Wang Zhongnan's psychological quality is quite strong. After the initial gaffe, he was still able to speak to Yan Zidan with calm words.
He has also long since noticed that some things in Solitaire, including some of the ghosts described in the APP, exist in reality. Before that, he had tried to remind his classmates Yan Meng and Sun Shengxi, but unfortunately both of them thought he was joking and didn't believe it at all. So when Yan Meng asked for help later, he hesitated and came over - and was fooled.
"Yan Meng's house is very close to yours?"
"Yes, we are all in Tongfang Town. It takes ten minutes to take a taxi to Yan Meng's house."
"Tongfang Town... the president went there before." Yan Zidan said, "Is there a family of Baligong Smile Travel in your town?"
"Yes, there is, but I don't even know when it opened, and Baligong was originally the name of the warehouse here. It seems to have some origins in the name. I was young at the time and forgot about it." Wang Zhongnan said nonchalantly, " So the president came to us? Did something happen in the end? It was replaced by the ghost president in the group now? "
"Aren't you afraid?" Lu Ning asked in a slightly louder voice.
Wang Zhongnan heard her question and sneered.
"As long as you don't violate the taboo here, you'll be fine... This taboo may be updated at any time. Yan Meng is purely careless."
"Taboo?" Yan Zidan frowned.
"Didn't you read that story? You are not allowed to leave your room at a certain time in the night, and you are not allowed to make loud noises... Every once in a while, random new taboos will appear on the surrounding text carriers in various ways, according to If she followed that action, she would be fine, but she found herself in a situation where she violated a taboo and had to lift it within five minutes. Yan Meng didn't notice that the instructions for her liquid foundation had been changed to include a line of taboos [No bathing at night], so she Died in the bathtub."
"This... who can pay attention to this?" Teng Xuan's mouth twitched, who usually reads this manual?
"Who can blame you for being careless in a life-and-death situation? The taboo will definitely appear at the right time to remind you that you ignored it... Huh!" Wang Zhongnan snorted coldly, "But Solitaire can continue, I don't know if I don't write Solitaire If something goes wrong, just set up the murderer inside."
"Zhang Xinqing? What are the settings of your soul wings?" Lu Ning asked.
"She has been a ghost for a long time, but by chance she walked in this world as a human being, relying on her own pair of soul wings to maintain her existence. The red wings represent a strong desire to live, and the gray wings Quite the opposite. The death of any person or ghost related to her will become Tsubasa's nourishment. And her own setting is that the essence of ghosts will not be revealed by any Taoism. It can be said that she is just a person; she will unconsciously go to She planted the seeds of her favorite wings and waited for them to sprout. She took the initiative to influence the twenty-four people in the club except herself. She was very aware of the sin involved in murder, but the characteristics of ghosts made her feel free from any guilt. I'm impressed. In addition, I just thought about the specific strength for a moment. After all, the part I wrote is not involved, but it seems that to pass the review, it must be quite powerful, the kind that can not lose at all when faced with the siege of a group of Taoist priests."
"What did you say?" Lu Ning suddenly raised his voice, "You won't lose even if you face a group of Taoist priests?"
"No matter how hard I try, she can't be easily solved by two or three Taoist priests. After all, the murderer is the villain in our Solitaire story. I can't give myself much of an advantage."
"Can you guarantee your own safety now? We may head to Tongfang Town after we resolve the matter here! How long can you hold on?" Lu Ning sounded a little anxious.
"I don't know... Yan Meng is a warning to me when I can't hold on anymore. There will always be a day when you ignore important taboo reminders. You'd better not come. This place in Tongfang Town is too abnormal... "
"Don't worry about that for now, tell me your current address." Yan Zidan interrupted his somewhat lamenting words, "If we can figure this out, we will go and rescue you! We have some power and know some Taoist priests, we will definitely be able to Save you! I was saved by them before!"
"Haha...Okay, I'm in Building 4, Yan Meng's house, in the Qixing Building in Tongfang Town. The house number is 1003. If you have the ability...I want to be rescued too..."
The last sentence clearly contained a cry, and it was obvious that his calmness was suppressed by force.

