Chapter 141: Hallucination? First replay

The Red Sect? Some big shot who was angry? He rushed over, then turned around and left without saying a word.

The three knight commanders in the room were somewhat puzzled by this, but they continued to do their own things indifferently.

Wuji continued to swing the knife, and Zhizhe continued to press Bai Qiu's shoulder to aim at the place where the blade would fall, while Bai Qiu kept muttering to himself and complaining.

Only the white-haired boy sitting on the other side suddenly put down the gem sticker picture in his hand, stood up quietly, and under the gaze of Zhizhe and Wuji, stepped on the table covered with gems, and then sprinted forward.

"Take my headbutt—"

The figure of the young man disappeared as a shadow. The tabletop tilted suddenly, and the tiny and dazzling gems were thrown into the air, flashing colorful lights under the lights.

The next second, a scream resounding through the sky was heard outside the house? .

Wuji, who was swinging his sword down, couldn't help but pause.

The wise man was stunned for a while.

As Bai Qiu's vision was blocked by the box, he was quite concerned about the sudden scream and leaned forward, "What happened? The one outside... Wuji——!"

He also let out a scream.

Wuji threw the knife expressionlessly, and two drops of blood splashed on the ground. "The box is cracked."

Bai Qiu covered the wound on his shoulder. The box was cut in half and stuck on both sides of his head. His grey eyes looked at Wuji opposite through the gap. After a short pause, he said something exaggerated, "Oh my God, look at what that is. There is blood on the floor? Who is bleeding? This is too scary. I am going to faint from the blood!"

The wise man took off the boxes on both sides of Bai Qiu's head and sighed, "Okay, let's recover from the wound. A guest has arrived."

"Guest, who is it? I heard that scream just now and it sounded very familiar." Bai Qiu's attention was diverted and his eyes turned to the door. The hand on his left shoulder fell down. The blood disappeared without a trace, and there was no sign of tearing on his clothes.

Then, as the two figures appearing at the door became clearer, their expressions gradually froze.

Bai Qiu made a prompt decision, brushing his palm across his left shoulder again, and then the knife wound reappeared, blood slowly dyed the clothes around him red, and he also showed his pain and gasped repeatedly, and started to quarrel with Wuji - he was unilaterally scolding people, and Wuji could only respond with a sluggish face, which was really annoying.

Chu Xiuyan successfully used a headbutt to reduce Cui Zhiyong's health bar to zero, and then dragged him back into the room by the collar.

The Red Church and the Knights' subordinates all stood outside the house with expressions of fear and shock.

A clang?

The door closed again.

Chu Xiuyan vacated a small area of his sofa throne and pressed Cui Zhiyong, who closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, to the corner of the sofa. Then he said as if nothing had happened: "Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Yun Aotian. I have two brothers, one is the eldest brother Yun Yan with black hair and black eyes, and the other is the second brother Yun with black and white hair. I am the youngest, so you can just call me Brother Aotian."

Cui Zhiyong felt the sharp pain in his lower back and opened his eyes in pain. "I believe you? Fuck."

Chu Xiuyan pursed his lips and was about to speak when Cui Zhiyong suddenly said to Bai Qiu, who was also covering his wound at the table, "Stop acting. I didn't come to you late at night to see you pretending to act."

Chu Xiuyan: "Wow! Why are you so energetic all of a sudden? Momentum!"

Bai Qiu sneered, and the wound on his shoulder disappeared immediately. Then he asked Cui Zhiyong enthusiastically: "Why are you here? Is it really too late to visit you at night? Unfortunately, we don't have anything to offer you. How about you come back tomorrow? By the way, do you need me to treat the wound on your lower back? It would be very uncomfortable to fight with the wound, right?"

Cui Zhiyong did not respond. His eyes fell on the large gemstone on the table and the other two silent knights [Zhizhe] and [Wuji], and then returned to Bai Qiu's face. The blue of his pupils seemed to be deeper than before. He said word by word: "Bai Qiu, you are the traitor, right?"

Chu Xiuyan was shocked: "Brother Water Monster, get close to me and use your full power!"

Bai Qiu kept smiling, as if he didn't notice the slight change in his companion's gaze. He said in a natural tone, "Bishop Cui, the term traitor is too serious. I just want to choose the most suitable ship. You should know that the king trusts me because I value my life the most. So I will stand on the side that has a higher chance of winning. How can I talk about betrayal?"

Chu Xiuyan: "Ah? Cherish your life? But you? You said before..."

Bai Qiu handed over the pig-killing picture, "Be good, I'm playing with your gem map, don't talk."

Chu Xiuyan was a little? Angry? "...Humph!"

Cui Zhiyong noticed that Bai Qiu's attitude was a little strange, and he couldn't figure out his motives. Originally, he was confident that he could win over the three knights, but for some reason, Bai Qiu's attitude had become distant and close in recent days.

He frowned, becoming more alert to Bai Qiu, and then patted the shoulder of Chu Xiuyan, who was squatting on the ground with gems, and said, "Yun... Aotian, follow me."

