[BL] The Heavenly Master of Earning Money [Crossing Book] (Part 02)

Chapter 222 - Like the Taste [06]

When Qi Yunjing woke up, he found that he was on an open air altar, a stone platform about 2 meters above the ground. Behind it was a black stone pillar engraved with strange runes. Qi Yunjing was tied to this stone pillar.

He tried to rely on his sense of touch to see if he could tell what kind of incantation it was, but unfortunately he could not match the lines he felt with any of the spells in the books collected by his grandfather in the study. 

And this stone pillar seemed to be constantly changing. There was also a cold air permeated out of it, and Qi Yunjing could clearly feel that the energy he had finally cultivated was being eaten away by this cold air.

Under the altar, the ground seemed to be dug out in a strange formation. The formation was quite large. He didn't know what was going on behind him, but everywhere he could see, there was a strange formation. 

They were people who were also tied to black stone pillar, but these people were kneeling on the ground, with a red thread tied on their naked chests. The red thread seemed to dig into the human flesh, and the tied people looked dull, as if they had lost their soul. 

He even saw the person in charge of the resort who was sitting with him in the meeting just now in the crowd in front of him.

Qi Yunjing felt it carefully. He seemed to have lost contact with Wen Ran. In order to enter the game together, Wen Ran tied a specially refined spiritual tool to him. Since then, there has been an invisible connection between him and Wen Ran. 

Even if they are far apart, as long as he meditates quietly, he will have the feeling that Wen Ran is by his side. But now, this feeling is broken, which makes Qi Yunjing slightly panicked. 

What he is panicking about is not his situation at this moment, but whether the person behind this is targeting him or Wen Ran, and whether Wen Ran is safe now.

Just as Qi Yunjing was trying to gather strength and use the Po Zi spell to break free from his bonds, a cloud of mist gathered around his feet, gradually revealing the appearance of a man wearing a cloak. 

It was unclear whether this was a human or non-human being. The face is covered by the cloak, and only the mouth and chin can be seen. The skin that was exposed is covered with black runes that seem to grow from the flesh. There was also strange and evil atmosphere.

The cloaked man glanced at Qi Yunjing, and could tell at a glance that he was gathering strength. He just laughed softly, as if laughing at Qi Yunjing's overestimation of his abilities, and said in a hoarse voice with a touch of gentleness and elegance: "Don't waste your strength."

Qi Yunjing's eyes were calm and he asked in a cold voice: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

The cloaked man ignored Qi Yunjing and just touched the black ring on his hand gently, raising his head slightly to look at the foggy sky. He seems to be waiting for something, and the figure standing on the edge of the altar has an inexplicable sense of loneliness with the weight of time.

Qi Yunjing asked, "Are you Qu Ruotong?" 

The eldest son of the Qu family was a strange young man who died inexplicably in the Guild prison. However, Wen Ran said that he had an intuition that Qu Ruotong was not dead. Now, Qi Yunjing felt that the person in front of him was probably Qu Ruotong.

The cloaked man smiled silently: "Although your existence ruined my plan, it doesn't matter, because I have found a better choice. Qi Yunjing, do you still remember what you said before reincarnation?" 

Qi Yunjing said: "What I said before reincarnation."

The cloaked man slowly approached Qi Yunjing, and gently touched his eyebrows with his cold and white fingertips: "You said that if there is an afterlife, you hope you can live an ordinary life and experience joy, anger, and sorrow as ordinary person."
