I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

Just when the tyrannical desire to kill was about to cover the last sliver of rationality, Qi Chi's eyes suddenly flickered, prompting the Soul Eater Lotus to stop blooming in time.

"Stand-in." He sighed in a low voice, and then suddenly flashed in front of the figure in the black robe, reached out and directly thrust|into the other's chest.

"Hmm!" The man in the black robe groaned, but the treacherous smile on his lips widened.

"As expected of you..." the man said.

Xi Chi remained silent, but the hand that was deeply embedded in the other party's body exerted force. After grabbing something, he pulled it out vigorously, only to see a delicate white wolf hair brush appearing in front of his eyes.

The man in the black robe looked down at the black hole that suddenly appeared in his chest, and let out a sinister smile.

"Tsk, why are you so rude? Since you want this money so much, let's take it as a souvenir." The man in the robe said, then turned his head to take a deep look at Jiang Miao, and said with a smile, "It's just After playing with it, remember to return it to its original owner.”

Immediately, his body began to appear transparent and disappeared.

With a twist of his wrist, Qi Chi took back the soul-eating lotus that hadn't yet bloomed.The red mist dissipated, he frowned and took a deep breath and exhaled again. After several back and forth, he finally forcibly suppressed the bloodthirsty and violence that might erupt at any time.

At the same time, beside a cluster of bonfires in the wilderness, a trace of blood dripped from the corners of the lips of the Taoist in black robes.

He slowly opened his eyes, wiped away the blood with slightly trembling hands, and then looked at it with great interest, the excitement in his eyes became even stronger...

"Oh, pretending to be a gentleman, but always loves to play tricks." The Taoist shook his head and sighed, "So despicable and shameless, I can only deceive Xiao Miao..."

……

In the grotto, the barrier of the chrysalis was sacrificed by Bissau's blood, so there is no possibility of breaking through it at this moment.

You Ji gritted his teeth and stood in front of the chrysalis, fingering the red string tied to the gun. The bell on the string made a small sound following his movements, which seemed a bit abrupt in the silence.

"I've checked inside and out, and now I'm afraid it's unlikely to start with the enchantment itself." Jiang Miao's tone was exhausted, and he sighed, "Let's go back to the residence first, after all, this place is not A place where we can discuss countermeasures."

"The person hasn't been rescued yet, so you're leaving now?" You Ji said in a muffled voice, without turning his head, still staring at the bright red chrysalis.

Jiang Miao: "You..."

"If you want to go, you go." You Ji stood upright on the spot and interrupted directly, "I'll stay with him."

"You are undoubtedly wasting time by staying here now." Jiang Xiao frowned.

"What else can we discuss?" There was a sneer on You Ji's face, "Should I keep the big or the young?"

"You Ji!" Jiang Miao scolded in a low voice, "Please be careful what you say!"

You Ji's throat trembled, and he subconsciously turned his head to glance at Xiao Jiao behind him. When he saw that the other party was also looking at him with worried expression, he couldn't help but froze.

"It may not be that there is really no other way." Qi Chi suddenly said in a low voice.

You Ji instantly refreshed himself: "What do you mean?!"

"Since this enchantment uses the secret art of the Roy tribe, maybe there will be a turning point from now on." Qi Chi glanced at You Ji lightly and said, "Isn't there still a person living in the backyard of the Tang family?"

"You're right, you're right..." You Ji walked back and forth in the same place, repeating this sentence over and over again, then turned around suddenly, took big strides, turned around and walked out, "Then don't be stunned caught!"

"Brother You Ji...!" Seeing You Ji leaving in a hurry, Xiao Jiao bit her lip and took another look at the skinless blood corpse in the chrysalis, then turned around and ran over.

But Jiang Miao, who looked at the backs of the two, did not relax his brows for a long time.

He asked Qi Chi in a low voice: "Are you serious? A Yu is already an Asura, and using her as the enchantment blessed by the blood sacrifice, how can Lu Shan have a way to break it?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Qi Chi looked at Jiang Miao helplessly and said, "Do you really want him to stay here and wait for the day lily to cool down?"

"..." Jiang Xiao was speechless.

"Let's go." Qi Chi took Jiang Xiao's shoulders and led him out.After taking two steps, Jiang Miao stopped again, lowered his head and asked bitterly, "Brother Xiaohua, what do you think I did in my previous life?"

Xi Chi remained silent, but the arms hugging Jiang Miao tightened even more.When the two left the Luoshen Grottoes side by side, Qi Chi said again in a deep voice, "I'll be with you."

……

In the middle of the night, heavy fog fell in Sui Town.In the occasional thunder and lightning and the fine rain, a carriage pulled a blanket rolled up with a straw mat, quietly left from the side door of the Tang residence, and gradually drifted away towards the graveyard of Beishan...

In the darkness of night, a strand of long hair mixed with a few strands of white silk fell out from between the straw mats, and was caught in the wheel of the car in a blink of an eye.

The groom who was driving the carriage didn't care, he yawned and waved away a few crow-blue butterflies covering the straw mat.

