Thoughts cannot be transmitted through the air, and Suer had no idea how ridiculous the host's plan was at the moment.
The coffin lid was blown away and cracks appeared on the bricks on the ground.
Su Er picked up the stamp and the red string and glanced at the boss again. This time, Sister Zhang didn't play dumb. She screamed exaggeratedly and ran over, twisting her body. "What's going on?"
Su Er looked even more surprised than her: "The coffin suddenly exploded by itself! It almost hit me in the face."
Disfigurement is a big deal.
Sister Zhang looked at the face carefully, making sure it wasn't damaged, and patted her chest: "I just told you not to touch some things in the store, but you just wouldn't listen."
The latter sentence was said in a coquettish tone and with a wink.
Suer stood there calmly, but he was actually a little overwhelmed.
It looked like Sister Zhang genuinely liked his face, not caring about the damaged property. She even thought about taking the opportunity to touch his hand. Su Er turned around with a forced smile and pretended to admire the incense burner on the shelf: "It looks quite old."
"They're so valuable, they've practically wiped out my entire family," Sister Zhang said, spreading her hands. "And now I'm still in debt."
Su Er had long been curious about where the profits of this adult product store went. There was a small, separate room in the store where Sister Zhang lived and ate. She was particularly fond of beauty, but she was never seen wearing any makeup.
"Why buy it when it's so expensive?"
Sister Zhang dipped her finger into the incense ash and licked it, revealing a satisfied look: "These incense burners are from the Free Town. They can protect against all evil and help people make money."
Ji Heng, who had been silent the whole time, looked at the incense burner displayed on the shelf and suddenly said, "If you don't show off your wealth, you won't be afraid of thieves."
Su Er glanced at the other person and confirmed that someone had started to worry about him.
"It can't be stolen." Sister Zhang sniffed the scent of the incense ash intoxicatedly: "It's a part of me."
Hearing this, Su Er narrowed his eyes.
Miss Zhang missed the mockery in his eyes and said suggestively, "As long as you follow me well, you will have your share in the future."
Soul made a few compliments and tried to turn the topic to Liberty Town.
"I heard that no matter what your wish is, it will come true as long as you go there." Sister Zhang said with a fascinated look and longing, "It's a pity that I won't have the chance to go there in this lifetime."
Sur asked the reason.
Sister Zhang: "I'm afraid of death."
"…" Su Er tried his best to look curious.
Sister Zhang shook her head: "You can't tell me. If you tell me, you'll run away."
She was very tight-lipped and nothing could be learned from her.
Suer looked at Ji Heng and asked with his mouth what to do next?
Ji Heng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and calmly tied the rope that could withstand 30% of the ghosts' attacks to his own hands and Sul's hands, and then attacked Sister Zhang without any warning.
When it comes to sneak attacks, players sometimes do better than ghosts.
Ji Heng's fists seemed to be swinging carelessly, but Suer could feel that he was extremely serious at the moment and definitely did not underestimate the opponent in front of him.
Suer couldn't help but look at Sister Zhang again. This woman who seemed to be eager to get married and had a bloated body was able to avoid the attack in the first place.
It was the first time he saw Ji Heng's fist miss.
"I'm not fighting with anyone." Ji Heng said lightly.
Sur glanced around and realized that his real opponents were these mysterious incense burners.
Sister Zhang had no idea that she had been assimilated by the incense burners without her knowledge. Although she retained the ability to think independently, these incense burners could take over her body at any time if they wanted to.
Ji Heng glanced at Su Er: "Don't be distracted! Inhale!"
"…"
Ji Heng: "The incense burner is a dead object after all, you can't avoid it if you inhale it."
Sister Zhang had been consuming incense ash for years before she was able to control herself, but Su Er had no such concerns. She stood before the shelf, holding her breath and inhaling the fragrant, yin energy that made her head feel dizzy and heavy.
Sister Zhang tried several times to get over Ji Heng to stop him, but failed each time.
Sur took a few puffs and stopped only when his feet became a little unsteady.
