I made myself the protagonist

After saying goodbye to Shen Tinglan and his party, Ling Yun became uncharacteristically silent and walked at the front alone in silence. Zhao Sicheng wanted to chat with him for a few words to change the atmosphere, but when he saw the frighteningly dark face of the other party, he decided He glanced at Lin Yuanqi angrily.

The latter shook his head and actually changed his usual nonchalant expression and became rarely serious.

Zhao Sicheng thought that it was strange today, why were everyone so abnormal. Since no one was talking, he didn't want to 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.

In Lin Yuanqi's opinion, Ling Yun had known Tang Yao longer than he did, and Tang Yao trusted and admired him so much. He even learned from Shen Tinglan just now that Tang Yao was in the ancestral hall at that time. Yao died to save Ling Yun.

Even if this mission was special and what he had experienced before was not death in the true sense, what he said when he rejected Tang Yao just now was too straightforward and hurtful, without any thought of any affection.

Not to mention Tang Yao, in the eyes of an onlooker, Ling Yun's words and deeds were a bit excessive.

Although it can't be said to be a strong affection between a man and a woman, when he saw Tang Yao following Ling Yun wholeheartedly, he would occasionally feel sour and envious in his heart.

Lin Yuanqi likes to look at Tang Yao's eyes that shine like crescent moons when she smiles; even if the person those eyes are looking at is not him.

I have been wandering around 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 if he just watched, Lin Yuanqi believed that it was a kind of salvation, a white moonlight shining in his heart. Tang Yao's existence was like hope, giving him hope for a free life and no longer feeling like he was spending time in space. The days are so boring.

Lin Yuanqi has always been free and easy when it comes to relationships. A gentleman has the beauty of adulthood. Now that she has someone she likes, he will not cause trouble to her. Protecting Tang Yao as a sister makes him more relaxed than having a one-sided crush.

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

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

Erika didn't seem to know what Lin Yuanqi and 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. Yunjun, after you entered the Li family's ancestral hall yesterday, the three of us discovered something in the bamboo forest. There are some strange traces. Right, Qijun."

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

I spoke for her at that time because I was persuaded by Ling Yun, thinking that having another healing player could share the pressure for Tang Yao; as for now...

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

Ling Yun, a blind fool, has repeatedly protected this Japanese woman. Who is his own?!

Thinking of this, Lin Yuanqi's face became gloomy, and his tone became much colder: "Don't call me that, I'm not familiar with you."

Erika didn't seem to expect that the other party would suddenly say these words to her. She was stunned for a moment, and then apologized: "I was 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. I won't accept Ling Yun's tricks. Don't be pretentious here." Lin Yuanqi pushed up his sunglasses and simply walked to the other side, out of sight.

"Hey, what's going on today? Everyone has taken gunpowder?" Zhao Sicheng looked on, feeling confused.

Although Lin Yuanqi is usually smooth-talking, has no integrity, and is a bit lustful, his attitude towards female players has always been very respectful.

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

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

She was not stupid. After observing her for a short period of time, she naturally knew that Lin Yuanqi was dissatisfied with her 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 exuded a faint fishy smell, like the body odor of some kind of animal or algae.

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

"Before I was completely swallowed by the black mist, I smelled the same smell. It's absolutely correct." Erica said with certainty: "This smell comes from the locked well behind the ruined temple."

"But the smell you are talking about should be from the S-class curse spirit." Zhao Sicheng's eyes suddenly widened: "Then according to what you mean, the true form of the curse spirit was hiding in the well???"

Erika thought for a while and shook her head quickly: "Don't forget, there is already a problem with the timeline in this mission. Personally, I prefer that the curse spirit once stayed in the well, but has since left. Otherwise, even if it doesn't attack us

, the talismans and props we were wearing at that time would also send out danger reminders."

Erika recalled: When a group of them were investigating near the ruined temple, they accidentally discovered a well covered with moss.

The wellhead was held down by a heavy stone, and there were some signs of wear and tear around it. In order to investigate, they removed the stone.

The strange thing is that there are eight iron chains about the same thickness as his forearm locked around the well wall. The iron chains extend all the way into the well. Below is the pitch-black well water, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

"We tried to pull the chains, but they were too long, as if they were endless. We didn't know what exactly these chains were connected to. Except for hearing some echoes, nothing else happened."

Erika said that it was at that time that she accidentally smelled a strange smell underground, mixed with a strong smell of blood.

Ling Yun silently wrote down this information, waiting to see what new discoveries Shen Tinglan made after the next meeting.

Except for the resurrected players, the villagers themselves did not 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 they were alive, the second time they were familiar. This time, they ignored the villagers who were yelling at them and went straight to the direction of the village chief's home. Soon, on the country road, Ling Yun and others were intercepted by another group of people.

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