He held back what he originally wanted to say. After all, although Zhang Yu's meaning was easy to see, at least Zhang Yu did say what he didn't do well.
Forget it, let him go this time.
"Stretch your hand over here." Yu Xing gestured to Zhang Yu.
Knowing that he had escaped, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and obediently stretched out his hand on the table.
There was a bloody cut across his palm that was no longer bleeding. Judging from the situation, the cut was quite deep.
Because his physique was only slightly better than ordinary people, it was unusual for such a deep wound to be left exposed to the air without being wrapped with gauze and to recover so quickly.
"Cut it when you soaked the wooden sign in blood?" Yu Xing took the hand and stared at it for a while.
"Yes, the master cut it." Zhang Yu felt chills just thinking about it, "He cut it so deep! It hurts so much!"
"But it heals quickly, doesn't it?" Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and reached out to wipe the bloody mouth.
A stream of ghost energy flowed out from the wound, and the wound that had stopped bleeding suddenly burst open, and streams of blood spurted out again as if they were free. Zhang Yu took a breath: "Hiss——"
"Did the ghost deliberately put this in my wound? Did it want to mark me?!"
Yu Xing caught the blood flowing out of Zhang Yu with his hand. Strangely, the blood stopped flowing in his hand, but was lumped into a blood ball under the black mist.
He said: "Don't make a fuss. In many deductions, especially those related to sacrifices and rituals, it is often necessary to take blood in advance. After enough blood has been drained, the blood will stop immediately. The principle is similar to this."
So it's not against me? Zhang Yu was hurt and curious: "Why do you do this?"
Yu Xing glanced at him and raised the corner of his mouth: "Maybe he is afraid that the selected person will bleed to death before completing the sacrifice process."
Seeing that the blood ball was big enough, he also learned to use the power of curse to seal Zhang Yu's bloody mouth. After thinking about it, he still left a black line at the bloody mouth.
"It hurts so much. Captain, your skills are not very good. Others are painless. You... hiss..." Zhang Yu's mouth was shaken. The black lines were so cold that it made his whole wound feel like it was being hurt.
It's like being bitten by an evil spirit.
"Be patient, wait until you get used to it - this thing can be used as a weapon in the future." Yu Xing patted his head and let him go.
Zhang Yu immediately took his hand back and blew on his palm. After blowing twice, his eyes widened when he realized: "Weapon? You mean you left me an attack method that I can control?!"
Yu Xing nodded slightly: "That's right. If you encounter a ghost attack, you can use your hand to catch it, but I recommend you learn how to run away."
The black pattern is the purest and richest curse power. Of course, Zhang Yu cannot control this power, but as long as the curse power is here, ordinary ghosts will have to weigh it.
This black pattern is equivalent to an amulet. If an alien ghost encounters it, it will either be injured or swallowed by the power of the curse. The so-called best defense is offense. How can this "talisman" be considered?
Both offensive and defensive.
Because Yu Xing really couldn't stand Zhang Yu's weakness, the system always integrated extreme system sacrifices for Zhang Yu. If Zhang Yu wanted to have some ability to save his life, he would either buy props or rely on people of his level.
Leave something behind.
Ignoring Zhang Yu's sudden joy, Yu Xing looked at the blood mass in his hand, raised his hand and used the blood to draw a pattern on the back of his hand. The power of the curse surged with the pattern. When it was finalized, Yu Xing was obviously
I felt the presence of the blessing cards on the table.
The malice and coldness constantly exuding from the blessing card were as obvious as dry ice rising in front of him.
"Captain?" Zhang Yu realized what he was doing and lowered his voice, "Have you brought the curse against me onto yourself?"
"Uh-huh." Yu Xing's expression remained unchanged, as if this was not a big deal at all.
"You are my good captain, I will always love my captain, wuwu." Zhang Yu was moved to tears.
Lan Wu watched the whole process from the sidelines with mixed emotions.
This move reminded him of last night when Yu Xing shared most of the pain of needle threading for him.
He finally discovered that Captain Po Jing was very good at allowing himself to bear the pain of others, and he also showed a high level of tolerance that was used to pain. This was clearly a sign of self-abuse.
In addition to directing it to yourself, there are many choices. Merchants, townspeople, and even today's dolls, as long as they are humanoid, can withstand the transfer of the curse!
But he didn't say anything after all.
Yu Xing should have his own reasons for doing this, and no outsider should interfere.
The next time is to wait quietly.
Zhang Yu was hugged by his thighs, and the others were reminded to get ready, so the feeling of panic disappeared a lot.
Several more deducers came to the tea stall one after another. There were eleven people choosing the blessing card game. Now, at a glance, they were all there.
The people who came later also understood the general idea through Gu Xing's few words of reminder, and the same was true for Xue Shouyun. She was just about to sit down at Yu Xing's table when a gust of cold wind suddenly hit her. Then, behind her
When she subconsciously dodged, the man in red had already occupied the seat where she wanted to sit.
