Chapter 120: Acting Showdown

Chi family guy?

Jiang Luo said thoughtfully, "After dinner, I want to go to Yi Zhuang to have a look."

Chi You's fingers gave a lurch as she picked up the ravioli, "Good."

After an incense burnt, the two people walked quickly towards the righteous village.

The village was built in a remote area of the city, a place where the people of Bujiu City jointly financed the construction of a place to temporarily store the dead bodies. It was a lonely courtyard in the middle of the wilderness, with a broken wooden door and walls covered with white mud. It was already evening, and under the dim sky, the righteous village looked even more haunted.

Jiang Luo and Chi You walked in without changing their color. The Village is divided into two parts, one is the courtyard after entering the gate, in which more than twenty black wooden coffins are stored. The second is the short room in the courtyard, where the newly deceased are kept.

Jiang Luo looked at the coffins in the courtyard and Chi You explained, "These are all people who have died in recent days, so the coffins will be placed here temporarily, waiting for a good day to be buried together."

Jiang Luo asked, "Are there no guards in the righteous village?"

"There's an old man, surnamed Xu, we call him Old Man Xu," Chi You led the way to the inner door, "He's eccentric, he should be dozing off in the side room after drinking. We'll just go in and out on our own."

When he finished, he pushed the door open.

"With a creak, the heavy old wooden door was pushed open. The stench of corpses from inside the house came over. Chi You covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, and also covered the hidden smile at the corner of her mouth, "Young Master Jiang, come in."

There were only two kerosene lamps in the room. In the center of the kerosene lamps were two beds on which lay two corpses covered with white cloths, the tops of which were bloodstained.

Jiang Luo also covered his nose, he picked up a kerosene lamp near one of the bodies, lifting the white cloth when the pupils violently tightened, "...... paragraph?"

On the bed, Duanzi's face was pale, his eyes were wide open, his lips were purple, and his head was even broken from his neck, his appearance was miserable.

Dead people ...... are segments?

How is that possible?

Yesterday they were discussing how to catch the evil spirit together, and today they're dead?

Jiang Luo let out a mouthful of turbid breath, disbelief was pushed down, but he still felt unbelievable. He put the kerosene lamp aside and lifted the white cloth all the way off, Duanzi not only had his head cut off, but his limbs were not on his torso, but were pieced together into a human form.

Chi You stood and watched as if he was looking at a cloud of air, and suddenly sighed, "What a pitiful death."

Jiang Luo frowned.

He went to another bed and lifted the white cloth violently. This bed also lies a dead man, the dead man's hair is dirty, clothes are tattered, the body stinks, is a beggar. His death is very similar to Duanzi, the head was also cut off and put aside, but there is no Duanzi like five horses, at least his arms and legs are still on the body. Beggar's expression and Duanzi the same, all with the meaning of fear that has not dissipated.

Like being scared to death alive.

Jiang Luo threw the white cloth on the ground, staring at the body. Soon, he saw a black mist on the body, black mist wrapped around the neck of the deceased, refused to leave, this thing is extremely familiar, Jiang Luo had seen in the 129 hotel owner's wife.

Without hesitation, he reached out his hand and touched the black mist. The black mist wrapped around his arm, and in an instant, Jiang Luo seemed to have entered a blurred dream in which he did not know what was going on. He saw the last memory of the deceased before his death, and felt his extreme fear and cardiac arrest.

On the dark and damp street, the beggar was counting the coins he had begged for today. A shadow slowly draped over the beggar's head, and the beggar sluggishly raised his head to see a ghostly figure standing in front of him with a bloody machete, raising the cold, piercing blade toward him.

The beggar's heart stopped and he screamed out violently, and in the next moment, severe pain came from his neck and he lost consciousness.

Jiang Luo's eyes snapped open and he gasped for air.

The deathly fear of having his heart clutched in the illusion gradually faded, and Jiang Luo slowly calmed down, realizing that he was being held at the waist by Chi You.

Chi You said, "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Luo shook his head, and Chi You released him, looking thoughtfully at his slightly pale complexion.

