Chapter 97 The Wandering Travel Group (Twenty-Eight)
Ahua's body was emitting black energy from the inside out. He was like a chameleon. He took off his black suit and put on a red wedding dress.
The headset and loudspeaker that were pulled off by Bei Xi turned into a wisp of black gas the moment they came into contact with the air.
Before anyone could react, it flew towards Nanhuan.
Bei Xi's pupils dilated, and when he dodged to pull the other person, it was already too late. But at the last moment, A Liu, who was standing with Nan Huan, seemed to have some premonition in advance and stood in front of the other person.
The last remaining trace of black energy was not as non-aggressive as before, which just pestered the player to make him disappear. Instead, it directly pierced through A Liu's white figure.
The condensed black energy didn't expect that someone would come out to block it for Nan Huan. However, due to Ahua's awakening and the system's re-launch, it was subject to some kind of restriction and could only attack once.
In the end, all one could see was A Liu’s ghost slowly falling down and leaving angrily.
【bite--
The system is coming back online...】
It all happened so fast that Nan Huan had no time to react. He could only instinctively reach out and catch the staggering A Liu.
Bei Xi, who suddenly rushed over, felt relieved, but still felt uncomfortable. Seeing Ahua also rushing over, he directly stood in front of the other party.
A Liu's figure seemed light and weightless, and Nan Huan could feel that her whole figure seemed to be becoming transparent little by little.
Although the opponent had died once, it was obvious that the attack of the black energy this time made it impossible for her to even maintain the shape of a ghost.
"Do you remember what I can do for you?
Nan Huan actually had a lot to say, but she knew that the other party didn't have much time left, so she could only force herself to calm down and help A Liu fulfill his last wish.
Ah Liu smiled at her, not showing any regret for his actions, "You have already helped."
She paused for a moment before giving another instruction, "I originally thought I could follow you to see the outside world, but now it's probably not possible. Take my body away from Fengmenling. I don't want to be trapped here any longer."
"As long as it's not here, anywhere is fine."
As she spoke, her eyes passed over Nan Huan's shoulder, as if taking a last look at the place where she grew up.
From beginning to end, he never looked at Ahua who was blocked behind Beixi.
"A Liu, A Liu..." A Hua was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. She finally remembered the things she had forced herself to forget and remembered how she had acted at that time.
How did he escape everything in the shortest time and kill all the remaining villagers of Fengmenling under the banner of revenge for Wei A Liu?
"Let me go, I have something to say to her..."
It was not known whether the traces of control on her body disappeared, causing her abilities to be suppressed, or whether she had lost her fighting spirit because of A Liu's condition. In any case, Bei Xi stopped her easily, not wanting the person in front of her to disturb her last bit of peace.
The other players, who had just survived the calamity, had barely had time to take a breath before they almost saw the young lady disappear right before their eyes.
It was finally a false alarm, but then another big drama happened here.
It's not right for them to avoid suspicion. After all, they are not sure whether the tour guide in wedding dress still has the offensive power.
But after all, I had just fought together with A-Liu, and it didn't seem right for me to be so blatantly watching the show.
Especially from the little information they got before, this relationship was really terrible. Some players also felt sorry for A Liu, after all, they had already seen the tragic state of the other party's corpse.
"Let her go," A Liu's face was still indifferent, and no one knew what he was thinking. After pondering for a moment, he spoke to Bei Xi.
"A Liu, A Liu..."
Without the restraint, Ahua had already squatted next to Aliu, and it seemed that he wanted to hug her.
Firstly, Nan Huan did not let go, and secondly, her outstretched fingers curled up unconsciously because of a fact that stood between them.
I had a lot of words of regret I wanted to say in my heart, but in the end all that came out of my mouth were the three words "I'm sorry".
A Liu didn't have any special feelings for these three words. She looked at the woman in front of her who was not unfamiliar to her. She had even given her warmth when she was a child, but ended her life in the end.
"If you're apologizing for killing me, I don't think it's necessary, because I won't forgive you. I won't forgive you for putting your reputation, your family's face, your own pain and suffering, etc. more important than my life."
Ah Liu's breath was getting weaker and weaker. She had to speak such a long speech in several times. Although it was a bit strenuous, her expression remained indifferent.
"If you're apologizing for not loving me that much, I don't think it's necessary, because I saw it clearly when I was on the rack. You don't have to apologize."
When she said this, she looked at Ahua's face, as if trying to catch a glimpse of his childhood appearance from him, but she could no longer tell it, so she smiled.
"So you see, no matter what, these three words are unnecessary, and our relationship ended long before I was tied to the rack."
"And what I wanted to do before was just to remind you that the person you should avenge the most is actually yourself. Now that you have remembered it, I have nothing left to worry about in this world. It's time to leave."
She spoke softly, but every word hit Ahua's heart hard.