"Hi~ I'm sorry, I like this position." Hua Subai said hello to Xue Shouyun, who had a subtle expression, and then turned to Yu Xing and smiled, "I mean, I've already met Medusa and Yan Li.
, but I didn’t meet you. Then I thought about it, if you are not guarding the doll merchant, you must be guarding the sacred tree with your broken mirror~"
Yu Xing: "How old are you when you still grab other people's positions? It's like a primary school student."
Hua Subai suddenly felt a little disappointed: "Is this position prepared for Miss Xue?"
He glanced at Xue Shouyun, who was still at the table before he could leave. He became addicted to the drama. He covered his face with his long sleeves and cried loudly. He said in a high voice: "So that's it. I said, others should sit down, just sit down."
I can't sit still because I don't deserve it."
Yu Xing: "..."
Everyone: "..."
"Fortunately, if brother dislikes my sister, he should have told her earlier. Why bother to make me unhappy here? Humph~" He drew out a charming and soft ending, and pulled back his sleeves slightly, revealing one eye to look at Xue Shouyun, "
Even so, please sit down, Miss Xue. Brother Xing, the chair at the same table will only be handed over to you from now on. My sister will leave now and make way for Miss Xue——"
"Stop, stop, stop." Xue Shouyun saw a man calling himself "sister" for the first time, and Lin Daiyu imitated Lin Daiyu's tone so perfectly that his head grew bigger, "Sit down, no one will compete with you."
It's so pitiful that she didn't move because she wanted to watch the fun for a while, but she didn't have to sit there!
Xue Shouyun touched the goose bumps on his arms and sat down at the empty seat at the next table. Gu Xing was holding back a smile to welcome her to sit down.
Excited to leave, Hua Subai looked at Yu Xing sadly with that eye: "Brother Xing, can my sister still sit in the seat that Miss Xue doesn't want? Because you are tired of me today, you didn't take me with you when you visited other people's houses.
Let’s go together, can it be that my sister doesn’t even have a seat now..."
Zhang Yu and Lan Wu were also laughing to death.
As the saying goes, as long as you are not the protagonist of the fun, everyone else's fun will be good.
Yu Xing couldn't bear it anymore and raised his eyelids: "Hey, I wonder when Father Hua committed suicide? Now he is willing to pretend to be young and call me 'brother', a man much younger than you. Father Hua is really hard working for life.
To endure humiliation and bear such a heavy burden."
Hua Subai: "..."
He put down his sleeves, straightened up his posture, and sat up straight: "There is no uterus, the things are still there, and the functions are intact."
"Pfft--" Gu Xing next door couldn't hold it back, and even Modu showed a little smile and cleverly covered it with his hand.
Yu Xing sneered: "Since I dislike you and want to tell you directly, I will tell you directly. You can sit at the farthest table."
"Why?" Hua Subai felt aggrieved, but his face returned to calm, and he just stared at Yu Xing in confusion.
Some of what he just pretended to say are true. Yu Xing was very forceful when he went to Fang Mansion and did not take him with him. He was obviously very settled in this dungeon.
"Xingxing, have I made you unhappy again recently?" Hua Subai was a little distressed. He took out the doll from his sleeve and held it in his arms. "I have been reflecting on it in private for a long time, but I still haven't found the answer. Why don't you tell me directly?"
"Hey, in this indifferent world, even a doll is warmer than someone else."
Yu Xing tightened his fingers under the table.
Nothing happened recently, but who let him know about Hua Subai and the actor?
During the day, he recalled the past by chance, causing him to temporarily wonder what attitude he should adopt towards Hua Subai.
Make it clear?
Live broadcasting is not suitable.
Pleasant?
That's disgusting himself.
But being completely hostile didn't seem like it, thinking about it, and he really couldn't bear the look in Hua Subai's eyes.
I can't bear to let the only "friend" I ever had disappear.
Yu Xing could only suppress what he was thinking and change the subject calmly: "Why, you don't call me brother now?"
Huasu Bai's eyes dimmed, and he also noticed that he didn't answer directly. He squeezed the belly of the doll in his hand, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Isn't it usually impossible for you to call me brother? I
I’m calling you here first. If you think it’s inappropriate, how about we switch over?”
"Impossible." Yu Xing flatly refused.
Hua Subai lowered his body and whispered: "You have called the person you met for the first time many times today. Fang Xiao is not older than you. Why can't I do it?"
Yu Xing narrowed his eyes: "How did you know?"
"Well, Miss Medusa told me." Hua Subai immediately raised his hands in surrender, "I didn't follow you, nor did I listen to the corner, nor did I pretend to be like that with others..."
"Will she tell you now?" Yu Xing interrupted him in time, his eyes full of doubt.
When they were exchanging information, he only mentioned Mingzhu's situation. Even if Medusa was exchanging information with Hua Subai, she wouldn't pick such a thing, right?
Lan Wu and Zhang Yu: What is that? Finish talking?
Next table: Why are you talking so quietly? What are you talking about? What information?
