Chapter 137 The Ouija Board (14) [Ahhh, Ah Tan, you're so cruel...]
Xie Tan walked out of the old teaching building and saw Chang Mingai.
"Why do you still have such a long face? Children should smile more."
"Chang Ming'ai" is like an elder who likes to tease children during festivals, giving Xie Tan a few candies while he himself keeps chewing on them.
The hard candy crumbled between my lips and teeth, sounding like a shard of glass tumbling around.
"You really like to take people by surprise." Xie Tan knew who it was when he heard Chang Mingai's voice in such a disgusting tone. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw a repulsive mouth on her doll-like face.
Sun Enze was taken away by the cult leader.
Then he is probably...
Xie Tan's face turned cold.
"Alright, stop pretending. You didn't stop me from taking your little tools, so you're basically agreeing that I'll do it, right? Clear division of labor." The cult leader put the clown card, which hadn't dared to move, back into Xie Tan's pocket, patted it, and praised, "How did you even come up with that? My little follower was actually left to you by my second-in-command as a errand boy, yet you were the first to refine him, and then you took the little girl away in one go. The two most difficult ones are gone just like that. You were quick and decisive."
The cult leader opened the car door for Xie Tan, who remained silent for a moment before getting in.
The cult leader drove the sedan with the exhilarating feeling of a race car: "These are all targets you've had your eye on all along, right? I've learned something. It turns out that maintaining an icy demeanor can also manipulate people's hearts. They only realized at the moment of their death that monsters like us don't have 'friends'... It's all a hunting game, hahahaha."
The phrase "monsters like us" offended Xie Tan. He gripped the handle and said coldly, "Don't blame me for vomiting on you."
"You're not as frank as your mother. You killed Chang Ming'ai so quickly, wasn't it just so I could replace her and take over the clock? Do you know who your allies are and who can help you get revenge?"
They returned to the clubhouse, and it was already 8 o'clock. However, it was a new day, the 29th, the third day of the carnival.
The cult leader ran up happily, her body perfectly suited to a beautiful girl, shouting, "Let me see who's the next offering~ Ah, shouldn't there be a ritual partner by now?"
Sun Enze is likely to meet a bad end, so the other half of the ceremony should be Sun Enyou.
Xie Tan was processing the cult leader's words and the current situation in his mind. When he arrived at the travel agency, Xia Wujin was still asleep. The cult leader strolled around the travel agency like he was browsing a market, casually poking at the seashell wind chimes he had brought back from Fushui Town.
Xie Tan breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully Sun Enyou wasn't there.
"Why hasn't she woken up yet... Oh, her birth chart is unstable, her destiny has been turbulent recently. I forgot, you married in someone else's place. Oh dear, your mother passed away early, and I, as your uncle, am your closest relative. It's such an important life event, and I missed it. It's truly a shame! How can I explain this to your mother? This time, I can't let anything happen to you again. I'll help you do whatever you want, so that when you go down to see her, I can speak to her and she won't resent me..."
Xie Tan was annoyed by his noise.
Su He had made the same joke, but he was very careful not to mention her existence, because she was not someone he could easily talk about. Even a nickname for her was heavy enough, and he had to probe her little by little so as not to lose his voice.
The person in front of me spoke with great emotion, every word like a shout on a theatrical stage, always referring to her, because she was really nothing special.
He dances a duet alone on stage, and with a wave of his hand, she is like the air fluttering beneath his grasp, needing neither substance nor existence.
Xie Tan recalled for the first time what it felt like to hate someone.
An ally... him?
"You won't see her," Xie Tan said calmly.
The cult leader suddenly fell silent, turned his head like an owl, stared at him with wide eyes.
Those eyes were more like an animal's gaze fixed on its target in the dark than a human's: "Do you think I shouldn't go to heaven, or that she should go to hell?"
Xie Tan smiled calmly: "I don't believe in that."
