Just now there was a green light here, and Gao Ling silently complained in his heart that it was like the underworld. Now that people around him are falling down like this, the scene around him is basically the underworld.
She lay on the ground, looking at the shadowy sky above her head, thinking that this was the end, it would probably be cold... In the first twenty-five years of her life, she had never imagined that she would be so cold.
She thought that she might die in her sleep when she was old or eighty, or that she might get seriously ill and suffer for a year or two before dying, or even that she might be hit by a car in her prime...but she never thought that she would be killed by a group of monsters at a comic convention.
At Comic-Con.
Killed by a group of monsters.
Gao Ling closed her eyes due to a headache, but then opened them again. She found that she could not resist the thought, "This is simply a joke, and a nightmare-like joke at that."
It is said that when people see something unbelievable, they will pinch themselves to see if they are dreaming... Gao Ling had only seen this statement in jokes before, but now, she really wanted to see if this was a dream.
She started to wonder inexplicably in her mind...Can she get out alive today?
...Gao Ling silently glanced at the place where the green light was brightest.
She still has a 10% chance of getting out alive... For those who came with her, the probability is basically 0.001...
I should... tell you to screw me...
Gao Ling stared at that place for a long time, and finally sighed.
Well... even if he didn't bring the talisman, it was probably unintentional. It wouldn't cost him his life anyway.
Is there a Taoist priest who can come and save them? Gao Lingsi thought without any hope, but she remembered that it was written in the comics that City C was a notoriously chaotic city, and few Taoist priests would come here. Now, among the Taoist priests in the city, the only one who was missing was "Fanning".
Who can come to rescue them?
"Boss? Boss?" Liu An called Yuan Yuanyuan several times, but she didn't respond. He simply shook the boss on his body, and suddenly saw the boss open his bloodshot eyes, "What?"
"No, nothing." Liu An said embarrassedly.
"Close your eyes and hold your breath." The boss' voice came out again, "Don't let others see that you are a monster."
"Oh." Liu An closed his eyes obediently again.
He thought to himself that the boss was fine... He had just thought that something had happened to the boss, and that was why he was suddenly not angry at all.
Liu An looked at the green lights in front of him again. He silently chanted a spell in his heart and gently made a hand gesture.
In an instant, he saw a scene very far away.
Oh...so that's how it is.
At the very front, on the stage where the show was previously being performed... there were a few people tied up.
Several people were kneeling side by side, looking like death row prisoners being escorted to the execution ground.
Those people were all wearing down jackets, so they didn’t look like cosplayers, so I guess they were the ones who came here with the little girls just now.
Liu An is not as good as his boss, and he doesn't know whether the spiritual energy of a person who is so far away is sufficient.
He was thinking about the fragrance he had just smelled... and guessed that the person in front of him was the one who came during the Chinese New Year, the one in white clothes in the comics, whom he always thought was his gay friend.
Or it could be someone he sent.
During the Chinese New Year, the boss was so familiar with the man who delivered the box... Liu An thought, that man should be able to give face to the boss and let these people go, right?
But when he looked at his boss who had his eyes tightly shut, he suddenly became uncertain...
After saying this, Liu An suddenly remembered the group of people who blocked the boss's door during the Chinese New Year... He remembered that the group of people had bad intentions, and after they left, the boss was in a very bad condition.
That incident happened shortly after the man in white gave the gift.
Giving gifts... is something that is very particular among humans. It doesn't necessarily mean that the person giving the gift is a friend. I wonder if this is also the case among monsters.
"Boss, boss?" Thinking of this, Liu An poked the boss carefully again, "Aren't you familiar with the man in front? Is there anything going on between you and him?"
…
Yuan Yuanyuan was far away and vaguely felt that Liu An seemed to be calling her again. She wondered what was going on... Why did he always come to poke her? It was really annoying for her to run back and forth.
That shell over there can hold on for a while, but it can't move on its own, so it can only pretend to be dead.
Yuan Yuanyuan continued to move cautiously toward the platform under the cover of the illusion, her heart pounding.
Just now...she really didn't want to care about these people who were seeking death.
But now, she has changed her mind.
Since it is related to the old man that day... Hehe. Yuan Yuanyuan sneered twice. Such a good thing must be hers.
If you don't come, it will be a great loss.
So Yuan Yuanyuan planned to go over now, find some way to tie them up, and rescue those people at the same time.
Yuan Yuanyuan knew that she probably had no chance of defeating the old man from the Li family. Just as she was thinking that she might get hurt, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The big monster leading the group in the front... was obviously not the old man from the Li family, but someone else.
But this person must be related to the old man from the Li family.
Why is Yuan Yuanyuan so sure?
Because Yuan Yuanyuan felt displeased with him as soon as she saw him.
What Yuan Yuanyuan disliked must be related to that old man.
...Yuan Yuanyuan became irresponsibly angry again, especially after she realized that even if the people on the opposite side attacked her together, they would not be able to kill her, and could only leave her half-crippled at best.
Then she stood aside with her shoulders folded, looking coldly at the people kneeling on the stage.
"Hey, brother, what's going on ahead?" Gao Ling asked Liu An in a low voice.
"Don't worry, your friends are not dead yet." Liu An said in a low voice, "...but they look like they are about to piss themselves."
"...Pee, did you pee?" Gao Ling said weakly.
Liu An saw clearly the big monster in front of him. The monster was wearing a nightgown like those in movies and TV dramas, and his face was covered, so his face could not be seen clearly, but it could be seen that he was a man, and a thin man.
The few little monsters next to them all seemed to be of the same size, and were all dressed in night clothes. They all held one or two flowers in their hands, and the flowers were all very large. There was a rose as big as a sunflower. But the strange thing was that these flowers were about to wither.
