Chapter 158 No One Like You
Wang Wenwen's face had turned a little pale at this moment.
He looked at Jian Yue almost in disbelief. Jian Yue looked at him with a smile. The two looked at each other, as if invisible smoke was spreading in the air.
Wang Wenwen said: "If you don't hand over the props to me, you won't be able to save Aya and Nangongxi's lives."
Jian Yue said: "Who told you that I must save them?"
Wang Wenwen said calmly: "You don't have to lie to me, I know you won't ignore them."
Jian Yue smiled and said, "If it was Nangong Xi, it would be fine. At least she and I have some friendship on Hope Island. Aya and I are just casual acquaintances at best. We have been through a few dungeons together. What makes you think that I will definitely save her?"
Wang Wenwen looked at Jian Yue. He knew that if Jian Yue was ruthless, he might really just ignore it.
to be honest.
After being with Jian Yue for such a long time, he found that he really couldn't understand Jian Yue. You could say that he was loyal and righteous, but at the critical moment, he could protect himself. You could say that he was selfish and acted alone, but he would also consider the safety of his teammates.
Wang Wenwen looked at Jian Yue and said, "Actually, there is one thing I'm curious about."
Jian Yue said: "Go ahead."
"How did you find out?" Wang Wenwen was puzzled. "I don't think I have revealed anything."
Jian Yue said to him: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with you in many aspects. You even deceived me when we were on Hope Island. The only one who exposed you was Nangong Xi."
Wang Wenwen raised her eyebrows, a little unconvinced.
"You may not know." Jian Yue said, "Nangong Xi not only has a good memory, but also likes to play cosplay. She said that many of her clothes are made by herself, so she always pays special attention to other people's clothes. When she was in Hope Island, she would remember the styles of other people's clothes, so she knew that Wang Wenwen especially liked to tuck one corner of her clothes into her pants and take the other corner out."
From the beginning.
Of course Jian Yue didn't notice it.
It all started when Nangong Xi accidentally told him about Wang Wenwen’s recent changes in clothing during a meal.
Since then, Jian Yue began to pay attention.
After hearing this, Wang Wenwen's face twisted. He said, "Just because of these things, it's not a big deal for ordinary people to change their dressing habits."
Jian Yue said, "Of course not only that. Wang Wenwen used to be a rich second-generation idiot, but he also said that he was basically spoiled at home. In order to test you, I specially assigned your work to the kitchen. After observing for a while, I found that you do things very naturally, without any unfamiliarity. This is not the performance of a rich young master like Wang Wenwen."
When these words came out, "Wang Wenwen"'s face looked very bad.
Jian Yue looked at him and said, "Now, you can tell me where you locked Wang Wenwen and the others up."
He asked, "Did you ever think that I killed them?"
Jian Yue smiled softly: "It is not allowed to kill players directly in the copy. If I am not mistaken, your card skill is to copy other people's card skills. You must keep them alive so that you can continue to copy their skills."
After hearing this, Wang Wenwen finally laughed, and her laugh was somewhat evil: "You are very smart. I finally understand why others were defeated by you."
Jian Yue said frankly: "It's not that I'm smart, it's that you're too greedy. People who are too greedy are likely to expose themselves."
"Wang Wenwen" said with some temptation: "It's not that I'm greedy, it's that they are greedy too. They are afraid of death and will be used by me. In this world, the strong are respected. Only the strong have the right to live. Butler Wang, you are also a smart person. If you and I join forces, I promise you will get more."
Jian Yue said: "You are wrong. There is nothing wrong with being afraid of death. Everyone in this world is afraid of death. Everyone has the right to live, and you have no right to decide for others."
"Wang Wenwen" sneered and said, "Is this your answer? Then I will tell you, I have this right. Even if I don't tell you, you can't do anything to me."
Jian Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is that so?"
"Wang Wenwen" gradually had an ominous premonition in Jian Yue's eyes.
Jian Yue clapped his hands, and several people came from the passage not far away. Aya and Nangong Xi came in with the directors of the program team who were tied up together.
