Chapter 116 Infernal Affairs(1/2)
"bite--"
A crisp reminder sounded by the ghost spring. Captain Xu and Wu Junshi, who were still struggling, received good news from their teammates.
[Owl: Congratulations on finding a 5/23 Haunted House Badge!]
Xu Wang squatted by the well, turned to look at Wu Sheng, and felt pitiful: "God didn't hear your prayers."
Wu Sheng sighed and nodded, and it was rare to admit that he lacked his divine power.
"There is no team just in time to hand in the papers now." Xu Wang said again, and he felt as if he was depressed.
Wu Sheng asked: "Have you thought about it, how to do it?"
Xu Wang took out the yellowed small paper bag from his pocket and looked at it in a daze. It is hard to imagine that just such an inconspicuous thing could throw it into the spring's eyes and destroy the ghost of the entire East Courtyard.
It is said to be a ghost, but Xiaoe and those in charge of the affairs are obviously alive, with joy, anger, sorrow, and loyalty to friends.
"Who asked you to come in!" A sharp shout suddenly came from behind.
The two of them suddenly turned around and were in charge of the heavenly realm.
The manager saw the small paper bag in Xu Wang's hand, and black air suddenly appeared all over his body. His voice fell down and his eyes shot out: "What do you want to do to Guiquan?"
The two of them immediately stood up and turned to face the manager.
Xu Wang subconsciously held the paper bag to the palm of his hand, clenched it tightly, his lips moved again and again, but he still didn't answer the words in charge. Perhaps the previous entanglement had consumed all his energy, and the lies that usually came out of work together now.
With six eyes facing each other, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, but suddenly a very short "Ding!" sounded again on both of them.
Xu Wang and Wu Sheng were both surprised at the same time.
Not only am I surprised how there will be a prompt at this time, but I am even more surprised that they have never heard of such a "ding" before!
Since entering the owl, they have heard three kinds of "ding" in total. The first is the most common prompt sound "Ding--", the second is the prompt sound "Ding---", and the third is the prompt sound "Ding---" that breaks the speed of the handover.
But this "ding" that could be ignored if you are not careful is the first time!
The situation is urgent, and the two of them don’t care whether they reveal their identities or not, and raise their arms together—
:1 minute, countdown begins.
The two looked at each other quickly, their faces confused.
They have seen the countdown prompt, but they have to tell them what countdown is used for!
For example, the Red Eye flight will remove bombs in 4 hours, the Doomsday City will be 15 minutes away from the tree-traveling battle, or the 5-man team will be exempted from quitting the team or kicking people within 5 minutes every time they enter the owl, etc.
Such an unknown countdown, do you know why you should race against time?!
Wu Sheng's eyes moved to Xu Wang's hand holding the paper bag tightly, his voice was low and his speech was fast: "Ghost Spring."
Xu Wang's eyes widened in disbelief.
Leave them the time to medicine at Guiquan, only one minute left?!
I had been struggling for ten minutes just now, but they didn’t make a decision!!!
"What do you want to do sneakily?" The manager took a step forward and narrowed his eyes dangerously, "If you don't leave Guiquan, I'm going to be rude to you."
There are 50 seconds left in the countdown.
The sweat in Xu Wang's palms wet the paper bag.
"Wu Sheng." Xu Wang suddenly called in a low voice.
"I'm here," said Wu Sheng.
"Even if I throw the paper bag in, even if it will ruin the world, tomorrow, the East Courtyard will be the East Courtyard, right?" Xu Wang asked softly.
"Well, otherwise how could other teams pass the level?" Wu Sheng looked at the manager at the other end of Quanyan and answered quietly.
"Then why can't I do it..." Xu Wang felt hot in his eyes and his throat was bitter.
Wu Sheng smiled helplessly: "I can't answer your question, because I am the same."
There are 35 seconds left in the countdown.
Xu Wang: "Why are you talking about the fact that the person in charge is not here?"
Wu Sheng: "He is waiting for the countdown too."
Xu Wang: "What will happen if the countdown ends?"
Wu Sheng: "He may come and send us on the way."
There are 20 seconds left in the countdown.
Xu Wang: "Will Lao Qian and Xiaokuan blame us?"
