Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 178 Escape from the Horror Game (22)

Her intuition told herself that there was definitely something weird about that ruby ​​necklace, otherwise it wouldn't have appeared in front of her again and again.

What if this is the opportunity God gave me?

After a fierce psychological struggle, Jiang Qiucheng suddenly jumped forward and grabbed the ruby ​​necklace around her neck in his hand under Elina's shocked eyes.

"What are you doing?!"

Facing Elina's exclamation, Jiang Qiucheng ignored her completely and used even more force on his hand.

"pat-"

The link of the necklace broke under the huge external force. Jiang Qiucheng tightly grasped the ruby ​​necklace in his hand and quickly backed away, keeping distance from Elina.

"Haha, I thought you were smarter than them, but I didn't expect you to be a fool who doesn't know how to live or die!"

"Although I don't know why you suddenly snatched my necklace, your expression seems disappointed? Didn't the scene you wanted to see appear?"

"I wanted to be gentler to you, but your rude actions really make me unhappy."

Although there was still a smile on Elina's face, there was a cold light in her eyes, which was obviously a precursor to anger.

Looking at the unresponsive ruby ​​necklace in his hand, Jiang Qiucheng gradually became anxious. Could it be that she had guessed wrong? Or was someone secretly misleading her?
Jiang Qiucheng clenched his fingers into fists, lost in thought, but in the process of retracting his fingers, he accidentally pricked his fingers with the erected spikes.

The bright red blood drips on the relief decoration of the roses on the edge of the ruby ​​necklace, making the originally gorgeous flowers even more eye-catching. The stiff petals of the rose, which had absorbed Jiang Qiucheng's blood, took on a soft posture, stretching their branches and leaves to their heart's content.

Jiang Qiucheng looked at his bleeding finger in shock. Before he could do anything, her figure suddenly disappeared from the place, as if she had been swallowed by some mysterious force.

"Ah-"

After the huge feeling of weightlessness, Jiang Qiucheng's body was thrown out by invisible force and fell onto the soft lawn. The green grass on the lawn is moist and fresh with the morning dew, bringing a hint of coolness when it comes into contact with the skin.

After screaming in pain and baring his teeth, Jiang Qiucheng wiped off the blood on his fingers, rubbed the injured lower back and got up from the ground.

Looking up, I saw only a vast expanse of white fog, like a mysterious veil, covering the scene ahead. There is a moist smell in the air, which makes people feel a little depressed. When you open your fingers, you can feel the moist air flowing on your fingertips, with an indescribable touch.

This is where? Did she escape successfully?
Jiang Qiucheng looked around curiously, trying to find some useful clues, but unfortunately the surrounding area was completely white, and he couldn't see any unnecessary pictures.

Soon, Jiang Qiucheng denied her initial guess. If she successfully found the key and left the game world, she would have been prompted by the system. At the moment, the system was silent, which obviously meant that she had not yet met the conditions for leaving.

Jiang Qiucheng raised her wrist and glanced at the remaining countdown. There were only twelve hours left. The progress bar had passed halfway, but she still couldn't find the so-called key. I thought that the ruby ​​necklace that appeared repeatedly inadvertently would be the key to breaking the situation, but now it seems that something is not right.

Forget it, no matter what, she couldn't continue to waste time standing there stupidly. After making up her mind, Jiang Qiucheng stepped forward, broke through the fog, and walked forward.

As she moved forward, the scene in front of her gradually became clearer, and she seemed to have returned to the original area...

Although most of the main body of the bell tower was obscured by thick white fog, its tall and sharp spire pierced the fog like a sharp sword and was clearly displayed in Jiang Qiucheng's field of vision.

Jiang Qiucheng raised his head slightly, his eyes firmly fixed on the slowly moving hands on the clock tower, trying to find some kind of answer or revelation in the flow of time.

Suddenly, a strong wind came, and Jiang Qiucheng instinctively stretched out his arms to cover himself. Fortunately, she had a lot of things in her backpack, which gave her some support. Otherwise, such a strong wind would have inevitably caused her to fall again.

The surrounding scenery gradually became clearer, and the castle in front of Jiang Qiucheng took on a new look, which was very different from the old appearance last time. The walls of the castle were as smooth as a mirror and were no longer covered by large epiphytes.

The color of the sky is also brighter. The bright sunshine is shining down, and it seems that you can feel its warm temperature. The two sides are covered with colorful roses, which bloom extremely eye-catchingly and are a presence that no one can ignore.

Since his hand had just been pricked before, Jiang Qiucheng did not dare to touch them easily. The castle was bustling with activity at the moment, filled with unprecedented vitality, as if some important event was about to be held.

The maids busily shuttled through the castle, carefully arranging the scene.

The bright white tablecloth is spread out, and the silverware on the table is shining with dazzling light; the exquisite dessert table displays a dazzling array of delicious snacks and desserts, which is mouth-watering; the air is filled with the fragrant aroma of flowers, accompanied by European classical music Blending with each other creates an elegant and romantic atmosphere.

Although it is still in the preparation stage, it is not difficult to see that the host is very interested in this event.

Suddenly, Jiang Qiucheng felt a subtle and unique feeling, as if there was some invisible force pulling her gaze. She turned her head slightly and looked in the direction guided by that inexplicable intuition. On the balcony of a building not far away, a figure caught her attention.

On a balcony, there was a little girl holding a doll, looking at her quietly. The gaze was full of curiosity and inquiry, as if she was observing a novel thing, an outsider who was full of mystery and attraction to her.

Why does this kid look familiar...?
The sun shines like a golden ribbon, its light is so warm and dazzling that people have to squint their eyes to adapt to the brightness.

In such light, Jiang Qiucheng's vision was a little blurry. She tried hard to see the figure in front of her clearly, but the blur seemed to be deliberately against her, so that she could only capture some rough outlines and temperament.

She searched hard in her mind, trying to find memory fragments that matched this profile and temperament.

After the little girl noticed that Jiang Qiucheng was looking at her, her big curious eyes blinked playfully and even moved some distance towards the edge of the balcony.

Just when Jiang Qiucheng was about to see clearly, the figure of a maid appeared behind the little girl.
