I want to make a deal with you
"When can we leave here? It's so dark and eerie, and there's a salty, sticky smell." Guan Zheng frowned and clutched the robe on Yan Chan's arm.
The four conch shells did not have much appeal to her.
She was already very satisfied after finding Yan Chan.
Guan Zheng looked up at Yan Chan, not knowing what she was thinking, and the corners of her mouth were pursed into a straight line.
"Once we get the four conch shells, we'll leave." Yan Chan explained, "Uncle Chen's arm... I've sought help from many doctors, but to no avail. Now I have no choice but to rely on..."
To be honest, she wasn't sure whether the Dragon God was real or not, but since it sounded so mysterious, she had to give it a try.
"I promise, as long as we get the four conchs, we will leave Fengdu Ghost Market immediately." Yan Chan stopped, pulled Guan Zheng into his arms and patted her back gently.
Guan Zheng moved her lips, but finally swallowed what she wanted to say and snuggled in Yan Chan's arms.
She remembered her previous life...The four conchs finally fell into Wu Chunlai's hands, but Guan Zheng didn't know where he got them from.
At that time, Wu Chunlai brushed the matter off in a few words, opened the door with his key, and took them away.
And as for the Yan Chan at that time... forget it.
As Guan Zheng thought about it, her fingers clenched the coat on Yan Chan's back and she hugged her back even tighter.
"I always feel that Wu Chunlai is a little weird lately." Yan Chan couldn't tell what was strange about him, but it seemed that the atmosphere around him was even colder.
Moreover, when she occasionally glanced at Wu Chunlai, she always felt that his expression was a little strange, but when he noticed that she was looking at him, he quickly returned to his usual state.
"Wu Chunlai." Guan Zheng was a little dazed when she heard his name. "He seems to be very close to Shi Guiyi recently...but they have always had a better relationship."
Guan Zheng knew very little about Wu Chunlai, either in his past life or this life.
He seemed to be deliberately hiding some secret that he didn't want them to know.
In her previous life, Guan Zheng devoted herself to Yan Chan and had no time to care about Wu Chunlai's affairs.
In this life...it's like cutting losses in time
"The weather is really nice today." A faint voice came from behind.
Yan Chan turned around suddenly, and anyone would be startled. It was obvious that there were only the two of them on this road. When did Gao Tinghan appear here? There was not even a sound of footsteps.
Guan Zheng subconsciously looked up at the unchanging sky shrouded in darkness.
"I said we would meet again." Gao Tinghan twisted his wrist. It seemed that it was not very flexible after touching the water just now.
There was even a slight crackling sound. Gao Tinghan caught this and couldn't laugh anymore.
"You're here this time...you're not going to ask me to do something for you again, are you?" Yan Chan took Guan Zheng away and took two steps back, saying with a somewhat impatient tone.
"Is my intention obvious?" Hearing this, Gao Tinghan shifted his gaze from his wrist in surprise to the mask on Yan Chan's face.
"But this time it's fair, it's an exchange."
"Time is running out. I can't stay here much longer."
"I will give you something you have always dreamed of as a reward. I believe you will come to Shiyatan to find me." He emphasized the four words "dreamlike" very much, as if he was deliberately emphasizing them.
There was an unfathomable smile on his lips. As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Tinghan's figure turned into smoke and disappeared in front of them.
"Yan Chan stretched out his hand but caught nothing, and the smoke melted into the darkness.
Suddenly, a crow on the dead tree flew away, and a feather fell to the ground.
"Do you want to go?" Guan Zheng looked at the black feather of the crow on the ground, and some bad memories emerged in her mind.
When she was pulled over by the ghost servant, the ground was also covered with black feathers.
"Go, why not." Yan Chan already had the answer in her heart. How could she let go of such a close opportunity?
Even my heart beat faster.
"It's okay, don't worry." Yan Chan held her hand and comforted her.
Then she squatted down, picked up the feather on the ground and rubbed it between her fingertips.
As soon as Gao Tinghan regained consciousness, he heard the noisy sound of spiders, which gave him a headache.
"Ah, you're back, you're finally back, the dagger almost disappeared again." The spider crawled all over his body and kept talking non-stop.
He put a little more strength into his hands; this was a long battle.
"Is the deduction still the same?" he asked casually. The answer or not was not that important to him.
Maybe just an excuse to chat with the spider.
Kill some boring time.
"Yeah." Spider nodded.
Gao Tinghan took out a wooden box from his arms and held it in one hand. This was something he brought out from the grave and was now useless to him.
"This is for you." He placed the wooden box beside him, then pinched the spider between two fingers and placed it on top.
"What's in here?" The spider knocked on the wooden box curiously and then clicked the gap that closed it.
The hair on the legs went in, but the legs couldn't get in.
"Relics." He said briefly, as if he didn't want to mention what was inside.
"What do I need clothes for?" The spider moved away from the wooden box in disgust.
