122 A Feast of a Hundred Devious Tales (16)
What is your wish?
He talked about his future other half, but putting aside those messy fragments of memory, he had only known Qin Fu'an for less than an hour.
In fact, Xie Yunhuai had been having strange dreams for a long time.
Dreams are ever-changing, with bizarre and fantastical contents, but the only constant in dreams is these green eyes.
It appears in every dream.
Sometimes a smile, deep or shallow, is hidden within; sometimes it is as cold as ice; and more often than not, Xie Yunhuai feels as if he is being watched by these eyes in his dreams.
From unfamiliar to familiar.
From playful banter to deep affection.
Xie Yunhuai wanted to find out the origin of the dream, and even more so, he wanted to find out about the mysterious eyes in the dream.
So the moment he actually saw those eyes, all the emotions that had been accumulating and repeating in his dreams came rushing in at once.
Unable to control themselves, they sank into depravity.
Therefore, he never refused a single word from Qin Fu'an.
Whether it's making him wear a mask or holding his hand to announce his identity.
Perhaps the night is always a good time for dreams, which is why, after dreaming of those eyes, he was able to clearly touch the other person's body again.
If these eyes and this person only appear in my dreams at night, then...
Xie Yunhuai looked up at the dark night sky and quietly tightened his grip on Qin Fu'an's fingers.
So, the night is still long, and dawn will not break.
-
Xie Yunhuai is not Qin Fu'an.
Therefore, Xie Yunhuai did not lie.
Looking at the scene in front of her, where chickens and dogs were fighting and there were limbs and blood everywhere, Xi Ya still felt disgusted and wanted to vomit, even though she had seen it many times before.
"It smells even worse here than in the garden." She covered her mouth and nose, using a disposable air filter to stay awake and communicate with the two of them.
"Several players have died," Qin Fu'an said confidently.
Xie Yunhuai couldn't hear the word "players," but he could give the exact death toll: "Four guests have died."
Xi Ya nodded in agreement: "That's right. Among the remains on the ground, only four players' bodies were eaten down to scraps of flesh. The monsters are strong and their regenerative abilities are far superior to those of the players. In this deadly fight, even if the four players joined forces, they would only be devoured by the monsters first."
They arrived not late. The monsters and players in the garden were still fighting and killing each other, all of them bloodthirsty and indiscriminate in their fighting. Some masked guests were even attacking people next to them recklessly while being dragged away by rose branches.
This scene is so similar to what I saw in the garden.
Xi Ya asked in a low voice, "Should we make a move?"
"Yes." Qin Fu'an and Xie Yunhuai nodded at the same time.
The next second, the three of them recklessly rushed into the group of wounded monsters.
Although it seemed like they rushed in and started fighting without any rhyme or reason, the three of them had already decided on their next objective on the way there.
Destroy that false cluster of rose roots.
Perhaps it wasn't just them; the other strange creatures were also fighting so desperately in order to find an opportunity to destroy the rose's root system.
Qin Fu'an charged into the fray first, his thick, long snake tail sweeping up several strange creatures before strangling and killing them without hesitation.
Xi Ya let the corpses, which were incapable of feeling pain or dodging, clear the way, and followed closely behind, rushing towards the tangled rose roots with a disposable fire item in her hand.
Xie Yunhuai was the slowest.
He didn't really get involved.
But the already strong fragrance of roses in this area became even thicker and thicker without anyone noticing, almost suffocating everyone and making it hard to breathe.
The fragrance of flowers breeds even more terrifying chaos. Some people are shaved to the bone by weapons, yet they still desperately crawl towards that clump of roots.
They could no longer see each other, or perhaps every figure they could see had become a rose that needed to be cleared away.
Thick fog rose, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Xie Yunhuai watched as Qin Fu'an slaughtered these strange creatures one-sidedly, and a small pink rose quietly sprouted from her fair fingertips.
His greed was growing wildly; he not only wanted to capture the pair of green eyes in his dream, but also wanted to hunt down the owner of those green eyes.
"It's quite interesting to watch them lose their minds and go crazy, isn't it?" A seductive voice rang in Xie Yunhuai's ear.
The boy, whose gaze had been fixed on Qin Fu'an, subconsciously frowned and stepped back, instinctively avoiding the approach of those around him and the rotting crow that tried to perch on his shoulder.
Lan Bai was unsurprised by his reaction. He chuckled softly, looked at the mess on the ground, and said gently, "Xie Yunhuai, you've fallen for that distinguished guest, haven't you?"
Xie Yunhuai coldly raised his eyes.
Lan Bai shrugged and chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't fight you for it. I don't need another boorish snake pet."
"Haven't you taken enough of what belongs to me?" Xie Yunhuai asked calmly, but before the other party could answer, he turned his head to look at Qin Fu'an again.
It seems that even saying one more word to Lamb makes me physically uncomfortable.
When questioned, Lambeau smirked triumphantly, and even the crow perched on Lambeau's shoulder let out a shrill, unpleasant cawing laugh.
However, the next second, the crow's harsh laughter was easily choked by a hand, leaving it only able to stretch its neck desperately with its eyes rolled back, its rotting wings flapping incessantly in an attempt to call for help.
"You laugh so awfully, don't you have any self-awareness?" Qin Fu'an grabbed Crow by the neck, his eyes fixed on Lan Bai, whose smile had vanished and whose expression had turned cold.
It was a blatant veiled attack.
Lan Bai sneered coldly: "It's one thing to eavesdrop, but to interrupt other people's conversation is another. This distinguished guest seems to have little understanding of the meaning of manners."
The crows were still flapping their wings with all their might.
Qin Fu'an lowered his eyes, easily broke its throat bone with his fingertip, and casually tossed it aside like a corpse. Then he looked at Lan Bai and slowly provoked, "It's still a little better than a thief who takes over the nest."
Upon hearing this, the anger in Lan Bai's eyes quickly turned into murderous intent, while Xie Yunhuai blinked in surprise.
How did he know?
At the same time, a burst of flame completely illuminated the pitch-black darkness.
Even though everyone had clear night vision, the blinding light from the blazing, leaping flames still made them frown and close their eyes in discomfort.
Xi Ya stood in front of the flames and gave Qin Fu'an a peace sign. Qin Fu'an's eyes reflected the firelight behind her and the rose roots licked by the flames. He raised an eyebrow at Lan Bai, whose expression was grim, and said, "Respected Mr. Thief, we have completed your request. May I ask if you can grant our wish?"
Lan Bai's sinister gaze suddenly turned to Xie Yunhuai: "You're helping them cheat?!"
“How can this be called cheating?” Qin Fu’an stepped aside to block Xiao Yunduo, correcting her with a friendly smile: “We have a perfectly legitimate cooperative relationship. Mr. Thief didn’t stipulate that we couldn’t cooperate in the first place, did he?”
The crackling sound of burning vegetation was the only sound under the crimson sky. The monsters, who had been fighting desperately out of their minds, stopped all their movements the moment the rose roots were set ablaze.
Upon hearing Qin Fu'an asking Lan Bai for a chance to make a wish, they all turned around and looked at him with a sinister expression.
"..." Lan Bai tried his best to suppress the murderous intent surging in his heart, and asked Xi Ya, who had run over, through gritted teeth: "Madam, what is your wish? As long as I can do it, I will definitely fulfill it for you."
