This Damned Thirst for Survival

Hearing this, Jiang Luo was a little surprised. He looked Chi You up and down, and suddenly the corners of his eyes raised, and he started to smile.

"You wouldn't be..."

Halfway through the words, the black-haired young man swallowed them deliberately, and stopped talking, Chi You asked calmly, "What?"

Jiang Luo smiled inexplicably, and he swept Chi You slightly provocatively and playfully, then turned around and said, "I don't need it, after all, I don't need to see my elders."

Chi You's face remained unchanged, "Okay."

But when he glanced at Jiang Luo's neck from the corner of his eye, he was slightly disappointed.

He didn't realize anything, nor did he understand anything.It was just instinct that drove him, making Chi You want to give back such a numb and weird feeling, and imprint a little red on Jiang Luo's neck.

After all, come and go, indecent?

Jiang Luo was originally very slow in this kind of matter. To say that he was slow, it would be better to say that he disdained to respond to those who had different thoughts about him, so he never took other people's thoughts into his eyes.But after the time when Chi You had a desire for him outside the mirror, he was extremely sensitive to Chi You's emotional changes.

God...

Didn't Chi You think that way about him when he was a teenager?

Once a stranger and twice acquainted, the first time Jiang Luo was unbelievably angry and disgusted, but now his mood has become extremely weird.

On the contrary, playfulness prevailed, and the faint complacency and the pleasure of stepping on the desire of the evil spirit took the lead. Unexpectedly, I did not expect that no matter what period Chi You was, no matter whether he was alive or dead, he was completely different. Chi You fell on Jiang Luo's body together.

Such a scheming and powerful person in charge of the Chi family, an evil ghost with unpredictable strength, hypocritical and indifferent personality, and the desire to rule and suspicion often play with others.He had countless followers, but he fell over Jiang Luo again and again.

This simply made Jiang Luo's mood soar, and he even felt like he was controlling the evil spirit.

When he first transmigrated into this world, Chi You wanted to kill him, but now?

Ah.

Jiang Luo kept smiling, he glanced at Chi You behind him from the corner of his eye, squinted his eyes and sighed.

Now he is very eager to find an opportunity to verify his conjecture immediately.If everything is true, after leaving the mirror world, Jiang Luo will have the capital to laugh at Chi You again.

After thinking about it, Jiang Luo was happy.He kept a very happy mood and went all the way back to Chi's house.

Under an old tree inside the gate of the Chi family, two people were anxiously waiting for Jiang Luo to return.

As Qin Yun walked back and forth, her hands were tightly held together, and a large piece of bright red nail polish was buckled off in an irregular shape.Qin Yun's voice was trembling, and the unconcealable fear was revealed in it, "Why hasn't Jiang Luo come back yet? What should I do, it's getting dark..."

Waiting with her was Lian Xue, Lian Xue's pale lips were tightly pursed, and she occasionally cast worried eyes towards the gate of the house, and she also looked like she was holding back her anxiety.

She was a little calmer than Qin Yun, and cheered up to comfort her: "It's okay, they will definitely come back, probably soon."

Qin Yun's footsteps stopped abruptly. She looked at the willow tree beside her, with sweat dripping from the top of her head. When she looked closely, she could see a dazed expression, "Lian Xue, Duanzi died! How could he die? He died so badly! It’s over... The evil spirit must be eyeing us. He knows we are here to kill him, so he plans to act first. After Duan Zi dies, it will be us, Du Ge, Li Xiao, And me... You are familiar with Jiang Luo, but we are different, Jiang Luo is so powerful, we are just ordinary people, if Jiang Luo doesn't care about us, some of us will die tonight—Lian Xue, I I really don’t want to die, I, I’m still so young…”

She spoke incoherently and panicked.

Lian Xue smiled wryly, "Who wants to die?"

Qin Yun suddenly fell silent. She walked up to Lian Xue and held Lian Xue's hand, with expectation in her eyes, "Lian Xue, you are familiar with Jiang Luo, please ask him to protect us, okay? ? Tell him to kill the evil spirit and take us home, okay?"

Lian Xue frowned, she patted Lian Xue's hand, "Qin Yun, we can't put all our hopes on Senior Brother Jiang Luo."

She tried her best to use a tactful tone: "We are victims, and senior brother is also a victim. A total of eight of us have entered the mirror world. We can't just hide every day and let senior brother do everything alone." No matter how hard the able man works, he cannot be allowed to take the lives of all of us.”

After finishing speaking, she sighed slightly and couldn't help but said, "It would be great if Zhong Qiu was here."

