Chapter 39 Common Enemy

"Su Ran." Xie Shiqing repeated softly, with no ups and downs in his tone.

It was obviously a simple two words, but when he said it, it seemed a little unusually poetic?

Su Ran didn't know how to describe this feeling.

Or is this the aura that belongs exclusively to the boss?

"Let's get started." Su Ran put his mind away from this strange feeling and focused on the mound of soil in front of him.

Speaking of which, I don't know what the speed of time in the illusion is like.

Su Ran carefully used the wooden stick in his hand to move along the exposed corner of the coffin to open up the soil next to it, while thinking about the world outside the fantasy world from time to time.

"Is the flow of time here the same as the outside world?" Su Ran asked softly.

"It's different." It was Xie Shiqing who answered her, "After staying here for ten years, if you can successfully get out, the outside world will only pass by in the blink of an eye."

"But the time you feel in the illusion is real. After ten years, the changes in your body's feelings will be ten years."

"You will grow old and you will die."

Accompanying Xie Shiqing's voice was the rustling sound of soil being dug up.

Hua Rongqi was listening on the sidelines, but the more he listened, the deeper his frown deepened. Finally, he raised his head and took a deep look at him.

Is Xie Shiqing talking too much?

Or is it just his illusion?

Hua Rongqi shook his head, hoping that he was just overthinking.

He kept moving his hands, and when he almost dug the Buddha's hand onto the coffin again, he almost broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately abandoned these speculations and began to concentrate on digging the grave.

The three of them dug for more than half an hour, and only half of the coffin was revealed.

Su Ran stood up straight and hammered her waist, which was a little sore from bending down for a long time: "How long will it take to dig?"

There are no handy tools, and you have to be careful not to touch the coffin, otherwise you will be brainwashed by the magic sound.

The main environment is so dark!

Is this a human job? !

Su Ran couldn't help but start to think again, who was this illusion set up for, so that she, an innocent passerby, was implicated in this.

She wants mental damages! ! !
Su Ran, who was about to roll up his sleeves and continue working, caught a glimpse of Xie Shiqing who was moving around him from the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt blessed.

"It can't be you, can it?" she blurted out.

"Me?" Xie Shiqing paused and asked doubtfully.

Su Ran explained: "There is no way this illusion was set up for me. Hua Rongqi has a slight possibility, but you are the most likely."

She didn't say a word. The most important thing is that you look the best.

The more powerful a person is, the easier it is to become a thorn in the eyes of others, so there are more enemies.

Judging from Hua Rongqi's reaction when he heard Xie Shiqing say that he was "Yanchun", Yanchun should be a very powerful figure in Hua Rongqi's organization.

"And there are no other living people here, only the three of us." Su Ran added in a low voice.

After Xie Shiqing was silent for a moment, he said seriously: "It's not me."

"How could it not be you?" Hua Rongqi had automatically led him to believe that Xie Shiqing was the culprit who caused them to enter the illusion. "Is there someone else here?"

Xie Shiqing thought of someone and laughed in an unclear tone: "There really is."

This laughter is quite short, but it also contains a very subjective color.

Su Ran was keenly aware of the disgust in it.

"Ah?" Hua Rongqi didn't expect that there was a fourth person here. After being stunned for a moment, he asked, "Who is it?"

Xie Shiqing: "A brainless person."

Su Ran: "."

Hua Rongqi: "."

I know I am your enemy, but now is the time, can you put your personal grudges aside for now?
"What characteristics does he have?" Su Ran thought for a while and added: "If we are separated by then, how can we tell whether the person we meet is the, uh, brain-dead person you mentioned?"

Hearing this, Xie Shiqing frowned slightly, but the dark environment of the back hall concealed his expression. Su Ran heard him say: "There is a jade pendant with a dragon pattern hanging on my waist."

Su Ran: "Ah!!!"

Hua Rongqi: "Ah!!!"

Xie Shiqing: ".?"

"He is indeed a fool!" Su Ran and Hua Rongqi said in unison, and the disgust in their tone did not seem to be hypocrisy.

Even Xie Shiqing was stunned. How stupid is this person? Even the people he met in the fantasy world, with such a small chance, hated him.

"This is really an out-and-out idiot. You don't know how stupid he is!" Su Ran said angrily, trying to let everyone know how disgusting Long Aotian is.

Sure enough, nothing good will happen if you meet Long Aotian!

The Su family is in conflict with Long Aotian!
Su Ran has never hated someone he has never met so much.

