Chapter 21: Experiment Failure
Qin Ziyuan was as ruthless to others as he was to himself. After all, if one more protection target died, he would be one step closer to death. It was still the same saying, if you don't take a risk, you won't reap the rewards. He was completely testing the way of life with two lives, something that Mo Yuan could never do, but he could do it. And he knew that when he did such a thing, he had become an even more cruel villain than his father. "You will always follow me, right?" Qin Xiao Hei looked at the middle-aged man who had already unzipped his pants and opened his big, and whispered to Qin Zi Yuan, "I …… I don't want to die ……" "It won't. I have a way, don't worry." The various calculations that Qin Ziyuan had shown before had indeed made people impressed with him, plus he was right that the Blood Word mission required protecting them, so his death would in no way benefit Qin Ziyuan. The blood word mission required at least one person to survive, then that also meant that once he died, they would only have at most one more person to die, the risk was too great. Obviously, Qin Xiao Hei did not understand the ruthless character of Qin Zi Yuan as a person. So he also walked up to the middle-aged man and unzipped his pants pretending to join him on the big one. Qin Ziyuan, on the other hand, hid behind the bushes and then, began to slowly back away. "That one, are you still there?" Qin Ziyuan immediately replied, "Uh, I'm still there." It was naturally impossible for him to stay where he was. These two people now belonged to the situation of being left alone, and the mortality rate of those who were left alone was very high in the Blood Word mission. And with the two of them gathered together, it depended on who the evil spirits were killing. In the case where the middle-aged man stayed by Qin Xiaohei's side, would he become a living target to replace Qin Xiaohei in attracting the evil spirits? Or was the middle-aged man himself an evil spirit that killed Qin Xiaohei? Or did Qin Xiaohei exchange the medieval banknotes for a way out, or even then would he still be killed by the evil spirits? Of course, the worst case scenario was that both people would die, and the evil spirit would never mind killing some unrelated passersby in passing during a bloodletter mission. But no matter which outcome it was, he was exchanging minimal risk for a clue to life. Qin Ziyuan licked his lips again. Whenever he was nervous and uneasy, his addiction to cigarettes would be unprecedentedly strong. However, this was a critical moment and he couldn't smoke, in case the light of the cigarette's fire made the evil spirits notice him it wouldn't be good. He stepped back as far as he could while answering Qin Xiao Hei's words loudly to make him think he hadn't gone far. In fact, there was an even worse possibility. That would be …… The Evil Spirit killed those three people in passing, killing him along with them. However, Qin Ziyuan couldn't leave too far away, once he realized that he hadn't stayed there, Qin Xiaohei wouldn't continue to squat there and open a large number. He couldn't let Qin Xiaohei suspect that he was using him as an experiment to lure the evil spirits out. "Well …… let me see how things will develop ……." He very much hoped that it was the middle-aged man who died. That would prove that the recurring quartet was meant to be used as living targets to draw fire from the evil spirits. Then, he would return to that house just now and use the remaining three people inside as new living targets. As for Mo Yuan, in case he really had to go against himself, then no matter how much he sympathized with Mo Yuan, he would have to use some ruthless means. Mo Yuan's mind is very clear to him, since he knows that the wish to resurrect the dead can not be realized, he is no longer so important to his own life and death. People who are not afraid of death are the most troublesome, and it is difficult to control without desire. And most importantly, people like him valued procedural justice over outcome justice, if this matter only involved his personal life and death, he would never use any unrelated passerby as a living target. Qin Ziyuan licked his lips again and continued to take another step back. This safe distance was difficult to get the hang of, but he had to stay as far away as possible. And at this time, Qin Xiao Hei shouted again, "Are you still there?" "I'm still there!" Time moved …… quickly to 1:15. The middle-aged man came out from behind the bushes, and he also smiled and said to the back of the bushes, "Young man don't worry, constipation is not a big problem, go to the hospital to see it." "Well …… I'm not constipated ……" But a "secret" word has not been said, Qin Xiaohei's voice came to an abrupt end! Qin Ziyuan immediately sucked in a mouthful of cold air and shouted to the middle-aged man, "Uncle, why did he lose his voice in the middle of his words, go take a look!" Even at the most dangerous juncture, he remained calm and would not easily take risks, while starting to back away! The middle-aged man, on the other hand, walked behind the bushes to take a look and immediately exclaimed, "What? Where did he go?" Qin Xiao Hei …… is dead!!!? The worst state of affairs happened. "Qin Xiaohei! Qin Xiaohei!" Qin Ziyuan let out a loud shout, but there was no response. The middle-aged man came out from behind the bushes with a horrified face, "How can there be no one …… He was standing up to lift his pants properly just now, how can there be no one in just a second or two, and there is no other place behind here to hide people ah?" 1:15, the second protection target died! Still in a situation where both sides are down! The living target's assumptions fell completely flat! His presumption was wrong! There were still 45 minutes until the end of the Bloodletter mission! But the way to life is still clueless! The only targets left to protect were Qin Xiaoming and Qin Xiaolan! Qin Ziyuan returned to Mo Yuan's side, his face very ugly. "My idea was wrong …… Qin Xiaohei he's dead!" Although no one from the occupants had died yet, no one's face looked good. Half of the protection targets are already dead! There were still 45 minutes to go, at this rate, they would all have to meet the King of Hell! "How could this be ……" Lin Xuan desperately grabbed his hair and viciously kicked the stone in front of him. At this time, the middle aged man walked over and said, "Let's go look for him?" "Well …… Uncle, you go back first." Mo Yuan then said, "I'm afraid it's not too safe here. Let s come and find him well." "Is this …… good? Should we call the police?" "You can't file a case if you're missing for less than 24 hours." Mo Yuan knows that the law is actually not that prescribed, but in folklore most people believe that much, it's no problem to use it to fool the middle-aged man in front of him, "You go back first, let's come and find him. He should be around here, I don't think it's going to be a big deal or he'd be screaming." "Then …… I'll go first?" "Uh-huh." Eyeing the middle-aged man's back as he left, Qin Ziyuan's face became more and more ugly. He pulled out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, lighting his lighter. "What exactly is the way to life?" Qin Xiaoming took out the cigarette and threw it away fiercely, he was fed up with the smell of second-hand smoke, "Do you have a way to fix it or not? What the hell should we do now?" "I don't know …… I don't know anything …… Can't you think of something? If you remember, maybe we'll be saved!" "I …… I can't remember ……" "The things we went through along the way didn't remind you of anything at all?" Qin Xiaoming's expression was obviously pained as well. He desperately searched his brain's memory bank, but how could he not understand who he really was, why he had collapsed on the highway, and why he was associated with this cursed apartment's bloodletter mission? What was he and the other three, really?