The director and several others had their mouths sealed with tape, and were stammering as they tried to speak.
"Wang Wenwen"'s face changed, and she seemed a little surprised why they were still here.
Jian Yue said, "These should be your companions. I thought carefully about how those newcomers could be locked up in the basement under the cruise ship. After thinking about it, I can only think that the director and the captains colluded to do this."
"Wang Wenwen" said: "If you openly kill players, you will be wanted by the Nightmare World."
"Who told you I was going to kill them?" Jian Yue said, "Tell me where Wang Wenwen and the others are, and I will give you the map of the passage. Otherwise, I can guarantee that you will never find the entrance to the passage."
He said it very frankly, but no one doubted the truth of it.
The smile on Wang Wenwen's face could no longer be maintained.
Nangong Xi, who was not far away, added fuel to the fire: "My transformation card can transform into a large animal. If I accidentally bump into a wall when I go out, and you are buried here, you can't blame me!"
It can be considered as following suit.
The nightmare world does not allow the killing of players, but the point of judgment is very difficult to determine.
The director and his men also had faces filled with fear, some of them were shaking with fear. They were originally single owners who came to buy the cards, and the "Extinct Monster" organization had promised to protect their safety, but now they had all been caught!
Jian Yue said to Aya, "Remove the tape from their mouths."
Aya tore it apart.
As soon as he was able to catch his breath, the director cursed: "What are you still hesitating about? Tell them quickly, we can't die, we are your boss, how can you be so useless that you can't even beat these newcomers? When I get out, I will file a complaint against you, I will..."
Wang Wenwen's expression couldn't get any worse. He cursed, "Shut up!"
It was much quieter around.
The audience in Jian Yue's live broadcast room were already overjoyed:
"Um?"
"Hahaha what kind of plot is this."
"I saw the extinct monsters quarreling with their sponsors."
"You can't see such a dramatic plot anywhere else!"
"No, this is really too funny."
“I’m going to share this on the forum.”
"This seems to be the first Waterloo of the extinct monster in history, right?"
You have to know that this group has always been hated by everyone, but there is no way to stop it, because this group of people and their buyers are omnipresent, and they appear in groups, making it difficult to guard against them.
And now.
Not only were the extinct monsters dealt with, but even their upstream suppliers were captured!
"Wang Wenwen" said to Jian Yue, "I have locked them up in the basement of the mayor's house in this small town. If you want to rescue them, go ahead. Now let these people go."
Jian Yue gave Nangong Xi a look.
Nangong Xi turned around and walked out.
Jian Yue walked up to Aya and said, "Sister Ya, I gave Li Lele the correct map when I came down. He should have prepared his puppet costume by now. When Nangong Xi comes back, you can leave the dungeon through the passage."
Aya immediately asked: "What about you, aren't you going with us?"
Jian Yue shook his head and said, "I want to wait for someone."
Aya subconsciously wanted to ask who she was waiting for, as no one seemed to be coming. However, after meeting Jian Yue's eyes, she realized something a little late.
When Jian Yue turned to leave, Aya said, "I understand."
"Leave this to me." Aya said, "Go with peace of mind."
There was no need for too many words, as many things had already been said without words. He had already done the most to help them since he entered this copy, and now, he had to get busy for himself.
Jian Yue nodded to her and said, "Thank you."
He walked back the way he had come.
The mountains outside were desolate and the wind seemed to be filled with the smell of blood.
When Jian Yue came up from the entrance, the mountain was still filled with screams. He sat on the stone at the entrance and thought quietly, but it seemed like he was not thinking about anything, because Ji Huaiyu asked him to wait, and he said he would believe him, so he kept waiting.
The wind was howling on the mountain, and there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes hidden in the surrounding grass, rustling, as if dangerous beasts might pounce out from it at any time.
Time passes by little by little.
Jian Yue was still sitting on the stone, his fingertips unconsciously stroking his ring, just sitting there quietly.
Until footsteps were heard on a path not far away.
