long I walked, I accidentally walked into another small street, and saw Ting You flirting with a man who was taller than him.

It is said that bad luck will come back when it reaches its extreme. The appearance of Yan Zhou and Xue Huan suddenly relieved Ah Song’s psychological burden. He ran to Xue Huan’s side like a child complaining, and said anxiously: “Mr. Xue, look at that person, He wants to hurt Tingyou, I haven't seen him before, he must be from another team."

The man's face was anxious and impatient, he struggled on the spot again, took a breath, found that he could speak, and said in a vicious voice: "I hurt him, I don't know who this person is, he is going to kill him as soon as he comes up I!"

Relying on the large number of people, Ah Song became bolder for a while, and said: "He killed you? He didn't know you, why did he kill you, and I saw you pulling Ting You's clothes, obviously you were plotting something wrong , you are still relying on others, shameless."

The man seemed to be wronged, his eyes widened, and his voice became thicker, "You just came, you know what the hell, this man can't speak clearly when he comes up, he is going to strangle me, look at me, I'm being fucked by him now!" The sorcery is fixed on the ground, unable to move."

After the man finished speaking, he leaned forward, wanting to prove that he really couldn't move a single step, he was misunderstood.

Ah Song was worried that he would lie to him, so he rushed over suddenly and shrank behind Xue Huan.

Yanzhou smelled a strange fragrance of flowers, which seemed to emanate from Tingyou's body. This smell suddenly reminded him of the moment when he entered the illusion, he also smelled the same fragrance of flowers, maybe it was the time when the human skeleton It distracted his attention, so he didn't take this fragrance to heart.

The strong floral aroma overwhelms the original taste.

No wonder I thought that person was indifferent at the beginning, and didn't feel afraid when encountering scary things that mortals don't often see.

"You can easily lie to that silly boy, but under the current situation, if you continue to lie, there is no need." Yan Zhou said unhurriedly.

The fog in Ting You's eyes dissipated when Ah Song shouted, and he felt depressed, Fang Zai was too lazy to speak when Ah Song was arguing with the man.

When a man sees someone distinguishing right from wrong, no matter if he is in the same group or not, he wins over first and then says: "That's right, brother, did you see that? I said earlier that it wasn't I who wanted to kill him, but he who wanted to kill me..."

"Shut up." Ting You's voice curled up like a soft wind, and he spit out two words coldly. Although there was no deterrent effect, the man quickly shut up and said no more.

"Let me ask you, have you ever seen a man named Qin Yu, he is a herbal medicine seller, dressed as a scholar." Ting You said softly.

The man has never heard of this name, and he may have seen it among those people before, but I'm sorry, how can I tell him that I know him.

"Have you said it, you'd better undo the magic on me, I can go out right away, don't spoil my good deeds."

Ting You closed his eyes, turned around, faced him, and said, "Get out? You can't get out." After speaking, he suddenly raised a burst of spiritual power, which swayed red like a cold veil in the air, and hit the man's forehead.

Xue Huan's mind moved, and he stepped forward, but Yan Zhou stopped him.

The man screamed shortly, the crack opened from his forehead, and then the whole person was broken into pieces in front of everyone, and disappeared in place. At the same time, three different souls floated out from the broken body of the man.

It was the first time in Ah Song's life that he saw a human soul floating out like this, his eyes opened round, tears welled up in his eyes, he took out his own card from his belt, the words on it disappeared before his eyes, he trembled The voice said: "Are these souls? They are all used by that man to make up for himself."

Xue Huan frowned when he heard that, and said, "What are you talking about, please speak clearly."

Ah Song lost his mind, showed the blank card to Xue Huan, and said intermittently: "We, after we separated, there were two words on my card, which said that if you want to go out, you must be in any of the sixteen directions. Azimuth... draw a blood talisman, and only by killing a person can you have a chance to draw a blood talisman, you can, you can go out."

"Do not."

The soul floating in the air said weakly: "It's not that simple."

Xue Huan: "What do you know?"

