Infinite Nerves [Infinity]
Chapter 38 The Other Side of Purgatory
In order to catch up with the routine interrogation, everyone quickened their pace when they returned.In the scorching heat, Qianwu suddenly stopped after walking halfway.
Peng Peng behind him slammed on the brakes and almost hit him.
After the injury, Peng Peng talked less, and just complained to the back of his head with his eyes so aggrieved.
Zhong Liye asked: "Why did you stop?"
"You go first." Jiang Chen said: "We still need to discuss clues."
"I thought the clues were clear. There is nothing to discuss." Peng Peng touched his nose, his face still pale, "Then let's go to Austria first, you two be careful, we are still in the screening pool."
When they were all gone, Jiang Chen turned his head to look over.
Qianwu's face was expressionless, and there seemed to be a sharpness in his pupils, "Why send him away?"
"It was you who stopped first." Jiang Chen sighed softly after looking at him for a while, "If you want to lose your temper, just do so."
The straw hat could no longer save the scorching heat, Qianwu's cheeks under the brim of the hat were pink, his chest heaved slightly, and he said angrily: "The nerves are really vicious, with several books attached, forcing people to run away in a hurry under the scorching sun every day. "
Jiang Chen could not hold back a laugh, "I knew it."
There seemed to be a cloud drifting away above his head, and the sun was getting hotter. Qianwu felt his headache throbbing and was on the verge of bursting. He pressed his temples and hated the nerves in his heart.
"Don't scold your nerves, you will be deducted points." Jiang Chen beside him said while casually glanced at the passers-by, stretched out his hand to him and said, "Come on, lend me the Zhuangzhuang sign."
"Why do you want this?" Qianwu stared at him suspiciously, "Aren't you possessed by a ghost?"
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I look like me?"
Qianwu's mouth was dry and he was too lazy to bicker, so he tore off the sign and threw it over.
Jiang Chen caught it, swayed the knot on his index finger, turned around and walked into the crowd.
He stopped a passerby to speak, and after two sentences, the person frowned and stared at him, turned around and left, and then he switched to the next target.
Qianwu couldn't help being confused, and took two steps forward.
Jiang Chen smiled at an old lady: "Sorry, can you give me some money? It's too hot in summer."
Qianwu's eyes widened, and he raised the brim of his hat and looked at Jiang Chen in shock.
"Young man, your reason for begging is too unconvincing." The old lady shook her head desperately and sighed, stretched out her hand, "I don't even want food. Here, I will show you a clear way, turn right ahead, turn right and turn right again , first go to the Beggar Gang to report and sign a sell-off contract."
"Okay, thank you." Jiang Chen still smiled decently, and switched to the next target.
"Don't look at me with eyes you haven't seen before." He smiled and looked for the target, and said to Qianwu: "We who have been in the army, in addition to being cold-faced and ignoring others, we also have the cheek to treat ourselves as robot."
He said that he found the next suitable candidate, and walked up again.
Mr. Commander has a good appearance, and it's probably easy to pick a few young girls to talk to.But Qianwu observed that Jiang Chen was either picking on an old lady or a man with a big waist and a round waist, a series of fiascos.
Until his feet were sore, a middle-aged man who was pulled stopped after hearing Jiang Chen's words.
The man's gaze seemed to have inadvertently swept over the small wooden fasting sign dangling in Jiang Chen's hand, and then glanced back after a while, like a cat pretending to be careless aiming at the cat teaser.
Qianwu suddenly understood what Jiang Chen was going to do.
"Insidious." He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "There is no respect for the mobs in the dungeon."
"Are you holding me just for money?" The man frowned and asked Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen frowned, "Finally caught a demon in the vast crowd."
"..."
"It seems that you know this, right? Stop talking nonsense, give me some money, hurry up." Jiang Chen urged: "It's not like you're living in the world without a single child."
"Yes, yes." The other party hesitantly touched his pocket, "But you have an amulet from our ancestors, not a bank note, so why should I give you money?"
