Chapter 247 Lucky Star (VIII)
Xiong Yingshan was stunned, but he reacted quickly and quickly caught up with Qiao Yuan: "What are you going to do?"
"Don't act rashly, or you'll easily attract ghosts."
Xiong Yingshan's words were very clever, and instantly made the boss and others dissatisfied with Qiao Yuan.
The boss also took a few quick steps and asked Qiao Yuan in a serious tone what he was going to do, and the others echoed him.
Ming Jingjing, who was standing among them, said nervously: "Don't kill us..."
Obviously, they now deeply believe in Xiong Yingshan's words.
Sister Jiang and the assistant had heard Qiao Yuan's plan before, and subconsciously wanted to speak up to explain it for her, but Qiao Yuan had already said before they could speak: "Find a place to hide."
"I thought about it carefully and felt that ghosts would not think that a girl like me would hide in the men's bathroom."
Qiao Yuan's expression was serious, which made people subconsciously want to think along her lines.
Not to mention the boss and others, even Xiong Yingshan couldn't help but be stunned. From his frozen expression, it seemed that he was thinking about the truth or falsehood of Qiao Yuan's words.
Here, Qiao Yuan had already rushed directly into the men's bathroom.
There were no people in the men's bathroom at this time, but because someone cleaned it regularly, it was kept very clean. Considering this, Qiao Yuan went directly to a hidden place and finally found a small piece of paper, almost the size of a fingertip, in a corner that almost no one would notice.
After opening it, Qiao Yuan found that the paper was not small, and there were crooked patterns on it. The crooked lines were obviously drawn by a person. But even so, he could still feel the chill seeping out from the magic circle.
Joe was willing to make sure it had nothing to do with the cold weather.
Qiao Yuan felt that the pattern was very familiar. After thinking about it in her mind, she finally remembered that it was written on a book that Qiao Ying had held before.
Although Qiao Yuan's body couldn't move at that time, his eyes could move. In addition to thinking about how to make Qiao Ying relax her vigilance, one of the few entertainment activities he had was to sneak a peek at the book Qiao Ying was reading.
There were several patterns that impressed her, and this was one of them.
Even though the book was not clear, she still remembered what was written on it. This magic circle did have the function of transferring, but the caster also had to bear the consequences of backlash and death. The name of the magic circle was very long, and at that time Qiao Yuan was thinking that it should be called the magic circle of mutual destruction.
She was now more and more certain that Zhou Ning had not known the purpose of the magic circle before. After all, Zhou Ning's goal must have been to survive, and there was no reason for him to die with them.
It is no wonder that Xiong Yingshan let Zhou Ning do it alone. He must have been afraid of accidents.
But she didn't see how to break the formation. She didn't know if she could just tear it apart or if she needed to burn it...
After all, it involves a magic circle, so Qiao Yuan also became cautious.
When Qiao Yuan was looking at the magic circle and lost in thought, footsteps were heard behind him.
Xiong Yingshan and others also walked in.
It seemed that the other party finally reacted, but his arrival was quite coincidental, as Qiao Yuan also happened to want to ask the other party something.
When seeing the paper in Qiao Yuan's hand, Qiao Yuan noticed that Xiong Yingshan's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he pretended to be puzzled and said: "This... this is..."
Qiao Yuan: "I found this nearby."
As she spoke, she wanted to show the magic circle to everyone.
Xiong Yingshan also realized Qiao Yuan's intention. His face changed and he subconsciously wanted to reach out and snatch it, but the other party easily dodged it.
Qiao Yuan has already demonstrated this magic circle to everyone here.
When their eyes fell on this magic circle, everyone present felt a chill spreading from the bottom of their hearts.
“So… so weird…” the assistant muttered, expressing everyone’s feelings.
Qiao Yuan: "I remember Mr. Xiong Yingshan said before that Zhou Ning might have held some kind of ceremony. After all, the paper and handwriting of this magic circle are very new, as if they appeared only today."