Wu Sheng: "Xiaokuan probably won't."
Xu Wang: "Where is Lao Qian?"
Wu Sheng: "That depends on how much he suffered to get the badge."
There are 10 seconds left in the countdown.
Xu Wang: "Why do I think you are merciful and sloppy at that time?"
Wu Sheng: "I have no objection, it depends on whether they believe it or not."
Xu Wang: “…”
Wu Sheng: "What you said is, I am rational and inhuman."
Xu Wang: "...that was what you said!!!"
The countdown ends.
The manager's feet did not move, but just turned his head slightly, and said respectfully in the air above the right, "Boss, you won."
Xu Wang and Wu Sheng were stunned and looked up together.
A black figure appeared faintly above the Ghost Spring.
The black robe, red eyes, and the face with bitter yellow cheeks sunken on both cheeks, with a cold expression full of majesty. I can't feel any pity for being pale and thin, and there is a sense of danger and oppression in my thinness.
Little hungry, he has become a big crocodile.
The impact of this incident was too strong, and Xu Wang couldn't accept it. Even though the facts were in front of him, he still asked in a daze: "Xiao Hungry?"
The starving ghost fell down and did not go to find someone in charge of his own affairs, but fell in front of Wu Sheng and Xu Wang.
One step away, facing each other.
The starving ghost smiled slightly: "You lied to me, and I lied to you too, it's even."
Anger came from his heart, and Xu Wang pushed him away: "Get out! We only concealed the mission, you used us as fools from beginning to end!"
The starving ghost staggered back, the smile on his face faded, but his eyes were still not hostile.
"I have only deceived you my identity." He lowered his eyes, his emotions hiding in the shadows.
"Ha, this one? Then 'Tell many people bypass, no one is willing to take you into the underworld'? What the ghost said? Oh, I forgot, you are the ghost! What are the infernal Affairs of both of us? You are the supreme undercover!" Xu Wang had never felt so true to NPC. He was so entangled just now, and he was so angry.
The starving ghost raised his eyes gently. Compared to Xu Wang's excitement, his expression could be said to be cold. Only by listening carefully can he hear the deep sincerity hidden in his voice: "I didn't lie to you."
"Didn't you lie to me? You are the boss of the East Court. Do you still use others to take you into the underworld? Will you just walk along the heavens?!"
"I can walk sideways and take me in with others."
"So those who ignore you are lucky not to be fooled by you?"
"No, because I won't let them enter the world."
“…”
Xu Wang was angry, his brain was already short-circuited, and he met a sharp ghost, which was so stuffy.
Wu Sheng held his shoulder, patted him comfortably twice, and asked the starving ghost for him: "Is the way to die true?"
The starving ghost frowned slightly, and didn't understand: "Hmm?"
Wu Sheng was much calmer than Xu Wang. Although he felt awkward, he was still logical and organized. Compared to being deceived by starving ghosts, he cared more about "giving Xu Wang a clear understanding."
"What you said is that you starved to death during your lifetime, but you have been hungry after you die and can't eat enough. Is that true?"
The starving ghost did not hesitate: "Yes."
Wu Sheng raised his eyebrows: "The boss of the West Courtyard said that the boss of the East Courtyard is a heart-digging ghost."
The starving ghost is still calm: "I have been hungry and always want to make people's hearts."
Wu Sheng: "When I was in charge of the underworld, I knew we were not ghosts anymore, so why didn't we dig our hearts?"
The starving ghost looked at him quietly: "Digging evil people, not friends."
Wu Sheng was silent for a long time, his eyes flashed slightly: "Our purpose is to poison the East Courtyard. If this small bag goes down, the entire East Courtyard ghosts will be wiped out. Do you think we treat you as friends?"
The starving ghost looked at Xu Wang's hand still holding the paper bag tightly: "But you still didn't do it."
"After asking?" The manager of Guiquan was unhappy. "You have been exposed in the underworld. If it weren't for the boss, let alone Guiquan, you can't even enter the world!"
Wu Sheng was about to respond, but Xu Wang took the lead and asked the starving ghost: "Why do you still have to help us even though we knew we were going to poison the entire East Court?"
To be continued...
