Chapter 44: Item 2: Picking up the item - Candy store
The five high priests all wore masks with different expressions on their faces, and no one knew what kind of face was hidden under each other's mask.
The high priest is codenamed by the expression on his mask.
The "absurd" high priest was now taking off Shen Li's shirt and wiping Shen Li's body with a wet towel.
His mask was so weird, his mouth was so wide open that his whole face was distorted by his smile.
The mask of the High Priest of Greed shows a slight smile, with his eyes open and looking forward, his mouth slightly open, as if he has seen something he desires extremely.
The blackout curtains in the room were drawn, and while "Absurd" was wiping Shen Li's body, "Greed" picked up a candlestick to help with lighting.
"strangeness."
The "Greed" high priest held up the candlestick and waved it beside Shen Li, "Why is there no shadow of him?"
The expression on the mask of the “Arrogant” High Priest looked very arrogant, and he urged impatiently: “Do your part well, and don’t worry about the rest!”
The high priest of "Desire" stroked Shen Li's lips with his slender white fingers, his voice charming.
"This guy is really good-looking, exactly my type, but it's a pity..."
The "Angry" high priest crossed his arms and watched coldly.
The bishop behind the red curtain urged them:
"Perform the ceremony as soon as possible. The Black Goat God wants his heart now."
…
…
On the second floor of the candy store, Song Buyu and Du Ruo were still being affectionate. Song Buyu, who was always perceptive, saw a dark object sliding in through the crack of the door out of the corner of his eye.
"What the hell!"
Du Ruo also immediately went on alert, holding up the urn, ready to summon the ashes of the nameless person at any time.
Then they both watched as the thing that had slid through the door stood up shakily.
It was like a deflated ball suddenly filled with air, changing from a thin sheet to a three-dimensional shape.
Gradually, the black color faded away, and the facial features of the shadow emerged.
"Chen...Chen Li?"
Song Buyu thought he used some special props, but he was not sure.
The thing in front of me looks exactly like Shen Li. I don’t know if it is a human or a ghost.
But it seems like he has no ill will towards them?
The only difference is that the Shen Li in front of him can't speak.
His expression was a little dull, but his body movements looked anxious.
I saw Chen Li opening the window of Song Buyu and Du Ruo's room, and pointing towards the spire church not far away.
For fear that they might not understand what he meant, Shadow Chen Li first pretended to walk, then walked to the other side, and his head flattened like a plastic garbage bag, and soon turned into the shape of a black goat's head.
After the black goat head exhaled a puff of smoke, he changed his head into the shape of a heavy hat.
He walked to the other side and acted out how he smelled the black smoke and fainted on the ground.
Yingzi Chenli played two roles and performed a pantomime for them.
Song Buyu finally understood from this abstract interpretation.
"Is Shen Li in danger?"
Shadow Shenli nodded frantically, and the tip of his hat nearly broke.
"Are you here to ask us for help?" Du Ruo combed her long hair. "It's obviously dangerous, I won't go. You've got the wrong person. Go find another deliveryman for help."
Shadow lowered his head, looking dejected.
Du Ruo was surprised to see Song Buyu wearing a black robe.
"You're going to save that irrelevant person?"
Song Buyu put on his hood and took the time to kiss Du Ruo on the cheek with a frivolous tone.
"Why an unrelated person? He is my roommate. If he dies, who will clean up? But don't worry, honey. If you are in danger, I will risk my life to save you."
He closed the door and kissed Du Ruofei, "Baby, wait for me to come back."
The door closed.
Song Buyu's smile quickly disappeared, and he said to Shadow Chen Li with a serious face:
"lead the way."
Song Buyu is used to acting according to the situation, but he still remembers what he said, which ones are from the heart and which ones are lies.
He treated Chen Li as his roommate, and he had told him that he would protect him during the delivery. This statement was truer than gold.
He didn't buy any items from the NPC in Desperate Situation before.
If he goes to rescue Shen Li alone, his chances of success are slim.
So on the way, he gave Shadow Chen Li an address and asked him to ask Yu Qianqian and Big Guy for help.
As for himself, he would just delay time alone.
The security outside the church was very tight, and Song Buyu walked around the perimeter several times.
First of all, you can't force your way through by force, you can only use your wits.
He caught a black goat from the hillside and drove it out of the church by whipping it with a small branch.
"Who is it? The high priest is holding a ceremony inside. No one is allowed to enter."
"The ritual requires the head of a black goat. The high priest ordered that it be fresh, so I brought it to him."
Before, whenever the church needed a black goat, the nearby shepherds would bring in live sheep and slaughter them on the spot. The gatekeeper was used to it, so he let him in.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the church.
