Chapter 52: Yinghu Park (V)
Qin Jiang's mind suddenly went blank.
At this moment, she couldn't see everything around her, but she could feel the airflow from the other party slowly sinking down until it reached... the same level as her.
——The other person is bending down to observe her!
Qin Jiang's teeth chattered and he bit his teeth hard to stop the urge to run away.
Her body stiffened, her scalp numbed, and her heartbeat suddenly became so violent that it sounded like a drum.
——The first person to find her was actually a monster!
How could her luck be so bad?!
What should I do if I encounter a monster? What do the rules say?
Qin Jiang tried hard to recall, but at this moment he could only remember a few fragments.
Her memory was considered good among ordinary people, but it was not good enough to memorize all the rules in such a short time!
Sweat oozed from Qin Jiang's forehead, his lips slightly opened, and his breathing became rapid.
She faced the monster silently through a red veil, and she didn't dare to imagine what would happen next.
Will she die? Will she be eaten by a monster?
That short minute seemed as long as if she had stepped into a frozen eternity, and hundreds of tragic ways of dying popped up in her mind.
…and then the monster left.
Qin Jiang felt the huge airflow suddenly withdrawn, and the footsteps sounded again, but they ran to the right and quickly disappeared from her hearing range. She was stunned.
Actually... just let her go like this? ?
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief!
That’s great, that’s great!
But after she was thankful, she fell into deep thought - why?
The monsters obviously participated in the game just as they had guessed, and the monster just now should have played the role of the groom, right?
Why didn't it just come up and ask her "Can I uncover it?", but instead observed her and finally walked away in giving up?
Could it be that the monsters can't tell the difference between the player and the monster bride, and they also need to make a judgment?
Qin Jiang was thinking when he heard the second set of footsteps.
This time the footsteps came from right in front of her.
At first, the footsteps were at a jogging pace, but suddenly, the other party seemed to have discovered her and ran towards her quickly and with a clear goal.
Qin Jiang's heartbeat immediately began to speed up again and he became very nervous.
Is it a player or a monster again this time?
It couldn't be that she encountered monsters twice in a row, her luck would be really bad!
Fortunately, this time the other party stopped in front of her. She only heard the other party's breathing, but did not feel any huge strange airflow.
More importantly, she was very familiar with this panting sound!
The next second, Lu Bin's voice rang out. He carefully pretended to talk to himself: "Okay, it seems to be Jiang Jiang?"
Qin Jiang was delighted.
It's really him!
Lu Bin did not get her response, so he was not as excited as she was, but remained as cautious as usual.
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something and jumped four times on the spot - this was the secret signal they had agreed upon!
After the dance, he said in a tone that seemed to be embarrassed by himself: "It seems to be quite unnecessary..."
Qin Jiang pursed his lips and smiled.
She relaxed her body and was no longer nervous. It was a pity that her face was blocked by the red veil, otherwise Lu Bin would have seen how happy she was.
Lu Bin cleared his throat and came up to her.
Through the small field of vision under the red veil, Qin Jiang saw Lu Bin's feet, which were wearing red cloth shoes like hers.
The groom's bright red wedding suit fell all the way to his ankles, smooth and fitted.
Qin Jiang strangely had a feeling that she was really getting married with Lu Bin at this moment. They did not seem to be in a dungeon, but in a wedding hall. Fear and uneasiness receded like the tide, and only a sense of security remained.
Lu Bin murmured, "That should be right. A monster shouldn't be able to pretend to be this real... If it can really pretend to be this real, then I can only admit defeat..."
After saying this, he seemed to have made up his mind, and finally asked her solemnly: "Can I reveal it?"
Qin Jiang couldn't help but want to laugh at this guy's stupidity at this moment.
She opened her mouth and answered without hesitation: "——Yes!"
The moment she made the sound, she heard Lu Bin's exhalation, and he completely confirmed her identity.
A fiery red wedding scale was inserted into her red veil and slowly lifted up.
Qin Jiang's vision began to expand slowly.
She saw Lu Bin's legs and his other hand hanging by his side.
The hand was slightly clenched into a fist, as if it was also nervous and excited.
She saw his waist, his chest, and his neck—
Everything was as familiar to her as ever, and Qin Jiang suddenly felt her eyes sore.
After the copy came, although she acted decisively and boldly, she was actually unsure of her whereabouts.
Now that she and Lu Bin have successfully recognized each other, has the biggest crisis between them been resolved?
Ah, I really want to leave the copy game as soon as possible.
She wanted to go back to school with him, to say goodbye to him in front of the dormitory building as she had done in the past three hundred days and nights, and then meet him again the next day as she had done in the past three hundred days and nights.
She wanted to live well, well—
Qin Jiang is not a sentimental person, but at this moment he becomes emotional.