Jiang Luo is thinking about the last image he saw before his "death".

A ghostly shadow clad in black robes held up a knife, covered from head to toe in black robes, and it was not clear what it looked like or what its gender was. The speed of the other party is very fast, the hand is clean and sharp, and the breath is weird, it really looks like a ghost, but ...... it is not impossible for people to do it.

Jiang Luo understood what was wanted, he resettled the beggar and looked back at the segment.

Duanzi is still a college student, and is only in his early twenties this year. Jiang Luo closed Duanzi's eyes and gave them a meditation on the sutra of the past life.

But as he read, he suddenly remembered that it wasn't right, how come no black mist appeared on Duanzi's body?

Jiang Luo opened his eyes and looked around Duanzi's body, but he didn't find any black mist. Jiang Luo does not know much about the black fog, he can not determine at this time, is not everyone will appear black fog after death, or Duanzi did not really die.

Jiang Luo guessed that the black mist was something born from the soul aspect, carrying the memories and emotions of the dead before they died. Their party entered the world of mirrors, not with their physical bodies, and it's likely that just because Duan Zi died here doesn't mean he actually died.

Jiang Luo withdrew his hand, and the segment was closed over his eyes. He looked back and met Chi You's eyes exactly.

Jiang Luo's defenses popped up at the look, but he smiled, "What's wrong?"

"You seem to be interested in their deaths." Chi You said.

Jiang Luo grunted and said meaningfully, "I'm interested in your family as well."

While talking, the loud sound of coffins being knocked open suddenly rang out in the yard. Jiang Luo looked out of the window and saw that all the coffins in the courtyard had their lids ripped open, and the bodies had swindled.

A body from the coffin sat up, their faces green and white, fangs protruding outside the spring, about to reach the position of the chin, nails black sharp, has been turned into a zombie corpse appearance.

Jiang Luo frowned, then stretched.

The world of the mirror is so gloomy that anything can happen.

The zombies put up their arms and twisted their heads neatly to look into the room, their eyes without whites shuddering to see. They suddenly jumped out of their coffins and leapt in unison towards the short room.

Jiang Luo turned to look as the two bodies on the bed began to move as well. But they were in tatters, and their arms and heads rolled off the bed in a single motion, making them much less threatening. Jiang Luo remembered that Chi You was still there, he took a step back and stood behind Chi You, pretending to be anxious, "Young Master Chi, what should we do?"

Chi You looked at the rapidly approaching zombies outside and said with the same difficulty, "Young Master Jiang, I'm not very good at my craft, it's fine to deal with just one or two, but it's really difficult to deal with so many."

Jiang Luo almost laughed out loud.

Just a few zombies, and you're having a hard time?

It's so full of shit, just because people don't know.

He followed Chi You's words down the line, "Then what do we do! Young Master Chi, do something or we'll all die here!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the beggar's headless body had already jumped off the bed, turned around and aimed at them, jumping closer towards Jiang Luo and Chi You step by step.

Chi You protected Jiang Luo and retreated to the corner, fighting back and forth, in an incomparable mess. Before the headless corpses could retreat, the door of the room was slammed open, and the zombies in the courtyard swarmed in.

Chi You looked grave, "Young Master Jiang, it's not good, we're in danger."

Jiang Luo was expressionless behind him, "What should I do then? Young Master Chi, I really don't want to die."

Chi You looked around the room and suddenly pulled Jiang Luo back a few steps to the closet in the corner. He opened the closet, took Jiang Luo inside, and closed the door behind him. There was a gap in the closet door for air, and from the dark and light intervals, they could see the zombies getting closer and closer.

Chi You warned from behind Jiang Luo, "Hold your breath."

Jiang Luo stopped breathing.

The zombies on the outside of the cabinet door lost their target, and they slowly turned their heads. Sharp nails flashed with a cold light, and a poke was feared to be a bloody hole.

Jiang Luo stood in front of Chi You, relying on the fact that Chi You couldn't see his expression, his face as black as ink.

