Chu Lu calmed down Qian Ji, who was in a panic and even planning to call an ambulance, with just a few words.
Bursting capillaries just look scary.
——He was used to playing for Mao Xingchang, and for a moment he misjudged the fragility of this child's body, and his spiritual power protection was not in place.
However, Xiang Zhengqi was forced to use this ultimate move, it seemed that he was really in a hurry.
Chu Lu just wanted to help but was held back by Qian Ji.
Qian Ji's face finally lost the excitement of "I am the chosen one" at the beginning, nor did it show the fear he had just felt when he was frightened by the blood on Chu Lu's body.
...Well, actually I'm still a little scared, a little bit.
He held the boy's shoulders and turned Chu Lu, who had turned to look at Xiang Zhengqi, back. He looked at him very seriously and said, "Let's go, let's go back... It's too dangerous here."
He paused, looked behind and explained, "Look, they can solve it..."
Real life is not a game. There is no resurrection option, and this is not a copy that can be played again.
The fear that came to my mind belatedly was the fear of death.
Survival is a human instinct, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. However, Qian Ji suddenly realized that he was far from being ready to bear the weight of life. As long as he thought that the injuries on the child might be caused by protecting him, Qian Ji felt a twist in his heart.
Chu Lu turned his head and looked back. Qian Ji was right. Xiang Zhengqi's side could indeed be solved: after the clearing-out wave just now, the number of ghosts here had been visibly reduced. It seemed that with three or four more times, they could be completely cleared out.
...But by that time, Xiang Zhengqi had basically exhausted all his spiritual energy.
He was obviously in a hurry to get there, and who knows what danger he might encounter later. Apart from anything else, even for the sake of this "sister" in the shell, Chu Lu couldn't just leave him alone.
And for him, there is actually a very easy solution to this situation.
But now Qian Ji's performance...
Chu Lu was still sincerely relieved that the young man finally learned to stay away from danger.
He agreed straightforwardly, "Okay, I'll be back right away."
Even as the boy said this, he turned his head towards the direction where the ghosts were gathering.
Qian Ji was about to remind them when he saw a sudden commotion over there. The ghosts that had gathered there like crazy seemed to have faced something extremely terrifying. They fled around the place where they had originally gathered, and a vacuum zone soon appeared around them.
——What big move is being made over there?
Such a doubt flashed through Qian Ji's mind, but he soon realized something and lowered his head stiffly.
From the angle where he was standing up, he could see a dark, slightly fluffy little head that looked very nice to touch. In fact, Qian Ji could also prove that soft and smooth hair was indeed nice to touch.
However--
The real center of the group of ghosts is here... right? The child next to him.
It was as if the place was completely cleared out by some invisible force. In a moment, it was clean and tidy, as if those things from the other world had never appeared.
Although Chu Lu didn't know what the person behind the scenes had done to make these ghosts lose their minds and ignore the expulsion hints near the seal, and even gather here fanatically, the level repression within the ghosts naturally exists in their instincts and cannot be changed so easily.
It would be fine if Chu Lu had restrained himself on normal days, but when he released the aura that once belonged to the Ghost King, those little ghosts who were not of high level naturally fled.
…
…………
He just needs to think about the reasons later and how he should explain it to Xiang Zhengqi.
The childhood friend who was supposed to be "saved" comes back again.
After the meeting, he might have to be "saved" again...
It was a disaster, for both parties involved.
He had to come up with a plausible reason.
Considering that he has only been in this world for two short years and he doesn't know whether it has reached the level of offsetting his vows, he doesn't want to repeat the strange cycle of "being saved - being pulled back by the world consciousness - being saved again - being pulled back by the world consciousness again".
Fortunately, he had enough time to find a suitable excuse before Xiang Zhengqi solved the problem.
Although we don’t know what Xiang Zhengqi is eager to do, between the “Ghost King’s way out” and the real threat, the first choice of the male and female protagonists is always to deal with the latter.
I have to reiterate that in this world, he, the villain boss, is really too undignified.
We can worry about what happens next later. The most urgent task is to quickly get Qian Ji, who was innocent (not so innocent...) and involved, away from the scene.
Chu Lu thought about it and looked up at Qian Ji.
The blood on the boy's face had been wiped clean by him, and a soft smile appeared on his fair face. That smile was innocent and soft, which was unique to children and made people feel relieved easily.
But it seemed to be Qian Ji's illusion, the boy's dark pupils disappeared like a flash of blood that quickly faded away.
Although so many things happened in one day that Qian Ji still didn't quite understand what was going on in reality and the game, he suddenly thought of the setting of "Lulu".
Because he met a cute "Cub" at the beginning, he subconsciously put it into the setting of "Newbie Guide", but the blood pupil just now...
So, this is actually the "Ghost King Road"? !
Qian Ji: !!!
The boy’s motionless state made Chu Lu’s eyelids droop slightly.
Although he had turned his back on purpose just now, according to normal people's thinking, such a big commotion must have been caused by the Heavenly Master over there.
But Qian Ji seemed to be particularly sharp in some areas.
——Did you discover anything?
However, the boy's reaction once again broke Chu Lu's expectations. Qian Ji suddenly leaned over and hugged him, stammering: "Although... although... I, I am really afraid of death, and I just confirmed... that I am not suitable to be a hero or a brave man... but, but... since you chose me, Lulu..."
"I, I...will try my best...!"
Chu Lu:? ? ?
