I am a retired rider in Xingtie, and I am loved by players.

"Hoho: Wow!!!"

Suddenly, a sharp scream was heard coming from the depths of the bamboo forest. Jia Hun, who was controlling the Pioneer to search for Gui Naifen in the bamboo forest, immediately sat up straight and became alert in an instant.

This is the sound of Huo Huo!

What happened to her?!

Realizing that the cute little fox girl might also be attacked by evil spirits, Jiahun hurriedly controlled the Pioneer to the yard with the bronze mirror.

"Xing: The sound should be coming from here..."

"Xing: But why can't I see Huo Huo?"

"Xing: Not only Huo Huo, but Yilu and Gui Naifen also disappeared like this. How did those things called Sui Yang do it?"

……

"Boom!"

Just when Xing was thinking about whether to leave the yard, the door behind her suddenly slammed shut with a dull sound, and the door seemed to be locked automatically.

"Oh no! It's a trap..."

Realizing that she was trapped in this yard, Xing bit her lip, took a deep breath calmly, suppressed the fear that was rising in her heart, and turned her gaze towards the various objects in the yard.

She couldn't panic. If she panicked, it would create opportunities for Sui Yang. Now she should calm down and slowly look for clues about Huo Huo's disappearance. Maybe she could follow the clues to find the missing Gui Naifen and Yi Lu...

Soon, her attention was focused on the bronze mirror in the center of the courtyard.

"Is this... a mirror? It looks creepy."

Coming in front of the bronze mirror, Xing looked at himself in the mirror and inexplicably felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity in his heart.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt like there was something in the mirror staring at her.

"Did I see it wrong?"

The gray-haired girl looked carefully at the bronze mirror in front of her, stretched out her hand and waved at herself in the mirror, and even played a few games of rock-paper-scissors. However, this bronze mirror seemed to be just an ordinary mirror and did not give any response beyond her expectations.

"It seems that I am overthinking..."

Just as Xing was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly felt a cold hand grab her wrist and pull her into the mirror.

"what!"

When Xing opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in a gloomy house that was somewhat similar to Suiyuan, but fundamentally different.

There were long corridors connected in all directions like a maze, with a few white paper lanterns hanging above, casting a pale light all over the ground. Outside the yard was a lush bamboo forest, and it seemed that something extremely terrifying was hidden there.

"Where am I, in Suiyuan? It seems a little different."

The chilly wind that came from nowhere made the gray-haired girl's legs tremble. Even the blessing of pioneering could not resist this chill, which meant that this was not real cold, but was caused by some special factors.

Not sure if it was her illusion, Xing suddenly heard a few barely audible sobs from afar, and instantly the hairs on her body stood up.

"This place is really weird..."

She took out a baseball bat, looked around vigilantly, walked slowly forward, and came to a wooden door.

Looking outside through the crack in the door, in the dark corridor, there seemed to be an unclear figure gradually approaching, surrounded by large patches of ghost lights, as if it was surrounding some extremely terrifying existence.

"Then...what is that?"

For some reason, the moment she saw that figure, Xing felt that the fear in her heart seemed to be aroused, as if something was instigating her to avoid the figure that was approaching here as soon as possible.

Very strong, this guy is so strong that it's scary. If you don't avoid it quickly, something big will definitely happen!

A cold wind blew past, and the girl couldn't help but shiver. She turned her head and glanced around, and found a rusty iron cabinet not far away. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she opened the cabinet door and got in without hesitation.

"Crunch—crunch—"

The old wooden door was pushed open with a hoarse whimpering sound. Through the gap in the iron cabinet, Xing could see a flash of cold fire. Although she didn't see clearly what the thing looked like, she could feel the coldness. This guy... might be a real evil spirit!

Thinking of this, a horrifying picture flashed through her mind - under the pale light, a monster with three heads was walking in this strange corridor, its messy white hair covering its face, making it difficult to see its appearance, and in its hand was a butcher knife stained with blood.