"It's convenient when things happen, I don't understand this reason, how can I still be in purgatory?" Jiang Chen stared at him sharply.
"This..." The devil hesitated, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a man wearing a big straw hat, lowering his head and pressing the brim of the hat, as if he was covering something.
Jiang Chen followed him and turned his head to look, Qian Wu was already holding back his laughter and almost couldn't stand up straight.
"Come on," he urged.
The devil reluctantly took out two human silver ingots from his pocket, "What is your relationship with this ancestor?"
"What's the relationship?" Jiang Chen paused, "I'm the husband-in-law of his landlord's savior."
The guy on the opposite side fell into as long a silence as the store owner last night after hearing this string of conversations.
"Thank you." Jiang Chen brought the silver ingot over, "I wish you success every step of the way."
Qianwu was walking on the street, holding the cold sour plum water in a bamboo tube with both hands.
"The taste is not bad." Jiang Chen said after tasting it.
Qianwu drank half of the bottle silently, screwed the cap tightly, and smiled crookedly under the sun.
"When you smile like that, I don't think it's a good thing." Jiang Chen couldn't help but said, "Just say what you want."
"My heart is full of gratitude." Qianwu's voice became clear after drinking the sour plum water, and he said, "I am so grateful that I am speechless."
Jiang Chen sneered, "You better be."
The sour plum water is very sour, without any sugar, but enough ice.Take two sips under the sun, which is very thirst-quenching and refreshing.
Qian Wu felt a little addicted after drinking half of the can, drank the rest, and said with a smile, "After receiving the feeding from Brother Jiang Chen, I feel full of strength all over my body."
Jiang Chen, who was drinking water, choked on the spot and coughed twice in embarrassment.
Qianwu smiled and said nothing, and walked to the front.
Turning across this street, the front was full of people, Qian Wu waited for Jiang Chen to follow and stepped forward together.The road ahead was empty, and people gathered around the side of the road, talking and pointing in low voices.
Qian Wu saw nothing at a glance, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master Purgatory Noon is angry." The person in front said: "Still angry with a ghost messenger, dragged by chains for a street, how have we ever seen such a scene? Oh, it's scary!"
"Oh, you made a mistake, brother!" The person next to him quickly waved his hands, "It's not Purgatory Noon, it's Mr. Purgatory Son."
"Nonsense, Mr. Purgatory only patrols the streets at night, and he seldom gets angry."
The man sighed and said, "I don't know about that, but I know that Master Lian Ji Wu used a fire whip, and the one holding the chains is Lian Ji Zi."
As soon as they finished speaking, the sound of metal rubbing against the ground sounded from the other side of the long street, and the scratching sound made one's scalp tingle.
Sure enough, it was Purgatory. He was still expressionless as usual, and there seemed to be no life in his eyes.But now, he was holding a red chain in his right hand, wrapped it around his palm a few times, dragged it down long, and tied a guy's neck at the other end.
That guy was obviously dying, with his head drooping, dragged behind him like a dilapidated kite, across the scorching earth under the scorching sun.
"Yo, it really isn't human!"
"No, there is no shadow!"
Qian Wu asked in a low voice: "Do you know what's going on?"
"How do we know?" The man curled his lips, but then said mysteriously: "It is likely to be a struggle in Purgatory. I usually see that Lian Ji Wu's attitude towards Lian Jizi is arrogant. This town is probably still in Purgatory Wu. There are many subordinates, and it is possible that the bullying has made Lian Guizi anxious."
Discussions continued one after another, but Purgatory Son seemed unable to hear them.When he passed by Qianwu, he paused slightly and turned to look over.
"It's almost time for the routine interrogation. If you are late, you may be refunded." He looked at Qianwu calmly, "I saw you at the Chen family in the morning, and I will see you on the street now, why are you everywhere?"
Qianwu smiled softly when he heard the words: "Maybe we are destined."
"It's destined." Purgatory child snorted, and couldn't help but look at Qianwu again after a while.
