Horror game, I became the group's favorite after my mind was read

Sister Jiang finished chanting and slowly walked to the middle of the villagers. She looked at the players who were unable to break through the closed area with a smile on her lips.

Su Qing still couldn't sense the strange aura from them. This was really too weird, because their skin had obviously begun to change.

Brown bumps and bark-like lines began to emerge from their exposed skin.

Their pupils began to turn white, and their fingers and limbs became much longer, like saplings.

Even at this point, Su Qing's exorcism spell still had no effect, and the wriggling tree roots from under his feet, behind him, and in all directions had obviously treated the players as food.

Clang—Huo Fan raised his sword and swung it down, the Tang sword chopped down and landed on the villager closest to him.

However - hiss, although the villagers were injured, at the same time, a large bloody wound appeared on Huo Fan's back.

"Boss!" Zhang Qing was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and caught Huo Fan faster than Su Qing.

"Be careful!" Huo Fan looked in Su Qing's direction.

At the moment of falling, he struggled to support himself, and the tip of the Tang sword touched the ground. With this force, he was able to stop falling and rushed forward to pull Su Qing away.

Crash—the strange tree roots that rushed out from the ground pierced Huo Fan's sleeve and scratched his arm.

But if he hadn't reacted so quickly just now, it would have been Su Qing who would have been pierced.

The wound on his back opened wider due to the excessive movement, and blood gushed out.

"Uncle!"/"Huo Fan!" Fang Xiyu and Su Qing shouted almost at the same time.

"Don't worry about me! Observe these tree roots." Huo Fan said coldly. Although his tone was still calm, his breathing was unstable.

While Fang Xiyu was still puzzled, Rong Lele spoke: "...lean against the wall, and when attacked, dodge to the right first and then to the left. This will give you about 3 seconds to make your decision."

When others still didn't understand, Huo Fan said: "Do it!"

The players did as they were told and indeed felt much more relaxed.

It's like a dance machine. It may be difficult for you to react by looking at the screen, but if you know the rhythm, you can react with your body as soon as you see it because your brain is prepared.

Huo Fan cast a strange glance at Rong Lele. He didn't expect that the thinking of the "evil god" was the same as that of the players.

Rong Lele remained very calm and didn't even glance at the players.

She was observing, observing more trajectories of the tree roots.

Although these trees are tangled and their roots are almost everywhere, Rong Lele discovered that these roots always move to the left first when they break out of the ground, a bit like the pre-swing of the boss in the game in her previous life.

Everything has two sides, and the reason these trees are so strong is because they are all part of the sacred tree, which is omnipresent and shares one consciousness.

But the corresponding defect is that they cannot act separately, because under the command of a unified consciousness, they have similar habitual movements.

It was only after Rong Lele confirmed this that she began to command the players.

After everyone's condition improved, Fang Xiyu quickly handed his uncle a blood tonic.

To be honest, he had never seen his uncle so badly injured. He could almost see the flesh and blood turning apart, revealing the white bones.

His hands were shaking a little as he handed over the medicine.

Su Qing was extremely panicked, feeling touched and anxious, her tone was tearful: "Why did you risk your life to save me? What should I do if something happens to you..."

"I'm fine." Huo Fan pushed away Su Qing who was still leaning on him. At this moment, Su Qing's big eyes were full of affection, more moving than usual. It can be said that any man who saw her would be moved.

But Huo Fan completely ignored it, his expression sharp and his tone solemn.

“You rely too much on the spell. Even if the spell is useless, you shouldn’t panic.

Didn't you receive combat training in the Special Intelligence Agency?"

Su Qing's face suddenly turned pale.

She opened her mouth and wanted to speak but her throat felt as if it was blocked and very dry.

She knew that Huo Fan treated other teammates the same way, because negligence in the game could lead to irreversible consequences.

But, she was not at a loss because of her reliance on the spell, but because of him.

Because he was willing to suffer injuries to save her at such an urgent moment, she felt guilty but also secretly happy at that moment, he really did it for her...

Because of the indulgence of emotions, he was distracted at such a critical moment, but Huo Fan seemed to have misunderstood.

The coldness in his tone made Su Qing's heart, which had just begun to beat, feel like it was frozen.

"Uncle, please don't be mean to Sister Qing." Fang Xiyu saw something was wrong.

"Sister Qing is so anxious because of you. She cares about you, and she is worried. Don't you know how hard she trains in the Special Intelligence Bureau?"

Su Qing could have held back, but when Fang Xiyu said this, the grievance in her heart flooded over like a tide, and her eyes suddenly turned red:

"No, it's okay, Xiaoyu, please stop talking. Captain Huo Fan is right. I can't hold others back."

Huo Fan paused. Actually, he was not blaming Su Qing for holding him back. In fact, he was Su Qing's protector. Su Qing had the blood of the Heavenly Master family. Moreover, the Qi family's prophecy said that in the future, someone who could control ghosts would end the horror era.

But if that person dies, the future of Blue Planet will be dark.

Huo Fan is not a superstitious person about prophecies, but as a former soldier, he has the responsibility to protect any hope of China, which is why he puts Su Qing's life above his own.

If necessary, he could die for her and sacrifice himself for the hope and protection of China. This was his duty.

He originally had the confidence that he could protect Su Qing, but everything in this copy made him realize that humans are still too insignificant in the face of horror.

It is impossible to attack the boss here, the attack will be transferred to yourself. This copy has restricted the players from the very beginning, as it seems that the only way for players to leave safely is to follow the plot here, become a vassal of the sacred tree, and help the evil.

Because he had encountered such an unpredictable danger, he was worried that if he died, Su Qing would still not be able to escape unscathed?

So what he said just now was actually just that he hoped Su Qing would not rely too much on him.

Unexpectedly, Su Qing seemed to have overthought it.

Huo Fan suddenly felt guilty, and the cold expression on his face softened. After taking a closer look, he found that Su Qing's eyes were red and she looked pitiful with tears in her eyes.

"I--"

He was just about to comfort her and apologize to her, but then -

[Tsk tsk, what kind of straight man is Huo Fan? Doesn't he know that Su Qing likes him? ]

[Such a fierce girl deserves to be single. 】

[Look at his expression, he must have realized it and regretted it. Comfort her quickly, but he is so straightforward that he probably can't say anything to comfort a girl.]

[This is not as good as Fang Xiyu. Fang Xiyu understands girls better than him. ]

[Learn more from Zhang Qing. Look at how Zhang Qing takes care of Zhu Xin. ]

Fang Xiyu:......

Zhang Qing: ...

Huo Fan:? ? ?

No, Fang Xiyu and Zhang Qing touched their noses at the same time, feeling a little embarrassed and not daring to look at the captain.

Huo Fan was about to say something comforting, but he took it back.

His originally handsome and carefree look disappeared, and his face seemed to have a bit of a reddening color.

Does Su Qing like him? How come he doesn’t know?

How did this evil person know my inner thoughts? Damn it.

Were you made fun of by a ghost?
