Chapter 96 The Wandering Travel Group (Twenty-Seven)
The black gas had no substance. After wrapping around the two, it blocked their vision.
Nanhuan couldn't see anything. He could only feel Beixi holding him as if he was immersed in a very empty place.
The black gas did not attack them immediately, but just carried them down.
Nan Huan thought to himself that this meant that the players who disappeared due to the black air might not be dead yet.
I just don’t know how long they can last. After all, they have lost the ability to attack.
Although he was clearly surrounded by the black air, Nan Huan felt as if his entire body was immersed in some sticky liquid and he couldn't get out.
There was no way she could open her mouth to scream, and even the feeling of Bei Xi hugging her became weaker and weaker.
My eyelids became heavier and heavier, and the contents of the previous copies flashed through my mind like fleeting images and finally disappeared.
Nan Huan could feel his memories flowing away like water.
All those smiles and frowns of Bei Xi began to blur in her mind.
She struggled hard, not wanting to forget, and used her fingertips to try to use Bei Xi's remaining feeling to awaken her consciousness, but it was of no use at all.
Compared to Nanhuan's intense reaction, Beixi felt much milder.
After all, the only thought in her mind was that she was very tired and wanted to close her eyes.
She knew clearly that they were still in the dungeon game, and they were controlled by the black energy coming out of Xiao Tao. The fact that they did not die immediately proved that things would definitely turn around.
But such a simple truth, for Bei Xi, now needs to roll several circles before he can understand its meaning.
She realized that her reactions were slowing down and her connection with the game copy was weakening.
Even though she was still hugging Nan Huan, for a moment she could no longer feel the other person's presence.
The sound stuck in my throat couldn't be uttered, my whole body was stiff, and it seemed that everything around me was slowly disappearing.
In the middle of the yard, the scene where the eldest lady, President Yi and President Alice, three living people, disappeared in the blink of an eye was difficult for the remaining players to accept.
He was the top-ranked player in the entire game, yet he had no chance to resist in the hands of the tour guide.
If one person is not enough, then with the addition of another guild leader and a young lady who has recently become famous in the game and got two pieces of faith totem fragments by entering two dungeons, this combat power is the ceiling of their team, right?
But the other party just waved his sleeves and took him away.
If we say that before, there was a president and a young lady who had been holding the fort, the remaining players, although they knew that the tour guide was powerful, did not really experience it.
Now, the person the tour guide wanted to deal with finally disappeared, and she didn't seem to be slow to watch any tricks of falling into a trap.
With a wave of his hand, the black air that was still jumping in the courtyard instantly formed a net of heaven and earth, trying to catch the remaining players in one fell swoop.
The survivors were clearly divided into two factions. One faction was led by Miao Jiang and Wawa. They finally realized the terrifying power of the tour guide in front of them. They struggled desperately and wanted to leave the courtyard. They didn't want to be affected, nor did they want to be the next one.
Miao Jiang and Wawa originally wanted to help, but who knew that in a flash, everything would become completely different.
They didn't even have time to think about whether they could get out on their own since the president and the eldest lady had already disappeared, because the menacing black energy had cut off all their escape routes.
The other faction was led by Nineteen, who were originally in their team.
They are more sober than Miao Jiang and the doll. The eldest lady, President Yi and President Alice have helped them find the weakness of the tour guide by making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. As long as they can find a way to separate the two things on her body, they will have a possibility of getting out of here.
But at the same time, they were extremely aware that since even the First President, the Eldest Miss, and President Alice had not been able to do it, it was natural that they would have no chance of success relying on just a few people.
But everyone was filled with anger in their hearts. They had lost their partners, and the road ahead was uncertain. No one would retreat at this time.
They gritted their teeth and rushed to the center of the courtyard regardless of anything, wanting to avenge their companions and hold on to the last glimmer of hope.
But the reality is often cruel. The tour guide just stood there without moving, with only boredom in his eyes.
But they were already entangled by the black energy and couldn't move.
The black gas began to spread upward from underground, like a black tide, gradually submerging all the players.
From the limbs to the drive, and then to the neck.
Everyone was struggling desperately, as if it was an instinct when a person is on the verge of death, but Lingyue was not one of them.
The expression on her face remained calm throughout, no matter that Nanhuan, whom she had always kept in mind, suddenly disappeared, or that she herself was now doomed.
She didn't even frown, but just stared blankly in the direction of the tour guide, as if she was looking at something very intently.
It was not until she passed the endless black air and caught a glimpse of an inappropriate white figure and a thin strand of hair beside the tour guide who had relaxed his vigilance that she could not help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
When the tour guide discovered that some of her hair had gotten caught in the loudspeaker and headset, she realized that she had been so focused on getting rid of all the players that she had forgotten about the small props and the ghost left behind by Nanhuan.
Although the tour guide was a little annoyed that these little characters were so bold as to play tricks in front of him, he did not take their little power seriously.
