Chapter 221 Frog Hospital (Twenty-One) Winner Takes All

A quarter of an hour ago, Huang Xiaofei took a stack of white paper from Qi Si and keenly noticed the latter's strange attitude.

When she released the ghosts and followed them to the pond, she quickly flipped through the papers.

As expected, a crumpled page full of words fell out.

[Cheng An, I am Lu Zimo, and I want to make a deal with you. If you help me kill Huang Xiaofei, I can transfer the Book of the Dead to you. ]

Looking at the words written in Lu Zimo's handwriting, Huang Xiaofei was so angry that she laughed.

Qi Si would betray Lu Zimo as she expected. After all, the young man with questionable strength needed her help to pass the level smoothly.

What she didn't expect was that Lu Zimo was so stupid that he easily believed an outsider and conspired to harm his own sister.

Yes, her relationship with Lu Zimo was actually closer than she introduced herself. They were siblings, but one took the father's surname and the other took the mother's surname.

Huang Xiaofei vaguely remembered that when she was sixteen, her mother held her hand the day before she died and said weakly: "Manfei, you are a sister, you should take care of your brother more."

From then on, her life was split in two. In addition to the personality of the original spoiled and carefree little girl, there was an older sister who loved her younger brother.

The complicated daily life, the trivialities of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the exploitation of relatives and the squeeze of neighbors, all the pressures that followed fell on Huang Xiaofei's shoulders.

In a family without parents, she seemed to have taken over the burden of life and was forced to play the role of a mother.

The days of playing day and night and spending money lavishly outside have become a bubble. She needs to pay attention to the living conditions of her eight-year-old brother at all times and calculate all family expenses carefully.

After enjoying a good life, encountering difficulties will be more painful in comparison. The surging fatigue like a tide may be more due to the decline of the family, but Huang Xiaofei subconsciously always feels that this is all Lu Zimo's fault.

If there is no brother, it will be better. She had thought this more than once, looking at the pale and thin boy beside her, helpless and sad.

But habit is a terrible and fortunate thing. As time went by, Huang Xiaofei gradually got used to Lu Zimo's existence.

The initial rejection was eliminated, and the positive emotions infiltrated the daily details of getting along like water. When Lu Zimo made a cake by hand and said "Happy Birthday" to her, Huang Xiaofei finally felt a little moved.

She realized that she and her brother were like two vines entangled in the cracks of the stone wall. They were destined to be inseparable since birth. The two of them depended on each other in this vast world and dispelled loneliness. It was an arrangement made by fate.

Lu Zimo was very quiet and obedient. He never caused trouble to others. Occasionally, Huang Xiaofei would help to settle a few unprovoked disasters with a tough attitude.

She made plans for the future, paid attention to grades and interpersonal relationships, checked diaries and personal belongings. She was like a mother raising her own children, managing everything in an orderly and meticulous manner.

Days passed by one after another, and mutual support gradually became a habit. Huang Xiaofei controlled everything of Lu Zimo for ten years, and drove away those men and women who tried to interfere in their lives.

Lu Zimo had also protested slightly, or expressed dissatisfaction with silence, but Huang Xiaofei could always resolve it by giving him a sweet date after a blow.

It is difficult for people to truly reflect on themselves. Although she found that she could not tolerate changes and had gone crazy, she did not think there was anything wrong with it.

The outside world is dangerous, and most of the courtesy of outsiders is either treacherous or thieves. They can only trust each other.

What's more, she has paid and sacrificed so much for Lu Zimo without any complaints, so what qualifications does Lu Zimo have to object?

"Lu Zimo, haven't I been good enough to you all these years?"

By the pond, Huang Xiaofei tightened the paper chain, brought Lu Zimo in front of her, and looked at him with a sneer.

The woman took out a white paper with black words of conspiracy from her arms and threw it on the young man's face.

The frogs croaked in the pale moonlight, which sounded like a baby crying. The strong smell of blood dissipated in the night wind, rushing into everyone's nose.

Lu Zimo shook off the wrinkled paper and looked at Qi Si who looked indifferent not far away. He felt that his blood was half cold.

It seemed that it was not an accident. The other party had expected it. From the beginning, he fell into the other party's scam...

But how could things develop like this? The interest relationship was so clear, why did the other party betray him?

On the system interface, the words [The contract has been signed. This contract is guaranteed by the world rules. No existence can violate it] were unusually clear. Lu Zimo thought blankly and couldn't figure out the method and reason of Qi Si's breach of contract...

