Bai Shi had a relatively long sleep that night. Chen Bao had asked him to keep watch the nights before, so he was a little sleep-deprived.
Bai Shi was a little confused because he could still dream of Chen Bao's ferocious appearance before his death. He did deliberately tell Chen Bao that Yu Qirong was an NPC, and a ghost, but he deliberately concealed Yu Qirong's name and let Chen Bao write a wrong one on top.
He had a desire for revenge, but the writing and the scratching were all done by Chen Bao himself and had nothing to do with him.
If Chen Bao hadn't had the intention to harm others, he wouldn't have died.
Someone kicked him twice on the back with the toe of a shoe. Su Tang told him to get up: "Get up, you're shaking like a sieve."
Bai Shi pulled down his clothes and turned around to see Yu Qirong who had just come out of the bedroom. Her snow-white hair seemed to be a little frizzy due to being rubbed against the soft pillow and quilt, and she looked a little lazy compared to usual.
There was a hint of red at the corners of her eyes, as if she had just woken up. Her scarlet pupils glanced at the two of them, then she turned and went into the bathroom.
His view was blocked by someone, Bai Shi looked up and happened to see Su Tang's warning eyes.
"..." Bai Shi lowered his head and turned over his clothes, pretending that he had not seen anything just now.
That was what happened in Lanxi Ghost School. The guy named Lu Pingsha was also bewitched by Yu Qirong and thought he was clear-headed. In fact, his bewilderment was too obvious.
Su Tang was probably also the person that Yu Qirong had bewitched in this copy. She didn't even dare to let him know her identity. She must have just bewitched him and used him for her own benefit. Maybe she took a fancy to his good fighting skills?
While tying the loose string on his coat, Bai Shi thought that this NPC probably just liked to play with people's hearts and used his good looks to look for people who were worth using.
Fortunately, he was not fooled.
When Su Tang saw Bai Shi get up from the ground, he followed Yu Qirong into the bathroom.
The bathroom was small to begin with, and it seemed even more cramped with two people squeezed in. Yu Qirong looked at him with a frown, holding a toothbrush in one hand and a cup full of water in the other, obviously brushing his teeth.
Su Tang was afraid that his intention to come in and get close to Yu Qirong was too obvious, so he could only pretend to be very impatient and walked straight to the toilet.
The sound of water splashing was heard. Yu Qirong had no intention of prying into other people's privacy. She stared straight at the mirror in front of her.
After draining the water, Su Tang looked at Yu Qirong cautiously and slowly moved towards the door, thinking about whether there was any reason for him to stay here.
Yu Qirong had almost finished brushing, so he rinsed his mouth twice and called him: "Are you a player?"
Su Tang shuddered all over, thinking that Yu Qirong had seen something, but when he looked at Yu Qirong's face in the mirror, he couldn't see anything, so he had to reply: "Yes, or I'll let some blood show you."
"...No need," Yu Qirong raised his eyebrows, "I think you are in good health."
After he said that, he threw the disposable toothbrush into the trash can and put the toothbrush holder back to its original place. He ignored Su Tang who was standing there in a state of shock and simply opened the door and went out.
Outside, Bai Shi got the breakfast and was putting it on the table. When he saw Yu Qirong coming, he didn't dare to say a word. He took his own portion and shrank into a small corner.
Yu Qirong ate and looked at Bai Shi's back thoughtfully.
Bai Shi seems to have a lot of tricks up his sleeve. The notebook might not be in his hand, but if it's just for self-defense, it doesn't matter. But if he wants to attack him...
His thoughts stopped and he started thinking about something else.
The quality of the clones seems to be better than that of ordinary people. He can handle it, but I don’t know if the professor can do it.
Yu Qirong bit his chopsticks and was stunned. When did he care so much about the players? He was obviously an NPC and not of the same kind. Why did he pay so much attention to irrelevant people?
But the professor seemed to really like him and thought he was a good kid who loved to study.
He slowed down his eating pace until Su Tang came out of the bathroom and sat next to him, then he came to his senses.
