Chapter 111: Cave of Sorrow (20) A Wise Choice
After escaping from danger, Wei Wei quickly told Gao Mengtang about his experience in the secret realm. Soon, Wu Xiang brought a few people and carried Wu Feng into the old house.
During this time, Wu Feng struggled hard and screamed.
Wei Wei used a healing potion to heal his wounds. He felt no pain now. He was screaming because he was disfigured. How could a disfigured Phoenix man deceive a love-brained girl?
"Minister Wu, Minister Wu, you must save me. I can't be disfigured!" Wu Feng hugged Wu Xiang's thigh and knelt on the ground. "Save me, save me. My girlfriend will run away with someone else..."
After staring at him for a while, Wu Xiang sighed.
The scene here was in chaos. At the other end, a gatekeeper ran in in a panic and said in a heavy accent: "Prime Minister, it's bad. Rag (that) foreigner, he, he..."
"What kind of evil magic did you cast on him? Why did he go crazy?" Wo Lanbei rushed in with Qin Xishuang on his back and asked bluntly, "Look at his appearance. Tell me, who did this to him?"
Wei Wei took a quick look and burst out laughing.
Qin Xishuang had painted her face like a clown in a farce. Her cheeks were red like monkey buttocks, her mascara had smudged onto her eyelids, and her light pink eyeshadow was unevenly applied, as if her eyes had been slapped. Her flaming red lips and the loose powder that looked like she had painted a wall, no matter how beautiful her facial features were, could not stand such a mess.
"He started going crazy at noon, mumbling while putting on makeup and refusing to sleep. We couldn't stop him," said Bo Yao.
It turned out that on the way to the Forest of Steles, Qin Xishuang and others were injured by Wei Wei. They did not dare to confront him head-on, so they hid themselves. They waited until Wei Wei and others left before going to pay tribute to Li Xing.
The next day, the side quest was completed, and Qin Xishuang went to return the wedding dress. However, at noon on the day of returning the wedding dress, he was taking a nap, and suddenly sat up in shock from his dying illness, took out a bunch of cosmetics and smeared them on his face.
He ignored anyone who spoke to him, sometimes sobbing, sometimes giggling, looking like a madman.
As the situation became more serious, Wu Xiang sighed. Xiu Hong stared at Qin Xishuang for a long while, then glanced at Wu Xiang, her face as grim as ever.
"The young man from other places and Wu Feng will stay here first..." Wu Xiang spoke slowly.
Wo Lanbei shouted in a rough voice: "Explain to me first, what happened to him!"
Wu Xiang: "Don't you understand? He is obsessed with the Ghost Doctor and wants to marry him. He is crazy about it..."
Bo Yao: "Then how should we treat it?"
"I can help him communicate with the Ghost Doctor Immortal. Whether the Ghost Doctor Immortal is willing to marry him or not, and whether he can marry him or not, all depends on God's will." Wu Xiang stroked his goatee, "In any case..."
"He can't marry anyway!"
"How can I marry the Ghost Doctor?"
Wo Lanbei and Bo Yao shouted one after the other. They had little information and did not know that the so-called marriage to the Ghost Doctor was actually to become a sex slave and sell organs. However, with the players' keen intuition, they could guess that marrying the Ghost Doctor was most likely not a good thing.
After being interrupted twice, Wu Xiang's face looked unhappy. He coughed solemnly and said, "In any case, communicating with the Ghost Doctor Immortal will help ease his unrequited love."
Gao Mengtang listened from the side and found it funny.
Qin Xishuang went crazy, it must be the people in Wu Xiang's house who did something. They probably had their eyes on his organs.
Wei Wei also completed the side quest, but he was fine, probably because when filling out the medical examination form, Wei Wei wrote 800 words about his medical history and allergy history. No one wanted his organs.
"Wei Wei, why don't you miss the Ghost Doctor? Why don't you want to marry him?" Gao Mengtang joked cheerfully, and was also hinting at Wu Xiang, "Is it because the Ghost Doctor dislikes your poor health..."
Before she could finish her sentence, there was a loud bang, and Miss Xiuhong slammed the teacup heavily on the table, startling everyone in the room. She shouted, "Meng Yiqiao, the Great Witch is talking, and you have the right to interrupt?"
Gao Mengtang said "Oh" and was as quiet as a quail. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.
Wolanbei interrupted the Great Wu Xiang twice, but Xiuhong didn't get angry. Now he just said one sentence and was scolded by Xiuhong. It was obvious that Xiuhong didn't like him.
How could a natural group pet who is loved by everyone have ever been treated like this? He sat in a corner, stirring the water in his teacup by himself.
The others were discussing the follow-up arrangements for Wu Feng and Qin Xishuang. Gao Mengtang suddenly felt something and said to Wei Wei through the mind link: "Do you feel that something is wrong?"
Wei Wei: "Where?"