There is only a wisp of the soul, as if it will be scattered when the wind blows. "Killing people will get the chance to draw a blood talisman, but at the same time, they will lose one soul, because they have to pay homage to the dead soul. However, when drawing a blood talisman, they need to sacrifice another dead soul, which must be their own soul."

"The person who kills the talisman will lose two souls, but if he loses the soul, even if he goes out, he will become a fool, which is different from the original one, so he can only keep killing people and stealing souls inside, each time he kills and takes one, but You can only replenish one soul forever, because when you kill someone, you have to sacrifice one soul."

The soul who spoke was from the team of nine of them at the beginning, the one who killed "self".

This illusion itself is a huge sacrifice, nourished by the delusion of people who want to go out inside, and then strengthened by the blood sacrifice and the greed of constantly seizing souls and replenishing souls. If the evil spirit formed in it reaches a certain level, A man-made void hell will be formed outside the heaven and earth.

"Where will the dead go?" Yan Zhou asked.

These souls who were killed and trapped by the murderer can share what the man saw, heard and thought. They were killed by the man, and the souls that were taken away can only obey the deployment of the man, but it is a pity that they will never go back up.

"Every soul of everyone who dies here will be imprisoned here forever, and may become the nourishment of the blood talisman."

Ah Song's face turned pale, and he stammered, "So, that's what it means to let me kill people, that's what it means." His voice became weaker, and he said, "I don't want to, I don't want to..."

"It's all greed." The soul said: "Draw a blood talisman, throw a soul here, and you can leave safely. However, the power drawn from the blood talisman can obtain greater pleasure."

They become more and more manic, more and more bloodthirsty.

so cycle.

Yan Zhou asked: "What will happen when the blood talisman in the sixteen directions is finished, what number is it now?"

Soul shook his head, his eyes were empty. "It's all wishful thinking, and it's all at a price."

After saying this, the three souls floating in place turned into scattered crystals and disappeared in the dust.

Ting You's face was pale, and he covered his chest with one hand, and took a deep breath; he seemed to be in pain, his brows were twisted into clefts, and his lips were pale.

Ah Song called him, and he took a step back, turned his back to them, and said hoarsely, "I'll go first."

"Wait." Xue Huan said: "Since this young master knows that the man murdered and seized his soul, he must also know the secret of this illusion. If you can—"

"I don't know." Ting You said, his back was facing them, his shoulders were slightly hunched.

At this time, a person walked towards the fork in the small street, pulled his sleeve with one hand, and pulled it at the end of his eyes with the other. He probably saw a few people in front of him, and then he said, "Is anyone there?"

Ting You raised his head when he heard the sound, saw the man clearly, and couldn't help but cheer up a little: "Qin Yu."

But when Qin Yu heard someone call his name, he froze for a moment, twisted his fingers, turned around and ran away.

Ting You chased after him in a hurry, Ah Song was worried about danger, so he quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Wait a minute, in case you are in danger again..."

"No, let go."

Ting You's voice completely blinded Ah Song, he pulled out his hand, glanced at Yan Zhou and Xue Huan by the way, and then chased away.

Ah Song looked back in a daze: "Why is it a woman's voice, Tingyou is not a man, man... Did I hear it wrong?"

"Maybe he's a woman disguised as a man." Xue Huan said, but changed the topic: "But the voice he spoke before seemed to be male."

"Twin ghosts, it's twin ghosts." Ah Song suddenly yelled, causing Xue Huan's heart to jump in fright, and said speechlessly, "Don't be surprised."

Yanzhou caught him saying something he hadn't heard before, and asked, "Twin ghosts? What are twin ghosts?"

Ah Song carefully recalled in his mind the stories told by the elders in the village when they were having tea, pursed his lips, calmed down, and said, "Twin ghosts, I only heard from the elders in the village that it is said that a man and a woman live together. Ghosts, males and females, girls males, are evil ghosts that hunt and kill men and women who come and go in and out of brothels. There is a saying in Biantang to scare children, saying that the peony in Biantang is blooming, and the twins are dancing under the moon. Don't go out to play at night."

