Chapter 86 The Wandering Travel Group (Seventeen)
Before the white fog appeared, Bei Xi had already noticed something was wrong.
But the moment she reacted, the warm touch on her fingertips disappeared.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for unlocking the second side quest - Shadow Hide and Seek. 】
As my eyelids felt familiarly heavy, the system's voice began to sound.
Bei Xi vaguely caught the sound, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The next second, she felt herself sinking until light finally appeared before her eyes.
It's the kind that's not too glaring, and very gentle.
Bei Xi could feel herself lying on a familiar touch, and the blurry outlines around her made her a little dazed.
The next second, she suddenly stood up from the bed and looked around with a wary look on her face.
There were two books on the bedside in the bedroom. Nan Huan felt bored before going to the dungeon, so he asked Bei Xi to collect information books about players' personal skills in the rest area. Even the pages they had opened matched.
This is clearly the rest area, their bedroom.
But Bei Xi knew in her heart that this was unlikely. A second ago, she had just unlocked a side quest and separated from Nan Huan.
There is no way it could appear in this place, but——
The soft touch on her fingers was so real.
Just when Bei Xi was a little confused about the situation, the system's voice rang again.
[People have shadows because they have to bear the sins in their hearts.
In places with light, shadows are clearly visible, but they can still remain awake because of their owner's rationality.
But in a place without light, shadows are easily bewitched.
It so happens that there is a Nine Shadows lurking in the dark alley, and it makes a living by seducing people's shadows.
Your arrival awakened the Nine Shadows.
Find Jiuying before the white mist dissipates.
Tip: No matter what happens, don't trust the shadow's words. 】
Now it can be confirmed that this is their bedroom restored by the system using some unknown method.
After hearing what was said about Shadow, Bei Xi had a bad feeling.
As the system's voice fell, she was just about to get up and look for Nan Huan.
As a result, his originally clear eyes were somehow becoming a little blurred, and Bei Xi was able to keenly perceive that the memory of Nanhuan in his mind seemed to be slowly disappearing.
And another part of unfamiliar memories, flooded into my mind regardless.
Until her eyes became clear again, Bei Xi looked at the movements with some confusion, as if she couldn't remember what she was trying to do just now?
Immediately afterwards, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside.
The person who came in didn't seem to expect her to wake up so soon. There was an unnatural pause when he approached her, and then he returned to normal before Bei Xi noticed.
He couldn't wait to throw off his shoes and hugged her, "You finally woke up? How long have you slept?"
The deliberately softened voice, with a hint of complaint and a little woman's shyness, made Bei Xi consciously wrap her arms around the other's waist.
He pecked Nanhuan's lips, "Sorry, I was too busy yesterday. I have time to spend with you today."
As she spoke, she stretched out her arms, hugged Nan Huan directly into her arms and looked at him.
'Nanhuan' is wearing her favorite black lace dress today. The hem is made into a fishtail shape, which is sexy and charming.
It's just like a siren in the deep sea that controls nothingness.
Bei Xi's mind paused briefly on the three words "favorite", as if she instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, but her attention was instantly attracted by the other person's action of hooking his neck.
"Yeah?"
She smiled slyly, and her cold fingers slowly moved along the back of Bei Xi's neck. "Then may I ask, President, how are you going to accompany me?"
The finger finally landed on Bei Xi's throat and tapped gently.
Bei Xi's breathing tightened, and her throat surged up and down along with Nan Huan's fingers. Her burning gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the person in front of her in the next second.
Then she suddenly tightened her arms around Nanhuan, pressing him against her body.
Without answering, he went straight down Nanhuan's neck, leaving a wet mark.
The man who was making a threatening move just now immediately tried to escape from Bei Xi's arms as if something had grabbed his vital points.
But because of the opponent's clamp, he couldn't move and could only move himself a little closer to the other person's arms.
"Oh my... I was wrong, I was wrong, is that okay... Haha... It's so itchy..."
'Nanhuan' was ticklish, and because of Beixi's sudden closeness, she murmured a few words.
Like a small hook, it played tricks in Beixi's heart.
Bei Xi couldn't help but increase the intensity of her movements after hearing this, and the two of them made noises on the bed for a while.
Seeing that if they didn't talk about business, the gun would go off accidentally, Nan Huan barely managed to get out of his lust, "Stop messing around, we still have to play a dungeon later, save some energy for me."
