Chapter 95: Thousand Faces of All Living Things (3)

The strange expression that Shao Qiu Shui accidentally revealed when facing Xie Xin still aroused Lu Jinghong's vigilance. She instantly understood that Shao Qiu Shui was not a newcomer, but was deliberately hiding something from her.

However, such deception is still understandable. Lu Jinghong himself would not reveal his background to unfamiliar players at the beginning, and showing weakness is a disguise that most players would choose.

After all, who would be wary of a newcomer who has just entered the game?

And to be honest, Lu Jinghong felt that the little girl next to him was ridiculously weak.

If Shao Qiu Shui doesn't do anything weird, Lu Jinghong would still be willing to protect her.

Compared to this, Lu Jinghong was more concerned about the magician on the stage who made the little girl look extremely frightened.

She frowned quietly.

Logically speaking, each copy has its own NPC in charge, and generally speaking, NPCs cannot be repeated, but this little girl seems to be very afraid of the NPC on the stage.

Compared with the spiritual and intuitive players, Lu Jinghong believed that the magician on the stage had left an indelible shadow on the girl.

That leaves only one possibility.

The magician on the stage is not an original NPC!

He is an outsider too!

Lu Jinghong lowered her eyes. If someone noticed this beautiful woman now, they would find a thin layer of light flowing in her eyes.

This is Lu Jinghong activating her skills.

Lu Jinghong usually does not use her skills. This is her killing weapon. Just like some powerful thermal weapons in reality, it is extremely harmful and uncontrollable, and it can easily affect people or objects around it. Although it is a good skill to deal with enemies, at the same time, Lu Jinghong's reading time is longer than any other player.

She has a fatal weakness.

When the skill is being read, if there are any psychic players around, they can easily control Lu Jinghong who is extremely vulnerable due to the skill.

If the magician on the stage hadn't given her a bad feeling, Lu Jinghong wouldn't have wanted to use her skills easily.

She slowly raised her eyes and fixed her gaze on the slender figure on the stage.

Lu Jinghong's skills can purify all spiritual pollution, and can also control the soul of any creature she looks at directly, allowing her to see through everything and captivate people.

But when she looked at the magician, the other party's movements only slowed down for a moment, like a clockwork puppet occasionally stuck, and soon returned to normal.

Lu Jinghong even read a hint of mockery in the other person's peach blossom eyes beneath the mask.

Then the magician clapped his hands lightly, and when he looked at Lu Jinghong again, he raised his hand and the cards in his hand flew into Lu Jinghong's hand.

Shao Qiushui, who was standing by, also noticed the confrontation between the two people. She screamed hoarsely, "Sister, don't look into his eyes!!!"

Shao Qiu Shui didn't know what the magician on the stage was, but she remembered clearly that the incident happened after Mr. Gu made eye contact with the other party.

But Shao Qiushui reminded him too late.

After Lu Jinghong subconsciously received the card in his hand, he felt as if he was under a spell and could only allow those peach blossom eyes to look at him.

The soul seemed to be hit hard by a sledgehammer.

Since Lu Jinghong entered the game, he has never suffered such a severe mental attack.

No... there was one time.

Shao Qiu Shui pulled her aside and shouted anxiously, but Lu Jinghong could only be forced to look at the magician on the stage.

"...Xie Xin." She struggled to move her lips and teeth and uttered two words.

There is no one else who can suppress her except Xie Xin.

After Gu Qiufeng went down to the basement, he paused, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart.

Why did he trust Xie Xin so much just now?

This is not like him at all.

Obviously, there are so many mysteries about Xie Xin that have not been clarified, but when Gu Qiufeng faced him just now, it seemed that only some positive emotions were left.

Xie Xin did something to him!

Gu Qiufeng cursed inwardly, and could basically guess that this grandson had sent him away because he was planning something bad.

He didn't want Lu Jinghong to meet him smoothly at all!

Unfortunately, before he could take a few steps back, he was caught by a fierce wind.

Gu Qiufeng misstepped and the rotating electric saw brushed past his face.

He saw the clown who had been knocked unconscious in the storage room after his equipment was robbed, standing in front of him with red eyes and a huge chainsaw in his hand.

Xie Xin released him on purpose to delay time.

Because the clown was holding the chainsaw and swinging it around, Gu Qiufeng couldn't get close to it for a while.

His skills can only work when he comes into contact with the Joker.

After dealing with it for a while, Gu Qiufeng inevitably felt a little anxious.

It's like this every time!

Because he grew up together, Xie Xin knew his character very well, and naturally knew how to use Gu Qiufeng's weaknesses to disrupt his emotions.

Gu Qiufeng turned a few steps, took a deep breath, spun a card with his fingertips, and threw out the ghost baby.

The ghost baby fell to the ground, opened its mouth wide in an instant, and swallowed the clown who was swinging the chainsaw into its stomach along with his weapon.

Gu Qiufeng put the hiccuping ghost baby into the card again, and suddenly, a bad memory came to his mind.