The maid's long hair still couldn't withstand A Liu's verbal offensive, especially since it also felt that Nan Huan was no match for the tour guide.
However, the incident happened so suddenly that when the maid Long Hair was about to rescue the people herself, the rolling black air had already disappeared.
Because it is Nanhuan's prop, normally it can sense if something happens to the other party.
But it did not disappear as soon as Nanhuan disappeared, which means there is still time left for them.
A Liu understood what the other party wanted to express through its anxious means and did not dare to waste any more time.
One ghost and one with long hair, quietly approached while the guide didn't notice them and was focusing on the players, and finally prepared to surprise them and hit them with one strike.
But he didn't expect that the moment his long hair touched the headset and loudspeaker, the black gas coming out of it had already swirled up along the hair.
The maid's long hair began to break from bottom to top and was soon wrapped in the black mist.
The situation on Liu's side was not much better. She couldn't see her long hair, so she automatically refused to go up. Before she could even touch the place she wanted to touch, she was lifted up in front of the tour guide by the black energy.
"If you had run away just now, I could have let you go for her sake."
The tour guide seemed to be in a good mood because he had dealt with all the people he needed to deal with, so he spoke a few words.
A Liu shuddered. She knew that the "she" the tour guide was talking about was not Nanhuan, but A Hua.
"You are indeed not her," A Liu spoke with some difficulty as she was restrained. She was not at all surprised by the tour guide's words.
"Are you the one who made a deal with me? You'll do me a favor by letting me stay in the game?"
This should have been a question, but Ah Liu's tone was very certain. At this point, she seemed to remember something and a smug smile appeared on her face. "It seems that your plan went wrong. Nan Huan rescued me and helped me, but your plan fell through. That's why you are so angry and humiliated?"
Although Ah Liu didn't remember who put her in the coffin, but now that everything happened, she made a bold guess.
There was no change in the tour guide's expression, but more black air came out of the headset and loudspeaker, and he became angry and humiliated, as if his secrets had been exposed.
But A Liu noticed that the color of the other person's pupils was jumping back and forth between deep and normal.
The change in her emotions seemed to have an impact on her invasion of Ahua's body, and A Liu had an idea.
"I thought you would at least ask if you were killed because I controlled her?"
The tour guide did not notice A Liu's reaction. She did not answer but asked instead. A Liu exposed her nakedness and made her poke the other person's lungs with the question.
But it was obvious that she was not good at this kind of thing, and Liu obviously already had the answer to this question, "No need to ask, I know you were not there at that time."
In other words, she knew very well that when Ah Hua drew his sword against her, it was her own decision.
"So, are you going to kill me a second time, Ahua?"
A Liu's tone became very tough. She changed the address and stared into the tour guide's eyes while speaking, but her gaze was obviously looking through this body to see another person.
———
In the darkness, Nan Huan fell into a drowsy sleep. She felt like she had forgotten something very important, but she couldn't remember anything.
Just when she was about to give up and fall asleep quietly in this sticky mess, she heard several calls.
"Anan, don't sleep. Didn't you promise me that you would take me to see the outside world when you have the chance? It's much darker here than in the castle. I don't want to stay here..."
Whose voice is this? Why does it sound so familiar?
Is this what I promised?
Castle? I have some impression of it. It's the vampire Hull.
I brought her out of the castle, saying I wanted to show her the outside world.
But due to the limitation of her skills, she was only allowed to come out for a moment in the second copy, and she still fought for herself.
Nan Huan felt bad instantly. Although she couldn't speak, she replied to the other person in her heart.
Don't worry, we won't stay here, I will definitely take you out.
In a flash, Nan Huan felt that his consciousness had become a little clearer.
The next sound came as expected.
"Anan, do you remember the perfect new world? That's the world we created together. Don't you want to take me back to see it? It really exists."
A perfect new world?
The evolution of those infected, a new rebirth of a city?
This is the jellyfish Hel, Nan Huan remembered. Since he saw her in the copy, Nan Huan hasn’t seen her again?
Is she here too?
That world actually exists, I really want to take another look at it.
The lost memories suddenly filled my mind again.
Until another voice sounded.
"Anan, you said that no matter where we are, whether in the game or outside of the game, we will be together. If you think this place is good..."
I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.
It's dark here, where is the good part?
She didn't want to die with Beixi like this?
Nan Huan suddenly woke up and could feel Bei Xi's touch so clearly on his fingertips.
The stickiness gradually dissipated because of Nanhuan's sobriety.
The black gas that was originally descending had somehow carried the two of them upwards.
In the courtyard, the tour guide was a little surprised by A Liu's words. She didn't expect that the other party had already figured out the whole story.
I didn't expect that she would say it in such a relaxed tone, without any resentment.
Even because the other party tried to use this method to wake up the controlled Ahua.
But before the corners of her mouth could even curl up, she felt the body, which she had originally controlled, begin to stir.
As if frightened, and as if wanting to explain something urgently, it was no longer sleeping, but was fighting for control.
