Zhao Yijiu's heart skipped a beat, but there was no trace of his inner ups and downs on his face.
It had been less than a minute since he came in. Where could Zhou Xue go? She didn't look like someone who had the courage to abandon her helpers and run away. Besides, if a shameless servant caught her, she should be able to scream.
Compared to the fact that Zhou Xue left without permission or was bumped into by a servant, Zhao Yijiu was more inclined to believe that Zhou Xue was attracted away by someone who covered her mouth.
Maybe it’s an actor, or maybe it’s Yu Xing and Zhao Ruru?
If it’s the former, I’m afraid things will be bad.
Zhao Yijiu made a quick decision and immediately planned to close the window. As soon as the window was closed halfway, he was stopped by a force of reverse thrust.
He retracted his hand and held the stopper as if he was electrocuted. He looked up and saw a large object being thrown in from the window, which kept dilating in his pupils.
He subconsciously stepped aside to avoid it.
“Ah!” The object fell to the ground without any suspense, and he shouted in a low voice, then he arched up, touched his sore butt, and raised his face.
It is Zhou Xue.
She got up, and as soon as she saw Zhao Yijiu, she held up the hem of her red dress and hid behind him.
“Brother the groom, someone is coming!” Zhou Xue hid behind Zhao Yijiu aggrievedly, feeling frightened in her heart.
She just said that there was something wrong with that Fang Xing, and it all appeared in the dream!
Just now, she was squatting under the window, and suddenly she heard footsteps. When she turned around, the handsome face that she should only see when working appeared in front of her.
The gloomy expression is comparable to that of the ghost groom, but she had guessed before, Fang Mansion, Fang Xing, could that lunatic be Fang Xing with the weird personality?
Originally it was just an unreasonable association, but now, this person directly fell into a dream and came to see her with his true face without a mask!
It’s so scary 嘤嘤嘤……
Zhou Xue simply ignored the modern clothes Yu Xing was wearing and thought that the madman had taken off his mask to kill her. She was ready to shout for help on the spot to attract the kindhearted groom in the room to save her.
“Hush—” Yu Xing, with quick eyes and quick hands, covered Zhou Xue’s mouth and looked at her with a warning look. Unexpectedly, she struggled even harder. Zhao Ruru stuck his head out from behind Yu Xing and pointed at the window with his chin.
Seeing that Zhou Xue was very uncooperative, the two decided to throw her in and pull her down.
In this way, Zhao Yijiao was almost hit by the person required to protect him in the mission.
"If I don't cover your mouth, you can wake up those shameless servants. I don't want to see that scene." There was a low whisper from outside, and Zhao Yijius's tense body relaxed slightly. He listened.
Come on, this is Zhao Ruru’s voice.
The next moment, Zhao Ruru put his hands on the window frame, and it turned over as if with some force.
She is much more agile than Zhou Xue. Obviously, modern clothing has brought her great convenience. On the other hand, Zhou Xue is wearing a red dress and even walking is very troublesome.
"Don't come over here..." Zhou Xue saw her neighbor Liu Ruru and recalled that she was chased by an unknown thing on the stairs the night before, and everything became connected.
It turns out that Liu Ruru is also a group of lunatics. Oh my god, she even ate the rice cooked by Liu Ruru, talked to her about the ghosts she had seen recently, and even went to worship her grandma with her!
“Zhou Xue, let’s talk about it, can we not treat us as if we were seeing ghosts—fuck you!”
Zhao Ruru originally knew that Zhao Yijiu was in the room. She and Yu Xing saw the two red figures of Zhao Yijiu and Zhou Xue from a distance, and decided to come and join them.
When she looked up and saw Zhao Yijiu's face, her words suddenly turned into an exclamation in the middle of her sentence.
After calling out, Zhao Ruru reacted and covered his mouth tightly.
Zhou Xue didn’t succeed in calling, but she called first, but what happened——
She looked at Zhao Yijiu's face in confusion, and her voice was trembling: "What's wrong with you? How could you be so seriously injured!?"
“Dong.”
There was a soft sound behind him, and Yu Xing also rolled in and closed the window.
Zhao Yijiu didn't answer Zhao Ruru's question. He looked at Yu Xing unconsciously, and his eyes collided with Yu Xing's. He could clearly see the confusion in the other person's eyes. He thought of his miserable state now.
Looking a little embarrassed, he looked away, and said coldly to the trembling Zhou Xue: "No need to hide, we are on our own."
Zhou Xue couldn't accept it for a while. She was startled and repeated dryly: "I am one of my own?"
I almost scared her to the point of paralysis just now, why can’t I just walk over from the front!? What kind of attack from behind?
As if he knew what she was thinking, Yu Xing's voice impatiently followed the footsteps from far away: "You saw me from the front, and before we could explain to you, you would have run away long ago, and it would be troublesome to find you."