Lu Shan died, so it was supposed to be the time when Jiang Miao and the others saw A Yu.Someone said that she twisted a hemp rope and sneaked into the room of Tang Deyong and the third wife at night.Frantically strangling the rope around the third wife's neck.

In desperation, Tang Deyong picked up a stool and smashed it on the back of the eldest wife's head.The eldest wife fell to the ground on the spot and died instantly.

When things got here, they naturally came to an end.After all, no one would question the head of the Tang family just because of a crazy woman who had passed away in her youth and had no relatives or reason.

In the hotel at this time, Xiao Jiao sat blankly in front of the vanity mirror, staring at herself in the mirror with slack eyes.

He didn't cry, but he was very cold.You Ji silently hugged a thick quilt from the bed, wrapping him up from behind.

"I've always wanted to recall her appearance..." Xiaojiao said foolishly, "But I just can't remember. Do you think she was sober or confused when she died?"

"..."

You Ji has never been good at words, he always feels that he should speak comforting words, but he doesn't know what to say.In the end, I could only truthfully say, "I don't know."

"If you're confused, you won't be sad." Xiaojiao curled the corner of her lower lip, her eyes filled with loneliness.

"But if you are sober, will you also feel that your life is not worth it?"

You Ji swallowed his saliva, pulled the quilt up again, and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes."

"I can't be like her..." Xiao Jiao lowered her head, seeming to be talking to You Ji, but she was subconsciously muttering to herself.

"You won't die." You Ji interrupted resolutely, but he knew that there was actually a little bit of confidence missing in this sentence.

"Brother You Ji..." Xiao Jiao turned around suddenly, raised her head slightly to look at You Ji, her eyes were dark and deep.

"Is the one locked in the 'chrysalis' your sweetheart?"

You Ji was taken aback by Xiao Jiao's question, and after thinking for a while, he nodded heavily.

"If, I mean if, you can successfully rescue him this time..." Xiaojiao's voice became lower and lower as she asked softly, "Will you marry him as your bride?"

You Ji's face suddenly turned red, standing behind Xiao Jiao, he involuntarily clenched his fists and then loosened them.

Xiao Jiao turned his head to look at the candlestick on the table beside him, letting the flickering candlelight cast soft shadows on his face.

I don't know if there is no stock of white wax in the hotel today, but a red candle is actually lit.

"Yes." You Ji said.

When Xiaojiao heard this, an envious smile appeared on her lips, and she said softly: "It's so good..."

He took another deep look at You Ji from the mirror, opened his lips and said slowly: "Brother, I'm a little sleepy, let me sleep for a while."

"Yeah." You Ji nodded, led Xiao Jiao to the bed, watched him lie down, covered him with the quilt carefully, and carefully arranged the edge of the quilt, and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep, I'll go to the next door to discuss something with Jiang Xiao and the others, you can call me anytime."

"Okay." Xiaojiao responded obediently.

Just when You Ji turned around and was about to leave the room, Xiao Jiao called him to stop again.

"Brother You Ji..."

"Ok?"

Xiaojiao took a deep breath: "Yes."

"What?" You Ji frowned puzzled.

Xiaojiao smiled: "It's okay, you can go."

With a slight sound of closing the door, the room fell silent again.

The candlelight flickered, red tears fell, and in a blink of an eye they condensed into candles again.

Look, it looks like a bridal chamber candle.

……

Under the eaves, Qi Chi and Jiang Miao stood side by side in front of the steps, watching the rain fall silently.

Jiang Xiao brought the cigarette to his lips, and the fire lighted up briefly, making the slight sound of tobacco burning.

"What are you thinking?" Qi Chi asked in a low voice.

"The worst outcome." Jiang Xiao's eyes seemed to be smoked, and they were red.His voice was also a little hoarse from smoking too much.

"If..." Jiang Miao sighed again, "How to choose."

Qi Chi was silent for a while, and finally said calmly: "Without the human skin lantern, it is unknown whether the world in this picture scroll will still exist..." He paused, "So, you know what I want to say."

"But at least for now, he is a real person, isn't he?"

"It's the person who lives in the picture scroll." Qichi said, "But Ajiao can be reincarnated and truly live in the world..."

"You're really calm." Jiang Xiao smiled wryly.

"This doesn't sound like a compliment." Qi Chi frowned, and said with dark eyes, "But when the subject is in a dilemma, you can only judge objectively."

"There's nothing wrong with what you said." Jiang Xiao nodded, and then stifled the cigarette in his hand, "I'm a fucking person who is not objective. I am always whimsical, hoping that the world can run in the way I expect, the story It can happen according to my own mind, and I always feel that the ending can't have a fucking happy ending..."

Jiang Xiao smiled, "That's why I'm always disappointed. Disappointed, I don't know how to repent."

When Jiang Miao said this, Qi Chi had been watching him silently.

He didn't know, and it was precisely because of the presence of someone like him that he brought some expectations to everyone in this unsatisfactory world.

"Jiang Miao!"

Suddenly, You Ji's panicked voice came from behind.

"Xiao Jiao is gone!"