Qianwu, who had drunk the sour plum water, was refreshed, his black eyes were clear and bright, but the heat was still hard to escape under the scorching sun, his red lips were fluttering, and the peach color spread on his fair skin.
Such an innocent and innocent appearance makes people feel dangerous for no reason when he smiles.
"You are really a bit like my brother." He suddenly said softly.
Qian Wu raised his eyebrows, "Yes, some people say that I look a bit like you."
Beside Qianwu, the person named suppressed a gloomy expression.
"This one." Purgatory Man said and turned to him, "It seems that every time I say that he looks like my younger brother, you don't like it very much."
"Very unhappy." Jiang Chen said in a serious tone.
Hearing the words, Purgatory Child slightly curled the corners of his mouth. It was the first time in these days that he smiled at the townspeople.
"It's useless if you don't like it. After all, this is a town where demons are respected." He said as he pulled the chain, the thick. The big buckle rubbed against the ground, and the demon, who had been frightened, exuded a wave of light under the scorching sun. An unspeakable smell.Purgatory suddenly frowned, and the disgust in his eyes flashed. He stared at the guy on the other end of the chain. After a while, the iron chain became even redder. never existed.
The melon-eating crowd immediately fell silent, and everyone was as quiet as a chicken.
"You don't seem to be worse than your younger brother." Qianwu suddenly said: "I have seen your younger brother use a whip, but he seems unable to use his will to drive the fire whip like you."
"I never said that I am worse than Purgatory afternoon." Purgatory son said calmly: "I am an older brother, and my older brother is worse than my younger brother. How can I shoulder the responsibility of my elder brother?"
"then you……"
The purgator swept across his face indifferently, the iron chain disappeared, he turned and left calmly, and said: "What Purgatory needs most is not ability, but incomparable relationships. I just don't have a younger brother to make progress."
Watching a demon roadshow, Qian Wu and Jiang Chen hurried, and when they returned to the inn, they still saw the chattering devil at the door.
The interrogation had obviously begun, so Qianwu simply slowed down.
The two ghost messengers are obviously in a good mood today, and they still have melon seeds in their hands.
One said: "My lord is in a good mood today, he didn't scold us or beat us."
The other nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it's so wonderful to have a ghost life without being beaten or scolded."
Qian Wu recognized one of them at a glance, it turned out to be the shop owner who chased him for ten streets last night.
He walked over and took a handful of melon seeds from the bowl he was holding, "What's going on?"
"..." The ghost messenger was about to get angry, but when he looked up and saw Qianwu, he withered back expressionlessly.
"Why are you here again?" He said in an aggrieved voice, "If you don't let me eat, don't dangle in front of my eyes."
Qian Wu squinted at him coldly, "Why is Purgatory Wu in a good mood?"
"You have to ask this too." The other party frowned dissatisfied.
Qian Wu raised his eyebrows, "After all, I belong to your ancestors..."
"The landlord's savior." The other party answered angrily, then turned to Jiang Chen, and said, "And you, my husband."
Jiang Chen: "..."
"It took me a long time to understand your relationship. It's really good enough to talk about." Poor. The power of the Eighth Palace in this town is not much, this time makes our Ninth Palace even more powerful."
"Oh?" Qianwu seemed completely ignorant, "Why did you deal with your own people?"
"Well——" the other party rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, and said while eating melon seeds: "That kid may have said something bad about us adults, and he probably wants to flatter Lord Badian, but how would he know that his family My lord's humbleness in front of my lords has been used as a dog's leg instead."
"Shh!" another demon interrupted, "Don't be so blunt."
"Just listen and have fun." He raised his chin to Qianwu, "Don't talk nonsense later, if the adults get angry and want to kill you, no one can control you."
Qian Wu threw the melon seeds back into their bowl, "Got it."
The curtain of the kitchen was lifted, and Purgatory Wu came out from inside, with a spring breeze and peach blossoms on his face, staring at everyone with a smile.