And it’s easy to be discovered by shameless people, so who makes you distrust us?”
Yu Xing walked a little closer every time he said a word, and after finishing speaking, he stopped in front of Zhao Yijiu.
He looked at Zhou Xue who was trying to calm down and said mockingly: "If you trusted me, you wouldn't send text messages to test me during the day, right?"
"Who knows if you are bad people? I can't be more careful!" Zhou Xue retorted. Maybe because they were of similar high status in the company, she tolerated being disliked by the ghost groom and being disliked by Fang Xing, even though he seemed to
There was something, but she was still not convinced.
"As you wish, get out of the way." Yu Xing just glanced at her and used this performance to consolidate the character setting. After that, he focused all his attention on Zhao Yijiu, holding Zhou Xue in Zhao Yijiu's hand.
Jiu wiped his hands off his shoulders.
Tsk, are you kidding me? Zhao Yijiu still has a wound on his shoulder. He doesn’t make a sound when he’s scratched and hurts, just pretends it’s nothing.
This wound looks quite painful.
"Zhou Xue, come with me, and I'll tell you our identities." Seeing the situation, Zhao Ruru pulled Zhou Xue, who was still a little frightened, and walked to another corner of the room, planning to talk nonsense to Zhao Yijiu and
Fortunately, Yu left space for casual communication.
Zhou Xue trusts the Ghost Bridegroom very much. Since the Ghost Bridegroom says that they are one of her own, she can accept this fact for the time being.
So Zhou Xue left with Zhao Ruru while thinking, "Could it be that these two people were placed by the ghost bridegroom to protect me?"
Here, Yu Xing looked at Zhao Yijiao with a slight frown, but Zhao Yjiu did not take the initiative to speak, and the two of them fell into silence.
After a while, Zhao Yijiu realized that he couldn't hold on any longer. He opened his mouth and finally said: "Actually, I'm fine."
"It doesn't look like he's fine." Yu Xing took a step closer and finally spoke. He stared at Zhao Yijiao, "Are your eyes important?"
Facing such a gaze, Zhao Yijius swallowed everything he planned to say, and could only tell the truth honestly: "It hurts, but it's not as exaggerated as you see. I'm not sensitive to pain."
“Heh.” Yu Xing chuckled.
Zhao Yijiu didn't quite understand why he was laughing, and cast a confused look with his left eye.
Yu Xing raised his hand and rubbed his temples, his mood seemed a little depressed: "To be honest, I had expected your appearance before coming in, so I'm not surprised at all."
“Is the actor in this space?”
“Hmm.” Zhao Yijiu was not surprised that Yu Xing knew that the actor was here. Maybe he and Zhao Ruru had gotten some clues from the outside world.
"When I realized that the actor was playing a role like a mastermind behind the scenes in this deduction, and Liang Erni was using dreams to avoid him, I confirmed that if he was active, he must be in a dream." Yu Xingmi.
When explaining to Zhao Yijiu who Liang Erni is and who is using dreams to hide from whom, he seems to be talking to himself.
"He is in the dream, and you are also in the dream, so it is very likely that you will meet head-on... When you face an actor head-on, it is normal to suffer various injuries. Worse situations may also occur. To be honest,
I'm mentally prepared."
He murmured, then raised his eyelids and looked at the over-stoic young man in front of him: "I'm sorry, a large part of the reason why you got hurt is because of me."
Zhao Yijiu felt a hint of disapproval in his heart.
“This has nothing to do with you.”
The gloomy voice was the same as before, but this time it was obviously a little weaker due to the injury.
Yu Xing smiled bitterly in his heart, this really had a lot to do with him.
If he hadn't been here, the actor probably wouldn't have stepped in to be a special guest, and wouldn't have put so much pressure on Zhao Yijiu and the other people assigned to the dream.
It is precisely because he and his teammates are present in the Death Parallel this time that the actor comes to play with them with malicious intent.
He had realized before that he was a protective person and could not bear to see the people on his side get hurt.
Zhao Yijiu is very simple and persistent. Even though he is burdened with some kind of secret, he is still judged to be on the right path by the system.
Zhao Yijiu has always been a "child" that he likes very much.
He got Liang Erni's reply. After opening the branch line, he was told that he had to be near Zhou Xue before he could smash the white jade and fall asleep. Liang Erni didn't want to be discovered by the person who was paying attention because of too many flaws for the time being, so she refused to send them directly back to Zhou Xue's house.
He and Zhao Ruru had to drive home again. On the way, he thought about this matter.
What if the actor teases Brother Jiu...
What if in order to make him angry or lose control, the actor thinks of ways to torture the person in his hands...
Also, what if the actor uses his best ability and tries to use words to sway Zhao Yijiu, causing Zhao Yjiu to fall into the fall line...
What will happen to him?
Yu Xing imagined the scene and came to a conclusion.