"If we find a way to destroy it, such as tearing it up or burning it, maybe we can get out of this situation..."
"Don't destroy it!" Before she finished her words, Xiong Yingshan interrupted her. However, his tone was not impatient, and he just explained: "After all, we don't know the situation yet. What if destroying the magic circle leads to the opposite effect?"
But just as Xiong Yingshan finished speaking, he saw Qiao Yuan in front of him walking towards the washbasin.
When Xiong Yingshan noticed that Qiao Yuan wanted to turn on the faucet, his expression instantly became nervous. He even stopped caring about disguising himself and almost pounced on her.
Even without turning his head, Qiao Yuan could feel the sound of something cutting through the air behind him.
Just now, Qiao Yuan had been paying attention to Xiong Yingshan's expression. When he heard the words "tear up" or "burn", Xiong Yingshan's expression did not show any obvious change, so Qiao Yuan realized that this was not the right way.
When she caught a glimpse of the pool nearby, the idea of throwing it into the water came to Qiao Yuan's mind. However, she was just trying it out at that time. It was not until she heard the noise behind her that Qiao Yuan became more and more certain that what she did was right.
Although Xiong Yingshan moved quickly, Qiao Yuan moved even faster.
She turned on the faucet and threw the paper directly into the sink, doing it all in one go.
Everything happened so fast that when the boss and others came to their senses, the paper had already fallen into the water.
Ming Jingjing screamed: "Are you crazy?!"
The boss and others were also dumbfounded, and their eyes were filled with shock and anger when they looked at Qiao Yuan.
Xiong Yingshan's face was full of anger. He tore off his disguise, took out a dagger from his arms, and stabbed Qiao Yuan directly. After Qiao Yuan dodged, he turned around and tried to rush to the pool to pick up the paper, but Qiao Yuan also realized his intention and kicked him in the leg.
Although Xiong Yingshan was much taller than Qiao Yuan and often exercised, he was not as agile as her. In addition, his attention was focused on the paper, so he was kicked down and hit hard on the marble floor, with a bump on his forehead and the dagger in his hand slipped far away.
But Xiong Yingshan did not have time to feel dizzy. He quickly turned his head to look at the boss and others, and squeezed out a distorted voice from his throat: "Kill her!"
“You don’t need to be responsible…”
He might not be able to catch Qiao Yuan by himself, but with so many people...
After hearing Xiong Yingshan's words, the people present did not move. After all, it was the first time for them to encounter such a thing as murder.
Xiong Yingshan also realized this: "Catch her!"
Sister Jiang and the assistant also came back to their senses from the shock just now, and just happened to hear Xiong Yingshan's words, and caught the key point that the other party said to catch Qiao Yuan.
Sister Jiang could also sense that her boss now trusted Xiong Yingshan. Although they hadn't taken action yet, she quickly explained, "Wait, there must be a reason for her to do this..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the boss and others had stopped what they were doing.
Sister Jiang originally thought that her words had worked, until she turned around and looked in the direction the others were looking, and discovered that there was a ball of fire in the pool.
At first Sister Jiang thought it was her illusion and even blinked several times, but she soon realized that she was not mistaken and that the fire was real.
Ming Jingjing saw it more clearly.
At first, there was no movement when the paper fell into the water. However, after a few seconds, a corner of the paper seemed to be on fire and began to burn inexplicably.
As the paper burned in the water, a group of people heard noises coming from outside the building.
The assistant realized something and quickly ran to the window. When they looked out the window when they went upstairs, the sound seemed to be blocked and the window could not be opened.
But this time the assistant opened the window directly, and then said excitedly: "It seems we can leave now!"
Of course, everyone knew that the assistant's words did not mean that they should go through the window, but meant that they could leave.
Seeing all this, Qiao Yuan felt temporarily relieved in his heart, knowing that his method was correct.
However, Xiongying Mountain was still being watched by ghosts. In order to avoid being implicated, Qiao Yuan spoke up first and said, "Let's leave quickly."
