Hearing this, Ke Long's eyes paused, and he looked at Shi Dali with some vigilance, "I didn't expect Brother Shi to know the secrets inside. It's just that I'm blind."
"Why, do you also want a share of the pie?" Ke Longpi smiled, his fists in his sleeves clenched slightly.
"Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending?" Shi Dali, who didn't care about Ke Long's threat, sighed helplessly, "The current situation is that you have been exposed. It is taboo to dare to attack your teammates. Everyone Everyone will be wary of you. Now that you and Shi Guanming have broken up, as long as he is still alive, do you still want to live in peace one day? Aren't you worried that he will cheat you at the critical moment? "
"Don't look at it as he is just a newcomer. New talents are the most unruly. It is not impossible to drag you to death together in a desperate situation."
"Oh, don't scare me. It's not my first day in a place like this." Ke Long still looked indifferent, "But I don't mind hearing what you have to say?"
"It's very simple. I'll solve this trouble for you." Shi Dali glanced in the direction of the wing, but no one came out there.
Ke Long burst out laughing, "To put it nicely, you just want to monopolize this benefit and act like a gentleman."
Shi Dali was not angry and nodded naturally, "You and I are strangers to each other. I'm helping you for free at the risk. Do you believe me?"
"I'll help you get rid of Shi Guanming, and I'll make sure it's done flawlessly. No one will suspect you. Next, I'll find someone else to compensate you. As long as we cooperate, I guarantee that we will each get a benefit when we leave here." At the end of the day, Shi Dali's face softened, and his eyes were full of longing, "You know well, as long as you use the rules in the script to trick your teammates, you can delay the next time you receive the script. We will win-win."
Ke Long was moved. This had nothing to do with Shi Dali's eloquence. After weighing the pros and cons, Shi Dali was indeed his best partner. "How can I trust you?"
"I don't care, it's just a proposal, you can refuse it." Shi Dali shrugged, "I can also go to Kuang Hongyi. He has a very special temperament. Maybe he is from over there, and the guy named Chu Xi’s newcomer is not bad either.”
Ke Long suddenly smiled, extended his hand politely, and changed his attitude 180 degrees, "Thanks to Brother Shi, I am naturally willing to cooperate."
Shi Dali also smiled and clasped his hands tightly, "I know that Brother Ke is a sensible person, so you are my best choice."
"But now we have alerted the enemy. No matter how stupid Shi Guanming is, he will definitely know how to guard against me. What is your plan?" What Ke Long really cares about is this.
"We are going to the Hall of Respect later. Mr. Feng has prepared a paper man substitute for us. There are many theories about this paper man stand-in. We have to cut our middle finger and use the blood from our fingertips to smear the paper man's forehead. This will be considered a perfect substitute. In the jargon, it’s called recognizing the master. In addition, the paper man has another biggest taboo.”
"The paper man must not have his eyes lit." Ke Long seemed to understand Shi Dali's plan. "You mean to take advantage of Shi Guanming's unpreparedness, and the paper man we gave him..."
Shi Dali smiled slightly, "It's not us, it's me. You just need to leave the scene as soon as possible and don't fall into anyone's trap. Otherwise, when Shi Guanming dies suddenly, Kuang Hongyi and others will inevitably doubt you."
"Shi Guanming's attention will be on you, and he won't be wary of me." Shi Dali looked at Ke Long and changed the subject, "But after this incident is over, you must fully cooperate with me. We are grasshoppers on a rope. If something happens to me, it won’t be easy for you either.”
Ke Long nodded, "Brother Shi, don't worry, I still have this bit of integrity. Now that the investigation has improved, there is no need for so many people to try and make mistakes. I think it is too conservative for us to kill one person each. If there is a chance, these people will be killed." Keep them all, then..."
"Don't think too much. That Kuang Hongyi alone is not easy to deal with. Just let it go." Shi Dali interrupted Ke Long's unrealistic fantasy.
"Haha, I just said it casually and listened to Brother Shi."
There was a burst of hurried footsteps, and it was Kuang Hongyi and Yang Xiao who came to them, "It's almost time, it's time to pass."
After everyone regrouped, no one expressed their opinion on Ke Long's plot against his teammates. It was as if the matter had been selectively forgotten, and even Shi Guanming himself became quiet.
Following the path I took during the day, I came to the outside of the compound where Master Feng lived. It was already half dark and there was no sound in the compound.
The incense hall in the hall has been rearranged, and a large white curtain has been added to the outside. Looking in through the white curtain, the inside is shadowy against the candlelight, as if there are many people standing there.
On the left and right sides of the hall door, there are white lanterns carried on thin bamboo poles. On the lanterns, a thick word "Die" is written with a thick brush.
As a gust of night wind blew in, the large white lantern swayed from side to side, making the atmosphere even more gloomy.
Su Tingting's face was pale and her hands were shaking involuntarily. It would be a pity if something strange didn't happen in this setting.
Kuang Hongyi stepped forward and saw a black stone on the threshold of the hall door. When he got closer, he realized that it was actually a weight.
There was a piece of yellow paper pressed under the weight. When opened, it was a letter with a few lines of crooked words written inside. The content was not difficult to understand. It probably said that Master Feng was kind-hearted and prepared a paper stand-in for each of them to let them in. claim.
What really alarms everyone is the last three warnings. The first one is to draw eyes for the paper man, but only the outline, remember not to touch the eyes, and after painting, you have to tear off a piece of cloth from the body to cover the eyes of the paper man. .
The second rule is to wear small shoes for the paper man. The taboo is not to use too much force or pierce the paper man's skin.
The third and most important item is to make the paper man recognize its owner. The specific method is to cut the middle finger and put a bloody fingerprint between the paper man's eyebrows. Do not let the blood splash on the paper man's body.
If these three items are completed in sequence, the paper man's master recognition ceremony will be completed, and their safety will be protected tonight.
There is a picture on the back of the letter, which is like a child's simple drawing. It is so simple that everyone can understand it after just a few glances. The picture above is the layout of the hall tonight.
There are several strange small grids divided vertically on the left and right sides of the hall, four on the left and three on the right. There is a person painted in each small grid.
Xu Su nodded slightly, "It seems they are still divided into two groups. Our group of 4 people is on the left, and the other group of 3 people is on the right. Each person has a small room and each does his or her own thing."
"What will happen if you accidentally violate a taboo?" Shi Guanming suddenly asked, "For example, it would be like adding eyes to a paper man."
"The paper man is not just a substitute, it will come to life and become like you and me little by little." Kuang Hongyi's voice was serious after putting away the yellow paper.
