Not recognizing the little black man did not prevent the two from handling the incident. Ke Daolin briefly showed Lu Ning the skills she had acquired during this period - a sharp knife and a rope. She tied a few knots with the rope, and then used the knife to carve out lines on the walls and the ground. Mark of.
This is a ritual, and the most important thing is that the two tools Ke Daolin used were real ritual props, not pieced together from the surrounding environment like Lu Ning did. Although mantra rituals are not limited to external appearances, it is true that formal ones are always more effective than ad hoc ones.
"Count." Ke Daolin said.
At this moment, the two of them had circled back to the previous dressing room. Due to the rain and the muddy ground, Ke Daolin found it easier to draw the line. Lu Ning held the rope and started counting according to Ke Daolin's lines. When it reached nineteen, Ke Daolin stopped.
"This ceremony is very interesting."
"It's too troublesome to use for fighting." Ke Daolin stood up, walked around the jagged lines on the ground, and then looked up at the sky. The rain was still falling, and even though both of them were wearing the film crew's ponchos, they still felt wet.
"Lu Ning, who do you think did it this time?"
"I don't know. There's no way to directly determine the specific candidate. I don't know much about that person from Bei Muda. It would be too arbitrary to think that he was the mastermind."
"Wei Zhan, the person in charge, these are also suspects." Ke Daolin said.
"But the only one who can control it on the spot is Beimuda, right? Or people around him may do the same, but if I were asked to choose a person to do it, I think it is most likely him." Lu Ning said.
"All right."
Ke Daolin took the rope from Lu Ning's hand. The knots on it were already tied. Ke Daolin tapped each knot with the back of the knife, and then threw the rope into the air.
The rope twisted slightly in the air, and then the nineteen slip knots on it were opened at the same time, as if nineteen people were hanging on a string. Ke Daolin casually scratched his fingertips with a knife, and blood gushed out. At the same time, the rope opened. Black blood also appeared on those "rings".
People who don't know may not think this is some kind of sorcery when they see this scene, but Lu Ning knows that this is a serious application of the concept of mantra, which triggers the miracles that one needs through the synchronization of similar things. She understands it but is too lazy to bother with it. A technique used.
After doing all this, Ke Daolin put away the rope, and Lu Ning turned around and entered the dressing room. The previous quarrel was over, and everyone was kicked out by Yu Zhan. Now, except for a few people who were packing their things, , no one else is left here.
"Brother, let me ask, what happened here in the end?" Lu Ning asked the people inside.
"The director took those people to other places to solve the problem. I guess you have to ask the person in charge what to do in the end. After all, these things are provided by the investors." The man who was sweeping the floor shrugged. "It's just that these things are really difficult to clean up..."
"How about I come and help? Let's clean up the ground, and the brothers can just throw out the smashed bottles and cans. I'll be responsible for mopping the floor. Let's get it done as soon as possible. We have to shoot in the afternoon."
The few people were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly took out the trash can, put the garbage together and carried it out, not forgetting to thank Lu Ning. After Lu Ning sent these people out with a smile, she immediately ran into the clothes.
Bloodstains.
The interactive influence of the ritual will eventually cause the blood stains to be conducted to where they should go, and the concept of "hanging" will also directly act on the ghost, an effect similar to a curse. Lu Ning quickly found a few clothes with blood stains around their collars. She pulled them all out. At this time, Ke Daolin also put away the ritual props and walked in.
"Have you found it? I leave the purification part to you."
"But there is no death energy on it. It is not a ritual performed by some living creature." Lu Ning spread the clothes on the ground, then took out a lighter from his pocket and turned it on.
The warm light fell on those clothes and quickly turned into high temperature. The clothes quickly charred and turned into ashes on the ground in a moment. Under Lu Ning's continued strong light, even the ashes slowly disappeared.
"Done."
"Aren't you going to investigate behind the scenes?" Ke Daolin asked.
"We're not strong enough to deal with it yet, we just need to know what's going on. In addition... Ke Daolin, I have something to tell you." Lu Ning put away the lighter, "I joined another team."