Bei Xi searched for this information in her mind, and after holding Nan Huan in her arms for a while, she took his hand and kissed him.
"Let's let it go today..."
She paused in the middle of her words.
Because Bei Xi seemed to smell a faint smell of blood from Nan Huan's hand, the rest of the words were stuck in his throat.
'Nanhuan' unleashed his held hand without leaving a trace and kissed the corner of Beixi's lips directly.
"President, please let me go today, okay?"
Her voice was very charming, but where Bei Xi couldn't notice, she was looking at her hands with a look of regret on her face.
Fortunately, Bei Xi had no intention of pursuing the matter further. His brows, which had been unconsciously furrowed, gradually relaxed. He seemed not to care about what had just happened at all and gave Nan Huan a kiss on the forehead in return.
"It's not easy to owe me a debt. Next time I'll test your sincerity."
The two looked at each other, and seemed to find such lines a bit disgusting at the same time, and burst into laughter.
Soon Nineteen came knocking on the door and said everything was ready.
The dungeon they are going to this time is called "The Wandering Travel Group", which is a tourist dungeon with an S-level difficulty.
To be on the safe side, Bei Xi had already decided to bring Nineteen and the Prophet with him.
I just didn't expect that people from other guilds would chase me so closely.
Bei Xi followed the principle of less trouble is worse than more and didn't want to react to the people from other guilds.
She has always followed the principle of not offending others unless they offend me. Not to mention that the news of the dungeon is public, any guild that wants to come in can send their players.
What's more, she didn't think these people could threaten them at all, so she didn't want to make the atmosphere too awkward at the beginning.
But there are always a few who don’t have good eyesight, for example——
After getting off the shabby bus, the doll started to speak in a sarcastic tone, "Mr. Yi, Miss, what a coincidence?"
The other party was unwilling to even pretend, and his tone was full of provocation.
After greeting Nanhuan and Beixi, he pretended to be kind and tried to get close to other people.
"Everyone should be careful this time. After all, someone's personal skills are still a mystery, but people from other guilds who entered the dungeon with her died inexplicably, okay?"
Before the doll could finish her words, Bei Xi couldn't help but want to take action.
She couldn't stand other people spreading rumors about 'Nanhuan' like this. Although 'Nanhuan' had just entered the game not long ago, her personal skills were very overbearing and she often couldn't control the situation.
Bei Xi knew that Nan Huan was always very careful and would try not to use it if possible.
But the two copies she experienced had been upgraded, which could be considered a very critical situation.
But now that the doll said this, it seemed as if "Nanhuan" was a person who would kill without blinking an eye.
The fierceness in Beixi's eyes was captured by the doll. She was very happy that Beixi behaved like this, and she did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
"Could it be that my words have touched a sore spot?"
The doll smiled as if to apologize, but there was no apology on her face.
"It is rumored that the guild leader is very clear about rewards and punishments, and does not like to kill innocent people. I just don't know when the guild became like this, accepting all kinds of people into the guild?"
This statement not only implies "Nanhuan", but also belittles Beixi and the first guild.
She didn’t really feel anything about what Bei Xi said to her about herself and the Guild, she didn’t care about it.
Compared with these, she cared more about the other party's disrespectful remarks about "Nanhuan".
But as soon as she moved, she was held down by 'Nanhuan'.
She turned her head and gave the doll and the other remaining players a wicked smile.
"Um……."
With one hand she was trying to comfort the angry Bei Xi, while she tilted her head and spoke in a drawn-out tone.
"I think her advice is very useful. You should take care of yourself."
'Nanhuan' did not defend himself, but instead looked earnest.
After saying this, he was about to pull Bei Xi forward, then as if he remembered something, he added another sentence.
"Also, since everyone knows what each other is here for, I won't keep you in suspense."
Her tone suddenly changed from nonchalant to serious.
"I'm determined to get the Faith Totem Fragment. If you know what's best for you, stay away. I'll ensure that you stay safe in this dungeon. If anyone has any evil intentions, don't blame me for being rude."
"Also, do you want to know why the Servant Under the Skirt Guild became the number one guild in the game? And why the guild leader is firmly sitting in the number one position among game players?"
'Nanhuan' is like an actor with superb acting skills. After a few words, his face returned to its previous cynical expression, as if he really wanted to discuss this issue with everyone.