When she read the original work, Su Ran hated this selfish, cunning, and vicious male protagonist. She even wondered more than once why the author wanted this disgusting person to be the male protagonist.

More than once, I couldn't help but want to give up the article because of this person, but I was pulled back by the obsessive-compulsive thought of "you must read all the articles after you start reading them".

I felt sick for quite a while after watching it.

Later, when I opened my eyes, I was inexplicably transported to this original world, and also transported to the Su family who suffered the most from Long Aotian's disaster.

How to describe Su Ran's change in mood at that time? It was probably: God really treated me well, let me live again - God, what have I done that is so outrageous that you want to do this to me?

Hearing her indignation, Xie Shiqing couldn't help but become curious and asked, "How stupid is he?"

"Ah" Su Ran got stuck.

She can't say that Long Aotian ruined her family, right?

Su Ran: "He abandoned his wife, which is a heinous crime!"

Xie Shiqing: (⊙o⊙)…

Hua Rongqi felt that this statement was somewhat familiar, and he had a bad premonition. His sixth sense told him to stop Su Ran from continuing.

"Who did he abandon?" Xie Shiqing asked.

That man has a wife?

Just him? Which girl is blind?

Su Ran pointed at Hua Rongqi: "He."

Xie Shiqing: "."

Hua Rongqi: "."

"He is really blind." Xie Shiqing said.

Xie Shiqing didn't say who he meant by "he", but both Su Ran and Hua Rongqi knew that he was talking about Long Aotian.

"What do you mean?" Hua Rongqi asked dissatisfied.

Xie Shiqing: "That's what you think."

Hua Rongqi: "."

I tolerate it.

Hate you gifted people.

Hua Rongqi thought, when one day I reach the top of my cultivation, I will trample all of you pesky people under my feet!
Su Ran, the annoying rich guy, counts as one, the annoying backstage person over there counts as one, and Xie Shiqing, the talented person, counts as one.

"What about the child? Whose child?" Xie Shiqing asked again.

"Uh, it's his too." Su Ran covered her face.

Hua Rongqi: "."

Ha ha! Unexpectedly, I will give birth to a child!
Hua Rongqi himself wanted to laugh at this cold joke.

Xie Shiqing: "."

That's awesome. Fortunately, he is no longer in the organization and doesn't have to hang out with these people. Otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

This organization is really in decline. Xie Shiqing was filled with emotions in his heart.

Hua Rongqi had a straight face. If Xie Shiqing dared to laugh at him, he would fight him now: "It's just an illusion, not what she said."

"Just tell others whether you are pregnant in the eyes of others." Su Ran raised an eyebrow, "I even touched her."

"Is it easy to touch?" Xie Shiqing blinked and asked out of nowhere.

Su Ran was stunned for a moment, and replied honestly: "It's quite easy to touch, it's soft."

Hua Rongqi: "."

As soon as Su Ran finished speaking and before Hua Rongqi had time to speak, he suddenly felt a cold gaze from the opposite side falling on him like a real person.

Hua Rongqi raised his head and met Xie Shiqing's indifferent eyes.

In the darkness, those eyes seemed colder than before, like deep pools of water.

The next moment, Xie Shiqing looked away, and Hua Rongqi wondered if he felt wrong.

Su Ran was completely unaware of this change. She was squatting down, changing her position and continuing to dig.

After working for so long, I'm a little hungry.

Su Ran thought that she shouldn't have deliberately eaten less for lunch just to eat more during the Lantern Festival.

Who knew I would suddenly enter a fantasy world!

Su Ran sighed and resigned to digging.

After digging for a while, he cursed Long Aotian in his heart.

Damn Long Aotian! Damn it!

Su Ran imagined that the person lying in the coffin was Long Aotian, and she was digging Long Aotian's grave. When I think about it, motivation comes.

Hua Rongqi looked at Su Ran, who was obviously more energetic, and thought she had some way to save energy, so he asked, "Why are you digging faster than before?"

Su Ran kept moving, without raising her head, and replied: "Just imagine that the person lying in the coffin is that idiot."

"I'm more motivated when digging into the graves of stupid people."

Hua Rongqi: "."

Don't tell me, this idea really makes me more motivated.

Xie Shiqing probably agreed with this change of thinking, and the movements of his hands were much faster than before.

Hua Rongqi couldn't help but think that among the three people present, he probably had the least hatred with that person.

Looking at the postures of Su Ran and Xie Shiqing, they wanted to eat their meat.