"oh."
"Is this the only answer?" Lu Ning raised an eyebrow.
"It's not surprising, because after the second phase of the mission, everyone will definitely seek their own comfort zone. People like Mei Yu and An Youxi have done this. It's normal for you to do the same. It's not like I haven't talked to other tourists. I have contacted... In fact, Donald and Chen Anhui shared a lot of information with me, and we are basically a new team." Ke Daolin said nonchalantly, "Anyway, there is no conflict between us, no matter which team we are in, Isn’t it?”
"But if we conflict in the future..."
"Let's talk about the future in the future. I will not push out the current friendly forces just because of some future possibilities." Ke Daolin said, and began to clean the ground with Lu Ning, destroying traces.
"...Then you should be careful about the tourists currently in this scene. There may be a dangerous person sneaking in. I got the news from others before, Li Zhu among the chairman and a tourist named Tian Kun from the base team Dead, and the cause of death is unknown, and the name he told me struck me as a dangerous person."
"what is it call?"
"Zuo Xiaobi."
Ke Daolin thought about it carefully and said that she had never heard of this name, and not all fourth-level tourists knew each other. If someone deliberately did not make a name for himself, his abilities might only be known to those who knew him.
"But thanks for reminding me, I will pay attention to this tourist."

After dealing with the dressing room matter, no one knew what kind of negotiations Yu Zhan had with Beimuda in the end. At least the live broadcast team quietly left, and the afternoon shooting continued normally. Yun Shu's action efficiency was quite fast. When the shooting was about three o'clock in the afternoon, someone came over to take stock of the losses and replenish the necessary items. It is estimated that even if a few pieces of clothing are missing, they will be replenished in this way. Bar.
Lu Ning was concentrating on completing his filming all afternoon. A small interruption did not affect the performance of the actors today. At four o'clock in the afternoon, today's part of Yu Zhan's filming was completed. He waved his hand and let everyone go back as promised. . However, when Lu Ning was packing her things, she discovered that Qu Yi and An Youxi were quietly waiting in a nearby side hall, seemingly trying to follow Wei Zhan.
It seems that the two of them have also developed an inquiring mind about the director's participation in the entire incident. Lu Ning originally wanted to investigate, but there was still a task entrusted to him by Yin Xiu. However, it is indeed impossible for one person to do all the investigations in one scene, and then exchange information later.
Area 17 is dominated by ancient garden buildings. The composition of the entire area is complex. Once you enter, you will find a courtyard with nine twists and turns, separated by courtyard walls. If you walk an average of twenty steps, the scenery in front of you will change. Naturally, this kind of place usually has a lot of tourists. However, due to the heavy rain today, not many people came at all.
As Lu Ning walked through the gardens, the light in front of her eyes returned to a relatively dim crack shape and was no longer active. This also showed that there was indeed no one using the power of the mantra nearby. Lu Ning didn't plan to call Charles over. He always relied on others' fighting power, and he was about to get rusty.
After passing through the fourth garden, Lu Ning saw people. There were a few couples, some groups of young people, but no elderly people or children, probably because the weather was too bad today. There was a painter who was painting a tree in the rain with a painting stand. It looked a little level. Lu Ning glanced at it casually and passed by. After turning a corner, a bluestone road extended towards the circular doorway not far away, which was the road leading to the next garden. At this moment, Lu Ning felt that her vision was slightly brighter.
That should be... something unpleasant, because the bright light threads are squirming like insects. Although Lu Ning couldn't quite understand the message of the twisting light thread, she could probably feel the likes and dislikes conveyed there. She quickened her pace and arrived near the circular door. At this moment, a tall man wearing a poncho walked out from the opposite side.
Lu Ning and the other party stood at the same time. Since there was no one here after turning the corner, the two stood opposite each other. After a moment of silence, they each relaxed their arm movements slightly.
"It's not necessary." The man whispered, "You still have some traces of ritual use on your body, and your eyes are cloudy. I don't like fighting people like you. You have a similar smell to me."
