Hush!secret

"What is a monster? A monster?"

Gan Xiaoxiao asked while eating melon seeds, Chu Rui took away a plate of melon seeds: "Hey! What are you doing?"

"You've had enough, you can't eat more of this."

Shang Zhong took a sharp look at Chu Rui, why she was not even allowed to eat melon seeds, it was strange: "Everything has spirits, there are creatures that live for thousands of years, can manifest, have some abilities that ordinary people don't have, and monsters have no creatures. Most of them are transformed from human emotions, such as sadness, pain and resentment, when these emotions erupt, they strongly absorb the vitality of the world and turn them into monsters, and they also have powers that ordinary people do not have."

"Oh~" Gan Xiaoxiao was like a student listening to a class, and nodded when she understood, "By the way, how do you know? When she was in the dwarf village, Sister Zhao said that you are a businessman on the upper road, and you are not a descendant." A Taoist priest who slays demons!"

Shang Zhongli didn't speak.

Gan Xiaoxiao jumped up: "Are there really demons and ghosts in the world? Isn't it because we are in the game? Then are we in the game? Are there gods in the world? Have you seen them? How do you Taoists subdue demons and eliminate demons?" Huh? You're dressed so trendy, you don't look like a Taoist priest at all, do you want to go to school too?"

"You are so noisy!" Shang Zhongli rolled his eyes.

Gan Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, but her eyes wandered around and kept secretly looking at Shang Zhongli.

"What should we do now?" Shang Zhongli asked Chu Rui.

"Come here!" Chu Rui waved at Shang Zhongli.

Shang Zhongli frowned slightly, and under Gan Xiaoxiao's curious gaze, he walked up to Chu Rui and bent down.

"Do you think that monster is powerful?"

Shang Zhongli raised his left eyebrow: "It's half a catty."

"That's fine, then." Chu Rui raised his hand and put it on Shang Zhongli's shoulder. He was not tall enough, and he stood on tiptoe to get it together, "I'll leave it to you."

"What? You want me to kill Luo Haiji?"

Gan Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "What? Kill people?"

Chu Rui nodded secretly: "Yes, kill."

-

At the birthday banquet the next day, three people sat at the same table as last time. After they were seated, several people sat down around them one after another.

"There's a birthday party even if someone is dead." Gan Xiaoxiao muttered.

Chu Rui said to her: "I'm afraid it's a setting in the game. No matter what happens, this birthday party must be held. For Mrs. Luo, something must have happened on the day of the birthday party."

Gan Xiaoxiao lowered her head in fear, and a cold body sat beside her. She raised her head cautiously, "Zhou Xiyu? Where have you been?" She tugged on Zhou Xiyu's sleeve, and his face was as white as a wall. For any reaction, Gan Xiaoxiao glanced at him, and was surprised to see Sun Feng who had been burned to death in the fire. She looked carefully and found that the dead Huang Yi and Huang Shanshan were sitting next to Sun Feng!

She was about to scream, but Chu Rui covered her mouth and "silenced".

Chu Rui took a piece of alprazolam, Shang Zhongli asked him: "Are you nervous again?"

"Sitting around you are all dead people, you... are you not nervous?"

"Dead!" Gan Xiaoxiao moved the chair closer to Chu Rui, just wanting to stay away from Zhou Xiyu next to him, "Is Zhou Xiyu dead too?"

Chu Rui nodded, and glanced at Zhou Xiyu and the people in the hall. How did he find out that there were some people with hairstyles and appearances that were different from that era. Chu Rui guessed that they were all players who died tragically in the dungeon !

"Master Luo is here."

Sure enough, as if the boy's death hadn't happened yesterday, Master Luo entered the arena beaming just like last time, drinking and having fun with his tablemate, very happy, Chu Rui glanced at Shang Zhongli, Shang Zhongli understood, got up and walked to the master table position.

Chu Rui and Gan Xiaoxiao looked at each other, and were about to get up and leave, when suddenly a servant pressed their shoulders.

"Where are you going, guest, the banquet has just begun."

Chu Rui pinched Gan Xiaoxiao's arm in fright, and Gan Xiaoxiao pinched Chu Rui's arm back in fright. The two grinned in pain. At this moment, Shang Zhongli, who came to Luo Haiji's side, pulled out his long sword from his pouch Spicy fruit pierced Luo Haiji's chest decisively.

