As the silvery-white light appeared, the entire yellow sand seemed to be instantly filtered through a layer of milk. All the frenzied villagers who were illuminated by the light stopped struggling, and the villagers continued to maintain their previous postures.
It was as if the body and soul were shackled by white liquid silk, and the whole earth suddenly fell silent.
The clothes on Yu Qirong's chest rose and fell with his breathing. He reached out and touched the dagger that fell on the ground, then struggled to get up from the ground and shook off the sand that stuck to his body.
The first thing to do when standing up is to open the system panel and confirm the number of points you have.
Yu Qirong heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the seven-digit score at the beginning.
He had thought of this method when he heard the woman from the Sun family talk about it, and the idea of actually implementing it came to him when he saw Xu Zhai come back to life with his own eyes.
As long as it works, all the pain won’t be in vain.
Yu Qirong staggered a little, his face hidden in his coat was like a blank sheet of paper. During the times when he collected money, the black fog had penetrated into his body a lot, and it was unknown how much damage it had caused.
Finally, he stopped ten steps away from Su Tang, his eyes passed over Su Tang and finally fell on Xu Zhai.
Yu Qirong asked: "What is the next process?"
Xu Zhai realized that Yu Qirong was asking him, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "We are opposites, and you ask me?"
"A lunar eclipse is roughly divided into five stages. The current stage should be the penultimate stage, the birth of light." Su Tang replied.
Yu Qirong did not respond to Su Tang's words, nor did he even turn his gaze towards him. He just kept looking at Xu Zhai, licking his lips thirstily, "It's almost over."
Xu Zhai was puzzled: "No, why are you looking at me?"
Yu Qirong pretended not to hear anything and just contacted Xia Sheng and Jing Gui. Then he sat down on the ground. The night wind blew his hair up. He stared at the yellow sand on the ground in a trance, as if there was something on it that interested him.
Xu Zhai only felt that the aura of the person who was suppressing him suddenly became weaker, and it felt that even if he didn't reach out to restrain him, he would be suppressed and unable to get up.
Meng Chan, who was sitting next to the unconscious Fu Yi, understood what was happening. After counting three Buddhist beads, he felt that the time had come: "Am I right? Do you still think it's worth it?"
Su Tang's gloomy gaze swept over, and Meng Chan subconsciously leaned back. He almost thought that Su Tang was going to draw his knife and chop at him in the next second, but Su Tang suddenly stopped and forced himself to suppress it.
Xu Zhai, who was closest to Su Tang, was the most tortured. Under the moonlight, he couldn't move at all, but was still scared to death by the low pressure that Su Tang created from time to time.
He negotiated, "Why don't you go find him? I can't move anyway."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Zhai keenly noticed that the air pressure around him had eased a lot, and even the expression of the cold-faced King of Hell was not so stern anymore.
It's like a difficult problem has finally found a breakthrough.
Su Tang released his hand that was strangling Xu Zhai's neck without hesitation. With such a clean and neat movement, Xu Zhai swallowed several mouthfuls of sand that he had brought up.
Xu Zhai made two "Puh" sounds and looked at Su Tang's anxious figure. He wondered thoughtfully whether this cold-faced devil had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
Although Yu Qirong seemed to be in a daze, he was still keenly aware of the surrounding environment. When he noticed Su Tang standing up, he stood up immediately as well and walked two steps towards the edge of the cliff, pretending not to see him.
"stop."
Su Tang's voice sounded behind him, and Yu Qirong's footsteps suddenly stopped.
He had his back to Su Tang, but he could tell that Su Tang was getting closer to him because of the sudden pain in his body.
"There's a cliff ahead, where are you planning to hide?" Su Tang's voice was very close, and it sounded as if he was right behind her. Yu Qirong couldn't quite tell whether the airflow behind her neck was caused by the wind or by Su Tang's talking.
"Hide? I didn't." Yu Qirong turned around, and his wine-red eyes looked at Su Tang's dark pupils without avoiding them, as if he saw some stars in the sky through them.
After a few breaths, Yu Qirong was the first to be defeated.
He looked away, somewhat defeated and frustrated, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Su Tang looked at him without saying anything, but his Adam's apple rolled up and down as if he wanted to say something.
Finally, he unbuttoned his coat, rummaged through his shirt pocket, took out a green jade cufflink, and handed it to Yu Qirong.
The cufflinks were round and very cute. As soon as they fell into Yu Qirong's hands, she felt a ray of warmth in her palms, which flowed along the contact points and spread all over her body, warming her body that had been damaged by the black mist.
This feeling was not bad. Yu Qirong admitted that he had some thoughts of not wanting to give it back, but he still had to draw a clear line between himself and Su Tang.
Yu Qirong swallowed his saliva and was about to refuse when he heard Su Tang speak first: "This is to return the property to its original owner."
Yu Qirong frowned, not knowing where this came from.
But Su Tang didn't seem to want to explain. After saying this, he turned and walked away. His broad shoulders and long legs gave off a sense of desolation.
Yu Qirong felt a bit strange in his heart, and called Su Tang: "How about I return your points to you, and I'll consider it as buying them from you."
Now his points have exceeded the number he wanted, so he doesn't need Su Tang's.
Su Tang seemed to have heard nothing at all and continued walking without looking back.