Ah Hua knew clearly that Ah Liu no longer loved him since that moment on the rack, and everything that happened afterwards was just his wishful thinking.
It took her a very painful price to see her own heart clearly, but it was too late.
The person who didn't care about his own identity, who endured the pressure from the whole village and was brave enough to be with me, will never come back.
Now, because of his selfishness, he trapped her here and caused her to die a second time.
But those villagers who had once made fun of A Liu had already been killed by her, and she didn't even have anyone to take revenge on.
She could easily end her own life, but she knew that A Liu didn't need her pursuit at all, and her existence would only bring her endless troubles and distress.
"If only you hadn't come to my house."
Ah Hua murmured.
Maybe you will meet someone who can truly stand with you firmly, or maybe none of this will happen, we will just be good friends, and at least you won’t die.
【bite--
The system has been back online, the modified mission map is being restored, and the intervening factors have been eliminated...】
The long-lost system is back online, and this time it’s not a small problem, and there’s a bit more seriousness in its voice.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for successfully finding the disguised Nine Shadows and completing the side quest 2 - Shadow Hide and Seek. 】
As soon as the system finished speaking, a white light appeared around Ah Hua, and then she disappeared from the sight of all the players.
Because it is a collective side quest, the system notifies you via broadcast.
After hearing the notification of successful mission and seeing the tour guide disappear, all the players truly felt that they had survived this level. Some of them could not care less and simply collapsed on the ground.
[For players who have made outstanding contributions in this side quest, separate quest rewards will be issued later. ]
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was focused on Nan Huan, Bei Xi, and A Liu who was about to disappear.
Ghost is not a player, so the reward will not fall on her, so it will naturally go to the eldest lady and the president.
It was rare for the others to reach a consensus. If it weren't for these two people, everyone might have died here together. Besides, it was just a reward for a side quest, so just take it.
However, it was obvious that Nan Huan and Bei Xi didn't care about the task rewards at this moment, because the shadow of A Liu in their arms had almost become transparent.
It is a painful thing to watch a life disappear or a soul dissipate.
Moreover, the other party had to face this situation because of Nan Huan, which made her feel even more guilty.
The other party didn't have to suffer all this. I brought her out, not to use her to do these things.
"Thanks."
Bei Xi said two words sincerely.
A Liu could no longer speak and just looked at the two of them with his eyes open.
Suddenly, the system in Nan Huan's mind asked, "Hmm?"
It seemed that because the system had just been launched, it was a little stuck. It paused for a few seconds before returning to normal.
【bite--
It is detected that the trust level of the potential target, Ghost A-Liu, has reached 80. Do you want to use the skill "I am the eldest lady"?
Note: You do not need to consume points to use this skill. After completing the faith ceremony, Ghost A-Liu will automatically become the eldest lady's 'die-hard believer'. 】
The sudden reminder sound was like a sweet rain falling on the dry land.
Nan Huan then noticed that a somewhat transparent number of the same hundred years had appeared above A Liu's head.
【use. 】
Nan Huan didn't think twice and directly seized the opportunity to return A Liu to his previous state.
As soon as she finished her words, she felt as if A Liu in her arms had been paused and no longer became transparent.
[Congratulations to the player for unlocking the eldest lady's 'die-hard believer'
Die-hard believer*1
Type: Ghost
Current level: Evil creature
Skill: Backstage
Tips: After the faith ceremony is completed, the more the believers give, the greater the protection they will receive. If the young lady does not protect or harms the believers, she will be retaliated. If the believers choose to betray, they will also be retaliated. 】
System: Do players need to perform the faith ceremony now? (Hint: In order to protect the player's personal skills, the system will not show the ceremony to other players.)
Nanhuan: Yes.
Nan Huan no longer cared whether other players were watching or not. After all, even if they did, it would be difficult for others to guess her special skills.
Immediately after she used the skill, the system had already erected a barrier around the man and the ghost.
Nan Huan only had time to give Bei Xi a general explanation. In the eyes of the remaining players, they became a walking mosaic.
Others cannot see or hear what is happening here.
Nan Huan felt as if they had come to a fourth dimension opened up by a system.
The pink vines on her right arm had appeared at some point, flashing with tiny lights. Nan Huan could see the lights moving around her body, and finally Nan Huan felt a pain in her fingertips.
A drop of blood wrapped in light flowed out from her fingertips and finally sank into the center of A Liu's eyebrows.
The blood was buried in the opponent's body, and the light continued to expand, finally covering A Liu's entire body.
A Liu could already feel his life slipping away bit by bit, but suddenly it all stopped.
Just as she was surprised, she felt a warm current flowing into her heart.
Then, the originally shattered shadow seemed to have some help and stuck together again, becoming even more powerful.
She opened her eyes and saw that her body, which had become transparent, was recovering little by little, and the previous restrictions on her body seemed to have been lifted.