The incense in the censer had burned at an alarming rate since he opened his mouth, and now it was only the length of a thumb. Sister Zhang was trapped and unable to continue burning incense, and the censer's effectiveness became less and less.
Having lost the protection of the incense burner, Sister Zhang had no choice but to surrender.
She looked at Su Er angrily: "I am so devoted to you, and you actually teamed up with outsiders to plot against me!"
Su Er was silent for a moment, untied the red string on his hand, went to get some water, soaked a tissue and wiped Ji Heng's face, and helped him push the hair away from his forehead. Then he responded to Sister Zhang: "Are you still infatuated with me now?"
Compared to the young man's more tender face, Sister Zhang obviously prefers deep and mature features. She swallowed her saliva and transferred all her love to Ji Heng: "As long as you are good to me, I..."
Ji Heng interrupted directly: "Tell us everything you know. If you say too little or say it wrong..." He pointed to the coffin: "It will provide eternal peace."
Hearing the threatening words, Sister Zhang's eyes changed, but in the end, saving her own life was the first priority, so she backed down.
"If you want to go to Freetown, you have to take the coffin carried by the pallbearers..."
Su Er couldn't help but ask: "Does everyone know about the existence of the coffin bearers?"
Sister Zhang rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Have you lost your memory? It's no secret. The guides will secretly hand out stamps, and some of them are real and some are fake."
What she said was basically the same information the players knew, the only difference being that when she mentioned the guides, Sister Zhang's eyes gleamed with greed: "Actually, the most direct method is to capture the guides and steal the stamps from them."
Su Er's expression remained unchanged, but he remembered the narrow encounter with the host that night. If he guessed correctly, the host played the role of a guide in the game.
After finishing her words in one breath, Sister Zhang repeatedly assured that this was all she knew.
Su Er looked at Ji Heng: "Do you believe it?"
Ji Heng glanced at Sister Zhang coldly: "Where did you buy the incense burner?"
Sister Zhang's eyes flickered, and her words became unclear: "Use connections..."
Ji Heng didn't give her a chance to finish her words. He threw her into the coffin and covered it with a board.
There were crazy hammering and shouting sounds coming from inside. Ji Heng asked Suer to close the door and hang up a closed sign.
Sensing he wasn't going to leave anyone alive, Sister Zhang's voice was clearly heard through the heavy coffin: "It really was someone from the Administration Bureau who introduced me to this seller through connections!"
He roared to emphasize that this time he had really told the whole story.
Su Er: "Will you let him go?"
Ji Heng: "Let her calm down a bit."
Ji Heng slowly opened the coffin lid when the sounds inside became weaker and weaker. Sister Zhang's face turned red due to lack of oxygen, and she immediately took a deep breath when she saw the light of day again.
"You can tell the Administration Bureau what just happened, but..." Ji Heng's eyes became fierce: "You will definitely die then."
Sister Zhang's forehead was covered in sweat, and she didn't dare to climb out of the coffin for a moment.
As they were about to leave, Suer asked, "Are you not taking the incense burner with you?"
Ji Heng: "They are just a trick to fool people. There is not much use in keeping them."
Sur took one last look back at the adult store. Although he had ruined the supplier's future, it wasn't a loss as he had gotten the stamps.
Near noon, Ji Heng originally planned to have lunch, but suddenly changed his mind and decided to go to the Family Mediation Office to meet Wang Sansi.
Halfway through the journey, the weather changed and a strong wind began to blow. Suer saw a stamp among the fallen leaves blown by the wind.
"Ignore it." Ji Heng was very principled: "Things that come to you on their own initiative are probably not good."
Suer took this to heart and walked forward without looking around.
The ghost inside the stamp was anxious, as it had a mission: to create a romantic illusion for the two. However, the illusion could only be set when a player picked it up, making it essentially a passive skill.
If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. The stamp simply took the initiative and flew along the wind to the path ahead of them.