This flower... Liu An thought, it's so pink... it's the same color as the box that was delivered that day.
"What do those monsters in front want to do?" Gao Ling continued to ask, "Do they want to eat them or kill them as a blood sacrifice?"
"Generally speaking, monsters capture people with strong spiritual energy... just to eat them." Liu An whispered, "People with strong spiritual energy are even more attractive to monsters than monster beads, but this kind of thing has rarely happened in recent years... Who is willing to take the risk and do such a thing?"
…
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at those people coldly. She was not only looking at the monsters, but also at the kneeling humans.
One of them was the one Yuan Yuanyuan noticed just now, a very thin little boy, and he forgot to bring the talisman.
Yuan Yuanyuan heard a girl crying softly, and the monster behind her kicked her hard, and the girl cried even louder.
"No blood can be seen before nine o'clock." The big monster suddenly spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, the little monster behind him slowly retracted the knife in his hand.
Yuan Yuanyuan was looking at the monsters with her eyes, as if she was looking at lambs to be slaughtered. The people kneeling were crying quietly, and one girl cried and asked, "Are we finished?"
"Don't cry." A boy said, "If we make them angry, we might be in even worse trouble."
"I, I know, but, but I can't control it." The girl said sobbing.
The monsters behind me were still talking.
"What did the master tell us before he came?" asked the big monster.
"The head of the family has told us not to let the news out." A little monster said, "Take back the humans with sufficient spiritual energy, and kill any monsters that stray into the house."
"Where's the monster from before?" The big monster sneered, "Why haven't you found it yet? What do you do for a living?"
Yuan Yuanyuan smiled coldly and said, "It's here."
"If there is no other choice... we can only use that one." A little monster gritted his teeth and said, "This time we met a monster who is good at tricks. Although there are only a few times left, but at this critical moment, we still have to use it."
"Then use it." The big monster said suddenly.
After hearing this, the little monsters around looked at each other for a few seconds, and suddenly took out a small jar from their pockets. Yuan Yuanyuan saw everything.
Yuan Yuanyuan deeply felt that something was wrong...but before she could react, the jar was suddenly opened and a thin silver thread was pulled out.
When the jar was opened, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly felt like she couldn't sit still anymore.
All of a sudden, her internal organs felt like they were on fire... Almost instantly, Yuan Yuanyuan felt a fishy-sweet taste rising from her chest.
A particularly uncomfortable feeling filled her entire being.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
In an instant, the whole place was filled with the faint scent of flowers.
Yuan Yuanyuan, who was about to fall, found a wall to lean against. However, a few hundred meters away on the ground, the body of the "boss" almost instantly began to ooze blood from the corner of its mouth.
"What the hell, boss?" Liu An's eyes suddenly widened.
Gao Ling watched the blood slowly flowing from the corner of the boss' mouth, and tears suddenly flowed down her cheeks.
This time, she thought, it's really over.
Just now she was trying hard to distract herself, trying to force herself to relax, and she kept saying to herself in her mind: "Look at the scenery around me... Is there any material more amazing than this?", "I guess I won't have to worry about not being able to paint for three or four years after I go back... maybe I'll become a big shot all of a sudden."
She kept talking like this, because she always had a little wish in her heart that the boss next to her would take her out.
Gao Ling inexplicably felt that the boss next to him was extremely reliable, just like a cat teacher who could suddenly grow bigger and protect Natsume in times of crisis.
Gao Ling had this thought since they first met, but now seeing that the boss who was so powerful in her eyes had become like this, she felt her heart break all of a sudden.
"You, don't cry..." She heard the boy next to her whisper to her: "Wait a minute...if it really doesn't work..."
"I will get you out at the risk of my life."
Gao Ling glanced over there, her eyes were blurred with tears and she couldn't see anything clearly. However, she inexplicably felt that the boy next to her must have said this with a very serious face.
"I will definitely protect you." The boy gritted his teeth, but suddenly added, as if to embolden himself, "Protecting the weak... is our ancestral teaching."
What kind of crappy ancestral training is this… Gao Ling couldn’t hold back her sobs and sniffed a little, thinking to herself, you are not a Taoist priest… What kind of crappy ancestral training is this?
Before she could force herself not to cry, a small black shadow paused above her head and then flew away at high speed.
This time is over... It's completely cold, Gao Ling thought.
The muscle control when people cry is indeed a science... She didn't want to cry like this.
Gao Ling thought that he was going to die anyway, so he might as well go out first to cover the boss and the boy next to him. Suddenly, a cold light flew over from somewhere in the field.
The cold light passed through the crowd, turned around, and suddenly turned into a dazzling red light. With a sharp sound that tore through the air, it brushed past the big monster's head and pierced into the wall behind him.
Liu An, who was watching from a distance, suddenly took a deep breath.
Gao Ling, who had climbed halfway up, looked over there with tears in her eyes. She happened to be looking in the same direction as all the people and monsters on the stage.
A dagger glowing with blood was inserted fiercely into the wall beside the big monster's head. It trembled slightly and made a pleasant sound. The demonic power with blood on it had not completely disappeared.
The whole place suddenly became quiet.
The big monster suddenly fell silent.
The people on the stage were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their heads...but if you look closely, you can see that their shock was a little excessive, far more excessive than the shock of being rescued.
"This knife..." Gao Ling, who was sitting in the audience, narrowed her eyes from afar. She wiped her tears and took another serious look.
The pattern on the knife was very eye-catching, a pattern that she was actually very familiar with.
Because she herself has drawn it countless times.
