The speaker has his intention, and the listener also has his intention.
Su Er, who also witnessed the death scene of the Tengshe Cave Master and followed Princess Camellia secretly, was thoughtful... Family property?
He had conquered a kingdom in the past, but when he left the game, even his badge was confiscated. I don't know if the bottle that collected the ghost tears is still there.
He was cheating at the time and was risking his life to collect tolls.
Thinking of this, Su immediately felt that he should go talk to the loyal servant guarding the tomb.
After being upgraded through the game, one could easily achieve telescope-like vision. Confirming that Rose Gentleman and the clay figurine were not far apart and would soon reunite, Soul decided to leave. Even if Camellia Princess later went mad and attacked the clay figurine, with the rebound spell, Rose Gentleman could easily arrive at the slightest sign of trouble.
Although her ability was sealed, her basic perception was still there. After making sure that Sur had left, Princess Camellia slightly raised the corners of her mouth and prepared to attack the clay figure.
The possibility of a single kill is extremely low, but being able to waste a rose item is beneficial to the final victory.
He clenched his left fist and prepared to strike back with all his strength, but he did not see the smile that also appeared on the clay man's face.
At the critical moment, the ground beneath their feet suddenly became incredibly soft, and the force originally intended to attack the clay figure instantly hit the ground. However, there was no sign of the monster being hit, but instead a temporary crater was blasted into the ground.
Princess Camellia frowned, and before she could check her ankle, a slender hand bone grabbed it and dragged it down forcefully.
In this situation, it is impossible to maintain basic sense of balance unless the hand bones are cut off with one blow.
Princess Camellia might be a bitch, but she was probably in the top five of these hosts for rationality. Realizing that the more she struggled, the faster she would sink, she simply gave up and carefully observed her surroundings.
"It's useless." When only the head of the Camellia Princess was left on the ground, the last clay figurine looked down at him condescendingly: "You're stepping on someone else's grave. That's rude."
Princess Camellia was startled, and then she realized that the soil around her was indeed more bulging than other places. Her attention was all focused on the clay man and Sul, and she did not notice this abnormality.
"Damn it."
He felt extremely depressed. This was simply a huge pit!
A normal person would not notice that this is a grave mound. At most, it is only three or four centimeters higher than the ground. It seems that the deceased was buried hastily during his lifetime.
The dirt had risen to the tip of her nose. Princess Camellia was out of breath and her face flushed red.
The last clay figure ignored his pain, looked forward with a grim expression, and said, "I caught the fish."
Gentleman Rose carefully avoided stepping on the grave soil and looked down at the Camellia Princess, who only had a pair of eyes left. He said, "You clay figure is walking around alone. Have you ever thought about why?"
Princess Camellia wanted to curse, but as soon as she opened her mouth, dirt poured into her body. The pain she felt before her death was even more intense than that of the Teng Snake Cave Master.
Dongfengju was not very convenient in a wheelchair, so he came a little later.
Despite feeling suffocated, Princess Camellia's mind was still working. Why did Rose Gentleman have to stare at her? If he was talking about a mortal enemy, he should have gone to the loyal tomb-guardian!
No, since this is fishing, it doesn't matter which fish you catch. Abandoning the mission and attacking your colleagues, is that...
grass!
Princess Camellia finally understood what the other party was planning. They wanted to reduce the difficulty of the dungeon by hunting down all the other people.
No wonder he chose to work with the lazy Dongfeng Monk; even if the latter knew the full plan, he would be happy to help. After all, following Rose Gentleman allowed him to stay alive for a while longer without having to think too much, which perfectly suited Xianyu's lifestyle.
"Damn..." He couldn't help but open his mouth again, but no sound came out, instead it accelerated the death process.
Not long after, Princess Camellia completely disappeared. At the same time, the ground shook and a dull sound came from the ground, like the closing of a coffin lid.
"Look." Mr. Dongfeng leaned forward and squinted at a crack that suddenly appeared.
After a rumbling sound, a stone tablet emerged from the gap, with the outline of the Camellia Princess printed on it.
Dongfeng Jushi: "This location is roughly the same as the location for the deceased's portrait."
Gentleman Rose looked at the strange-looking portrait and said, "I wonder if the identity we are setting for this scene is human or ghost."
Dongfeng Jushi leaned back against the wheel, uninterested in exploring the dungeon. He casually offered the most likely scenario: "We are all wandering ghosts, having forgotten the fact of our own death. Therefore, in the cemetery, avoid approaching tombstones without words or graves without tombstones at all."
