Chapter 210: Scavenger (6) Impermanent Ghost: Xie Wuling
"Linli, how did you get in?" He Lun asked as he crawled out along the secret passage.
"Reincarnation... I saw the overlap of the past." Lin Li said in a dreamy voice.
Heron: "...Is this the common language?"
If you want to get something out of Lin Li, you need to be patient. They spent 15 minutes, guiding him a little bit, digging a little bit, and finally figured out the cause and effect.
When Lin Li followed Wei Wei out, halfway through the journey, he was suddenly inspired by a mysterious force and walked to the back of the mountain in a daze, where he found a tunnel. He went down the tunnel and walked all the way to the vault.
She also encountered a password door. Lin Li divined a number and entered it, and she guessed it right.
"If you have this ability, you don't need to study," He Lun muttered quietly, "At least you can get full marks on the multiple-choice questions."
The secret passage became wider and wider. At first it was only one meter high, but later two people could walk side by side upright. The wall panels were thin, and they could even hear the conversations of the guests outside through the wall. Gao Mengtang and others walked very lightly.
But the people outside did not lower their voices, and their conversation could be heard clearly.
"Who is that person?"
"The scavenger of the Dark Cloud, codenamed the Blind Man, the Thunder God."
"What is Thunder God trying to do? Are you trying to hurt Inari?"
"If there is one person who wants to harm Inari, it won't be Raikou, but the one who is holding the coming-of-age ceremony today."
"I agree. Chen Yuan and Inari just had a big fight, and Chen Yuan even put a knife against Inari's neck..."
"Thunder God is the most loyal to Inari. Do you remember his famous saying?"
"Hahaha, I remember that Raikou said: Yes, I am Inari's dog. But Inari's dog is more noble than a human."
After the people on the other side of the wall walked away, Gao Mengtang and others tiptoed through the secret passage and opened a door.
This is a basement with no windows. The lights are on in the room, but no one is there and the door is locked. Gao Mengtang asked Lin Li if he had ever been to this room, but Lin Li was staring at a spotless glass cabinet.
When he got closer, he saw many small ornaments in the cabinet, all of which were small skulls, eyeballs and other things, with exquisite workmanship. Gao Mengtang's eyes were immediately attracted by one of the ornaments.
It was a row of torii gates, exactly the same as the ones in the amusement park. There were a few words engraved on the base: Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine
"I remember now! No wonder the name Inari sounds familiar to me," He Lun suddenly realized, "Fushimi Inari Taisha, isn't this a tourist attraction in Japan? My family and I have been there..."
Having said this, He Lun's mood quickly dropped and he thought of his sister again.
Gao Mengtang patted his back and comforted him silently, his eyes still fixed on the landscape model of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine.
Combining the clues we got earlier, we can infer that "Inari" is an important figure in Tanhualing. He probably gave himself the flower name "Inari" because he was afraid of revealing his identity.
It is very likely that these two characters were taken from the "Fushimi Inari Taisha" scenic spot. But why did they use this scenic spot to name their own flowers?
Is it because of this whole row of Torii gates?
What is Inari's real name?
"The Torii gate distinguishes the habitat of gods from the secular place where humans live..." Gao Mengtang muttered to himself. He had a hunch that the secret of Inari was hidden in the Torii gate...
Lin Li suddenly shuddered: "Danger."
After saying that, she hid in the secret passage first, followed closely by Gao Mengtang and He Lun.
While hiding, Gao Mengtang placed the eyeball of the Hundred-Eyed Wizard on the collection shelf. The shelf was filled with collectibles, and the eyeball was difficult to find.
The door of the secret room was closed one second ago, and the door of the basement was pushed open the next second.
Chen Yuan and his college classmate Xie Wuling walked in.
"What do you want to show me?" Xie Wuling looked around the room and exclaimed, "Chen Yuan, your house is so big. I can't believe you're a rich second-generation!"
Chen Yuan's face seemed to be made of wax. Not only was he expressionless, he didn't even look like a living person. He walked to the cabinet where the Hundred-Eyed Wizard's eyeballs were hidden and opened the glass door.
I hope I won’t be discovered! Gao Mengtang felt nervous.
——Took out a round-bellied goose-neck bottle filled with black pills.
Chen Yuan poured a pill into his palm and handed it to Xie Wuling: "Eat it."
"What is this?" Xie Wuling looked at it curiously and did not answer.
Chen Yuan: “Poison.”