Some players were confused by her all-in-one questioning method and cast puzzled looks at her out of habit.
Nanhuan put away his smiling face and gave his answer in a decisive voice.
"Because of my strength, I have the strength that others envy in this weird game."
Nineteen had been standing by, winking at Nan Huan, as if she didn't want her to say such harsh words in public, but the eldest lady seemed not to understand what she meant and spoke harshly without hesitation.
Looking at Bei Xi standing aside, he had no intention of stopping the other party at all.
Nineteen decisively gave up the idea of letting his president persuade him, and raised the defense level to the highest level in his mind.
Regarding the topic of strength, the remaining players have nothing to argue about, after all, it is a fact.
Anyone who comes out to question it with any excuse will only appear more pitiful.
However, the other players did not expect that 'Nanhuan' would dare to bring out the fragments of the faith totem so openly.
They didn't expect that the other party would threaten them so blatantly.
But except for the president and vice president of the Fairy Tale Realm, who seemed not to intend to intervene in this dispute for the time being, the rest of the people present all looked unhappy.
But no one dared to take action immediately after Nan Huan said this. Even though they didn't know much about this "young lady" who suddenly appeared, everyone knew the president standing next to her.
After all, this dungeon has just begun, and their purpose of coming to this dungeon is not to fight, but to get the fragments of the faith totem, so their clenched fists tightened and unclenched.
Even the doll did not take the initiative to take action under Miaojiang's instruction.
'Nanhuan' waited for a while and found that this group of players were so cowardly that no one dared to step forward after pushing for a long time.
She pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly, and moved towards the village with Bei Xi.
But when everyone seemed to have forgotten the previous episode, he moved his hands behind his back.
There was thick fog all around the village, and visibility was so poor that even the people around you couldn't see clearly when they took a few steps.
The tour guide was still talking over there, and no one noticed Nanhuan's actions, including Beixi.
But no one noticed that a dark substance emerged from Nanhuan's palm at some point. It looked like liquid, but it did not drip onto the ground, but flowed instead.
They were influenced by the master's will, slid down Nanhuan's fingers, moved quickly in a certain direction, and then quickly sank into the other's body while the doll was not paying attention.
The doll was listening carefully to the tour guide's explanation of the rules of the game. Suddenly, its body paused for a moment, and then returned to normal in a second.
I looked down at my body, but couldn't notice anything for a long time.
Nanhuan closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something. After a while, he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
When everyone entered the village together, Nanhuan intentionally dragged Beixi to the back of the team.
She stared at the doll's back and waved her right hand in an unnoticeable way.
I saw the doll in front of me. It was walking just fine, but suddenly stopped. Its eyes were a little unclear, as if it didn't quite understand why it suddenly stopped.
As soon as the other party stopped, the team began to crowd, and then loud quarrels came from the front.
It seems that the pollution has been successful.
'Nanhuan' pretended to be clueless and stretched his neck cooperatively to see what was happening in front.
As a result, before he could figure out what was going on, he was dragged back by Bei Xi.
Nanhuan had a very obedient look on his face, and stood obediently beside Beixi.
In fact, what she was thinking was that Bei Xi was too perceptive, so she didn't dare to go too far. She just did a simple experiment to confirm that the doll had been contaminated and no one noticed anything.
According to her own opinion, she would have liked to kill the sarcastic Bei Xi's doll right now, but she didn't want Bei Xi to see this side of her, so she chose to act stealthily.
Forget it, just bear with it for a while, and when I get to the mission, I’ll solve it quietly.
'Nanhuan' prepared himself mentally for a while before grabbing Beixi's hand and throwing himself back into the somewhat weird villagers' welcome bonfire dance.
Bei Xi did not notice Nan Huan's little action. On the one hand, it was because she always felt that this copy was familiar, as if she had been here before, but she could not remember anything.
The memory in her mind also told her that this must be her first time here.
On the other hand, she could sense that Nanhuan was indescribably excited, as if he could foresee what would happen next.
But when he observed her carefully, she looked at him with a cute smile on her face, and would act coquettishly from time to time, which quickly diverted Bei Xi's attention.
Soon the first ghost hunting game side quest was released.
"Be careful and wait for me to find you."
Before the touch in his hands turned cold, Bei Xi only had time to catch a hint of sound left by 'Nan Huan'.