Sur did a pretty good job of ignoring it, avoiding being scammed. He carefully put his hands in his pockets, stepped over it, and continued on his way.
stamp:"..."
Are you blind!
·
The blood had coagulated, and after resting for half a morning, Xiazhi was able to walk.
Unable to sit and wait for death, she secretly made up her mind that she must try her luck in the coffin tonight.
Wang Sansi poured a glass of water and handed it over. Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps and immediately turned around.
"Is it you?"
He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Ji Heng and Suer didn't seize the time to collect stamps, but came back at this critical juncture.
Ji Heng got straight to the point: "What did the game prompt say when you first arrived?"
Wang Sansi was stunned for a moment and answered truthfully that it was just a group of people going to the Free Town.
The group includes family mediators, newlyweds, bachelors, and wives who have been abused.
After making sure all players heard the same thing, Ji Heng asked again, "Is the player who plays the newlywed couple dead or alive?"
"Stay alive." Wang Sansi was a little uncertain: "People here are very gossipy. If someone dies, the news will spread quickly."
Ji Heng: "With your identity, you should be able to find out their address."
Wang Sansi was secretly on guard.
Ji Heng said calmly: "Gather the players and try to join forces."
Wang Sansi frowned: "What do you mean?"
Ji Heng: "You guys make some noise tonight to attract attention. I'll take the opportunity to kill one of the coffin bearers."
Wang Sansi was startled, but before he could refuse, Ji Heng said, "I have a disguise prop that can disguise me as a coffin bearer."
Once everything goes well, just follow the person in front of you and you will know where they are going.
The words of refusal came to his lips but he couldn't say them, so Wang Sansi admitted that this was indeed a solution.
"The risk is too great," Su Er interjected with a frown, "We don't know the opponent's strength yet. It's not easy to kill a coffin bearer without anyone noticing."
Ji Heng smiled: "Just testing the waters."
Wang Sansi quickly said, "This risk is worth taking."
So far, as far as he knew, six players had died, and it would be difficult to complete the mission using normal methods.
Su Er snorted lightly: "You don't have to take this risk."
Wang Sansi was embarrassed and couldn't find any words to refute.
Su Er's eyes flickered as he thought of something, and his tone suddenly became sincere: "Actually, I have an idea."
He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Since there's something else in the coffin, with people living and dying, and we can also get props, why don't we just grab it?"
Wang Sansi opened his mouth wide: "I can't beat him..."
Soul: "If you can't win, you can run away."
Even Xia Zhi couldn't help but shake his head: "In a horror battle royale, how can anyone outrun a ghost?"
Su Er looked at her: "The coffin is the key point. Do you think the coffin bearers will abandon the coffin and chase you? Or carry the coffin to kill people?"
"…" This sentence stumped everyone.
Sur: "We'll set up an ambush in advance. If one bearer goes after them and the other remains where they are, we'll turn back and attack one of them together. If both bearers go after them, it'll be even easier. We can use the time difference to carry the coffin away. Even if they remain silent, we won't lose anything."
"Everyone must spread out when escaping," Su Er said after a brief pause, spreading his hands. "Of course, being chased by the coffin bearers will be very dangerous. It all depends on one's fate. In short, we have only one goal... to seize the coffin!"
Xia Zhi took a deep breath and said, "What if the player being chased is weak and is killed instantly?"
Suer thought for a moment and said, "Each person hands in one item. We'll focus on one player. When they escape, they'll deliberately slow down a little to attract the coffin bearers."
Krypton gold can always last for a while.
Xia Zhi frowned and said hesitantly, "I don't think the players will be willing."
Props are used to save lives after all. Who would do this deal if they have to risk their lives to get the props?
Su Er was very decisive: "If no one else goes, I'll go."
Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. He also has an electric shock device, so he may give it his all. He may even be able to take several props for himself at once.
After making a decision, Su Er turned his head and asked Ji Heng: "What do you think of this plan?"
"I think..." Ji Heng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. After analysis, he came to the conclusion: "This copy is about to collapse."