Chu Xiuyan groaned: "Private Marseille, Vadasi can't understand you?."

"You know I'm with him, let's go."

Cui Zhiyong grabbed the boy's sleeve and tried to take him away, but Chu Xiuyan held on to the table and chair tightly and refused to move.

"Give up, even if the uncle comes today, he can't drag me away. I'd rather die here." Chu Xiuyan said, whispering, "You are all playing chess, the game is within the game, I can't see it clearly and I don't understand it, but there is only one thing I see clearly, that is, I am better than all of you."

He looked around at the people around him and said, "The weak ones are always bullying, the strong ones can break through all the games. Horizontal banner, everyone here is garbage."

The system took a deep breath: [Host, you are so wild! ]

Cui Zhiyong also inhaled? , but he couldn't persuade him, and he didn't have the strength to take him away by force. Finally, he said with a headache: "Okay, you? Just stay? Here, don't go anywhere, understand?"

Chu Xiuyan continued to hum.

Cui Zhiyong left in a hurry.

Bai Qiu slapped Chu Xiuyan on the shoulder and smiled happily, "As expected, you are one of my family members. There is someone to take over my treasure chest in the basement!"

"That's not how you use successors." The wise man sighed, "Bai Qiu, I trust you and won't betray you, but why did you arouse Bishop Cui's vigilance and hostility?"

Bai Qiu smiled and said, "Knowledgeable one, this is a very simple question. The most fundamental reason is the different standpoints."

Wuji subconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife, frowned and said: "Bishop Cui? He has the blood of the kingdom's ruler."

Bai Qiu: "But his heart has already flown to the other side of the forest."

As he spoke, he looked at the boy squatting on the ground and saw a face full of confusion.

Chu Xiuyan: "Aba Aba."

Bai Qiu wanted to laugh again, but then he sighed and said, "Cui Zhiyong is hiding a very important secret, and that secret is enough to make us die meaninglessly. If I want to break their trap, I have to think of another way."

The wise man seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes fell on the white-haired boy.

Chu Xiuyan: “…”

Chu Xiuyan: "Riddler, get out of the kingdom."

The night passed by little by little, and soon it was the next day.

The first to leave was Wuji, who received an order from the king in the early morning.

[The Red Pope is being assassinated and needs the close protection of the Fifth Knight.]

He glanced at Chu Xiuyan, his dark eyes faintly glowing with a light blue light, and then said to Bai Qiu: "No matter what happens, I am only loyal to the bloodline of the king, so if it is to kill pigs, I will cooperate. But I will not do anything to Bishop Cui, sorry, Bai Qiu."

Bai Qiu waved his hand, signaling him to get out.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the wise man who seemed to be resting woke up.

"The gray fog in the lower city has not yet dissipated. The Hidden Lantern Society, led by its leader, has rushed to the middle city and is approaching the entrance to the upper city, causing widespread riots and chaos. I need to stop them."

The wise man stood up, his white robe was wrinkle-free and dust-free. He looked at Bai Qiu, his voice still gentle and calm, "I have endured for too long. This deformed and twisted kingdom suppresses everyone's soul. No one is free. Dying in this riot is the most appropriate ending. Bai Qiu, don't come to save me."

Bai Qiu raised his eyelids, "Oh, whatever you want? OK."

The wise man looked at the white-haired boy lying on the sofa and said softly, "They all say that you are the son of prophecy, but in my eyes, everyone who has hope and tries to resist is a self-saving [son of prophecy]. You are the same, Yunyan, I wish you never lose hope and resistance."

Chu Xiuyan didn't want to go and see it? He said sullenly, "The guy who said he wanted to redeem himself chose to die."

The knower did not respond and he left the house.

Finally, only Bai Qiu and Chu Xiuyan were left in the living room.

"Everyone is gone, now it's my turn to say my last words."

Bai Qiu pushed the boy who had his back to him and said with a smile, "Don't sleep anymore. Wake up. I'll analyze the situation for you from my perspective."

Chu Xiuyan sat up suddenly, "Come!"

"There are currently four knight commanders who are openly willing to protect the pig. The first knight commander is loyal and will protect the pig even if he dies, and the rest of us want the pig to die. Of course, we have kept this matter a secret and no one else knows about it, so Cui Zhiyong and your companion who secretly designed it will try to win us over, but in essence we are already on the same side as you. But..."

The smile on Bai Qiu's face gradually faded. "Our life and death depend on the pig's thoughts, so we must protect him - this is my original guess. But what if the pig controls not only life and death, but also our thoughts and consciousness?"

Chu Xiuyan opened his mouth wide.

"So your companion may have got the direction right by accident. The Red Cult headquarters that Wuji is heading to is two kilometers away from the palace where the pig is. It takes five minutes to get there at the fastest speed. It takes thirteen minutes for the Zhizhe to go to the central city and return. And the return trip to the noble dinner I am about to attend takes eight minutes." Bai Qiu's eyes flashed with light, "Only the First Knight Commander will never leave the palace. In other words, under normal circumstances, your companion needs to kill the king within five minutes to have the most perfect ending."

