femme fatale [unlimited]

It was five o'clock in the afternoon when Ning Mianmian woke up.She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open for a while, and didn't get up to pour herself a glass of water until her thoughts regained clarity.

Lin Cen didn't know when he left, probably because he didn't want to wake her up, so he went to study the clues alone.She reached out and touched the quilt beside her. It was cold and there was no heat left.

According to the village chief, on the night after getting the [Key of Return to the Ruins], during the fight against ghosts, a progress bar representing the evil spirit value will appear on the game panel.

Killing ghosts will increase the evil spirit value, and if the evil spirit value is full, you can open the entrance of the way home, and you can enter with the key.

So they spent a lot of time studying the record book during the day, trying to sum up the rules in it.

But everyone soon discovered that apart from the tragic death of the corpses, there was no rule at all.

Then there is the sentence Yu Bing mentioned before his death, you can't trust anyone.

Thinking of this, Ning Mianmian's eyes darkened.

Yu Bing went home with his two right-hand men, so there are two possible meanings of this sentence.

First, Yu Bing met a ghost disguised as an assistant and fell into a trap.

Second, Yu Bing's assistant betrayed him.

And as a person on the master list, it is not possible to fail to recognize the assistant who is close to him, so the first possibility is very small.

If it is the second type, it is very thought-provoking.

When life and death become chips, many people will not be able to stand the test.It must have been a lot of pain to separate the three people who once fought side by side...

Ning Mianmian drank the water in the cup slowly, got up and went downstairs.

When she was walking on the stairs, she heard conversations downstairs. When she got to the place, she saw that other teammates had already got up. Seeing her going downstairs, they all looked over at her in unison.

Ning Mianmian saw that everyone's expressions were not very good-looking, even Fluffy, who usually loves to talk, was sitting on the stool with her head down, her mouth slightly pursed, and she looked like a listless little flower.

Ning Mianmian's heart sank immediately, "What's wrong?"

There was a moment of silence in the air, and then Love slowly said, "Jiang Wan's injury is not quite right."

Ning Mianmian looked at Jiang Wan subconsciously, but the other party didn't speak, but quietly rolled up her sleeves.

The black air scrambled out, and the whole forearm seemed to be covered by a layer of surging dark clouds, which looked terrifying.

Ning Mianmian asked in astonishment, "When... when did this happen?"

"After three o'clock, it was already like this when I woke up."

Jiang Wan shook Love's hand and replied calmly.She looked down at the arm and said in a low voice, "So I was thinking, should I just cut off this arm to stop it from spreading."

If the debuff can be successfully dispelled, it would be worthwhile to lose an arm.After all, this was done by Ling Fei, if it continues to develop, the price must be very heavy.

"It's best not." Lin Cen said, stopping her behavior, "Once Ling Fei decides what to do, she won't let it go easily. So I think, cutting off the arm so simply and roughly may not only not be able to dispel the debuff, It will also lose combat power in vain."

Love also persuaded: "It's okay, let's think of a way. The few props I tried just now are not very effective. You can find similar ones."

Seeing that the two insisted, Jiang Wan complied obediently, and continued to search for useful props in the backpack with the others.

Yu Chuqing's backpack was like a small shopping mall, with a lot of props in stock, and he found several healing props of the same type in a short while.

However, soon, disappointment appeared on the faces of everyone again.

When using the item for the first time, you can see that the concentration of black gas has decreased slightly, but when you use it for the second time, there is no response.

Love stared blankly at Jiang Wan's arm, feeling helpless for the first time in her life.

The return journey is inherently dangerous, and teamwork is very important if you want to escape successfully.The six of them have supported each other to this day. In terms of tacit understanding and cooperation, both are indispensable.

But before the game even started, Jiang Wan fell behind, which made her very dazed, very... at a loss.

Fluffy watched her face from the side, held back for a long time, and then whispered, "Are you okay?"

Love ignored her for the first time, bowed her head in silence for a long time before asking Lin Cen.

"In the dungeon, will there be unsolvable questions?"

"In theory, there is no, because the copy has its rules."

Lin Cen's tone was very slow, as if he couldn't bear to say this cruel fact, "But if you encounter a lunatic who wants to break the rules at all costs, it's hard to say."

***

At night, the wind blows in all directions.

The courtyard was silent, and after experiencing the ups and downs last night and this morning, no uninterested villagers came to bother them.

The stars above the dome gradually lit up, and blood-red rays of light flowed on them.But unlike yesterday, only one of the six stars lit up red tonight.

Ning Mianmian stood in the yard, looking up at the sky.The blood-red star was like a strange eye, silently watching her.As she thought about it, a strange emotion gradually surged in her heart.

She originally thought that tonight's difficulty should be at the same level, if not greater than yesterday's, but judging from the current situation, the difficulty suddenly dropped to the lowest level.This gave her a bad feeling.

Because since Lingfei is in this dungeon, she will definitely try to make things difficult for them.Just like the Hyakki Yaxing that I encountered yesterday, I am afraid it was also made by Ling Fei.

Now that the difficulty has dropped sharply, she doesn't feel that the other party has given up fighting them.

On the contrary, it was more like an invitation of some kind.

Ling Fei was inviting them to enter the Guixu.

For Ling Fei, the best result is that they died on the first night of the Hyakki Night Walk, and they didn't discover the weirdness of the village at all, and stayed in the village forever.