The car returned to Xiahe and stopped in front of Qian's house.
After talking to Wang Zhongnan, Lu Ning has been thinking. Now everyone got out of the car, and Chen Hang, Zhou Shilan and Qian Yipeng also got off the car behind them. Lu Ning called a few people over first.
"What's going on?" Zhou Shilan saw that everyone looked wrong and was a little scared.
"Chen Hang, Zhou Shilan, Qian Yipeng... We had a phone call with Wang Zhongnan before, and we originally wanted to ask about the Solitaire part..." Lu Ning briefly explained the conversation to the three of them, and their expressions became more solemn.
"Then we have to find a way to save people. Sister Dandan has been rescued. There is no reason not to go this time." Chen Hang frowned, "Yan Meng is dead? This...these ghosts have started to act unscrupulously?"
"Tongfang Town is farther from here than Gengwu City, and this is not the only problem we have to face now." Lu Ning glanced at Qi Mei.
"Me?" Qi Mei opened his eyes wide.
"I just confirmed with Wang Zhongnan that the strength of the 'murderer' in the story can face the siege of several Taoist priests. The strength has not been accurately set."
"You... think the Taoist priests we found can't deal with the murderer?" Zhou Shilan responded quickly.
"If the situation is worse, if the hidden figure we have been deliberately trying to bring out before is the murderer in reality..."
Everyone's expressions changed, especially Qi Mei: "You said that my senior brother and the others might not be able to deal with a character in the story?"
"In a story with a clear protagonist, the detective and the murderer are actually the only equal opponents. The rest are supporting characters, and it is impossible for the supporting characters to kill the villain before the protagonist appears."
"But reality is not a story!" Qi Mei said, "No matter how powerful the story is, it's just that we haven't met a powerful Taoist priest. Whether it's fate or coincidence, we just haven't met a powerful Taoist priest. If you want to tell me, I can't do it, but There are so many of them, Senior Brother! There is also Mr. Jin and the others, this is not the level of siege by just a few Taoist priests!"
"If that person is not the 'murderer' among us, but a powerful hidden figure here in Zaoyuanzhuang, it may develop as you said. But if he is really the 'murderer', it will not be simple. "Lu Ning took out her cell phone, "I want to have a phone call with Taoist Master Lu Ping first."
"You may not be able to get through." Qi Mei shook his head, "I have seen them fighting ghosts before, and it is different from when they dealt with the Nine-faced Infant before. Yin and Yang are mixed, and electromagnetic communication basically fails until the fight is over. to get through.”
Lu Ning listened to the busy signal on the phone and nodded.
"Anyway, if the situation changes, we have to discuss it again. Chen Hang is right, we can't leave Wang Zhongnan alone, especially since he is a very important character in the story."
Everyone nodded and opened the door to Qian's courtyard.
"Huh?" Qian Yipeng first looked at the main room in surprise. When he came back these days, Qian's father and several uncles were usually playing cards. The main room was also brightly lit, but today when he came back and opened the door, it was dark.
"Did you visit?" Qian Yipeng frowned and pushed open the door of the main room, then his expression changed and he rushed into the house. Lu Ning, who followed behind, turned on the light, and everyone smelled the bloody smell coming from the room. Immediately, Qian Yipeng's roar of anger and grief came from the house.
Lu Ning raised the curtain and saw that on the Kang mat, Qian's father and Qian's mother were tied together with hemp ropes. Their hearts were stabbed with a sharp knife. The blood had flowed to the ground and was solidified. It was obvious that they had been dead for a long time. This probably happened not long after everyone left. Qian Yipeng held the bodies of his parents and cried loudly, and no one knew how to comfort such a tragedy.
Lu Ning turned around and checked several other houses, but found no trace of the two uncles and the cousin. It was not clear whether they were kidnapped or committed murder.
She had also considered how to arrange the Bai ceremony to be safer if she was the holder of the Bai ceremony. The final conclusion was that before the Bai ceremony, ten people were kidnapped from other places and killed one every day. It would not have any impact on the local area at all, but The idea apparently didn't sit well with some. And is the disappearance of these three people related to it?