Song Buyu tied the sheep aside, crept over along the wall, and looked inside through the crack of the side door.
The room was dim, with a circle of white candles lit around the round table.
Chen Li was lying in the center of the round table, with a pentagram drawn with something similar to gunpowder powder beneath him.
The black-robed man tilted the candle and lit the powder.
The pentagram pattern was burning, and where the flame spread, the table top was slightly concave, forming a groove.
The high priest wearing an angry mask was bleeding Shen Li.
The sharp blade cut a line on the weakest part of his wrist, then put his hand down.
The gushing blood spread along the groove on the table and spread in all directions until it filled the entire pentagram.
Bleeding alone was not enough, those people did not seem to want to let him go.
The High Priest of Desire held a blade in his hand and gestured at the position of Shen Li's heart.
Just as he was about to take action, Song Buyu outside the door could no longer stay there.
He tried to push the door, but it seemed as if it was blocked by something and didn't move at all.
No matter how hard he pounded on the door, the people inside remained indifferent.
The formation outside the door completely isolates the inside and the outside.
The high priests couldn't hear Song Buyu's voice at all.
"What are you doing!"
The black-robed followers outside, who were startled by the sound of Song Buyu kicking the door, rushed towards him.
Song Buyu was clinging to the door, watching the High Priest of Desire stab the knife into Chen Li's chest.
More red blood flowed.
Song Buyu's eyes turned red. He struggled to break free from the grip of the believers and wanted to rush in.
The man with the stick hit him hard on the back of his head from behind. Song Buyu's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness on the spot.
Shen Li started dreaming again.
The dream was filled with misty vapor.
He stood in front of the mirror, preparing to take a shower.
Someone hugged him from behind, reached forward from behind, and helped him unbutton the first button of his shirt.
The mirror in front of him was covered with water vapor, and even though both of them were standing in front of the mirror, Shen Li couldn't see his face clearly.
"Ms. Nanao from the Matsuyama family will come to dine with you tomorrow."
When the man said this, he did it in a businesslike manner, without any personal emotion.
Shen Li was daydreaming and not paying attention to what he was saying. She just looked down at his hands as he unbuttoned his shirt.
His fingers are so beautiful, Shen Li thought.
"Miss Nanao is already 20 years old. I heard that she is very pretty and has a very good personality. She likes to grow flowers, and her favorite is lily of the valley. If you can't find a topic to talk about at the dinner table tomorrow, you can talk to her about flowers."
"There is also the young lady of the Tai family and Miss Chuyu of the Liao family..."
Shen Li looked up at the mirror and said in a muffled voice, "But I don't like them."
"I'm not asking you to like them, just get to know each other and make friends."
"Your life is too boring. You do the same things at the same time every day. How old are you? Do you have to live like this? You need to interact more with people your own age, just as a way to...spice up your life and have some fun."
After unbuttoning the last button, the man gently led him to turn around.
"Besides, if you really like them, I won't agree."
He tilted his head and bit his neck gently, "You can only like me."
As if to punish Shen Li for his distraction, the man sucked on the side of his neck, forcing him to look up.
"Tell me, you only like me."
Chen Li raised his head obediently and let the hands that were just helping him unbutton his shirt touch his lips.
He was a little nervous, and even his voice was trembling: "I... I only like you."
"Say it again."
"I only like you."
The man deliberately let go of him, took a step back with a distant look on his face, and hid himself in the mist.
"So, tell me, how do normal people express love?"
"Yes... yes."
Shen Li's voice sounded timid, which was not like him at all.
Only in front of this person would he show such a humble expression.
Be careful and cautious, and try your best to please him.
He is like the best animal trainer in the circus, who can tame the most dangerous animals into something docile that goes against their nature.
If you want to be him, first of all, you must be patient enough to let the other person let down his guard.
"Now, come here."
Second, let him know that you can get angry and won't always speak softly.
Sometimes you have to deliberately use the strongest tone to command him:
"Put your arms around my neck, like I taught you."
Finally, even if victory is within reach, don't easily show your joy.
Don't bow your head, maintain your elegance and pride until the last moment.
"I can't bend over, so you have to stand on tiptoe."
Chen Li was very timid, and even when they kissed, he would do it cautiously and then separate immediately.
He knew Shen Li very well.
If you continue to be tough, he will only back down.
So he touched Shen Li's hair and praised him:
“It’s great that you can do this.”
The man traced his thumb over the red mark on his neck.
"When we have dinner tomorrow with Miss Nanao, can you let her see this hickey?"
Shen Li hummed.
He ran his hand up his neck and lifted his chin.
"You're so good. Now, it's my turn to reward you."
