Lin Sanjiu walked in the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Every few steps, [Consciousness Scanning] would re-adjust and expand with her steps, sweeping far and near inside and outside the mountain forest——
However, no matter what method she used and how many times she checked, she could not find any traces that might be related to Orcius.
After walking for about ten minutes, she finally felt relieved and turned around and walked back to the original direction; under the same tree, Qing Jiuliu's back was motionless, sitting upright, as if he was a monk who was planning to die on the spot.
.
Lin Sanjiu fell down next to him with a "Gudong" sound. Before he could speak, Qing Jiuliu spoke up first: "Is there anything suspicious nearby?"
"No," there was no need to speak in an angry tone at this time. Lin Sanjiu replied a little unmotivated, "Isn't he following us?"
Not long ago, she only hoped to run as fast as possible so that she could throw away Oasis; but now, she repeatedly hopes to detect his figure in the [Consciousness Scanning]——
She didn't even dare to think carefully whether he had caught up with the gift bag at this moment.
"Although it is definitely possible, I think it is unlikely. At least it is not as likely as him waiting to find out something was wrong before leaving." Qingjiuru paused and said bluntly: "After all, I think
Orcius is quite strong, but not that smart."
Even though he knew that he couldn't see his expression in the dark, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but look at him.
"Ahem, let me tell you the truth. He has an average mind, and this is not an insult to him." Qingjiuru said nonchalantly, "Besides, if I praise him now, how can he let me go?"
of?"
"...Then what do you think is going on?" Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and encouraged, "You can start from the beginning."
In the darkness, Qingjiu Liu breathed out and laughed softly.
Lin Sanjiu scratched his face without embarrassment.
"The moment Yu Yuan released Ah Quan and brought you into the copy of the memoirs, in the eyes of everyone, including Orcius, you suddenly disappeared from the ground of Falling Stone City." Sure enough, he said.
Congshan Ruliu said, "At that moment, the focus of Oasis's attention must have been on you and A Quan's copy. It was also at that time that Ji Shanqing and I exchanged faces."
Lin Sanjiu took a breath. "What if he notices..."
"When facing an opponent like Oasis, the only way to increase your chances of winning is to take risks." Qingjiuru smiled and said: "After all, there is no confrontation in our safe zone.
His method."
Lin Sanjiu nodded and remembered the appearance of "Gift Bao" when he repaired his body not long ago.
When she thought it was a gift package, she just returned it, but now she suddenly found out that it was actually Qing Jiuru, and her mind was almost buzzing: Even if he is an actor, even if he has good acting skills, he--also--
She couldn't think of anything herself; she didn't even know how to end the second half of the sentence.
How about just being vague about it?
"So I was the one who put my hands on your waist to 'repair' your body." Qingjiuliu obviously had no sympathy with her at all, and continued: "I want to perform Ji Shanqing's reaction, of course not
It was difficult, but at that time I didn’t even need to act.”
"Why?" Lin Sanjiu asked subconsciously.
"He held you in his arms in my appearance, so you were right in my line of sight." Qingjiu stayed in the darkness, turned his head towards her, and said: "...I just need to make a mirror to
Just reflect his emotions and that’ll be fine.”
Lin Sanjiu was silent for a few seconds, then wiped her eyes and nodded.
"When he finished repairing your body, the effects of the items were about to expire. When you grabbed me - don't tell me, you didn't even understand what was going on, and you did it right by mistake -
After I rushed out with you, I changed from 'Ji Shanqing' to Qing Jiuliu."
When he said this, he laughed lowly and said: "The act of 'repairing the body' has preconceivedly established the impression that the person who put his hands on your waist at that time was naturally Ji Shanqing. Even if this
'Ji Shanqing' changed his appearance after a minute, and Oasis would subconsciously think that it was Ji Shanqing's disguise in order to escape."
"So that's it," Lin Sanjiu sighed, "Then the gift bag actually followed Yu Yuan..."
"With Ji Shanqing's mind, after running out, it is definitely not difficult to do something to further reduce Oasis's suspicion... So there is a high possibility that Oasis will go all the way.
follow us."
Qing Jiuliu said, patting Lin Sanjiu's shoulder, and his tone seemed to be comforting a child with poor grades: "This requires that every communication I have with you must be completed as Ji Shanqing. I will
I was still thinking at first, your acting skills are very good, I am impressed. Who knows..."
Lin Sanjiu glared at him under the dim shade of the trees, and changed her subject abruptly: "So, you just said that you were leaving soon and your body was going to dissipate, etc., because..."
"I want to hold off Ousias." Qingjiuliu said matter-of-factly, "In order to buy time for Ji Shanqing to really leave, of course we have to have a farewell to make him think that Ji Shanqing is about to float from the sky above the woods.
After leaving, he would wait outside for a while. However, the premise of all this is that 'he is following us'. If he went straight to Ji Shanqing from the beginning, then...then what we do
Everything is meaningless."
"I'm just afraid of this eventuality," Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but be anxious and whispered: "If the gift bag has been caught by him now..."
Qingjiuliu paused and suddenly changed the topic. "Have you seen Yuan Xiangxi in the Ah Quan copy?"
Lin Sanjiu was startled. She had just wondered, "Why is he asking this?", but suddenly realized what he really wanted to say.
The moment Yuan Xiangxi returned to Yu Yuan with the copy of Ah Quan, apart from being able to show it in the form of a memoir inside the copy, they could not put it into any other way of expression - considering the fact that
The ability is not even enough to think about it for a while.
She felt she was slightly relieved. The people on the other side of the gift bag didn't just rely on luck to escape... So, isn't it surprising that the great witch arrived just at this time?
As if to stop her, Qingjiu Liu had already held down Lin Sanjiu's shoulders and continued almost without a pause, as if this was what he originally planned to say: "In order to prevent Yaichi Liu from telling us at the critical moment.
Let's start, I asked Yuan Xiangxi to hold him down."
...Yuan Xiangxi?
That ghost with no fighting ability at all? Dragging down Ichiliu?
"Think about it, he is the most suitable candidate." Qingjiu Liu analyzed, "He is not slow in his reaction, but he does not act according to ordinary people's logic and motivations. He has neither the desires nor the ordinary people's desires.
Weaknesses. In addition, he is a ghost who is immune to most attacks and cannot die. I think he just annoys Yiyayanagi to death, and I'm afraid Yiyayanagi can't do anything about him."
...That said, it seems to make sense.
"We should go back," Lin Sanjiu pondered for a while and whispered: "Yuan Xiangxi, Yu Yuan... are still behind. If the great witch comes, we can't find her even if we hide here.
Until we..."
Most importantly, she needs to know whether Ji Shanqing left successfully.
Even if it means that she has to walk out of this comforting quiet darkness and walk to a place where Occasion may be waiting for her.
However, what Lin Sanjiu didn't expect was that after they left the forest, the first person they saw was not Oasis - it was Lu Ze's personality.