"Today we are going out to actively hunt clones." Yu Qirong said.
Su Tang was still immersed in his words "I'm in good health", which seemed to imply some kind of compliment to him. It was only after Yu Qirong said it twice that he realized what he had said.
"How to hunt?" Su Tang asked.
Yu Qirong didn't say anything, her eyes fell on him, and Su Tang suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Su Tang's body was covered with wounds and blood was dripping, soaking his clothes. A strong smell of blood spread over his body.
Yu Qirong mercilessly scratched his body with a sharp piece of paper and pressed the wound with his hand to make more blood flow out.
Su Tang gritted his teeth, doubting that Yu Qirong had already seen that he was not himself. He did not believe that Yu Qirong would treat Tang Xingfei like this. He did not expect that the suffering he had never suffered from the system would be suffered from Yu Qirong.
"You praised me for my good health, isn't that just for this?" he asked through gritted teeth.
Bai Shi seemed to have heard some extraordinary words, turned his back and walked away.
Yu Qirong looked up at him as a matter of course, his hands still moving, and asked, "What else?"
"..." Su Tang wanted to swear, but then he remembered that Tang Xingfei didn't do that, so he closed his mouth again.
The wound that Yu Qirong cut was not deep. After all, although the edge of the white paper was sharp, it was not a useful weapon. It could only cause a little bleeding and healed in a short while.
"Since the clones feed on flesh and blood, it means they are very sensitive to the smell of blood." Yu Qirong stopped and explained, "You act as bait, which will definitely attract the clones. Then we can kill them all at once."
Su Tang stood up with his back to Yu Qirong, grinning, and turned around to ask: "If I'm in any danger, will you come to save me?"
Yu Qirong nodded: "Of course."
In the empty office, there was a man covered in wounds. He was breathing rapidly, as if he had been seriously injured. Blood soaked through his clothes. A strong smell of rust wafted over, which in "his" eyes was an extremely delicious dish.
Bai Shi hid behind the wall, watching "Su Tang" approaching Su Tang, while paying attention to whether there were other clones coming from other places.
Yu Qirong was curled up under an office desk not far from Su Tang who was lying on the ground, his eyes fixed on the clone who was only looking at Su Tang who was covered in blood.
Their eyes don't seem to be very flexible and they have to rely on sound and smell to make things clear. They can only see clearly when they are close, as if they are severely myopic.
Su Tang crawled on the ground, and chose a perspective facing Yu Qirong with great care, so as not to appear indecent in front of Yu Qirong. As a result, Yu Qirong seemed to have not noticed his little thoughts at all, and only focused on the clone behind him.
As he crawled forward, he kept his eyes on Yu Qirong.
The place where Yu Qirong was hiding was extremely narrow, and it felt like his entire body was compressed. He already looked slender and weak, and now it seemed as if he was folded up, looking indescribably well-behaved.
Su Tang liked Yu Qirong like this. The high and mighty Yu Qirong always reminded him of some unpleasant things.
When they got closer, Yu Qirong suddenly came out from under the table and threw out a lace umbrella. The sharp tip of the umbrella pierced into "Su Tang's" body and instantly turned into a pile of insects on the ground.
In the room judgment, the flower umbrella is obviously not a weapon, it is probably more like a decoration. Especially when the physical strength is reduced by 70%, except for Yu Qirong, it is estimated that few people can use this thing as a weapon.
Su Tang stood up with a look of disgust on his face and stayed away from the bugs on the ground.
"Do you feel anything?" Yu Qirong put the umbrella back into the warehouse, thinking that he had to go back and take a shower, otherwise he would not be able to keep the umbrella.
"No." Su Tang shook his head.
Hearing this, Yu Qirong frowned in confusion. If the purpose of the selection room was to let the mother and the clones fight each other, then how would he know whether his clone was dead or not?
What if he died in a place where I didn't see him? Wouldn't that mean we wouldn't know about it at all?