In the mountain breeze.
Jian Yue turned his head and saw a man walking slowly towards him on the path not far away. Ji Huaiyu was wearing a suit and leather shoes. There were some bloodstains and mud on his clothes, but it did not affect the man's handsome features at all. His eyes were deep as he met Jian Yue's gaze as he sat on the stone.
Ji Huaiyu asked: "How long have you been waiting for me?"
Jian Yue looked at him, smiled gently and said, "Not long."
Ji Huaiyu bent down, held his hand and said, "Your hands are so cold."
Jian Yue said: "Just cover me up and it won't be cold anymore."
But Ji Huaiyu's hands were also very cold and bloody, but Jian Yue still held his hands tightly.
Ji Huaiyu held his hand and whispered, "It's dangerous here. I'll take you down the mountain."
Jian Yue nodded: "Okay, let's go together."
Ji Huaiyu fulfilled his promise and he would take him away from here to a safe place.
Jian Yue was led by his hand and walked back, but after a few steps, he groaned. Ji Huaiyu looked back at him and said, "What's wrong?"
"Feet..." Jian Yue smiled and said, "Maybe you've been sitting for too long, and the blood circulation in your feet is blocked."
Ji Huaiyu squatted down and carried him on his back.
Jian Yue was carried on his shoulders. He leaned against him as if he was a little tired and whispered, "Xiao Yu, is there anything you want to do after we leave here?"
Ji Huaiyu's pace was steady. He said, "There's nothing I want to do."
Pause.
He said, “But I can do it with you.”
Jian Yue smiled gently and said, "Don't you want to marry me?"
Ji Huaiyu held him tighter, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "You are still young."
Jian Yue was dissatisfied: "I told you that you have to learn to be a little more selfish."
Ji Huaiyu walked and walked with him on his back.
Jian Yue then said softly: "You've never actually thought about marrying me, right?"
Ji Huaiyu paused, his thin lips slightly pursed, but he did not speak, just continued walking forward.
The person on his back seemed to sigh softly.
Jian Yue said: "You know, sometimes, I really hate you, Xiaoyu."
Ji Huaiyu paused. No matter what Jian Yue said before, he didn't respond. But just a simple sentence made him stop moving, as if he was fixed in place.
"I hate you for always wanting to abandon me." Jian Yue said, "But every time I want to hate you, love comes before hate. I can't hate you."
Ji Huaiyu opened his mouth to speak.
Jian Yue said, "Put me down."
Ji Huaiyu put the person down from his back, and Jian Yue took his hand, and the two of them clasped hands together.
Jian Yue looked at his hand and said, "What are your plans after you send me down the mountain?"
Ji Huaiyu said: "I will accompany you, protect you, will not let you get hurt, and will make you happy."
Jian Yue looked up at him. After he reached out and stroked Ji Huaiyu's face, he smiled gently: "That's what he told you, right?"
The person in front of me didn't speak.
"As expected of the King of Puppets." Jian Yue said, "It's almost impossible to tell the difference between the puppets he made and ordinary living people."
Ji Huaiyu's eyes were deep and he looked at him calmly.
Jian Yue said: "Do you know how I found out?"
"I noticed it from the first time we met." Jian Yue pointed to his pocket: "He never leaves the puppet prayer card I gave him."
But this puppet doesn't have that.
Ji Huaiyu made a puppet that no one in the world could tell the difference between, but he was defeated by his own selfishness.
Puppet people have no thoughts and no desires.
But Ji Huaiyu had them. He had things and people that he was reluctant to give up. Once he had these thoughts, he had weaknesses and flaws.
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Thank you for accompanying me here."
The puppet said: "My master told me to protect you when you get down the mountain and back to the boat. He said he would protect you and give you happiness..."
Jian Yue said: "But do you know what happiness is?"
The puppet shook his head slowly.
"Happiness is when I feel happy." Jian Yue said: "For me now, I will be happy only when I see that he is okay."
