Chapter 207 Missing Person Notice (XVI)
But thinking of Lu Zhi mentioned by L before...
If Yan Shen is the Black Rose, it also means that the other party knows Lu Zhi.
Qiao Yuan decided to wait for a suitable opportunity to test him.
Because there was less than half an hour left until the time agreed with Yan Shen, Qiao Yuan and others quickly decided not to go back to rest, but to go directly to the room mentioned by Yan Shen before to wait.
Before twelve o'clock, Brother Lou and others had already arrived one after another. However, they looked sullen and it seemed that they were not looking forward to this event.
Yan Shen arrived on time at twelve o'clock in the evening.
As soon as he entered the room, he took out a few candles, a mirror and a dagger. After turning off the lights and lighting the candles, Qiao Yuan and others could clearly see him using the dagger to cut his index finger, dripping blood onto the mirror while calling out Shi Zimiao's name.
After doing all this, he threw the mirror and dagger directly into Andre's arms, and asked the others to take turns to imitate what he had just done.
The other players then began to take action.
Qiao Yuan was the last one to take the mirror from Sheng Guiye.
Strangely enough, the previous players had already dripped blood on the mirror. But when Qiao Yuan took the mirror now, she found that there was no blood on the mirror, and her appearance was clearly reflected on the mirror.
Qiao Yuan looked at himself in the mirror for a few seconds, and then, imitating the others, lightly cut his fingertips, then dripped blood onto the mirror and softly called out "Shi Zimiao's" name.
The next second after the blood fell on the mirror, the mirror began to ripple like waves.
And the original appearance of Qiao Yuan in the mirror also changed——
Her figure shrank, and her facial features shrank along with the ripples, as if being sucked into a whirlpool, until they were finally reassembled into another appearance.
Because of the swelling on his face, his facial features were not clear, and his medium-length hair blurred his gender. He blinked his left eye, and then looked into Qiao Yuan's eyes as if he was looking in a mirror.
However, the other person's missing right eye quickly allowed Qiao Yuan to understand the identity of the person in front of him.
The stone is wonderful.
As soon as this thought flashed through Qiao Yuan's mind, Shi Zimiao in front of him suddenly took action the next second.
The other players' attention was always on Qiao Yuan. For them, it was only a blink of an eye before a figure suddenly appeared in the mirror. Before anyone could react, they saw that figure had already pounced directly at Qiao Yuan.
However, Qiao Yuan's reaction was equally quick. The moment he noticed Shi Zimiao popping out, he subconsciously dodged to the side.
Shi Zimiao's attack missed, but he was extremely persistent. He quickly changed direction and pounced again.
Fei and Sheng Guiye wanted to step forward, but the distance between Shi Zimiao and Qiao Yuan was too close. If they stepped forward, not only would they not be able to help Qiao Yuan, but they would probably indirectly hinder Qiao Yuan, so they hesitated and thought about how to step forward.
Qiao Yuan was also thinking about how to get rid of Shi Zimiao in front of her. Although she still had a dagger and a lighter on her, Shi Zimiao was clinging too tightly to her, leaving her no time to take out the dagger and lighter to fight back.
Just then, Qiao Yuan felt something rushing up from behind.
Looking at Shi Zimiao who was also attacking her, Qiao Yuan bent down subconsciously. Shi Zimiao passed over her head and collided directly with the figure behind her.
Qiao Yuan heard a scream.
Even though the voice was a little distorted, she still recognized it was Brother Lou.
Brother Lou kept his eyes on Yan Shen. After seeing the ghost appear and pounce directly on Qiao Yuan, the other party still showed no sign of emotion. He quickly realized that this was most likely part of the other party's plan.
No wonder the other party threw it directly to Andre at that time. After all, according to the distance, Qiao Yuan should be closer. It seems that the other party already knew that the last person would be attacked.
In the real world, he often seized opportunities to please his superiors or managers. Except for the female boss who looked quite similar to Chen Siyu, everyone else admired him very much, which helped him to rise to prominence in a period of time. Therefore, he could be said to be very adept at this kind of thing.
Thinking of the killing intention of Yan Shen towards Qiao Yuan that he had noticed before, Brother Lou quickly realized the existence of an opportunity. As long as he managed to help Yan Shen kill Qiao Yuan, he might be able to gain the other party's favor.
Now was obviously the best opportunity. The ghost had been pestering Qiao Yuan, but had not yet succeeded. As long as he hindered the ghost a little, Qiao Yuan would be caught by the ghost. Moreover, this was not considered as his own action, so he could escape the punishment of the rules.
Brother Lou has a strong execution ability in this regard. He implemented it quickly after the idea came to his mind.
He did not have as many concerns as Fei and Sheng Guiye, and since he was close to Qiao Yuan, he chose to pounce on him directly from behind.
What Brother Lou didn't expect was that even when facing the ghost, Qiao Yuan was able to distract himself and pay attention to what was behind him.
He was caught off guard and collided with the stone, but was not bounced away.
