Chapter 1: Engagement(2/3)
"Professor Wang, don't rush the meeting now, I have something else to say."
"you say."
Wang Xiaoming surprisingly did not object, but chose to support Lin Qian.
"First of all, you have to give me something. That thing is my hope for survival."
"Can."
Wang Xiaoming didn't waste any time and took out a gold box from his pocket. Just like before, he pushed it along the smooth conference table in front of Lin Qian.
Everyone's eyes followed the movement of the gold box. Today was the second time that Wang Xiaoming took out the gold box.
The first time was when Yang Jian completed a piece of the puzzle and asked Yang Jian to agree to deal with an S-level supernatural incident.
Now he took out another one, and Lin Qian's tone said that this was still his hope of survival.
This couldn't help but make everyone curious, even Ye Zhen and Yang Jian.
What kind of thing can become the hope of an existence that controls the hungry ghosts and ghost paintings?
Lin Qian looked at the box that had slid over and narrowed her eyes slightly. She looked at Wang Xiaoming and saw that he looked like he had expected it and said nothing.
He reached for the box and opened it directly. When he saw the contents inside, Lin Qian closed the box and put the box away without expression.
The thing is correct, it belongs to the bride.
Lin Qian's lips curled up as he looked at the eyes that were looking at him one by one:
"Why, are you curious?"
Hearing this, everyone withdrew their gaze and did not look at Lin Qian again. This guy was very scary, so it was better not to offend him. Everyone present felt the oppressive force just now.
"That's the first thing, the second thing."
Speaking of this, Lin Qian looked at Fang Shiming:
"Give me the stuff."
"what?"
Seeing Lin Qian looking directly at him and asking for something, Fang Shiming was confused for a moment. He thought about it for a long time without even thinking about what Lin Qian wanted.
"Ghost scissors." Lin Qian calmly said what he wanted.
Hearing that it was this thing, Fang Shiming's face instantly turned ugly. He stared at Lin Qian with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
Lin Qian's eyes flashed red and she turned to look at Wang Xiaoming:
"You don't mind if I kill him."
So arrogant!
At this time, thoughts suddenly came into the minds of the others. Cao Yang looked at Lin Qian with a cold expression and silently looked away, mourning three seconds of silence for Fang Shiming in his heart.
Dabei City Xie Qi tightened the chains around his hands and did not say anything. He could not get involved in this situation.
After hearing Lin Qian's words, Wei Jing and Li Jun became silently vigilant, ready to obey orders at any time and go to rescue Fang Shiming. Although they knew there was no chance of rescuing him, they still had to try.
Wang Xiaoming frowned slightly. He did not look at Lin Qian but at Fang Shiming, who had a gloomy expression. He thought for a while and said:
"Give him the things. He will kill you. No one here can stop him. Mr. Qin is outside the city and will not come back."
"Besides, it's not a good thing that you are holding the ghost scissors now. Even if Lin Qian doesn't kill you, you will still die. There is a fierce ghost outside the city, and the ghost scissors on your body are her puzzle pieces."
"It's much safer for Lin Qian to hold it than for you to hold it."
Fang Shiming's face suddenly stiffened, and he looked at Wang Xiaoming with a serious expression. He knew clearly that Wang Xiaoming did not lie to him, and there was no need to lie to him.
Wang Xiaoming was saving him. He was sure that if he didn't hand over his things today, he would die here.
Thinking of this, Fang Shiming took a deep breath and took out a gold box from his pocket. This was the third gold box that appeared today.
From the first to the third, each one is weird.
Pushing the gold box in front of Lin Qian, Fang Shiming sat on the chair without saying a word. He now understood that the news coming out of the headquarters from beginning to end was misleading.
He suspected that the headquarters just wanted to see them die. If it hadn't been for the sudden incident in Dajing City, their circle of friends might have followed the plan.
When the time comes, Fang Shiming will be the first to be killed by Yang Jian, without Lin Qian taking action.
Looking at the three people sitting side by side, Lin Qian, Yang Jian, and Ye Zhen, none of them are easy to mess with.
Lin Qian opened the gold box, and a pair of old scissors were placed quietly in the box.
He didn't feel surprised that Wang Xiaoming knew that this thing was one of the puzzle pieces of the Cunning Bride. With Mr. Qin here, Wang Xiaoming wouldn't know much about it.
Reaching out to pick up the ghost scissors, Lin Qian felt a chill spread over his body. A scene suddenly changed in front of his eyes. Black threads were wrapped around the ghost scissors, and he didn't know what was on the other end of the thread.