Sui Yang... What kind of conspiracy are these guys brewing?

"crunch-"

At this moment, the cabinet door in front of her was suddenly opened.

A slender woman's arm stretched out from outside, and five pale fingers grabbed Xing's shoulders. The strange cold touch almost froze the blood in her body, and her heart beat wildly.

Without any hesitation, she immediately took out the fire gun and stabbed at the person coming.

However, when Xing saw the other person's appearance, her eyes widened immediately, and the flaming spear in her hand suddenly stopped in place.

"Ilu?!"

Yilu: “…”

I clearly followed the traces left by Sui Yang and came here, but I didn't expect that the person hiding in the closet was Xing.

But now she is still playing the role of a person controlled by Sui Yang. If she walks with Xing, the other Sui Yangs who are watching will probably notice something is wrong, and then she will not be able to gain their trust.

That is to say-

"Oh, you got the wrong person, I'm not Yilu, my name is Bai Linglan!"

The silver-haired girl sneered, then called upon the power of Sui Yang. Her entire body was covered with a large area of ​​ghostly blue fire. She looked down at Xing in front of her with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Gray Peony, what are you standing there for? Come and have a round of sparring with me!"

-----------------

Meanwhile, the real world.

"My family, isn't this place a bit too eerie? I'm really a bit scared..."

After being pulled into the small cave in Suiyuan by an unknown existence, Jia Hun realized that something was wrong here. She really felt that something was secretly peeping at her through the screen.

And when she observed the strange figure gradually approaching outside through the crack in the door, the animation performances everywhere made her heart skip a beat.

[High energy ahead, everyone turn down the volume and protect your ears]

[Although I don’t know why, I still thank Guanyin Bodhisattva]

【Hide in the closet! 】

Seeing the prompt in the barrage, Jiahun immediately controlled the Pioneer to hide in an iron cabinet not far away.

Not long after, the door was pushed open, and two prompt boxes popped up in front of her:

"A: Open the door"

"B: Keep hiding."

"I can't possibly get out!"

Without any hesitation, Jiahun decisively chose the second option and entered an immersive first-person animation performance. Sharp violin strings sounded, as if telling the protagonist's inner tension at this moment.

However, it was not known whether it was the production team's bad taste, but just when Jia Hun thought she had escaped, the cabinet door was suddenly opened, and a slender woman's arm stretched out from outside, and five pale fingers grabbed her shoulders.

"what!!!"

Such a sudden fright made Jia Hun, who was completely unprepared, couldn't help but scream. Fortunately, the viewers in the live broadcast room had turned off the sound after being reminded by Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he escaped.

"Crack!"

As Xing's flaming spear stabbed the opponent, the screen in the game shattered. Jiahun entered the battle interface, and the enemy that appeared in front of her was actually——

"Ilu?!"

"Oh, you got the wrong person, I'm not Yilu, my name is Bai Linglan!"

The silver-haired girl, whose body was shrouded in blue will-o'-the-wisp fire, seemed to have a drastic change in personality, and her tone was no longer as gentle as before. She waved her hand and summoned a large number of skill puppets made of faded ginkgo branches. She looked at Xing provocatively, signaling her to attack.

"Gray Peony, what are you standing there for? Come and have a round of sparring with me!"

"Gray, Gray Peony?!"

After hearing the code name that Yilu gave her, Xing was stunned for a moment, but before she could react when she had this extra code name, Yilu controlled those faded skill puppets to attack her.

Chapter 78 Yilu, Become the King of Suiyuan (9K)

The demonic machines were supposed to be inventions of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and Information. They were not supposed to have intelligence, but due to some anomalies, they were given a short "life".

The same is true for the faded mechanical puppets made by Yilu. They are based on faded ginkgo wood that has lost the protection of the power of "abundance" and are fused with Sui Yang's spiritual fire, making their combat effectiveness far stronger than ordinary demon-possessed mechanical puppets.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. As usual, I will take a look at the detailed introduction of these monsters first."

