Chapter 703: Many Strange Things

[Holy Thorn (Blue)

Gift of Wealth

Effect: Immediately replenish physical strength, dispel control effects, and increase movement speed by 200%, with a two-minute cooldown after use. 】

"Blue quality item... Excellent grade?

Time Stop is only a white quality item, but Holy Thorn is blue.

This shows that the Goddess of Wealth believes that dispelling control effects, replenishing physical strength, and increasing movement speed are more important than Time Stop in this copy.

Of course, it may also be related to the number of times it is used. Time Stop can only be used once, while Holy Thorn can be used repeatedly, and only needs to wait for a two-minute cooldown."

Qi Ge took the unicorn horn and verified his guess at the same time.

"The coordinates I left last time are indeed the location of the key item.

The wings of the golden dragon, the arms of the tree man, I have no clues yet.

I can't miss the one on the top of the bookshelf in the bedroom.

Even if Leng Yu is in there, I have to go.

In addition, physical strength... Could it be..."

Qi Ge made up his mind, wrapped himself tightly with the quilt without hesitation, and turned back to the bedroom.

He ran quickly, rushed through the long corridor, and arrived at the corner.

"Huff, huff, huff."

Qi Ge panted slightly, half squatted, and pressed his hands on his weak thighs.

"Sure enough, this body has physical limitations, and the physical strength is ridiculously poor. I'm out of breath after running two steps.

Fortunately, I found it now. If I realized it when I was chased by a ghost, it would be a mess."

Qi Ge slowed down and walked back to his bedroom while recovering his strength.

In the long corridor, the candlestick still emitted a faint green light, which seemed quiet and peaceful, but it exuded a sense of weirdness.

Qi Ge walked very cautiously, always on guard against Leng Yu jumping out and scaring him.

He was now convinced that as long as he responded to Leng Yu's actions, he would be attacked by her, and there was a high probability that he would die instantly.

He was not sure whether he could pass this level, but in any case, he had to live longer than his last self, so that he could leave more useful information.

Arriving at the door of the bedroom, Qi Ge wrapped himself in a quilt and clung to the door stealthily. With the help of the light from the corridor, he looked into the bedroom through the crack of the door.

The bedroom was empty and quiet. Except for the candlestick missing from the cabinet, all other furniture and furnishings were exactly the same as what he saw when he just woke up.

"Well, where is Leng Yu? Disappeared?"

Qi Ge observed for a while and confirmed that there was no problem, and was about to enter the bedroom.

Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart and suddenly realized a problem.

"Wait a minute, when I left the bedroom, I not only took the candlestick, but also the quilt.

This quilt is wrapped around me, so why is there another quilt on that bed?!"

Hiss~~

Realizing this, Qi Ge was instantly horrified. He stared at the gorgeous velvet quilt on the bed, as if he saw something indescribable.

Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, he went to the tiger mountain. It is the behavior of a brave man, but it is definitely not the behavior of a wise man.

But Qi Ge looked at the bookshelf and couldn't bear to give up.

"The last me, with limited words, chose to leave a message that must be very crucial and must be read."

Qi Ge held the Time Stop Copper in one hand and the Holy Thorn in the other, staring at the big bed, and carefully squeezed into the room.

He stared at the quilt, with his back against the wall, and moved towards the bookshelf little by little.

Qi Ge was ready to hit the Time Stop at any time, but until he reached the bottom of the bookshelf, the quilt did not move.

But Qi Ge still did not dare to be careless. He observed twice, moved a table under the bookshelf, and climbed up from the table.

Because Qi Ge's attention was always on the quilt, he could only look at the top of the bookshelf with the corner of his eye.

This glance almost scared Qi Ge out of his wits.

On the top of the bookshelf, there was a corpse lying, the corpse was frozen, and there was frost on the face.

Qi Ge would never be wrong, that face was his own.

At the moment when Qi Ge was distracted, the quilt moved suddenly.