Perhaps it was the life-and-death crisis that caused her mood to fluctuate drastically. She was even a little embarrassed to raise her head and let Lu Bin see her red eyes.
But the red veil had been completely lifted up. Lu Bin exhaled and asked her with a smile: "Why are you lowering your head? Are you crying?"
"Are you touched that I found you so quickly?" the boy teased.
Qin Jiang sniffed and curled his lips in annoyance.
Look how proud he is. Who was the one who was hesitating and trembling over there just now?
He dared to tease her, he was dead!
Qin Jiang raised his head——
Then she saw a blank face with only a mouth and no other facial features.
The only mouth on the smooth surface of the ball of flesh opened and closed, uttering Lu Bin's voice: "Jiang Jiang, stop crying."
"We can all be freed now, what's there to cry about?"
——
Qin Jiang's facial expression instantly twisted into one of extreme fear.
The blood color suddenly faded from her face, and in her trembling black pupils, a huge ball of flame ignited with a bang, enveloping the "boy" in front of her.
"I have taken off your red veil, and from now on we are husband and wife."
The mouth grinned, opening wide.
"We will live happily ever after!"
There was a momentary substitution in the flames.
The monster without facial features disappeared, and Lu Bin appeared among them.
Lu Bin was running to the edge of the woods one second ago, and the next second everything went dark and he appeared here.
He saw Qin Jiang in front of him with a shocked look on his face. Before he could ask what was going on, he found himself being burned by flames, with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open.
Flames rushed into his mouth, his skin instantly shrank, charred and festered, revealing his bright red flesh. His eyes were bloodshot and he screamed silently.
Yet he couldn't move, and neither could she.
One of them was standing, confused and in pain; the other was sitting, fearful and desperate.
Qin Jiang's tears flowed down.
Until this moment, she didn't know where she was.
But she could no longer speak. She could only sit there quietly, watching Lu Bin, also quietly, bending towards her with a distorted and painful face and flames all over his body.
In just a few seconds, Lu Bin's head was almost burned into a skull.
The two rows of teeth were still clenching uncontrollably, and a drowning sound came from his throat: "We... gulp... we will be together forever..."
"...Gu...we can't separate..."
The fire dyed everything around red.

11:32
The river runs through the dark woods.
A few minutes ago, he was teleported to the initial position, which was actually very close to the edge of the woods. He could clearly see the lawn outside through the overlapping shadows of the trees.
But Jiang He was really anxious to find Su Mingyun, so he hesitated for a moment and did not go out to check the candle array as the four grooms had agreed beforehand, but ran directly into the depths of the woods.
At this moment, he pushed aside the weeds blocking his way and came to an open space. On a stone in the middle of the open space... sat a bride covered with a red veil!
Jiang He was cheered up.
He finally found one!
The bride sat there quietly with her back straight and posture upright.
Jiang He's footsteps were heavy, but she didn't react.
...Did the bride's rules stipulate that they couldn't move or speak at all?
Jiang He thought about it and walked around the bride.
The bride is quite tall, at least 1.7 meters tall. She doesn’t look like Su Mingyun, but more like Mu Yu or Hong Yang.
...Or is it a monster?
Jiang He shrank back, looked at the time on his phone, pursed his lips, and turned around and ran away.
This time he ran straight out of the woods.
As soon as he came out, Jiang He felt something was wrong with his whole body. He felt panicky and his breathing became very nervous.
He thought it was just his own psychological effect, until he ran to the branch in the open space, peeled off the two sticky notes stuck on it, and saw Lu Zhongnian's message, then he knew what was going on.
So this is the feeling of near death!
Also, Lu Zhongnian has already blown out a candle? !
Jiang He couldn't help but look towards the love candle array.
This one glance made him see a very strange situation——
A candle is burning.
The moment he saw it, it suddenly went out automatically.
Jiang He was stunned.
...was it blown out by the wind?
He quickly took out his sticky note and pen and wrote:
1. At 11:35, a lit candle in the candle array went out automatically.
2. Walk straight into the center of the grove, there is an open space with a bride. Could it be Mu Yu or Hong Yang?
Signed Jiang He.
He tore off the sticky note and stuck it on a branch.
Regarding the love weight exchange scale, Jiang He felt that there was no need to waste time trying it. What kind of love could there be between him and Su Mingyun? They just met today.
This thing can only be given to Qin Jiang and Lu Bin, the real couple. At worst, the other two male pairs might be able to try their brotherhood and maybe they can get away with it.
So he turned around and wanted to go back to the woods.
But at this moment, he casually glanced in the direction of the park entrance and was surprised to find that Li Mingke was waving at him desperately, as if calling him over.
…The five-minute time limit seems to leave some time.
Jiang He hesitated and ran over.
