With the plummeting SAN value, I can only work hard to watch the drama

Chapter 193
Just when the murmur turned into a hysterical roar, the whole "grove" also changed dramatically.

The reddish moonlight shining from the night sky slowly dimmed at this moment, as if something invisible and intangible covered the entire forest.

And the next second when the light weakened to the point where it was impossible to see, the entire forest was shrouded in a burst of strong light, and there were no dark corners, just like daytime.

At the same time, the ground trembled violently and cracked, and strands of black smoke full of decay rose from the cracks, turning into distorted faces, howling silently, rising to the sky and finally disappearing.

The appearance of strong light made Shen Xiu, who was hiding in the canopy of the tree and waiting for work, deeply frowned.

The situation seemed to be somewhat out of his control.

In the movie, it is true that the monster associated with the music box is a mythical creature, but when it appeared, it was not as dynamic as it is now.

There is not even a monster that matches its appearance in the entire movie.

"Is it something that wasn't shown in the movie?"

Shen Xiuru thought.

Shen Xiu was absent-minded on the tree, but everyone under the tree was shocked by the movement.

At this moment, the investigators of Tiandu Strange Affairs Bureau headed by Xue Qian and the Old Sect Alliance headed by Leng Qin all turned their attention to the music box that Xue Qian held in his hand.

It is night at this moment, and it belongs to the world where the old masters exist.

The ruler of the scarlet moon hanging high in the sky is naturally also in this world.

And the owner of this howling sound was able to block the moonlight from the scarlet moon in the sky in the dark night, and his strength has undoubtedly reached a height beyond the reach of everyone present.

It is even possible that the other party is almost the same as that "Scarlet Moon", or even stronger.

Horror existences stronger than the old days' rulers, how can they, the most powerful human beings who are the "legendary pillars", be able to provoke them?
Xue Qian's pupils shrank immediately, and he gave up the idea of ​​throwing the music box back. He retracted his five fingers and firmly grasped the music box in his hand.

Since this thing is related to that kind of horrible existence, there is no reason to return it to Leng Qin and others.

Otherwise, who knows whether those "lunatics" will suddenly go crazy and do some irrational things.

the other side.

Leng Qin, who was still staying in the wooden house, also turned gloomy and cold with the roar.

In the end, it was still a miscalculation.

As the first person who heard the murmur in the tunnel, she guessed that the music box might be related to a certain monster in this restricted area.

Holding the music box is tantamount to becoming the target of that monster.

That's why she threw the box out graciously, diverting the trouble to the east, and wanted to use this to count Xue Qian, who was no weaker than herself.

However, after thousands of calculations, they failed to figure out that the monster behind the music box was actually as powerful as the old ruler.

You know, if it's just an ordinary monster, even if the monster's strength is no less than that of "Pillar" or "Acting Angel", Leng Qin won't care so much about it.

But if it is a monster that can rival the Old Ones, then the meaning is completely different.

Indeed, holding the music box will become the target of the monster, but at the same time, it is also a "strategic weapon".

Although dangerous, the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity.

It is even possible to use this music box to completely collapse the "wall" that separates day and night.

If Lengqin had known that this would be the case, it would be impossible to throw the music box over.

Leng Qin was secretly annoyed, and the gloomy look on his face couldn't help but become heavier.

At this moment, the roaring continued, even crazier than before, and there was a faint feeling that he was about to break free.

The magnitude of the earthquake was getting bigger and bigger, and in some places even cracks half a meter wide were opened.

The sudden upheaval caused both the Bureau of Strange Affairs and the Old Sect to become serious, and no one dared to act rashly.

The two groups of people who seemed to be at odds on the surface began to shift their attention to their feet secretly.

No one knew if the owner of that voice would break out of the ground and catch them by surprise without opening the music box.

Of course, these people did not include Shen Xiu who was hiding in the canopy of the tree.

Shen Xiu looked down at every move under the tree, frowned slightly, her eyes changed several times, and finally showed a firm look, as if she had made some decision.

He poked it and stared at Alia below with his eyes wide open, and made a mouth gesture.

Aliya tilted her head and thought about it, a little reluctant, but after Shen Xiu stared, she had no choice but to nod her head.