Bai Shi ran over from behind the wall, glanced at the pile of bugs on the ground with lingering fear, and said, "There are no new clones coming over there. What do you mean, do you want to change places?"
Yu Qirong glanced at him and said, "Have you seen your clone?"
Bai Shi paused and shook his head.
"I have a guess, I don't know if it's right," Yu Qirong curled his index finger and tilted the table, "He bled, and what came out was his clone, could it be..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Shi understood what he meant. His face turned pale. Bai Shi waved his hands and expressed his resistance to Yu Qirong: "I can't do it. I'm afraid of pain. Can we just meet by chance..."
Su Tang didn't want to be in pain alone, so he said, "Do you still want to pass it? Why are you afraid of pain as a grown man?"
Bai Shi was about to cry, and waved his hands while backing away: "I really can't..."
Seeing that he was really resisting, Yu Qirong did not force his habit and had to ask everyone to go back to the room first and clean up the bloody clothes.
"It's twelve o'clock." Bai Shi leaned against the door, swallowed his saliva, and kept an eye on when the food would be delivered.
Yu Qirong had some unanswered questions in his mind, so he had no appetite to eat.
One is the problem of clones, and the other is that I haven't seen them taught yet.
Logically, they should be almost there, and the room isn't that hard to find, unless they died along the way and can't make it.
Yu Qirong was curled up in the sofa, her hair fell on the backrest and then hung down. Su Tang's eyes wandered, and he wanted to reach out and touch her, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he had to move slowly towards her.
Yu Qirong just happened to hear the sound and turned around to look. Su Tang had no choice but to retract his hand awkwardly and pretend nothing had happened.
"Are you done with it?" Yu Qirong glanced at Su Tang's current clothes. They were clean and tidy, not at all like he was just now in a mess.
Su Tang nodded, and just as he was about to sit next to him as it was natural, he saw Bai Shi trotting over in fear.
"Is the meal ready?" Yu Qirong raised his eyes and asked.
"No, no," Bai Shi gasped, waved his hands vigorously, and pointed outside the door, "I saw it, I saw the second clone of Su Tang!"
Su Tang paused, looking sharply at the door, then looked at Yu Qirong again. Seeing that he didn't have much reaction, he smiled and said, "It seems that I am very popular. I cloned so many of them... I'll go and deal with them."
Just as he was about to take a step forward, Yu Qirong grabbed his wrist. His fingers were cold, but the strength he conveyed was irresistible.
"I'll go take a look." Yu Qirong stood up, took a few steps to the door, and leaned over slightly to look into the peephole.
Su Tang's fingers were almost curled into a ball, and he looked at Yu Qirong's back with some uneasiness.
After a few seconds, Yu Qirong straightened up, looked back at Su Tang who was standing there, and then turned the doorknob.
Outside the door was another person who looked exactly like Su Tang. Although their faces looked exactly the same, Yu Qirong could still tell the difference between them at a glance. Temperament is difficult to change. Even with the same face, the feeling it gives people is very different - at least that's the case with Yu Qirong.
"You're here?" Yu Qirong asked, his tone mixed with grievance that he himself was not aware of, as if he was complaining.
"..." Su Tang outside the door paused, looked at him with his dark eyes, his expression clear, his voice cold but gentle, "I'm late."
After saying that, his dark eyes turned and he looked directly at the person inside. His gaze was like a sharp knife, carrying a cold chill.
"Lu Zichu." He moved his lips, and his voice seemed to be tempered with ice.
Lu Zichu let out the breath that was stuck in his chest, shrugged, and changed his expression in front of everyone, "In this case, I don't have to endure the disgust and wear your skin."
Yu Qirong turned around and looked at Lu Zichu. Lu Zichu was not ugly in reality. He didn't look like an ordinary person. If you looked closely, he was handsome.
But in Yu Qirong's aesthetic taste, Tang Xingfei and Su Tang are slightly better.
"You know why you use this face." Su Tang snorted coldly.