As a professional, of course, he understands the zombie information. There are two types of zombies, one is "newly dead but not converged", and the other is "long buried but not decayed", these zombies obviously belong to the first type, and their ability will not be very strong. Jiang Luo did not believe that Chi You could not defeat these zombies.

He's playing weak.

Even if he pretends to be weak, he even took Jiang Luo and hid in the closet at his own peril.

If a person doesn't breathe, there will be no leakage of yang energy, and he won't be discovered by the zombies. Even if one really couldn't fight, the best way should be to take advantage of the time to hold one's breath to blend in with the zombies and escape from the righteous village. But now what? It looks like Chi You has protected Jiang Luo, giving them temporary safety. But how long can one hold one's breath? Instead, they are imprisoned in the zombie horde, and once they can't hold their breath, they will be surrounded by all the zombies.

It's like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. Can't Chi You figure out such a stupid way?

There's no way he couldn't figure it out, but that's what he did.

This is clearly intentional, 100% to test Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo was about to be exasperated and laughed, he suddenly put away his angry face, instead, he wordlessly picked his lips and laughed.

So true, Chi You.

Both later and now, it's so bad, so bad that it deserves a beating.

Jiang Luo looked at the zombie and thought, Well, let's see who can out-fake who.

Since you're planning to play weak, I'm sorry for dragging you down as an even weaker person.

The zombie outside let out an instinctively warbling low growl, long pointed teeth protruding from his lips, and the tip of his nose shrugged as he kept sniffing the air between them.

Chi You was idly looking at the zombies outside when his left hand was suddenly ripped away by the person in front of him. He looked along, and Young Master Jiang had his head lowered, writing word for word on his hand, "What should we do next?"

An itch loomed where his fingertips had scratched. Chi You smiled soothingly at him and reached out, returning slowly over Jiang Luo's hand, "What do you have in mind?"

Little brat. I'm sure it was intentional.

What could he possibly think? He's just an ordinary guy.

Jiang Luo let out a chuckle in his heart, aroused by Chi You's look of victory and defeat.

You were so deep in your mind when you were a teenager, I couldn't help you when you grew up, and I can't help you now?

Jiang Luo shook his head, helpless, "I don't know."

Chi You pondered, his brow furrowed, he also looked at Jiang Luo helplessly and guiltily.

The closet was so small that it barely fit the two of them. Even as a teenager, Chi You was already taller than Jiang Luo, although he looked thin and frail.

He lowered his head slightly and looked at Young Master Jiang who was standing in front of him.

Jiang Luo's face was already red.

Perhaps because of the heat in the closet, or perhaps because of the zombie horde outside. Jiang Luo's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, sticking his black hair to the corners of his temples, and it was obvious that he was on the verge of suffocation.

Sure enough, the next second, Jiang Luo hurriedly wrote in Chi You's hand, "I'm out of breath."

Chi You pretended not to understand as he hid his smile and stared back in slight confusion.

Compared to Jiang Luo, his demeanor had not changed a bit, as if his breath had never been consumed.

The man he was playing with in the palm of his hand became even more anxious, even as his face turned a reddish color from lack of oxygen. Again he wrote hurriedly, "I'm going to run out of air."

Chi You came to a realization.

But he didn't know what to do and could only look at Jiang Luo with love and helplessness.

Seeing that he did not move, Jiang Luo became a bit anxious. He came close to Chi You and seemed to want to say something in Chi You's ear.

The black hair swept over Chi You's ear, and a light scent hit him. When Chi You was slightly stunned, a breeze suddenly blew on his ear.

"Boom..."

The next moment, a zombie's sharp claw pierced through the closet and viciously grazed past Chi You's ear, plunging into the wall.

The black hair around Chi You's ear was cut off. Chi You looked at the hand that had almost passed through his head, and Yu Guang looked at Jiang Luo.

Young Master Jiang's eyes were anxious and genuine. He looked at Chi You with worry, and the heavy apology on his face could no longer harden his heart, as if the breath by Chi You's ear, which had just led to the trouble, was entirely his unintentional mistake.

He did it on purpose.

Chi You is in the heart and soul of the Word.

