After Yitu and Jiang Hanyu arrived at the ancestral hall, Chu Sichi was still there.

It's just that his complexion was much haggard compared to the previous day.

It was probably because of what happened to Du Jinyu last night, which scared people.

When Chu Sichi saw the person coming, his voice was full of exhaustion.

"What are you doing here?"

Yitu shook his head, and opened his mouth in a decent panic.

"Mrs. Hui was worried that you were too exhausted to watch the night, so she called us to pass a message, telling you to go back to your room and rest for a while."

Chu Sichi hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Dong Haoyue's coffin, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He was really tired, and he was frightened a lot last night. Now facing Dong Haoyue's body, it is impossible not to panic.

And the reason why he stayed in the ancestral hall was because the ancestral hall blocked the dirty things that wanted to come in last night.

Although he is willing to marry Dong Haoyue in the dark, it doesn't mean that he wants to go to the underworld to be a husband and wife like Dong Haoyue.

After Chu Sichi left, Yitu tried to search around.

He was looking for the concentric knot that Chu Sichi took out last night.

Not under the futon, nor around the coffin, just when Yitu thought that Chu Sichi took the things away, Jiang Hanyu who was standing in front of the brazier suddenly said:

"Is it this?"

Yitu hurried up to take a look, and saw that the exquisite red concentric knot had been burnt to pitch black, only a part as big as a fingernail remained unburnt.

And there seemed to be something else mixed in the burnt rope.

"Look what this is." Yitu pointed to the twisted text pattern attached to the inner side of the rope, and looked towards Jiang Hanyu.

"I don't know." Jiang Hanyu couldn't recognize it, so he guessed:

"Like a spell."

"Spell?" Yitu was stunned for a moment, then a flash of understanding flashed across his face.

"I'm afraid it is."

He knew that the sympathy knot that Du Jinyu gave to Chu Sichi was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

No matter whether Du Jinyu loved or hated Chu Sichi, she couldn't wish the two of them sincerely.

But now Dong Haoyue and Chu Sichi are lovers separated by Yin and Yang before they got married, and Du Jinyu may have contributed a lot in it.

Unable to get a complete concentric knot, the two were planning to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this time, someone came in.

It was a short man with a mustache. He was wearing a gray coat. After seeing Yitu and Jiang Hanyu, his face showed a hint of surprise.

"Coincidentally, you are here too?"

Yitu couldn't help frowning as soon as the man's words came out of his mouth.

The reason is that this person's voice is too familiar. He is familiar with the scene that happened on the mountain yesterday, and he still has a shadow.

The figure that the heart-throwing monster deliberately disguised is the player named Taishu in front of him.

Probably because he looked at Yitu's expression for a moment, the uncle gave a wry smile and spread his hands.

"Don't worry, brother, I'm a real person!"

"It's really not that thing in disguise!"

He came here this time to confirm the personal safety of the NPCs in the plot, so that they would not be able to complete the mandatory mission and they would all be trapped here to death.

Uncle Tai asked where Chu Sichi was, and Yitu told him that he had gone back to his room to rest.

Uncle hesitated for a second, then said:

"Although the players are dying strangely now, the point is not how they died. The two NPCs Chu Sichi and Shao Feng are very important."

"The former is fine, but the latter is really inconvenient for us to see."

Yitu remained silent. After the uncle left, he looked at Jiang Hanyu. The moment the two looked at each other, they knew the answer in each other's mind.

The two plot NPCs, Chu Sichi and Shao Feng, may not all survive.

The harsh nature of the game will not allow players to hold a wedding so smoothly.

But if you can preserve it, try to preserve it as much as possible.

Yitu can think of the worst plan now, but after the plot NPC dies, the groom will be replaced by the player.

After all, there is no one else in the Dong family who can come forward, and so is the Du family.

It's just that he doesn't know if the player and the ghost are married to the ghost, whether they can survive.

After coming out of the ancestral hall, Jiang Hanyu was going to the east wing, but Yitu planned to go back to his room first.

Cold, really too cold.

Yitu couldn't help rubbing his palms, his pale skin didn't have the slightest color of blood, and it was so cold that he couldn't feel the temperature.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he felt as if water was dripping from the palm of his hand.

Thinking of this possibility, Yitu's heart sank to the bottom.

He hugged his arms tightly, thinking about going back and wrapping up the quilt quickly.

However, on the way back to the West Wing, he happened to run into the uncle whom he had just met.

The uncle still wore the same gray coat, his short stature and funny moustache made him look a bit mischievous.

Uncle Tai looked up and saw him, with a surprise smile on his face.

"I was wondering why there was no one in the yard."

He walked straight towards Yitu, and then asked:

"Where are you going? Why are you so busy?"

As they got closer, Yitu could smell the faint smell of scorpion from this person.

The man in front of him was not Taishu at all, but the beast pretending to be Taishu.