The endless stream of black gas from the headset and extender became unstable due to the tour guide's constantly changing pupils, giving the players who were about to be drowned and A Liu, who was tightly bound, a chance to breathe.
At the same time, Nanhuan and Beixi finally felt some light during their ascent.
Bei Xi, who had recovered, hugged Nan Huan and broke free while the black energy dissipated.
I found that they had returned to the courtyard.
Bei Xi reacted quickly enough. In just a split second, she had noticed something was wrong with the tour guide and reached out to take off her headphones and loudspeaker.
Seeing that Nan Huan and the others were safe, A Liu felt relieved and hurriedly continued to cooperate with Bei Xi.
"Ahua, I don't have much time left. What happened back then must be resolved. Do you remember everything? I have something to say.
noodle……"
"Shut up."
The tour guide gritted his teeth. On the one hand, he had to calm his mind, on the other hand, he had to avoid Bei Xi's attack, and he also had to divide his attention to deal with the other players who had surrounded him.
A Liu's words undoubtedly revealed some shocking information, and the expression on the tour guide's face was constantly changing.
Sometimes it was Ahua wearing a red wedding veil, and sometimes it was myself wearing a headset.
Bei Xi finally grabbed the other person's earphones, but was unable to open them all at once, because those wisps of black air seemed to be planted inside Ahua's body, and it took a lot of effort to pull out just a little bit.
But compared with before, it has been a great success.
After all, because the tour guide couldn't fully control this body, the black energy was no longer as indestructible as before, and showed a tendency to weaken.
The players who had just been swallowed by the black energy reappeared in the courtyard one by one.
At this time, there was no possibility of retreating, so everyone put in their best efforts.
Ah Liu continued to talk about some heartwarming stories from childhood, "Do you remember when I was little, I just went to your house and didn't get used to it. When I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, you always took me out secretly to see my house. Although my house collapsed not long after my mother passed away, I could fall asleep every time I went to see it..."
Except for Nan Huan, Bei Xi, and Nineteen who knew a little bit of the inside story, the remaining players still remembered the corpse in the coffin when A Liu suddenly appeared.
I didn't expect that there was such a touching story between the other party and the tour guide.
What is going on?
Are the resident NPC and the main NPC a pair in the dungeon?
And from what he said, it seemed like there was some connection between them.
But I didn’t expect that the tour guide was from Fengmenling?
Could it be that the shameless tour group deliberately sent a local here to produce and sell their own products?
But the tour guide's current appearance doesn't seem like she has anything to do with A Liu. Didn't she just tell him to shut up?
The players all knew that they had to follow the instructions of the eldest lady and the president and take off their headphones and loudspeakers, thinking that this would help them defeat their opponents, but they had no idea what was controlling their bodies.
Nan Huan couldn't help with this kind of physical work, so she stayed beside A Liu with a bad look on her face.
She finally realized what was wrong.
She and Bei Xi had always believed that A Liu was murdered by the villagers or died because of them.
Later, with the help of the tour guide or some being that controlled the tour guide, A Liu killed the villagers again for revenge and trapped all the villagers in the game.
Therefore, the villagers in the game will show great respect to A Liu's coffin.
But from A Liu's perspective, or from what Nan Huan and Bei Xi saw where A Liu was imprisoned, she had no resentment towards the villagers at all.
At that time, Nan Huan thought that the other party had forgotten, which was why this happened.
But now it seems that A Liu knew very well who killed him.
A Liu was tied to the rack and put on display for public display. The villagers wanted to use this method to make her compromise.
But A Liu was unwilling to do so. After seeing A Hua's timidity and cowardice, he decisively drew a line between himself and the other party.
But this is not the case for Ahua.
Although she had no choice but to admit that she did not like A Liu, but liked men.
But as long as Liu was tied to the rack and refused to compromise, she would be subjected to everyone's accusations and prejudices.
She has grown up in this village for so many years and deeply understands the power of the group as well as the consequences of an individual or even a family being isolated.
She had tried to persuade A Liu many times, but he just kept looking at her with disappointment and refused to compromise.
Finally, the string that had been stretched tight broke. She knew that a person's death was nothing in the village, but it could bring about a brief round of gossip.
It's like a heavy snow in winter. When the snow falls, it seems to cover everything, and all the stains hidden in the snow will disappear.
By next spring, the ground will be green again.
No one cares whether there has been blood on this land or what has happened to this land.
But Ahua seemed to have forgotten how many days and nights Aliu had been by her side.
How many days have passed and how many things have they done together.
She felt that the barren land, which should have had no traces, seemed to have produced the most beautiful roses.
But she plucked out the rose with her own hands, leaving behind a hideous wound that would never heal.
As A Liu recalled, the connection between the headset and the loudspeaker finally became fragile.
Bei Xi exerted force and the last wisp of black air was pulled out of Ahua's body.
The black suit disappeared and the red wedding veil reappeared.
The system that had been offline finally started to move.
