Chapter 120 The Wandering Travel Group (Fifty-one)
Sometimes, Beixi’s sharpness would indeed give Nanhuan a headache.
For example, now, she had prepared a lot of arguments and took several detours, thinking that Bei Xi would not be able to notice her original intention, so she proceeded step by step, maybe the other party would be able to understand.
But he still murmured about Bei Xi's sharpness and the other party's understanding of him.
She couldn't help but sigh, and decided to confess in no time, "There are too many phantoms here, you will be exhausted first, which is why the two of them haven't shown up yet. The national teacher is not sure whether she will appear in this mission, but Heer hasn't shown up yet, something is wrong."
"Their goals are different, so there must be other things hidden in these phantoms. It's just that there are too many of them and there is no way to quickly distinguish them. Giving up resistance is the best way."
Nan Huan told the truth. Her body felt the burning pain all the time, but her mind was still clear, so she spoke very coherently.
"How can you be sure something will go wrong? What if?"
Bei Xi was very smart, but still unwilling to let go. He even tightened his arms around the other person, and as if to vent his anger, he repelled another circle of phantoms.
"Before, when I was in a fuzzy state, the princess's spirit came close to me and let me see the truth before her death. At that time, the Imperial Master wanted to exchange the lives of all the people in the world for the life of one person. If that person was the princess, she would not have had to waste so much time. When He Er knew the truth, he said that he wanted the princess to light her up, so the two of them must have different goals."
"If they are different, how could there only be the princess's phantom here? Moreover, the phantom here is different from the soul I saw before, but I can't tell it more specifically. Since they want my body, I will give it to them. When the time comes, we will fight..."
When talking about this matter, Bei Xi had already cut off communication with the main force and established a private channel between the two of them.
On the surface, it didn't look like the two were talking, but in fact, Nan Huan had already started talking at length in the private channel.
“That’s not what I’m talking about…”
Bei Xi interrupted Nan Huan who was talking freely, "What I mean is that these things are based on your reasoning and the images you just saw in your consciousness. What if these images are fake? What if the story deliberately tricked you into falling for it? What if you guessed wrong?"
Seeing Nan Huan wanted to refute, Bei Xi continued, "You didn't think about it, because subconsciously, you have already regarded He Er as one of us, because the previous two copies were the same, so naturally, the princess was also classified into the same camp by you, so you never doubted the scene you saw."
"But what if the Heer in this copy is not one of us? What if the spirit of the princess, the national teacher, used coercion and bribery, and she is no longer the gatekeeper of the past?"
Bei Xi couldn't say it. She had placed so much trust in He'er, but Ju was still angry because she felt that Nan Huan didn't take her life seriously and didn't consider whether she could bear to see her take risks.
Nan Huan was stunned for a moment by the reality of her question, and then he seemed to understand the crux of the matter. He raised his hands and hugged Bei Xi's neck belatedly.
"Do you know why I trust her so much?"
At this critical moment, Nan Huan even wanted to tease the other party.
If Ashe and Shijiu heard it, they would probably crawl over along the communication channel and grab their ears to teach them a lesson.
It’s already this time, can you please stop showing off your love and go out and talk about love first, isn’t it sweet?
"Because I've seen her face during role-playing, just like you." Nan Huan said as he touched Bei Xi's face with difficulty. "After seeing those eyes, I can be sure that she is as trustworthy as you."
"Based on this, I think she might have been tricked by the Imperial Master. This possibility is even greater."
"And you still remember what I told you about what I heard in that ancestral hall, right?"
These words were said in a bright and clear manner, and he also praised Bei Xi. After seeing that the other party's face had improved a lot, Nan Huan mentioned another thing, "The voice once told the princess that if the other party chose to sacrifice, her body would be used to strengthen the seal, and her soul would be scattered everywhere. Maybe during this long period of time, the other party has found a few strands of it, but it cannot change a fundamental fact."
