With everyone's attention drawn to the flames of the warehouse on the west side, it was not difficult to leave White Lake Town. This time, there was Zhu You at the edge of the woods.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Ning coming out: "As long as you're okay."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just a little surprised that that guy can actually deal with you. What's wrong with him?"
"I used some dangerous methods to temporarily gain some powerful power." Lu Ning glanced at Mi Nan in his hand, "Can your ability detect anything unusual about him at this distance?"
Zhu You frowned: "That may require becoming a half-demon... Now I can't exert my full strength."
Among the demons, only Zhu You completed the tasks assigned by others honestly and did not explore the evolution of his abilities, so there were still many inconveniences. But Lu Ning didn't care about this: "Then transform into a demon. You still have a lot of time tonight, right?"
"It's just that it doesn't take time to become a demon in the normal state." Zhu You said, the black horns of the demon slowly appeared in the corners of his eyes, "Let's go into the forest."
The horniness slowly proliferated, and when it covered the eyes, it began to become transparent, covering Zhu You's eyes like a mask. Lu Ning knew that she was almost at full strength.
This ability is named [Heat Sense], which gives Zhu You a wide range of thermal imaging vision at night. The thermal reactions of all creatures within the range of vision cannot escape her eyes. And if transformed into a demon, this ability will also provide extremely high-precision appearance recognition and energy field detection effects, and it will also provide vulnerability-seeing and X-ray perspective-level insights at close range.
Nothing about Mi Nan was hidden under such a glance.
"The heart is on the upper right side, close to the Adam's apple, about the length of a thumb, and there is a special energy response."
"What shape?"
"Not regular, like a rock."
Lu Ning smiled: "That's fine. By the way, is anyone leaving the town during this time? Tourists?"
"Shen Lishu, Ye Chuqing and Iroh went to the lake house. Sugiyama stayed at the hotel to take care of Fujii. Tachikawa, Asayama and Yu Guiting went to the farm. Carl and Robert stayed in the room without moving... huh? "
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't see Xia Xinhe and his wife."
Zhu You hesitated for a moment, then continued to look everywhere, a little surprised: "It's really not there!"
"Did you get mixed in with the crowd?"
"Now that I'm in demonic form, I can see everyone as clearly as if they were face to face! I can't find it in towns, cemeteries, forests, farm areas, white sand lakes, mines...none of these places!"
If these places are not there, then there is only one place left, and that is a place that Zhu You cannot see anyway.
"It's hidden..." Lu Ning suppressed her smile. She knew that Xia Xinhe was not as impetuous and mean as he seemed on the surface, but at this time, being able to catch herself off guard was considered capable, and Duan Qing had always been like Xia Xinhe's background is the same. It can be said that no matter how high-profile Xia Xinhe looks, she is as low-key as she is. This pairing is simply a buffoon that should be ignored.
Although the future is not that easy to explore, it is a real corner of the world after all, and Lu Ning is not prepared to wait for them to do something big and then make up for it afterwards.
"Where is Qiu Yiyun?"
"She has taken the keys to her future lake house and is staying there, but she looks quite dissatisfied."
"I don't think she'll make it on time."
Regarding Qiu Yiyun, Lu Ning roughly judged that he was a guy who put interests first and had his own way, so she didn't plan to give him any important tasks. She is not Cheng Wuling. Everything for her teammates must be arranged in detail. If someone makes an unplanned move, they will bear the consequences.
The two of them moved very quickly and arrived at Baisha Lake in less than ten minutes.
Lu Ning did not hesitate, picked up Mi Nan, turned her fingers into sharp blades and pierced his heart, digging towards the location mentioned by Zhu You above. Mi Nan finally woke up from the severe pain, but the curved light bomb in his arms exploded again, severely distorting everything he observed, and of course he was unable to capture the only possibility of survival.
The sharp-edged fingers cut open the chest and held up a faint blue gem from inside. Mi Nan gave up the struggle and looked at Lu Ning with dying eyes, slowly opening the corner of his mouth into a smile.
"……you win."
Lu Ning flicked his hand, cut his neck and threw him into the lake.
“Is Qiu Yiyun in the lake house?”
