Chapter 220 Frog Hospital (Twenty) Conspiracy

"Our child, give the child back to me..."

The sharp voice was mixed with gurgling noises, like a mouthful of thick phlegm.

The footsteps of "Ta Da" and the sound of "tearing" of the umbilical cord across the ground are getting closer and closer, bringing with them a palpable chill.

Huang Xiaofei understood Qisi's operation and pointed at the spoon in Qisi's hand with a strange expression: "You call this a red frog?"

"It's almost as long as it can be used." Qis smiled and raised the dead baby in the spoon to her, "Human embryos and tadpoles look quite similar in appearance, don't they?"

That's what they say, but they are both used to attract ghosts. The skinned frog and the bloody dead baby give people completely different feelings.

Even in a dungeon, knowing that everything is a prop, most people still cannot treat corpses of the same kind and different kinds equally.

The nurturing instinct and convergence engraved in the group genes make them subconsciously love the cubs of the same kind, bury the corpses of the same kind, and fear the death of the same kind.

Qisi ignored the strange expressions of the players and half of his body had crossed the iron gate. He said in a matter-of-fact tone: "I'll lure the ghosts. You stop them and block them for a quarter of an hour before letting them go. Is that okay?"

Those who are capable work hard, and among the four of them, Huang Xiaofei is the only one who can fight, so there is nothing wrong with leaving her dead.

The woman nodded, consciously leaned into the corner, and a handful of paper figures appeared out of thin air in her hand, which would probably last for a while.

Sun Dekuan and Lu Zimo also crossed the threshold and walked into the thick fog behind the iron gate.

Coming here for the first time during the day, they might still be worried about the unknown ahead, but after Qisi fished out the dead baby from the iron bucket and attracted a large group of pregnant ghosts, passing through the iron gate and heading to the pond was the only option.

In just a few seconds, the leading female ghost has turned the corner, her black umbilical cord dancing wildly in the air, and her rotten arms stretching out in the direction of the player.

Qisi seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned back to the flat floor, walked to Huang Xiaofei in a few steps, and handed her a thin stack of paper.

Facing the latter's confused look, he said calmly: "You can pay attention to the content above. Since we have signed the contract, any news can be spread through paper."

More than a dozen female ghosts swarmed into the flat floor, and the strong rotten smell mixed with the smell of blood was overwhelming. The noisy voices could not be heard clearly, and they filled the cochlea with a thick and exciting sound.

Qisi no longer stayed, turned around and got out of the iron door again, plunging into layers of white mist.

Lu Zimo walked in front holding a lighter. The dim and fluttering flame could not illuminate the rich darkness, and he hung in front of him as a lonely beacon to guide the way.

Qisi and Sun Dekuan walked up the steps in the dark and turned the corner of the stairs relying on their memories from the day.

At a certain moment, the weak firelight merged into the same weak white light, the cold white moonlight splashed down from the top of the head, and a silver-white pond lay quietly in front of it.

It was already dark, the frogs had all rested, and the sound of insects could not even be heard in the silence.

When you get closer, you can only see a calm pool of water with bottomless gray-blue shadows. No tadpoles or frogs can be seen.

The stone statue of the Virgin is sitting on the stone platform in the center of the pool covered with moonlight, her eyes lowered into the void, not looking at the player.

The female ghosts were stopped at the door by Huang Xiaofei before they could come over.

Qisi held the long-handled ladle filled with the dead baby, turned his head to look at the stooped Lu Zimo, and smiled: "Now, let's talk about you and Huang Xiaofei."

When Sun Dekuan heard what he said without any end, he said "Ah" and finally managed not to interrupt.

Lu Zimo lowered his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "From the beginning of the dungeon to now, you should have noticed that I have been controlled by her from the beginning to the end. She puts her first in everything, and I have to deal with any inaccuracies. She tried and made mistakes. You may not know that after going out, I will hand over the props and points obtained from clearing the dungeon to her for safekeeping..."

Sun Dekuan clapped his hands: "I'm not saying this is too much, right? None of the major guilds carry this..."

Lu Zimo ignored him and continued: "The past few simple dungeons were okay. While she took the most advantage, she also gave me a hand like a charity and gave me some petty profits. But the dungeons only It will get harder and harder. There will always be times when she can’t take care of me, and when faced with a life-or-death crisis, she will definitely fill me in without hesitation.”