Twin ghosts are dragons and phoenixes who were stillborn before birth. They were wrapped in straw mats and thrown in the wilderness. They sucked the miasma at night. Over time, they grew up through self-cultivation and became ghosts. Cultivation, self-cultivation, and magic tricks.

"Then, did twin ghosts appear in Biantang?" Yan Zhou asked.

Ah Song hugged his arm and shook his head.

"I think he's pretty good, you don't have to be afraid of this." Yan Zhou paced back and forth a few times, returned to Xue Huan, and thought about it: "What you should be afraid of now is how to get out, after all, the only way to get out is Killing people and drawing blood symbols."

He raised the volume and called back Ah Song's wandering soul, "Where is the next symbol written on your card?"

Ah Song still shook his head when he asked this question, Xue Huan saw a string of gold characters floating behind him, and said, "Look quickly."

The golden characters read: more than ten people. No.11 students will open.

"What, what does this mean?"

Xue Huan stared at these words, trying to figure out what they meant, and asked Yan Zhou for help, "Nine of us came in, and there is another team here, which means there are at least eight more people, if Tingyou is counted." , as far as we know, there are four people, so there are six people left."

"But what does eleven goalkeepers mean?"

Yan Zhouyu pointed out, "Maybe No. 12 blood symbols have been drawn."

Yanzhou went on to say: "Before that soul said that blood symbols should be drawn in all sixteen directions, that is to say, in this illusion, there are sixteen places where blood symbols can be drawn, and to be able to draw blood symbols, one must kill someone to get the chance. , if ten blood talismans have been drawn now, so at least ten people have died, then if we calculate it this way, nine of us came in, five disappeared, and the remaining seven are from other teams."

Ah Song said: "Is it the team that came in before us?"

Yan Zhou smiled leisurely and said, "Of course not, the numbers don't match."

"What do you mean?" Xue Huan asked.

"If the seven people who died belonged to another team, seven people must kill them before drawing the blood talisman; and, even if there are five of us among the seven people, it is as early as Before coming in, two had already disappeared, and only three can be counted, so there are four more people."

Ah Song shook his head again: "I, I don't understand."

Xue Huan understood something, and said: "Simply put, there are definitely more people entering the illusion than we imagined."

"Didn't the card say before that there are other teams here? It didn't say that it was the first team. It could be two teams or three teams. But according to the current situation, one can only draw blood symbols once. It’s the tenth drawing, which means that there should be two teams and sixteen people before.” Yan Zhou sighed and said, “Maybe we can really wait until all the blood symbols are drawn before we can go out.”

Xue Huan immediately retorted: "When the blood talisman is finished, everyone will die."

Yan Zhou nuzzled: "I'm joking."

Xue Huan calmed down, floated a spirit wheel in front of him, pinched a few small golden dots, and placed them in sixteen positions, intending to reproduce the rules of this illusion.

"Anyway, this illusion is weird and impermanent, so let's first find a way of thinking that we can think through."

He took Yan Zhou's hypothesis into consideration, and said from the beginning: "If there were two groups of people before, a total of sixteen people, if one kills one, there will be blood symbols drawn in eight directions, leaving eight people; now there are ten blood The talisman has been drawn, that is to say, who drew the two blood talismans."

"There are twelve people in eight and four, but now there are ten people, so two people died, and it happens to be able to draw two blood symbols."

Xue Huan calculated in this way first, and said: "Now there are six chances to draw blood talismans, and twelve people are needed, but we only have ten people, and we can only draw five at most."

Xue Huan paused his golden hand, "Why can't you match?"

Two people are missing.

Yan Zhou picked out four purple fires with his fingertips, moved them to his spirit wheel, and said, "That's right." He put two purple fires on them, and said, "These two people were arrested at the beginning. It doesn’t count if you’re gone.” He picked two more purple fires and said, “These two, remember the three souls that escaped from the man’s body just now, except for the one that killed him, the other two are Killed by a man, so two were wasted."

For those two that were wasted, if one kills the other, there is just one chance to draw a blood talisman, so there should be six chances left to draw a talisman, but now there is one less chance.

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something." Yan Zhou said: "Maybe it can explain why the man who killed himself in the alley."