In the next second, Aliya disappeared above the canopy.

in the wooden house.

Leng Qin stood by the window with a gloomy expression, looking at Xue Qian who was also looking at her from a distance, as if hesitating, but didn't notice that there was something wrong with the Leng Yan expression behind her.

His lips moved slightly a few times, as if he was going to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it for some unknown reason.

"Acting Angel" Leng Yan wears a light blue cloak, and her entire body is hidden under the cloak.

She stood quietly behind Leng Qin, seemingly looking at Xue Qian and others outside the house.

But if someone observes carefully, her focus is not on Xue Qian, not even on the music box, but on an open space.

That's right, Leng Yan is "deserting", that is, distracted.

No one knew that she, who was covered by a cloak, was holding a crystal ball the size of a baby's fist in her hand.

In the middle of the clear and translucent crystal ball, there is a golden-yellow scorpion.

Suddenly, the gloomy Leng Qin's expression changed, she smiled, and said:

"Xue Qian, since that person is in such a hurry, why don't you just open the box."

Xue Qian raised his brows, his eyes revealed a strange color.

The music box is related to that kind of monster, and it stands to reason that no one present should have the intention of opening it.

The reason why he still kept this "hot potato" was because he was afraid that someone in the opposite group would suddenly go crazy and open the box.

But he never thought that Archbishop Leng of the Foresight Society would advise him to open the box.

Why, does this mean that he also went crazy?
Xue Qian smiled and said:

"If it's in a hurry, it's none of my business."

Leng Qin smiled even wider:

"So, is Director Xue going to open the box and take a look?"

"That is."

Xue Qian shrugged lazily, and was about to say "Of course".

It's just that before the word "Of course" came out, there was an extra person behind him.

The appearance of this person not only made a look of fear appear in his eyes, but also shocked Xiong Zhan and others.

Xiong Zhan and those people were guarding against the monster underground, how could they expect someone to suddenly appear beside them.

Xiong Zhan immediately stared bull-eyed, raised his fist and punched the visitor on the head.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Zhan felt a cramping pain in his abdomen before his fist was even half a meter away from that person, and his strength was like opening a gate to release water, and it was passing quickly.

Seeing that Xiong Zhan was knocked down by the visitor, the other investigators felt the same hatred and wanted to avenge Xiong Zhan, but Xue Qian raised his hand to stop them, turned his head, and said to the visitor:
"Where's Shen Xiu?"

The uninvited guest who could knock down Xiong Zhan, the "middle-level demon hunter" powerhouse with one punch, was none other than Aliya who had disappeared above the canopy.

Aliya did not answer, but said crisply:

"Father asked me to tell you that the box can be opened or not. The thing underground is no more difficult to deal with than the woman opposite."

Hearing this, Xue Qian was greatly surprised.

The reason why he was surprised was not that Shen Xiu knew about the box.

After all, before this, Shen Xiu had already told him in some way that she was nearby.

He was surprised that Shen Xiu actually said he could open the box.

And it is not difficult to guess from his words that he knows the monster behind the music box very well.

It has been 20 years since Xue Qian joined the Bureau of Strange Affairs, and he has experienced more incidents than the "Legendary Pillar" Long Zheng.

Rich experience told him that since Shen Xiu could know the music box and the monster behind the music box, he must also know a lot about this restricted area.

Even an even more absurd possibility flashed through his mind—maybe this restricted area that suddenly appeared was created by Shen Xiu.

The thought came and went quickly.

Xue Qian didn't take it seriously either.

Originally, even though Shen Xiu had a good relationship with that "angel", it was not so easy to create such a restricted area with such powerful monsters.

Various thoughts flashed through Shen Xiu's mind, she settled down and said:

"I see."

Aliya nodded, turned around and was about to leave, just took two steps, she slapped her head, turned around and said:

"By the way, my father also asked me to tell you something."

"What?" Xue Qian asked suspiciously.

Alicia says:
"My father said that there is a lot of commotion now, beware of those old rulers."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qian's body trembled suddenly, and his pupils shrank into needlepoints.

That's it!

He suddenly figured out why Leng Qin asked him to open the box.

True, opening the box at the voice's owner's will would likely unleash a terrifying monster that would put everyone in danger.

But you must know that this forest is now in the night world, in the world where many old rulers are active.

