femme fatale [unlimited]
Chapter 125
Ning Mianmian took a light breath, and tears came as soon as she said it, "Brother Xu, a weak girl like me is really afraid of these things. Who caught this person? What is the scourge?"
Xu Yang explained patiently: "Our village is blessed by spirits. Have you seen the mark on his neck? It's just that he was touched by an evil spirit after doing bad things. As long as there is such a mark, he will die within 5 minutes."
Ning Mianmian looked around, "Where is the evil spirit?"
Xu Yang said vaguely, "Well...it's hard to say."
Lin Cen looked at the person lying on the ground and asked, "Then what bad thing did he do?"
Xu Yang said, "I don't know about that either."
As soon as he finished speaking, a person hurriedly ran over from the path behind him.
It was a middle-aged woman, slightly chubby, wearing a flowered apron, her fingers were still stained with flour, she obviously ran out halfway through cooking.
As soon as she saw the dead man on the ground, she yelled, "Brother Lu, my God, it turned out to be him!"
Xu Yang asked her: "Sister Cao, what happened?"
Sister Cao ran so fast that beads oozed from her forehead. She wiped the back of her hand again, leaving some white traces of flour.
She sighed, leaned over to feel in the man's pocket on the ground, and took out a small object.
Ning Mianmian took a closer look, it was a silver earring.
Sister Cao said to everyone: "I was cooking in the kitchen just now when I heard movement in the living room. When I came out to look, I found that the silver earring on the desk was missing. I don't know who sneaked in and took it away. It’s gone. I’m going to chase it out quickly to have a look, and then I ran into you.”
She looked at the man on the ground with a regretful expression on her face, "Brother Lu is a good man, he was just confused for a while, it's a pity, a pity..."
Xu Yang said seriously: "Utopia can't tolerate people who do bad things, it's his own fault."
Sister Cao smiled, "That's right, I'm confused."
She rubbed the earrings on her clothes twice, put them in her pocket, and sighed: "There are too many people who have done bad things recently, the world is getting worse, and life is getting more and more difficult... Hey, I'll go back first, You have worked hard here."
Xu Yang waved his hand, "Small things should be done."
He directed several men to lift up the body and hurried to the back mountain.
This series of changes made Ning Mianmian feel unbelievable. According to Xu Yang and the others, Brother Lu stole Sister Cao's earrings because of a moment of confusion, and then he was condemned by God and died suddenly.
Although the act of stealing is not advisable, it is just an ordinary silver earring. Just for such a bad thing, you have to pay the price of your life, isn't it a bit overkill?
The strangest thing is that Brother Lu, as a villager, should know the rules of the village very well, why would he do such a thing?Xu Yang said that the village is rich in products, people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no shortage of food and drink.Moreover, they have personally experienced the mutual help among neighbors.
Ning Mianmian had no doubts at all, if Big Brother Lu said he was short of money or supplies, there would be a lot of people lined up to deliver them to him, so why risk his life?
She shared her thoughts with others, and she really got the unanimous support of her teammates.
Luo Fu added: "Generally people would be scared when they see a dead body, but Xu Yang and the others don't care at all. Sister Cao is also very skillful in touching the pockets of the dead body. It seems that this kind of thing happens often in the village, so that people are used to it. There was a big reaction. Sister Cao also said just now that this kind of thing has become more and more frequent recently."
She saw that Jiang Wan beside her hadn't spoken, and she was still frowning slightly, as if she was trying to perceive something.She suddenly worried, "Jiang Wan, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Jiang Wan came back to her senses, she looked at Luo Fu, rubbed her beautiful eyebrows with a little smile, "I just feel that the yin here seems to be a bit heavy, which makes me a little concerned."
Lin Cen said lightly, "I feel it too."
Lin Cen and Jiang Wan have always been very sensitive to the smell of ghosts. Whenever there are ghosts around, they will quickly notice them.So when the two said this, others also paid attention to it.
Rongrong shrank behind Yu Chuqing in fear, "But there is no one around now, it's broad daylight, is there a ghost?"
In fact, Ning Mianmian has never understood why Fluffy is not afraid of dungeon bosses, but afraid of ghost stories.Maybe it's because of the atmosphere.
Just like now, the bright sun hangs high, the road is empty, and the surroundings are eerily quiet.In addition, I don't know where the ghosts are hiding and what they look like, so I'm terrified when I think about it carefully.
She regained her composure, and said to Rongrong: "There are ghosts. Just now Xu Yang also said that the village is protected by spirits. Some people do bad things, and the evil spirits will touch their necks. It may be over, and they haven't left yet."
Fluffy: ...
Is this consolation?She was even more frightened now.
Yu Chuqing gave her a funny look, took out a few props from her backpack, and distributed them to others one by one.
Fluffy was the first to take it. It was a blue jade pendant with a cool luster, but it didn't feel as cold as imagined, but warm to the touch.
Yu Chuqing said: "This pendant is a tool for detecting spirits, which can sense the existence of evil spirits. It usually feels cold to the touch, but as long as there are evil spirits around, its temperature will rise. The more the number, the higher the temperature. the higher."
Fluffy said "Hey", but obediently hung the pendant around his neck.
Most of the evil spirits are transformed from the resentment of the dead. With so many evil spirits around, there must be many deaths in the village.
Fortunately, not all places have such a high concentration of evil spirits.After everyone walked a certain distance, the temperature of the jade pendant gradually dropped and became icy cold.
Several people walked around the village and found that the concentration of evil spirits in different locations in the village is different, and it is still flowing.In some places, the concentration was very high when passing through for the first time, but it dropped down when passing through for the second time.There was also a moment when the pendant didn't respond, and after a while it suddenly started to get hot.