Qian Wu was taken aback by his happy look.
"You all performed well today." Purgatory Wu clapped his hands and looked at everyone with a smile, "For the sake of everyone's efforts to adapt to the small town, I will carefully consider today's selection criteria and put you all out of the circle. Make it a small reward."
Everyone was silent for a moment, Xiaobai couldn't help but said: "But you didn't ask anything..."
"Or—" Wen Li's voice paused slightly, "Being stared at with a smile by you for a minute without being scared to cry, does this count as passing the interrogation?"
"I'm in a good mood, what do you know." Purgatory Wu said, seeing Qianwu and Jiang Chen, raised his eyebrows, "Oh, there are two latecomers, why do I feel that there are so few people?"
Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, Purgatory Wu waved his hand again, "Okay, it seems that you two are quite used to the small town, and you both passed."
Jiang Chen: "..."
When Purgatory was walking for lunch, Qianwu noticed that he was wearing a small cloth bag around his waist, which was bulging and seemed to be stuffed with small round particles.The moment they passed by, a very faint smell of red beans floated by, lingering for a long time in the clear weather.
After all the ghost messengers outside the inn had dispersed, Xiao Bai waved and said, "Everyone, let's deal with it."
"According to the story line we speculate now, Chen Ma and Chen Shu were children in Purgatory Ziwu." Peng Peng took two teacups to represent the two, and said: "My brother was killed by human traffickers when he was young and stepped into Purgatory. The location of the upper nine halls. My brother crashed into purgatory by himself after his family was ruined. I don’t know or don’t want to believe that my brother sacrificed his family, right?”
Qu Ying nodded and said, "That's right. Lianyuanzi is the source of the curse of this small town. He supervised this small town in order to repeat it again and again and help him find out the truth about the successive deaths of the Chen family at that time. Once the truth is found out, Regardless of whether there is any brother-in-law fighting between him and Purgatory Noon, we can break the curse and leave this copy."
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Zhong Liye said, "I'm curious, even we can find the cinnabar on the old man's fingertips. After watching so many reincarnations, has the Purgator never noticed it?"
"Because that is not conclusive evidence." Qian Wu said indifferently: "A brother who deeply trusts and dotes on his younger brother, it is impossible to think of the blood mole on his younger brother's eyes just because of a little cinnabar, even if he thinks of it, he will never believe it. "
Peng Peng sighed, "He doesn't want to believe it himself, so what else can we do? Seeing how arrogant Lian Guizi was to his brother, it was impossible to sacrifice his brother back then, that is to say, the four NPCs wanted to get rid of Chen Shu , so two of them are dead now, and one will have to fall when we wake up tomorrow morning. If you don’t wake up the purgator before tomorrow night, everyone will finish the game.”
Qianwu suddenly looked at Qu Ying: "You gave him the thing hanging on the waist of Purgatory Noon? It smells very strong of red beans."
"It's me." Qu Ying nodded, "It's a bag of raw red beans, which has no smell. But the bag containing red beans was used to process red bean paste two days ago, and it has a strong red bean smell."
"What are you doing for the red beans?" Peng Peng frowned and asked.
Qu Ying said softly, "I have an idea, I don't know if it's reliable or not, but it's okay to try, so I made my own proposition."
"
you say. "Qianwu looked at her.
"I don't know if it's right, but I vaguely feel that Lian Ji Wu likes Lian Ji Zi a little bit." Qu Ying's voice was very soft, with an uncertain tone.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Qian Wu, and then asked, "How did you see that?"
"Have you noticed it too?" Qu Ying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "Then I'm much more sure. It's hard to tell where I got it from, it's probably a subtle intuition. Yesterday I saw him be so vicious towards Purgatory, Instead, I feel like a child who is showing off my brother’s tolerance, and today—I don’t know why, seeing him walk in with a smile on his face, my first instinct is that it has something to do with Purgatory.”
Qian Wu didn't say whether or not, he looked down at Qu Ying's arm, the red nerve was light in color, but it was considered a little talent among ordinary players.