He's fine when he doesn't laugh, but when he does laugh, there's always a hint of mockery in his expression, like his mischievous nature.
Thus, those cold, impersonal "most of the time" statements became emotionless pronouncements.
For example, that sentence just now.
On the windowsill, a caramel-colored leopard stretched lazily, its long limbs suggesting it had just woken up.
It leaped down lightly, slowly passing by the unsuspecting Xia Wujin and the sect leader, and landed on the tea table in front of Xie Tan. It lowered its tail, the tip of which then twitched upwards.
Are you awake? In the Yin Peach Blossom chapter, he jumped to the past. Cat No. 7 had been asleep and hadn't appeared. He thought that this time, even jumping to the future, he wouldn't be able to see his cat for the time being.
He resisted the urge to pet the cat, his annoyance with the cult leader growing even stronger.
That annoying guy is getting in his way, preventing him from petting the cat.
Cat God must have heard his call. The cult leader peeked out from the doorway before finally going out: "Is only one person awake today? I'll go explore. Maybe I'll find some unexpected surprises."
The footsteps faded cheerfully into the elevator.
"The comic has been updated, meow~" The cat rubbed against Xie Tan's palm.
Xie Tan patted its head: "Did you sleep well?"
The cat responded to him with a soft, purring sound, like a little motorcycle.
So Xie Tan opened the comic app, and sure enough, it had been updated.
While comic book updates are generally viewed as having a fixed frequency by readers, Xie Tan's comic app doesn't follow this pattern; it's based on the amount of plot development. Sometimes events that happen within a few hours are enough to fill a chapter, while other times it might take several days or weeks for the plot to unfold—a very long time span.
Therefore, his comic updates are always unpredictable. Even if he is always checking his phone, he will sometimes miss the latest update if he doesn't receive a reminder from his cat.
But for this story, the comic was updated every two days as the next day approached.
Is there a pattern to this?
He will verify it again when he goes there on the 29th.
The new episode begins with him returning to the travel agency as if nothing had happened.
Sun Enze recounted the situation to Chang Mingai, his throat becoming dry from talking, so he casually handed her two cans of the cola they often drank.
He ignored Chang Mingai's questioning glances and winks, offered no further explanation, and disregarded the hesitation in Sun Enze's words caused by him.
He acted as if he hadn't participated in anything, and wasn't afraid of what Sun Enze would say or how Chang Mingai would react.
It's none of my business.
"You guys go ahead," he said wearily, seemingly tired.
[Wow, just imagine myself in Enze's shoes, it's terrifying!]
[I understand. It's like witnessing a devil commit murder, only to be spared yourself, and then having to explain what happened to those who don't know the truth in front of the devil... Let's see who says Enze is cowardly. He only glanced at Atan three times!]
Fortunately, Ah-Tan wasn't smiling on the side, otherwise it would have been even more terrifying.
I think the scariest thing is that Ah Tan didn't react at all...
[This means Ah Tan has already written everything in the Book of Life and Death, so it doesn't matter what you say, what you think, or whether you guessed it or not, haha.]
I'm out of ideas.
[I hate it when the main characters fight amongst themselves at times like this! Who are they supposed to side with? Stop fighting! Wouldn't it be better if we were all one family, united against a common enemy?]
[Ah Tan: Just a pawn. I don't have a home anymore, thank you.]
All I can say is, Xiao Ai, run! Run with Enze! Aaaaaaah!
【Don't go to the old teaching building! It's definitely Atanbu's trap! He's just waiting for you to fall in!】
【Ohhhhh, Xiao Ai didn't go!】
[Little Ai is amazing! She was also playing Ah Tan, and she sensed something was wrong!]
[You realized it when you heard about Xi Rui, right? I'm doomed. My high school team, there has to be a chance, please!]
[Ah Tan: Begging is useless.]
[Xiao Ai described the calm madman very tactfully.]
[That's how our main characters in the Qi family are; though their sincerity may be fake, they truly understand.]