"I'm fed up with this kind of life of surviving under her fingers. Maybe she is more suitable for weird games than me. Without her, I would easily die in the dungeon, but life and death at least all depend on my own choice. No need Look at other people’s faces…”

As he spoke, the thin young man clenched his fists tightly and his shoulders shook slightly, as if he was suppressing anger.

Sun Dekuan didn't understand and asked: "Didn't you say she was your cousin at first? Is there anything we can't talk about... Hey, so what is your relationship?"

Lu Zimo was stunned for a second, and his face became even more sad: "She was indeed my cousin before, but I can't tell what the relationship is now... She seems to regard me as her property..."

His expression was vague. Sun Dekuan heard something and wanted to gossip, but felt that it was not appropriate in this context, so he had to scratch his hair with his fat hand.

Qisi had no intention of knowing other people's stories, and just looked at Lu Zimo with a half-smile: "Why should I cooperate with you?"

"In a general sense, your value is much lower than Huang Xiaofei. Why do you think I won't betray you to Huang Xiaofei?"

"Benefits." Lu Zimo spat out two words and raised his eyes to look directly into Qisi's eyes. "You can gain more benefits by cooperating with me."

"I know that the contract must be signed on your red page so that you can gain the greatest control - I am willing to sign it."

"Huang Xiaofei is arrogant and proud. Even if you sell me to her, she will take it for granted and will not give you too many benefits. I am in a weak position and have no choice but to rely on you. You can raise the price."

"What you said makes sense." Qi Si smiled, the kind of smile that hits the mark. "I know Huang Xiaofei's character. As soon as she enters the dungeon, she takes the initiative and controls everyone. She is also eager for quick success and is eager to clear the TE."

"Once she finds out your betrayal and kills you, she will most likely get rid of the others. He players, in pursuit of the bonus points for being the only survivor. "

Lu Zimo didn't know how Qi Si derived this far-fetched conclusion, but considering that this remark was in his favor, he nodded: "Yes, so I came to cooperate with you."

"I know Huang Xiaofei's weaknesses. Most of her props can only cause greater damage to ghosts. Facing humans, her close combat ability is only slightly better than that of ordinary people. After returning to reality, I will not give her the opportunity to pass on the message. "

"As long as the three of us work together to deal with her..."

The last few words were drowned out by the wailing sound from afar, and the night wind brought a faint smell of blood, along with the heat of the human body.

In the direction of the hospital building, groups of white-clothed figures can be vaguely seen.

The ghost group is about to attack, and Huang Xiaofei is expected to arrive soon.

Qi Si condensed a bright red contract scroll in front of him and handed the feather pen to Lu Zimo: "Are you sure you can fulfill your promise? I remember that after the player dies, the props stored in the prop column will not be extracted."

Lu Zimo knew Qi Si's concerns and immediately explained: "The Book of the Dead is with me. Huang Xiaofei suspected that you would harm her, so she gave the Book of the Dead to me for safekeeping so as to conceal the truth."

Qisi nodded gently, and the smile on his face finally became more sincere: "Then do as you said on the paper, I will help you kill Huang Xiaofei, and you will give me the Book of the Dead, how about it?"

A line of golden handwriting appeared on the blood-red background, repeating the contract of equal exchange in a concise manner.

Lu Zimo knew that the simpler the terms, the less likely it was to set a trap. Under the conflict of interests, Qi Si had no need to harm him.

Time was running out, he quickly read every word, raised his hand and signed his name in the lower right corner of the scroll.

The blood disappeared in the night sky without leaving a trace.

Sun Dekuan watched blankly, feeling as if he had skipped a large part of the plot.

What is this all about? What promise? What suspicion? What contract?

Who am I? Where am I?

Lin Chen held the bloody frog and stood side by side with the female teacher by the pond, his eyes slightly fixed.

Qi Si had never cut off the consciousness connection, so he heard the conspiracy of the two clearly.

From the earliest time when Lu Zimo described his predicament and asked for help, to Qi Si's direct statement of interests, and finally reached an agreement...

The bloody interest relationship was laid bare in front of him, and the two decided to kill someone so easily. Lin Chen felt that there was a crack in the cognition he had shaped since entering the game.

Could the big man who treated him gently from beginning to end and helped him pass the level actually have such a cold and cruel side?

But why did Qi Si let him hear this?

It is impossible that he forgot the existence of the consciousness connection. It is probably because he trusted him that he did not hide it from him...

What should he do?

Lin Chen has never been able to actively harm others, and even in the dungeon, he cannot accept the act of murder.

In the past, if he heard someone's conspiracy, he would immediately expose it, and at the very least, he would go his separate ways.

