Chapter 49 Jiang Lin is missing
Chapter 49 Jiang Lin is missing
During high school, although Ji Xingyi was outstanding in appearance, came from a privileged family, and stood out from the crowd in every way, the most popular student in the entire school was actually Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin is like a little sun; Ji Xingyi knows best how warm she is.
There were even more girls surrounding Jiang Lin than Ji Xingyi, but Ji Xingyi had never heard Jiang Lin say that he liked any of them.
They were inseparable, spending most of their time together, 24 hours a day, and even sleeping in the same bed.
Who did Jiang Lin give her first kiss to? Ji Xingyi couldn't even find a single suspect.
"Who is she?" Seeing that Jiang Lin didn't answer, Ji Xingyi asked again. This time, her tone carried a hint of grievance that she herself didn't realize.
"It's irrelevant." Jiang Lin threw Ji Xingyi's words back at him, lay back on the bed, and patted the empty space next to him: "I'm going to sleep, I'm sleepy."
Ji Xingyi remained silent in the darkness, letting the chill seep in. He listened as Jiang Lin's breathing gradually calmed down before getting into bed, carefully pulling the young man into his arms, and pressing his cheek greedily against the back of the person in his arms' neck.
Ding Xuehui slept soundly for the first half of the night; this was the sweetest sleep she had ever had since entering this instance. But in the second half of the night, she felt increasingly cold, and vaguely felt as if her blood was frozen. Even her dreams turned into a world of ice and snow.
After finally enduring until dawn, before she could even open her eyes, Ding Xuehui was suddenly dragged out of bed.
Ding Xuehui was completely stunned. Even the pain was delayed for several seconds before it reached her brain. The girl cried out in pain, and before she could react, she heard the man's angry questioning.
"How do I enter the Otherworld!"
Ding Xuehui looked terrified and tried to break free from Ji Xingyi's grip on her right hand, but no matter how hard she tried, it was no use: "Let me go!"
Ji Xingyi: "What did you and Jiang Lin talk about yesterday?"
The noise from their argument attracted Chen Jiangqiao from next door: "What's going on?"
Ding Xuehui, as if seeing a savior, shouted to Chen Jiangqiao, "Help me!"
"Hmph," Ji Xingyi sneered, disregarding the presence of others, and grabbed the girl's arm, slamming her to the ground.
"Ah—" Ding Xuehui's left shoulder slammed into the ground, and excruciating pain instantly spread throughout her body. The pain was so intense that she felt like her entire shoulder no longer belonged to her: "You madman!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Jiangqiao immediately closed and locked the door to stop Ji Xingyi's violent behavior: "What exactly happened?"
Ji Xingyi: "Jiang Lin has disappeared; he has entered the inner world."
"He experimented on himself?" Chen Jiangqiao asked in surprise.
"Why did Jiang Lin go to the Otherworld?" Ding Xuehui's face turned pale.
Ji Xingyi loosened his collar and elegantly lit a cigarette. Chen Jiangqiao thought the guy had finally calmed down, but then he saw the man suddenly step on the girl's left hand.
The hard sole of the shoe carried an irresistible force that crushed the girl's finger bones, producing a crisp sound of bones breaking.
"Ah—" Ding Xuehui was in so much pain that her face contorted, unable to even scream.
"Damn!" Chen Jiangqiao gasped. Although he himself wasn't exactly chivalrous, this was the first time he'd ever seen someone so ruthless. He stepped forward and grabbed Ji Xingyi's arm: "Don't be angry, Jiang Lin must have been confident..."
But after saying only a few words, Chen Jiangqiao met Ji Xingyi's icy gaze, a gaze he had never seen before.
When Chen Jiangqiao first saw Ji Xingyi, he thought the man's eyes were as beautiful as the moon, aloof and captivating.
But at this moment, Chen Jiangqiao felt as if he were seeing a blood moon, with a violent undercurrent beneath the ice.
It seemed that if he uttered even one more word, his eyes would pierce his heart like ice spikes.
The instinct to avoid danger made Chen Jiangqiao let go of his hand and obediently shut up.
Ji Xingyi said coldly, "Do you think I don't know what you've done? Why don't you tell me?"
A guilty look flashed in Ding Xuehui's eyes, then she glared angrily at the tall man: "I told you I didn't know! Ji Xingyi, aren't you afraid Jiang Lin will find out about this?"
Good heavens, this woman dares to provoke him? Chen Jiangqiao clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking, "Isn't she courting death?"
Ding Xuehui knew that the wisest choice at this time was to bow down to the man, but the emotions she had suppressed for several days finally erupted due to the pain!
Why is this guy able to bully her like this because of his family background and the difference in physical strength between men and women?
"Okay, I'll tell you! I told him I like him! Jiang Lin likes me too!"
Ding Xuehui: "Didn't you always say you were good brothers with him? If Jiang Lin knew what you'd done, what do you think he would do?"
"You said he likes you?" Ji Xingyi stepped on Ding Xuehui's left arm.
With a sharp crack, the girl let out another scream: "Aaaaaah—"
"Do I need to remind you?" The man, shrouded in white smoke, was eerily inhuman. "If a player dies in a dungeon, the system will fake it as an accident in real life. In other words, killing someone in the game is equivalent to the perfect crime. If I kill you now, I won't even spend a penny!"
“Furthermore,” Ji Xingyi slightly raised her chin, looking down disdainfully at the girl at her feet, “would Jiang Lin know? Do you think I would let him know?”
Ding Xuehui couldn't believe her ears. Her self-esteem was completely shattered by the man's words. The physical pain was nothing compared to what she was going through. She trembled uncontrollably: "Madman! You're a madman!"
Chen Jiangqiao sensed that things were about to get out of control, so he stopped Ji Xingyi again and quickly finished speaking before Ji Xingyi could make a move against him: "The important thing now is not who Jiang Lin likes! It's how to enter the inner world!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.
Ji Xingyi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Chen Jiangqiao steeled himself and met Ji Xingyi's murderous gaze, continuing, "We can't kill her now, at least not now. We need clues!"
Ji Xingyi lowered her eyes and stared for a long time before finally letting go of Chen Jiangqiao's breath. Chen Jiangqiao immediately frantically winked at Ding Xuehui.
Ding Xuehui clenched her uninjured right hand into a fist and lowered her head in humiliation: "I know I've already told you, I really don't know how to enter the inner world."
Chen Jiangqiao: "Think about it carefully again, or whether Jiang Lin said anything to you."
Ding Xuehui paused for a moment: "He told me not to be afraid, and that as long as I wasn't afraid, there would be no danger."
Chen Jiangqiao: "As long as you're not afraid, there won't be any danger?"
Ji Xingyi's pupils shrank sharply: "I understand."
Chen Jiangqiao: "What do you know?"
Ji Xingyi lowered his eyes and looked at the battered girl again: "It's fear."
Ding Xuehui frantically crawled backward: "What are you going to do?"
Ji Xingyi approached Ding Xuehui step by step: "Rat is Qiao Xiaomai's fear, and the murderous maid is your fantasy."
Chen Jiangqiao was startled, and all the information connected at that moment: "If you're not afraid, there will be no danger; if you're not afraid, you won't enter the inner world!"
Fear is the key to the inner world!
They don't need any medium; as long as their inner fears reach a certain threshold, they can trigger the arrival of the underworld!
These are the death rules for the "Witch's Tears" dungeon!