Lin Qian looked at the threads cut by the ghosts. These were curses, curses from the evil ghosts.
"It's really an interesting thing. I wonder if I can eat the ghosts represented by these lines."
"First let's see if there is any curse on me. Logically speaking, there should be one. The Cunning Bride has such a deep connection with me. Let's try and see if we can cut it off."
Lin Qian lowered his head, and two lines, one red and one white, appeared in front of Lin Qian's eyes.
The red line is very thick and the connection point is at his heart. The white line is very thin and the connection point is at his abdomen.
Looking along the red line, it extends outside the city. Not surprisingly, the end of the red line is the Cunning Bride.
The direction the white line extends is to the north of the city, and I don't know what is at the end.
When Lin Qian saw the thickness of the red line, he knew that he wanted to rely on ghost scissors or scissors to keep in touch with the mysterious bride.
"It's really troublesome."
Lin Qiandi murmured, not paying attention to the footsteps ringing in her ears, and staring at the illusory white line. Not surprisingly, this white line was the connection between the starving ghost and the wishing ghost.
"It's really tenacious. Even the starving ghost has become so scary. That thing hasn't given up yet."
Lin Qiantong's eyes were cold, and she cut without hesitation, and the white line broke instantly.
In the past, nothing would have been so easy. At that time, even the Starving Ghost had to rely on the Stealing Ghost to steal every trace of the Wish Ghost's ability.
And it's not a complete time restart. He can now complete a time restart, all because he was eaten by hungry ghosts.
Therefore, if this situation continues, even if the connection with the wish ghost is not severed today, sooner or later, this connection will disappear on its own. There is no other reason than that the starving ghost is more terrifying than the wish ghost.
That's all.
It's just that today is ahead of schedule.
And the moment Lin Qianyi cut the white thread with scissors, in an alley on the outskirts of Dajing City, his tone suddenly became distorted.
A little girl looked around in confusion, and behind her, a dark figure was staring at the center of Dajing City.
Lin Qian casually put the ghost scissors into his pocket. After cutting off the connection, his mind seemed to have recovered something else. Although he didn't know what it was, it was a good thing, he knew it very well.
Lin Qian was not looking at Fang Shiming, but looked at the clock hanging on the wall, thought for a while, and then said:
"I'll deal with the treacherous bride."
"Can."
"But I want to make sure of one thing." Wang Xiaoming said after silence.
"What's the matter?" Lin Qian said.
"Can you do it and use the ghostly painted ghost domain to contain all the evil ghosts in the entire Dajing City?" Wang Xiaoming stared at Lin Qian with a serious tone.
Hearing Wang Xiaoming's words, everyone in the conference room looked at Lin Qian.
There was surprise and solemnity in his eyes. Even the head of the headquarters was staring at Lin Qian, hoping very much that Lin Qian would say yes.
Because even he knew that as long as Lin Qian said yes, the crisis in Dajing City would be resolved in just a few seconds.
Dismissed by one person!
Lin Qian did not answer the question immediately, but touched his pocket and found that there was no cigarette. So he skillfully reached into Yang Jian's pocket, took out a cigarette, and lit it.
Yang Jian looked at Lin Qian with an expressionless face as he smoked the cigarettes he bought. After a moment of silence, he also lit one.
When Ye Zhen saw this scene, he, who was always not weak, took a cigarette out of the cigarette case and lit it.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit strange. A group of people looked eagerly at the three young men who were puffing away. Most of the original solemn atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
The headquarters looked at these three people, their eyes couldn't stop twitching, Shen Liang and Cao Yanhua even covered their faces, not wanting to look at these three people.
Lin Qian exhaled a puff of smoke, looked outside the conference room, thought for a while and said:
"Can."
Hearing this answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Xiaoming rarely smiled, but then his smile disappeared.
"You can, you can, but you have to be clear about one thing. The ghosts are packed in, but I can't eat that many at one time, especially the S-class ghosts. I can only eat two at a time."
"After eating, it will take some time to digest, and there are more than two S-class supernatural incidents in Dajing City."
"If it's just like this, it doesn't matter. At worst, just eat slowly."
"Can……"
Lin Qian stared at Wang Xiaoming with a strange smile on his face:
"But, my ghost realm is not mine alone, it belongs to the mysterious bride outside the city."
"I can tell you clearly that with the connection between me and the Creepy Bride, the Creepy Bride can directly summon ghosts from the ghost paintings into reality. The more ghosts in the ghost paintings, the more terrifying they are, and the more terrifying the bride's ability to summon ghosts.
To be continued...
