Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]
Chapter 192: 19
Little Honeysuckle's eyes widened, like a surprised deer.
"But there will be eighteen hungry ghosts tonight, what do you want..."
"If I'm not mistaken," Lian Qiao raised his hand casually and pointed at the crowbar slanted in his backpack, "What the hungry ghost really fears is the crowbar, right?"
Little Honeysuckle was startled: "How do you know?"
"It's very simple." Lian Qiao smiled, "When the hungry ghost first appeared, he turned a blind eye to the two of us, even if he rushed to us, he would turn around and walk away. When the stick, you reached out to stop her. At that time I thought you just didn't like her touching our things casually, and mistakenly thought it was Iwami's amulet protecting you. But you admitted it yourself, that amulet is useless."
He paused, then said: "Just now, when I tried to give the crowbar to Little Apple again, you came out to stop it, and even gave her the amulet. It can be seen that the hungry ghost Real fear is not a talisman, but..."
When he said this, he seemed to think that his expression was not accurate, so he paused and said another way: "No, it should be said, 'You think' what the hungry ghost is really afraid of is the prying eyes. The crowbar is right. Although I don't know where you came to this conclusion, it is reasonable to think about it carefully, after all, this crowbar was taken to the temple by me and opened."
Even when Qiao said this, Honeysuckle's eyes widened.
After a while, Ren Dong laughed and said, "You are really powerful, you can even deduce this."
Lian Qiao smiled.
But Honeysuckle still shook her head: "But even if the crowbar is a treasure for ghosts, I still think it's too risky. After all, there are eighteen hungry ghosts, you still have to carry me as a burden, The burden is too great. Besides, hungry ghosts are only afraid of crowbars. If you really fight ghosts, they will still fight back. It is too risky.”
Lian Qiao smiled and said, "Which one is not an adventure when we play a dungeon?"
Honeysuckle lowered her eyes: "So, to be on the safe side, we can only sacrifice the Dean and the others... After all, they are just..."
"After all, it's just an NPC?" Lian Qiao gradually put away his smile, his expression became a little dignified, "Those people are NPCs, but they all have flesh and blood, they cry, laugh and hurt. It's some children...a dozen children, all of whom you know, do you really have the heart to let them be scapegoats?"
Honeysuckle was silent.
Lian Qiao said: "I just have no choice but to do it now, but now we have no other way. We just have to take a little risk, we have come through so many storms, not bad. Once. But if you do push these children to death, I'm afraid you'll be condemned for the rest of your life."
"It doesn't matter." Ren Dong smiled, "For you, I can give up the bottom line of being a human being."
Lian Qiao sighed and raised his hand to stroke his soft hair. The eyes are helpless and spoiled, with a faint worry: "Didn't you say you don't want me to become a bad person? Similarly, I don't want you to become a bad person. Don't say such things again, 'giving up the bottom line for me' or something. The...you're just PUA me (note)."
Honeysuckle was taken aback: "PUA?"
"Yeah." Lian Qiao nodded and sighed, "You are forcing me to feel guilty by doing this. You have done something bad, but I can't bear to blame you. But you and I both know this It's not right. You are also in pain, aren't you? The day you broke the sandbag and gave me medicine, did you cry? Actually, you don't want to be like this, right? So why are you forcing yourself and me? What? Why must someone be the bad guy among us?"
Little Honeysuckle raised her face and looked at him blankly. That stunned expression, like some long-standing belief, collapsed in an instant.
"So..." Honeysuckle's lips moved, her voice trembled slightly, and she choked, "So you thought so..."
"Well, that's what I thought." Seeing that he was about to cry again, Lian Qiao felt a little soft-hearted, but after all, he didn't take him into his arms to comfort him, but stared down at him. From the perspective of an adult looking at a child, say to him, "I don't want you to give up your persistence for me. I don't want you to become less like yourself because you love me."
In the end, his tone was still gentle, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, raising a warm smile.