The Lian family is a family of witch doctors, and witch doctor skills are the most important thing. When it was their turn, the elders were afraid that they would be distracted, and they didn't teach them anything other than witch doctors.According to the words of the elders, as long as the doctors are skilled enough, everyone will come to protect their lives.Lian Xue seldom went down the mountain. When these things didn't happen, she felt that what the elders said was reasonable, and she didn't think there were any disadvantages.After all, the Lian family from the elders to the younger generation has no desires and no desires. To put it bluntly, they are happy with the situation and don't care about gains and losses.But something will happen, and Lian Xue secretly feels something is wrong.

If they are in danger, they only have medical skills. Although they can heal and save people, can they really save their lives?

Lian Xue remembered Daoist Weihe, isn't Daoist Weihe also proficient in metaphysics?

This contradicts what the elders said.After going out, she must ask Taoist Master Weihe this question.

They didn't have to wait long when there was noise from the gate.It was Jiang Luo and Chi You who came back.

Lian Xue and Qin Yun were overjoyed, but their identities were not suitable to step forward, so they stayed where they were, and waited for Jiang Hou to look over as a hint.

As soon as Qin Yun pulled a smile on his face, he saw the young master of the Chi family who walked in with Jiang Luo.The smile on her face froze in place. Qin Yun grabbed Lian Xue's hand, not daring to say anything: "Lian Xue, is that the owner of the wooden villa?!"

Lian Xue looked at Chi You, she shook her head calmly, "No, that's Chi You, the young master of the Chi family."

Qin Yun looked at Chi You in disbelief for a long while, "He, why does he look so similar to the owner of the wooden house?"

Lian Xue was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

Qin Yun turned his head sharply and said, "You know?"

Lian Xue was silent.

Qin Yun let go of Lian Xue's hand all of a sudden, and looked back at Jiang Luo. The joy in her eyes had faded, replaced by faint suspicion, "You know that the young master of the Chi family looks like the master, you guys Haven't told us yet. Could it be...you are the ones who let us enter this weird place?!"

Lian Xue said sharply, "How is that possible!"

"Then why don't you talk about it!" Qin Yun stepped back again and again, and she asked in a broken voice, "Maybe you also know the owner... I said how could it be such a coincidence that we were caught in a storm when we went up the mountain and happened to be rescued, so did you He happened to be rescued when he met a blizzard. The owner’s parents are so handsome, even more outstanding than a star. How could he meet such a person by such a coincidence? He is the owner outside the mirror, and he is also a young master in the mirror. He is so much younger. There is clearly some secret hidden here! What's more, Jiang Luo has that ghost trick that ordinary people will never be able to use... How could it be so coincidental that we all bumped into it? It must be you, you have long been with the wooden house The masters are in series with each other and prepared this one together, right!"

When a person is in a situation of extreme fear, the paranoia will be far higher than the usual level.Lian Xue could understand Qin Yun's fear. After all, they were helpless and ordinary people who knew nothing.But if Qin Yun was left to guess like this, the consequences would only become more serious.

She said: "Qin Yun, have you forgotten, it's the activity of looking in the mirror at midnight proposed by Duan Zi."

Qin Yun was taken aback for a moment. After thinking about it, it was indeed the order suggested by Duan Zi.It was Jiang Luo and the master who accepted the order.

It's a joke...

She recovered from the excitement just now, covered her face with sobs and said, "I'm sorry, Lian Xue...I'm so scared, I'm sorry..."

Lian Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to pat her on the back, "It's okay, we'll get together to discuss it tonight, the joke is dead, but we're not dead yet. We have to calm down before we can go out."

Qin Yun nodded silently.

When Lian Xue looked back at the gate, Jiang Luo and Chi You had already left.

It seems that they have to find another way to contact Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo and Chi You went back to the room, and ordered the servant girl to bring a plate of glutinous rice.

Glutinous rice can exorcise evil spirits and detoxify dead bodies.The white glutinous rice grains were placed on the plate, and Chi You took off his upper body clothes, "Please trouble Master Jiang."

Jiang Luo spread the glutinous rice evenly on his hands, wondering: "Master Chi, I don't know what to do."

Chi You explained it to him in detail, Jiang Luo frowned and nodded half-understanding.After Chi You sat down, although he looked hesitant, he quickly covered the wound on Chi You's neck with his hand.The moment the glutinous rice touched the wound, there was a "sizzling" sound of burning flesh, white smoke came out from both sides of the palm, Chi You closed his eyes, and was as quiet as a statue.