From the quilt, there came a series of strong inhalations.

Qi Ge: !!!

"Ah! Darling smells so good."

In Qi Ge's horrified eyes, a muffled sound suddenly came from the quilt.

Then, Leng Yu's head poked out from the quilt.

She stroked the quilt on the bed with pity, and talked to herself intoxicatedly:

"It's great, I really want to lie in the same quilt with my dear as soon as possible, and then bite from the neck, suck the blood of my dear bit by bit, and watch my dear struggling to death under me, but unable to get rid of it.

Ah, it's great."

Leng Yu said, and buried herself in the quilt again, squirming wildly in the quilt, and making faint moans, as if she was doing something to comfort herself.

As she moved, one piece of clothing after another was thrown out of the quilt...

Qi Ge: ...

Fuck! So you have a fever here! You scared me.

Qi Ge just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized a problem.

The corpse he just saw seemed to be wearing a very gorgeous dress, just like the dress of the royal family of the Elf Empire.

"Could it be..."

He hurriedly looked at the corpse, and slowly found a clue on the corpse.

[Dead Doll (Gold)

Gift of Wealth

Effect: This gift cannot be moved.

Can be activated, and it will take effect for half an hour after activation.

If you die during the effective period, you will be resurrected from the substitute doll without losing energy and retaining your memory, but you will not be able to leave a will, and the wealth gift will not be refreshed.

Disappear after successful substitution.

Current status:

Groom's dress: The doll has been dressed in groom's clothes by Leng Yu. If you are resurrected from the doll, you will immediately become Leng Yu's groom (death). 】

Qi Ge: ...

Damn! Fortunately I came.

It turns out that there is a key item [One-time Resurrection Point] hidden in the initial room!

How much fault tolerance can be increased by being able to resurrect once with memory.

"But there is a problem now... The resurrection point is guarded..."

Qi Ge glanced at Leng Yu, who was moaning and squirming in the quilt, and felt a chill in his heart.

This female ghost who appeared so early actually has the ability to affect the wealth gift.

"If I find a surrogate doll but don't find Leng Yu's ability, and I think I can be resurrected, but I die again just after being resurrected, I will be scared to death."

Now the question is, how to remove the [Bridegroom Dressed] state?

"Remove makeup!"

Qi Ge tried it, and it was indeed impossible to move his body from the cabinet, but it was not a problem to take off his clothes.

Qi Ge stripped his clothes off without hesitation.

Although it seems a bit perverted for a person wrapped in a quilt to desperately strip a male corpse's clothes, this is Qi Ge's struggle to survive, so it is understandable.

Since Qi Ge couldn't take his body off the bookshelf, he couldn't take off the wedding clothes completely, and could only unbutton the front part along the buttons.

When Qi Ge's body finally returned to being naked, with 18 centimeters excluding the head facing the ceiling, the [Bridegroom Dressed] state disappeared.

"Tsk, it has to be stripped so cleanly... This condition is really harsh...

Here comes the problem. Leng Yu is still in the room. If I strip the corpse of its clothes, she might come and put them on. I have to lure Leng Yu away.

But I can't pay attention to Leng Yu. I will die every time I talk to Leng Yu. What should I do?"

Qi Ge's mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly noticed a detail.

"By the way, Leng Yu seems to have said many times that if I meet other red wedding dresses in a disheveled state, they will be unhappy.

Based on my understanding of women, this situation usually means that if I meet Leng Yu in a disheveled state, Leng Yu herself will be unhappy.

But if the appearance of the substitute doll is disheveled, Leng Yu will most likely come to fix it...

Then we can only think of a way from the underwear!

Underwear..."

Qi Ge looked into the room and saw the pink crotch that Leng Yu had thrown from the quilt to the ground...

"It's you!"

Qi Ge quietly crouched down, tiptoed down from the table, stretched out his hand, and scooped Leng Yu's pink crotch into the quilt.