They tried to explore the relationship between location, time, and the concentration of evil spirits, but in the end they found nothing, and there was no law at all.
Fluffy was very confused: "Why is this?"
Ning Mianmian thought for a while, "Evil spirits also need to be active, maybe they're just taking a walk."
Fluffy suddenly realized: "It makes sense."
Seeing the sun hanging high, it was noon.
Everyone decided to go back to their residence to eat something, rest for a while, and replenish their energy.
They haven't even drank their saliva since they entered the dungeon early in the morning, and they are already starving.
After Ning Mianmian returned to the room, she studied the stove first, lit the fire, and soon the room became hot.
Jiang Wan kept in mind the dishes ordered by everyone, first took two pieces of bacon to make claypot rice, then went to the chicken coop with a knife, and brought out a fat rooster.Ning Mianmian watched Jiang Wan skillfully kill chickens, drain blood, boil water and pluck hairs, her eyes almost stared straight.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan's cold and refined appearance turned out to be a hidden culinary master.
Love stayed with her the whole time, checking whether there was any problem with the ingredients by the way.
Fluffy covered her eyes and watched Jiang Wan chop the cleaned chicken into small pieces with a kitchen knife through her fingers, neatly and in one go.She murmured: "It's so brutal, it's like a crime scene..."
Love gave her a white look, "Then don't eat it later."
Fluffy pursed her lips, and wanted to say something, but was dragged away by Ning Mianmian, "Don't just know how to eat, fight with me."
A group of people were busy, and after a while, the aroma of food wafted from the small courtyard.
The aroma in the kitchen is stronger, and the three stoves are all burning fire, which is very warm.
Jiang Wan stood by the stove, her long hair rolled up, revealing her slender and elegant neck.She fiddled with the steaming chicken with a spatula and put the lid back on.
She turned her face and said to the onlookers: "Set the tableware, dinner can be served right away."
The kitchen has a cutlery set, clean and white, spotless and looks brand new.However, Ning Mianmian took out the dishes one by one and put them on a large tray, planning to rinse them again with well water.
Lin Cen took the tableware in his hand before he took the hot pot.
Lin Cen explained in a low voice: "The water is too cold."
She walked to the well with the tray, bent slightly, and fetched a bucket of water.
The sun fell on her silver hair, reflecting the magnificent color of satin.
Ning Mianmian suddenly felt very happy, she smirked twice, and walked over.
Lin Cen didn't let her touch it, "I'll do it myself."
Ning Mianmian insisted, "Let's go together."
Fluffy who witnessed the whole process: "What are you two dawdling about? I have washed it twice in this time!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there were two soft knocks on the courtyard door.
Fluffy's attention was attracted, so she let it go for the time being, shouting "Who is it", while jumping up and down to open the door.
Ning Mianmian thought it was the visiting villagers and ignored them, washing the tableware without raising her head.However, after the sound of the door opening, there was another fluffy exclamation, "You! Why are you!"
Fluffy's voice was so loud that not to mention Ning Mianmian and Lin Cen nearby, even the people in the living room could hear it clearly.
A few figures passed by quickly, and they arrived at the door in an instant.
Standing outside the door was a slender figure, she was wearing a large black robe with a hood, the brim of the hat covered her forehead, her eyes were hidden in the shadows, her long pink hair hung softly on her chest, she was as eye-catching as always.
Ling Fei raised her head, her light-colored eyes swayed slightly, "Everyone, stay safe."
Jiang Wan held the long sword, her eyes were gloomy, like the dark sky before the storm.
The black sword energy swept away, rolling up bursts of dust on the ground.
She said coldly: "How dare you come?"
Every time Jiang Wan saw Ling Fei, Jiang Wan would uncontrollably think of the unbearable past, the sticky dripping blood, and the body that slowly changed from warm and soft to cold and stiff in her arms.
She closed her eyes, feeling dizzy for a while.
"Why don't you dare?" Ling Fei stared at her and blinked innocently, "Miss Jiang Wan, do you want to kill me?"
Jiang Wan took a breath, then fell silent in frustration.
According to the settings of the current dungeon, stealing a silver earring would risk being punished by God, not to mention beating others up.Although I don't know what role Lingfei plays in Utopia, attacking the other party rashly will only be defined as "doing bad things", and it will hurt herself instead.
What's more, Lingfei has always been scheming, since she came here alone and acted so confidently, there must be some other tricks.If he shot at her impulsively, he might fall into the trap of the other party.
However, Ling Fei did not let her go because of Jiang Wan's silence, her eyes rolled and her tone was very cheerful, "Jiang Wan, your expression is exactly the same as when Xu Ning died."
Jiang Wan's expression changed in an instant, murderous aura filled his eyebrows and eyes, and the black sword aura also flourished accordingly.The ruby on the hilt was so bright that it was about to bleed, and the skin on her wrist was even crimson.
"Lingfei." She gritted her teeth, and paused every word, "How long do you think you can be happy?"
Love frowned, reached out and stroked her back gently.
Then she looked at Lingfei, and said calmly, "You came here specially, not just to talk nonsense?"
Love has always been gentle on weekdays, and rarely confronts anyone like this.But now once it cools down, there is an amazing sense of oppression.It's as if a river of spring water has frozen into ice, the coldness that rots the heart and bones.
Lingfei smiled softly, as if very satisfied with the other party's reaction.
She said: "President Love, don't be so angry, I'm just here to deliver a mission."
Xu Yang explained patiently: "Our village is blessed by spirits. Have you seen the mark on his neck? It's just that he was touched by an evil spirit after doing bad things. As long as there is such a mark, he will die within 5 minutes."
Ning Mianmian looked around, "Where is the evil spirit?"
