Weird Talker

Chapter 32
It turned out that Zhong Xueran was not Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran.

Liu Jingqing stared dumbfounded at the Sanqingling in Zhong Xueran's hand, and stammered, "Yes... did you help us?"

Zhong Xueran nodded: "Yes, I asked you to explore the way, so I should be more or less responsible to you."

She showed off her Sanqingling indifferently, and said, "My permanent item, Sanqingling, can only be used once in a game. You can designate up to three people to move instantly within the game range! How about it? Great, right?"

Zhong Xueran was full of pride, but Qin Manjiang suddenly said: "You entered here a week earlier than us?"

"Correct me, it's six days." Zhong Xueran put San Qingling away, winked at the two of them, and said, "Anyway, thanks to your blessings, this week-long game can end today."

"Come with me!" Zhong Xueran snapped his fingers, looking quite happy.

Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing followed her and listened to her explain the reason for the incident.

"After receiving the call for the game, I entered Xianyang Village the next day. The name of non-local students working in exchange for room and board was easily accepted by them." Zhong Xueran said as he walked, "The strange stories in this village are true. From the legend - a black sheep that helped refugees find a place to rest and recuperate."

"I learned that they have been holding festivals every three years for the past 20 years. This seems to commemorate the fairy sheep who helped them, but in fact it is through some kind of ceremony that the fairy sheep descends into the human body, and then By controlling people by some means, you can control the fairy sheep and let it fulfill your wishes."

She casually pointed to the houses of the big families in the village, "Look, these things are all obtained by wishing."

"There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in the world. Since they have gained wealth, they will of course pay the price." Zhong Xueran's voice was a little lower, "It's just that the price was passed on to the victim who is the carrier of the consciousness of the fairy sheep."

"Once every three years, plus this year, at least seven people died in this ceremony." Zhong Xueran suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked: "Speaking of which, what are the code names of the two of you?"

"I'm Chi Yu, Liu Jingqing." Liu Jingqing quickly introduced.

"Deep..." Qin Manjiang paused for a moment, and he began to regret again, why did he choose such a name, "I am Abyss...my name is Qin Manjiang."

"What Yuan?" Zhong Xueran seemed to have bad ears.

"abyss!"

"Oh, hahaha!" Zhong Xueran raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qin Manjiang, "Don't be shy if you like such a name."

"But having said that, you are very perceptive, student Shen Yuan." Zhong Xueran seemed to like teasing Qin Manjiang very much.

"Miss Zhong...your props...are just for us to use, is that okay?" Liu Jingqing asked a little embarrassedly.

Zhong Xueran waved his hand nonchalantly, reached into his bosom and took out: "What do you think this is?"

The two looked at what she was holding in her hand.

That's...a brush?
"It turned out to be taken away by you." Qin Manjiang thought of the urgent situation that Wang Ju hadn't found before.

"Well, this is the key to controlling the fairy sheep. As long as it is there, all its abnormal abilities will not be effective against me, and even... I can still control it." Zhong Xueran looked at the brush with a smile, "So, we This game will be over soon, and as for the thing that helped you just now, you don’t have to take it to heart, if you don’t do that, it will be very difficult for me to escape safely.”

She led the way towards the central square of the village, and said as she walked, "Actually, I have been looking for where this writing brush is hidden these days. Chen, Wang, Zhang, Li, Sun, and Xie's six families are all possible. Hiding it, with my own strength, it is difficult to find such a thing in these six families..."

"So you told us the news and led us to investigate the situation of the six families. Just in time, we encountered the revenge of the ghosts. Their eyes were all on us outsiders and the ghosts, so you took the opportunity to steal the preservation. The writing brush at the village chief's house." Qin Manjiang continued.

"Yes, they know there are ghosts, and they know what they are trading with, but none of these people are in a hurry, and they must have something to rely on. Normally, it is difficult for me to get into the village chief's house, but who Did something happen to their ceremony?" Zhong Xueran turned the brush flexibly between his fingers, admitting Qin Manjiang's conjecture.

Liu Jingqing seemed to realize something at this moment. She looked at Zhong Xueran and covered her mouth: "So... the old village chief died because you stole his brush?"

Qin Manjiang and Zhong Xueran looked at her at the same time, and asked suspiciously: "Shouldn't he be dead?"

The unison of the two also made each other stunned. After looking at each other, Zhong Xueran smiled cheerfully, and then said to Liu Jingqing: "I am not a murderer, they are."

Qin Manjiang nodded.

Liu Jingqing still seemed a little unacceptable, but she finally didn't continue to question anything.

It is normal for people to have different opinions.

Different experiences, different ideas, different perspectives, and different personalities... So many times, people don't need to understand each other, and they don't have to persuade others. The most basic mutual respect is enough.

At this time, Qin Manjiang suddenly felt something, not only him, Zhong Xueran also stopped.

The two looked around.

The streets of the entire village were empty.

It was disturbingly quiet.

Even if everyone went to the central square of the village to participate in the Huayang Festival, it shouldn't be so quiet, right?

Soon the three of them realized something was wrong, and after walking for a while, although they couldn't believe it, they still came to this conclusion...

There seemed to be only the three of them in the entire Xianyang Village.

"Why, how did this happen..." Liu Jingqing turned pale and said, "When we left the central square of the village, the festival had already been suspended, and I saw everyone go home..."

No one could give her an answer to this question.

"In the past few days, have you encountered a fairy sheep?" Qin Manjiang asked suddenly.

He looked at Zhong Xueran, the woman's eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something.

Hearing this now, she shook her head: "No, although I entered the village early, the whole village was normal until last night, even though the atmosphere was rather weird."

Qin Manjiang fell silent. In other words, all the anomalies did start after the accident in the "making immortal sheep" ceremony last night.

Qin Manjiang now has a very bad guess.

He had seen the fairy sheep with his own eyes, its dark and blurry figure, only a black sheep's head was clearly visible, but the ghost he saw in the village head's room just now had a completely different appearance from the fairy sheep.

Will there be two ghosts?
One is the source of all the weirdness, Xianyang.

The other is Li Rong, the victim who died in the ceremony of "making immortal sheep".

He glanced at the writing brush in Zhong Xueran's hand, and he felt even more suspicious.

At this moment, a middle-aged strong man with a bare upper body and blood on his hands appeared at the corner in front of him with blank eyes.

"Mr. He Jian?!"

Liu Jingqing exclaimed.

This sound also woke up He Jian, his eyes lit up suddenly, and immediately shouted loudly after seeing Qin Manjiang and the other three: "Run! Go to the central square of the village! Chen Ping is a ghost, it is chasing after you!"

This shout made Qin Manjiang, Liu Jingqing and Zhong Xueran's complexions suddenly change, but Liu Jingqing and Qin Manjiang were surprised that Chen Ping turned out to be a ghost?
What surprised Zhong Xueran was the name——

"You said that among the players in the same group, there is a person named Chen Ping?"

she asked.
