Chapter 1116 The Forbidden Land of Purgatory
The bright moon hangs high above the quiet valley, and the cold moonlight casts on the cliffs on both sides. A long and narrow mountain crevice is filled with water-like moonlight.
This is a dark night and the entrance to the screen world.
A straight and steep mountain crevice is like the devil's slightly narrowed eyes. Walking through it is the only passage, but it will lead to deeper horrors.
A group of six people squatted on one side of the mountain bottom and witnessed the first group of people passing through the gap and disappearing before their eyes.
The first group to enter the mountain crevice were the Ninth Branch, Gu Xingjian and Huang Banxian.
Through the moonlight, we can see that these two people have calm faces and calm steps, as if they have made certain considerations.
Following closely behind were two other people.
They moved in tandem, one in a hurry and the other in a slow motion.
The one who was in a hurry was Xu Nan. He was very fast and kept some distance from the store manager behind him. He didn't seem to be acting together.
Xu Nan seemed to be following Gu Xingjian and Huang Banxian for fear of losing them.
The slow one is naturally Li Yi.
The iconic Chinese tunic suit drew a black afterimage at night, passing through the cracks in the mountain calmly and calmly.
On the surface, it is impossible to tell Li Yi's inner thoughts. Is he confident or just indifferent.
But before disappearing, the black crow on his shoulder suddenly looked back, and with its shining red eyes, he stared viciously at the bottom and side of the mountain.
At the bottom and side of the mountain, there were six people watching the two groups of people leave.
The second branch, Su Chenghe, Wang Dachui;
The fifth store, Li Guanqi, Lu Caiwei;
The eighth branch, Huangfu Jiajia and Li Mochou.
Even in the dark side, Su Chenghe's overly handsome face was still so dazzling, but now it was full of sadness.
He pointed at the map placed among the six people and analyzed in a deep voice:
"This mission is definitely not for us to use stupid methods to test the route with our lives.
I suspect that Ruru’s mother’s location can be roughly determined based on existing clues. ”
Wang Dadui stood behind Su Chenghe like a bodyguard as usual, his broad figure almost covering him completely.
He knew that his mind was not clear enough, so he always placed his position on "defense" and was always vigilant during the discussion stage.
Huangfu Jiajia didn't speak when he heard the words, but looked at the young girl next to him who looked slightly nervous.
The girl still looked very nervous. She kept clutching the corner of her clothes and her face was rosy. After feeling the store manager's gaze, she hesitated and said:
"I think that if you want to determine the location of Ruru's mother, you may not find it step by step."
"Huh?"
Su Chenghe glanced at this strange girl with interest, and then turned his attention to Huangfu Jiajia.
Huangfu Jiajia smiled softly and introduced to several people:
"Li Mochou, the name is easy to remember. He is the character in the martial arts novels, and the words are the same.
But our Mochou is very well-behaved. Although he doesn’t have much experience in tasks, he has a great mind and can always grasp the key points.
It's useless to say more. If everyone cooperates, you will realize it later. ”
Li Mochou was indeed a very well-behaved girl. When Huangfu Jiajia introduced her in front of everyone, her face blushed even more.
So he immediately changed the subject and began to express his thoughts:
"If Ruru's mother is in the screen world, as you said before, she actually has a different form in each store manager mission.
Either a ghost, a human, or a corpse.
But the white-haired old ghost described her as a 'hiding place', which meant that Ruru's mother was hiding.
Judging from this point, I feel that in this store manager mission, Ruru’s mother may not be a ghost, so she has to hide.
In this case, we should find a way to force her to hide no longer, instead of searching aimlessly. ”
Li Mochou grew up in a single-parent family. She grew up with her mother since she was a child. She has a sensible and well-behaved personality.
Although she is a single parent, her mother cares about her very much, which is evident from the name "Mochou".
But her character, which is normal in the real world, does not adapt to the environment of Tianhai Hotel.
This is also the main reason why she has never really grown up even though she looks at problems so thoughtfully.