And after the villagers' conspiracy is exposed, it doesn't make much sense to embarrass them at night... Or, Ling Fei is very confident in "Return to the Market", so confident that they can't get out.

Ning Mianmian looked away, and the game panel popped out in front of her eyes.

[[Key of Return to Ruins] has been activated, and the current evil spirit value is 0%. 】

[When the evil spirit value reaches 100%, the entrance to the ruins will be opened, and players with the key can enter. 】

A blood-red progress bar appeared in the center of the panel, and the light on the frame was treacherous, like gurgling blood.

Two whimpers resembling wild beasts came from the gate of the courtyard, and then several black shadows rushed in with claws and teeth.

Ning Mianmian raised his hand, and the crossbow shot out through the air, piercing it straight through.

She ignored the dying ghost lying in a pool of blood, and looked down at the game panel.

Sure enough, the pointer on the progress bar moved forward a short distance, and the number displayed below also changed from 0% to 3%.

Ning Mianmian was slightly taken aback. She killed three ghosts in total just now, and she didn't expect such a big increase. It seems that accumulating evil spirit points is not a difficult thing, much easier than they imagined before.

However, after the difficulty is lowered, the number of ghost refreshes has obviously slowed down.Several people stayed in the yard for half an hour, and only killed more than 50 ghosts in total.

Fluffy couldn't help complaining: "Didn't it be said that gathering together will attract ghosts and ghosts? Why are you so slow?"

Ning Mianmian pondered: "Maybe the difficulty is too low, so the ghosts refresh too slowly."

Lin Cen suggested: "Spread out to spawn monsters first, and then gather when the number is almost up to the standard."

According to this trend, they still need five or six hours to complete the goal.The battle line is too long, I'm afraid the night will be long and the dream will be more.

Love glanced at Jiang Wan and said worriedly, "But don't go too far, it's just around here."

Jiang Wan smiled at her, and hid her injured arm behind her back, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Her wound showed no signs of improvement. Although she had treated it with various skills and advanced props, she still couldn't suppress the raging black energy.It's like a parasitic vine attached to the musculoskeletal, gloomy and cold, and can't get rid of it no matter what.

After they dispersed, there were a lot more ghosts that could attack.

Ning Mianmian walked around the area assigned to her, and quickly completed her goal.

The moment the pointer on the progress bar reaches 100%, the game panel pops up:

[The entrance to the Guixu will open in half an hour. Please take the [Key of Guixu] to the open space in the center of the village and get ready to enter. 】

[The entrance is only open for 5 minutes, please enter the players who need to enter on time. 】

Ning Mianmian took the key out of the backpack, a layer of dark red light lit up on the surface of the simple copper coin, like a red-hot soldering iron, but the touch from the palm was icy cold, without a trace of warmth.

The six people arrived at their destination almost at the same time.

In the open space in the middle of the village, a huge black vortex appeared out of thin air.The vortex was surging, and strands of blood-colored light flowed in it.Like a silent monster, with its bloody mouth wide open, it patiently waits for its prey to take the bait.

Yu Chuqing said, "Let's go."

After all, she was the first to step into the vortex, her figure was like a stone falling into deep water, it was swallowed by it in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.

Fluffy followed closely behind her and entered together.Followed by Love, she took Jiang Wan's hand and walked in one after the other.

Love successfully entered the Guixu, but when Jiang Wan's fingertips touched the entrance of the Guixu, she seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, and her body was directly knocked out.

It was an irresistible force, and Jiang Wan's body uncontrollably rolled twice on the ground before slowly standing up.

Ning Mianmian stepped forward in shock, reaching out to help her, "Jiang Wan, you..."

Jiang Wan didn't touch her outstretched arm, brushed off the dust from her body, and looked over with a calm expression.

"Sorry, I can't seem to move on," she said.

Ever since she was injured, she had a faint uneasiness.

But just now, her anxiety became a reality.

When the evil spirit value reached 100%, Jiang Wan took out the [Key of Return to the Ruins] from her backpack according to the requirements on the game panel, but the moment she touched the copper coin, there was a black air on her arm Like a poisonous snake, copper coins were wrapped around them neatly.

She watched helplessly as the copper money in her hand turned into a round white paper money, and then burned up in the black air, turning into a wisp of smoke.

The heart fell into the abyss in an instant, making her breathless.

[Key of Return to the Ruins] can only be obtained once, and cannot be transferred to others.

At that time, Jiang Wan realized that he could not enter Guixu with his companions.

But she had no time to grieve, nor could she grieve yet.Before that, she had to perform the scene well in front of Love.If Love had known, she would have insisted on staying with her in the village, but she didn't want that.

Love is a delicate flower in a greenhouse, born to bask in the sun and enjoy the warm love from the world.And she is just a ray of wind blowing over the petals, willing to stay for it, but does not want to take her away selfishly.

When this moment really came, Jiang Wan found herself unexpectedly calm.

When people are in excessive heartache, hysteria becomes a luxury.Her heart seemed to have turned into a vast white snowfield, boundless, only numbly cold.

"Let's go, time is running out."

Jiang Wan raised her eyes and spoke calmly.

The black long sword sensed the master's emotions, and the sword energy surged, making sad low sounds.The ruby ​​on the hilt shone like a weeping eye.

She slowly raised her hand and put the long sword in Ning Mianmian's hand, "Protect her."