Yu Qirong folded his arms, leaned against the door, watched the two people arguing with a smile on his lips, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
In the previous instance, Tang Xingfei and A Fei were not so confrontational.
Why?
Bai Shi was stunned, afraid that he would hear something he shouldn't hear, but someone was blocking the door and he couldn't run out. He had to listen with a pale face, fearing that he would be silenced at any time for "knowing too much."
It seems that the two mistresses of this high-risk NPC have seen each other and are about to fight.
The two of them didn't see eye to eye and the whole room was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Lu Zichu glanced at Yu Qirong, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and took out a colorful rubber band from the warehouse.
Yu Qirong's eyelids twitched.
"Do you know what this is?" Lu Zichu proudly showed off the rubber band in his hand. Seeing Su Tang's increasingly dark face, he felt even happier. "This is the rubber band that the person behind you gave me. I heard that he didn't give it to you? Ah, what a pity."
"It's a pity that only I have this thing, and you don't."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Qirong suddenly felt that the atmosphere around Su Tang was different.
Su Tang, who was originally like a piece of ice, suddenly felt as if he had been immersed in a thousand-year-old cold pond for a long time. The chill was overwhelming, and his gaze was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, piercing straight into Lu Zichu.
Not only did Lu Zichu not feel afraid, he even felt that he was actually better.
"..." Yu Qirong looked at the two people, not knowing how to end it.
But Su Tang sneered and said in a low voice: "I have something that you don't have, but you don't even have the qualifications to take a look at it."
love letter.
A love letter written by Yu Qirong herself.
He originally wanted to compare it with others, but then he thought again, why should Lu Zichu get it for free? What was given to him was his, and no one else could even think of looking at it.
Lu Zichu's face changed several times, thinking about the mysterious object that Yu Qirong had been pestering for so long, but he hadn't told her about it. It turned out to be only for Su Tang! Even if he used Su Tang's face and imitated his personality, he still couldn't get equal treatment!
Yu Qirong listened to the whole thing. Su Tang mentioned this, which meant that he did have the memory. Then why was he unwilling to admit it when asked?
Like Tang Xingfei, unable to speak?
Yu Qirong's heart skipped a few beats. He felt like he had grasped something, but it was still unclear.
Lu Zichu seemed to remember something, laughed twice, and whispered: "At this time, have you had enough of the punishment from the Lord God? It's very uncomfortable, but you didn't complete the Lord God's task, so you deserve the punishment. This time, join hands with me and make up for your mistakes. Maybe the Lord God will trust you again... What do you think?"
Bai Shi looked at Lu Zichu in fear, then at Su Tang. They were actually sent by the Lord God? What about that side quest?
Yu Qirong looked up at Su Tang. Just by looking at his profile, she could tell that he had deep eyebrows, sharp eyebrows, beautiful eyes, and his thin lips were just right. It was obvious that he was a little nervous.
Seeing Yu Qirong observing Su Tang, Lu Zichu felt very happy.
He has come to understand in the past few days that Yu Qirong is a very suspicious person. He will repeatedly test a matter, and even if he gets the result, he will not show it.
He deliberately brought up the topic of the Lord God purely to disgust Tang Xingfei and plant the seeds of suspicion between the two of them. One day - perhaps not long after, there will be a crack in their relationship, and he can take advantage of it...
Yu Qirong's white and slender fingers stroked Su Tang's shoulders and slowly moved to his neck. There was some indescribable emotion in her scarlet eyes.
He knew that Su Tang would not harm him, and that was enough.
"Does it hurt?" Yu Qirong asked in Su Tang's ear.
Su Tang was startled, and his deep eyes peered into Yu Qirong's wine-red pupils. He only saw concern, but no suspicion or distrust. This seemed to heal the wounds on his body that had been eroded by the black mist and had not yet recovered, and he even forgot some of the pain.
He shook his head in silence.
“……” When Lu Zichu saw the interaction between the two, he almost wanted to poke his eyes out.
Isn't Yu Qirong suspicious? Doesn't she have many means of testing? Why is she so considerate at this time?