Gao Tinghan twitched his lips and closed his eyes speechlessly. It turned out that Spider was not only illiterate but also half deaf.
Gao Tinghan was very regretful. He actually felt sorry for Spider just now.
But he had no intention of taking the things back.
It's better than being poached by others.
"Do you still have that candy with a unique flavor?" The spider grabbed his collar again and poked the throbbing spot on his neck.
"No more." He changed the subject, clenched his palms and said, "But the person with candy will be here soon."
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Yan Chan heard Gao Tinghan's voice as soon as she stepped onto the last step.
Yes, Stone Crow Pond is located in the center of the forbidden area. If she hadn't taken a feather, she might have been taken away by the ghost servant.
She saw Gao Tinghan half-squatting under the stone wall, seemingly doing something, with a faint green light leaking out from the gaps in his robe.
"Come here." He couldn't leave now, and he let go of some of the strength in his hands.
"This is... Wu Chunlai!" Yan Chan's tone suddenly rose. "What are you doing to him?"
"You should ask what was done to him." Gao Tinghan still had the leisure to talk to her, and his hand, which had just relaxed, was about to clench again.
This dagger is really getting more and more aggressive. As soon as he released his strength, he tried to slip away.
Yan Chan didn't want to argue with him, so she lifted her robe and squatted down.
"Since you're here, you must have agreed to a fair deal with me," he said straight to the point.
"My request is simple." He smiled faintly, "I want to switch bodies with you."
"!?" Guan Zheng suddenly tightened her grip on Yan Chan's hand. What an unreasonable request.
Even if Yan Chan agreed, she didn't want to agree.
"It's just half a day." Gao Tinghan looked at the nervous Guan Zheng with amusement, and then his expression disappeared when he saw how reluctant they were to part.
"?" Yan Chan was also a little confused, "What do you want my body for?"
"I'm going to the bottom of Stone Crow Pond. You've seen me, and I can't let go now. Let's 'swap' bodies. You hold on for me. As for why I chose you..." Gao Tinghan also saw Yan Chan's confusion, so he answered: "Your body has accommodated souls from other worlds before, and there was no rejection reaction. I think it will be no problem for you to accommodate mine too."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Chan couldn't cover Gao Tinghan's mouth, but she could block Guan Zheng's ears.
Her eyes were wandering, but Gao Tinghan could see that she was not from this world.
"......" Gao Tinghan shut up. He wanted to say something else.
Guan Zheng was startled by her sudden action and looked at Yan Chan suspiciously, wondering why she covered her ears.
Of course, he also had selfish motives. He didn't want to go down with this body.
Gao Tinghan knew very well that benefits could move people's hearts. If he failed to impress her, it meant that the conditions he offered were not attractive enough.
He opened his palm upwards, and the shadow of a key appeared in front of the two people. It was a special key, shaped like a conch.
"The Four Conch Shells, the Key to Atlantis." He didn't withdraw his hand, letting the key float in his palm. "Do you want it?"
"Why are the four conchs here with you?" Yan Chan stared at his palm in a daze.
"It is rumored that the Four Conch Shells are hiding in Fengdu Ghost Market, and I am also in Fengdu Ghost Market. How can it not be considered... in Fengdu Ghost Market?" He chuckled twice.
"Did you spread the news that the Four Sea Conches have appeared in the world?!" Yan Chan then raised her head and looked at him with a dazed look in her eyes.
The current chaotic Fengdu Ghost Market is also due to him.
"What do you want to do? Resurrect the Ghost King or the Wanfang Realm?" she asked again.
Isn't that what's written in the storybooks? The villain destroys heaven and earth to revive his lover? Yan Chan looked at him again, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
She still remembered Gao Tinghan wiping tears in front of Wanfangjie's tombstone! Could it be that...?
Yan Chan pursed her lips and didn't dare to ask.
Gao Tinghan hadn't expected Yan Chan to be so perceptive. He asked, "Will you do this deal?"
"This is also a life-or-death business, right?" Yan Chan supported his head and weighed the value of this transaction.
"In Fengdu Ghost Market, you bet money, life, and humanity. This is the rule. Naturally, Si Hailuo will use his most precious life in exchange." He felt that this deal was not a loss, and it was even a huge profit for Yan Chan.
If he put himself in their shoes, he would naturally agree without hesitation.
Opportunities are often accompanied by risks.
"Okay, I promise you." Yan Chan thought of the answer after a short while and turned to look at the dagger in Gao Tinghan's hand.
"Yan Chan..." Guan Zheng looked at her worriedly. She didn't want anything to happen to Yan Chan.
"It'll be okay." Gao Tinghan said for Yan Chan.
"Be prepared, hold the dagger tightly, and don't let it escape..." Gao Tinghan warned worriedly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Chan felt as if her soul was in a trance for a moment, and then she found that something in her hand was shrinking, so she quickly clenched it.
I didn't expect it would take so much effort. I really don't know how Gao Tinghan could be so calm and chat with her just now.