"So cold...hiss, it feels like silk, but it feels like ice.

Is this the underwear of a female ghost?"

Qi Ge pinched the crotch curiously and put it in front of his nose to smell it.

It's hard for Qi Ge to describe this smell. It's like a mixture of flower fragrance and corpse odor, refreshing and disgusting.

The two strongly contrasting smells, like left and right hooks, constantly hit Qi Ge's nose.

This time, Qi Ge almost fainted.

"Hiss, is the smell of a female ghost so strange? How did Ning Caicheng attack Xiao Qian?"

Qi Ge stuffed the crotch into his chest and climbed back to the top of the bookshelf quietly.

He wrapped the crotch around the waist of his corpse's pants, and then put the complicated wedding dress back on the corpse.

Qi Ge checked and was delighted to find that although the clothes were put back on, the [Groom's Dress] state was not restored.

"Sure enough! That's right, the groom has to take off his clothes, and the groom is called a groom's dress only when he is dressed neatly inside and outside.

The outer clothes have not changed, Leng Yu should not take off the outer clothes to check inside.

This way, the substitute puppet is done."

Qi Ge activated the substitute puppet with satisfaction. He was about to leave when he suddenly realized a problem.

"Hiss~ In this way, after I am resurrected, I will be wearing Leng Yu's underwear!

Then I will become a pervert who wears female ghost underwear?"

Qi Ge changed his mind:

"Forget it, I am a pervert, it doesn't matter, I have even been a mare, and it's okay to wear a sexy pink crotch.

Dignity is not as important as life."

Qi Ge carefully slipped out of the room, but did not go far, but hid in the fountain and peeked at the yellow door.

After a while, Qi Ge saw Leng Yu, with a blushing face, covering her skirt and passing through the door, and ran away.

Seeing this, Qi Ge immediately returned to the bedroom and confirmed the status of the substitute puppet.

"Perfect, Leng Yu really didn't find that the substitute puppet was tampered with by me."

Qi Ge exhaled lightly, left the room, and carefully closed the door.

He turned around and was about to go out along the corridor when a voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"Brother, I'm here to find you!"

"Hiss?! Who's talking?!"

Qi Ge was startled and turned around in the quilt, but there was still no change in the corridor and he found nothing.

"Brother, where are you? I'm in the kitchen."

Qi Ge:?

Qi Ge listened carefully to the voice that seemed to appear out of nowhere in his mind, and was shocked:

"This is definitely not Leng Yu's voice, it's Xin Hong Jia Yi?"

"Brother, aren't you in the kitchen? I came to the fountain garden to find you."

Fountain Garden...

Qi Ge was shocked, and suddenly remembered the hint under the fountain:

Staying in the same room with Mi Zang will lead to death.

"A ghost is looking for me... Could it be that this figure is Mi Zang's voice?

If it is Mi Zang, I will die if I stay in the same room with her.

She is in the fountain garden now, which means I have been blocked by her, and she may come at any time.

The corridor is a one-way street leading to the bedroom. Once she enters the corridor, I will be blocked in the bedroom, and I will die!

I must find a way to leave."

Qi Ge pulled the quilt tight on his body and ran quickly.

He ran to the door and looked outside through the yellow door.

The voice in Qi Ge's mind clearly said that she was in the fountain garden, but outside the fountain garden was silent, and Qi Ge saw nothing.

This made Qi Ge even more panicked: "Invisible ghost... Mi Hide and Seek may be an invisible ghost, that is, it has no physical form.

If you want to know where she is, you can only use her own reporting points in your mind.

This means that I have no way to predict her direction."

Just when Qi Ge realized this, the voice in his mind rang again.

This voice was sweet and playful, like a little girl with honey on her face, but it made Qi Ge's scalp numb and his mind was highly concentrated!

"Brother, aren't you in the fountain garden? I'll lie down"

Crack!