Gentleman Rose nodded. "These graves are here to catch us."
After he finished saying this, a caring call suddenly came from underground: "Go home—go home quickly—"
Mr. Yue's expression changed slightly, and he quickly evacuated Mr. Dongfeng, pushing him. Arriving at a relatively wide area, he looked around and fell into deep thought.
The mountain was too large, and even with a clay figure exploring the path, it would still be dangerous to go down one mountain after another. The safest way was to reduce the difficulty. Looking back at all the people who came this time, the easy ones had already formed an alliance.
"Who should I start with..."
Dongfeng Jushi actually answered his soliloquy: "Just Pu Liu."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Mr. Yueji's face: "A good choice."
It's a pity that Suer left early and missed their discussion, otherwise he could have watched "The Realm of Conscience" for free.
Using the temporary space teleportation ability granted by the game, Sur quickly found the loyal tomb-keeper who teamed up with the smiling merchant. They had just played a rock-paper-scissors game with a ghost and obtained some crucial information.
However, the smiling businessman did not go directly to the location provided by the ghost. Instead, he blocked the fortune teller who also obtained the information.
Like other copies, this game prohibits killing each other, but for experienced hosts, it is easy to kill people by exploiting the rules.
Seeing that they were not hesitant to block the way, the fortune teller sighed softly: "It seems that I have triggered some kind of death condition."
The smiling businessman spoke frankly: "Not necessarily. But there are paper money buried in the soil under your feet."
This was seen through the prop "ox eyes" of the loyal tomb guardians. It is easy to imagine that something bad will happen if you step on it, so they specially calculated the distance so that people who come will stop unconsciously.
All the props that the fortune teller brought were related to divination, and all three were used to calculate the location. He originally wanted to try his best to find Zhao Shinan's grave before anyone else, but he was still a step late.
The paper money broke through the constraints of the land and began to burn. The flames were about four or five feet wide and the temperature was enough to melt steel. There was no doubt that the fortune teller was quickly crushed to ashes.
Looking at this scene with satisfaction, the two did not leave immediately. The loyal tomb-guarding servant continued to use props to search for possible death trigger points.
Soul appeared at this moment: "What are you two doing?"
The loyal servant guarding the tomb was busy with the task at hand and didn't react much to his appearance: "As you can see, he is trying to trick people."
Originally, that trap was meant for Gentleman Rose.
Sur asked a concerned question: "Did you get the tear bottles you collected earlier?"
The loyal servant guarding the tomb seemed to have discovered something. He looked at the grave covered with weeds in the distance and was in a good mood. He answered his question and nodded.
In fact, the other party was the only player with a sense of contract and collected enough ghost tears as agreed.
Soul was curious: "What's the use of that thing if it's full?"
"Summoning Bottle, a high-level item that can summon a demon with the bottle."
Su Er felt like he had missed something: "And then help the master realize his wish?"
The loyal tomb-guarding servant looked at him in surprise, then said with a smile, "What nonsense! It will naturally eat the one who summoned it."
Su Er frowned: "Since it is a prop, it must be useful."
"The purpose is to perish together," the loyal tomb-guarding servant said calmly, "The demon will eat the first three beings it sees, whether human or ghost."
As he spoke, a bottle appeared in his hand.
Su Er's eyelids jumped: "You don't want to..."
The loyal servant guarding the grave said in an expectant tone, "Yueji is dead for sure." Suddenly, the tip of his ear twitched, "Just as I said."
He turned to the smiling merchant and said, "Remember to give me the 1,000 strands of Yin Qi I promised you. Also, if you go to the southeast grave with the tallest weeds, you'll die."
The smiling businessman nodded: "Goodbye."
Sur looked at the back of the loyal tomb-keeper and rubbed his brows. He knew that he would soon receive death notices from the loyal tomb-keepers, Mr. Rose and Mr. Dongfeng.
The smiling businessman who stayed where he was sent the location of the death trap to someone. Soon, Mr. Shuhai and a man wearing a hat came over. At the critical moment, Mr. Shuhai deliberately fell half a step behind. The person walking in front had just realized that something was wrong when he was buried by the overwhelming yellow earth.
Seeing this scene, Su Er was very touched: "Come to think of it, I still don't know his name."
As the last host that Su Er had contact with, the mysterious man disguised himself as a statue at that event. When the hosts gathered, Su Er deliberately avoided him out of guilt after learning of his identity.
But right now he was more interested in something else.
Sur looked at the smiling businessman with a meaningful look.