Chu Xiuyan: "What if the pig cannot be killed in five minutes?"

Bai Qiu's smile disappeared. "That's the battle plan I told you. If we arrive together, the four knights will kill me first, then the knower. It doesn't matter who dies first."

At this point, he paused, "No, wait a minute, the Knower will die in the Hidden Lantern Society riot, so by then you will only have to deal with three Knight Commanders."

Chu Xiuyan's face was long, "I will kill the pig in five minutes."

"Then there is another question," Bai Qiu pinched his chin and said, "Cui Zhiyong, I'm not sure what secret he is hiding. Maybe when the pig dies, he will suddenly become the second pig. After all, their bloodline has been contaminated."

Chu Xiuyan: "Polluted means...?"

"Polluted by God." Bai Qiu said, "The reason why that pig can control our life and death and even our thoughts is because he is 'favored' by God."

Air? Dead silence.

"It's okay." Chu Xiuyan patted Bai Qiu on the shoulder and said seriously: "I am the protagonist. I will definitely fulfill the promise I made, otherwise my character will be ruined."

Bai Qiu showed an extremely difficult expression, "Sorry, I just..."

He didn't finish his words, for half an hour later he received an order from the king to go to the banquet and collect the nobles' money.

"Look, how foolish and arrogant the man sitting on that throne is. He stepped into the enemy's trap and sent us away one by one, yet he arrogantly believed that we would successfully reach his side before the danger came. He wants both, tsk."

After saying that, Bai Qiu waved and walked out of the door, "Let's go, Yunyan."

Chu Xiuyan waved goodbye: "Bye, I'll remember it for five minutes."

However, to his surprise, half an hour later when he was about to set out to assassinate the king, someone suddenly opened the door.

Chu Xiuyan was horrified: "What the hell, uncle?!"

He quickly thought of something, and without waiting for Zhang Chun to speak, he quickly asked: "If you are here, who will kill the pig after Bai Qiu and the others are led away?!"

He thought Zhang Chun's plan was to lure Bai Qiu away and then assassinate the king himself!

"Pig?" Zhang Chun paused for a moment, then realized who he was referring to, and said in a normal tone, "Cui Zhiyong."

Chu Xiuyan: “??!!”

He held his head in shock.

Zhang Chun explained, "It's like this. Although I managed to lure away those knight commanders, I didn't have much time, less than five minutes, and in these five minutes, I couldn't kill the king, only Cui Zhiyongxing."

Chu Xiuyan said: "Why is he able to do it?"

Zhang Chun was silent for a while. Didn't speak?

Chu Xiuyan had a very strange feeling and asked again, "Why could he kill the king?"

Zhang Chun still didn't speak? .

Chu Xiuyan stood up, and a terrifying conjecture suddenly flashed through his mind. "Bai Qiu said that the pig was favored by God, so it would be difficult to kill. He also said that Cui Zhiyong had the same contaminated blood as the king... They were both favored, so he could be killed?"

Zhang Chun nodded helplessly.

"Then why don't you go help him, instead of stopping me here?" Chu Xiuyan's IQ is now up, "You don't want me to contact the king, right? Why?"

【Ah.】 The system suddenly made a sound, 【The pig is dead.】

Chu Xiuyan: [Ah? He died so soon? I haven’t even said a few words to the uncle yet? Damn it, he was shot in the head by the water monster!]

The system was silent for a while, then said: [Cui Zhiyong is also dead.]

Just now? Appeared? Here? The smile on Chu Xiuyan's face froze instantly.

Zhang Chun was quick to notice something was wrong and said, "No matter what you have found, it's all an illusion! Ignore it—"

The expression on Chu Xiuyan's face disappeared, and he interrupted him and said, "Cui Zhiyong is dead."

Zhang Chun said without a doubt: "That was an illusion. He won't die here."

"When I first came into contact with the Bone Tribe mercenaries, I was the only one who saw their true nature through their skins, while what you saw was a false illusion."

Chu Xiuyan looked at Zhang Chun calmly, as if all emotions disappeared from him, "What I saw is the truth."

[System, rewind to the moment when Bai Qiu just left.]

The system hesitated for a while: [Theoretically, it is impossible to rewind. After all, the only chance was used up in the base in the forest... But... I listen to you, host. However, please be careful, whether time flows backwards or forwards, there are always "traces of existence". ]

Chu Xiuyan saw Zhang Chun's expression gradually become blurred, and the words he said seemed to be stuck in his ears.

“Don’t… go…”

The vision fell into darkness.

When it became bright again, Zhang Chun on the opposite side disappeared.

A few meters away, Bai Qiu pushed open the door and waved goodbye to him.

"Let's go, Yunyan."

"...Ah." Chu Xiuyan slowly smiled at him, "Bye, I'll remember it for five minutes."