Hua Subai coughed lightly: "It was really Miss Medusa who told me. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
"Oh, and I collected more than eighty dolls today, so I really don't have time to follow you."
"Seize the young one?!" Zhang Yu turned his head, "More than eighty?!"
Even if he didn't choose to look for dolls, he knew that the place where dolls are distributed is in the underworld, and he also needs to face the evil ghost townspeople near the dolls. It takes a certain amount of time to find one, more than eighty? How to do it!
Moreover, if his observation was correct, there was a fallen boss who chose to look for dolls, and then he was never seen in Baibao Street from the beginning to the end...
Maybe, he is still in the town and has not returned yet?
There are only a few dolls left in the whole town. If you are not lucky, you may fail directly.
Yu Xing sighed complicatedly.
He thought about it again and again, but finally did not mention asking Hua Subai to sit further away. Instead, he waved to Hua Subai: "Come here, I have something to tell you."
Hua Subai immediately stood up and walked around Lan Wu's seat, smiling and putting his ear close: "What?"
Yu Xing blinked, covered the direction of his lips where prying eyes might see them with his hands, and whispered something.
After saying that, Hua Subai straightened up and rolled up his sleeves thoughtfully.
"Okay, leave it to me."
Before anyone else could show their curiosity, such as why Yu Xing was disgusted with him one second and was talking alone the next, it was already eight o'clock.
"Kakaka..."
The sound of obscure roots penetrating the soil came from the sacred tree, attracting everyone's attention.
"You can hand in the task." The goddess held her prayer card in her hand, and as she moved, the bells on her body swayed and made an ethereal sound.
No one came forward yet.
"Didn't you say that there will be a young lady next to the sacred tree who will give us accommodation qualifications after we hang up the prayer sign?" Zhang Yu looked at it and said, "I haven't seen anyone there yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the branches twitching suddenly increased. Next to the main trunk of the sacred tree, a thick black liquid surged out of the ground, getting higher and higher, forming a human shape.
Strong malice and ominousness came from the human figure, and the evil aura in it stung the eyes of those who looked directly at it. Lan Wu closed his eyes subconsciously, but found a warmth flowing from the corners of his eyes. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was already flowing out.
A thin line of blood and tears.
Yu Xingtongren turned into a faint blue and looked directly at the thing. He saw blood-colored leaves falling one after another. The surrounding sea of pink flowers was also dyed with the same rich color in an instant. The black liquid swayed like a long tree without support.
Sticks of human-shaped jelly.
Suddenly, the top of the "jelly" was punctured by fallen leaves.
Colors bloomed from inside, and the black liquid fell, melting into the soil that supported the sacred tree, and finally revealed a woman.
The woman was wearing gray loose clothes, which looked a bit like Taekwondo uniforms in real life. She stepped on the soil with her bare feet, and the malice and evil around her gradually subsided and became calm.
It's just that the place on the neck that should belong to the face is occupied by a thick braid. The braid is black and shiny. It hangs on the shoulders from front to back, and hangs down to the ground, hidden in the roots of the sacred tree.
"It's her, the female ghost in the mirror!" Gu Xing was the first to shout in a low voice. Anyone who has interacted with her will never forget this image.
Hua Subai took out a clean napkin from somewhere and handed it to Lan Wu, asking him to wipe away the blood and tears. Fortunately, after the black liquid disappeared, looking at this woman would no longer irritate his eyes.
The braided girl stood quietly where she appeared, silent and motionless. Only her black hair could be barely recognized. Her face seemed to be facing the direction of the tea stall, and she was looking at it.
them.
"This is the girl you call 'easy to talk to'." Yu Xing raised the corners of his mouth, rested his elbows on the table calmly, and tilted his head, "Now you know why? The hair she gave you was originally meant to be a gift to you.
Your blood cards are tied to the sacred tree."
The female ghost grew out from under the sacred tree!
This was also the reason why he didn't discuss with Zhang Yu just now why something like the female ghost in the mirror appeared in Nanshui Town.
Because after listening to the process, Yu Xing guessed that the female ghost is not attached to Nanshui Town, nor is she attached to the body. As an incorporeal ghost, she has the greatest relationship with curses, and is obviously the companion creature of the sacred tree.
"I want you to return the things I gave you to her now. Are you going? Hang up the sign." Hua Subai looked at the excitement and poked Zhang Yu without hesitation.
"Should I go first?" Zhang Yu tensed up.
"What are you afraid of? Your curse has been transferred to your captain." Hua Subai exposed the fact that he had actually been observing the tea stall for a while, but no one had the mind to pay attention to him now.
"The curse is because the captain helped me, but this female ghost..." Zhang Yu swallowed, "She came out of the mirror."
Just because you are so easy to talk to in the mirror does not mean that you will be the same outside the mirror.
"After hanging up the sign, don't you have to find a 'little sister' to get accommodation qualifications?" Yu Xing chuckled, "Isn't this the little sister?"