After returning to the main house, Qian Yipeng was still in pain. The pain of losing a parent suddenly is indeed extraordinary, and everyone can only watch silently. Lu Ning sympathized with him, but she would not do anything. She got a little closer to watch the death of Qian's father and Qian's mother.
There were no signs of resistance on their clothes or hands, and there were no external injuries on their heads or necks. From the outside, there was only a fatal stab wound to the heart.
The two people were knocked unconscious by someone, tied together, and then killed - this is a conjecture consistent with the current scene.
Lu Ning quietly pulled Teng Xuan, and went with her to other rooms and rummaged through all the drawers, boxes, and cabinets. She did not find any drugs that could make people unconscious, not even sleeping pills. Yes, it's obvious that the person who did it was very clean. Soon, the two came to the house of Qian Yirong, the child adopted by Qian Yipeng's third uncle.
The door was unlocked and Lu Ning gently pushed it open. Nothing special happened inside. After the lights are turned on, you can see that there are many drawing boards and paintings in this room. There are also things like a digital tablet next to the computer on the table. It is obvious that Qian Yirong likes painting. But everything is neatly packed, which is clean enough for a boy who has a room by himself.
Lu Ning took out several paintings that she had painted in the corner. The quality of these paintings was not easy for her to appreciate, but for a person who didn't understand them, they were already very good works. The paintings are all landscapes, with few figures, and the content of the paintings is also the landscape around Zaoyuan Manor. There are fish ponds and reed marshes in Xiahe, the bustling crossroads of Dadong Road, the quiet mountain houses in the old garden, and the flocks of birds in the grassland. Even if these paintings are not as detailed as the photos, in Lu Ning's opinion, this skill is enough to be exhibited.
"The computer has a password." Teng Xuan still tried to open the computer straightforwardly, but of course it failed. Lu Ning rummaged through it and found a middle school student ID card that Qian Yirong had put in the drawer, and entered his birthday - of course the password was wrong.
"Computer passwords are really not that simple." Lu Ning sat down in front of the computer. She noticed that the picture after turning on the computer was also a picture of Zaoyuanzhuang. It should be at Xiahe River. The water on the left and the courtyard on the right are very Evenly divided on both sides, there is not a single cloud in the clear sky above. It is a photo that makes people feel very comfortable.
Now, Lu Ning has learned some basic hacking skills. If the computer is not encrypted in a too complicated way, she can still crack it. After connecting his mobile phone, Lu Ning started to try. Fortunately, the electronic technologies involved in technology scenes were almost the same. It took about twenty minutes for Lu Ning to successfully enter the computer desktop.
The desktop is very clean, with only two columns of icons. The first column is those on the computer itself, and the second column is various drawing-related tools. However, there is still a lot of storage space, and nearly two-thirds of the storage space is used except the system disk. Lu Ning looked at the past in turn - they were all related to painting.
Videos for learning painting, the use of painting tools, painting techniques, and Qian Yirong’s own paintings. It can also be seen from some of the pictures he saved that he participated in some online painting competitions and won bonuses. He is very capable.
In a "experience" folder, Youqian Yirong summarizes the results of his many paintings like a diary. It can be seen from the text that he is very confident in his painting skills, and at the same time he also has a lot of critical eyes. Unlike the shyness he showed before, Qian Yirong even sometimes speaks harshly when it comes to painting. For example, in his reflections after a certain competition, he wrote that the strength of many players was so poor that it made people wonder whether the level of the competition was getting lower and lower... and so on.
In his recent thoughts, Qian Yirong mentioned his future problems.
He obviously likes Zaoyuanzhuang very much. The landscape here provides a lot of material for his paintings, but it's just not enough to do it behind closed doors. He has already been admitted to an art academy and will study there in half a year to continue improving his painting skills. But this is also the first time Qian Yirong has left Zaoyuanzhuang. Ever since Uncle Qian brought him back as a child, he has grown up here, and the people and things here have memories in it. If there was a local art academy in Zaoyuanzhuang, Qian Yirong would definitely stay here directly.
Finally, he said that as a souvenir, he planned to paint a huge landscape painting that included the entire Zaoyuan Village before he left.