Qu Ying did almost nothing in the last book, but in this book, she is obviously much sharper than other players.Qianwu suddenly realized that, except perhaps the ultimate talent, other people's sensitivities have their own scenes, and the performance of their abilities may not be stable.
"So when he was staring at me just now, I gave him two packs of red beans, asked him to keep one pack, and pass on the other pack to Lian Guizi." Qu Ying said in a low voice: "I said that red beans are something that our hometown enshrines, Especially among relatives. When I first came to the town, I was taken care of by him and Lian Jizi, I hope he and Lian Jizi can accept this red bean, it is regarded as a small favor."
Peng Peng said in amazement: "A woman's mouth is a deceiving ghost."
"How did he react?" Jiang Chen asked.
Qu Ying said, "He was very happy, saying that his good-for-nothing brother likes these poor things, and they are just used to pay back yesterday's rattle, both clear."
"You want Lian Ji Wu to kill the next Chen family, leaving new traces, so that Lian Jizi has to believe all of this." Zhong Liye frowned and said: "It's hard to say, the Chen family just follows the trajectory of the facts back then. To die is not necessarily the current Purgatory Noon who kills with his own hands."
"He killed it with his own hands." Qu Ying shook her head when she heard the words, this time her eyes were very firm: "If all our previous speculations are true, Lian Guizi re-fabricated this time and space, but he falsified the information about Chen Ma because he felt sorry for his younger brother. Fate. Chen Ma was not killed by human traffickers, but naturally stopped at a certain point in time and did not enter purgatory. Do you understand? Lian Guizi does not want his younger brother to enter purgatory, so there will not be two purgatory afternoons at the same time."
Everyone was silent, but Qianwu suddenly lowered his eyes and laughed.
"What she means is that in this time and space that has been slightly tampered with, the dead Chen Ma just died quietly, did not become a demon, and did not have the ability to sacrifice relatives." He gently turned a small "But the Chen family is still dying one after another. It is Lian Ji Wu himself, in order to make everything look the same as before, in countless reincarnations, repeating evil things over and over again."
"Ah—" Peng Peng's eyes straightened, he looked at Qian Wu for a while, and then at Qu Ying.
"Looks like a fool to me," he said.
Qianwu smiled and bumped the cup in Qu Ying's hand with a small teacup.
"I see the same thing." He said, "I decided to give you a glass of sour plum water."
Jiang Chen glanced over quietly, "What's the share, you've already drunk it, don't you know?"
"Is that so?" Qianwu turned the bamboo tube upside down, "Where's yours?"
"It's gone too." Jiang Chen held the bamboo tube and said indifferently.
Before Qianwu entered the door, he clearly heard the sound of water swaying in his bamboo tube, so he glanced at him, but did not say anything.
"I still don't understand." Wen Li said: "After checking so many reincarnations, why can't I find out that Lian Ji Wu is doing it?"
"Huh?" Qu Ying was taken aback, "Purgatory Noon is so powerful, it couldn't be easier to kill someone silently in the middle of the night."
"Purgating the streets in the middle of the night." Wen Li frowned and shook his head, "What is the purpose of patrolling the streets? It's not like my brother can't even find out when he enters Chen's courtyard."
Qianwu's eyes were calm, and he took out the pencil from Jiang Chen's chest pocket, playing with it, and said, "I've been thinking about this too. Chen Shu was not sacrificed back then, and he just happened to be the only one who survived to the end. The existence that is suspected by the purgatory son. And Chen Shu was originally the childhood of the purgatory son, he would not suspect himself. If I were the purgatory noon, I would disguise myself as Chen Shu in the middle of the night and go to work."
"It's very scheming." Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Qianwu, it's a little scary."
"To each other." Qianwu smiled, took the bamboo tube in his hand, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of sour plum water.
Peng Peng: "...the agreement is gone, liar."
"Then you don't know." Qian Wu was so sour that he narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Jiang Chen, and said with a smile, "Mr. Commander has a bad stomach, and he can deceive people with his mouth."
