Su Mei's favorite thing to do is to use tricks to stir up suspicion among humans and then make them kill each other.
Seeing everyone on guard against each other, he stood outside the temple and watched with great interest. His overly bright eyes made this beauty bloom even more vividly.
It was expected to take quite some time to recover. Su Er turned and looked at Ji Heng: "You taught me not to be bound by rules."
In the Wudu dungeon, all players were struggling to keep up the pace, except for Ji Heng, who used a simple, brute-force method to push the voting time forward. Now, Su Er was learning and applying it immediately, striving to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
His gaze first turned to Song Jiayue on the far right: "Three long and one short..."
Song Jiayue was stunned for a moment: "Choose the shortest?"
Su Er looked at the person next to her again: "Three short and one long..."
Li Li: "...Choose the longest one."
Su Er nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask the next question: "Two long and two short..."
"ha?"
Not everyone knows the formula for multiple-choice questions. To avoid accidental injury, Su Er asked again: "Five years for the college entrance examination, three years for what?"
The doubt in that person's brow still did not dissipate: "Ah?"
Almost as soon as the question was uttered, a nearby player shouted, "Kill!"
Wei Jun was the fastest to act, and Song Jiayue, who was a step slower than him, also acted without hesitation. Another man was so frightened that he threw the prop directly.
Experienced players know how to seize the opportunity best. Everything happened so quickly that even Sur did not expect them to be so decisive.
The scene was chaotic, and Sur quickly realized that the best way to deal with monsters was to take them by surprise.
Actually, Wei Jun still had a trick up his sleeve. After all, it was only a matter of seconds, so it was possible that the man simply froze and couldn't answer. However, his actions looked extremely ruthless, and a killing move was about to happen. Su Mei outside the door cried out, "Sister, be careful!"
"Idiot." The besieged white fox completely gave up its disguise, revealing a long and thick fox tail, with murderous intent in its eyes.
Su Er lacked strength, so the only thing he could do was stay away and stay out of the way. He had seen foxes at the zoo, and they had a unique delicacy. However, fox spirits were not as beautiful and soft as one might imagine. Each hair on their tails was like a steel needle, and if they were struck by a person, they would definitely be cut in two on the spot.
Ji Heng stopped Su Mei at the door and was too busy to protect him.
Both sides were fighting, and to avoid being hurt, Sur dodged nimbly. However, the white fox, whose identity was exposed, seemed to hate him and repeatedly tried to break through the encirclement and kill Sur.
"Who did I offend?"
Su Er was forced to retreat repeatedly. No matter how powerful the players were, few could stand up to the ghosts, let alone two cunning spirits. No one could come to his aid at this moment. As he was about to reach a corner, he suddenly shouted, "Kill the sister first! She's even more destructive to the country!"
Wei Jun glanced at him and winked at Song Jiayue, who withdrew from the battle circle and began to attack Su Mei. Wei Jun deliberately took out a prop and pretended to be ready to use it.
Seeing the number of its attackers dwindle, the white fox glanced at the talisman in his hand. It flicked its tail, and while the distance between them was widening, it transformed back into its original form and instantly vanished into the dense forest like a flash of silver lightning.
"What a touching 'sisterhood'!" Su Er pretended to be emotional.
When Su Mei saw her sister running away and then found herself being surrounded, she lost her previous composure.
Sur ignored the battle situation and rushed to the door to snatch the jade pendant from the little wild fox's mouth. As he expected, the little wild fox had no intelligence and only subconsciously submitted to a more powerful species and would obey the white fox's command.
When Su Mei wanted to tell it to run away, it was too late.
"You bastard!" The second before she was seriously injured, the look she gave to Su Er was the same as when the scholar died, fierce and resentful.
Su Er's throat moved and he reminded her, "It wasn't me who hit you."
Su Mei seemed to hate him: "I will become a ghost..."
Before she could finish her harsh words, Ji Heng interrupted her: "I can't do it for now." He picked up a sharp stone and scratched her waist and abdomen. Dark red blood flowed out. Su Mei could no longer hold on and turned into her original form.
The blood had an unimaginable stench, and Sur even felt nauseous.
Ji Heng explained, "Most spirits cultivate by devouring their own kind or consuming human yang energy, and their blood is extremely foul and smelly." He paused and glanced at the little white fox lying on the ground. "I don't want to go to Tianji City, as you wish."
The Yin energy in her body was lost in large quantities. Running to Tianji City now was tantamount to seeking death. While shuddering, Su Mei wished she could cut these people into pieces.
Su Er suddenly asked, "Where is the person disguised as the white fox now?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Ji Heng shook his head slightly, and Suer knew that it was a dangerous situation.
Wei Jun had some recollection of the missing person: Li Tian, the youngest member of the team besides Su Er. With a soft sigh, he asked, "Does anyone remember the divine fortuneteller's prediction about Li Tian?"
Everyone looked at each other, occasionally talking in low voices. With so many players coming this time, no one would bother to pay attention to other people's calculation results.
Song Jiayue laughed awkwardly and pointed at Su Er: "I just remember his fate."
One player quickly nodded in agreement: "Me too."
