Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 1276 Jiang-ge, Save Me!
Li Bai looked at the fatty, seemingly trying to find a trace of a loophole from his micro-expressions. But unfortunately, the other party's acting skills remained online. Li Bai now understood why this person was being targeted. Luo Tianhe was indeed a master. He probably saw through Wang Fugui's strength hidden beneath his disguise long ago. In this respect alone, he was stronger than her and Yao Shunyu.
The so-called lucky star shining down on him was just a saying in her opinion. This Wang Fugui was definitely unfathomable.
Even without this mirror today, he probably would have been fine.
But in order to verify her guess, Li Bai, under the guise of examining the fatty's body, had him extend his hand. She pierced the fatty's left middle finger with a silver needle, but no blood flowed out.
Sure enough, the yang fire on his left shoulder was extinguished.
Then, Li Bai had the fatty open his mouth and stick out his tongue. She lightly pricked the tip of his tongue with a needle, and bright red blood gushed out instantly, causing the fatty to shiver in pain.
"He has tongue-tip blood, so the yang fire on his right shoulder is fine."
Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng finally felt relieved. He also had a question in his heart that had not been answered. He knew that Luo Tianhe and Lin Qianqian wanted to deal with him and the fatty, but what he couldn't understand was why they were putting so much effort into the fatty. He was clearly more difficult to deal with than the fatty.
Although it was a bit inappropriate, Jiang Cheng felt that he was being underestimated, and that he wasn't as important as the fatty.
Or perhaps... there were other secrets about this fatty that he didn't yet know, or couldn't know.
In a daze, a sentence that Wu had said suddenly popped into Jiang Cheng's mind. He said that he smelled his own scent on the fatty.
After seeing the fatty return, Lin Qianqian disappeared. No one noticed exactly when she left, but after she left, it was much easier for everyone to communicate.
Before leaving, Luo Tianhe had instructed everyone not to meet with others after returning, otherwise it would easily lead to conflicting destinies, but Li Bai was very sure that this was not the case.
After listening to the fatty's simple description of the scene, Yao Shunyu, who was next in line, set off.
Originally, everyone thought it would be a safe and uneventful journey. After all, according to the fatty's recollection, there was nothing strange on the No. 5 spot, and Yao Shunyu was not an ordinary person, plus he had the mirror to protect him.
But the result was beyond everyone's expectations. When Yao Shunyu appeared in front of everyone again, he looked very embarrassed. His face was as pale as paper, and his lips were still trembling.
"Are you okay?"
Jiang Cheng and the fatty helped him to a seat. As soon as his hand touched the latter's skin, he could feel a clear chill. Li Bai frowned, "You've been tricked?"
Yao Shunyu gritted his teeth and nodded. "My second yang fire has been extinguished."
The one with the biggest reaction was the fatty. After all, he had just returned from there and knew the situation best. "How could that be? What did you encounter? Did those... those door-knocking ghosts come back?"
Yao Shunyu shook his head.
"That old thing Luo Tianhe also tampered with your position."
"No, it has nothing to do with Luo Tianhe, it's... it's Old Man Wu!" Yao Shunyu raised his head unwillingly, staring at the porcelain bottle he had brought back. "Grievance Infant Bottle (yuan ying ping). There's a talisman pasted under the Grievance Infant Bottle (yuan ying ping). Anyone who takes out the Grievance Infant Bottle (yuan ying ping) will definitely be tricked!"
Li Bai quickly reacted, but she didn't dare to touch it with her hands. Seeing this, the fatty very considerately picked up his own Grievance Infant Bottle (yuan ying ping).
Sure enough, a yellow talisman was found directly below the bottle, but unlike what Yao Shunyu described, his talisman was broken, as if it had been torn by something with claws.
"It was done by those wandering souls." Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
Staring at the broken yellow talisman, Li Bai's face darkened. "Everyone who goes there tonight will lose a yang fire. There's no avoiding it, except for Wang Fugui's extremely special situation."
"Even Luo Tianhe, I don't think he can avoid it," Li Bai added.
"It seems that things are similar to what we imagined. Digging up the Grievance Infants (yuan ying) tonight won't kill anyone, it will only cause us to lose yang fire. The real crisis is the funeral procession in the second half of the night."
"The road is full of unpredictable dangers. Once something unexpected happens, the ghost will definitely attack those with insufficient yang fire first. In other words, tonight, whoever has the least yang fire in our team will be killed by the ghost."
The fatty pursed his lips tightly, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger. Among the few people who had returned, the one with the least yang fire was Yao Shunyu. No wonder his face was so bad at the moment. He must have thought of this long ago.
Next up was Li Bai at number 6. Taking the mirror from Yao Shunyu, Li Bai set off.
About half an hour later, Li Bai walked back quickly, carrying a Grievance Infant (yuan ying) porcelain bottle in her hand. Judging from the state of her return, she was at least much better than Yao Shunyu.
"How is it?"
Facing the fatty's question, Li Bai nodded cautiously. "It's okay. Thanks to your reminder, I used the mirror to shine into the pit before moving the Grievance Infant (yuan ying) porcelain bottle, and broke the talisman."
"I also wanted to take a gamble. I didn't expect it to actually succeed."
There was no feeling of rejoicing in Li Bai's words. She must have been trying to take care of Yao Shunyu's feelings. This had nothing to do with ability. If Yao Shunyu hadn't stepped on this landmine, then the rest of them would have.
The situation was very clear now. Li Bai had returned, and now the only people left were Jiang Cheng and Lin Qianqian.
There was no problem with the yang fire on Jiang Cheng's body. Even if there was no mirror to suppress him and he was injured by the talisman, he would only lose a yang fire. And Lin Qianqian was the same.
No matter how you calculated it, it was going to be Yao Shunyu's bad luck tonight.
Yao Shunyu, who was always nonchalant, no longer had the indifferent attitude he had before. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but shake his head. "It's fate. Don't worry too much about me. Do what you have to do. Since we've entered such a place, we have to be prepared to lose our lives. It's not that I'm not capable enough, it's just that I lack a bit of luck."
"I really envy you, Wang Fugui. If I had half of your good luck, I believe I could survive, but this is a mission world, a nightmare. There are no ifs."
At this time, Yao Shunyu's words were no longer teasing, but facts.
Although many people were unwilling to admit it, luck was also part of strength.
A hand was placed on Yao Shunyu's shoulder. The latter's body trembled, and a chill seeped out of his shoulder. Having lost two yang fire, Yao Shunyu's body was not as good as before.
Jiang Cheng squatted down and patted his arm lightly, not caring at all. "Don't be so pessimistic. I'm still here. I'm ahead of Lin Qianqian."
"Without this mirror, Lin Qianqian would at least have one yang fire extinguished. As long as I find a way to make her lose another one, the two of you will be even tonight. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of heaven, and everything depends on your ability. But if I can make her lose two, I can guarantee your safety tonight."
"Lin Qianqian is in cahoots with Luo Tianhe. If you want to use the threshold to suppress her position, I don't think it will be easy to deceive her." Yao Shunyu also thought of this.
"I have my own way. It's not guaranteed to work, but I will try my best. You just need to answer me, do you want to live or not?"
Jiang Cheng stood up, looking down at Yao Shunyu. Although Yao Shunyu had many tricks up his sleeve, he didn't abandon them last time, and carried Old Man Wu's body all the way here. Jiang Cheng still appreciated this.
"Brother Jiang... Brother Jiang, save me!"
