Chapter 566 Next Stop (33)

"So that's how it is..."

After listening to Qiao Xi's simple summary, Cheng Xin suddenly understood.

Just as Ye Ran had guessed, Qiao Xi was the lucky one chosen. She faced the thrilling dating mode alone, even interrupting her live broadcast.

Maybe the content of that mode is not leaked.

Is that why I couldn't let them see it?

It seems reasonable to think about it this way. After all, it is the trump card of a program, and it must not be known to outsiders and the trump card must not be leaked easily.

"Ye Ran and Chen Kexin have already gotten off the car."

Cheng Xin pointed at the screen and asked Qiao Xi to look, and the girl followed his gaze.

On the screen.

Cheng Xin and Chen Kexin arrived at a house, but strangely, the door was ajar. It was already after sunset when they arrived at the station.

In the picture.

Ye Ran pushed open the door, but the boy's expression quickly changed.

"What's wrong?" Chen Kexin, who knew nothing, asked beside him.

When Ye Ran peeked inside, Chen Kexin's face turned pale in an instant, and he took several steps back, falling to the ground and trembling.

They opened the room.

Something slowly trickled out.

From the screen, it looked like a scarlet liquid, slowly seeping out. The picture turned, and the perspective showed the scene inside the room.

Even Cheng Xin's expression turned serious at this moment.

One could vaguely make out a child and an adult lying in a pool of blood.

Then the scene changed.

As if time had flown backwards, the sky quickly returned to before dusk. Before Ye Ran and Chen Kexin could recover from the sudden change, they found themselves standing downstairs at the apartment building, next to the woman who had led them there.

"Oh, that kid's mother is busy with work..."

The aunt chattered on and on.

Ye Ran suddenly came back to his senses and was shocked to find that this was what the aunt had said to them an hour ago.

Chen Kexin has not yet recovered from such a blow.

The girl's face was pale.

Seeing this, the old lady said a few words of concern.

"Thank you, we already know where it is. We can just go up by ourselves." Ye Ran said this quickly and rushed upstairs.

The old lady was left with a look of astonishment.

Time went back to an hour ago. Ye Ran rushed upstairs, and the moment Chen Kexin saw him running out, she hurried to follow him.

The two returned to the door of the room again.

However.

What I saw was a little girl with a bag on her back standing at the door.

Perhaps she didn't expect anyone to come, the little girl looked a little reserved, thinking they were people living here, so she quickly moved aside to make way.

Chen Kexin saw it at a glance.

This was the child who lay in a pool of blood an hour later.

They...caught up?

"Little girl, what are you doing here?" Ye Ran squatted down and asked in front of her.

"I...I'm waiting for my aunt to take me to find my mother."

The reserved little girl said.

This is her aunt's house. Her aunt lives alone. She came here on a trip and her family wanted to visit relatives, but she got lost. By chance, her aunt, who was on her way home from an outing, found her and brought her back.

then.

The first eyewitness was an elderly lady who was out buying groceries. She was brought here by her aunt.

Then.

My aunt wanted to get something, so she asked her to wait by the door.

But she accidentally bumped into the door, causing it to close, so she could only wait outside.

Chen Kexin didn't know what to say for a moment.

An hour later, both the little girl and the adults...

"Can we wait with you?" Ye Ran said this. The little girl looked at him warily, but still hesitated and nodded slightly in agreement.

Several people were waiting outside the door.

However, as time passed, there was no movement in the house. In the silence, an inexplicable ominous premonition came to Ye Ran's mind, and he gradually realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Break the door."

"What?"

He suddenly said this calmly, which startled Chen Kexin, who was standing beside him and was absent-minded.

Chen Kexin was not given any extra time to react.

Ye Ran made a quick decision and started to act. Chen Kexin was instantly overwhelmed and quickly grabbed his sleeve, trying to stop him.

"Are you crazy? We don't have any tools!"

However, the words had just fallen.

A crown appeared in Ye Ran's hand, and a reward notification appeared in the live broadcast room at this time. At the same time, the passengers' chat room also updated the announcement.

[System prompt: User (Big Rabbit is Sick) has gifted Passenger (Ye Ran) the King's Crown. Congratulations to User (Big Rabbit is Sick) for topping Passenger (Ye Ran)'s support list!]