With Long Aotian as their common enemy, the remaining half of the coffin was dug out not long after.

A rectangular pit appeared on the ground, and a coffin made of ebony wood lay quietly inside.

There was a distance of about ten centimeters around the pit from the coffin, just to avoid touching the coffin during the digging process, which would cause the weird crying sound.

"How do you open this?" Hua Rongqi asked, still frightened by the baby's cry that sounded like a ghost.

If you want to open the coffin, you will inevitably encounter the coffin.

He couldn't stand that sound again.

And considering the weight, even one person might not be able to open the coffin.

Su Ran took a step forward hesitantly and said firmly: "Just lift it."

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and there is no other way.

If they give up now, wouldn't their digging for most of the day be in vain?

Hua Rongqi thought the same thing. Now that we have reached this point, just lift it. The worst thing I can do is cover my ears faster this time. At least I will be mentally prepared this time.

Xie Shiqing never expressed his opinions from beginning to end. He seemed to have no interest in anything.

Just follow Su Ran's command quietly.

Well, yes, it was Su Ran's command.

He ignored some of what Hua Rongqi said, as if he hadn't heard it. And some words will add one or two sentences, treating Huarong Qi as fun.

It is really automatically filtered, so you can only hear what you want to hear.

Hua Rongqi expressed deep protest against this, but his protest was specifically reflected in:

——On the grudge book in your heart, make an extra note for Xie Shiqing.

There was nothing else, because he couldn't beat Xie Shiqing.

Hua Rongqi is very self-aware of himself. He will only curse the person he can't offend silently in his heart.

This kind of behavior like a cricket shaking a big tree will not appear in Hua Rongqi's script.

The three of them stood in their respective positions, preparing to lift the coffin.

The moment their hands touched the coffin, everyone was prepared for the baby's cry to strike again, but this time nothing happened.

Su Ran was stunned for a moment, and then used her arms to exert force: "Lift--!"

The coffin was so heavy that it didn't even move when it was first lifted.

Until the three of them exerted their strength again, with the sound of grinding, the coffin gradually moved away.

The scene inside the coffin was exposed to everyone. There was no scene of blood and no bones. There was only an empty swaddle inside.

None of the imagined scenes appeared, and everyone didn't know whether this was good or bad.

"Take it out and take a look?" Hua Rongqi said this.

Su Ran maintained a vigilant attitude: "Do you want to take it with your hands?"

After all, it's something in the coffin, so it's not good to hold it with your hands, right?
Su Ran's eyes fell on the Buddha's hand at Hua Rongqi's feet and said, "Use the Buddha's hand to draw it out."

Hua Rongqi didn't hesitate and picked up the Buddha's hand again.

However, as soon as he stood up, he saw Su Ran and Xie Shiqing covering their ears in unison.

Hua Rongqi: "."

Brother and you have a heart-to-heart connection, and you and your brother use your brains, right?

"What about me?" Hua Rongqi looked at the two people and then at Su Ran, trying to awaken a trace of her conscience, "What should I do?"

Unexpectedly, Su Ran didn't look at him at all. It seemed that he had expected this. He looked at the baby in the coffin and answered the question inappropriately: "Come on, young hero."

Hua Rongqi: "."

You also learned to listen selectively from Xie Shiqing, right?

Hua Rongqi was heartbroken, but he didn't really want Su Ran to do this. He just sympathized with his oppression, then took a deep breath and walked to the coffin.

Hua Rongqi stared at the baby for a long time. Su Ran and Xie Shiqing didn't rush him, they just waited for him to be mentally prepared.

However, before Hua Rongqi could make a move, he heard him scream: "There are words here! Come quickly!"

Su Ran and Xie Shiqing looked at each other. They quickly walked to Hua Rongqi and looked in the direction he pointed.

The words Hua Rongqi said were written in swaddling clothes.

Looking at this distance, it seems to be written on the accidental material with a pen.

Because the color was very light, the font was very small, and the apse was dimly lit, they did not notice it at first.

Just now Hua Rongqi stared at the swaddling clothes for so long, and then he got closer, and then he discovered the writing hidden inside the swaddling clothes.

The words were all written on the inside of the swaddling clothes, and from their angle they could only see a faintly small piece.

"Take it out."

This time I had to take it.

Su Ran and Xie Shiqing no longer covered their ears, but stared at the swaddling baby intently.

Hua Rongqi no longer hesitated, raised the Buddha's hand in her hand, and slowly but firmly hooked the baby.
