"Hu Tao, why are you here?"
Su Yuan looked at Hu Tao, a bit anxious, and asked:
"Didn't I tell you not to meet with Qiqi just in case?"
"Hehe, as the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral, how could I not worry!"
Hu Tao chuckled and said:
"But the fact now proves that when I see Qiqi, it doesn't seem like anything bad happens!"
"Speaking of which, so this is what Qiqi looks like after becoming 'Eerie'…"
"I didn't expect that Qiqi would even show this kind of expression and say those kinds of words…"
"Also, even though she's been tainted and controlled by the Eerie power, she's still so afraid of me?"
"Could this be a kind of restraint, like a bloodline suppression?"
That's right, Su Yuan also noticed this detail.
Even though Qiqi had fallen into the Eerie state, she still feared Hu Tao…
And now that Hu Tao and Qiqi have met, nothing bad seems to have happened.
Maybe Hu Tao's Eerie transformation condition has nothing to do with Qiqi…
Right now, Hu Tao is the key to breaking the deadlock!
"Hu Tao! Since Qiqi is showing fear and dread of you, you need to find a way to get behind her and hug her, saying something like 'I really like you.' Maybe that will break Qiqi's Eerie state!"
Su Yuan hurriedly reminded her:
"But be careful, even though Qiqi seems afraid of you, if you push her too hard, she might do something reckless…"
Then Su Yuan quickly thought of something else and continued:
"It's not just about hugging her and saying a phrase — the feelings of liking Qiqi must be genuine and heartfelt…"
"No worries, Su Yuan…" Hu Tao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I really do like Qiqi very much."
With that, Hu Tao slowly approached Qiqi…
And Qiqi looked tense, staring at Hu Tao as she spoke:
"Hu Tao… I have no grudge or hatred against you. Why do you always pick on me and target me everywhere???"
"Oh dear, ever since being corrupted by the Eerie power, Qiqi, you don't stutter anymore and even speak faster. I'm really liking you more and more…"
Hu Tao continued speaking: "After all, I haven't held a funeral for a zombie yet…"
She then looked at Tartaglia, who was lying in a pool of blood, and smiled as she said:
"How wonderful, today it's a buy-one-get-one-free deal…"
Hearing this, Su Yuan, Baizhu, and Zhongli all frowned slightly.
They all felt that Hu Tao seemed a bit strange right now…
This was such a tense and serious situation, so why did Hu Tao still have the mood to joke here?
"Hu Tao… don't push things too far!!!"
Seeing Hu Tao advancing step by step, getting closer and closer, Qiqi let out an angry roar and unleashed a large amount of Eerie power all over her body, pressing down on Hu Tao!
Su Yuan and Baizhu suddenly felt their bodies regain some movement, but Zhongli was still firmly controlled…
Su Yuan guessed that maybe Qiqi thought he and Baizhu weren't much of a threat to her, so she directed most of her Eerie power to suppress her "natural enemy" Hu Tao…
In the next moment, Hu Tao's body stiffened, motionless…
She showed a somewhat panicked expression and exclaimed:
"What's going on? Why can't I move at all???"
Su Yuan frowned again, feeling that Hu Tao's expression was a bit exaggerated, but still explained:
"This is Qiqi using Eerie power to suppress your body and movements. We were just immobilized like this too…"
"Hu Tao… prepare to meet your end…"
Qiqi slowly spoke:
"Your sudden appearance just now startled me, my body stiffened again…"
"Once I finish a set of stretches to loosen up, I will conquer the nightmare in my heart and completely finish you off…"
Saying that, Qiqi began doing her stretches again…
"Su Yuan, it's now or never, there's no other chance — I have to act!!!"
Baizhu spoke to Su Yuan:
"Now that Qiqi has started doing her stretches again, even if it's not guaranteed to succeed 100%, I have to get around behind her and hug her to release her from the eerie control!"
However, the next moment, something neither Su Yuan nor Baizhu expected happened—Hu Tao's body moved first!
She suddenly dashed forward at high speed, quickly got behind Qiqi, and hugged her tightly!
Qiqi's surprised expression proved she hadn't anticipated this at all…
Not only Qiqi, but even Su Yuan, Baizhu, and Zhongli couldn't understand how Hu Tao could move freely despite Qiqi's full force eerie power suppression.
Combining this with Hu Tao's strange behavior earlier, a sudden thought struck Su Yuan's mind—could it be…
Then, Hu Tao's twisted face and the eerie power radiating from her body unmistakably confirmed this suspicion…
Hu Tao had actually been pretending all along!
But when exactly was she taken over and controlled by the eerie force?
Was it when she first entered the room, or during the battle outside against the Zombie soldiers, or even earlier???
"Qiqi!!! Mua~ I really like you so much!!! For you, I will kill everyone here and die with you!!!"
The "Hu Tao" who hugged Qiqi from behind suddenly shouted loudly…
Then, the talisman on Qiqi's forehead began to float on its own in the windless room, emitting bursts of light…
"Unbelievable, Director Hu actually succeeded…"
Baizhu watched this scene and said:
"This is the sign that the command has been lifted…"
Su Yuan swallowed nervously and said:
"But now, the problem is no longer Qiqi…"
"Hu Tao said she will kill everyone present here and die together with Qiqi…"
"What… what is going on here…"
Qiqi returned to her normal self, looking confused as she said:
"What happened... why am I... here...?"
"Oh no... Hu Tao, why are you behind me... and hugging me...?"
"This is bad, Hu Tao caught me, I'm going to get buried..."
"Doctor Bai... help me..."
"If I'm really going to get buried... before that happens, I really want to drink coconut milk one more time..."
Since Qiqi had recovered from the eerie state, the strange power suppressing Zhongli naturally dissipated as well…
Zhongli, holding his white tassel spear, charged straight toward "Hu Tao"!
"Oh my, Guest Consultant Zhongli, in such a hurry? A mere subordinate dares to make a move against their superior…"
Watching Zhongli rushing toward her, "Hu Tao" chuckled and said:
"Well then... let me send you off first!"
