death gap

Chapter 60
Hearing what the Taoist said, Li Wei was so panicked that he felt as if cold water had been poured over him, and he collapsed in the carriage.

"Don't panic, it's an unavoidable situation." Wang Li saw that he was so scared, so he took out a piece of chewing gum from his sleeve and handed it to the other person in a friendly manner:

"I will do my best to help you before things get too bad and completely unmanageable."

"..."

Li Wei observed his expression, his body was shaking, but he never took the piece of chewing gum.

"Your emotional intelligence is too low." Su Chen pointed out his mistake:

"No matter what you think, you shouldn't say it."

Seeing what he said, Li Wei almost cried. It turned out that these two guys were bad people.

"It makes sense, it's my fault." Wang Li knocked on his head, with a look of realization on his face, and then handed the chewing gum to Su Chen:

"You seem to be a very reliable person. Let's make friends."

"I'll think about it." Su Chen took the chewing gum and looked into his eyes:
"How do you plan to force out the Sea Soul User from his body?"

"I have my own way." Wang Li smiled mysteriously.

"What will happen after you force out the Sea Soul Envoy? What are you going to do?"

"If we can force it out, we will kill it on the spot." Wang Li pointed at Shi Chan beside him:
"If you can't force it out, transport it back to the Ancient Toad Temple. The damaged sealing mechanism there has been repaired. As soon as Li Wei enters, the Sea Soul Envoy will be sealed back into the body and will no longer be able to make trouble."

"Okay, let's see how you perform." Su Chen took out his phone and checked the time:
"It will get dark if you wait any longer. If you want to deal with this matter, I suggest you leave as soon as possible."

"Wait a moment, my junior sister will be back soon."

"You came as a team of two?"

"It's always been like this." Wang Li nodded, and then blew another bubble:
"The sect has regulations that at least two people must work in groups to perform tasks. It is strictly forbidden to go into danger alone."

"reasonable."

Su Chen unwrapped the chewing gum, put it into his mouth, and started chewing in the same manner.

……

Five minutes later, a young woman dressed as a Taoist nun quickly ran over from the sidewalk in front of the high school, opened the car door and sat directly in the cab.

She looked to be about the same age as Wang Li, with delicate and dignified features on her face, and her shiny black hair tied into a ponytail around her neck and hanging in front of her right shoulder.

As soon as the Taoist nun's hands touched the steering wheel, she noticed that there was an outsider in the car. She immediately frowned and asked:

"Brother, who is this?"

"A young knight who drew his sword to help when he saw injustice." Wang Li said with a smile:
"He had to force his way in, and we happened to be short of people. Working together can be said to be the best of both worlds."

"There are still people like this." The Taoist nun looked at Su Chen suspiciously through the rearview mirror:

"Are you dying?"

"Like this young man, I am a cursed person." Su Chen patted Li Wei on the shoulder:

"Joining you in this operation is just to gain experience, so as not to be helpless when encountering something strange next time."

"I see."

When the Taoist nun heard what he said, she immediately relaxed her frown and said with relief:

"If you want to join the team, just join the team. I have no objection."

"She is my junior sister, her common name is Chen Xue." Wang Li introduced her in a timely manner.

"My name is Su Chen." Su Chen did not hide his identity.

For a large sect like the Shenxiao Sect, it is very easy to identify a person by his appearance, and there is no need to use a false name.

"Okay, let's set off. Our goal is the Ancient Toad Temple next to Yunmeng Lake."

When the Taoist nun finished saying this, she had already started the van and then stepped on the accelerator to let the vehicle rush onto the road as fast as possible.Yunmeng Lake is in the western suburbs of Wuchang City, about fifty kilometers away from the university. If the van goes all out, it can get there before dark.

In the carriage, everyone has their own tasks.

Chen Xue was responsible for driving, Su Chen and Wang Li were responsible for guarding Li Wei, and Li Wei was responsible for being afraid.

"Why don't you find a lead box and put Li Wei in it temporarily?" Su Chen asked while he was still calm.

"The Sea Soul Envoy cannot transfer to other people before killing the current host." Wang Li explained with a smile: "So there is no need to lock up this young man. If you lock him up, it may actually kill him."

After prying out new information from his mouth, Su Chen changed the question:

"Didn't you say before that you would force the Sea Soul Envoy out? Why aren't you still working?"

"We are on the way to the Ancient Toad Temple. The Sea Soul Envoy will be re-sealed as soon as it gets close to it, so it will definitely cause trouble on the road." Wang Li put his hands on his chest, looking calm and confident:

"That's what I mean by forcing it out."

"So, you have a secret magic weapon to suppress the Sea Soul Envoy?" Su Chen looked at him curiously.

"Indeed." Wang Li did not deny it, but then warned with a vigilant look:
"However, don't be evil! If you kill someone to seize the treasure, our sect will definitely hunt you to the ends of the earth."

"Don't think nonsense, I will never commit robbery or murder." Su Chen said, and took out the concentric chain lock from the inner pocket of his school uniform:

"Besides, it's not like I don't have sealing items on me."

"Isn't this a concentric chain lock?" Taoist nun Chen Xue recognized it at a glance, and then said hesitantly:

"Why are you bringing this thing? It has no practical use."

"It has no practical effect?" Su Chen pretended to be surprised:
"But when I bought it, the seller said it could withstand one death disaster and was very precious."

"Hahaha!" Wang Li couldn't help laughing and said while laughing:

"When you use this thing, you are basically dead. Its function is to bind two people so that they can enter the same gap in the future."

"What about other than that? It has no other effect?" Su Chen asked with a look of reluctance.

"No, that's what it does. Haha, you've been fooled!" Chen Xue was also laughing at this moment.

"That's really a big loss." Su Chen put away the concentric chain lock with an annoyed look on his face.

However, deep down in my heart, my doubts about this prop have been dispelled. It seems that the effect is exactly as Fang Zhong said.

At this time, the van had already entered an unfinished community where construction had been stopped. Most of the buildings here were not even sealed, and were already unfinished.

Buildings one after another, like giants whose flesh and blood have been removed, leaving only their skeletons, stand silently in the sunset.

"Wow!"

In the wildly growing green belt, an owl suddenly hooted miserably on a branch.

Suddenly the wind blew and the weather suddenly became cold.

In the green belt, those willow trees that grow wildly are winding and twisted, with old leaves hanging on them that will never fall off. They look decadent and decaying.

Under the blood-red sky at dusk, the willow tree was blown by the wind from time to time, shaking its head and brain. The extremely twisted branches were like countless pairs of withered hands grasping something unwillingly.

"..."

Sensing something strange around her, Chen Xue suddenly felt guilty in her heart, as if she was in a world of ice and snow, her entire body was as cold as a cold.

Su Chen and Wang immediately turned their attention to Li Wei and the stone statue in front of him.

At this moment, the blood-like afterglow of the setting sun shone through the gaps in the clouds, penetrated through the car window, and smeared on Shi Chan's bloated and terrifying face, making it look like he was constantly drinking blood.

Then, everyone in the carriage heard the clear sound of waves.

It was as if... they were all on the rough coast at the moment.
