I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 164
After bidding farewell to Shen Tinglan and his group, Ling Yun was uncharacteristically silent, and walked in the front alone in silence.Zhao Sicheng wanted to chat with him a few words to change the atmosphere, but when he saw the frighteningly dark expression on his face, he glanced at Lin Yuanqi resentfully.

The latter shook his head, unexpectedly changed his usual sloppy countenance, and became serious rarely.

Zhao Sicheng thought to himself that today is strange, why everyone is so abnormal.Since no one spoke, then I didn't get into trouble, and just followed quietly.

What Zhao Sicheng didn't know was that at this moment, Lin Yuanqi also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Ling Yun.

From Lin Yuanqi's point of view, Ling Yun has known Tang Yao longer than himself, and Tang Yao trusts and admires him so much.He even learned from Shen Tinglan just now that Tang Yao died in the ancestral hall to save Ling Yun.

Even if this mission was special, what he experienced before was not a real death; but what he said when he rejected Tang Yao just now was too straightforward and hurtful, without any consideration of affection.

Not to mention Tang Yao, in the eyes of a bystander like him, Ling Yun's words and deeds were a little too much.

Although it can't be said that it is a strong affection between a man and a woman, when watching Tang Yao follow Ling Yun wholeheartedly, sometimes sour envy will sprout in his heart.

Lin Yuanqi likes to see Tang Yao's eyes shining like crescent moons when she smiles; even if those eyes are not looking at herself.

I have been struggling in the black and white world for a long time, and now I have fallen into a desperate hell like Ark, but fortunately, I can still see such clean and clear eyes.

Even just looking at it, Lin Yuanqi thought, it was a kind of redemption, a touch of white moonlight shining in his heart.Tang Yao's existence is like hope, giving him hope for a free life, and he no longer feels that the days spent in the space are so boring.

Lin Yuanqi has always been free and easy when dealing with feelings.A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and since he has someone he likes, he won't bother her.Taking care of Tang Yao as a younger sister is easier than having a unilateral crush.

So Lin Yuanqi couldn't choose to ignore what happened just now.

Thinking of Tang Yao's sad appearance when she left, he only hated Ling Yun, a guy who didn't know how to be blessed, and didn't know how to cherish such a good girl.

Erika didn't seem to know what Lin Yuanqi and the others were thinking.

Recalling what she found in the bamboo forest outside the ancestral hall last night, she came to Ling Yun and said, "I just remembered something. Mr. Yun, after you entered the Li's ancestral hall yesterday, the three of us found it in the bamboo forest. There are some strange traces. Right, Qijun."

Hearing the other party calling him, Lin Yuanqi raised his head to look at the other party, and couldn't help but recall the scene of the first meeting yesterday.

At that time, I spoke for her because I was persuaded by Ling Yun, thinking that one more healing player could relieve Tang Yao's pressure; as for now...

Seeing the innocent look on that woman's face, Lin Yuanqi could only feel an unknown fire rising in his heart.

Ling Yun, a blind and foolish bastard, has repeatedly protected this Japanese woman, who is his own? !
Thinking of this, Lin Yuanqi's face was gloomy, and his tone became much colder: "Don't call me that, I don't know you well."

Erika didn't seem to expect that the other party would say this to her suddenly, she was taken aback for a moment, and then apologized: "I'm too self-righteous, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Ling Yun will take what you do, but I won't. Don't be coy here." Lin Yuanqi pushed his sunglasses, and simply walked to the other side, not seeing what he saw.

"Hey, what's the matter today, everyone has taken gunpowder?" Zhao Sicheng watched from the side, only feeling confused.

Although Lin Yuanqi is usually glib, out of shape, and somewhat lecherous, he has always respected female players very much.

Zhao Sicheng looked at the other party in surprise, he had never seen Lin Yuanqi talking to a female player like this, especially a beautiful woman.

At this time, Erika tugged Ling Yun's sleeve carefully, with a guilty expression on her face.

She is not stupid, after a short time with her, she naturally knew that Lin Yuanqi was dissatisfied with herself because of Tang Yao's affairs.

"Don't worry about him, just keep talking. What did you find in the bamboo forest?" Ling Yun didn't care about Lin Yuanqi's cynicism towards him.

Under his questioning, Erika also sorted out her emotions.

She told Ling Yun that she smelled a strange smell in the forest at that time.The smell exudes a faint fishy smell, like the body odor of some kind of animal, and like algae.

And when I was on my way just now, I finally remembered.

"Before I was completely swallowed by the black mist, I also smelled the same smell. It's absolutely true." Erika said with confidence, "This smell all comes from the locked well behind the ruined temple."

"But the smell you mentioned should be from the S-level curse spirit." Zhao Sicheng's eyes widened suddenly: "Then according to you, the real body of the curse spirit hid in the well before???"

Erika thought for a while, then shook her head quickly: "Don't forget, there has been a problem with the timeline in this mission. I personally prefer that the curse spirit once stayed in the well, but has since left. Otherwise, it will not attack us. , At that time, the spells and props on our bodies would also send out danger reminders."

Erika recalled: When a group of me was investigating near the ruined temple, I accidentally discovered that there was a well covered with moss.

The mouth of the well was pressed down by a heavy stone, and there were still some signs of wear around it.To investigate, they removed the stone.

Strangely, eight iron chains about the thickness of his own forearm were locked around the wall of the well, and the iron chains extended all the way into the well.

"We tried to pull the chains, but they were too long, as if they were endless. We don't know what these chains are connected to. Apart from hearing some echoes, there were no other abnormalities."

Erika said that at that time, she inadvertently smelled a strange smell from the well, mixed with a strong smell of blood.

Ling Yun silently wrote down the information, and only waited for the next meeting to see what new discoveries Shen Tinglan had.

Apart from the revived player, the villagers themselves don't have any memory of yesterday.Therefore, after Ling Yun and his party entered the village, they were still rejected and resisted by the villagers just like yesterday.

The first time is raw, the second time is cooked.This time, they ignored the villagers who spoke viciously and went straight to the direction of the village chief's house.Soon, on the small road in the countryside, Ling Yun and others were intercepted by another group of people.

It seemed that the four men and three women had been prepared and had been waiting for their arrival.
