Chapter 57 Count Greenshire
The Other World.
Although Mo Xizheng's injuries were not life-threatening, he was unable to walk for long periods. The three remained in the library, and Ji Xingyi attempted to use the previous method to send him back to the surface world, but failed.
Mo Yingdi, who was already seriously injured, developed a large bump on his forehead.
"I give up, you're my nemesis too!" Mo Xizheng weakly gave Ji Xingyi a thumbs up.
Ji Xingyi rarely showed an embarrassed look.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't blame him, it's just that the power of the inner world has become stronger. Now it's not us summoning her, but her trying to trap us."
"I'm not going to make it. If you find Liang Yuan... tell him... I'm here..." As Mo Xizheng spoke, her body slid down the wall and gradually lost consciousness.
Ji Xingyi reached out and touched Mo Xizheng's forehead; it was burning hot, like boiling water.
Ji Xingyi frowned: "If this continues, he will die sooner or later."
Jiang Lin looked into Ji Xingyi's eyes and said quietly, "Are you pitying an NPC?"
Ji Xingyi: "He's a good person."
Although Mo Xizheng was a weakling, he didn't run away in the crisis and even thought of coming back to help. Ji Xingyi wasn't so blind as to not see such a large vase.
He never imagined that an NPC would risk their life to help the player.
Mo Xizheng shattered Ji Xingyi's perception of NPCs.
Jiang Lin looked at Mo Xizheng: "For these NPCs, death is never the end."
"I've been looking for you for so long, and here you are!" Chen Jiangqiao's voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Without waiting for Jiang Lin's reply, he dragged Song He, who was tied up like a dumpling, into the library and closed the door behind him.
Since parting ways with Ji Xingyi on the surface, Chen Jiangqiao had been following Song He, only to discover that the guy was suspiciously meeting with Bernard. After Bernard left, Chen Jiangqiao immediately tied Song He up. He had barely finished interrogating him when he suddenly entered the inner world.
Jiang Lin glanced at Song He, whose head was swollen like a pig's head, and raised an eyebrow slightly: "You really went all out."
"Compared to you, I'm still slightly inferior." Chen Jiangqiao's voice was somewhat sarcastic: "There are some things I can ask you about."
Ji Xingyi stood next to Jiang Lin: "What do you want to say?"
"Hmph, I just asked a few questions, it's not like I ate him, why are you so nervous?" Chen Jiangqiao's tone was tinged with sourness when he saw Ji Xingyi defending Jiang Lin like this.
Jiang Lin pressed down on Ji Xingyi's arm: "Go ahead and ask."
Chen Jiangqiao trampled Song He under his feet: "Jiang Lin, have you already met Count Green Xia Li?"
Ji Xingyi looked surprised. There were only forty-odd hours left before the evacuation point opened, which was already in the mid-to-late stages of the game, but so far, no one had seen Count Green Xia Li’s true face.
No one has ever seen his face, his voice, or even a shadow. Ji Xingyi also found this very strange.
"Ji Xingyi, you don't think the person next to you is a flower that withers at the slightest breeze, do you?" Chen Jiangqiao casually lit a cigarette and gave Ji Xingyi a playful smile.
"Do you remember the second game the guests participated in? Jiang Lin already knew that being caught in hide-and-seek wasn't a death rule, but he deliberately didn't tell you or your other two partners. Why do you think he did that?"
Chen Jiangqiao exhaled a puff of smoke: "I like to call this kind of behavior fishing."
"Do you think someone who likes to use their own partners as bait is a good person?"
Ji Xingyi frowned.
Jiang Lin's gaze was deep, and he revealed a faint smile: "When did I ever say I was a good person? Besides, does the word 'partner' have such a broad scope for you?"
Chen Jiangqiao: "So, in your eyes, Ruan Qing and Ding Xuehui aren't even considered partners?"
"She was disguised as a parasitic plant, trying to use me to help her pass the level from beginning to end. If she hadn't died early, she might have turned around and bitten me. If you were me, would you consider her a partner? I've already taken good care of her. Do you expect me to keep her tied to me?" Jiang Lin shrugged. Ruan Qing's death was definitely not his fault, even if you looked at it from all angles.
Chen Jiangqiao revealed a mocking smile: "What about Ding Xuehui? She said she likes you, and you like her too. So you're just using her?"
"Chen Jiangqiao!" Ji Xingyi interrupted coldly, "What exactly are you trying to say!"
"I just want you to see Jiang Lin's true colors!" Chen Jiangqiao kicked Song He in front of Ji Xingyi: "This variety show was a trap from the very beginning. Song He deliberately chose this location for filming."
Two years ago, Song He and his wife, who was suffering from cancer, were traveling in Country F when they sought refuge in this mysterious castle during a blizzard. Count Greenshire performed a miracle, restoring his wife to health. Unfortunately, Song He's wife died after leaving the castle, and Bernard said it was because the offerings were insufficient to prolong the miracle.
Chen Jiangqiao: "So for this variety show recording, Song He is prepared to sacrifice everyone present."
Ji Xingyi: "He wants to use 17 lives to resurrect his wife?"
“No,” Chen Jiangqiao sneered, “Producer Song just married a 23-year-old young woman at the beginning of the year, and he wants wealth that rivals that of a nation! And Jiang Lin got this lead yesterday afternoon. Did your good brother tell you?”
Ji Xingyi felt a slight tightness in his chest and couldn't help but look at the young man beside him.
Chen Jiangqiao: "He is always one step ahead of everyone else! I have reason to suspect that Jiang Lin has already made contact with Count Greenshire."
"Impressive," Jiang Lin said with an appreciative look, "but your story is missing a key point."
"There was no miracle at all. Song He's wife died long ago. It was his obsession that created an identical monster in the other world. As long as he leaves the castle, the witch's power will disappear, so the claim of being richer than a country is impossible. He was deceived."
"You really met the Earl?" Chen Jiangqiao asked excitedly.
Jiang Lin shook his head under Chen Jiangqiao's expectant gaze: "No."
Chen Jiangqiao looked at Ji Xingyi: "Do you believe him?"
Ji Xingyi: "I believe you."
Chen Jiangqiao couldn't believe it: "You actually believe him?"
"Why shouldn't I believe it?" Ji Xingyi was puzzled. This guy had talked for so long but hadn't said anything serious about Jiang Lin. At most, he had just been hiding some things.
But what does all this have to do with Chen Jiangqiao? Ji Xingyi felt that Chen Jiangqiao was seriously ill.
"You!" Chen Jiangqiao's face turned red with anger: "You're the biggest fish in his pond, and sooner or later, he'll roast you and eat you!"
"You just want to see Countess Greenshire, don't you? I have a way." Jiang Lin chuckled, "I just don't know if you dare."
Chen Jiangqiao frowned: "You go first."
“Fantasy.” Jiang Lin tapped his temple with his finger. “You could create a Green Xia Li Earl. When the real one sees the fake, she’ll be furious.”
Damn! Chen Jiangqiao sighed inwardly once again at Jiang Lin's cunning: "I don't even know what she looks like, how can I imagine it?"
"Who said that? We met on our first day at the castle. You just forgot," Jiang Lin said meaningfully.
Ji Xing instantly understood Jiang Lin's meaning, went out, turned, and headed towards the castle's main hall. Chen Jiangqiao followed closely behind. The two stopped in front of the portrait of Princess Theresa in the center of the stairs.
Chen Jiangqiao's face showed shock: "They are the same person?"