Zhu You could only nodded, and if she could see it, it meant that Qiu Yiyun did not follow Lu Ning's instructions to go to the future at all.
And Shen Lishu and his party might have arrived at the lake house long ago. If the two sides met, they would basically start a fight.
"Not yet." Zhu You understood what Lu Ning meant, "Qiu Yiyun is now hiding in the innermost bedroom, moving slowly towards the master bedroom where the three of them are in a gel shape, probably not intending to face it head-on. Fight."
"Does she think that no one can really deal with her special ability? Don't you remember the scratch by Fujii on the first day? Those three people must have someone to rely on if they dare to come to the lake house at such a time." Lu Ning shook her head. , "And Xia Xinhe... I don't even have time to make the witch's clothes. Where is the black box I gave you?"
Zhu You carefully took the box out of his backpack. This thing is actually locked, and can be unlocked by pressing the switch in a certain sequence from the outside. However, the material of the box itself is not particularly precious, and it can be opened violently with the power of a demon without any problem.
But Lu Ning wasn't too worried. She knew the function of this thing just like knowing how to use a lighter so as not to burn her fingers. She checked the switch of the box, then handed it back to Zhu You and asked her to put it in her backpack. After whispering a few instructions, the two of them walked to the lake house together.
===========
Shen Lishu was sitting on the bed, while Ye Chuqing was sitting on a chair beside the bed with her eyes closed and concentrating. Iroh paced back and forth in the room a little anxiously, taking out his pocket watch from time to time to check the time.
"Yi Luo, you are not at peace." Shen Lishu said.
"Professor... I'm just nervous. There will be a demon attack here, and there are only three of us this time."
"Really? At this point, you still refuse to tell the truth..."
Iroh was stunned for a moment and stopped in his tracks.
"Our first enemy is the demon, and the second is the secret mission we have to do. You are also the second level, can't you not even distinguish this?"
The old man's voice was still calm, but Ye Chuqing next to him had already opened his eyes, with murderous intent hidden in his lowered eyes.
"Let's make everything clear. We humans don't need to take the initiative to reduce our numbers. You are not a demon, I know, but other than that? Do you have any purpose that is harmful to us?" Shen Lishu took it out of his pocket. The small lottery tube slowly started to shake.
Iroh's face was very hesitant, and he didn't seem to know where to start. In the end, he only asked one question.
"Do you think we can win?"
"Your secret is related to winning or losing?" Shen Lishu asked, "If I said we couldn't win, what would you choose? Join the witch's side?"
This question made Iroh look a little bitter.
"It seems that's more or less the case. You are the one with the right to choose."
"No... it's not that kind of choice." Iroh sighed, "Although I have the identity of 'renegade', it is not an identity used to defect to the devil side, but another purpose."
"Can you tell me?"
"This is acceptable."
Iroh briefly explained his current status.
"Renegade" is not a role in the meaning of the scene, but a special rule for the distribution center. The rules it gives are actually very simple - [When your scores in this scene are settled, the scores/deductions will be opposite to the normal situation. . 】
Hearing this rule, even Shen Lishu and Ye Chuqing were stunned for a moment.
Although this type of special additional conditions is not uncommon, distribution centers generally do not provide any explanation, and there are many types. Many high-level tourists conclude that it does not affect the original distribution balance in any scene. But the trouble is, such a simple rule doesn't mean that you can pass safely if you do a mess on your task.
Especially in a scene like this, fortunately Iroh didn't think that his mission was to help the demons and kill the people in the town. Otherwise, it would have been perfectly in line with what human tourists need to do. Iroh himself is also frightened now. There are too many traps in the scene. Even if he wants to do it in the opposite direction, he doesn't know which direction is the other way around. What's more, his identity is still on the human side, so if the demon wants to kill Human beings also have their share.
"I have been hesitating these days. I have never been exposed to such a rule, and I don't know what to do to maintain the score. The only safer way is... to do nothing."
If you do nothing, things will at least not develop for the better, or for the "renegade", for the worse.
After Iroh said this, he felt much more relaxed.
"I thought it was something serious." Ye Chuqing whispered.