Because the other person's cold body was sticking tightly to him like a plaster, the next second, Shi Zimiao opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and bit Lou Ge's shoulder hard.
Before Brother Lou could react, he felt the pain of his skin and flesh being torn off, and a scream came out of his throat. He looked down and saw that his shoulders were already bare. Shi Zimiao, who was lying on his shoulders, was still chewing the meat in his mouth, and there was blood mixed in his mouth.
Pain mixed with fear made Brother Lou sweat instantly, and veins on his forehead throbbed. Looking at Qiao Yuan standing not far away, he subconsciously wanted to call for help, but he no longer had the chance to speak.
Shi Zimiao bit him directly on the neck.
Brother Lou’s eyes went dark and he finally lost consciousness completely, and his body fell limply to the ground.
For Brother Lou, the agony before death was just a few seconds in the eyes of other players, and the opponent fell to the ground.
After gulping down a few mouthfuls of the still warm blood from the neck, Shi Zimiao finally let go of Brother Lou's body on the ground.
The whole room was filled with a strong smell of blood, and Brother Lou's death also caused the room to fall into a brief silence, with everyone having different expressions.
"Shi Zimiao." Yan Shen's voice rang out, and Shi Zimiao subconsciously turned her head to look over. There was still blood at the corners , but her expression had become much calmer.
After hearing Yan Shen's words, she revealed a puzzled expression: "Brother, do you know me?"
Although his voice was just soaked in blood, Shi Zimiao's voice was still dry, as if he had not spoken for a long time.
Chen Siyu and the others looked at Shi Zimiao and the corpse behind her and felt that the other party was both polite and impolite.
Yan Shen did not answer her question, but asked directly: "Where is Xu Lin?"
When Shi Zimiao heard Xu Lin's name, her mood darkened. She arched her back like an enraged wild cat and pounced directly in the direction of Yan Shen.
Qiao Yuan naturally noticed what Brother Lou had figured out before, and realized that this method of summoning spirits seemed to have side effects -
The soul that is summoned must kill the person who bleeds last.
And it is obvious that Yan Shen wants to use this
Therefore, when seeing Shi Zimiao rushing towards Yan Shen, Qiao Yuan was cheering her on in his heart, hoping that she could use the power of anger to kill the other party directly.
However, before Shi Zimiao could get close to him, he was grabbed by the collar by an invisible force and slammed into the wall next to him.
Andre and Aning were both stunned, and their first reaction was that they must have seen it wrong.
Qiao Yuan saw clearly that the other party threw a dagger, which pierced Shi Zimiao's clothes like a dart and nailed her to the wall.
Yan Shen repeated his question again: "Where is Xu Lin?"
Shi Zimiao looked like a child, and her mind seemed the same. After realizing Yan Shen's threat to her, she no longer grimaced and tried to struggle like before, but just had red eyes: "I don't know where she is either."
"She ran away not long after she stopped moving."
"Can you run after you stop moving?" Chen Siyu repeated it , and finally couldn't help but speak out.
She didn’t know if it was because she had been working for too long and her comprehension ability had declined, or because she had few opportunities to interact with children , so she couldn’t understand children’s logic. For a moment, she couldn’t understand Shi Zimiao’s words.
Andrei and Aning suspected that the system's translation was not good enough, which affected their understanding.
Qiao Yuan quickly understood what Shi Zimiao said: "You mean that after you killed Xu Lin, she also turned into a ghost and ran away?"
Shi Zimiao's words were similar to what she had guessed before.
She had guessed at that time that there was more than just one child ghost in the hotel, and Shi Zimiao's words undoubtedly confirmed this.
Shi Zimiao nodded.
With Qiao Yuan's Chinese-to-Chinese translation, Chen Siyu and others finally showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
Qiao Yuan: "Did her body run away with them?"
Fei et al. also realized this important issue.
After all, their mission was to find Xu Lin and return her to her family. Now that Xu Lin is dead, they have to at least send the body back.
Shi Zimiao: “No.”
"I looked for her for a long time, and finally she came back, and I bit her just like I did just now..."
Qiao translated: "Her body didn't follow you, and you ate part of it, so where is the rest?"
Andre & Aning: "..."
I hope every system translator can learn from Qiao Yuan.
After hearing what Qiao Yuan said, Shi Zimiao did not tell the truth as he did before. He just looked at Qiao Yuan and others warily and said bluntly: "I don't want to tell you."
Chen Siyu: “Ah?”
Just now, Shi Zimiao answered Qiao Yuan's questions fluently and obediently, making her almost forget that the child in front of her was a ghost.
Andre realized something and quickly pointed at the incomplete body of Brother Lou and said, "If you are hungry, you can eat that man."
"He has more meat."
Judging from what Shi Zimiao did to Brother Lou just now, her staple food is humans.
Brother Lou was already dead, and he couldn't jump up to hit him, so Andre felt relieved to maximize the opponent's value.
But his words failed to move Shi Zimiao: "No."