Jiang Chen snorted coldly, "Look in the mirror first, and then say this."
Peng Peng behind him slammed on the brakes and almost hit him.
After the injury, Peng Peng talked less, and just complained to the back of his head with his eyes so aggrieved.
Zhong Liye asked: "Why did you stop?"
"You go first." Jiang Chen said: "We still need to discuss clues."
"I thought the clues were clear. There is nothing to discuss." Peng Peng touched his nose, his face still pale, "Then let's go to Austria first, you two be careful, we are still in the screening pool."

Jiang Chen could not hold back a laugh, "I knew it."
There seemed to be a cloud drifting away above his head, and the sun was getting hotter. Qianwu felt his headache throbbing and was on the verge of bursting. He pressed his temples and hated the nerves in his heart.

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Chen still smiled decently, and switched to the next target.
"Don't look at me with eyes you haven't seen before." He smiled and looked for the target, and said to Qianwu: "We who have been in the army, in addition to being cold-faced and ignoring others, we also have the cheek to treat ourselves as robot."

"You don't seem to be worse than your younger brother." Qianwu suddenly said: "I have seen your younger brother use a whip, but he seems unable to use his will to drive the fire whip like you."
"I never said that I am worse than Purgatory afternoon." Purgatory son said calmly: "I am an older brother, and my older brother is worse than my younger brother. How can I shoulder the responsibility of my elder brother?"
"then you……"
The purgator swept across his face indifferently, the iron chain disappeared, he turned and left calmly, and said: "What Purgatory needs most is not ability, but incomparable relationships. I just don't have a younger brother to make progress."
Watching a demon roadshow, Qian Wu and Jiang Chen hurried, and when they returned to the inn, they still saw the chattering devil at the door.
The interrogation had obviously begun, so Qianwu simply slowed down.
The two ghost messengers are obviously in a good mood today, and they still have melon seeds in their hands.
One said: "My lord is in a good mood today, he didn't scold us or beat us."
The other nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it's so wonderful to have a ghost life without being beaten or scolded."
Qian Wu recognized one of them at a glance, it turned out to be the shop owner who chased him for ten streets last night.
He walked over and took a handful of melon seeds from the bowl he was holding, "What's going on?"
"..." The ghost messenger was about to get angry, but when he looked up and saw Qianwu, he withered back expressionlessly.
"Why are you here again?" He said in an aggrieved voice, "If you don't let me eat, don't dangle in front of my eyes."
Qian Wu squinted at him coldly, "Why is Purgatory Wu in a good mood?"
"You have to ask this too." The other party frowned dissatisfied.
Qian Wu raised his eyebrows, "After all, I belong to your ancestors..."
"The landlord's savior." The other party answered angrily, then turned to Jiang Chen, and said, "And you, my husband."
Jiang Chen: "..."
"It took me a long time to understand your relationship. It's really good enough to talk about." Poor. The power of the Eighth Palace in this town is not much, this time makes our Ninth Palace even more powerful."
"Oh?" Qianwu seemed completely ignorant, "Why did you deal with your own people?"
"Well——" the other party rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, and said while eating melon seeds: "That kid may have said something bad about us adults, and he probably wants to flatter Lord Badian, but how would he know that his family My lord's humbleness in front of my lords has been used as a dog's leg instead."
"Shh!" another demon interrupted, "Don't be so blunt."
"Just listen and have fun." He raised his chin to Qianwu, "Don't talk nonsense later, if the adults get angry and want to kill you, no one can control you."
Qian Wu threw the melon seeds back into their bowl, "Got it."
The curtain of the kitchen was lifted, and Purgatory Wu came out from inside, with a spring breeze and peach blossoms on his face, staring at everyone with a smile.
Qian Wu was taken aback by his happy look.
"You all performed well today." Purgatory Wu clapped his hands and looked at everyone with a smile, "For the sake of everyone's efforts to adapt to the small town, I will carefully consider today's selection criteria and put you all out of the circle. Make it a small reward."