"I think this is why the princess's spirit allowed me to see the truth of what happened back then."
Nan Huan stopped talking and glanced at Bei Xi. Seeing that she had become clear-headed, he knew that she understood.
Bei Xi was confused because of her concern. After all, she was just listening to the scenes recounted by Nan Huan, so it was understandable that she did not pay attention to the key points.
But even so, she couldn't be 100% assured.
"I will always be with you. If the situation is not right, I will not care about any mission."
Beixi and Nanhuan had naturally heard about the previous main missions, but in Beixi's eyes, these were naturally nothing compared to Nanhuan's safety.
But in fact, Nan Huan knew clearly that the other party was just using this excuse to force her to protect herself.
Nan Huan nodded and leaned calmly in Bei Xi's arms, "Get out of the way and see what they want to do."
Bei Xi then stopped his defense and moved away from the sky lantern.
The phantoms that were originally blocked by Bei Xi were like trapped beasts, unable to find a way out. As a result, they found that the force that was restraining them suddenly disappeared. With their brain capacity insufficient to support their thinking, they all rushed into the sky lantern.
The burning sensation on Nan Huan's body became more and more obvious. As more and more phantoms entered the sky lantern, her body became heavier and heavier, as if the parts that originally belonged to her body were rejected and disappeared, and many unknown consciousnesses that wanted to occupy her body poured in.
Nan Huan felt that everything in front of her eyes seemed to be going backwards, and most of the scenes in her life began to rapidly return in the form of movie scenes.
She saw herself watching the princess's wandering soul, saw herself being rescued by Ghost Face, saw herself being held by Bei Xi, and saw the scene when she first arrived at Fengmenling.
Going further, to the rest area, and then when she was not in the game, she looked for Beixi like crazy.
Bei Xi no longer had the leisurely days before entering the game, the happy laughter, and the occasional pride when she succeeded in playing a prank on others.
Just when Nan Huan thought the scene should end here, he found that there were many more scenes flashing by, but those scenes were dark and the faces could not be seen clearly. Only a vague shadow could be captured.
The figure inexplicably made her feel familiar. She wanted to open her eyes to see more clearly, but she felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier.
The phantoms were very fast. Although there were many of them, without Beixi's restraint, they all quickly got into the sky lantern.
Contrary to Bei Xi's expectations, there was nothing strange in these phantoms, not even a bit weird.
Because of the influx of phantoms, the lantern lost its red color and was slowly covered by a layer of red and black.
Nanhuan in my arms had a gradually rising body temperature, his vital points had not changed for the time being, but he was a little fuzzy.
Bei Xi paused for a moment, still not noticing anything wrong. Suddenly, the gray fog that was originally surrounding him seemed to sense something, and with a whoosh, it turned into clouds and returned to the sky lantern.
The faint glow of the lamp wick has not been extinguished yet, and the dim light illuminates the appearance of the sky lantern.
It was very noisy outside. Bei Xi didn't quite understand why the shackles disappeared in an instant. He was just about to pick up the lamp, pick up Nan Huan, and meet up with the others first.
As a result, a ghost figure in a long robe with an unclear face jumped out from the dense crowd of evil spirits under his feet.
Moreover, her robe was very strange, half black and half gray. The gray half was painted with a few clouds that looked exactly like the ones on the sky lantern.
She was moving very fast and holding a golden object in her hand.
The moment Bei Xi sensed the danger, he hugged Nan Huan, did a backflip, and tried to grab the sky lantern with his other hand, but the other party got there first.
A shadow flashed by the place where I was standing just now, and the sound of whipping could be heard.
It was a whip shining with golden light, falling from the void. Judging from the ghosts affected by the residual power of the whip, it was extremely powerful.
When the owner of the whip saw that the first attack missed, he swung the second whip when he approached head-on.
Bei Xi reacted faster, hugging Nan Huan and hiding to the left.
