Ren Yi has been on the boat for nearly half an hour.
After the mission "The Girl Returns to the Sedan Chair" started, everyone separated. The people on Yu Xing's side fled back to Yizhuang from the bank of the Yejiang River, and then stepped into the backyard gate. It had been almost an hour, and most of the time was spent on the Yejiang River.
The straight road from Jiang to Yizhuang.
Zhao Yijiu had only activated the talisman for about ten minutes, and his movements were already stagnant, but Ren Yi had endured it for so long, and even doubled the talisman...
Yu Xing watched Zhao Mou help Ren Yi up, and it was strange - Ren Yi looked like a puppet who had just learned his limbs and body.
He lowered his head and allowed Zhao Mou to support his body. After a moment of delay, he stood up on his own.
This situation is not good.
Yu Xing didn't think that Ren Yi was the kind of person who would let himself bear the harm to his soul, especially when he was the only person present who belonged to the institute.
It's a bit strange. Maybe Ren Yi is trying some other research?
He remembered that Ren Yi's ability was closely related to blood, and even he was called "Blood Pen". Is it possible that Ren Yi deliberately contracted the spell so that his blood could "learn" some secrets from it?
Yu Xing wanted to observe Ren Yi's expression, but then remembered that this guy had facial paralysis.
"……"never mind.
After Ren Yi looked better, Zhao Mou asked: "How do you feel now? Do you need me to take your pulse?"
Doctors are irresponsible.
Ren Yi opened his mouth, and it took two seconds for his voice to come out from his throat: "I don't know... It's like... my soul and body are no longer fused. I feel like I've lost control now... It's very uncomfortable."
Everyone understood instantly.
Is it the feeling that the soul is separated from the container, and the nerves are dull? The commands given by the brain cannot be transmitted to the body?
If the soul "consecration" to the talisman is not stopped in time, the next step is probably that the soul will leave the body and eventually dissipate directly. Although this is just a guess, it may not be applicable to the setting of every deduction.
But in the deduction related to shadow puppetry, it is definitely a terrible thing to let the soul leave the body and leave only an empty shell——
Empty shells are the easiest items to manipulate.
"How can we recover from this situation?" Song Xue murmured to herself, but smart people here can basically conclude that here, at least in this "story world", there should be no way to recover.
Something to recover from.
Obviously, compared to those who were physically and mentally exhausted in the uprising, the few people on the boat at this time had to think more deeply from the beginning and realized the falseness of the current world earlier.
Since they could not speak out these speculations directly, they maintained a tacit understanding of silence and looked for opportunities.
"We have to leave here quickly." Song Xue whispered.
She was not talking about Ye Jiang, but the current world.
The manipulators behind the story are obviously intensifying their aggression against them. If they can't find a way out of here before the "annihilation" ending comes, they will really die as a joke.
"What should we do now?" Quinn asked Song Xue for her opinion, and then was warned by the system because it didn't fit the personality.
He rolled his eyes silently and turned to Zhao Mou: "Doctor, what should I do now?"
The heavy rain is still pouring down.
Although the ship will not capsize for the time being, the falling rain outside the boat and the surging river water carrying the ship still pose threats at all times. The hair of the water ghosts almost forms an airtight net, making the entire river surface look like
Huge looms weave them together.
If this continues, they can only hold on for about an hour - the latest time limit is two hours, and then they will lose the mobility of Quinn and Zhao Zhan who are activating the spell, just like Ren Yi now.
"Can the young master, I mean the one holding the last talisman, come here within two hours?" Nie Lang crossed his arms across his chest. He didn't really trust Luo Yan's speed, even if the other party was really very fast.
There is a sense of responsibility, but what if something happens on the other side?
Once Luo Yan chooses to stay there, won't it mean that the four talismans will never be able to gather together to suppress the river? Then they will all die here.
Yejiang can afford to wait, but they cannot.
"It's too early to say that. That young master may not have the talisman in his hand." Yu Xing felt that it was necessary to vaccinate everyone.
Because... based on his little understanding of Luo Yan, if Luo Yan really possessed a talisman, he would definitely have a premonition that he would need to gather four talismans in the near future.
In this case, the other party would not give him any hint when he went to the backyard, causing the current situation.
Of course, this is just a guess. Apart from the information provided by Zhao Mou including his abilities, acting style, sacrifices, etc., he doesn't really understand... the current Luo Yan's deep character.
"This young master whom I have never met before makes sense." Zhao Mou nodded slightly, as if he had the same idea, "So we have to be prepared with both hands."
"First, wait here for the arrival of the young merchant, and be prepared not to wait."
"Second, assuming the talisman is not on that person, we have to think in advance about other possibilities for where the talisman is."
After discussing for a while, everyone dispersed.
Several of them walked outside the boat, faced the heavy rain, and stared in the direction of the port, planning to think while waiting for a ship that might arrive.
Yu Xing and Zhao Mou walked to the corner of the boat.
"This...doctor? I heard others call you that, so you are really a doctor?"
"Of course, if we were in some other safe place, I would really like to see all the injuries on your body." Zhao Mou's fox eyes narrowed, "What about you? Why haven't I seen you in Yizhuang?"
"This is not something that requires attention. In short, we are now a grasshopper on a rope." Yu Xing spread his hands, "You are very calm. Can I understand that you have some other ideas about our current situation?"
"Ah, there are some." Zhao Mou said, "First of all, the talisman is probably not in the hands of the young master, so waiting is in vain."
"I didn't say that directly because I was afraid that some people would be even more upset after hearing it." Nie Lang was named here.
"Secondly, the talisman is either in the hands of that insidious old man, but this is unlikely. According to my speculation...if the old man had the talisman, he would not be so afraid of the water and only do small actions on the shore." Zhao Mou finally managed.
When I met him and had such a reasonable opportunity to exchange information, I directly directed my existing speculations towards Yu Xing.
"Either underwater, I prefer this. I'm afraid we have to go into the water to find... As for how to find a charm in the vast river, look at the person behind you."
Fortunately, Yu turned around.
As soon as he moved his gaze, he met a pair of resentful eyes.
The Siren sat directly on the ground, raised one hand, and the bright red sleeves, which were especially heavy due to moisture, naturally fell down, forming an extremely dazzling contrast with his white arms.
Her expression was more resentful than her tone, almost like a bridal water ghost: "Have you finally noticed me?"
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows at her.
"If we really want to go into the water, I'm afraid we have to rely on her to guide the way. In other words, Ye Jiang's bride must go down, even if it brings more terrifying appetite and ability to Ye Jiang." Zhao Mou curled his lips, "Opportunities and ways to break the situation.
Always appearing in the most dangerous places, more urgent and dramatic, what do you think?"