"…"
Su Er looked at Ji Heng, who did not disappoint him and said slowly: "The bitter wind and rain will leave no place for burial."
After Su Mei transformed into her original form, she still sneered in human language: "Wow! Pretty accurate!"
Hearing this, Song Jiayue wanted to go up and kick her, but she held back because of her natural fear of dirty things.
They had to go to Tianji City. Song Jiayue looked at Cao Le, who had not yet woken up from his coma, and asked, "What should we do with him?"
Wei Jun closed his eyes and said, "After daybreak, we'll find a place in the city to settle them down. The rest depends on luck."
Given Cao Ledao's current condition, even if he wakes up, he will be very weak. I can help take care of him on a daily basis, but who would sacrifice themselves for him if he really encountered danger?
Su Er didn't say much. All he could do was pray that Cao Ledao would have the same good luck as Bai Yan in Wu Du and win the whole process without any effort.
The night still had some time to go, and with Su Mei around, everyone spoke with caution. Su Er had wanted to close his eyes and rest, but being stared at with hatred was unbearable. In the end, he simply knocked Su Mei unconscious and leaned back to rest, feeling somewhat at ease.
Li Li witnessed his brutal behavior and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid?"
Soul opened his sleepy eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm more afraid of something."
What he truly feared was his inability to grieve over his parents' passing. This wasn't a lack of emotion; it was almost a loss of humanity. At least in his memory, his parents had never treated him harshly.
Everyone has secrets that they don't want to be explored. Li Li smiled apologetically.
At this time, Song Jiayue suddenly said: "I heard Wanyi talk about you."
A trillion?
Sur's sleepiness dissipated a little.
Song Jiayue: "We are from the same organization."
Su Er raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the overall strength of the world was very strong. At least the two people he had met so far, Shen Jiangbei and Wan Yi, were both very powerful.
Song Jiayue: "Your method of passing the level is very unique."
The other players listened to their conversation with their ears perked up. They were also very curious about Sur, of course, they were mainly interested in how he got achievement points.
Su Er said calmly, "My political science teacher often said that we should be good at grasping the essence of things. What do you think the essence of games is?"
"Fear? Death?"
Song Jiayue gave several answers in a row, and Su Erju shook his head.
At this moment, even Wei Jun looked up at him.
Su Er said seriously: "It's the scale. The scale must be large."
"…"
Su Er: "Don't forget why "Seven Days and Seven Nights" was banned. It was because of excessive pornographic descriptions."
Song Jiayue hesitated and asked, "Is that... true?"
Many players had attempted to investigate the book "Seven Days and Seven Nights," some of which had a significant background in reality, but all had come to nothing. She wanted to refute it, but she didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Su Er was completely awake and looked at the others with interest: "Who has read this book?"
They all shook their heads.
Song Jiayue: "How can you be sure that the book was banned because it was too explicit?"
Rhetorical questions can answer all questions. Su Er said confidently: "What evidence do you have to confirm that this is not the reason?"
"…"
In fact, Su Er was also quite puzzled. It was as if everyone knew about the book "Seven Days and Seven Nights" overnight, and his memory told him from the beginning that it was a censored text.
"Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth." Suer pointed to his badge. "The achievement points on it are the best proof of this."
Then he began to give full examples and arguments, especially the ghost king Zhou Linjun, who was dragged out and whipped several times. Su Er vividly described the benefits of ghost marriage.
As the players' faces turned pale with confusion, Wei Jun, one of the few who remained sober, whispered to Ji Heng, "Is this considered brainwashing?"
Few people would believe the result at first glance; evidence presented step by step is the most convincing.
Ji Heng discovered a long time ago that Suer's understanding of the game might be biased. He placed his index finger on the center of his lips and made a silencing gesture, signaling Wei Jun not to point it out. At least for now, this understanding would help Suer gradually relieve the pressure.
Wei Jun pondered: "Why don't we modify this and put it in the brochure?"
Ji Heng gave him a very complicated look.
Wei Jun: "Some new players get so frightened they can't even think when they hear anything horror-related. This might increase their chances of survival."
However, the wording must be chosen carefully, so that players remain in awe, but not too recklessly to the point of failure.
Ji Heng shook his head slightly and did not comment on this new idea.
At daybreak, the players packed up and prepared to leave.
The sky cleared up after the rain, and the air outside was very nice. After Su Mei transformed into her original form, the last bit of her beauty was gone, leaving only the unpleasant smell of injury. Now that they were exposed to the clear air, everyone couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.
Two players carried Cao Ledao, and Ji Heng was responsible for carrying the injured white fox, preparing to sell it in the city for a good price.
As they were walking down the mountain, Wei Jun and Su Er walked at the back, discussing the compilation of the pamphlet. "History has both official and unofficial history. We can also work together to compile a pamphlet 2.0."
As for whether to borrow and how much to borrow, it all depends on the players themselves.
Soul: "Whatever, but the publisher shouldn't write my name."
Wei Jun: "Why?"
He is the main source of material.
Su Er said quietly: "Good deeds should not leave a name behind."
After all, in the eyes of players, what they see in the end may not be official history or unofficial history, but their own love history.