If it wasn't for the protruding veins on his neck, Jiang Luo thought he didn't feel anything.

"It's the first time I do this kind of thing, do you feel pain?" Jiang Luo asked.

Chi You smiled, "It's okay."

After a while, the white smoke gradually dissipated, and the intense burning sound of flesh gradually stopped.Jiang Luo let go of his hand, the glutinous rice grains in the palm of his hand that touched the wound had already turned black, and Chi You's wound was successfully removed from the corpse poison.

Chi You put on his clothes slowly, and said, "Although it's the first time Young Master Jiang has done this kind of thing, his technique is clean and neat, which shows that he has talent."

Jiang Luo said politely, "Praise, praise."

Chi You smiled, "Then, Young Master Jiang, I'll go see the elders first."

After Chi You left, Jiang Luo took care of the glutinous rice grains, and asked the maid to take the dishes away.When the maid took the plate away, she suddenly remembered something, and said to Jiang Luo: "Master Jiang, do you know where he put the clothes he wore last night? I wanted to wash them today, but I couldn't find them."

clothes?

Jiang Luo thought for a while, "Aren't you in the house?"

The servant girl said: "Without the permission of the young masters, we can't enter the house. In the past, the clothes that the young master took off were placed in the bathroom, but today I didn't see the clothes left by the young master in the bathroom."

Jiang Luo said: "I'll look for it."

He searched around the house and finally found a wooden barrel under the bed.Open it and see that the clothes Chi You wore yesterday are in it.Jiang Luo took out the clothes to have a look, and found a lot of mud spots and a few drops of blood under the hem.

It rained all night last night, and Chi You went out to do something, so it's normal for him to be stained with mud.But what about the blood?

Jiang Luo touched the blood thoughtfully, and after a while, he put the clothes back where they were, and said to the servant girl, "I didn't find it either."

When the maid left, Jiang Luo slowly frowned.

What did Chi You do last night?

"Brother..."

"Brother Jiang Luo..."

Jiang Luo was awakened from his thoughts by a thin voice. When he looked up, he saw a ball of paper rolling to his toes. When Jiang Luo saw that there was no one around, he bent down and picked up the paper. There are only three words in it: "the old place."

A quarter of an hour later, the rockery cave in the backyard.

When Jiang Luo came in, everyone had already arrived.Compared with yesterday, today's atmosphere is dignified.Duanzi's death shrouded everyone like a shadow, Li Xiao buried his head, his fists were clenched by his legs, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.Lian Bing's eyes were red and swollen, and he kept apologizing to Li Xiao, "I'm sorry, it's all me, if I could go out with him last night, he wouldn't have died..."

Except for Lian Bing, no one else was in the mood to speak.Seeing Jiang behind, Lian Qiang's eyes lit up, and he said hastily, "Senior brother, you didn't know you went out today, Duanzi—"

"I already know," Jiang Luo said, "I suspect that Duanzi hasn't really died yet."

Everyone stared blankly at him.Li Xiaoshuang rushed to Jiang Luo, his red eyes filled with hope and fear, "Really?"

Lian Bing also raised his head from his self-blame and guilt, he looked at Jiang Luo with hope, but he couldn't believe it, and said in a low voice: "But brother, I saw with my own eyes that they carried Duanzi's body into the car Sent away."

Jiang Luo nodded with certainty, "The death of the mirror world does not mean the death of the physical body."

In fact, Jiang Luo was just guessing, not sure that Duan Zi was really alive.

But in this case, if you don't say anything, I'm afraid the situation will get worse.

Even though Jiang Luo knew that he might have deceived everyone, he did not waver in the slightest.Because doing so is the best result for now.

As soon as the stagnant air loosened, Li Xiao whimpered and cried, Lian Xue handed the handkerchief to Li Xiao, and said with a smile: "That's great, Li Xiao, Duanzi is not dead."

Lian Bing also took a big breath, the guilt was removed, and he felt able to think again, "Then, we are not afraid of death anymore?"

Jiang Luo shook his head, "Even if the body will not die, but the mental state will also be affected, we still have to try our best to ensure that we will not be harmed... I already have some clues about evil spirits. When I was in Yizhuang, I not only watched When it came to the paragraph, I saw another beggar who was killed. From the beggar, I saw a picture of a ghost."

A few people cheered up, and Lian Xue asked, "Really, brother?"

Du Ge asked in a deep voice, "What does the evil spirit look like?"

Jiang Luo roughly described the appearance of the evil spirit.