But what was unexpected was that the left hand without the whip under the robe softened and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards Nan Huan in his arms.
Bei Xi was unable to dodge, and fearing that the other party would hurt Nan Huan, she had to turn sideways to block the black fog, but she failed to avoid the long whip.
The whip tail, with a sharp wind, cut through the night sky and landed on Bei Xi's back.
This whip is different from ordinary whips. Bei Xi was stimulated by the wind and lost his balance, and fell straight down while hugging Nan Huan.
The clothes on his body were intact, but the pain from the whip seemed to come from his bones, making Bei Xi unable to move in an instant, as if something in his body was locked.
Her action of hugging Nan Huan was just instinct.
The wind beside her ears whistled rapidly, and she continued to fall down holding Nan Huan, knocking down a series of ghost shadows.
In Bei Xi's reflected pupils, he could lock onto the whip that had been swung down again, and the hand that had turned into black mist also flew over, as if trying to snatch Nan Huan away.
The descent speed without interference was getting faster and faster, but in Bei Xi's eyes, the gap between the two sides was getting closer and closer, but he still couldn't move, and he couldn't even find a safe place temporarily to hide Nan Huan.
The sky was clearly already slightly bright, but it was still pitch dark as they went down. There were more and more ghosts around, and they seemed to be staring at the sudden food that had come to them.
Just when the whip was about to touch Bei Xi again, Nan Huan in his arms seemed to finally regain some consciousness.
Snow-white, soft wings extended from her back, fluttered twice, and she hugged Bei Xi with her backhand. She made a sharp turn, dodged the whip that was approaching step by step, passed through the dense ghost shadows, and continued to accelerate into the abyss below.
"How is it? Can you move?"
Nan Huan could feel Bei Xi's stiffness, and also noticed the strangeness of the whip, which was not quite what she had imagined.
Bei Xi shook her head. "You should go and reunite with Nineteen and the others. With them around, you can hold on for a while. Don't stay here."
Getting closer and closer to the abyss below, Bei Xi could already feel the ghosts getting ready to move. She knew that Nan Huan had not fully recovered, and with his combat power, it was not a good idea to take the woman in the long robe above into his lair.
"I can't hold on until I can reunite with Nineteen and the others..."
Nan Huan's body was overwhelmed with so many souls crammed into it at once. Her current condition was the result of her forcing herself to stay together. She couldn't even fly out of the Mass Grave, let alone reunite with Nineteen and the others.
"Besides, with their abilities, they are no match for that guy." Nan Huan felt that his body was like a container filled with excess souls. If he was not careful, it would be on the verge of exploding at any time.
Nan Huan had become very proficient in using his wings during this period. Taking advantage of the break in flight, he turned his head to look at the person who had been following him. "It seems that the worst situation we had guessed before has happened. Hull seems to be under control."
As she spoke, the black shadow that emerged from the left hand of the woman in the robe rolled up into a ball and flew towards her.
Nan Huan seized the opportunity, dodged, looked at the dark shadow in front of him, and called out tentatively, "Heer?"
The black shadow came back to its senses from the instinct of chasing, and because of Nan Huan's shouting, it revealed a little human form for a moment, but as the whip of the woman in the long robe swung over, the human form gradually dissipated and turned into a black shadow again.
Although he was controlled, he did not seem to have completely lost his mind.
In just a few seconds, Nan Huan had already obtained some information.
The key is to know what methods the national teacher used to control Hull and lead to the current situation.
There was also a whip in the other party's hand. I don't know what was so strange about it that could restrict Bei Xi's movements.
【bite--
The Book of Infernal Affairs has been activated. Players can spend 100 points to ask a question about the god-level item Infernal Affairs Whip. Do players use this right to ask a question? 】
Just when Bei Xi was in such a bad situation with an evil ghost approaching tentatively in front and pursuers chasing and blocking him from behind, and he was temporarily unable to move, a turning point came without warning.