There was a rare hint of doubt in the puppet's eyes when he looked at Jian Yue. Perhaps this passage was too difficult for him to understand.
Jian Yue smiled at him and said, "Thank you. Now tell me how to find him, okay? This will be considered as helping me."
*
On the top of the mountain
Countless corpses and blood flowed like a river.
The entire altar was filled with a red, bloody smell, and after the earthquake the entire mountain seemed to be shrouded in the breath of death.
The dishevelled man standing in front of Ji Huaiyu pointed at Ji Huaiyu and said, "Huaiyu, Master has been pretty good to you over the years, right? Now get out of the way, and we won't interfere with each other. Otherwise, don't blame Master for being merciless to your men."
Ji Huaiyu stood in front of the stone tablet, blood flowing under his feet, but the man standing among the corpses was still dressed cleanly. He looked calmly and said, "After so many years, Master finally came back."
Ji Quan sneered and said, "You've always wanted to see me, haven't you? Over the years, you've sent your men to look for me everywhere. Whenever there's any trace of the puppet, you've chased me down, causing me to live like a rat crossing the street every day!"
Ji Huaiyu looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Master, if you have done nothing wrong, why would you be afraid to see me?"
"Something I feel guilty about?" Ji Quan said, "Do I need to explain to you what I did? I just wanted a puppet cone back then, and they all tried to stop me. If they hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have died!"
Ji Huaiyu looked at the man in front of him who looked a little crazy, and said slowly: "So, you really killed them all."
Ji Quan was silent for a moment. The mountain wind blew over him. He laughed softly and said, "So what? So what? There has been an earthquake and the stone tablet has been broken. My sacrificial formation has been completed. The spiritual energy here has been sealed under the altar. The puppet cone has also been buried in the spiritual vein. No one can do anything to me anymore!"
Ji Huaiyu said calmly: "Really?"
"I really can't unlock the seal of the sacrifice." Ji Huaiyu said.
Ji Quan was just about to feel proud.
Ji Huaiyu said: "But, I can disperse all the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein. Master, have you forgotten that I am the tree spirit nurtured by the spiritual vein of this mountain? I can control the spiritual vein here."
Ji Quan's smile slowly froze on his face. He cursed angrily, "According to ancient records, the spiritual vein on this mountain can survive for at least a few thousand years. It's you who has been dissipating the spiritual energy. Why?!"
Ji Huaiyu said: "Because only in this way can we force you to come out."
Ji Quan said without thinking: "Are you crazy? What's the point of forcing me to come out? If you disperse your spiritual veins, you will die too!"
Ji Huaiyu looked at his frantic appearance and said calmly, "I am their senior brother and the apprentice of the master's wife. They all trust me. The puppets in the clan are still waiting for their master to return. If I don't catch you, I can't explain to them."
Ji Quan angrily cursed: "You are just a puppet, a thing without a heart, what do you need to explain to them?"
He kept cursing.
But he felt something was wrong around the altar.
The hot air rose slowly and continuously, and the fog in the mountains became thicker and thicker. This was a sign of the flourishing spiritual energy. As the spiritual energy in the mountains became more and more abundant, Ji Quan realized with some panic that this was the only remaining spiritual energy of all the sealed spiritual veins in the altar.
When these spiritual energies dissipate.
The trees on the mountain slowly turned back into ordinary trees. From then on, even if there was green grass, no new puppets would appear.
“Stop!” Ji Quan yelled angrily, “Are you crazy? Come on, catch him and get him out of here!”
The corpse puppets lying on the ground stiffly climbed up under Ji Quan's manipulation, and they crawled towards Ji Huaiyu step by step.
Ji Huaiyu raised his foot and kicked them. Some of the puppets had completely lost their minds when they attacked. Ji Huaiyu simply stepped over them and walked towards Ji Quan step by step on the blood.
"Don't come over here!" Ji Quan threatened again, "You know I can't die! My original body is not in this body. As long as the puppet and my soul are still here, I can change my body at any time. I can't die!"
He yelled.
The words that were about to be cursed were strangled.