But now, the other party is Qi Si, the Qi Si who saved his life...

Although Qi Si has many bad tastes, he is definitely a kind person. How could he actively harm innocent people?

Lin Chen replayed the conversation between Qi Si and Lu Zimo in his mind, and gradually recalled some details.

Huang Xiaofei was arbitrary and regarded human life as worthless. At the beginning of the dungeon, Qi Si was responsible for answering the phone. It is likely that he was in a similar situation to him at the time and was being coerced.

The person who coerced Qi Si is likely to be Huang Xiaofei.

If this is true, then Huang Xiaofei is the same as Yu Kun, and it is not a pity to die.

Lin Chen thought of his previous indecision and failed to save the player killed by Yu Kun, and his eyes dimmed slightly.

From Lu Zimo's words, it can be inferred that Qi Si has a contract-type skill that can control others. There were so many opportunities to trick him into signing a contract before, but he didn't say a word. Obviously, he is not the kind of player who kills people by any means.

Others trust him who is useless, so what qualifications does he have to doubt him when he doesn't know the whole picture?

"Lin Chen, what are you thinking about?" The female teacher suddenly turned to face Lin Chen, her light gray eyes dim, "From last night to now, you often lose your mind."

"Ah? I'm not thinking about anything..." Lin Chen woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly said, "I'm just worried about whether I can find the exit today, such a big pond..."

The female teacher nodded, looked away, and looked in the direction of the hospital building: "Ghosts are coming."

The large group of white shadows at the entrance of the hospital can already be seen in shape. The half-rotten female ghosts dragged their long umbilical cords to the pond, making rustling sounds like snakes and insects crawling all the way.

"Children... our children..."

Their calls were like dream talk, obsessed and fanatical.

Sun Dekuan shuddered, his chubby body jumped left and right twice, hiding behind Qi Si and Lu Zimo.

Qi Si said nothing, raised the long-handled spoon in his hand high, and turned his wrist into the pond.

The red dead baby fell into the water, making a crisp "dong" sound, breaking the dead silence of the pond.

The "quack quack" sound of frogs rang out, at first small and fragmented, as if expressing the resentment of being woken up from sleep, and soon became high-pitched, singing a happy song.

Splashes of water splashed up one after another, blue frogs and green frogs floated up from the bottom of the water, jumping towards the dead fetus in the water, and greedily biting it.

"Child! Child!"

The screams of the female ghosts became shrill, as if they were the ones suffering from the bite pain.

They waved their arms and ran wildly towards the pond, and the stinking wind rushed over and sank into the dark water again.

They rushed into the pond, frantically grabbing frogs that swam toward the dead baby and stuffing them into their mouths.

The frogs were not to be outdone, and turned around and jumped onto the female ghosts, tearing their rotten flesh and umbilical cords desperately.

Pieces of flesh and blood fell down, and the pale pink pond gradually turned red and even crimson.

Frogs croaked and screamed one after another, accompanied by splashing water, and the battle situation could no longer be seen clearly.

Qi Si stood quietly by the pond, with a weird smile on his lips, watching the farce in the pond leisurely.

Sun Dekuan wanted to watch but didn't dare to, his eyes drifted from the sky to the ground, and he didn't look anywhere.

Lu Zimo's attention was not on the pond at all.

He stared at the hospital gate and saw a woman in a black tights walking slowly in the pale moonlight, and a thin sweat oozed from his right hand unconsciously.

The idea of ​​resisting Huang Xiaofei had been planted in his heart many years ago, and took root and sprouted under repeated ridicule, teasing and arrogance.

The weird game magnified Silu's malice in extreme situations and provided an opportunity to put it into practice, and the rebellious spirit gradually flourished.

In each copy, other players either obeyed Huang Xiaofei's orders or kept a distance from her. Only Qi Si in this copy had clearly expressed hostility and was slightly superior to her.

Lu Zimo realized that the opportunity had come.

Huang Xiaofei walked towards the pond step by step, and her face became clearer in the moonlight as the distance got closer. Lu Zimo's heart was pounding.

When she was only one step away, the woman suddenly raised her hand and made a gesture.

A paper chain rushed out from the ground, tightly wrapped around the young man's legs like a venomous snake, and pulled him back fiercely.

Lu Zimo fell to the ground, his face suddenly changed.

Before he could figure out what was going on, Huang Xiaofei leaned over and sneered at him: "Lu Zimo, haven't I been good enough to you over the years?" (End of this chapter)
