femme fatale [unlimited]

Ning Mianmian lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. It looked like an ordinary copper coin with a round sky and a circle of words she couldn't understand printed on the side.

She fiddled with the copper coin with the tip of the crossbow, and leaned over to observe carefully for a few seconds, but found nothing abnormal, and the weapon did not give any danger signal.

So Ning Mianmian picked up the copper coin and put it in the palm of her hand, feeling icy cold to the touch.

She threw the key into her backpack, and a system prompt popped up:

[Congratulations on obtaining the item [Key to the Market]. 】

[[The Key of Return to the Market] is a special prop, each person can only get it once, and it is not transferable. 】

Ning Mianmian moved slightly, and checked the item description of the copper coin in the backpack:

If the way home is hell, are you still willing to go?

A sentence with no clear meaning.

The way home is hell, does it mean that the way out is full of risks?

She asked the woman in front of her, "Ask you a question."

Women have a strong desire to survive, so they are naturally very cooperative, "Say it."

Ning Mianmian said: "The way home is hell, have you heard of it?"

The woman nodded again and again, "I heard people in the village say that this is an old saying, and it literally means it. People in this village seem to generally believe that if you leave the village, you will be severely punished, and it is better to stay here and mess around." day."

Ning Mianmian asked again: "Then how to use this key?"

The woman said: "I don't know about that. I also picked up this copper coin by accident. It greatly increased my strength, so I kept it for myself."

Seeing that Ning Mianmian was frowning and thinking, she thought that the other party was dissatisfied, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not lying, I heard about the keys from the villagers when I was with them, if the information is wrong, it's their nonsense , has nothing to do with me. I don’t come to the village often, and I don’t know about other things..."

Ning Mianmian interrupted her, "What happened to the cemetery? Are there people who died in the village there? What does it have to do with you?"

The woman quickly waved her hand and said: "I don't know, it has nothing to do with me. After I got the key, my strength increased, and I discovered such a place, and I can drag humans into it. Before, as long as someone touched his tombstone, It will turn into bones, and the yang energy will be absorbed by me. But now that I don’t have the key, I can’t do it anymore.”

Seeing that the woman panicked, Ning Mianmian didn't seem to be lying, and there was nothing logical about the information she had given so far.

Holding the crossbow, she ordered, "If you know anything about the village, tell me."

The woman said in horror: "I don't know the rest, I really don't know. You let me go, I will never come here again, okay?"

In normal times, Ning Mianmian would definitely kill the ghosts to eliminate harm for the people, but thinking of all the schemes the villagers had against them, she couldn't tell right from wrong.After a little thought, she simply raised her hand and loosened the woman's rope.The woman was taken aback for a moment, and immediately ran away rolling and crawling.

Ning Mianmian held the weapon and wandered aimlessly in the village.She didn't encounter any supernatural events along the way, but just cleaned up a few lonely ghosts without long eyes.

She also met a few groups of tired-looking villagers who wanted to inquire about information, but when their eyes met, the other party immediately turned their heads away and left in a hurry.

Since the villagers deliberately avoided outsiders, they might not be able to find any valuable information.So Ning Mianmian temporarily gave up this idea.

After a brief contact with the villagers, she made a new discovery.Most of the people in the village are young people. Middle-aged people like Wang Song and the village head are already old, and she has hardly seen them.

And for some reason, she always felt that these groups of people didn't seem to be related by blood, and they looked at each other coldly.

However, under such conditions, it is true that young people are more likely to survive, and long-term torture will make people numb, which seems to be barely reasonable...

When passing a certain corner, a slender figure suddenly appeared in the fog ahead.

Ning Mianmian was startled, then immediately ran up, "Sister!"

The moment she met Lin Cen, she realized that there was no need for secret signs between her and Lin Cen.

Even if Lin Cen just stood there quietly, she could still recognize her lover from the other person's eyes and movements.

The tacit understanding of getting along day and night is indelible and cannot be ignored, just like she can immediately detect something wrong with Fluffy, just like she can immediately identify the person in front of her as Lin Cen.

The corners of Lin Cen's lips curled up slightly, and he stretched out his hand to hold her, "You're not hurt."

"I'm fine." The warmth from her palm remained the same as before, Ning Mianmian looked at her and smiled, her heart suddenly settled down, "Did you see Fluffy?"

Lin Cen shook his head, paused, and said, "Don't worry, with the level of ghosts here, she can't be hurt."

The two chatted in a low voice while walking, and Ning Mianmian focused on what happened just now, especially about Ding Mei and the key.

She frowned and said: "There are villagers' names in that cemetery, so I think it is linked to real information, and it cannot be unrelated. But if all the people in the cemetery were people who died in the village, the number would be too large." too much."

Most of the people on the tombstones were born between 70-00, but how can such a small village accommodate so many people?

Lin Cen said, "It's fine if you die quickly enough."