"Don't spoil me too much. After all, if you spoil me so much, you will spoil me."
Honeysuckle looked at him, her eyes getting wet.
"Hey, don't cry." Lian Qiao saw that the person he had managed to coax was provoked to cry again by himself, and suddenly panicked, his face flushed slightly and said, "I am Not saying too much... I'm sorry... I'm not saying you did something wrong..."
Honeysuckle laughed. He rolled his eyes, and two tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
He wiped away his tears, smiled and said, "Okay, I won't cry." Then he reached out to Lian Qiao and said softly, "Hold me."
The little honeysuckle at this time is like a little panda who is pulling the trousers of the breeder and won't let go. Lian Qiao is instantly cute, and hugs the little honeysuckle, screaming inwardly, hugging the little honeysuckle Honeysuckle inhaled wildly. I just felt like I was repeatedly jumping on the edge of sentencing.
Calm down! He is still a child!
In order to avoid being unable to control herself, Lian Qiao decided to call in Little Apple and illuminate his conscience with a light bulb.
Little Apple is stunned—he wanted to kick me with his forefoot in order to drive me out, why did he call me back now!
Humph! Did I just come and go like this!
Little Apple sitting in the room: Well, I am!
So Lian Qiao told Little Apple about the plan discussed with Honeysuckle just now. Little Apple was surprised when she heard it.
What! Why are you going to be a ghost? ! It's good to catch the child as a scapegoat!
Little Apple questioned Lian Qiao's fighting ability - no wonder. In this dungeon, when Hungry Ghost appeared twice, even Joe didn't have a chance to do it. Of course, Little Apple didn't believe that he could kill eighteen hungry ghosts by himself.
And he's carrying two—oh no, one and a half!
Little Apple, who was seriously injured, was very self-conscious, knowing that Lian Qiao, a dead gay, only had Xu Rendong in his heart, so he could not be distracted to take care of her. At best, she can only be regarded as half a burden, probably to the extent of... "To avoid fighting another ghost tomorrow, I will try not to let you die today"...
Little Apple didn't know what Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao discussed during the moment when he was shunned. Anyway, it seems that the two of them have made up their minds, and it will be difficult to return to heaven. Xiao Apple actually felt that it was a bit cruel to send Xu Rendong's playmates from childhood to death, but even Joe, who is currently the only fighting force, has decided to fight the backwater...
Damn, I still feel so dangerous!
Forget it, she has no choice.
What else can she do, she can only hug the thigh of Lian Qiao, who claims to be the boss of N Guan.
Tonight.
The three sat in the yard, waiting for the hungry ghost to appear.
In fact, Little Apple's original plan was to pry open the doors of all the rooms before the hungry ghosts appear, exposing the dean and the children to the hungry ghosts. In this way, the hungry ghost will disperse the target and turn to chase and kill the NPC. They can take advantage of the chaos to save their lives.
Later, Lian Qiao expressed that he did not want to be a villain and wanted to save the NPC. Little Apple then suggested: Maybe if you lock the door, the hungry ghost won't come, why don't you hide in the guest room for a night?
This idea was also rejected by even Joe.
Previously, the dean and the children could hide in the room safely because there were a large number of players outside, and the hungry ghosts had eaten enough people, so they did not go to them. In fact, hungry ghosts can pass through walls - hungry ghosts are completely immune to physical attacks, and of course it is not a problem to pass through a wall. Therefore, if they wanted to hide in the room tonight, it would be tantamount to catching turtles in the urn and forcibly killing them.
Lian Qiao: "It's better to stick out your head openly than a tortoise. Anyway, extending your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife."
Little Apple: "...Isn't that still a turtle?"
Lian Qiao: "…"
All in all, the three finally chose a relatively open yard as the final battleground.
As before, the dean quietly locked the Xiaoyang Building. When the three heard the click, their moods sank a little.
Little Apple looked up at the moon, and her heart was extremely bleak.