Being looked at by those eyes that were full of tears but seemed to have made up their minds, Chu Lu began to have question marks in his head.
From the moment they met tonight, Qian Ji's reactions were completely different from what he expected.
And the "selection" thing, isn't that the plot of "xx Superman" broadcast on daytime TV? Only elementary school students, no... kindergarten children would believe in that kind of cartoon to please children, right?
However, Qian Ji felt that there was nothing wrong with his logic.
In the "Jianyi" expansion pack, Lulu absorbed too much resentment in order to protect the protagonist in the game and turned into the Ghost King. Once the game data is updated and entered, it is the complete form of the Ghost King. But if it were put into reality, there would inevitably be a transition.
Qian Ji confirmed that it was a real human being at home during the day.
——With the testimony of his family members, and at that moment just now, Lulu did give him a different feeling.
so……
Lulu turned into a ghost to protect him = Lulu chose him = He is the protagonist of the game = He has to find a way to restore Lulu to human form to avoid the sacrifice ending in the expansion pack
…
Qian Ji had no idea that his mental age in front of Chu Lu had dropped from Professor Qian and his wife’s son who was studying at a university, to a middle school student who was still suffering from Chuunibyou, and then to an elementary school student/kindergarten kid who still believed in being the chosen one…
No matter what he thought in his heart, this was not the place to delay, so Chu Lu quickly pulled people and asked them to go back.
Qian Ji finally woke up from his dream.
#According to the setting, it’s time to start the escape plot! #
Chu Lu: "..."
Although the other party cooperated and followed him, he still felt as if something was wrong.
But before he had walked far, his face suddenly became serious.
"Brother Qian Ji," he pulled Qian Ji's arm, motioned him to lower his head, and with his other hand he handed him a key, saying, "Can you take me home?"
Qian Ji was confused: Don’t they have to “escape” now?
Is it okay to go home? Won't you be stuck at home?
Or is the home some kind of large safe spot that cannot be attacked?
Although he was confused, Qian Ji thought it was right to listen to Lu Lu, so he nodded quickly and agreed.
Chu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll sleep for a while, I'll trouble you from now on."
Qian Ji:?!
As the child said this, his eyes closed and he fell to the side.
Qian Ji: !!!
He barely had time to answer it.
The reason why Chu Lu was unconscious at this moment was naturally because of Mao Xingchang's emergency call for help.
…
A little earlier, when Chu and Qian were still watching Xiang Zhengqi's big move, the ceremony of taking over the body had already begun in the Han family's forbidden area.
A faint smell of smoke filled the forbidden room. The sound of bells ringing from nowhere echoed in the small space. The talisman paper painted with cinnabar on the walls, ceiling and floor rustled...
Everything was going as planned. Things were progressing smoothly, and the young body was about to be obtained. The soft flesh on the old face twitched and revealed a twisted smile.
But the joy only lasted for a moment. His eyes, which were mostly covered by his drooping eyelids, suddenly opened wide, and a look of shock appeared on his face. "How could it be——?!"
Over there, the young man who was originally tied up tightly and should have been lying in the center of the formation somehow managed to break free from the ropes.
“No, it’s impossible…”
The hoarse voice ended with a dull sound of flesh hitting flesh. The old body was hit by a punch and flew several steps away until it hit the wall behind him.
There was a "crack" sound, and I didn't know whether it was a dislocation or a fracture of the bone.
Han Li collapsed to the side, still unable to believe it, and said hesitantly: "Impossible... You can't use spiritual power, you can't use spiritual power..."
Han Lenian let out an "Ah?" and cracked his knuckles.
"You don't need spiritual power to deal with an old immortal," he pulled the corner of his lips to one side, with a threatening smile on his face, "Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a virtue, but for an old monster like you who has lived for who knows how many years, forget it..."
He threw another punch, but was blocked by a hand that stretched out in the middle. The nails were black and sharp, and there was a dark and gloomy aura around it. Han Lenian's face changed when he recognized the hand, and he stepped back several steps. A deep crack appeared on the ground where he was standing.
"Wuchen."
Han Li over there had sat up at some point. He leaned against the wall and called out softly. The monster with eight eyes on its head and twisted limbs came out from nowhere and stood beside him.
Han Lenian looked at this scene with an extremely unpleasant expression.
In contrast, Han Li smiled and looked at the corpse puppet beside him with a strange look.
"You're here to look for it, right?"
Han Li smiled, "I had just randomly captured a few residual souls and fed them with their resentment, but I didn't expect that something special seemed to have gotten mixed in... What a pity..."
His tone was truly regretful.
If he had known earlier that among those residual souls there was the broken soul of the ghost king from the Li family, he would have raised them separately to avoid creating such a dubious thing and even causing some trouble that should not be caused.
Mao Xingchang pretends to be an emotionless thug: ???
——What is this old man talking about?
While he was still confused, his body started moving on its own.
The fierce fist wind brought a whistling sound, and the body that was originally difficult to control became so flexible for the first time. This was much smoother than when he was operating with commands from behind. Although it was not as awesome as Brother Chu's when he was playing as a substitute, it was a rare first-person perspective experience.
——Smooth! Silky!!
Mao Xing felt great for a while, then suddenly realized something was wrong.
Mao Xingchang: “…”
"!!!"
——Damn it, the son of destiny is almost beaten to death by him!!!
He subconsciously said, [Brother Chu! Help!]