"According to what you have seen and heard in the secret realm, the people who married the Ghost Doctor were actually trafficked people, and the witch was killing people for money..."
The people in Changming Village were uneducated, ignorant, and had weak legal and individual consciousness. When a child, especially a girl, died, they were considered dead, and no one would investigate further.
But their identities in the copy are students from big cities, and they are all rich second-generations. Which one of them is not a little ancestor of the family? How dare Wu Xiang attack them?
"That makes sense," Wei Wei said. He cleared his throat and said indirectly, "My classmate's parents are both businessmen with a net worth of over 100 million. If Lord Wu Xiang can save his life, he will not treat you unfairly."
In fact, it was to remind Wu Xiang that his identity was very serious, and if he died in unclear circumstances, the parents would keep nagging him.
After listening to this, Wu Xiang did not express anything, but asked an irrelevant question: "College students, your future is bright, right?"
"Of course. I plan to be a director in the future," said Wei Wei.
"Leave him here. At this point, I'm the only one who can help him." After saying that, he walked into the inner room, leaning on his crutches, and his back looked rather haggard.
Before leaving Wu Xiang's house, Gao Mengtang asked quietly: "Wei Wei, guess, could Wu Xiang be the 'evil spirit' in the dungeon?"
The main quest requires them to kill the evil spirit, but so far, they haven't figured out which evil spirit it is.
Wei Wei shook his head: "My guess is that he is not. The system's word choice is very particular. The main mission asks us to kill the 'evil spirit' instead of the 'mastermind'. This proves that the target is a supernatural being, either a ghost or a fairy. In short, it is not a human."
The non-human beings that have appeared in the copy so far include the little girl singing nursery rhymes, the butcher Li Xing, and Li Mo who is suspected to be Fu Ling.
The fact that the butcher Li Xingke could be saved means that she did not have to die, and therefore she could be ruled out as a suspect.
As they were chatting, Xiuhong called them to stop. She came over carrying a chicken, a duck, a basket of eggs and a box of milk: "Wu Feng was injured because of you, and his mother should be comforted by you."
Gao Mengtang: "Wu Feng wasn't injured because of us..."
"Just go when I tell you to go! Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Xiuhong said sternly, stuffing the chicken, duck, eggs and milk into Gao Mengtang's hands.
"Wu Feng is a rare college student in the village. Even though his mother is confused, you still have to comfort her. Don't say that he is disfigured. Do you understand?"
Xiuhong gave a bunch of instructions, turned around, and walked away on the stairs. Gao Mengtang laughed: "She and that little girl who cursed me for a bad death, their arrogant appearance is exactly the same."
"Are you talking about Xing Zhe?" Wei Wei asked.
Gao Mengtang sighed: "Yes. This is the first time I have suffered such an injustice. I miss my brother..."
Wei Wei paused while smoking, frowned, and suddenly raised his voice: "Miss Xiuhong, please wait a moment!"
Xiuhong half turned around and raised her chin: "What's the matter?"
Wei Wei stared at her face for a long time, his expression becoming more serious. After a while, he said hesitantly, "I want you to take good care of my classmate. There's nothing else to worry about."
Xiuhong snorted and walked into Wu Xiang's house without looking back. Wei Wei stared at her back for a long time.
"Mr. Blind, I just took a closer look and found that Miss Xiuhong and Xingzhe look very similar."
*
Freesia ran in front, carrying meat, eggs and milk. The three of them and the dog returned to Wu Feng's house.
Calculating her age, Wu Ma is no more than 50 years old, but she looks very old. When I first met her, I thought she was Wu Feng's grandmother. After not seeing her for a few days, I felt that she had aged a lot, and she was in her twilight years, with a weak breath, and a gust of wind could blow her down.
"Mother-in-law, Wu Feng said he has been in a bad mood these days. He went to see the chief witch doctor. He will not be back tonight. Don't worry." Gao Mengtang squatted in front of Wu Ma's small stool with a bright smile. "The witch doctor and Wu Feng had a very happy chat. He kept praising him for his promising future and brought you some gifts."
He pushed the meat, eggs and milk forward and said, "Mother-in-law, are you bored without anyone to chat with you? Why don't we stay and keep you company?"
It was already evening and the twilight was dim. A crow perched on a low fence, folded its wings, and stared at Wu Ma as if it were staring at a piece of rotten meat.
After a while, Aunt Wu squeezed out two syllables from her throat: "Uh, um."
What does this mean? Gao Mengtang couldn't figure it out, so he comforted her a few more words.
"Who are you?" Aunt Wu asked slowly.
Gao Mengtang: "Wu Feng's college classmate. We met the day before yesterday."
"Wu Feng? My college classmate..." Mother Wu lowered her head, staring blankly at Gao Mengtang with her cloudy eyes, then at Wei Wei, "Wu Feng, you're in college now, good. Good. Where's Wu Ting?"