"Alas, this may be my last moon viewing." She clenched the watermelon knife in her hand sadly.
Although she is seriously injured, she has no fighting power, but she still wants to take a weapon to defend herself.
"Recite it to me again." Honeysuckle suddenly spoke.
Little Apple came back to her senses: "Oh, ok."
In the afternoon, Xu Rendong taught her a section of "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" and told her that this is the secret to life-saving. Xiao Apple didn't want to use his brain anymore. Anyway, what the two bosses said was what they said, so they honestly recited Buddhist scriptures for an afternoon.
Ji flexed his teeth, not knowing what it meant at all. Little Apple bites the bullet and recites it. Unexpectedly, she was randomly checked by Teacher Xu Rendong at this time. She couldn't help coughing and felt a little embarrassed.
She recited a few words. Ren Dong listened carefully, nodding his head every time he heard a sentence. It looks like a three-year-old child, but it looks like a little teacher. Little Apple couldn't help laughing at his appearance.
With this smile, I forgot what the next sentence was. She got stuck, scratched her head, and couldn't remember for a long time.
Lin Dong was about to speak to remind, suddenly her expression changed, and she said solemnly: "Come!"
I saw his fleshy little hand raised and pointed to the corner of the yard.
Little Apple froze all over, only to feel the chills on her back stand up. She tried her best to look at the place that Honeysuckle pointed, but no matter how wide her eyes were, there was nothing but a bare honeysuckle vine, which was very lonely.
The difficulty of the hungry ghost is that it will only appear when it sees blood. At this time, they don't use NPCs to sacrifice to the sky, the hungry ghost will always remain invisible, only the honeysuckle can see.
"It's approaching. At three o'clock, it is five meters." Honeysuckle pointed to Lian Qiao's position of the hungry ghost, "At twelve o'clock, it is about five meters."
Lian Qiao sniffed and pouted, "It smells of saliva. It really stinks."
Little Apple silently followed behind Lian Qiao, watching him hold Little Honeysuckle in one hand and the crowbar in the other, walking forward without fear.
I have to say, Lian Qiao, who holds the baby with one hand, is a bit handsome.
In this bleak night wind, there was a strange excitement in Little Apple's heart. She bit her lip, feeling that this emotion came at an untimely time. Just as he was about to shake his head and wave away, he suddenly realized that Xiao Rendong, who was lying on Lian Qiao's shoulder, was looking at him with burning eyes.
Little Apple was startled: "Is there a ghost behind me?"
Honeysuckle stared at her gauze covered with gauze, thoughtfully: "No. But I suddenly have an idea."
Little Apple: "What?"
Honeysuckle turned her head and told Lian Qiao: "Put me down."
Lian Qiao didn't think much, bent down and put Little Honeysuckle gently on the ground. His eyes were fixed on the front, and the crowbar in his hand was raised high, ready to swing down at any time.
Little Apple was inexplicably nervous when she saw Honeysuckle abandoning Lian Qiao and walking towards her.
Just listen to the honeysuckle saying: "Put out your hand."
Little Apple just do it.
Honeysuckle: "Give me the watermelon knife."
Little Apple: "…Huh?!"
A flash of silver. Honeysuckle grabbed Little Apple's arm, and cut another cut in her scarred arm.
"What the **** are you doing!" Little Apple exclaimed in pain and wanted to withdraw her hand.
Honeysuckle grabbed her tightly and said sternly, "Don't move!" Then she took out a handful of cotton from somewhere and put it into her wound.
Apple: "???"
The cotton was saturated with blood and instantly dyed bright red. Honeysuckle picked up a blood red cotton ball, turned and threw it somewhere.
Soon, a hungry ghost with a belly as big as a drum and limbs as slender as a spider gradually appeared in front of the three of them.
Lian Qiao was overjoyed: "Honeysuckle! Why are you so smart!"
Little Apple: "..." Damn! So I am a mobile blood bank!