Yitu remembered what Jiang Hanyu told him, when this thing asks a question, he must answer it.

But he didn't know what to say to avoid this thing from killing him.

Yitu looked at it calmly, thought for a while and said:

"Of course it's where I want to go. Didn't you go to find Master Chu?"

The thing froze for a moment, and said embarrassingly:

"Yeah, I just came back from Master Chu, and Madam Hui called me over again."

Although Yitu panicked a little in his heart, on the surface he couldn't be afraid of this thing, he asked back:

"What is Mrs. Hui calling you for? Is it preparing a wedding dress for Miss Dong?"

Taishu shook his head, "No, not this."

It squinted its eyes and stared at Yitu, then sighed deeply.

"Master Dong is about to die, and Mrs. Hui is so sad that she can't eat."

"She told me to figure it out."

Yitu frowned, he had heard the conversation between this thing and Mrs. Hui last night.

Dong Qingshan is getting old, and after losing his wife and son, once his will is depressed, he may not be able to bear it.

And Mrs. Hui wanted that thing to replace Dong Qingshan's heart.

"Life and death are deterministic, so what can you do?" Yitu answered it calmly.

The uncle shook his head calmly, his eyes became more and more strange, and his voice became thinner.

"How could it be? A person's life should be decided by himself!"

"Master Dong is going to die. You said that a person whose heart stopped beating can still survive?"

Yitu's alarm rang loudly, this thing was too close to him, but even if he distanced himself now, it was impossible to escape.

On the back mountain, Artest's death reappeared in front of his eyes.

Before the animal started, he asked Artest similar questions.

Can a person live without a heart?

Artest failed to answer its question in time, but it gave the answer itself.

But that's not necessarily the right answer.

"A person without a heart is a dead thing, and of course it is impossible to survive."

Yitu spoke every word very clearly.

And the uncle's face turned ugly in an instant, dense black fluff began to appear on its face, screaming and shouting at Yitu:

"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense! People can survive without a heart!"

After saying that, the camouflage on it fell off, and a thing as tall as a man with pointed gills and a long mouth pounced on it.

Yitu's heart tightened, and he quickly backed away.

"But you're not human at all!"

The moment the thing's sharp claws cut through Yitu's arm, the body of the servant card A Daoling appeared passively.

And when Yitu's words were uttered, the thing suddenly screamed, its body suddenly shrunk many times, and it rolled on the ground in pain.

Yitu was stunned for a moment, just about to go up and trample that thing to death, but unexpectedly it escaped cleverly.

Yitu stood there holding his bleeding arm for a while, then walked towards the main room.

That thing was injured, it must be Mrs. Hui Hui's residence.

When he got to the main room, he saw Mrs. Hui's door opened a small crack, which was opened by itself.

Yitu walked over quietly, and didn't notice a single person or demon in the room.

Yitu suspects that this has something to do with the weakened aura on his body, he is almost dead, let alone the thing was injured again.

He leaned over to the open door and looked, Madam Hui was kneeling on Dong Qingshan's bedside, her face haggard.

And only half a meter tall, a little fluffy thing like a child's size, squatted carefully at Mrs. Hui's feet.

It clutched its chest and whispered Mrs. Hui's name.

"Xiaohui, Xiaohui, I feel pain here."

Madam Hui turned her head to look at it, Yitu was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Hui's face looked too old, no wonder she didn't come out to meet the guests today.

"Ah Li, bear with it." Mrs. Hui stroked the thing's head, her voice was full of bitterness: "We will get through it."

Ahri didn't speak, but took a small breath.

Yitu knew it must be very painful, but it didn't want to make Mrs. Hui hate it, so it didn't roll all over the floor in pain.

"Ah Li." Mrs. Hui hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Qingshan's aura is much weaker, he doesn't eat or drink these days..."

Madam Hui's voice turned into tears, "I'm afraid he won't be able to survive, can you save him?"

Ahri didn't speak, but its gasping sound became louder and louder.

"Xiaohui, I can only save you." It took a long time for Ari to speak.

Obviously this is not the answer Mrs. Hui wanted, she was angry and sad, and said with tears:

"If Qingshan is gone, I don't want to live alone."

"Save him, just like you saved me back then, okay?"

Ari kept covering his chest with his furry paws, gasped and said:

"But, but..."

"But what!" Madam Hui cried out heartbroken:

"There are so many guests at home, wouldn't it be enough to just kill any one?"

"This is obviously very simple for you!"

Ari still clutched his chest tightly, shaking his head all the time:

"But……"

Yitu, who was standing outside the door, listened quietly for a while, then turned and left.

Madam Hui didn't understand that guy's hesitation, thinking that it just didn't want to save Dong Qingshan.

But Yitu guessed the real reason, as well as what Ari kept repeating but failed to say.

However, I have already given you my only heart.

I have no second heart to give.
