Wanqi Siling
Chapter 13 Lu Xiaoyao's Mentality is Always Collapsing
Watching Lu Xiaoyao listen to the villain's deceptive words, a sweet smile suddenly bloomed on her face. Everyone felt that something was wrong and subconsciously reached out to stop her.
"Wait!"
"Don't!"
Too late to stop her, everyone watched as Lu Xiaoyao folded the last talisman in her hand on top of the marriage contract. In an instant, the contract and talisman connected and burst into flames. In the horrified eyes of everyone, the marriage contract was destroyed...
"No—!!"
As the marriage contract burned, the power that had seemed to separate the inside and outside of the ancestral hall suddenly disappeared. Those "people" who had been crowding outside the ancestral hall with ferocious expressions suddenly burst into flames for some reason, and they rushed in with shrill cries.
"Ah! Mommy!"
The moment the marriage contract was destroyed, Lu Xiaoyao immediately regained consciousness. She lowered her head and saw the wedding dress on her body crumbling and falling off bit by bit, and breathed a sigh of relief. But when she looked up, she saw Bai's mother, who had been kind and benevolent to her during the day, contorted with a twisted face, dragging half of her body that was being burned by flames as she pounced towards her!
Lu Xiaoyao took two steps back and was grabbed by the ankle by Bai's mother, whose whole body was on fire and who had lunged at her feet.
"How dare you?!"
Bai's mother, with a ferocious expression, lay at her feet and questioned her miserably, thinking that she would scare Lu Xiaoyao half to death, but—
"Why wouldn't I dare! Ahhhhh! Help me, help me! Don't come over here!!"
All that could be said was that the will to survive was a good thing.
The visual impact and psychological fear were completely inferior to the deepest desire to survive in her heart.
Right now, Lu Xiaoyao didn't have any self-defense props in her hand, but she dared to directly slap the hand that wanted to grab her skirt and climb up from below.
For a moment, Mingmei seemed to see after the speed of her slapping hands left afterimages.
She just slapped Bai's mother, who wanted to get up, back on the ground again!
Finally, Lu Xiaoyao once again showed the ultimate move she had when she first met Mingmei—bouncing in place!
Bouncing towards Bai's mother's face!
While bouncing, she closed her eyes and kept screaming, looking like a shaman performing a ritual.
Under the stunned gazes of her teammates and tens of millions of viewers, Lu Xiaoyao's solo "exorcism" scene can be described as "soul-stirring"!
"Let's go!"
More and more paper figures rushed in with flames. Bai Xiao and the others seized the opportunity and hurriedly pulled Lu Xiaoyao, who could no longer jump and had directly stomped Bai's mother, who was neither human nor ghost, flat, and ran outside. Lu Xiaoyao, who was being dragged out, did not forget to look back.
Young Master Zhang was still standing in the shadows of the ancestral hall's eaves in his green shirt, his eyes always on the merchant lady in the light green dress beside him.
The merchant lady looked at the direction she was leaving without any expression. Even if she didn't notice the eyes of the person beside her, it didn't prevent Lu Xiaoyao from feeling from the bottom of her heart that the two of them standing together were particularly well-matched.
"Let's go too." Young Master Zhang looked back at the raging fire in the ancestral hall, and then at Mingmei, who hadn't moved from beginning to end. "There's still the last plot point to go through."
"There's still a plot point?"
Mingmei was stunned and looked at the direction the players had run off to, wondering if they didn't just have to escape?
Mingmei soon knew what Young Master Zhang's so-called last plot point was.
Just as Lu Xiaoyao and the others rushed out of the Zhang residence, the male player who had always been very timid suddenly turned against them. He didn't know when he had gotten a memorial tablet, but he took it out and smashed it directly at Bai Xiao and Hu Yue's heads. As the two women fell to the ground, the sudden reversal also frightened Lu Xiaoyao out of her wits.
"Are you crazy!"
Lu Xiaoyao's face was pale, and she stared at the male player in disbelief.
"I'm not crazy."
The always honest and cowardly male player straightened his body instantly. The rain had stopped long ago when everyone was surrounding the ancestral hall. At this moment, the moon, which had reappeared from the dark clouds, shone coldly on him.
