Chapter 1116: Forbidden Land of Purgatory
The bright moon hangs high above the quiet valley, and the cold moonlight is projected on the cliffs on both sides. A narrow mountain crack is permeated with watery moonlight.
This is a dark night, and it is also the entrance to the screen world.
A straight and steep mountain crack is like the devil's narrowed eyes. Walking through here is the only passage, but it will lead to a deeper horror.
A group of six people squatted on one side of the bottom of the mountain and witnessed the first group of people passing through the crack and disappearing in front of them.
The first group to enter the mountain crack was the ninth branch, Gu Xingjian and Huang Banxian.
With the moonlight, it can be seen that the two people have a calm face and calm steps, as if they have already made some considerations.
And following closely behind are the other two people.
They are one in front and one behind, one fast and one slow.
The one who is in a hurry is Xu Nan. He is very fast and keeps a distance from the store manager behind him. It doesn't look like they are moving together.
Xu Nan is more like following Gu Xingjian and Huang Banxian, for fear of losing them.
The slow one is naturally Li Yi.
The iconic Zhongshan suit left a black afterimage in the night, and calmly and leisurely passed through the mountain gap.
On the surface, it was impossible to tell what Li Yi was thinking, whether he was confident or just didn't care.
But before disappearing, the black crow on his shoulder suddenly looked back, staring at the side of the bottom of the mountain with eyes shining with red light.
At the side of the bottom of the mountain, there were six people watching the two groups of people leave.
The second branch, Su Chenghe, Wang Dachu;
The fifth branch, Li Guanqi, Lu Caiwei;
The eighth branch, Huangfu Jiajia, Li Mochou.
Even in the dark, Su Chenghe's too handsome face is still so dazzling, but now it is full of sorrow.
He pointed to the map placed between the six people and analyzed in a deep voice:
"This mission is definitely not for us to really use stupid methods to risk our lives to test the route.
I suspect that the location of Ru Ru's mother should be roughly determined through the existing clues."
Wang Dachui habitually stood behind Su Chenghe like a bodyguard, and his large figure almost completely covered him.
He knew that his brain was not good enough, so he always positioned himself on "defense" and was always alert to his surroundings during the discussion stage.
Huangfu Jiajia did not speak after hearing this, but looked at the slightly nervous young girl next to him.
The girl still looked very nervous, holding the corner of her clothes tightly, her face flushed, and after feeling the manager's gaze, she hesitated and said:
"I think if you want to determine the location of Ru Ru's mother, you may not have to search step by step."
"Hmm?"
Su Chenghe looked at the strange girl with interest, and then aimed his eyes at Huangfu Jiajia.
Huangfu Jiajia smiled softly and introduced to several people:
"Li Mochou, the name is easy to remember, it is the character in the martial arts novel, and the characters are the same.
But our Mochou is very well-behaved. Although she has little mission experience, she has a great mind and can always grasp the key points.
There is no point in saying more. Since everyone cooperates, you will understand it later."
Li Mochou is indeed a very well-behaved girl. When she was introduced by Huangfu Jiajia 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.
It's either a ghost, a person, or a corpse.
But the white-haired old ghost described her as - 'hiding place', which means Ruru's mother is hiding.
Judging from this point, I think Ruru's mother may not be a ghost in this store manager mission, so she has to hide.
In this case, we should find a way to force her not to hide anymore, instead of looking for her aimlessly."
Li Mochou grew up in a single-parent family and 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 a lot, which can be seen from the name "Mochou".
But her normal personality in the real world is not adapted to the environment of Tianhai Hotel.
This is also the main reason why she has such a good idea of looking at problems, but has never really grown up.
If Bao An had not died in the fifth store manager mission, perhaps Huangfu Jiajia would never bring her here in her life.
But no matter what, Li Mochou did provide everyone with a new idea, and it was very reasonable.
This point was recognized by everyone, including Li Guanqi.
"Miss Li's idea is very good. The method of forcing Ru Ru's mother to show up is our best solution.
But before that, I want to ask everyone a question."
Li Guanqi was wearing a very interesting outfit today. It was a white long gown in the style of the Republic of China, just like the outfit of a scholar in a TV series.
On the chest of this long gown, there was an embroidered white dragon pattern that spread all the way to the lower shirt.
When the sporadic moonlight flowed through the long gown, the dragon pattern faintly emitted a strange glimmer.
This kind of clothing is obviously not suitable for the mission, but since he wore it, there is a reason after all.
Su Chenghe and Huangfu Jiajia immediately locked their eyes on him, especially since he was already dazzling today.
Li Guanqi looked at the people beside him, 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 upwards.
This is the sign of the Yin body.
When this black line spreads all the way to the heart, it means his death date.
The Yin body is a very unique situation.
It can be counted as the impact of the store manager's mission. In the first four missions, the store manager's death will be returned to the original branch without injury.
There is no worry about life, but there is an additional Yin body effect - it is easier to come into contact with the spirit.
In fact, from the current point of view, the harm of the Yin body is not obvious, and it is 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.
At the beginning, he was in a state of death, but before the backlash of the sin object and the attack of the ghost began, the Yin body suddenly broke out before the spirit, without warning.
From this point of view, the Yin body seems to be a more powerful force that is superior to the spirit.
But 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 everyone also knows that Tianhai can't set such a rule for no reason.
The harm of the Yin body is likely to be far beyond their imagination.
Li Guanqi has not died yet, but he knows that Su Chenghe and Huangfu Jiajia have died twice, and their Yin bodies are about to mature.
Faced with this unknown horror, everyone desperately fights for the puzzle pieces to erase the Yin body.
And now, in the sixth store manager mission, the appearance of the fourth puzzle piece has put the matter of the Yin body 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 about the death issue of this store manager mission.
The answer is that in this mission, death is real death, which is consistent with the rules of ordinary reception 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 the puzzle in a store manager mission of "real death"? "
The store manager mission can be abandoned.
As long as others find Ru Ru's mother, the rest will automatically leave, but they will also miss the precious puzzle competition times.
Now it has reached the sixth time, the penultimate store manager mission in principle, and each piece of the puzzle is precious.
But there is only one life.
What lies before Su Chenghe and Huangfu Jiajia is a difficult choice -
Whether to fight with this only life, or to save their lives for the time being, delay the outbreak of the Yin body, and continue to lie dormant.
Li Guanqi's eyes are as calm as water. He is waiting for the decision of the two, and at the same time thinking about how to choose.
The valley with clear wind and bright moon, a silent screen world, does not look dangerous now.
But because of Li Congrong, Li Guanqi may know better than everyone how terrible this place is.
Especially when Su and Huangfu make a decision, what kind of terrible purgatory will the next screen world become.
It will become a purgatory forbidden land that living people should not set foot in!