"The face is covered by the black robe," Lian Qiang sighed, "In this case, we can't tell who is the evil spirit."

Lian Bing also sighed, turned around and took out the things he had prepared.A small bowl of rooster blood and a stack of yellow talismans, "Brother, I'm sorry, rooster blood is not easy to get, I can only find these."

Jiang Luo looked at the amount of the rooster's blood, "It's enough to draw a few talismans."

There are always many processes to be done when others draw symbols.Jiang Luo wasn't that troublesome. He raised his concentration and used his hand to write the pen, stained with chicken blood, and finished it on the talisman in one go.Almost without a break, Jiang Luo used up all the chicken blood.

It's just that there is very little chicken blood, and each person can barely give one, and there will be no more.

Several people solemnly put away the talisman close to their bodies, and finally put it back after carrying it for a day.Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Luo said, "I'm going back first. After you go back, don't go out of the room. If someone outside the door calls for help, just sleep with your head covered and don't care about anything else. This place is very evil, almost a big cloud Earth, anything evil can happen, so be careful."

When the others responded, Qin Yun said to Lian Xue and Li Xiao with some fear: "Let's sleep together tonight."

Lian Xue and Li Xiao both nodded.

Du Ge walked to the entrance of the cave, turned his head when he heard the words, and said to Qin Yun, "Qin Yun, come here, I have something to say to you."

After Jiang Luo returned to his room, Chi You hadn't come back yet.

He waited patiently for a while, the sky gradually darkened, the candles flickered, and Chi You walked into the door slowly after an unknown amount of time.

Under the candlelight, his complexion turned paler, but the corners of his lips were raised, and he appeared to be in a good mood.

There is only one pair of eyes, but they are as dark as an abyss, and there is a suppressed storm looming in it.

Jiang Luo asked tentatively, "You don't look comfortable."

Chi You smiled, "That's not true."

"Has your wound been seen?" Jiang Luo pointed to Chi You's neck, "What did they say?"

"They warned me to do less of these things, otherwise it would be bad for my health," Chi You smiled deeper, "Thanks to them, I also understand a lot of things."

After finishing speaking, he snorted and took his clothes, and invited, "Shall we take a bath together?"

Jiang Luo said: "Go."

The two walked side by side to the bathroom, Jiang Luo said: "Just now a maid came to look for your clothes that you changed yesterday, I found them under your bed, but they were stained with blood."

"Oh, that," Chi You suddenly realized, "That, it's the blood I accidentally touched during practice yesterday."

Jiang Luo: "Huh?"

"Rooster blood and black dog blood," Chi You said with a smile, "these things will have the effect of warding off evil spirits when used in cinnabar."

"So that's how it is," Jiang Luo nodded clearly, "Then why don't you let the maid do the washing?"

Chi You suddenly gave a strange laugh, and said, "You look a bit like my wife now."

Jiang Luo: "?"

Chi You said slowly: "Everything must be broken through the casserole and asked to the end."

"..." Jiang Luo secretly rolled his eyes.

After the conversation was over, they also walked to the shower room.The two entered the bathroom from left to right. Jiang Luo took out the talisman he wrote today and pasted it on the door, ready to take off his clothes.

Next door to him, Chi You was doing the same thing. He folded his clothes neatly and put them on the table and chairs.The curling mist covered his figure, and Chi You was humming a tune. On his pale back, ghost patterns were released from the three moles and slowly crawled up.

Climbed all the way to Chi You's shoulder, making the young man's handsome face look like a ghost.

Amidst the steaming water, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared, shivering in the corner of the wall, Chi You said slowly: "I asked you to go to the next door to scare him, why are you back?"

The ghost shadow was about to lie down on the ground, and it stammered: "My lord, there is an extremely powerful talisman on that door."

"Oh?" Chi You became a little interested, and he looked at the ghost, "How powerful is it?"

Ghosting swallowed, his body trembled even more violently, "If I forcefully break in, I, I may be lost..."

"Then go for it." Chi You smiled with high spirits, "Let me see if it will make you lose your mind."

Ghost Shadow trembled, "No, no, my lord, please forgive me, please—"

Chi You slowly smoothed out the last wrinkle on his clothes. The black mist on his body rose suddenly, approaching the ghost like the head of a beast. The black mist opened its bloody mouth, and it could swallow the ghost with just one mouthful. Belly, "Then tell me, is it scary to break through that door, or to be swallowed by me?"

Chi You turned his face sideways, darkness shrouded his brows and eyes, and the corners of his lips were raised, with a bit of deep oppression.