Lu Xiaoyao watched as he raised his head, his eyes staring at her coldly, a very smug smile on his lips. For a moment, her whole body couldn't help but tremble.
"Y-y-y-you... w-why?"
"Because I want to clear the game."
The man, who had previously appeared to be as weak as a chicken, now lifted a woman in each hand, carrying Bai Xiao and Hu Yue on his shoulders. He left Lu Xiaoyao where she was, and without looking back, he walked towards the Zhang residence once again with firm steps.
He didn't seem to be afraid that Lu Xiaoyao would dare to attack him at all.
"Hey! You...!"
Lu Xiaoyao stood where she was. A gust of cool wind blew through the empty street. After hesitating for a long time, Lu Xiaoyao, who didn't dare to follow, couldn't help but shudder again.
Right now, she looked at her system panel, which still showed "Escape Baishui Town," and also had a map showing her the location of a boat.
As long as she walked in that direction now, she could clear the game.
But if she cleared the game, what about those three players?
For a moment, Lu Xiaoyao hesitated.
The game wasn't afraid of not being cleared, it was afraid of having no twists and turns!
As a streamer, Lu Xiaoyao knew this very well. She could even guess that the audience in the comments section must be scratching their heads over the reversal just now!
Even if she didn't look at the comments, she understood that some people must want her to follow!
"Dear viewers, parents, next... I'm, I'm going to explore the truth of the matter. I might, might not be able to clear the game. You all can testify for me here. I really was about to clear the game, but now, now I'm going to take a risk for the truth of the story!"
[Our daughter has grown up! Even I, the old father, have a gossip-loving heart!]
[If my daughter doesn't clear the game today, I'll be the first to not let anyone who mocks her off!]
[Count me in!]
[Add a hundred million!]
[Daughter, go on without any hesitation!]
……
While Mingmei was standing in the hall of the Zhang residence in a daze, she saw Lu Xiaoyao's actions through the background livestream. She didn't know if it was influenced by the comments, but Mingmei actually felt a sense of relief like, "My daughter has finally come of age."
She's finally not afraid of death?
Should she applaud?
The moment Yuan Fang, carrying two former teammates, stepped into the Zhang residence again, the clothes on Hu Yue and Bai Xiao's bodies also changed instantly, the color of their clothes turning into a bright fiery red, just like Lu Xiaoyao before. At this moment, the two of them had become brides.
Mingmei looked at Young Master Zhang, who was sitting in a chair but whose clothes hadn't changed at all. Seeing him looking at Yuan Fang with a smile that wasn't a smile, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Have you thought it over?"
"I've thought it over."
The timid and cowardly expression from before had long disappeared without a trace. The current Yuan Fang was confident and flamboyant, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Young Master Zhang. As Young Master Zhang nodded, the player's outfit was also instantly changed, and he put on a red groom's outfit.
Mingmei, who was sitting on the side, was stunned by this scene. This escape game actually had the damn feeling of a dress-up game!
Lu Xiaoyao, who had finally managed to peek over the wall, was also in a state of utter confusion!
"I'm going, dear viewers, can anyone give me a brain? What's going on with this plot, I don't understand it!"
Lu Xiaoyao clenched her jaw, trying hard to stretch her head out to hear the voices of the people inside. Her arms were tightly clinging to the top of the wall, and her little feet were constantly making rustling sounds against the wall because she couldn't find a foothold.
She was anxious!
Why did her good teammates turn out like this?
However, the mouths of the people inside were opening and closing, but they were too far away, she couldn't hear them at all!
Damn it! She didn't have any advantages in terms of timing or location, and she didn't even have a place to brace her feet!
After busying herself for a long time, Lu Xiaoyao suddenly felt that she had a foothold under her feet. She stepped on it twice and climbed directly over the two-meter-high wall.
After going up, Lu Xiaoyao didn't forget to turn around and say thank you.
However, when she turned her head back, Lu Xiaoyao's pupils shook. She looked at the group of paper figures looking at her under the wall, including two paper figures with familiar footprints on their heads.
Paper figures: (* ̄︶ ̄) hi~
Lu Xiaoyao's mentality collapsed!