When he heard the word lie down, Qi Ge pinched the time-stopping copper without hesitation!

In an instant, everything around was stopped, and even the leaves blown by the wind stopped in the air.

"Tick...Tick..."

The time-stopping copper in Qi Ge's hand disappeared instantly, and the sound of a clock turning continuously rang in his ears, reminding him that time was running out.

He rushed out of the corridor without hesitation, ran to the fountain garden, and ran towards the passage on the left side of the fountain!

Qi Ge did not enter the fountain.

Because the bedroom corridor fountain garden is a one-way street, Mi Zang must come back after finding the bedroom.

Poseidon has reminded that the fountain is not invincible, and Hong Jiayi has a way to break through the fountain.

If the rule of Mi Zang is really that staying in the same room with her will kill you, the fountain may not be able to save itself.

Qi Ge is not sure whether the fountain has the ability to stop Mi Zang, but he knows that he can't afford to gamble.

He must use this precious time stop to find the next safe point for himself.

The passage on the right side of the fountain is the direction Leng Yu just left.

Leng Yu said that she would take me to see her sisters. There may be other Hong Jiayi in the direction she left. Going there is a trap.

The passage in front of the fountain leads to another separate room. According to Qi Ge's understanding of the nobles of the Elf Empire, it is very likely that it is the kitchen where Mi Zang came out.

The kitchen is also a dangerous area with no other exits, and there is also a risk of being blocked by Mi Zang.

But Mi Zang has already found the kitchen once. There is a saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Maybe she will not go back to the kitchen again.

But if she goes back to the kitchen, she will die. Qi Ge still can't afford to gamble.

Only the passage on the left side of the fountain leads to an open area, with more route options, and it will not collide with Leng Yu's route.

The ticking sound of the clock was still ringing in Qi Ge's ears. He turned the corner suddenly and saw a long row of tree houses at the end of the road.

The doors of these tree houses are hung with red maple leaves, a large piece of red, like blood.

This is... the business district of the Elf Empire!

The Elf Empire also has trade, but their trade has always remained in the primitive barter. Even after the goddess of wealth was deified, they still retained some of the tradition of barter.

In the early Elf Empire, when someone had materials that needed to be traded, they would hang maple leaves at the door.

Later, the business districts of the Elf Empire also retained this tradition.

Qi Ge quickly recalled in his mind that no red wedding dress seemed to be related to business, so this area was very likely to be a temporary safe zone.

Thirty seconds is not short, nor long.

Qi Ge hadn't even finished running the road when the ticking sound stopped abruptly.

"I'm looking for you in the corridor!"

"Huh~" Hearing the voice in his mind, Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

He made the right bet.

"Connecting the voices in my mind before and after the time stop, it's 'Brother, are you not in the fountain garden? I'm looking for you in the bedroom corridor!'.

Mi Zang spoke very fast. If I didn't stop the time, there was no way to leave the corridor room before she finished speaking."

The elf business district in front was in front of him, but Qi Ge was not in a hurry to go in. He found a place to sit down, recovering his strength while counting silently in his mind.

"One, two, three, four, five..."

"Brother, you are not in the bedroom corridor, I'm looking for you in the bedroom."

Ten seconds...

"One, two, three, four, five..."

"Brother, you are not in the bedroom, I'm looking for you in the bedroom corridor."

Another ten seconds!

"One, two, three, four, five..."

"Brother, you are not in the bedroom corridor, I'm looking for you in the fountain garden."

Still ten seconds.

"Confirmed, Mi Zang moves once every ten seconds.

This is an invisible ghost that cannot be seen or touched, moves regardless of distance, and is fixed in each room for ten seconds.

This means that I must keep an eye on Mi Zang's movements while taking action.

"Brother, you are not in the fountain garden. I will go to the kitchen to find you!"

"Hiss~~" When the new voice sounded, Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Fortunately, I did not follow the saying 'the most dangerous place is the safest place' and hide in the kitchen where Mi Zang had found, otherwise I would be dead now.