Everyone was silent for a moment, Xiaobai couldn't help but said: "But you didn't ask anything..."
"Or—" Wen Li's voice paused slightly, "Being stared at with a smile by you for a minute without being scared to cry, does this count as passing the interrogation?"
"I'm in a good mood, what do you know." Purgatory Wu said, seeing Qianwu and Jiang Chen, raised his eyebrows, "Oh, there are two latecomers, why do I feel that there are so few people?"
Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, Purgatory Wu waved his hand again, "Okay, it seems that you two are quite used to the small town, and you both passed."
Jiang Chen: "..."
When Purgatory was walking for lunch, Qianwu noticed that he was wearing a small cloth bag around his waist, which was bulging and seemed to be stuffed with small round particles.The moment they passed by, a very faint smell of red beans floated by, lingering for a long time in the clear weather.
After all the ghost messengers outside the inn had dispersed, Xiao Bai waved and said, "Everyone, let's deal with it."
"According to the story line we speculate now, Chen Ma and Chen Shu were children in Purgatory Ziwu." Peng Peng took two teacups to represent the two, and said: "My brother was killed by human traffickers when he was young and stepped into Purgatory. The location of the upper nine halls. My brother crashed into purgatory by himself after his family was ruined. I don’t know or don’t want to believe that my brother sacrificed his family, right?”
Qu Ying nodded and said, "That's right. Lianyuanzi is the source of the curse of this small town. He supervised this small town in order to repeat it again and again and help him find out the truth about the successive deaths of the Chen family at that time. Once the truth is found out, Regardless of whether there is any brother-in-law fighting between him and Purgatory Noon, we can break the curse and leave this copy."
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Zhong Liye said, "I'm curious, even we can find the cinnabar on the old man's fingertips. After watching so many reincarnations, has the Purgator never noticed it?"
"Because that is not conclusive evidence." Qian Wu said indifferently: "A brother who deeply trusts and dotes on his younger brother, it is impossible to think of the blood mole on his younger brother's eyes just because of a little cinnabar, even if he thinks of it, he will never believe it. "
Peng Peng sighed, "He doesn't want to believe it himself, so what else can we do? Seeing how arrogant Lian Guizi was to his brother, it was impossible to sacrifice his brother back then, that is to say, the four NPCs wanted to get rid of Chen Shu , so two of them are dead now, and one will have to fall when we wake up tomorrow morning. If you don’t wake up the purgator before tomorrow night, everyone will finish the game.”
Qianwu suddenly looked at Qu Ying: "You gave him the thing hanging on the waist of Purgatory Noon? It smells very strong of red beans."
"It's me." Qu Ying nodded, "It's a bag of raw red beans, which has no smell. But the bag containing red beans was used to process red bean paste two days ago, and it has a strong red bean smell."
"What are you doing for the red beans?" Peng Peng frowned and asked.
Qu Ying said softly, "I have an idea, I don't know if it's reliable or not, but it's okay to try, so I made my own proposition."
"
you say. "Qianwu looked at her.
"I don't know if it's right, but I vaguely feel that Lian Ji Wu likes Lian Ji Zi a little bit." Qu Ying's voice was very soft, with an uncertain tone.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Qian Wu, and then asked, "How did you see that?"
"Have you noticed it too?" Qu Ying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "Then I'm much more sure. It's hard to tell where I got it from, it's probably a subtle intuition. Yesterday I saw him be so vicious towards Purgatory, Instead, I feel like a child who is showing off my brother’s tolerance, and today—I don’t know why, seeing him walk in with a smile on his face, my first instinct is that it has something to do with Purgatory.”
Qian Wu didn't say whether or not, he looked down at Qu Ying's arm, the red nerve was light in color, but it was considered a little talent among ordinary players.
Qu Ying did almost nothing in the last book, but in this book, she is obviously much sharper than other players.Qianwu suddenly realized that, except perhaps the ultimate talent, other people's sensitivities have their own scenes, and the performance of their abilities may not be stable.