Our team has also reached this point... Being able to pinpoint the enemy's location immediately speaks volumes about our understanding of them.
Xie Tan sighed inwardly. Just as he had thought, everyone would assume he was the one who did it, and he couldn't explain himself... Who would believe him? They'd probably all think it was his new conspiracy!
He even suspected that the real mastermind had seen through him long ago and was using his persona to deceive others.
That feeling of irritation rose again, and my neck twitched suddenly.
Xie Tan rubbed his temples; his head was throbbing more and more, and the side effects of the time jump were gradually taking effect.
Hopefully, the pheromones won't get completely out of control before it ends.
The dormitory building... What did they encounter in the dormitory building?
Then, Xie Tan saw a familiar scene.
When he heard the knocking, he immediately pictured a pair of feet opening the door.
That's how the ghost lured him to the old teaching building.
But when he looked at the forum, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
[This scene looks so familiar...those white sneakers!!]
[The high school group's adventure in searching for school ghost stories! Rui Rui even saw something in the black mist of the tomb!]
[Holy crap, this isn't the ghost from the suicide case! It is!]
Oh my god, could it really be what I'm thinking?!
Xie Tan had also thought of that.
This is Xi Rui's way of hinting at Chang Ming'ai.
Sure enough, Chang Mingai saw it at a glance.
They are best friends, so naturally they have the best understanding.
So, in the dimly lit room where the ghost was hanging, Chang Mingai began to chant the incantation to summon the spirit of the Ouija board.
[Absolutely! Xiao Ai didn't refer to anyone, she just asked "Is it you?", but the spirit of the Ouija board answered... because the spirit of the Ouija board knew what she was asking, I can't take it anymore!]
[Oh my god, what happened to the plot twist? Rui Rui confirmed that he really is dead!]
Ah Tan, you have such a cruel heart.
[At the level of someone who can sit at the same table as the God of Swords.]
[So Ah Tan is the real son of the Sword God! This ruthless, heartless, and indiscriminate killing spree... hahaha, I'm not crazy, waaaaaah!]
I still don't believe it. Xiao Ai directly asked if it was Atan, and Rui Rui gave an "S" answer. There must be something going on!
[Stop hypnotizing yourself upstairs, look down, this is exactly what Ah Tan planned...]
Xie Tan had a bad feeling. He jumped to the back first. When Sun Enze woke up, he ran to the old teaching building and saw him in front of the real suicide ghost. He casually said, "Another one."
In the comic, the boy looks at the hanging ghost, as if he is looking at something else through the ghost, and he is talking about "something else".
But when he looked over, Sun Enze shuddered in horror.
Those eyes were utterly indifferent; in reality, they held nothing.
Whether it's a ghost, a person, or... him at this moment.
Oh my god!
[It's really here at Atan's place!!]
[Oh my god, so while they were talking... Ah Tan knew that Xiao Ai knew the truth before she left!!]
[Then I saw Ah Tan drinking water and resting without any reaction at all... ahhhhh, that's terrifying!]
[It wasn't that late. Leaving behind a flawed blessing was just to lure Xiao Ai to Rui Rui, wasn't it?]
[Xiao Ai was being silly with the chainsaw, and I thought she was cleverly escaping, but actually, it was A-Tan who deliberately let her go again!]
[Doesn't Xiao Ai realize something's wrong? Rui Rui has already disappeared, how can she make the same mistake? They're already enemies, and she still hasn't realized that Atan deliberately let them go??]
[It doesn't matter, because it's an open conspiracy with no solution. All of Xiao Ai's vigilance and countermeasures became meaningless after it was confirmed that the spirit of the Ouija board was Rui Rui.]
[My God, I was still wondering why Atan spared Enze's life... because Rui Rui and Xiao Ai had to be together!]
【This is so intricately linked】
Another chess piece has fallen...
【Ahhh, why, why, Ah Tan, how could you be so cruel!!!】
