"I've found three clues. How about we form an alliance?"
He Mingxiao openly took out the envelope containing the clues he had obtained and presented it directly to Nan Xian.
Envelopes are the most direct way to find clues in "Unveiling Ghost Stories". Although they usually don't contain very crucial information and are not as important as props, the fact that He Mingxiao could produce three envelopes at once shows his sincerity.
However, Nan Xian did not intend to accept his sincerity.
Putting aside the fact that her primary task this time wasn't to complete the recording and get the revealer's medal, but to find the mastermind behind it all and free herself from this mysterious cycle, she was unwilling to agree just because the other party was He Mingxiao.
Those media outlets that have nothing better to do than write news have been watching her and He Mingxiao's every move 24/7 ever since they managed to get their traffic from her and He Mingxiao during the last live broadcast incident.
Previously, when they were in the same frame or their eyes met for half a second unintentionally, the media would write it as a rekindling of old feelings and a mutual attraction. This time, He Mingxiao's variety show debut is an alliance with him, so it's bound to become a trending topic again.
No, that won't do.
Unexpectedly, while she was still considering how to refuse He Mingxiao in a way that would save face for him, Yu Lin took the envelope from He Mingxiao's hand before she could.
"We don't have any leads to exchange, Mr. He, are you willing?"
He Mingxiao smiled calmly, tacitly agreeing.
Nan Xian looked at Yu Lin in confusion, her eyes asking him: What do you want to do?
Yu Lin winked at her, a sly glint in his eyes, and whispered in her ear, "Sister, we'll catch the evil spirits, and we'll win the medals too—just watch me!"
She sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation once again.
He still has the mind of a child.
Since Yu Lin had already accepted the envelope, she couldn't object any further.
The two teams thus formed an alliance "hastily".
At this moment, Nan Xian belatedly noticed that Wei Zeling was not with He Mingxiao. Thinking about her unusual behavior today, she couldn't help but ask her a question.
He Mingxiao said, "We just ran into Teacher Lang and the others. She went with them to do another clue mission. It seems she was playing chess with an NPC."
Nan Xian's heart stirred—
Playing chess, isn't that the challenge that Old Man Teng faces?
In the first three cycles, the peony cinnabar was given out by Old Man Teng. This time it appeared in the cave and had already been given to the silly woman. Does this mean that Old Man Teng can escape that death?
Unconsciously, Nan Xian recalled the horrifying scene she saw when she stepped into Old Man Teng's house during the second loop, and she shuddered.
Almost at the same time, she suddenly felt a strange chill rising from the soles of her feet, like a fast-moving snake, grazing her skin, running along her spine and straight up to the top of her head.
Her heart leaped into her throat, pounding twice in her chest. Then she abruptly turned to look behind her, her eyes widening slightly, her facial muscles taut as if frozen.
However, there was no one else behind her, only the low trees on both sides of the path rustling in the wind.
Could it be that I'm being too paranoid and that's causing my misperception?
Nan Xian's eyes darted around, filled with confusion and doubt.
But why did I suddenly have a strong feeling of being stared at by some kind of animal when I was feeling scared and palpitating because I recalled that bloody scene?