"So when he was staring at me just now, I gave him two packs of red beans, asked him to keep one pack, and pass on the other pack to Lian Guizi." Qu Ying said in a low voice: "I said that red beans are something that our hometown enshrines, Especially among relatives. When I first came to the town, I was taken care of by him and Lian Jizi, I hope he and Lian Jizi can accept this red bean, it is regarded as a small favor."
Peng Peng said in amazement: "A woman's mouth is a deceiving ghost."
"How did he react?" Jiang Chen asked.
Qu Ying said, "He was very happy, saying that his good-for-nothing brother likes these poor things, and they are just used to pay back yesterday's rattle, both clear."
"You want Lian Ji Wu to kill the next Chen family, leaving new traces, so that Lian Jizi has to believe all of this." Zhong Liye frowned and said: "It's hard to say, the Chen family just follows the trajectory of the facts back then. To die is not necessarily the current Purgatory Noon who kills with his own hands."
"He killed it with his own hands." Qu Ying shook her head when she heard the words, this time her eyes were very firm: "If all our previous speculations are true, Lian Guizi re-fabricated this time and space, but he falsified the information about Chen Ma because he felt sorry for his younger brother. Fate. Chen Ma was not killed by human traffickers, but naturally stopped at a certain point in time and did not enter purgatory. Do you understand? Lian Guizi does not want his younger brother to enter purgatory, so there will not be two purgatory afternoons at the same time."
Everyone was silent, but Qianwu suddenly lowered his eyes and laughed.
"What she means is that in this time and space that has been slightly tampered with, the dead Chen Ma just died quietly, did not become a demon, and did not have the ability to sacrifice relatives." He gently turned a small "But the Chen family is still dying one after another. It is Lian Ji Wu himself, in order to make everything look the same as before, in countless reincarnations, repeating evil things over and over again."
"Ah—" Peng Peng's eyes straightened, he looked at Qian Wu for a while, and then at Qu Ying.
"Looks like a fool to me," he said.
Qianwu smiled and bumped the cup in Qu Ying's hand with a small teacup.
"I see the same thing." He said, "I decided to give you a glass of sour plum water."
Jiang Chen glanced over quietly, "What's the share, you've already drunk it, don't you know?"
"Is that so?" Qianwu turned the bamboo tube upside down, "Where's yours?"
"It's gone too." Jiang Chen held the bamboo tube and said indifferently.
Before Qianwu entered the door, he clearly heard the sound of water swaying in his bamboo tube, so he glanced at him, but did not say anything.
"I still don't understand." Wen Li said: "After checking so many reincarnations, why can't I find out that Lian Ji Wu is doing it?"
"Huh?" Qu Ying was taken aback, "Purgatory Noon is so powerful, it couldn't be easier to kill someone silently in the middle of the night."
"Purgating the streets in the middle of the night." Wen Li frowned and shook his head, "What is the purpose of patrolling the streets? It's not like my brother can't even find out when he enters Chen's courtyard."
Qianwu's eyes were calm, and he took out the pencil from Jiang Chen's chest pocket, playing with it, and said, "I've been thinking about this too. Chen Shu was not sacrificed back then, and he just happened to be the only one who survived to the end. The existence that is suspected by the purgatory son. And Chen Shu was originally the childhood of the purgatory son, he would not suspect himself. If I were the purgatory noon, I would disguise myself as Chen Shu in the middle of the night and go to work."
"It's very scheming." Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Qianwu, it's a little scary."
"To each other." Qianwu smiled, took the bamboo tube in his hand, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of sour plum water.
Peng Peng: "...the agreement is gone, liar."
"Then you don't know." Qian Wu was so sour that he narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Jiang Chen, and said with a smile, "Mr. Commander has a bad stomach, and he can deceive people with his mouth."
Jiang Chen snorted coldly, "Look in the mirror first, and then say this."
