Qi Cang's attitude made Qi Lin feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and how could he not know that it was because he didn't want Qi Lin to exchange his life for Qi Cang's?
"But... I've waited for you for so long, I don't want to see you face death..."
Qi Lin gritted her teeth and took off her shirt, forcefully throwing herself into his arms, her eyes blurry with tears, "You can't drink other people's blood, I'm actually... very happy."
The sweet scent of blood, separated only by a thin layer of skin, held a fatal attraction for Qi Cang, both for the person before him and for the blood within him.
Torn between absolute desire and the stirrings of reason, Qi Cang's eyes turned bloodshot.
Just as the two were about to part ways, Si Yan, who was limp and hanging on Jiang Nuo, suddenly stood up, picked up the coat that Qi Lin had just taken off, and pulled out the doll and the clothes given to her by the weeder with two fingers.
Then the mask was directly placed on Qi Cang's body.
This move caught everyone present off guard. Jiang Nuo raised an eyebrow, "You want to suffocate him and get rid of him completely?"
Si Yan was very unhappy with Jiang Nuo's misunderstanding. She snorted and hugged him again, as if he were a large doll.
Then, Qi Cang stopped struggling to push Qi Lin away, as if frozen in place by the strange clothes, lying quietly with his fangs gradually retracting.
Only the arm that was tightly holding Qi Lin was still exerting force.
The doll's body pressed against his chest, and gradually disappeared until it merged with Qi Cang.
Qi Lin stared in astonishment at the scene before him, unable to believe it.
"So... these things really can help you."
Thank goodness, the townspeople won't be harmed...
"Huh? No, don't you guys find it strange that Qi Cang refuses to drink blood? Doesn't that prove that the people here aren't actually human?"
"We can't draw conclusions yet, but after so many episodes, Jiang Nuo still hasn't shaken off his habit of killing..."
[It's true, Jiang Nuo's backing is getting stronger and stronger. Is he completely disregarding the safety of ordinary people?]
"I'm fed up! Can't these 'saintly' people just stop watching this show... They're always arguing about such trivial things!"
Jiang Nuo watched this scene, tilting her head thoughtfully in Si Yan's arms, "Did the little girl and the weeder know in advance that Qi Cang would suffer this calamity?"
Suddenly, he straightened up sharply and met the gaze of the little girl in the black dress who had silently appeared at the door.
"Hehehe, it's my honor to be able to help you."
The little girl still looks the same, but she changes her dress every time she appears, and never wears the same one twice.
Qi Lin picked up the shirt and put it on. Although he didn't know what the little girl's purpose was, he still thanked her.
"You're welcome. You'll have to help me with things too."
The little girl was quite impolite; a strange smile appeared on her pale face, as if her muscles were being suspended.
"Drive away the wizard's descendants and demons, and the town will return to peace."
Jiang Nuo stared into her eyes and suddenly felt a strange yet familiar sense of unease.
For a fleeting moment, I felt that this little girl was somewhat like an NPC guiding the player through a dungeon, who would offer assistance when necessary to ensure that the player's overall skill level was on par with the boss's strength.
But this thought was fleeting. Jiang Nuo asked her, "Since I'm going to help you, you should at least be honest."
Why is it that in everyone's memory you are always the same? Everyone in the town experiences birth, aging, sickness, and death, but you are the only one who doesn't have to grow up?
This might be commonplace in the dungeon world, but this is reality, unless the little girl isn't just an order maintainer as she claims, but simply an ordinary human being.
The little girl didn't intend to answer the question; she simply said that lunch was downstairs and turned to run away.
Jiang Nuo swung the red rope, grabbed her, and tied her to the chair.
"A child who doesn't answer questions isn't a good child."
Jiang Nuo smiled, pulling the little girl's braid, "Who taught you to run away at the drop of a hat?"
The little girl struggled for a moment, her face contorted in a bizarre way, and she put on a pitiful expression, actually trying to beg Si Yan for help.
Si Yan sneered and grabbed her other braid. "Speak."
Little girl. "..."
Draft it?
Two grown men bullying her, how could they have the nerve!
The little girl silently gave a disdainful look, "I won't tell!"
Then, with a snap, it vanished from the spot, leaving only a small doll on the chair.
Si Yan: "..."
His hands were suddenly empty, and he silently said to Jiang Nuo, "If it were a doll, it could indeed explain her secret to eternal youth."
Jiang Nuo grabbed the doll and threw it out the door, yelling, "Bad kid!"
With the help of the clothes and the doll, Qi Cang gradually suppressed his craving for blood, and his restless magic slowly calmed down.
He held Qi Lin tightly, their bodies whispering sweet nothings, when Si Yan interrupted him.
"No more public displays of affection! Tell me what just happened!"
He and Nuonuo didn't even put on a kiss!
Qi Cang glanced at him, but didn't dwell on it. Holding his still tearful lover, he whispered, " Su Yi was possessed. I fought the demon."
"The possessed demon is very powerful, definitely stronger than me, it doesn't seem fake."
"I saw its true form at the bottom of the river; it was enormous."
Upon hearing this, Si Yan couldn't help but recall the ugly things she had seen when she fell into the cave and her soul was trapped.
It must be the same demon.
Qi Cang continued, "I tore a part of its soul away, but it was still very strong and disappeared quickly."
Jiang Nuo made a quick decision. "To the church bell tower."
His casual expression softened somewhat, and he spoke very quickly.
"If the demons wish to begin their massacre, the phantom demons in the clock tower, powered by demonic forces, would be the perfect army."
Si Yan calculated with her fingers and sensed that the barrier was still in place.
"In that space, Nuonuo and I set up a seal and barrier inside the clock tower. There's also one in this space; they're interconnected."
Qi Lin wiped away his tears in his lover's arms, quickly regaining his composure. "Let's go."
Qi Cang stood up and followed behind him. Si Yan gave him a strange look and said with annoyance, "How come you're so tall?"
It's almost two meters away.
Qi Cang her noble and aloof demeanor, replied, "Indeed, I am taller than you."
Si Yan: "..."
Annoying.
He wrapped his arms around Jiang Nuo's waist, seeking comfort from his wife.
[Hahaha, Si Jiaojiao is feeling resentful! Do you still remember your title of "Top Attack" that you never returned from?!]
To be honest, Si Jiaojiao was really awesome when God Nuo disappeared!
"If we're together, the wife will step in when things go wrong; if we're apart, whoever you want will die...?"
As soon as the four stepped outside, they were hit by a strong stench of decay.
From Mikazuki Shunsuke's room.
Si Yan immediately took out a handkerchief and covered her nose, not daring to get close, for fear that she would also get the smell.
Jiang Nuo kicked it away, but didn't see Mikazuki Shunsuke.
Only Su Yi's corpse lay on the bed.
Qi Lin's expression changed slightly, and he quickly walked in. When he saw his friend's stiff, blackened corpse, his eyes revealed unbearable pain and sadness.
The stench of decay came from Su Yi's arm wound, which had rotted into a paste, surrounded by Demonic Qi, and emanated a foul stench.
Why would a demon choose to possess Su Yi...?
Qi Lin couldn't understand it.