The zombie's iron arm crossed between the two of them, the closet was completely destroyed, but the corner of Chi You's lips turned higher and higher.

This one sure is interesting, he thought almost pleasurably.

At that moment, Chi You felt a tug on her sleeve.

He returned to his senses, and the slightly nervous smile at the corner of his mouth turned into a reliably gentle grin as he looked tenderly at Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo pointed outside, signaling to leave now.

Chi You nodded.

The two made their way out of the closet silently, trying not to run into any zombies as they approached the door. But the zombies were blocking the door out.

Chi You saw Duanzi's head rolling to the ground among the zombie horde, he kicked the head to the corner, the sound attracted the zombies, and the horde of zombies blocking the door abruptly rushed towards the corner.

Jiang Luo and Chi You took the opportunity to run out of the door and fled towards the gate of Yi Zhuang.

Jiang Luo was about to run to the gate, just one more step to get out. Jiang Luo was about to take the last step when Chi You suddenly jumped over and hugged him, rolling him twice on the ground.

The two men finally stopped, and Jiang Luo's spine ached from the gravel.

It was definitely revenge, and Jiang Luo opened his eyes as he heard Chi You ask in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Chi You was pressed against his body, his face losing its color. There was a scratch on his neck from which blood dripped onto Jiang Luo's body.

Jiang Luo froze and looked strangely at the wound on his neck, Chi You said comfortingly, "It's alright, just a small wound. Don't worry, it's good that you're not hurt."

"......" Jiang Luo goosebumps rose as if he had swallowed a fly, "I can't thank you enough."

Chi You got up and pulled Jiang Luo up. Jiang Luo then saw what attacked Chi You, there was a zombie in the coffin in the courtyard, which suddenly rose up and pounced on them, at the critical moment, Chi You protected Jiang Luo.

Chi You didn't waste any more time and didn't bother to kill the zombie that hurt him, so he just dragged Jiang Luo and ran out, "Quickly go."

Jiang Luo looked back, Chi You hadn't even closed the gate of the Yi Zhuang.

Oh, maybe Chi You didn't even think of "closing".

The details show the nature of Chi You, who doesn't care if these zombies run out and hurt people because he is cold-blooded and doesn't have any thoughts of stopping them.

Even if you pretend to be normal, you can't pretend to be normal.

Jiang Luo withdrew his gaze, looked at the scar on Chi You's neck, and hissed inwardly.

This freak is doing drama to the point of hurting himself, I'm afraid he has a bigger scheme waiting for Jiang Luo.

Then Jiang Luo's curiosity and desire to win was completely hooked up, since Chi You want to act, then Jiang Luo will be accompanied to the end. Jiang Luo's level of acting is not worse than Chi You's. His face changed, "The wound on your neck ......", and after a long time of hesitation, he sadly said, "I'm sorry, it's all because I've dragged you down. "

Chi You shook her head, "You're my friend, how could I stand by and watch you get hurt?"

These words ...... are simply more frightening than direct threats. It's as if a viper opens its fangs and saliva drips hungrily onto Jiang Luo, and it still has to say to Jiang Luo, "I'm holding you in my mouth to protect you, and I definitely won't eat you."

Jiang Luo's expression almost twisted without holding back.

"But ......" Chi You suddenly sighed as he coughed lowly, "zombie bites can have some bad consequences."

Jiang Luo knows, but he pretends not to, "What consequences?"

Chi You : "If I don't take care of the wound soon, the corpse poison will invade from the wound and turn me into a zombie too."

Jiang Luo was frantic, "What should we do!"

"Don't worry," Chi You said softly, "When we get back to the mansion, we'll just take some glutinous rice to wash away the corpse poison. But this wound is too obvious, experienced people know that it is injured by the vampire's nails. Later on I have to go to meet the elders, if they see it, I'm afraid it will cause a commotion and cause trouble in vain."

Jiang Luo already knows what he's going to do, and I'm afraid Chi You's next line will be to ask Jiang Luo to help him deal with the elders.

