Chapter 79: The Girl in the Flower Cave
There are many legends and anomalies in Xiangxi, so the Xiangxi Administration Bureau branch is also very large.
"It's much bigger than ours—" Yi Yun looked at the building in shock, which was ten times bigger than our branch.
"After all, our branch covers many areas." Ning Ruolan said in front. As an acquaintance of ours, Ning Ruoyu took the initiative to lead us.
"There's so much to prepare at home this time, so my sister is helping out, so I snuck out." She walked over to Bai Zhi and me and said, "Sister Yingying, how come you've grown so tall? The last time we met was at an exchange meeting a few months ago. You weren't this tall then, were you?!"
I:……
What can I say?
Zhou Tianqi has entered the growth period!
Boys' development period is originally later than girls, but once they enter development period, their height increases like a rocket.
"But it's great to be so tall. It makes me feel safe." Ning Ruolan said.
Bai Zhi: "During the last mission, Yingying was able to give me a princess carry!"
That's for running away, for maximum efficiency!
Ning Ruolan: "Eh?! I want Yingying's princess hug too—"
No, no, no——
Men and women should not touch each other.
Don't come over here—
[We've completely become besties, host.]
"Stop chattering around my sister. You'd better practice instead. Ah Ying and I have both been A-level Special Grade for five years, and you two, one has been A-level Second Grade for three years, and the other just got promoted to A-level Third Grade."
Zhou Tianqi pulled me behind him and stood in front of the two of them.
"Who cares about you, little pervert? Men shouldn't get involved in girls' affairs." Ning Ruolan exploded first.
Very good, Zhou Tianqi is still that familiar broken mouth.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry, sisters," I quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Sister Lanlan, Sister Zhi, anything will be fine once we finish this mission and come back!"
"My brother has no bad intentions!"
After hearing my last two sentences, they both gave me complicated looks.
Okay, stop talking. I know you will say that my filter is too heavy, but what can I do? I am the one who is favored!
[Well, host, you are speaking in a stammering manner now.]
…
Because this is a special operation, in addition to our branch, there are many people from other branches, and it is limited to personnel of Class A and above.
Finally, the team preparing to enter the mountain was divided into ten teams, mainly to rescue people. The anomaly "Fallen Flower Cave Girl" has existed for so many years, and the management bureau has never thought of eliminating it.
The disappearance of hundreds of young women this time is the reason why the administration attaches so much importance to this.
It was suddenly closed for six years, and then such a big accident happened when it was reopened. Everyone felt that something had changed in "Fallen Flower Cave Girl".
However, this change is obviously not a good one. Even the intensity of anomalies in various places is getting stronger year by year, and the number of heaven-level and earth-level tasks is increasing every year.
Compared to ten years ago, the increase is almost 30%.
"So our mission, besides rescuing people, is to investigate the cause," Zhou Tianqi said to me, holding a folder. "We are the only two people known to have eliminated two anomalies mentioned in the Black Book. Therefore, this is a secret mission and cannot be shared with anyone else."
"But Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle both warned us not to enter the abnormal space of the 'Fallen Flower Cave Girl' together."
I also find this matter very strange. This is something that my second uncle and fourth uncle came to us separately to emphasize before we set off.
Zhou Tianqi was silent for a moment.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
He didn't answer my question directly.
There's probably something he doesn't want me to know.
Zhou Tianqi would not lie, but he chose not to say anything. It was probably related to the events of the first week.
————————
The anomaly of "Fallen Flower Cave Girl" always appears silently, but there are traces to follow.
Because it will choose the "bride".
In the legends of ordinary people, it is about choosing the bride of the mountain god.
But this time, hundreds of young women disappeared, and the number of "brides" was too large.
In addition, there are many mountains in Xiangxi, so no one knows where these women are hidden.
Fortunately, the Administration has already figured out this abnormal pattern.
1-The bride must be in a cave in some mountain.
2- The bride has no self-awareness.
3-The bride will definitely die on the seventieth day after her disappearance.
The team entering the mountain dispersed from different locations, and with the help of the national army, the search for the missing people was very fast. The four of us walked in front, followed by fully armed troops.
Various professional drones and detectors are more advanced than ours.
“Stop.”
Zhou Tianqi had already drawn his sword, and the moment he finished speaking, the drone seemed to have hit something and fell.
The surrounding trees were rustling in the wind, and one could faintly hear a woman crying.
"—Don't go any further. Leave the rest to us." Zhou Tianqi said to the squad leader following behind us, "It's very dangerous from now on."
The squad leader didn't look much older than us. He nodded and saluted. "Then I'll leave it to you. We'll be waiting here for you."
"Okay, be careful." He glanced at me, and I took out a bunch of talismans from the mirror and stuffed them into the squad leader's hands.
"Each of you should place two of these in a conspicuous place. Once the talismans are burned, follow them down the mountain."
"Okay, we got it."
"Hide." Yi Yun opened his mouth and a mysterious voice came out of his mouth.
A golden light enveloped the four of us.
"That barrier must be conditional," he explained. "The wind can blow in, but drones can't."
So if we become invisible we should be able to get in?
Zhou Tianqi was still walking in front, his hand passing through.
We went in.
It was still the same mountain road, but when I looked back I couldn’t see the other people who were still parked there.
Walking up the mountain road, the entire forest was silent and without any sound, probably because it was isolated from birds and animals.
"The shy flower knows how to speak, the gentle jade has fragrance."