"This matter is actually very important. After all, this rule blurs his sense of camp. This is a taboo in a confrontation scene." Shen Lishu nodded to Yi Luo, "It doesn't matter if you say it. If the demon side wins, Then you should at least have a positive score, and you don’t have to come for tonight’s action.”
"But I feel like I won't have a chance if I don't tell the truth now." Iroh shrugged, "Thank you for listening to me, so I don't have to worry alone... By the way!" He suddenly remembered something. , clapped his hands fiercely, "I almost forgot to mention that the distribution center told me that there are two traitors in this scene!"
As he finished speaking, Ye Chuqing stood up quickly, clenched her hands into fists and stood in front of Shen Lishu, looking directly at the door.
A subtle flowing sound penetrated people's ears, like liquid flowing in a water pipe. But there is no such advanced drainage system around this lake house.
Yi Luo and Shen Li Shujing felt that it was a little late, but it was not too late, because after Ye Chuqing made a defensive move, the enemy did not launch an attack.
"Three people, just right." Qiu Yiyun "looked" into the house from the gap between the wall and the eaves. She was only dissatisfied with Lu Ning's arrangement, and that was that her three lakeside huts had all the killing quotas. If you are not assigned, if you do not complete all the tasks, you will not be able to get high scores. This is the truth.
"If she doesn't arrange it for me, then I'll get it myself. Anyway, these three people are not within the scope of her protection. How can she fall out with me over this matter when they are all dead?" Qiu Evian sneered and slowly extended the pieces of gel into the room in front of him.
But then, she discovered that the person who made the move was not Ye Chuqing, the main combat force, nor Yiluo, who had been acting suspiciously, but the old professor who admitted that he only had a supporting role.
The dodecahedron in Shen Lishu's hand unfolded on its own, and the sixty-four small bamboo sticks were arranged in a ring shape above the unfolded dodecahedron in the order of the sixty-four hexagrams, and slowly rotated. The dodecahedron turned into two five-petaled flowers connected together, one pure black and one pure white.
Almost out of instinct, Qiu Yiyun felt that that thing was probably the most threatening "weapon" to her. Even if her body could turn into gel and escape at any time, she could not escape the attack.
Shen Lishu walked down from the bed holding the slowly rotating hexagram plate, and Ye Chuqing helped him up. Now not only the bamboo sticks, but also the two flowers at the bottom began to float and rotate. Looking at this scene, Iroh couldn't help but secretly glad that he didn't do it just now. He couldn't learn this kind of magic, and it was best to deal with unknown things. Don't mess with it.
"Where is the enemy?"
The old man asked the first sentence, and the bamboo stick and the petals began to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise respectively. This looked like a divination question, but Qiu Yiyun always felt like a disaster was coming.
We can't let him finish this set of things!
A piece of colloid quietly surged up from above the window sill, turned into four sharp blades and aimed at Shen Lishu's vest, and shot them out in Qiu Yiyun's thought!
Among the three, only Yiluo faced the window, but Yiluo's perspective had been blocked by Shen Lishu. Qiu Yiyun originally thought that this attack was almost certain, but the moment the four demon weapons touched Shen Lishu , a green ten-petal ring appeared behind Shen Lishu, and was directly smashed by the impact of the sharp blade, but it also happened to offset all the force.
"What?" Qiu Yiyun never expected that Ye Chuqing's ability was automatic defense. Then she could only attack Shen Lishu by getting rid of this bodyguard first!
At this moment, Shen Lishu raised his head and looked directly at the wall where Qiu Yiyun's main consciousness was. This old man who had always behaved quite harmlessly made people forget that he was also an extremely experienced person. Rich visitors!
"Damn -" Qiu Yiyun didn't care so much anymore, and quickly took out most of the gel distributed in the house, and rushed towards the three people standing in the middle of the house from all directions. She didn't believe that three people were killed in such a strangulation. How can people who are not as powerful as themselves survive?
At the same time, Shen Lishu opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood quickly condensed into a ball in the center of the hexagram plate and was injected into the cores of the two flowers below.
"Dayan horoscope!"
As Shen Lishu roared, countless demon weapons condensed by colloids all "just happened" to brush against the corners of the three people's clothes. In a burst of rapid stabbing sounds, they all hit the place where Qiu Yiyun was. In a small gap.