If this conversation happened between two other college students, there would be no doubt that the son and his father in the same dormitory were being cheap. But the word "poison" was said by Chen Yuan expressionlessly, which made people tremble.
He doesn't seem to be joking...
"Hahaha, you want to poison me to death?" Xie Wuling seemed to still think that Chen Yuan was an ordinary roommate, and laughed heartlessly.
Gao Mengtang quietly poked He Lun: "Looks like you."
Heron: “Ah?”
"Eat." Chen Yuan was a little impatient and almost covered Xie Wuling's mouth with her hand.
Xie Wuling's smile gradually disappeared, and his expression became indescribable. He stared at Chen Yuan with a bit of vigilance and even malice: "What are you doing? What kind of medicine is it? Take a bite first."
"Brother Mengtang, you misjudged it," He Lun shook his head, "Xie Wuling is quite cautious. He is pretending to be stupid, but I am really stupid. If it were me, I would have eaten it a long time ago. Eh? That's not right."
Why is he scolding himself?
The two people in the room faced each other in silence. Xie Wuling's expression gradually became as cold as an icy river in the coldest days of winter, while Chen Yuan stared at him with her lifeless eyes.
Gao Mengtang controlled the eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Wizard, switched the perspective, zoomed in, and carefully observed Chen Yuan's face.
He had definitely seen this person before. Chen Yuan's facial features were too familiar...
Suddenly! Xie Wuling raised his hand and knocked away the black pill. Chen Yuan's face darkened. With a crisp sound, the gooseneck round-bellied bottle in his hand broke on the table. Chen Yuan grabbed a handful of black pills rolling on the table and pressed them hard on Xie Wuling's face!
Chen Yuan was incredibly strong. He held Xie Wuling down like a chick. Xie Wuling's face turned red instantly and he was almost strangled to death.
As the two of them fought, Chen Yuan's expression gradually became ferocious. The 18-year-old's cheeks, which had not yet completely lost their childishness, were filled with ferocious lines. He showed a cruelty that was completely unbefitting of his age...
"The dark side is here!" Gao Mengtang exclaimed, "It's him! Bu Xiaoting's lover! I saw him once in the illusion!"
In the copy of [No people, only gold], the man Gao Mengtang saw was already a middle-aged man with a much more weathered face, so Gao Mengtang failed to recognize him at first sight.
Gao Mengtang subconsciously stroked the skull ring on the ring finger of his left hand. This ring was a prop that Gao Mengtang obtained after using the USB flash drive of the black curtain.
Before he could recover from his surprise, Xie Wuling screamed, fell to the ground, and covered his throat tightly. He seemed to be having a seizure, foaming at the mouth, struggling violently, and screaming.
He looked so painful that his forehead hit the corner of the coffee table while he was struggling, and blood was all over his face.
The man in the dark... now called Chen Yuan, sat calmly on the sofa in the middle of the room, with his back hunched, his hands on his knees, quietly watching Xie Wuling struggle.
"Why, why..." Xie Wuling tightly grasped Chen Yuan's ankle with one hand.
"You deserve it." said Chen Yuan.
The narrator of "Monster Book" begins:
[(Xie Wuling)... He is not very ordinary. After all, he was admitted to Zhongzhou University... He is an ordinary top student. ]
[Until he met Chen Yuan]
[An ordinary top student may be called a "genius" by some people, but how can he compare with a true genius?]
[A genius in the eyes of the world, he cultivated himself to become an immortal, and eventually became one of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers who surrounded and suppressed Sun Wukong. Xie Wuling was among those 100,000 people.]
[He entered the campus with the halo of a gifted child and met the real gifted child - Chen Yuan]
[After Xie Wuling studied until the early hours of the morning for four consecutive months and spent all his spare time studying his coursework, he successfully…achieved a mid-to-low-level grade. His roommate Chen Yuan, on the other hand, spent every day in a daze, doing handicrafts, playing games, and fooling around with his homework, and he got all the scholarships.]
[Xie Wuling cannot accept it]
[So, in his junior year, Xie Wuling put a strong sleeping pill and a strong laxative in Chen Yuan's cup before he took his final exam]
[What’s hateful is that the genius’ physical fitness is also far superior to that of ordinary people. Chen Yuan took part in the final exam safely and got full marks in 5 subjects as usual]
[Until now, Xie Wuling still doesn’t know whether Chen Yuan discovered that he was drugged. What is certain is that Xie Wuling never knew that Chen Yuan was also drugging him. Xie Wuling said ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■]
"Good and bad, good and bad!" He Lun was filled with righteous indignation, "Chen Yuan is also bad, even if Xie Wuling drugged him, Chen Yuan would not want to kill Xie Wuling!"