Wu Ting died a long time ago, and you guys forced her to death. Gao Mengtang thought to himself, trying to test how confused Wu Ma was, so he said, "Wu Ting has passed away?"
"Dead, dead?" Aunt Wu was shocked and shook her head, "No, not really. My daughter married the Ghost Doctor."
Gao Mengtang: "Marrying the Ghost Doctor is like dying. The Ghost Doctor is a liar..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Wei Wei. Fearing trouble, he quickly pulled Gao Mengtang away.
On the way back, fog rose in Changming Village again. The water vapor engulfed the villagers' legs and waists. From a distance, only chests and heads were floating in the air.
At night, the temperature dropped even lower. The herbalists, young and old, came back from the mountains, carrying hoes and baskets, walking forward like sleepwalkers.
Several old men in the village were sitting under a tree in a daze. They looked like old sculptures, with wooden expressions and blank eyes, without any sign of life.
Changming Village in the mist was like a pale, bleak, eerie ancient painting, which became more and more eerie the more you looked at it. They hurried back to the hotel, and the eerie feeling dissipated a little.
They didn't tell Xin Tong about Wu Feng's injury yet. They went back to their room to rest.
The three of them exchanged their experiences in the secret realm. Wei Wei was shocked to learn that he was the one who took the longest time and had the most cycles.
He felt even worse after hearing that Gao Mengtang had successfully left the secret realm after a good sleep and camping for a day.
It was like the experienced student wrote a whole blackboard of answers, while the transfer student wrote two lines of formulas leisurely. They both got the same score.
"I also thought about leaving on a cargo ship, but without gold, they wouldn't accept me. Although it took me a long time, I got more clues." Wei Wei kept stuffing tobacco leaves into the pipe, blocking He Luo's air pores tightly. Unable to bear it any longer, he stretched out his tentacles and poked a hole in the tobacco cake.
Wei Wei pushed He Luo back with all his strength, muttering indignantly: "Mr. Blind, you are lucky. Freesia is a racial talent. I have done a good job."
Gao Mengtang smiled and said, "Of course."
"Luck is also a part of strength. Octopus farmer, stop being so jealous." Pegana groaned, "Why did you spend a month to clear the secret realm instead of one day? Don't you want to?"
"Shut up!" Gao Mengtang grabbed his mouth.
Relaxing, the players checked the mission panel.
Side Quest 2: The River of Injustice
Mission 1: Enter Li Xing'er's Secret Realm [Past·Reflow] Completed
: Mission rewards will be settled together after the main mission is completed
Mission 2: Kill or save the butcher Li Xing'er
Tip: Li Xing'er is hard to kill. Perhaps, being as unpredictable and unpredictable as water would be a good choice. She has a weakness. Can you find it?
: Congratulations to [000 Blind] for achieving the achievement [Wise Choice]
[Wise Choice] Achievement Description: Excellent player, wise choice. You are good at finding the optimal solution, in other words, you are good at taking shortcuts.
: This achievement is obtained by completing a task in a surprisingly easy way.
Achievement Reward: Adventure Gear (This reward can only be obtained once)
(You can choose to receive or give up this achievement reward)
The adventure gear is a double-edged sword. The advantage is that it is easier for players to trigger special plots, encounter special events, and get more rewards. The disadvantage is that the greater the benefits, the greater the risks. In the process of experiencing adventures, you will also encounter more dangers.
Gao Mengtang didn't hesitate much and chose to receive the adventure gear.
There are three permanent icons in his status bar, namely Charm Aura, Mist Elf Morris and Adventure Gear.
After adjusting his state, it was time to go to bed. Today, Wei Wei took off his wedding dress and would not sleepwalk. Gao Mengtang also felt much more at ease. He closed his eyes for a while and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up.
Woke up from the cold.
He went downstairs holding on to the wall and the handrail, went to the front desk to ask for an electric hot water bottle, and then went upstairs slowly.
Their room number was 203. Before leaving, he left the door a crack in case he couldn't find it.
When he reached the second floor, Gao Mengtang felt around for the door and found a half-open door. He pushed it open, hugged the electric hand warmer tightly, and got into bed.
Because he was sleepy, his mind was fuzzy. When he was about to fall asleep, he was still thinking that Freesia didn't snore tonight and the bed seemed to be wider.
There was no coconut-scented fragrance that Wei Wei liked to use in the room, and it smelled a bit.
His thick black eyelashes drooped quietly, and his sleeping face was peaceful and quiet. He was the only one in the room, with only a floor lamp on, and on the bedside table were the magic tools and spell books commonly used by wizard families.
On the wall next to the door, there was a row of machine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, rifles...
The door that Gao Mengtang had just closed had the house number [204] hung on it.
This afternoon, Bo Yao and Wo Lanbei were in a hurry to take Qin Xishuang to treat an illness. They left in such a hurry that they forgot to close the door.