In an instant, as if the situation changed, all the surrounding scenes began to collapse, the walls of the hall began to mottle and gradually turn black, the beams collapsed, and the skins of the people in the hall began to fall off like statues, gradually turning into blackened skeletons fell to the ground.

Chu Rui looked back, and the servant holding their shoulders turned into a black torso. He hurriedly pushed him away, Gan Xiaoxiao screamed, and the two hurried out of the hall, preparing to find a place to hide first.

A black shadow rushed into the living room and rushed towards Shang Zhongli. Shang Zhongli raised his long sword to block the black shadow impartially. The long sword glowed red. The black shadow was scattered by the red light and formed a cloud of black mist, then gathered at a high speed and then flew out quickly. Shang Zhongli chased after him without fear, and the two quickly disappeared.

Chu Rui pulled Gan Xiaoxiao: "Follow. Follow!"

The direction they were going was West Garden, and Chu Rui and Gan Xiaoxiao followed.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the back garden, there was a rotten smell coming from inside. Chu Rui was palpitating and trembling all over. Gan Xiaoxiao beside him was also scared. He was a boy, so he fell down here. Chu Rui took out the pill Well, seven or eight pills were stuffed into his brain, he couldn't take more of this medicine, but he had no other way.

"Coward, are you alright! I...I'll protect you, you hide behind me!" Gan Xiaoxiao bravely pulled Chu Rui back. Chu Rui was sweating a lot, which made her flustered.

Chu Rui had a pale face, forced a smile and walked inside, Gan Xiaoxiao quickly followed after seeing this.

There are corpses all over the back garden. Most of the dead people are wearing fashionable modern clothes, and some clothes of different eras. Most of them, there are also some shirtless, only wearing trousers, and ragged cloth shoes.

"Look, coward!"

At the entrance of the stairs in the residential area, there was a man covered in burnt body. Judging from his position and shape, he should be Sun Feng. There was a corpse in the stairs with a huge blood hole in his chest, which looked like Zhou Xiyu.

Corpses are everywhere, on the stairs, in the burned houses, by the rockery, by the pool, and the hydrangea trees in the courtyard were burned to nothing but bare trunks, and countless corpses were piled up and under the trees.

Gan Xiaoxiao kept retching with nausea, and the two of them tried their best to move their attention away from the corpses and walked towards Xiyuan.

When they arrived, Shang Zhongli's long sword was touching Mrs. Luo on the ground, and the black shadow was shivering in her shadow.

"Kill her!" Gan Xiaoxiao said angrily.

Shang Zhongli curled his lips: "That's not okay, if you kill her, this dungeon will collapse, and the three of us won't even think about getting out."

So, is this the reason why Shang Zhongli is obviously capable but has not shown it?

Chu Rui glanced at her.

Gan Xiaoxiao: "However, she has killed so many people, even her own flesh and blood. Let her go like this!"

"No." Chu Rui said.

"What's not?"

The woman on the ground looked very embarrassed, with strands of broken hair scattered in front of her ears, she sat quietly on the ground, still with the same indifferent expression, with mourning in her eyes, Chu Rui suddenly felt that she was a little pitiful.

"One idiot and the other weak, the existence of these two children reminds her all the time that her love is not tolerated by the world. Be a monster!"

"Then you can't kill your own child!" Gan Xiaoxiao muttered, "Is human life worthless?"

Chu Rui: "To her, it's just someone who died a long time ago."

Gan Xiaoxiao: "Huh?"

"She trapped herself in the barrier, trying to destroy the fact that her siblings were in trouble countless times. I think she both loves Luo Haiji and hates Luo Haiji. I wonder why there was a reason for Luo Haiji's birthday party that day. There was a big fire and many people died. Didn’t you notice that since we entered the dungeon, every npc we met had no shadows, the second lady, the third young master, and those maidservants. But in Xiahe Village When the time comes, the npc has a shadow."

Gan Xiaoxiao suddenly realized: "So everything we see is actually illusory. They died a long time ago. The scene outside is real now, isn't it?"

Chu Rui nodded.

"Your life is worse than death every day, and you keep repeating evil obstacles, trapping yourself in an illusion, is this what you want?" Chu Rui mustered up the courage to glance at Shang Zhongli, and slowly walked towards Mrs. Luo.

"Luo Haiji later continued to have a son and two daughters."

Madam Luo raised her head, and for the first time there were waves in her eyes.

"He has you, but he doesn't love you that much."