My body is filled with endless power and a certain connection with Nanhuan.
The ceremony was over, and the light and the pattern on Nanhuan’s right arm had all disappeared.
"I'm sorry, I used my skills without your consent."
Nan Huan knew that her skill was one-way, and referring to the existence of the werewolf and Hel, she knew that the use of this skill meant that A Liu would be bound to her in the future.
It was precisely for this reason that she still did not choose to use her skills after seeing Lingyue's trust and the system's prompts.
And just now I made this decision because I was in a hurry and had no time to ask A Liu.
However, A Liu was obviously very accepting. She was already dead, and even if she had not helped Nan Huan to block that moment, she didn't know whether she would still be trapped here, so she asked Nan Huan to take her body out.
But with the other party's operation just now, the restrictions on me seemed to have been lifted.
"Then can you take me away from Fengmenling now?"
A longing expression appeared on her face, as if after dying once, all the past events in Fengmenling had really become a thing of the past.
Nan Huan understood what she meant and was very happy.
"Okay, just wait until this instance is finished."
Although Nan Huan still couldn't figure out what this religious ritual was, what its purpose was, and what the system's prompts meant, she was still very happy that she had finally saved A Liu.
"Would you like to rest for a while?"
After all, after such a big battle just now, A Liu suffered a lot of shocks both mentally and physically. Nan Huan suggested that she take a rest, and she did not object.
As soon as she nodded, she turned into a wisp of white smoke and returned to Nanhuan's control panel.
The system's barrier had been lifted, and Nan Huan saw that on her control panel, a ghost pattern had appeared next to the 'die-hard believer' logo.
Seeing Bei Xi looking over anxiously, Nan Huan pointed to the control panel at her, indicating that it was done.
Except for the prophet, the other people present didn't understand what the two were talking about. Those who were not on the same team thought that A Liu had disappeared.
The people on the same team saw that the eldest lady and the president had very relaxed expressions, so they knew that A Liu should not have disappeared. They just didn't know what method the two used. But there were other players around, so even though everyone was curious, they still restrained themselves.
【bite--
The modified map has been restored. In five seconds, the player will be logged out of the side quest map.
5, 4, 3...】
The system prompt sounded immediately, interrupting all the players.
I saw that the sky outside the courtyard seemed to be torn open, and a large amount of white fog poured in instantly.
Everyone closed their eyes for a moment, waiting to log out of the system.
At the same time, Nan Huan and Bei Xi's minds were not at peace, and the voice of the system rang out at the same time.
【bite--
It was detected that players Nanhuan and Beixi made outstanding contributions in the second side quest - Shadow Hide and Seek, and received the reward for this side quest.
Mission Reward: Shadow Substitute Card*2
(During the side quests, you have established a friendly relationship with your own shadows. When you need them most, they will feel your call and take your place and act in your name.)]
oh?
This is not bad. It is equivalent to that he and Beixi have an identical clone. However, it is a pity that each person only has one chance to summon.
I don’t know if it’s because the system has a change of heart, or because this side quest was invaded, so the system seems particularly generous.
This mission reward finally seems to make sense.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for helping the bride and reminding Ahua of the truth of what happened back then.
Completed the special task for two people - the bride's instructions.
Mission reward: VIP service from the tour guide.
(Congratulations on becoming a VIP tourist of the Manwugui Tour Group. You can enjoy the VIP services provided by the tour guide. Please explore the service content by yourself. However, if your request exceeds the content of the VIP service, the tour guide has the right to refuse.)]
Um……
Nan Huan regretted his previous compliment and wanted to take back the system's words.
And didn’t the tour guide disappear just now?
What's more, isn't she Ahua's shadow?
If she still exists, what about Ahua?
Besides, they just had a life-and-death struggle with the tour guide, what’s the point of having this VIP service now?
Do you still expect the other party to provide you with any good service?
Nan Huan was full of questions. When the dizzy feeling he had when he logged off the map disappeared and his feet finally stepped on the familiar uneven gravel road, he had no choice but to open his eyes hurriedly.
Only then did they realize that they had returned to the dark alley in the unlit lane.
The narrow alley was still pitch black. The players had suffered a loss once, so they stood together after coming out.
Suddenly, two flashes of lightning appeared in the sky, lighting up the dark alley for a few seconds, followed by a loud thunder.
The second side quest took a long time, and the players were a little confused. For a moment, they couldn't remember what they were supposed to do before entering.
Only Nanhuan and Beixi saw the tour guide not far away from them after the lightning appeared.
Due to the limited light, the two could only see that she had changed back into her black suit, without the headset and loudspeaker, and her face looked a little more ferocious, as if she was struggling.
The light dimmed and brightened, and she seemed to be getting closer to the two of them.
After darkness fell again, Nan Huan suddenly felt that there was another person in front of him. "Next, try not to be alone. It's best for everyone to stick together."