"I didn't expect to meet a strange person here." Lu Ning said softly, "He was wearing a poncho, but his hair and most of the clothes on his body were already wet, and long strips could be seen in the outline of the sleeves. The hard object, which looks like a dagger or something like that, relies on the fact that you are wearing black pants, and you didn’t clean the blood stains on it... You must be a murderer, after all, I don’t believe anyone would come to a place like this. Kill chickens and dogs.”
"Just to clarify, I just didn't do the laundry because I didn't have much time. Under normal circumstances, I would still keep it clean." The man shook his head gently, "Besides, I'm not acting strangely, although I don't plan to use this now. I have a work permit, but after all, I am officially employed here."
"Zuo Xiaobi?" Lu Ning said.
"It's indeed my name." The man nodded.
Lu Ning's vigilance was raised to a higher level again.
"You are a tourist, Lu Ning. I have some tourist information in my hand." Zuo Xiaobi said calmly, "You did not disclose much information to Qiao Gao and Pu Dongning. This is correct. As tourists, they It's a big problem to be too inclined to find someone to cooperate with but not to be strict in your tone. Of course, the most important thing is you, Lu Ning, I don't just know you from this direction."
"It seems like you want to reveal the matter directly?" Lu Ning pinched the needle in her sleeve and stared at Zuo Xiaobi's movements. She had never known this person before, but since Xiang Yi knew his name, she pressed the last button Considering the worst case scenario, the other party may have already paid attention to her situation.
"In my opinion, there is nothing bad to say. You probably have a bad impression of me because I am in an organization that you are naturally disgusted with. But in fact, you have never carefully understood the puppet party, or our overall organizational structure. In the scene Inside, many of us will still focus on completing the task." Zuo Xiaobi pulled on his raincoat and exhaled softly, "It's really hot flashes."
"Why are you here?" Lu Ning would only believe half of what the people at the puppet party said. When he couldn't tell whether it was true or false, the best thing to do was to control the topic himself. The other party didn't seem to want to fight anyway.
"According to my judgment, the two of us should have come for the same goal. First of all, if you are curious, I can tell you that I have indeed killed someone. I killed Tian Kun. I do not deny it." Zuo Xiao Bi said in his characteristic calm tone, "But the death of another person made me curious. I tortured some clues from Tian Kun, and then followed the clues to this place. It seems that you were delayed by the mission, Let me take the first step."
"...Really? Are you sure?"
Seeing that Lu Ning was still doubtful, Zuo Xiaobi took something from his belt and threw it over. Lu Ning reached out and took it. It was a seal. The seal was engraved with the meerkat badge she had seen before.
"I don't like to fight with others. Generally speaking, it will make me bored, and then I will kill that person." Zuo Xiaobi said, "I would like to remind you in advance that killing is like eating and drinking to me. It belongs to It’s a necessary behavior for survival, but I can choose the time and place I like, and I hope to keep the conversation as friendly as possible. Since I don’t pick targets, I will choose irrelevant people in the scene to attack, and I generally don’t want to choose tourists.”
"Oh? Can I ask why?"
"Unnecessary trouble. We are the same people. You should feel that it is much harder to kill tourists than unsuspecting ordinary people. Unless I want to challenge myself on a whim, I will not choose this kind of target. Now let's be good Let’s talk, because I need more clues to pursue, and you need what I find. This is not cooperation, we each get what we need.”
"Okay." Lu Ning didn't want to waste too much time on this. She didn't know what kind of person Zuo Xiaobi was, but she could control the amount of information she gave out. So far, she has seen a lot of all kinds of people in the puppet party. The higher the level, the more they can restrain their desires and fears, but it also makes it more difficult.
"I am Lu Ning from Rose Cross, and I will keep an eye on you."
"You have a full sense of justice. I don't hate it. Zuo Xiaobi, deputy leader of the third group of the puppet party purge group, I don't think we will have a chance to meet again after this scene." Zuo Xiaobi finally raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I hope you're not so depraved that I want to kill you."