Realizing that the battle between her and Yilu was inevitable, Jiahun took a deep breath and clicked into the detailed interface of these rich creations called "Faded Artifacts". After seeing its skill introduction and weakness attributes, she immediately opened her eyes wide:

"Weak in fire, weak in physics... My family, she is too gentle. Even if she is possessed by Sui Yang, the monsters she arranges for us are weak monsters."

[Attack the pioneers: call the monsters, and give them the weakness attribute. Attack others: Hunting mode has been activated, and frozen earth combat is carried out! ]

[Look, she didn't even plan to take the transformation device. Isn't that enough to show her love for you? ]

[I'm not afraid that she'll take out the transformation device, I'm afraid that she'll point the "Hunting Order" at me, let the "Emperor Bow Siming" shoot arrows at me, and then we'll lie on the ground and sleep together]

【What is Yandere? 】

[The immortal boatman who saw the emperor shooting arrows with a bow: Amenos]

Ignoring the barrage of comments, Jiahun focused on dealing with the three faded gadgets in front of her. After using the taunt of her combat skill to accumulate enough layers of "Burning Will", she used an enhanced normal attack to break the weaknesses of the three monsters at the same time, and then sent them all away with a Flame Lance Charge.

……

"Yilu, wake up, don't you recognize me?"

While using the flame spear to resist the attack of the Fading Machine, Xing shouted to the silver-haired girl shrouded in blue will-o'-the-wisp not far away, trying to wake her up from the state of being "possessed" by Sui Yang.

"Of course I recognize you, Gray Peony. It was you who betrayed and destroyed the Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine, causing me, the leader, to be in this situation now, facing the pursuit of the Immortal Boat alone. How could I not recognize you!"

In order to make his performance more realistic and thus deceive Sui Yang who was still watching, Yi Lu deliberately added a lot of will-o'-the-wisp special effects to himself when using Sui Yang's power, floating in the air, giving people a sense of being the mastermind behind the scenes.

At this moment, the girl was fully devoted to the performance. She held her forehead with one hand and made a rather childish pose, looking down at Xing who was waving a flaming spear and fighting with the fading machine.

It was not until she realized belatedly that this might very well become her dark history that Yilu coughed twice, restrained her movements, and slowly fell to the ground.

"Gray Peony, you know, human power has its limits after all... Soon, you will understand this truth too."

Staring into Xing's eyes, Yilu slowly spread out her palms, and faded ginkgo branches grew out of them one after another. In an instant, a handful of silver thorns condensed on her hands, and the ghostly blue fire spread up, emitting a chilling chill.

Although it was a bit heartbreaking to see Xing so anxious, she had to act fully. At worst, she could just pretend that she couldn't win and then retreat tactically.

After all these Sui Yang are captured, she will go to Xing's room in person to apologize.

As for the way to apologize, that depends on what Xing likes. As long as the request is not too excessive, she will consider agreeing to it.

-----------------

"White Bells of the Orchid: Gray Peony, you know, human power has its limits after all... Soon, you will understand this truth too."

"Xing: Ilu... No matter how much it costs, I will wake you up with my own hands! (The tip of the gun is lit)"

"Are you really going to fight Ilu?"

Even though Jiahun was ready to fight Yilu in the "possession" state, she still couldn't bring herself to do it when she saw the familiar petite figure standing against her under Suiyang's temptation.

You can let me fight monsters, but you want me to fight Ilu, especially Ilu who hasn’t transformed. How can I bear to do that?

[Wait, Yilu didn't transform, why is she fighting us naked? ]

[Bai Linglan is the leader of "The Secret of Medicine King", and Yilu is a Grammer Iron Cavalry. They are not the same person, so Bai Linglan will not transform.]

[Fuck! Don’t tell me, it’s true! ]

Just as the comments were discussing why Yilu did not choose to summon the Snow Firefly Armor, but chose to fight the Trailblazer in normal mode, Jiahun suddenly heard someone's whisper in his ear, as charming as a demon:

"???: Hehe, you can't do it?"