Ji Huaiyu grabbed his neck with his hands, stared at him with his dark eyes, and said, "If I can't kill the puppet in your body, I will kill all puppets. Ji Quan, you can't live."
Ji Quan's eyes widened, his face flushed red, and he said through his teeth: "Madman, you are absolutely crazy, do you want to die with me? You will die too... You are unlucky... No one will save you... I can change my body and escape now..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
In a pool of blood and a sea of corpses.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard not far away, and a clear female voice came from the stone tablet not far away, saying, "Butler Wang! I knocked the stone tablet open!"
Ji Quan was stunned to see an elephant talking.
Jian Yue was kneeling at the stone tablet, digging at something. His hands were bleeding from being rubbed by stones and some broken objects, and his clothes were dirty. He was kneeling in the ruins, his hands covered in blood, surrounded by rich spiritual energy.
There is a curse on the stone tablet since ancient times, which prohibits people with evil intentions from opening the tablet and taking the awl.
He stretched out his hand and pulled out a black object from under the stone tablet. In an instant, the object was stained red by the blood in Jian Yue's palm, but it was glowing red.
Jian Yue's voice was a little hoarse, but he spoke clearly in the dark: "Li Lele."
Ji Quan wanted to get rid of this body. As long as this body died, he could immediately change the puppet, and no one would be able to catch him or find him.
“Here!” Li Lele rushed to Ji Quan at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. They didn’t even know where he came from. He shouted as he ran: “Hanging the card will save more people, hanging the card will save more people!!”
Everyone saw a blurry golden light.
Ji Quan found that he couldn’t die! He couldn’t die at all!
He looked up.
It was Ji Huaiyu who was looking at him with cold eyes.
There was also Jian Yue walking towards him covered in blood. Ji Quan saw the puppet spike and felt that something was wrong. He suddenly broke free and controlled the puppet beside him to stab his heart.
Ji Quan smiled, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He said, "You can't catch me..."
The words haven’t been finished yet.
Jian Yue knelt beside Ji Huaiyu and stabbed Ji Quan's shoulder with the puppet awl in his hand. Under Ji Quan's shocked gaze, he stabbed the other side, piercing several major acupoints of the three souls and seven orifices.
Ji Quan said in disbelief: "You...how could you..."
Jian Yue's face was covered in blood. He said slowly, "I got the puppet secret book left by your ancestors. It records the method of sealing the soul with the puppet cone. Ji Quan, you killed so many people. Now, you should go down there and make amends to them."
His hand holding the puppet cone couldn't stop shaking.
Every time he used the natural magic treasure, he would consume a huge amount of energy. He didn't have the strength to stab it for the last time.
When the cone is about to fall.
Someone caught the awl and hammered it into Ji Quan's last acupoint.
The blood on Ji Huaiyu's hand flowed together with Jian Yue's blood. Jian Yue's strength was almost exhausted. He looked at Ji Huaiyu and said softly, "I came too late, didn't I?"
"No." Ji Huaiyu hugged the person in his arms. He looked at his handsome and thin face and whispered, "You shouldn't have come back."
The mountain wind blew, bringing coolness. There were thunders in the sky and a little rain fell.
Ji Huaiyu, however, shielded the person in his arms tightly to prevent him from getting wet by the rain. He said, "After the spiritual energy on the mountain dissipates, his body will slowly lose its power. Even if he escapes now, he won't live long."
Jian Yue looked at the person in front of him, smiled gently and said, "I know."
I know.
This is something you have carefully planned for a long time. Since you are confident, you will not fail.
"I just don't want to leave you alone to face all this at the end." Jian Yue hugged Ji Huaiyu with his last bit of strength. Water drops rolled down his neck. He leaned against Ji Huaiyu and whispered softly in his ear: "Xiaoyu, you know, I told your puppet that it recognized you because of the blessing card, but it wasn't true. I recognized you the moment we met."
"How could I be wrong? You are not a puppet, you are my love." He said, "There is no one like you."