He only knew that this rash action was too hasty. Huang Xiaofei would not let him go. He was finished...

Huang Xiaofei saw the changes in Lu Zimo's expression. Surprise, regret, and fear flashed one by one, but there was no guilt.

She was even more angry, but she suppressed it and tried to be calm and said, "Lu Zimo, if you have any opinions, can't you tell me directly? You are embarrassing yourself here and making a fool of yourself for others."

Lu Zimo looked at her desperately and yelled, "Huang Manfei! I've had enough of you! You keep saying that you are doing good for me, but in fact you only think about yourself!"

The young man's voice was nasal: "These years, I have nothing. All the money, items, points, and props are yours. I have to get your consent for everything I do... I am already 22 years old. Why do you treat me like this?"

This was the first time Huang Xiaofei saw Lu Zimo's intense emotions. She was stunned for a moment, and her heart felt bitter, as if it was tightly bound by a layer of plastic film.

The inexplicable emotions only lasted for two seconds. She came to her senses, shook her head, and laughed: "Lu Zimo, you are really an ungrateful person, born to be ungrateful, just like your father."

Some people can't be tamed, Huang Xiaofei thought so again.

The father of the two once owed a lot of debts and left a big family behind and disappeared. Lu Zimo must have inherited the selfish genes of that man, so he turned a blind eye to his sister's efforts.

Huang Xiaofei believed this and made up her mind to teach her disappointing brother a lesson after leaving the copy.

-Even at this time, she still didn't think of killing Lu Zimo.

After all, they only had each other, and it was a very lonely thing to live alone in the world.

"We'll have plenty of time to talk about the past after the dungeon is over. Let's talk about the next plan first." Qi Si stood behind Huang Xiaofei without knowing when, and his voice was soft and slow.

"Plan?" Huang Xiaofei kept looking at Lu Zimo without turning his head, "Didn't we agree on it before?"

Qi Si said: "After the ghosts and frogs are both injured, one person should stay on the shore to support them, and the other two should go into the water to find a passage."

"I'll stay on the shore." Huang Xiaofei said, "I'm good at dealing with ghosts, and staying on the shore can prevent accidents. The physical strength and physique of you two grown men must be stronger than me, a woman..."

She suddenly saw Lu Zimo's pupils dilated in shock, staring at her back, as if he saw something incomprehensible.

The danger warning jumped wildly, and she reacted very quickly to condense a paper man at her fingertips and threw it behind her, but it was not faster than the sudden attack.

The cold and hard touch pierced through the heart accurately, and a crystal pendulum dragging a black iron chain passed through the chest, swallowing up the heat of life.

The blooming blood seeped into the black tights, and then dripped down, connecting to the wet ground.

Huang Xiaofei heard Qi Si's smiling voice behind her ears: "I thought the so-called force-based players were so powerful, but now it seems that they are not so difficult to kill."

His tone was narrow, as if he was just a naughty child digging crabs on the beach and sharing his experience with his playmates of similar age.

Huang Xiaofei felt a chill all over her body, both physically and mentally.

She looked deeply at Lu Zimo, who was wandering in front of her, and finally figured out Qi Si's plan at the last moment.

However, if a person is killed, he will die. Most humans will not survive if their hearts are pierced.

In the end, she couldn't say anything to remind him, but just coughed up blood foam in embarrassment and fell forward.

Lu Zimo subconsciously turned his body to the side and caught the woman's soft body with his chest.

His sight missed the woman's black hair, and he stared blankly at Qi Si who was holding the blood-colored pendulum.

The young man's white shirt was stained with blood, and his figure with his back to the moonlight cast a cluster of slender shadows on his head. The pendulum in his hand was moistened by blood, refracting scarlet spots from all angles.

Sensing the disbelief in his eyes, the young man tilted his head and smiled: "Have you forgotten? The contract is done, I promised you that I would help you kill her."

A drop of blood slid down the bottom edge of the crystal pendulum, dripped onto the ground, and seeped into the soil.

Lu Zimo's neck touched the woman's warm blood belatedly, and his Adam's apple twitched as if it was burned.

It seemed that he realized from this moment that Huang Xiaofei was dead. The connected blood soaked his hospital gown, and he felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.

When Huang Xiaofei took out the paper full of conspiracy, he really thought that Qi Si had torn up the contract beforehand and planned to cooperate with Huang Xiaofei instead.

After all, judging from the strength on paper, Huang Xiaofei is much stronger than him. Although she has various intolerable shortcomings, it does not prevent her from being an excellent partner.