In the chat room.

There was also an announcement briefly introducing the gifts given by top users.

(The crown symbolizes supreme power. Wearing it makes one seem omnipotent. It can only be used for two hours a day.)

The owner is Ye Ran.

When this reward notification appeared, the audience in the live broadcast room were almost all shocked, and the explosive growth of barrages quickly drowned out the original topic of discussion.

[Shui Guan Guan: Boss! Hug me!]

[Maishanshan: Big Brother Rabbit, are you still in need of a little brother Rabbit? Do you think I can do it?]

[The second rabbit looks at me: Don’t you have your own boss? Go away, don’t get involved. The boss is our boss!]

[Three Rabbits Picking Herbs: Our Boss!]

[Four Rabbits: Our boss! Follow the formation!]

[Six Rabbits: That's right, the big brothers above are all right! Don't you have your own boss?]

[Bai Gan Gan: She is so lame, Dame]

[Red Umbrella: Please be careful with your words, I'm watching!]

[Bai Gan Gan: But you are really lame. You couldn’t even handle a passenger’s younger brother. I am speechless…]

[Hongsansan: You, you you you! Woohoo, I’ll cry for you to see.]

The audience in the live broadcast room was in a joyful atmosphere.

Chen Kexin received the announcement and took out her mobile phone to check it out, and noticed the latest announcement.

See that line of text introduction.

I couldn't help but gasp. Omnipotent? So incredible! What kind of luck did Ye Ran have?

Woo woo woo, she felt a little sore.

but……

Thinking that the cage Mr. Long gave her as a reward was not bad, Chen Kexin quickly felt balanced. It can only be said that everyone has their own opportunities and blessings.

The only thing that seems to be happening is this.

Among the gifts that are specially introduced now, the shadow that Qiao Xi received before has the least presence, as if it is completely useless.

but.

This is other people's business, so she should not ask too much.

Chen Kexin thought so and collected her thoughts.

Ye Ran looked at the crown in his hand, glanced at the introduction on the screen, and put it on. Don't say it, he looked quite decent when wearing it, and seemed to be a little more handsome?

Chen Kexin glanced at it.

Urged: "Hurry up, open the door quickly!"

"Stop nagging me. Do you still need me to hurry you up?" Ye Ran didn't even glance at her. He grasped the doorknob and turned it. The door, which had been locked, miraculously opened.

However, before Chen Kexin could be happy.

The scene before her instantly froze the smile on her face.

Scarlet.

Spread out in vast, glaring colors. Splashed across the walls, seeping into the wooden floor. Wet hair, the pungent, rich smell of rust.

Like a glass doll.

It was broken into pieces.

"Auntie——!" The little girl's shrill and terrified scream rang out, but the tail end of her words was quickly drowned out by the air.

Chen Kexin, who was standing next to him, felt a chill on her back.

It was like something passed by quickly.

She turned her head sharply.

There was no trace of the little girl around. The child they were looking for was gone, disappearing right under their noses!

"Ye, Ye Ran..."

Chen Kexin's voice trembled a little.

She clearly saw the boy's hands clenched into fists, but before Chen Kexin could finish her words, her vision suddenly began to blur.

The world was spinning.

The familiar trance enveloped her again, making her consciousness dizzy.

Wait until this feeling disappears.

She opened her eyes suddenly.

It wasn't dusk, it looked like afternoon. Before them was the apartment building, and next to it was the old lady who had led them there.

"Kids, what do you want to ask?"

The old lady with a thick rural accent looked at them suspiciously, as if she was puzzled by being stopped just now.

wrong.

This was not the time when the aunt was leading them, but when they had just found the aunt and started asking questions.

time……

Pushed forward again?

Chen Kexin felt her limbs go cold, as if all her strength had been drained away. She had no idea how the rules of this station were formulated.

Ye Ran next to him seemed to have just come to his senses.

But he soon understood the situation. Looking at the old lady in front of him, he shook his head slightly and said, "Nothing, sorry to bother you."

The boy walked straight to the apartment building.

Chen Kexin reacted, bit her lip, and still took a step forward to catch up.

And this time.

They saw the little girl standing alone downstairs of the apartment building.