The ghost was silent for a moment, then said weakly: "Obey, my lord."

After the ghost disappeared, Chi You looked at the wall separating the two bathrooms, slowly raised his hand, and tapped his fingers on the wall.Cracks on the wall gradually formed, and a hole the size of a fingertip appeared on it.

"He's so weird," Chi You said to himself, "Where did you get the talisman? He really isn't an ordinary person."

Chi You murmured, "He also caused me to have some emotions that I have never experienced before. If it wasn't for sure that my consciousness was not bewitched or manipulated by the other party, I would have thought that he used some secret method to affect me."

"The Jiang family is ordinary, and his parents are also ordinary. Before this, I have never heard of the young master of the Jiang family having such a means," Chi You said, "Let me see who you are."

The wall was easily penetrated by his fingers.

Chi You looked calmly through the hole, and saw Jiang Luo clutching the hem of his shirt, looking in the direction of the bathroom door.Chi You followed his gaze.

A talisman was pasted on the wooden door, it was a suppressing talisman, but at the moment when the ghost hit the door, the talisman flashed golden light slightly, and it was still firmly attached to the door.

Chi You was thoughtful, he raised his hand, and a cloud of black ash wrapped in black mist came in front of him.

This was the last thing left of the ghost, and it was exactly as it said it was.

But even if its soul flew away, the talisman did not burn, and it could still be used.

Such a talisman, even the elders of the Chi family, might not be able to write it.

Chi You smiled, waved his hand lightly, and a row of trembling ghosts knelt down behind him, "My lord."

"You have followed me for a long time, and now it's time for you to serve me," Chi You said, "Go, break open that door, and let me see how powerful that talisman is."

"……Yes."

After all five ghosts were gone, they broke open the door.Chi You looked at the talisman that was finally burning, and waved his hand thoughtfully, making the other ashen-faced ghosts retreat.

He looked at Jiang Luo with a lot of meaning.

who are you.

Jiang Luo put down his clothes, walked over and closed the door, and gently drew a talisman on the door with his middle finger.But after turning around, Jiang Luo felt a familiar prying gaze.

Thick, deep, and goosebumps.

Jiang Luo raised the corners of his mouth silently, took off his shirt quickly, and his white back met Chi You's eyes.

Chi You withdrew his gaze, took a look in the bathtub, but couldn't hold back, and looked up to the opposite side again.At this time, Jiang Luo's hands were already on the waist of his trousers.

outside the mirror.

"The flow of time in the world in the mirror is different from that in the world outside the mirror," Ge Wuchen said respectfully, "Master, the world in the mirror cannot carry your power. If you force your way in, the world in the mirror will be destroyed, and it will trap Jiang Benefactor and others soul."

The window in the bedroom burst open suddenly, and the storm swept in with white snow and coldness.

Chi You sat on the sofa beside the bed. He leaned against the back of the sofa and looked at Ge Wuchen casually. After a while, he smiled with interest, "Is this what you have studied for two days?"

Under the overwhelming coercion, Ge Wuchen gritted his teeth and quickly finished the remaining few sentences, "But there are two other ways. First, you manipulate a person in the mirror world as a puppet. Second, you temporarily Separate a few wisps of consciousness, and briefly possess the person in the mirror world, without disturbing the people behind the scenes, test how much of your consciousness the mirror world can carry, and then make other calculations."

Chi You turned his head sideways, looking at Jiang Luo who was breathing steadily on the bed.After a moment of stagnation, he said to himself: "It sounds like none of them are very satisfying to me."

"Why do I have to go into the mirror world," he said, "It's boring, laborious, and meaningless."

But he who said these words has never left the villa in the past two days.

Ge Wuchen tentatively found a reason for him, and said: "You just want to know what the people behind the scenes want to do, and take countermeasures."

Chi You suddenly realized, "Yes."

His eyes moved away from Jiang Luo's body, and the irritability that had been suppressed for two days was poured out without any concealment, and he ordered: "Now, immediately. Use the second method, let me possess you in the place closest to Jiang Luo on people."

"Yes," Ge Wuchen said cautiously, "but Master, the second method is just to test the tolerance of the mirror world for you when you go in for the first time. The speed of entering the mirror world and coming out will be very fast. Just in case One, without shattering the world in the mirror, you'd better sneak into the world in the mirror with the least amount of consciousness."

"I see, move faster," Chi You tapped his fingers, he smiled high, and said in a long voice, "I can't hold back anymore."