If Bao An hadn't died on his fifth store manager mission, perhaps Huangfu Jiajia would never have brought her here.
But no matter how you put it, Li Mochou did provide everyone with a brand new idea, and it was very reasonable.
This was recognized by everyone, including Li Guanqi. "Miss Li's idea is very good. The method of forcing Ruru's mother to show up is our best way to solve the problem.
But before that, I want to ask you a question. ”
Li Guanqi is wearing a rather interesting piece of clothing today. It is a white gown in the style of the Republic of China, just like the outfits worn by elegant scholars in TV dramas.
On the chest of this gown, there is an embroidered white dragon pattern that extends to the lower shirt.
When the sporadic moonlight flows through the gown, this dragon pattern faintly emits a strange shimmer.
This kind of clothing is obviously not suitable for performing tasks, but since he is wearing it, it makes sense after all.
Su Chenghe and Huangfu Jiajia immediately locked their eyes on him, especially since he was so outstanding today.
Li Guanqi looked at the people beside him, then slowly came to Su Chenghe's side and pulled up his sleeves with his hands.
When Su Chenghe's sleeves were pulled up, a straight black line appeared in the center of his wrist and spread upward.
This is the symbol of the yin body.
When this black line spreads all the way to his heart, it is tantamount to his death.
The Yin body is a very unique situation.
It can be counted as the impact of the store manager mission. In the first four missions, if the store manager dies, he will be sent back to the original branch without any injuries.
There is no worry about life, but there is an additional Yin body effect - it is easier to have contact with supernatural beings.
In fact, from the current point of view, the harm of the Yin body is not obvious, or even dispensable, but this is definitely not groundless.
In fact, regarding the Yin body, Xue Tinghai's ending seems to be able to confirm part of it.
He was in a state of death at the beginning, but before the sinful things came back and the ghost attacks started, the Yin body suddenly got ahead of the supernatural and erupted without any warning.
From this point of view, the Yin body seems to be a more powerful force than the supernatural force.
However, due to the uniqueness of Tiannan College, Xue Tinghai's information about the Yin body has been cleared along with his own erasure.
Therefore, everyone's knowledge of the Yin body is still zero.
But at the same time, everyone also knows that Tianhai cannot set such a rule for no reason.
The dangers of the Yin body are probably far beyond their imagination.
Li Guanqi has not died yet, but he knows that both Su Chenghe and Huangfu Jiajia have died twice, and their Yin bodies are about to be completed.
Faced with this unknown terror, everyone desperately fights for the puzzle pieces to erase the Yin body.
And now, with the sixth store manager mission and the emergence of the fourth puzzle piece, the issue of the vaginal body has been put on the table again.
Li Guanqi looked at Su Chenghe and Huangfu Jiajia and asked word by word:
"Jiajia asked the white-haired old ghost before about death in this store manager mission.
The answer is that in this mission, death is real death, which is consistent with the rules of ordinary pickup missions.
You have all died twice, and there is no resurrection of sin.
What I want to ask is, are you really ready to snatch puzzle pieces in a ‘really dead’ store manager mission? ”
The store manager task can be given up.
As long as others find Ruru's mother, the others will leave automatically, but they will also miss precious puzzle pieces.
Now it's the sixth, in principle, penultimate store manager mission, and every piece of the puzzle is precious.
But there is also only one life.
What lies before Su Chenghe and Huangfu Jiajia is a difficult choice——
Should he fight with his only life, or should he save his life temporarily, delay the outbreak of the Yin body, and continue to lie dormant?
Li Guanqi's eyes were as calm as water. He was waiting for the two of them to make a decision, and at the same time, he was thinking about how he should choose.
In the valley where the wind is clear and the moon is bright, a silent screen world does not look dangerous now.
But because of Li Congrong, Li Guanqi may know better than anyone else how terrifying this place is.
Especially after Su and Huangfu make their decision, what a terrifying purgatory the next screen world will become.
That will become a forbidden place of purgatory that no living person should ever set foot in!