He quickly ran back to the backstage, and as expected, the originally crowded backstage NPCs had all disappeared, leaving only cards on the ground!

If Xie Xin wanted to, he could completely destroy Gu Qiufeng's card skills.

Shao Qiu Shui had experienced this once before, but Gu Qiufeng thought Xie Xin would not really do it again.

Regardless of whether there are NPCs or human players in this room, Xie Xin's behavior can almost be described as inhumane, cold and harsh.

He is always like this.

Gu Qiufeng gritted his teeth.

Xie Xin is a pure-blooded monster. He does not and does not want to have human empathy. He only does what he wants to do, and he also pretends to be innocent and pitiful.

But in fact, all the human-like emotions revealed by Xie Xin were just his means to bewitch people!

When Gu Qiufeng returned to the stage again, the NPCs in the audience seats had been crushed into mud.

Xie Xin, dressed as a magician, was leaning against the cabinet. He took off his mask, and when he lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes seemed to be coated with a layer of gold.

"Where are Lu Jinghong and Shao Qiu Shui?" Gu Qiufeng asked calmly.

When he came, my mood had actually gradually calmed down.

But there are too many complicated mysteries between them that need Xie Xin to explain personally.

Xie Xin raised his eyes and said softly, "I thought you wouldn't believe me."

Gu Qiufeng said: "Whether you believe it or not depends on how you explain it."

"Just now," Xie Xin said, "Lu Jinghong tried to use a skill on me, but I attacked him back."

Gu Qiufeng could see that Xie Xin's ability was also spiritual, but compared with Lu Jinghong, the former was more like destruction, while the latter was more like purification.

He couldn't help but ask, "Do you know Lu Jinghong?"

"I know you." Xie Xin said, "But I don't have time to explain this to you now."

Gu Qiufeng blurted out: "What's the danger?"//

Xie Xin laughed quietly, and after a while he said, "You still trust me so much."

After being reminded by Xie Xinyi, Gu Qiufeng remembered that all the NPCs he had collected with great effort were destroyed by Xie Xinyi, and his face suddenly darkened.

Xie Xin seemed not to care and reached out to hold Gu Qiufeng's wrist.

His hands were very cold. Gu Qiufeng had a normal human temperature, so he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy deep sea.

"It's done." Xie Xin said, "I've already sent Shao Qiushui and the others away, so we have to move to another floor."

He grabbed Gu Qiufeng's hand and started running.

Gu Qiufeng blinked and saw that wherever Xie Xin went, all the NPCs screamed and melted automatically.

Some clues gradually formed a clear line of truth in his mind.

He couldn't help but ask Xie Xin who was running with him in front, "Is there something wrong with Lu Jinghong?"

In fact, the fact that X resurrected Lu Jinghong so easily was suspicious in the first place.

But Lu Jinghong was able to move freely and did not seem to be affected by X.

So Gu Qiufeng thought that X couldn't do anything to Lu Jinghong.

Now that I think about it, X did something to Lu Jinghong that even she herself didn't understand.

"It's a mark." Xie Xin said, "A mark on the soul. I just discovered it."

They ran to the edge of the dungeon, and Xie Xin waved his hand to slash the door open. After they entered the elevator, Xie Xin continued to explain: "This mark can allow X to be reborn briefly."

"X can't enter the inner world of the game." Xie Xin took a breath, "Because the life dimension is different. But if there is a teleportation point, it will be much easier."

Gu Qiufeng said: "If we want to defeat X, we can't do it in this dimension, right?"

Creatures from higher dimensions naturally have absolute advantages in the low-dimensional world.

"Which floor is your friend on?" Xie Xin said, "Go find him."

Gu Qiufeng pressed the floor where Duan Jiangli was.

Then he asked, "So where are Lu Jinghong and the others?"

"I have hidden them so that they cannot be discovered by X for now," said Xie Xin.

Gu Qiufeng looked him over.

Suddenly I remembered that this guy might be a creature from a higher dimension like X.

He joked, "You're not hiding them in time, are you?"

Xie Xin looked at him and said, "How smart."

"Did I guess right?" Gu Qiufeng asked, "Which period of time?"

Xie Xin said: "It's not entirely correct."

"I put Lu Jinghong in my memory. I set up a new copy for her." Xie Xin said, "If she can't get out for a while, she won't be noticed by X."

Gu Qiufeng asked: "After clearing the A-level copy, is City A the high-dimensional world?"

Xie Xin said: "Yes."

I know so much.

Gu Qiufeng curled his lips: "Now I believe you are not X."

"X is a symbol. We don't pursue individual human identity, so I can be X, but I won't be it." Xie Xin said.

The elevator arrived at the floor where Duan Jiangli was.

Just as Xie Xin was about to leave, Gu Qiufeng stared at his back and asked out of the blue, "What did you give up?"

"Since high-dimensional creatures cannot directly enter the low-dimensional world. Xie Xin, what did you give up to become my brother?"