Leng Yu will lie, and Mi Zang will of course look for the place he has found again.

The red wedding dress in this treasure house does not follow the routine at all.

It is too dangerous. This treasure house is really too dangerous. It is murderous at every step. No wonder all the messages are so short except the last one.

It is really easy to die.

There is no time to waste. I must find more life-saving props as soon as possible. In the last hour, the difficulty will increase greatly."

Qi Ge stood up, wrapped in a quilt, and walked into the trading area.

He walked carefully along the wall of the tree house and observed the surrounding tree houses.

Under the shining of the red moon, these houses revealed a strange blood color.

Qi Ge looked into the tree houses from the window. There was no one in these tree houses, but after walking around, he found that there were wooden signs hanging on the doors of the tree houses.

During this process, Qi Ge kept memorizing the various place names that Mi Zang told him in his mind.

While Mi Zang seemed to be far away from the fountain garden, Qi Ge hurriedly climbed up the giant tree and approached the wooden signs in front of the tree houses one by one to observe. He found that these wooden signs were all written with words:

[Exchange a bright red heart for a disguised groom's suit. ]

[Exchange an eye that does not shed tears for Mi Zang to stop moving for one hour. ]

[Exchange a slender thigh for a map. ]

…

[Exchange an arrogant head for an immortal seal. ]

"Hiss...what is this."

Standing in front of the door of the last tree house, Qi Ge had a headache.

"I exchanged my thighs for the map. I can't run without my legs. If I run into a ghost that I need to escape from, I can only wait for death.

There are also people who exchanged their heads. If I exchange my head, I will die, right?"

Qi Ge pushed the door and turned the doorknob, but couldn't open it.

Just when he wanted to try to climb in through the window.

"Well, wait a minute..."

Qi Ge suddenly realized a problem.

"Use fingers, use heads... It doesn't say that I must use mine, can I use Hong Jiayi's?

There are a total of 26 exchange items, and one cold jade can be exchanged for almost 20.

Damn, I don't have any means to kill Hong Jiayi now.

No, that's not right, there may be no means to kill Hong Jiayi, otherwise the last self would have reminded me.

Hmm? The last one didn't remind me...

The last one I lived to the last hour, it's impossible that I didn't explore here.

But he didn't mention any information about this place... Why?

No mention, no mention...Silence is also a sound, not mentioning is a hint in itself!

Perhaps, I shouldn't make any exchanges here at all."

In just a dozen seconds, Qi Ge's mind quickly turned several thoughts.

He glanced around and had a vague bad premonition in his heart.

"The gifts from the goddess of wealth are all free. My wealth cannot allow me to exchange my body for gifts.

This is not a gift from the goddess of wealth, but rather a trap set by Chaos.

If it is a trap set by Chaos, what does Chaos want me to do?

Let me exchange my thighs and head for props? Am I that stupid?

Could it be that Chaos wants to guide me and let me exchange the body parts of the Red Wedding Dresses?

Eyeballs that don't cry... Stone Heart is a statue, and statues don't cry.

..."

Qi Ge thought carefully and found another detail:

"I remember Leng Lan said before that Night Demon prepared a bloody heart, Blood Shadow prepared an endless head, and Stone Heart found eyes that couldn't be closed...

It sounds similar to the weird demands here. Could it be that what they are preparing to feed me is themselves?

Or, I have exchanged things before, so the things appeared in their hands?

But if I have exchanged things before, why didn't I leave any information about this market?"

Qi Ge felt more and more weird the more he thought about it. He took a deep look at the wooden house here.

At this moment, the red maple leaves hanging on the wooden house seemed to have turned into bloody organs, which made him shudder.

Just then, Qi Ge's ears moved and he heard the voice of Mi Zang.

"Brother, you are not in the fountain garden. I came to the market road to find you."

Mi Zang is coming!