It's like a cycle.

They seemed to be trapped in this time. As long as the little girl died, they would return to the starting point. Chen Kexin clenched her hands, and cold sweat broke out on her back.

No matter what.

This time she has to keep an eye on the child and hold him tightly.

A new cycle.

Ye Ran and Chen Kexin both became much more cautious.

Inside the car.

Qiao Xi withdrew his gaze from the screen. Cheng Xin looked at such scenes appearing again and again, feeling confused.

at the same time.

There is still uncontrollable anger in my heart.

"They are such scoundrels! Not only did they not let the adults off, they also murdered such a young child! They are completely devoid of conscience!"

He didn't learn any words.

He can barely utter a single curse word, and the extent of his curse is limited.

"Can't I assist off-field this time? I want to go in."

Cheng Xin gritted his teeth.

He took out his cell phone and tagged Chen Kexin and Ye Ran in the chat room, saying that he would go in to help right away.

They carry cell phones.

Everyone is in the same chat room, so even after entering the site, they can chat and communicate.

What's more, Ye Ran and the others have been here since early morning.

It’s almost afternoon, and I feel like I’m trapped in a timeline, having gone through two cycles.

If it were any other time.

They were already exhausted physically and mentally, on the verge of collapse. However, within the site, they would not feel mentally exhausted until they broke through.

Cheng Xin sent a message.

However, Ye Ran and Chen Kexin had no time to watch at this time.

"There's no use worrying."

Qiao Xi held her chin with one hand, looked at the screen, and then looked at Cheng Xin who was staring at the phone without taking his eyes off it.

"But...it's really urgent to see them like this."

When Cheng Xin heard Qiao Xi's voice, he could only put away his phone and look away towards the girl.

"There will be progress."

Qiao Xi tilted her head slightly, and slid down lazily with her slender arms, looking a little absent-minded.

Cheng Xin was stunned.

His eyes subconsciously followed her movement as she slid onto the table, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Qiao Xi's braided hair.

Then.

I was a little surprised when I saw her snow-white neck.

"Qiao Xi."

Cheng Xin suddenly called her, and the girl just looked up lazily when she heard it.

"What's wrong?"

"Why are there traces of thread on the back of your neck? Like, uh... like sutures."

Cheng Xin said this dryly.

Some wondered if they were seeing things, but a little behind Qiao Xi's neck, there was a faint, almost negligible, suture-like mark weaving like a centipede on her neck.

It really exists.

The girl paused after hearing this. After a long silence, she tilted her eyes and smiled nonchalantly: "I was injured before, and I have a scar that won't go away. You've seen it very carefully."

"Huh? I...I didn't mean to look there."

Cheng Xin, who realized it belatedly, became anxious and began to explain to himself in a panic.

What kind of mouth is that!

Wrong thing again!

Cheng Xin realized belatedly that it was impolite to stare at others, and he felt annoyed. However, immersed in his own emotions, he did not notice that Qiao Xi in front of him had a thoughtful expression.

【When have you ever been hurt, and what was it? 】

The little white cat system in the space was confused.

Qiao Xi clearly didn't have this scar before. Now that it appeared, a closer look revealed that it had lines like leaf buds, occupying the same position.

It happened to be the spine on Qiao Xi's upper back.

The color was so light that it was almost unnoticeable. Only Cheng Xin had extraordinary physical strength and senses, so he could notice such clues on the exposed neck at a glance.

Qiao Xi didn't care much.

"Have you forgotten? When the shadow's power entered the body, it was forcibly squeezed in. The remaining power formed a relationship like a mark."

When the shadow was still there.

This means that she is being occupied by shadows, and things with the same mark will not appear.

However.

The shadow was devoured by Taotie, leaving no residual strength.

But after Qiao Xi came back.

But strangely, he dreamed of Fei and actually saw him.

And at that time, Fei extended his hand to her as if inviting her.

And she touched.

Fei touched her and hugged her. She fell into a sea of ​​red spider lilies, her wrists tightly grasped.

Oh right... wrist.

Qiao Xi avoided Cheng Xin's sight and quietly pulled down her long sleeves.

No surprises.

The slender wrist, as white and delicate as frost and snow, has a very faint circle, as if woven by the young buds of leaves.