When she opened her eyes again, Nanhuan was not surprised by the mask on her face. Even the stiffness of wearing the mask did not affect her much.
Without Bei Xi by her side, the obedience in her eyes was gone, leaving only a little impatience as she stared at Xiao Wang and the village chief who were doing their job diligently at the door.
"Hurry up and follow the process. I don't want to waste my time on you."
After saying this, without waiting for the two to react, he walked towards the main house.
He knew in his heart that Bei Xi could handle this small situation and he didn't need to worry about it, but his eyes uncontrollably looked at the white fog outside the courtyard.
If she wasn't afraid of being exposed, she really wanted to leave everything in the room behind and appear by Bei Xi's side immediately.
Although it was just a replica of the scene, the restoration was very realistic. However, 'Nanhuan' was not interested in it. While they were making a fuss, he had already planted the pollutants on them in case of emergency.
Those ghosts under her control would definitely not treat her as a bride to humiliate her.
But 'Nanhuan' was still very thoughtful and pulled her wedding dress twice to make it look less neat, so that she could act pitiful in front of Beixi and get him to hug her for a while longer.
After leaving the village chief's house, 'Nanhuan' went straight to where the tour guide was.
However, her method was much simpler and more brutal. She didn't have the patience to act with the tour guide, so she directly used pollutants to control the other party. However, just when "Nanhuan" was about to pat the other party on the shoulder, she felt Beixi approaching this side.
The hand that was originally about to pat the other person's shoulder paused in the air for a moment, and then she used the pollutant to control the tour guide, making the other person perform an attacking behavior, and she took advantage of the situation to crash into the wooden table next to her.
There were a series of ping-pong sounds, and as expected, he did not fall to the ground, but fell into Bei Xi's arms.
Even though she was wearing a mask, Bei Xi still recognized her.
This realization made Nanhuan's heart warm, and he hugged the other person a little tighter.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Bei Xi held her and moved back to prevent the tour guide from rushing over at this time, while asking her in a low voice, and his other hand was stroking her body, as if to confirm her safety.
Such a gentle voice and such a rapid heartbeat made Nanhuan feel hot all over.
If it wasn't for the sake of avoiding suspicion, she really wanted to not bring Bei Xi to this damn copy, but would rather the two of them stay in that room and finish the unfinished business.
But this place is really not very suitable now.
She could only snuggle up to Bei Xi's shoulders and neck and continue to act pitiful, while absorbing the other's scent.
"Well, I thought I wouldn't see you again?"
The aggrieved and pitiful voice almost melted Bei Xi's heart.
For a moment, she felt a sense of novelty in her heart.
It seems that Nanhuan doesn't often express his emotions in such an open way.
But in an instant, the inappropriate feeling in Bei Xi's heart was overwhelmed by heartache.
Without caring about the tour guide who was being forced to act as a light bulb, he quickly hugged Nanhuan and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, it's just that I'm late."
'Nanhuan' seized the opportunity, controlled the tour guide, and before Nineteen came, he spent some time with Beixi, then patted the tour guide on the shoulder.
But 'Nanhuan' didn't have any idea, he just slapped twice in a row, wanting to turn the villagers from humans into ghosts once and for all.
"Wait a moment……"
Before Bei Xi could figure out why, a voice trying to stop her spoke out first.
But Nan Huan pretended not to react. After patting twice, he turned around somewhat at a loss and looked at Bei Xi innocently, "What's wrong?"
Bei Xi couldn't figure out for a moment why he stopped 'Nan Huan'.
The tour guide had already turned into a ghost, and there was no room for maneuver, so he gave up and shook his head, "It's okay."
But soon, the ghost hunting game entered the second stage.
'Nanhuan' clearly knew that this would happen, but he acted as surprised as Beixi.
Even at the moment when the red line appeared, he calmly hugged Bei Xi and avoided the first step of the attack.
For the next meal, she was held in Bei Xi's arms to avoid the red lines, and occasionally used pollutants to control certain red lines so as not to hurt Bei Xi.
She didn't dare to do anything too risky, for fear of being noticed by Bei Xi.
And because the opponent moved very quickly, her actions were always a little restrained.
As the number of red lines increased, the ghosts were dispersed and then gathered together again.
Bei Xi had to protect her, so his movements were somewhat inconvenient.
It was not until Nan Huan watched Bei Xi's palm being pierced by a red line that her eyes suddenly darkened.