Xie Wuling's skin turned into a strange blue-black color, his fingers became long and thin, his neck became very long, and his eyes turned into a turbid green like sewage.
"Just because I drugged you?" Xie Wuling asked gritting his teeth.
Chen Yuan was like a puppet, and responded calmly: "Drug?"
"You can beat me up, or at worst, report me to the school. Why do you want to kill me?" Xie Wuling asked gritting his teeth.
Chen Yuan: "With your qualifications, you will never be able to catch up with me in your lifetime. I am helping you, you should thank me. Follow me."
After saying that, Chen Yuan stood up and shook a bell without a copper tongue. Xie Wuling's eyes rolled up as if his soul had been taken away. His body, which had fallen to the ground, broke away from gravity and flew up lightly, floating behind Chen Yuan like a ghost.
System: "The butcher [Impermanence Ghost] has awakened, please pay attention."
"Too bad!" He Lun gritted his teeth in anger and protested loudly in the mind link, "Your heart is smaller than a needle. For such a small matter, you killed your classmates! You even activated a butcher..."
Without any warning, Chen Yuan turned her head and stared straight at the corner of the glass collection cabinet where the eyeball of the Hundred-Eyed Wizard was hidden.
His deathly white face grew larger and his bony fingers reached toward his eyeballs.
Gao Mengtang hurriedly cut off the connection with his eyeball, but it was too late. Chen Yuan had already crushed his eyeball, and he felt a sharp pain deep in his eye socket. Gao Mengtang groaned, covered his eyes tightly, and his vision gradually blurred.
After the surveillance eyeball is crushed, Gao Mengtang will lose his vision for about 2 hours, and no props can restore it.
"Who's here?!" Chen Yuan asked loudly, and the voice could be heard clearly through the door.
He turned around and then walked straight towards the secret door.
"Run!" He Lun picked up Gao Mengtang and rushed into the secret passage. After turning seven or eight times, the footsteps of Chen Yuan could be heard behind him...
Boom. They turned a corner and bumped into something. When they looked up, they saw a pair of scarlet eyes. It was actually Wei Wei!
He Lun seemed to have seen a savior, and his voice trembled with excitement: "Brother Wei, hurry up--"
Before he could finish his words, He Luo's tentacles wrapped around He Lun's mouth, blocking all his sounds. The footsteps of Chen Yuan's pursuit were getting closer and closer.
Wei Wei raised his pipe, took a puff, and blew out a smoke ring.
The white smoke moved like a snake, around the corner and into Chen Yuan's ears.
Chen Yuan made a 180-degree turn on the spot and ran out at full speed along the way he came.
[101 Nine Thousand Years Old] Identity Skill [Involuntary]
Jiu Qian Sui can control the player/NPC's body, and the duration of control depends on the situation.
"Let's go." Wei Wei said, and led them through the maze-like tunnel to another room connected by a secret passage.
"You arrived just in time!" He Lun breathed a sigh of relief, "How did you find us... Who is he?"
Only then did He Lun discover that there was another NPC in the room. He was tied up like a dumpling and hung from the ceiling. He was covered in wounds, and his hands were tied behind his back. All ten fingers were broken and twisted at strange angles.
"I caught a man and used some tricks to find out the whereabouts of the blind man." Wei Wei said calmly.
Seeing that man half dead, it might be more than just "using some tricks".
Wei Wei leaned back in his chair, smoking slowly, "Not only that, there are some unexpected gains. Tell me."
Just as he finished speaking, He Luo's tentacles "snapped" towards the NPC, and he twitched and opened his eyes.
"Do you see it clearly? It's this face?" Wei Wei pointed at Gao Mengtang with his pipe.
The man's face was covered in blood, his eyes were dazed, and his severe injuries caused poor eyesight. He stared at Gao Mengtang for a few seconds and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Do you need me to teach you how to pronounce it?" Wei Wei asked in a soft voice.
The man shuddered, dangling from the ceiling. "No! No!"
"That's the guy!" the man yelled, his teeth were all broken, and when he opened his mouth, it was full of blood, "He, he looks exactly like Inari!"
Snap. The man's head was pulled off alive by He Luo, and rolled twice on the floor, his eyes still blinking.