"Even though they become a perfect match after a long time, how can I not weep over the passage of time?"
A melodious melody suddenly rang in our ears, surrounding us, and we couldn't tell where it came from.
"My mind seems crazy, my heart is drunk, last night and today, I have lost... my waistline."
I felt a gust of wind surrounding me, and in an instant the bronze mirror on my waist began to glow.
A cold light flashed across Bai Zhi's Mo Dao.
The huge pull swept us both up.
"Marriage is limited, so it is peaceful..."
The voice became a little sharp, and the force pulling Baizhi and me became stronger. Zhou Tianqi's hand had already grabbed my hand, resisting the pulling force tightly.
"Aying——"
But the force of the wind is extremely strong, and our methods seem to be of no use.
"Aying—remember this," Zhou Tianqi shouted at me, seeing that he was about to lose control, "Get married! Don't get married."
"Go find the marriage certificate."
The moment he finished speaking, Baizhi and I were swept away.
"The longing that cannot be left behind is now gone."
The voice was gentle and then calm.
"Tianqi." Yi Yun looked at Zhou Tianqi, who had a grim expression.
"Go find a cave." Zhou Tianqi's face turned cold. "They were pulled into an abnormal space."
He quickened his pace, sword in hand, "I need to find a way to get in."
…
When I regained consciousness, I noticed that I was sitting in a room that looked like a woman's boudoir. There was an old carved wooden bed, an old wooden table, wooden windows, rusty window bars, a locked door, and some moldy steamed buns and porridge on the table.
There was a circle around a date on the old calendar, and on the table was a piece of red paper with an auspicious date written on it, which was only two days different from the time on the calendar.
And I was wearing a red wedding dress.
Wedding dress.
Brain crash.
I finally arrived at the ultimate in women's clothing - the wedding dress.
Although it wasn't a very exaggerated style, just a red skirt, but because it was the most gorgeous thing compared to the environment of the room, I recognized it as a wedding dress at a glance.
[It seems that you, the host, are completely incoherent now due to the shock.]
It's your turn. Come on.
【None of them have bodies.】
I will spend 100,000 points to redeem it for you now.
[Host, calm down. You can't use the bodies in the mall on anyone!]
I sat down on the edge of the bed. What was there to not understand now?
I was chosen as the bride.
"Fallen Flower Cave Girl" knows that I am a man and still does this!
[Host, it knows you, but it doesn't know you are you. I think it might only catch women.]
…
Oh, I see. There's still room for improvement. As long as I don't face it face to face, it probably won't recognize me.
But besides me, Baizhi should also be chosen as the bride now.
Zhou Tianqi told me not to get married, because he meant that once I got married, I might fall into the rules of "Fallen Flower Cave Girl" and it would be like "Upside Down Temple", where once I go forward, there is no turning back.
In other words, the key [marriage certificate] can only be obtained before getting married.
The auspicious date on the table is my “wedding” date.
So I only have two days left.
I shook the doorknob again, but the door was locked tightly, as if it was welded shut. The windows were also sealed tightly, and I couldn't hear any sound from outside.
I thought about it and simply tied my hair into a ponytail.
[Ding Di Ding - Stage 4: The Girl in the Flower Cave
Find a way to escape safely in the mountain god's domain.
Mission reward: 100,000 points]
Oh, if you want to make money, make it big.
"Its form is there, its behavior is not." The flame in my hand condensed into a red sword. I don't know where the bronze mirror on my body went. It was probably because in this space, all "external objects" were blocked.
But my flame is still there.
My flame is the most yang fire, which restrains all abnormalities.
The flaming sword struck the door.
A black mark appeared on the door, but there was no sign of it opening.
...Are there any rules for this room?
It will not be opened until the day of marriage.
It will be too late when you get there!
I tried to hack at the windows, but that didn't help. Then I hacked at everything in the room.
Only the moldy steamed bun and porridge were damaged by me.
speechless.
[Host, props and props. 】
Um?
I looked through my props, but nothing seemed to be usable...
wrong.
I opened the description of the item with the title "Bossy President".
[Title: Domineering CEO]: Limited-time use of the title, 10 minutes per use, 24-hour cooldown.
As a domineering boss, there are always some privileges. As long as you want, the world can be yours.
Randomly trigger the language system confusion effect. 】
…
use.
A mysterious feeling enveloped me.
I don't know why, but I feel like the whole world is in my control now.
Haha, this president can do everything.
[…Ahem.]
System, who do you think you are coughing at?
【……】
...No, what am I talking about!
"Oh, you think you can lock me up with just a small wooden door? I want to get out of here in three minutes."
ah?
"If you can't do it, you will leave Zhou Enterprise tomorrow."
No, wait, what is Zhou Enterprises?!
What the hell am I talking about?!
Then the door opened with a violent movement.
"President...don't chase me away."
“……?”
It was the melodious female voice that had just kidnapped me.
No, wait a minute, this title has such a wide impact?!
Directly reduce the intelligence of abnormalities, right?
I walked out of the room in amazement. Outside was a deep cave. I looked back and found that my room was embedded in the rock wall of the cave, and as far as I could see, there was a door every one meter.
I adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses that had appeared on my face without me noticing. "Open the door for me. You don't want to be unemployed, do you, Ma'am?"
No, no, this isn't a domineering CEO at all! ?
This is the line that only a yellow-haired NOR would say, right? ? ?
Then the next second, all the doors opened.
But no one came out.