And the contract signed under the witness of the rules may not be torn up. It is normal for the leader of the transaction to have the right to interpret the terms. If it were him, he would also find a way to leave a few traps so that he could get something for nothing.

At the moment when Qi Si sacrificed the curse pendulum, he was already occupied by the emotion of despair, so that he had no time to feel the relief of surviving the disaster and the joy of fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

All he felt was a blank of confusion.

Too many things happened in just a few minutes, and the chaos was upside down like a nightmare.

Lu Zimo twisted his body to stand up, but his limbs were out of control.

The props outside the prop column will not disappear with the death of the owner. The paper chains summoned by Huang Xiaofei before his death still tightly bound his hands and legs.

Lu Zimo looked at Qi Si with a pleading look. The latter lowered his eyes and said three words lightly: "Book of the Dead."

The golden vine shadow symbolizing rules sank into Lu Zimo's chest. He felt the pocket inside his shirt empty. He saw the vine holding a small booklet made of human skin and flying in front of Qi Si.

Qis raised his hand to take the booklet.

[Name: Book of the Dead (Damaged)]

[Type: Prop]

[Effect: Make the holder show the characteristics of the dead and gain some of the abilities of the dead]

[Note: Praise God, let the dead rest in the underworld and wake up in the daytime]

Sun Dekuan had shrunk far away from the edge of the pond when Huang Xiaofei attacked Lu Zimo, trying to reduce his presence.

At first, I thought the plan had changed, then I found out that it was Qi Si who backstabbed his teammates, and finally I realized that Qi Si did not backstab, but his acting was too good...

Sun Dekuan was completely confused and could not keep up with the pace of the development of the situation.

He silently sighed, "City people really know how to have fun", and looked at Huang Xiaofei's body with a bit of pity unconsciously.

In the final analysis, Huang Xiaofei had never done anything to him that would anger the heavens and the people, and there was no way to talk about a life-and-death feud.

No matter how unforgettable the unfortunate experiences that Lu Zimo talked about were, at most he felt sympathy, but could not arouse the emotion of sharing the same hatred against the enemy.

He was timid, afraid of ghosts and people, and could not be a saint who saved all living beings, but he had never thought of harming people.

But the opinions of people like him were the most insignificant in the overall situation, and all he could do was go with the flow.

Sun Dekuan estimated that the dust had settled, and trotted a few steps to Lu Zimo's side, lowering his head to study the paper chain tied to him: "I'm not saying, this thing looks a bit difficult to deal with, I wonder if it can be dissolved by soaking in water?"

"I'm afraid not." Lu Zimo stared at Qi Si, his voice trembling with his emotions, "Cheng An, your pendulum should be able to cut the paper lock, help me unlock it."

Qisi heard the words, rolled up the Book of the Dead into a bundle and stuffed it into his pocket, and cut off the connection of consciousness.

He seemed to finally remember Lu Zimo's existence, lowered his head and grinned: "If I remember correctly, this doesn't seem to be mentioned in the contract."

Lu Zimo was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Qi Si wanted to do, and opened his mouth to question.

Qisi had expected it, grabbed a towel from his backpack and stuffed it into his mouth, maintaining the silence of the scene.

Sun Dekuan thought that his thoughts had finally caught up with the events, but he didn't expect to see this 180-degree turn up close in a second.

He widened his eyes and was about to ask a question when he heard the young man say in a matter-of-fact tone: "Huang Xiaofei is dead. Both of us are not strong enough. We must be more cautious in the next action. We have to choose a cannon fodder for trial and error, right?"

Qisi slightly bent over, facing Lu Zimo, and made an inappropriate joke: "And Lu Zimo, didn't you also say that Huang Xiaofei often asked you to step on the mines and make mistakes. You are an expert in this area, so you should be laid off and find a job again."

This is not funny.

Lu Zimo wanted to curse, but his blocked mouth could not make a sound.

Under the moonlight, a pool of blood had stopped fluctuating for a long time.

On a night without frog sounds and crying, Qisi turned and walked towards the pond and said, "Sun Dekuan, let's find a passage as soon as possible."

Sun Dekuan looked at the bright red pool water, and his heart felt as if countless insects were crawling.

But the young man still remembered the scene of killing Huang Xiaofei and cooking Lu Zimo. He didn't dare to say no, so he could only say with trembling lips: "Okay...Okay, Brother Cheng, I'll come right away..." (End of this chapter)