Ning Mianmian's back suddenly felt cold, she said: "But the population is not mobile..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly realized the problem, "If the dead are all outsiders, then it makes sense. New people in the village keep coming in, and then die quickly, and gradually accumulate into such a cemetery."

Sure enough, the villagers harbored ill intentions towards them, but in this case, why did Wang Song deliberately help them in some matters, just ignore them.

If you take the initiative to help... either there is a plan, or the time has not come.

Lin Cen took out a copper coin that was exactly the same as Ning Mianmian from his backpack, and said that he also got the [Key of Return to the Ruins] from the ghost, and the text on the item description was also the same.

——If the way home is hell, are you still willing to go there?

But Lin Cen also failed to know how to use the key. She stroked the copper coin with her fingertips and said calmly, "However, the ghost I met said something valuable."

"He has heard people in the village advise newcomers not to think about going out. You may live longer if you stay in the village, but if you insist on leaving, there is only one dead end."

Ning Mianmian was silent for a moment, then said, "When it comes to hell, it must have something to do with those two people."

She knew it must be difficult to get out, because so far, they haven't found any information related to Bei Li and Ling Fei.

But she also knew that they would definitely come.

***

Fluffy flicked the scimitar vigorously, and blood beads rolled down the tip of the knife, sinking into the mud silently.

She squatted down, rummaged through the bloody ghost corpses without hesitation, and picked up the copper coin that glowed with simplicity and brilliance.

She wiped off the blood on the surface of the copper coin with her fingertips, and frowned slightly as she looked at the instructions that popped up on the game panel.

The way home is hell... what do you mean?

At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded in the white mist behind him.

One sound, one sound, slowly, showing the other party's composure.

Fluffy's eyes changed, and she immediately turned around, with the scimitar horizontally in front of her, in a defensive posture.

Standing in the mist was a slender man with a handsome appearance, with his hands in his pockets, looking at her with a half-smile.

Although the opponent didn't show any aggressiveness and his behavior was relaxed, Fluffy still keenly sensed the danger.

It was a kind of danger that killed people like hemp and didn't take life seriously.

In her former country, there were many such people.

She doesn't like it.

Seeing her face full of guard, the man did not move on.

He smiled lightly and said, "Alone?"

Fluffy asked back, "Who are you?"

She didn't expect the other party to answer well, but she didn't expect the other party to say a name directly, "My name is Xu Si."

The man casually pulled his hand out of his pocket. The tattoo of thorns on his wrist was clearly visible, and there were blood spots that hadn't been wiped off beside him. "Your companion, you should have mentioned me to you."

After all, without waiting for Rongrong's answer, he bent down and looked at the fragmented corpse, then looked up at her with interest, "You did this?"

Suede looked at him expressionlessly, "It has nothing to do with you."

According to the previous descriptions of his teammates, Xu Si is somewhat of a psychopath.When we meet now, we really live up to our reputation.But she wasn't afraid, if the other party did something, it would be because he was beyond his control.

After finishing speaking, Rongrong was about to leave, but Xu Si's next words made her stop again.

He said: "A word of advice, just throw away the key."

Fluffy's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at him, "Why?"

Xu Si said: "Because I have seen their end. There is no way back. If you set foot on the way home, you will die, without exception."

Fluffy examines his face, the other party's expression is flat, it doesn't look like he is lying.

She said slowly, "Why are you telling me this?"

Xu Si laughed and pointed to the appalling ghost corpse on the ground, "I just think that the two of us may be the same kind of people and we can make friends."

Fluffy said flatly: "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"In your residence, in the bedroom on the second floor, there must be such a big cabinet."

Xu Si compared it casually, "It's a bit old, dark brown, with a copper ring on the gate."

Fluffy certainly remembered the cabinet, in Ning Mianmian's room, it looked ordinary, but there were many nail scratches on the inner wall, and there were broken nails embedded in it.

If they guessed correctly, there was once a woman who was imprisoned in the prison and tortured to death, that's why she accumulated so much resentment, and there was no peace after her death.

Looking at the faint smile in Xu Si's eyes, she seemed to have guessed something.But she didn't speak, just waiting for the other party to continue talking.

"I locked her in there for seven days."

Xu Si took two steps in her direction and lowered his voice, "I lived in that bedroom for the past seven days. It was quite noisy at first, but then it quieted down."

Fluffy felt nauseous for a while, but she still forcibly controlled her expression and didn't show any clues.

She said, "And then?"

Xu Si seemed to be inspired by something, and continued: "It's boring to watch her time, so I also killed other people in the house to send loneliness."

Thinking of those shocking marks in the bedroom, Fluffy was filled with disgust, and frowned unconsciously.

Xu Si turned a blind eye and looked at her with a smile: "I don't force anything, but if you change your mind in a few days, you can come to me at any time."