It was the first time that Nanhuan discovered that the system was quite positive at certain times.
Although this kind of enthusiasm seemed somewhat inconsistent with their previous behavior, it allowed Nanhuan to extend its brief depth.
The main quest of this current copy is completely different from the main quests of previous copies.
If it weren't for the weirdness of his health value, and if he hadn't been lingering on with the remaining 0.1, all the players would have been eliminated during the coffin game.
This does not conform to the setting of the game. Such a coffin game basically means that there is no way to pass it.
But this situation has indeed happened, and Nan Huan cannot be sure whether the current trend is related to the previous system intrusion.
After all, whether it was the mastermind or the imperial teacher, they both showed their determination to kill her and Bei Xi.
And one thing is for sure, the game seems to be trying hard to balance this situation.
The reason why we don't say 'stop' is that since the game can be briefly 'invaded', it means that in some cases, the mysterious power behind it seems to be more powerful, so powerful that the game can only use the rules to try to provide help to Nanhuan.
For example, at this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly appeared.
The right to ask questions must be used, but Nan Huan did not forget that for an audit prop, there is only one right to ask questions, so she has to think about how to word it in order to get more information.
The time left for Nan Huan was indeed not much. After all, the whip behind her was swung a few more times and she could hardly bear it anymore.
Nan Huan: "I want to know all the information about the Wujian Soul Whip. Is that okay?"
After spending a few seconds thinking, Nan Huan chose the most upright method and asked directly. After all, the system had already handed it to him, and it would be impolite not to ask.
What's more, strictly speaking, she did only ask one question, but it was a more complete one.
I don’t know if it was because Nan Huan guessed the intention of the game, or because Nan Huan’s undisguised way of asking questions really shocked the system, but after her question, the system did pause for a few seconds.
She seemed to be thinking, or perhaps she was simply dazed because of her intelligence and little thoughts.
System: Of course, this is the player's right.
[Wujian Soul Whip: It was sealed in Tianmen Pass by the Lord of Wujian a long time ago, and later obtained by the Ghost King.
The Infinite Soul Whip is made of a wisp of soul from countless ghosts. The Ghost King uses the Infinite Soul Whip to control thousands of ghosts and takes control of everything at the Ghost Gate.
If a normal person is whipped by the Infinite Soul Whip, within three whips, his body and the soul inside the body will disappear. This is also called the Soul-Dispersing Whip.
The first whip will make it impossible to move; the second whip will break the body; the third whip will kill the soul.
Tip: The Ghost King has no soul and is immortal. The Infinite Soul Whip is her weapon and only she can wield it. 】
Hearing the system's last suggestive question, Nan Huan raised his eyebrows and showed Bei Xi what the system said.
"The whip that only the Ghost King can use has now fallen into the hands of someone else. What does this mean?"
Nan Huan hugged Bei Xi with a sly smile on his face.
Bei Xi's body was still unable to move, but fortunately she was the first whip in the 20th grade, so apart from being unable to move, she did not have any more discomfort for the time being. She heard Nan Huan's smiling voice.
Bei Xi narrowed her eyes and looked at the person who had been chasing them, as if she wanted to see something magical from the woman in the long robe.
"This shows that the Imperial Master in front of us is not the real Imperial Master. She used some means to temporarily control the Ghost King, but her real body did not appear, only half of her afterimage."
Bei Xi knew what Nan Huan was questioning and pointed out the problem incisively.
The further they went down, the more ghosts there were. Nan Huan took out offensive props from his body with great effort to clear a path, while trying to determine the distance to the abyss.
"Then if the Imperial Master herself didn't appear here, how did she control Heer?"
The closer they got to the abyss, the more ghosts there were. Nan Huan held Bei Xi and carefully avoided them. He asked knowingly, "Will there be any props or something like that?"
Bei Xi's gaze had shifted from the woman in the long robe to the light held in her hand.