He doesn't seem to show too exaggerated emotions. After all, he has lived for so long and has seen all the things that are difficult to accept, let alone Zhao Yijiu, whom he has only known for a short time.
But in the end, it’s a bit of a pity and unwillingness.
Then this emotional fluctuation will create capital for the actor to cause him to lose control.
Yu Xing is well aware of the actor’s methods.
So as soon as he approached Zhou Xue, without wasting much time, he immediately broke the white jade and looked at the word "Ling" on the white jade falling apart. Apart from anything else, he felt quite comfortable.
And before smashing the white jade...
"I won't rush to take the pot, Brother Jiu." Yu Xing's dark gaze shifted a little, "Only you know best whether your body can hold it, so if you feel that it's not going to work anymore, follow me immediately.
Say, I will put you in the safest place."
“I——” Zhao Yijiao originally wanted to say that I don’t need it, but he paused mid-sentence and changed his words, “I understand.”
Yu Xing nodded, and this topic could only be stopped here, because the environment did not allow them to waste time on empty condolences without a solution.
As for the issue of actors, it is not suitable to be explained in a live broadcast deduction. When they leave the deduction, he will probably reveal a little truth to Zhao Yjiu and Zhao Mou.
Yu Xing brought the topic back on track: "You have fought with the actor. Who is he playing? Can he use physical means to cause damage?"
“Okay.” Zhao Yijiu said.
A sneer appeared on Yu Xing’s lips.
Why did the actor treat Zhao Yijiu? He will definitely take revenge on the spot in this deduction.
Isn't it a good time to stab an actor who is one-ninth the strength and can be killed by physical means?
He continued to ask, but this time the question was a bit wider: "How long does Zhou Xue's dream last? Do you have any hints?"
Zhao Yijiu nodded.
"The last time she fell into a dream in reality was last night, which lasted for an hour. There was a gap of five hours. This time it was longer, an hour and a half - wait." There was a little hesitation in his voice, "Time changes.
Already."
After the side mission started, he didn't pay attention to the passage of time. As a result, the Zhou Xue protection time limit given at the beginning was changed to a number without saying a word.
Yu Xing put his hands in his coat pockets: "How long did it take for it to change?"
“…Four hours.” Zhao Yijiu looked at him, “Is this caused by the opening of the branch line?”
"It's not because of the branch line." Yu Xing waved to the two girls who were looking at them, indicating that they could come over, and said to Zhao Yijiao, "I gave Zhou Xue sleeping pills, so that they could come over."
Let her sleep more."
Forcibly extending Zhou Xue's sleep time, the dreaming time also became longer.
Zhao Yijiu was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
The shorter Zhou Xue’s dream time, the safer it is for her, because her biggest crisis is the “master” in her dream.
Why did Yu Xing prolong the time for Zhou Xue to fall asleep? Wasn't this making it more difficult for himself?
"Since I know that the actor is in his dream, how can I be willing to come in and then leave, leaving Brother Jiu to face him alone?" Yu Xing showed a fleeting smile, "Although Zhou Xue is dangerous here, I have
Confidence protects her, she can dream for as long as she wants, but you, I have to keep you in my sight to prevent the actor from threatening you."
In a nutshell... In order to prevent you from being tormented by actors, I can sacrifice the difficulty of the task.
Zhao Yijiu's eyes widened slightly, feeling a little moved.
However, he always felt that once actors were involved, there was always a sense of guilt in Yu Xing's actions.
Because of guilt, Yu Xing will not let others face the actor, and any harm suffered by others will be borne by Yu Xing - this logic should be wrong.
Zhao Yijiu wanted to remind him not to take all the responsibilities, but he saw Zhou Xue walking over with a look on his face: "???"
What did she hear?
“You feed me sleeping pills?”
“How long can I dream?”
Zhou Xue was in disbelief.
Listen, is this really human language?
Mentioning this, Zhao Ruru also twitched her eyes. She said to Yu Xing: "I have confessed to Zhou Xue. She now knows that our true identities are actually a professional ghost catching team. We decided to interfere with this supernatural incident and fought with ghosts."
The groom has made friends. She won't be afraid of us anymore."
This was the result of her nonsense for just a few minutes. The words were so obvious that even Yu Xing almost rolled his eyes.
But Zhou Xue was immersed in the shock caused by Yu Xing's words "I gave her sleeping pills" and didn't notice it for a moment.
Zhao Ruru explained for Yu Xing again: "Zhou Xue, since we are a professional team, we will definitely have the ability to pick locks..."
“Then you can’t come into my bedroom!?” Zhou Xue covered herself in horror, “Especially you——”
She pointed at Yu Xing: "You, a grown man, came into my bedroom!"
Yu Xing glanced at her and maintained his bad character: "To be honest, even without me, your bedroom is quite lively every night."