But Jiang Luo did not want to meet the stinking elders of the Chi family at all. Just as he doesn't want to see the Chi family, Jiang Luo doesn't have the patience to deal with the Chi family either outside or inside the mirror.

Moreover, if he stepped in to help Chi You, he would only be helping Chi You to pull away the hate value of those Chi family elders. Not to mention other things, he was satisfied with his state of being ignored by the Chi family people, once he was involved because of Chi You, that would be called trouble.

Therefore, he advanced before Chi You's next sentence could be uttered, "I have a way to keep your wounds from being seen."

Chi You paused and asked with interest, "What solution?"

Jiang Luo's bad smile flickered at the corner of his mouth, pulling Chi You into an alley.

*

Chi You was pressed against the wall by Jiang Luo, he looked down at this Young Master Jiang who kept surprising him and surprising him, and smiled, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Luo didn't say anything, but waved his hand toward Chi You, "Lower your head and let me see your wound."

Chi You complies, bowing her head and placing her neck under Jiang Luo's eyelids.

The aorta was pulsing, and if you weren't careful, you could lose your life if you weren't careful. Chi You seems not to be worried, he is very frank, as if behind his frankness is his trust in Jiang Luo.

But Jiang Luo noticed that underneath his clothes, the young man had tensed up imperceptibly.

Jiang Luo has no doubt that if he made any move that threatened Chi You's life, Chi You would take his life in an instant.

Jiang Luo let out a "tsk" and took a closer look at the wound on Chi You's neck.

Chi You's wound was so perfunctory that only a few drops of blood flowed out hastily and then began to dry up, which was probably the most he was willing to act to deceive Jiang Luo.

Injured to this point, the wound was already slightly blackened and the cortex stiffened, and the necrotic poison had already begun to take effect.

He poked the wound and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Chi You's smile remains unchanged, "It doesn't hurt."

After a moment's thought, he added, "There's nothing else left to feel."

"Then we have to go back to the mansion as soon as possible to solve the corpse poison," although it was an act, this wound was really for Jiang Luo, Jiang Luo was not so bad as to purposely mess up Chi You in this regard, "this wound is not deep, although it is a nail mark, but on the other hand, it is also very good to imitate."

Chi You raises an eyebrow, "Huh?"

Jiang Luo raised his hand to Chi You's neck, mimicking the nail marks, the nails scratching Chi You's skin.

Chi You didn't know what Jiang Luo was going to do, but he stayed put and let him do it.

Jiang Luo dug out a few bloody marks on Chi You's neck, stepped back and looked at them, but they were still somewhat insufficient. The zombie's fingerprints still stood out amongst them, and after some thought, he stepped forward again and pinched out a few bruises on Chi You's neck.

This made the bloodstains look a little more ambiguous.

It's just that such traces can only fool people who haven't had fish and water, as for those elders of the Chi family, Jiang Luo really didn't think that they could necessarily be fooled. Compulsive disorder forced him to not allow himself to be seen to be broken, Jiang Luo frowned, "Young Master Chi, you have to remember that everything I did was to allow us to get away with it."

Chi You, vaguely curious about what he wanted, affirmed, "Naturally."

Since he agreed, Jiang Luo let it go.

With a twinkle in his eye, he pressed down on Chi You's neck and deliberately pressed against the knot of his throat, sucking out a hickey as he did so.

Every move is as clean and simple as if you just want to help Chi You.

The moment the soft lips lightly touched the skin, Chi You completely froze in place. He had his hands behind his back, slightly bent at the waist, looking very relaxed.

But at the moment, the teenager's wanderlust was crushed into pieces.

A tickle rose from the throat, Chi You's throat rolled involuntarily, adding a little dryness to the alley.

Soon, and for what seems like an eternity, Chi You's neck cover-up is done.

Jiang Luo takes a step back and wipes his lips, the zombie fingerprints having been perfectly concealed underneath them.

"Come on," he said with satisfaction, "we can go back."

He turned toward the outside, but his wrist was suddenly tugged, Jiang Luo turned back, Chi You with a smile, his eyes fixed on his neck, "I think you should add a few to your neck ...... as well."
