Chapter 176: The Strange Pseudo-Romance Variety Show's Heartthrob (19)

What kind of vicious words are these?

Qiao Xi was silent.

As expected, she couldn't understand the ferocious beast's way of thinking.

The little girl turned her head and looked away calmly. The desolate scene came into her eyes, and she felt lonely and depressed.

Standing on the top of the ruins and looking down, you can see everything, as if everything is under control.

She didn't hate the feeling.

I just feel that this loneliness is somewhat familiar.

Qiao Xi didn't say anything to him, and Taowu naturally didn't mind her cold attitude. The man raised his hand and hooked a strand of her raven hair that fell on her shoulder. It was as smooth and beautiful as silk.

He kept rubbing and touching it in his hand, and when the girl turned her gaze to him again, Taowu's mood had improved a lot.

"It's almost time. I'll take you back."

After all, the game had just begun, and he had intercepted the player's date halfway through, and now he was almost satisfied to see the person.

"Then go ahead."

Qiao Xi closed her eyes slightly when she heard that, and the red-haired young man reached out and touched her forehead.

Subtle fluctuations of power spread like ripples.

A strong sense of drowsiness came over him, and the girl in front of him closed her eyes and fell down, losing her balance. Seeing this, Taowu reached out and caught her, half holding her in his arms.

He raised his hand and placed it on the girl's head, stroking her cold hair, feeling her breath and warm body close to him.

Taowu's eyes gradually became deeper.

Qiongqi cares a lot about her spiritual state.

Hun Dun was very interested in her soul, while Taowu himself was interested in Qiao Xi herself.

Qiao Xi's body in his arms turned into a point of light and began to disappear. He also hid the unknown emotions surging in the depths of his eyes.

Until the girl disappeared completely.

When Ji Yinchen regained consciousness in the game scene.

A biting cold wind blew in his face, irritating his skin and raising goose bumps. Ji Yinchen shuddered. He touched his arm and looked at the desolate countryside around him.

I always feel a little uneasy.

The weeds are overgrown and the dusk is gloomy.

He was on a remote path, surrounded by endless bare loess and weeds. The path in front of him went straight ahead, with a broken signpost next to it.

Huoying Village-South.

Not seeing Qiao Xi, Ji Yinchen felt inexplicably uneasy.

Before, when he was still in the villa, he would chat with Qiao Xi for a while before going to bed every night, and would only go to sleep when he felt safe.

A few days of comfortable life also made him gradually relax.

Now entering the game scene made Ji Yinchen nervous again. He walked along the path, not knowing what he would encounter.

He subconsciously touched his heart.

There was a small pocket there, containing the talisman Qiao Xi had given him. Touching the slightly warm talisman, Ji Yinchen felt a little relieved.

It's really no wonder he's afraid.

After experiencing such strange things, even the most tolerant people will instinctively feel uneasy and fearful when faced with unknown supernatural phenomena and non-human creatures.

My heart is beating like a drum.

He stepped on the broken branches, kept his guard up, and walked cautiously along the path, exploring forward.

There was a tattered notice board at the entrance of the village.

Standing here alone, the notice above has long faded and become tattered after being exposed to wind and rain.

It looks quite old.

Ji Yinchen walked around and continued forward, getting closer to the village entrance.

Until the familiar figure appeared within his sight, Ji Yinchen's eyes lit up and he quickened his pace to move closer to her.

My heart gradually calmed down.

"Qiao Xi, have you been here long?" He greeted the girl standing at the entrance of the village, and the latter turned around and raised a faint gentle smile.

"No, I just arrived too."

Even in such a strange environment, the girl who is as cheerful as spring breeze still has a bright and clean smile, and it seems that there are invisible hands.

Gently wipe away all the uneasiness in Ji Yinchen's heart.

Although he felt a little embarrassed to think this way, Qiao Xi did give him enough sense of security, as if she was always so at ease.

"Let's go in on a date."

The girl's soft voice interrupted Ji Yinchen's thoughts. He came back to his senses and nodded: "Okay, go in."

The doors and windows of every household in the village were closed.

The rusty door handles and the window frames covered with a thick layer of dust are silent proof that no one has lived here for a long time.

The empty street was so quiet that only the sound of their footsteps could be heard. Ji Yinchen looked around, and his heart, which had just calmed down a little, began to feel uneasy again.

Qiao Xi next to him was studying the mobile phone distributed by the program team.

He seemed to be looking at the navigation, comparing it with his surroundings from time to time, and he didn't seem to be affected by the eerily quiet atmosphere here.

Ji Yinchen couldn't help but glance in her direction.

As if to ease his uneasiness in the unfamiliar environment, he moved closer to the girl and asked, "What are you looking at?"

The man's unfamiliar aura hit me.

Qiao Xi looked up at him and handed his phone to him: "Here's the meeting place, and the map also marked a few places to go. Should we go?"

There is still a height difference.

The girl handed him the phone to show him, but Ji Yinchen's eyes fell on her fair and smooth hand. Looking down along her fingers, he saw a slender arm.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

It's hard to imagine that she was removing the spider's legs with her bare hands.

Ji Yinchen touched his nose and looked away: "It's better not to go to these places, they always feel very dangerous."

Qiao Xi pouted when she heard this, and her perky little nose wrinkled: "If we don't go to these places, then where should we go?"

Ji Yinchen looked hesitant and troubled.

He didn't know where to go. "How about just wandering around and killing time?"

Qiao Xi thought for a moment and said, "That's fine too."

The few places marked on the phone for visitors to visit are really nothing special. They are nothing more than wishing wells, temples, and marriage trees with red notes hanging on them.

It seems like a check-in destination for couples.

Qiao Xi put her phone away and walked aimlessly on the street while chatting with Ji Yinchen.

On the other side, Ji Yinbai also met Luo Zhu smoothly.

However, the atmosphere between the two was freezing cold, and they even kept a certain distance. It didn't look like they were on a date at all, but more like leaders who came to check on them as a routine matter.

The two entered the north of Huoying Village one after the other.

Until their figures walking on the street disappeared into the distance, lines of words slowly appeared on the torn and faded advertising paper on the bulletin board on the south side of Huoying Village.

Four missing person notices were quietly formed.

at the same time.

The doors and windows of every house were tightly shut, and the door panels began to loosen slightly. The handles began to make a slight sound and began to twist. No one had opened the rusty door for years, but now someone was trying to open it from the inside.

And all this happened silently.
