Chapter 221 Conflict
Chapter 221 Conflict

"Yellow millet."

"Hide the moon in the mountains and fish for the coffin in the water."

"At the 4th time point, everyone will go to Shangyuan Village, Zhongyuan Village, and Xiayuan Village in Pingcheng and stay there for five days. You are not allowed to leave during the journey."

"Shangyuan Village. Fengxiuxue, Du Shangjing, Qi Nian, Gu Pingsheng, Ling Tao."

"Zhongyuan Village. Yu Wenxuan, Bai Yanliang, Jiang Li, Xu Zhifei, Lu Guo."

"Xiayuan Village. Ren Wudao, Li Mu, Jiang Zhijie, Song Que, and Li Yuejun."

Densely packed words appeared in the void, and what made people tremble was that this time the blood words were much redder than before!

Moreover, everyone has smelled the smell of blood in the air, and the words in the void are actually written in blood!
Bai Yanliang was the first to finish reading because he read very fast, but after finishing this task, his eyes kept falling on one person.

Yu Sheng.

Without her...

This time the mission included everyone except her.

Soon, others also noticed this, and everyone's eyes fell on Yu Sheng.

Some are confused, some are uneasy, but more are envious.

No one could understand why even Ren Wudao, who had just entered Wu Ji, was included, but she was not?

Facing everyone's gaze, Yu Sheng did not act uneasy as she did in the past. She just stood there with her head down, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

"Hey, I have a guess..."

Yu Wenxuan bumped into Song Que's shoulder.

Song Que glanced at him. After the last mission, Song Que's temperament had obviously matured a lot.

"The mission states that everyone should go, 'everyone', but Yu Sheng is missing. Do you think... could she be dead? The one standing there now is a ghost. She has already been removed from the list by Wu Ji, so she is not counted among 'everyone'..."

Just as Yu Wenxuan finished speaking, a huge fist suddenly hit him in the face!

Yu Wenxuan's eyes turned cold, he took a step forward, dodged the punch from behind by leaning sideways, and then slammed his shoulder into the man's chest, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.

"Newcomer, what do you mean?"

Yu Wenxuan looked down at Ren Wudao.

Ren Wudao got up expressionlessly and kicked Yu Wenxuan at high speed.

There was a flash of murderous intent in Yu Wenxuan's eyes, but he did not dodge. Instead, a shiny dagger slipped out of his sleeve and went straight for Ren Wudao's neck!

If Ren Wudao insisted on kicking him, his own neck would definitely be pierced with a bloody hole.

Everyone present was shocked by this sudden turn of events. Why did a fight suddenly break out?

Seeing that one was about to die and another was about to be injured, two people attacked at the same time.

Bai Yanliang kicked Ren Wudao's knee from the side, and Song Que held Yu Wenxuan's arm.

Ren Wudao and Yu Wenxuan's actions were finally stopped.

Li Mu and Du Shangjing also hurried to help pull the two apart.

"Okay, okay, we're about to go see a ghost. We don't even know if we can live to see the sun next month. What's the point of fighting now?" Du Shangjing advised.

"Take back what you said just now." Ren Wudao ignored Du Shangjing. He stared at Yu Wenxuan, his tone as cold as a knife.

"Oh?" Yu Wenxuan glanced at Yu Sheng in surprise, then looked at Ren Wudao. He seemed to have figured out something from the looks of the two.

"Ah! So that's how it is. I'm so sorry..." Yu Wenxuan said with sudden enlightenment.

Seeing that he seemed to have lost his hostility, Song Que let go of his hand.

Yu Wenxuan approached Ren Wudao with a smile and asked doubtfully, "Miss Yu, are you Mr. Ren's sister?"

"..."

Ren Wudao was about to answer when his pupils suddenly shrank!
All he saw was a flash of sharp knife light passing before his eyes!

Ren Wudao subconsciously tilted his head back, and the strands of hair hanging on the side of his face slowly fell down.

At the same time, a shallow bloodstain appeared on his cheek below his eye.

If Ren Wudao had raised his head a little slower, this bloodstain would have appeared on his eyes. "You reacted pretty quickly..." Yu Wenxuan put away the dagger, and this time, he did not get close to Ren Wudao.

He just bent down, leaned over, and said with a smile: "Your appearance makes me more certain...she is dead."

The veins on Ren Wudao's neck bulged, and he was about to kill Yu Wenxuan regardless of the consequences, but he saw Yu Wenxuan laugh and hide behind Song Que.

"It's just a joke. You can't even take a joke like that, can you? Professor Ren?"

The way he addressed Ren Wudao made Bai Yanliang's heart move.

Yu Wenxuan had met Ren Wudao in real life, or at least knew Ren Wudao.

But... this is not too strange. After all, Yu Wenxuan is also from Yecheng, and Ren Wudao is so outstanding, it is not too strange for him to be known by others.

Ren Wudao stood up, patted himself, and looked at Yu Wenxuan deeply.

The response he got was Yu Wenxuan's smile.

At this time, everyone finally understood why Ren Wudao knew that this was Wu Ji, and was not surprised at the situation before them.

He is Yu Sheng's brother, and it seems that Yu Sheng has told him about Wu Ji.

Thinking of this, the others looked at Yu Sheng.

Speaking of which, although it was not Yu Sheng’s fault, the conflict between the two was indeed because of her, but Yu Sheng turned a blind eye to it.

This time, not only Bai Yanliang, but everyone else felt that something was wrong with Yu Sheng.

She left a very good impression on everyone. She is smart and kind. Although she has a disability, she is stronger than the average person.

If it were her usual self, she would definitely step forward to stop it if she saw something like this.

Could it be... that it is really like what Yu Wenxuan said?
Yu Sheng is actually... already dead?
Everyone is just confused about this question but cannot get an answer.

Apart from Yu Sheng himself and Ren Wudao, perhaps only one person knows the answer.

Song is missing.

A tiny light flashed in his pupils, and a transparent outline outside Yu Sheng's body quietly appeared.

Still alive, she is human.

Song Que could be sure of it.

In order to prevent any mistakes, he looked at Bai Yanliang again.

In Song Que's eyes, the outer layer of Bai Yanliang's body was still empty, without the transparent outline like everyone else.

If we have to find a ghost, Bai Yanliang is the one who looks most like a ghost.

This sudden conflict alleviated the atmosphere of fear a lot.

When everyone calmed down, the repulsive force had already emerged.

Li Mu said quickly: "Time is almost up! Tomorrow is the fourth time node. People who are going to the same village should form a team by themselves and must not be late! I suggest... setting off today."

Li Mu's words also reminded everyone.

This unsolvable task, which was supposed to be carried out half a year later, started again four months later.

An extremely depressing atmosphere lingered around.

No one knows what will happen this time.

Shangyuan Village, Zhongyuan Village, Xiayuan Village...

Hiding from the moon in the mountains, fishing for coffins in the water...

Except for Yu Sheng, everyone was selected. How many people can come back alive this time...

Before being driven out by Wu Ji, Bai Yanliang glanced at the people from the same village as him this time.

Yu Wenxuan, Jiang Li, Xu Zhifei, Lu Guo.

Coincidentally, they were also looking at him.

After a moment, all the figures suddenly disappeared.