Ten steps later, the bone-eating pain in Yu Qirong's body returned, but it was somewhat relieved by the emerald cufflink in the palm of his hand.
The moon in the sky increased the proportion of its white color without people noticing, gradually eroding the copper-colored part.
Xia Sheng and Jing Gui were not slow, and soon the rest of the people followed.
As soon as Jinggui saw Yu Qirong's expression, he knew what had happened. According to his experience, Yu Qirong was usually in a very bad mood at this time.
It is understandable that when people are not feeling well, they tend to be more irritable.
Mirror Ghost put out those thoughts of wanting to show off his heroic fighting process. After briefly explaining a few things, he was very sensible and reduced his presence.
Meng Chan looked at the three people who came and his face was puzzled for a moment.
In his imagination, Su Tang must have survived because he had become an obedient dog of Yu Qirong. The others were of no use and should have been killed by this high-risk NPC.
I didn't expect that they are all still alive. Could it be that Yu Qirong really cares about points?
It seems unbelievable even to say it, why do high-risk NPCs need points? Do they have performance tasks to accomplish?
The three people who came had different expressions. They all heard the system's prompts and the identities of the high-risk NPCs were revealed.
Although Yu Qirong hasn't done anything out of line towards them so far, and has even helped them, he is an NPC after all, so they have to be on guard.
However, when they looked at Yu Qirong's capable subordinates, they realized that they seemed to have no means of resistance.
Others are the butchers and I am the meat, so I have to accept my fate.
At worst, I can just stay away from Yu Qirong.
Yu Qirong didn't realize at all that he was isolated. He hooked his finger at Xiangyang and brushed his hair which was sweating due to the pain, trying to let the night breeze dry it.
Xiangyang looked at Yu Qirong's hand, feeling extremely nervous.
This... he was indeed the one who brought this person in, but Yu Qirong also used an alias for him, and there was no real sincerity towards him. Now that he thought about it, Yu Qirong often showed him a look that frightened him.
He wasn't sure whether Yu Qirong would hurt him.
Yu Qirong couldn't help but look up at Xiangyang because of his overly slow movements. Xiangyang immediately trembled as if he was electrocuted, and took small steps to Yu Qirong's side.
"Turn around." Yu Qirong said.
In his hand he still held the dagger he had stolen from Xu Zhai, which looked ferocious and cold under the moonlight.
Xiangyang stood there, unable to help but glance at it. He was extremely hesitant, thinking that this high-risk NPC wouldn't be so particular, showing humanistic care when killing people, stabbing them in the back, and letting their prey go painlessly...?
"Can I ask why?" Xiangyang swallowed and asked with difficulty.
"Something happened." Yu Qirong turned the dagger in his hand and said casually.
"…What's the matter?" Xiang Yang was determined to know the truth even if he died, so he asked directly.
"Write a love letter." Yu Qirong put away the dagger, took out the paper and pen stolen from the Xu family, and told Xiangyang to turn around quickly: "There is nothing here that can be used as a cushion. Lend me your back for a while."
Su Tang, who was ten steps away, tilted his head as if he had noticed something. His eyes passed over Yu Qirong, who was writing something seriously on Xiangyang's back, and a barely perceptible expectation appeared on his cold face.
Because of the coat, Xiangyang didn't feel the pen tip scratching his back, and it didn't feel itchy.
He half bent over, supporting his legs with great difficulty, while analyzing the situation rapidly in his mind.
Yu Qirong is a high-risk NPC.
He also said that he was Tang Xingfei's boyfriend.
No, would a high-risk NPC also recognize a player as his boyfriend? Or was Yu Qirong just tricking him into coming to this S-level dungeon and then squeezing his points?
Why?
Xiangyang was puzzled. Could it be that the NPCs and the system were in cahoots with each other, specifically deceiving those of them who lived in the outer city and only entered low-level dungeons, so that they would work hard to improve themselves?
It's not worth it. An NPC with this appearance, even if he is in high risk, I think he will work harder if I use the beauty trap.
"Okay, get up."
During the time when Xiangyang was daydreaming, Yu Qirong finally endured the pain and completed his new love letter masterpiece.
Although the paper was not as high-quality as he had imagined, and the pen and ink were just so-so, Yu Qirong believed that the focus of his love letter should be on content rather than form.
He shook the paper of the love letter smugly, using the air drying method to shake off the ink, and his expression was serious and nervous, as if he was performing some kind of cultural relic restoration.
Such a serious attitude made Xiang Yang couldn't help but glance sideways to secretly see what Yu Qirong wrote.
On a large piece of white paper, there were a bunch of marks that Xiangyang couldn't understand at all, one circle after another, just like the simple sketch of waves drawn by his three-year-old nephew before he entered the game.
His eyes went dark, and he pointed at the paper in Yu Qirong's hand and asked in disbelief, "What is this?"
"A love letter." Yu Qirong's face turned pale and he looked puzzled. He folded the paper twice contentedly and put it in his coat pocket.
Does anyone really think this is a love letter?
Xiangyang's face was distorted, he had a lot of complaints to complain about but had no place to vent them. He looked around and saw the expectation in the distance that Su Tang had not had time to hide.
The author has something to say:
Su Tang: Yes, I think so.