With believers like Leng Qin acting as locators here, the old gods they believe in may have already known what happened here.

Maybe on the way.

If the monster is released, there is no doubt that even if they don't die under the monster's hands, they will be dragged down, so that they will be killed by the old ruler who came behind.

Thinking of this, Xue Qian suddenly had doubts in his eyes.

Wait, something doesn't seem right.

The current situation is obvious to all, and everyone present knows that the music box is related to the owner of the voice.

In other words, no matter whether Leng Qin made that suggestion or not, he, Xue Qian, would not be able to open the box.

In this case, why should Leng Qin bother with it?

"Could it be that her purpose is not to let me open the box, but to not want me to open it?"

Xue Qian frowned deeply, and quickly denied this conjecture.

If Leng Qin does not want him to open it, then there is no need to make that suggestion, because he has no intention of opening the music box, so there is no thought of "he originally wanted to open it, but he refused to open it after hearing the 'suggestion'".

So, what is Leng Qin's intention in making that "suggestion"?
Xue Qian's brows had already twisted the word "Chuan", and Alia didn't even notice when she turned and left.

To open, or not to open?

Xue Qian is like a patient in the late stage of choice difficulty, it is difficult to make a decision, and he even feels a headache because of it.

If it is opened, it may fall into Leng Qin's trap, and if it is not opened, it is also possible.

"Damn it, if I knew this thing was so hot, I should have thrown it away just now."

When he remembered that this thing was forced into his hands by a certain idiot, Xue Qian couldn't help but glared at that person bitterly.

Xiong Zhan didn't know what Chief Xue was thinking, he just felt that he didn't do anything, and was shot while lying down for no reason.

"Did Shen Xiu say anything?"

Ignoring Xiong Zhan who was full of resentment, Xue Qian turned his head, wanting to ask Alia for more information about this music box.

But at this time Alia had disappeared without a trace.

Xue Qian could only sigh.

However, just halfway through the sigh, a sudden flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he realized Leng Qin's true intentions.

The reason why Lengqin made that "suggestion" was because she wanted him to open the box, but she didn't want him to open it.

In other words, it didn't matter whether he opened the music box or not. Leng Qin's main purpose was actually to make him confused and drag them here.

"Stinky boy, since you know what that woman's intentions are, why didn't you say it clearly, and let that girl say that you can open it or not, what a bastard."

Reminiscent of Shen Xiu's words from Alia just now, Xue Qian figured out Leng Qin's true intentions, and his whole demeanor changed all of a sudden.

No more hesitation, no more hesitation.

He made a decisive decision and asked Xiong Zhan to leave the woods with the others.

Although Xiong Zhan didn't understand why Xue Qian gave this order, he didn't question it as he always obeyed orders.

However, just as Xiong Zhan turned around and was about to take people away first, he suddenly thought of one thing.

"Xue Ju, where do you want me to take people?" Xiong Zhan asked weakly.

"Where else can I go, come back."

Xue Qian's eyes widened and he blurted out.

It's just that the word "camp" came to his lips, but he couldn't say it.

Yes, it is the world of darkness now, and outside of this forest, there is that strange time and space that makes people get lost.

If it is possible to stay here and rely on the relationship between Shen Xiu and the "angel" to gamble on the "angel's arrival" and save his life by chance, then leaving the forest to go to the world of the night, it is really dead.

Xue Qian's face couldn't help but become ugly.

"Could it be that the Tiandu Strange Affairs Bureau is going to be buried in my hands this time?"

Xue Qian frowned, turned around, and looked at the woods exposed to the strong light, trying to find Shen Xiu hidden in it.

But after some searching, they found nothing.

the other side.

Leng Qin has been watching every move of the opposite party from the time Aliya appeared to her departure.

When she saw the strange girl, she frowned slightly, feeling something.

But just when she was about to seize that feeling, Aliya quickly disappeared again.

Leng Qin couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Leng Yan behind her seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and whispered:

"She is Shen Xiu's daughter."

"Shen Xiu's daughter?"

Leng Qin was taken aback.

Since when did Shen Xiu have such a daughter?

Just when Leng Qin was in a daze, she didn't notice that Xue Qian outside the house had started to move.