Li Mingke kept shouting something at him at the gate. When he ran closer, he was shocked to find that he could not hear Li Mingke's voice at all!
He wanted to go out and listen but couldn't because the invisible wall appeared again, blocking the two of them!
Upon seeing this, Li Mingke immediately lowered his head and typed on his phone. He raised his phone, but his memo was also blank.
Jiang He shook his head nervously: "No, I can't see it!"
Li Mingke took a breath and pointed to his lips.
"You want me to see the shape of my lips?"
Li Mingke was also trying hard to look at his mouth.
When he heard him say this, he nodded immediately.
Jiang He was confused: "...How do I tell the shape of my lips?"
Li Mingke tried hard to open his mouth and lip shape, while Jiang He recognized and read:
"Can I...what...enter...can I enter the park?"
"Can you see Lin... midnight? After midnight? What after midnight? Faintly... Microsoft... the future?"
"——You can enter the park and see the future after midnight?!" Jiang He was shocked again.
Li Mingke nodded quickly and continued speaking.
Jiang He swallowed, looked at Li Mingke's mouth with sweat, and gradually felt creepy.
"11:22... corresponds to the world at 0:00... in the future there is... a monster... with you... and me? There is a monster with me?! Who is it?"
Li Mingke's mouth opened and closed.
Jiang He's breathing became rapid.
...Lu Bin?
Lu Bin will become a monster? No, it should be said... Lu Bin will be replaced by a monster?!
Li Mingke was still telling him to be careful, not only against Lu Bin, but also against a strange man.
The rivers are becoming increasingly chaotic.
There is also a strange man? Who is he? An NPC?
But NPCs aren't everywhere, which one should he be careful of?
And shouldn't NPCs be able to attack players for no reason?
At this moment, Li Mingke's face suddenly changed and he pointed behind him.
Jiang He turned around and saw that an NPC had lit another candle.
He cursed and ran over quickly.
At this time, he was already feeling very dying. His face was pale and he was exhausted. After running over there, he didn't get too close. He just bent down and blew out a breath.
He successfully blew out the flame.
Jiang He supported his knees and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he did not notice that although the flame was out, the candle wick still retained a hint of scarlet.
The moment he lowered his head to breathe a sigh of relief, the flame suddenly reignited and came back to life.
Jiang He raised his head and saw this scene. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly moved closer and blew again -
However, this time, the flame was only blown sideways for a moment by the airflow.
Jiang He was confused.
He thought he didn't blow hard enough, so he took a deep breath and blew again, but the flame still didn't go out! He blew again, but it still didn't work!
After trying several times, he found that the candle became impossible to blow out!
how so?
The feeling of near death was about to kill Jiang He. His heart was beating wildly and cold sweat was pouring down his face. He had no choice but to run back to the tree branch and quickly wrote:
"Another candle was lit, and I blew it once, but it didn't blow out completely, and the candle reignited, and then I couldn't blow it out at all. I'm sorry."
"Something is going on with Li Mingke. We are separated from him by a wall, and it is difficult to communicate. He said he can enter the park, but what he sees after entering is the future after midnight. 11:22 on our side corresponds to 0 o'clock on the other side. He told us to be careful-"
When Jiang He wrote this, he suddenly thought that Lu Bin might have turned into a monster. It was possible that it would come out and see the note he left. Then they would not be able to take advantage of the information gap and kill the other party when he was not paying attention.
Although he didn't know how to kill the monster yet...
Jiang He turned his pen and wrote "He told us to be careful of a strange man, not sure if he was referring to an NPC or something else."
After he finished writing, he signed his name, inserted the sticky note, and quickly ran back to the woods.
*
Li Mingke sat on the ground outside the park, feeling somewhat exhausted.
Running back and forth between the two timelines and communicating with Jiang He with gestures and excitement made him feel tired.
The only thing he was thankful for was that when he was forced to step into the park again due to the feeling of impending death, the monster that was guarding the park entrance last time had disappeared.
And now, he has successfully passed the news that "Lü Bin has turned into a monster" to the players in the park...
Then they should be able to take action in time, and the "future" will be changed, right...?
Maybe they can speed through this instance?
Well, let him rest for a while, then he will go in and take a look...
"…What's going on? Where did this fog come from?"
"I can't even see the road, isn't that wrong?!"
The voices of a man and a woman suddenly sounded behind him.
Li Mingke almost thought he was hallucinating because of tiredness. He bounced his body and turned his head away blankly.
At some point, the thick fog retreated for a distance, revealing a small section of road surface under the sidewalk.
A strange man and woman were standing there in panic.
They looked around and asked him nervously: "Classmate, do you know what's going on?!"
Li Mingke opened his mouth in shock.
This copy... allows new players in?