At first, the smiling merchant looked at him calmly, but later he made a "two-eight" gesture with his hands. There were some things that Suer definitely couldn't use, but that didn't mean he couldn't leave them to others.
After a moment, Su Er finally opened his mouth: "Clay figurine, Zhu Yun."
The smiling businessman understood his hint and gave an 'ok' sign.
It was almost noon, and the mountain was covered with short trees, making it very hot.
Su Er didn't plan to stand in this open space for too long and turned to find some shade. It happened that Mr. Shu Hai was walking towards him, ready to meet up with the smiling merchant. As they passed each other, Su Er said meaningfully, "Scholar."
Mr. Shuhai glanced at him and said, "You are also a scholar."
In the past, when Su Er was plotting to do evil, he was never soft-hearted.
·
Although the mountain is full of graves, the environment is surprisingly good. At least the sky here is quite open.
Suer sat down and leaned against a tree, ready to take a nap, lamenting that he had never discovered Mr. Shuhai's cunning in the past.
There's only one possible reason why the Smiling Merchant delayed completing the mission after receiving the information: he was trying to capitalize on it. If I'm not mistaken, Gou Baopu had already exploited the curiosity of the outside world before the game began, setting up a gambling game. Gentleman Rose has a good chance of winning, so many people are betting on him. The Smiling Merchant's decision to help Mr. Shuhai win suggests he wasn't being oppressed by a ghost.
"It's not surprising when you think about it..." Su Er closed his eyes a little sleepily and muttered like a dream: "Master Dongfeng and Mr. Shuhai probably have no ghosts who dare to suppress them."
The former is extremely lazy, while the latter wanders around various dungeons all year round in the state of a detached scholar, preventing other ghosts from even developing the gambler mentality of wanting to take a gamble.
Now that Mr. Dongfeng has teamed up with Mr. Rose, the Smiling Merchant can only help Mr. Shuhai win.
However, the prerequisite for the success of the plan is that Mr. Shuhai must cooperate. The smiling businessman has so many little tricks that it is impossible for him not to notice them, so the two must have reached another agreement in private.
Su Er suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky: "But how are they going to deal with the Blue Lotus Sage..."
As a highly intelligent being, the Qinglian Sage is not someone to be trifled with.
Curiosity made him decide to take a look over.
Only three hosts were left alive. Not long ago, the loyal servant guarding the tomb found the moment when Mr. Rose was about to kill Mr. Pu Liu and was relaxed, and summoned the devil to take Mr. Dongfeng with him.
At this moment, at a fork in the road, the Smiling Merchant, Mr. Shuhai and the Green Lotus Sage met on a narrow road.
The Smiling Face Merchant went crazy for some unknown reason, and attacked the Green Lotus Sage directly upon meeting him. The Green Lotus Sage chose to die together with him while there was still room for maneuver.
"..." Su Er stared at the place where the Green Lotus Sage disappeared and raised an eyebrow: "A fake match?"
The Smiling Face Merchant violated the rules and the rules will punish him. He could have saved himself by not fighting back. To put it bluntly, the Green Lotus Sage was seeking death.
With only one player left, the game's difficulty automatically decreased. Mr. Shuhai calmly said, "When only one player remains, the settlement reward will be doubled. That double is the reward for the Azure Lotus Sage."
"…"
No wonder they choose to play a fake match.
It turned out that the price had been agreed upon early in the morning.
Even with the difficulty downgraded, Mr. Shuhai successfully found Zhao Shinan's tomb and completed the mission. In the end, he even gave a victory speech to a pile of graves: "Whether you are a human or a ghost, you should read more books, especially the books of sages."
Su Er couldn't bear to listen any longer and waved his hand: "Goodbye."
After Mr. Shuhai was teleported away, a small card floated down from the air and landed in Suer's hand.
The host is the top scorer in the college entrance examination. His hosting grade for this show is: A-.
Evaluation: 1. Colluding with others and condoning private transactions between players.
2. The first-class level of sowing discord is worthy of recognition.
Soul shrugged. "I'd rather be described as helpful than complicit. Now, can you tell me the identity of the serial killer?"
The information given in the game appeared in the center of the card: [Liu Wuye, Identity: Cleaner.]
The name sounded familiar, and Suer suddenly remembered that there was a strange old man in his school who swept the road back and forth during the day, and would clean up even a little fallen leaf.
[That's him. I'll help you deal with it as agreed.]
Surdo asked, "How to deal with it?"
[Make an anonymous tip to the police.]
"…Well done."
