"You are also going to Changsheng Village tomorrow?" As soon as Zhao Chen heard what the straw hat man said, the first thing that arose in his heart was confusion and suspicion: How could such a coincidence happen? You, Wai Guoren, who speaks Chinese very well, probably want to team up with the driver of a black car to deceive me, right?
Seeing Zhao Chensi's suspicious look on his face, the straw hat man also realized that his conversation was a bit abrupt and aroused suspicion, so he quickly explained: "It's like this, the four of us met on a niche supernatural website forum. They are all lovers of supernatural events who like adventure and excitement. This time, an administrator in the forum initiated an adventure activity and said that they would organize an adventure to the very famous supernatural village in the Sichuan-E roof ridge forest area..."
Next, the straw hat man briefly introduced the situation on his side.
His name is Joseph, he is a paranormal enthusiast and an explorer who has been to many places. He was originally a little transparent who has been diving on the forum for a long time. He saw the administrator launching this adventure activity with paranormal elements, so he became enthusiastic After signing up, and coupled with his rich experience in exploration, he became the leader of this abandoned village expedition team.
The other adventure members also responded to the call for this forum event. They came from all over the place to have free money and time, but also were bored and wanted to find excitement.
Originally, this adventure gathering of the Supernatural Forum was supposed to start as soon as everyone gathered yesterday. As a result, the car that Joseph finally chartered missed them because the driver's family had an accident. In addition, the road to Changsheng Village was originally It’s not easy to walk. If the price is too high, the expedition team can’t afford the expense. If the price is too low, there won’t be much money to be made from this trip, so many drivers are reluctant to take this trip. As a result, Joseph spent a whole day looking for it today. Only now did they find a driver willing to take them to Changsheng Village.
When they were about to leave, they saw Zhao Chensi and Wan Qi asking about chartering a car to Changsheng Village. They thought that there were still empty seats in the car. If two more people sat together, the charter fare shared by each person would be reduced. , so there is such a thing as opening up a conversation.
"Isn't this great!" Wan Qi patted his thigh after hearing the whole story and decided the matter without thinking, "Then it's settled! We'll leave with you tomorrow! The fare is still the same Everyone shares it equally, do you think that’s okay?”
Zhao Chensi hadn't expressed any opinions yet. He was about to question Joseph's motivation for coming to the expedition, which was too nonsense, and when he was about to ask him to explain some doubts about the formation of the expedition team, Wan Qi stopped him. , he quickly tugged at his friend and lowered his voice: "You don't know the details of the other party, why did you agree to this?"
"Don't worry, don't worry. You've seen the wall we ran into when we were looking for a car before. Now we happen to have someone going with us, so we can have someone to look after us on the way." Wan Qi didn't care at all, "Besides, even if there are really some pitfalls here, There is nothing we can do..."
God can't help it! This kind of pitfall can obviously be avoided, right? Zhao Chensi could only stare wide-eyed, trying to put psychological pressure on his friend with his eyes.
However, it was of no use.
Then Wan Qi, who was mainly responsible for negotiating with people, reached a consensus with Joseph amid laughter. After exchanging phone numbers and the time and place to meet and set off tomorrow, the two said goodbye to each other and casually found a farmer's dish on the roadside. After finishing dinner, I walked around the streets a few times and bought some maps that I didn’t know if they could come in handy, and then I returned to the hotel.

Late at night, the office of the Lucky Ancient God, the infinite corridor.
Wu Ming, who had already buried his head so hard that his eyes were bloodshot, pointed to a certain page in the huge black book and asked excitedly: "Mia! What does the description of this contained object mean? As long as you hold it, you will be isolated like an ordinary person. The use of extraordinary power?”
In order to solve Lin Jiaojiao's problems, Wu Ming basically spent the past two or three days here besides eating and sleeping with Queen Crimson and Mia looking for a containment object that could rescue Lin Jiaojiao.
Mia was forced by him to come over to help. Anyway, she was basically fishing and had nothing to do. Moreover, she only needed to help recall whether there were any qualified containment objects, and it would not delay her work, and Scarlet The Queen took the initiative to ask for help after the test was completed.
The Crimson Queen's test results came out on the same day and were identified as type [11] contained objects. This number type means in the Lucky Ancient God Office: abnormal objects with active consciousness and the ability to actively use extraordinary power. In addition, there are Many scientific crystals were found on the Crimson Queen (inside the laptop) that are impossible to achieve even with the use of extraordinary power in the current era and technology.
"Which one? Let me take a look... Contained object 10-E-7850 is a passive abnormal object..." Mia looked sideways at the place Wu Ming pointed to and searched the memory in her mind, "Theoretically. It is said to be useful. As long as you wear this, you will be temporarily transformed into an ordinary person. However, the disadvantage of this containment object is that it will whisper in the wearer's ears 24 hours a day, even if the wearer sleeps, it will sneak into the dream. I kept talking about it..."
Wu Ming immediately shook his head and denied: "Forget it, so as not to drive others crazy. The last blond prince with a promising future just took things randomly, and ended up being driven crazy by a big sword that he kept fighting all day long... …”
During the past few days of working all night long, Wu Ming had not found a containment object that could temporarily suppress or solve the problem of excess extraordinary potential in Lin Jiaojiao. As the director had reminded in the text message before, in the infinite corridor There are too many abnormal objects that can solve Lin Jiaojiao's problem, but the problem is...
But most of those contained objects had very powerful side effects. Wu Ming even saw an inactive passive extraordinary object that could purify extraordinary potential. It was a crystal ball that continuously emitted light and heat like a small sun. As a result, it The side effect is that if no protection is taken, ordinary people will be purified into a handful of ashes in just three seconds...
It takes fifteen seconds to purify the extraordinary potential. By the time the excess extraordinary potential is purified, Lin Jiaojiao's ashes have probably been purified and refined into other substances...

Early the next morning, Zhao Chensi and Wan Qi checked out of the room together and arrived at the appointed location carrying a large suitcase. Joseph was still wearing a straw hat and a shirt and black hiking pants as he was yesterday, carrying a brown and yellow backpack. Da Bao stood next to a van and waved to them.
Behind him were two young men and women of about the same age, and a young girl with a young face and braids who looked like a high school student... or even a junior high school student. They were all wearing sneakers and hiking pants, and even If you bring hiking poles, you will know that you are prepared.
"This little girl with round glasses is Shigure. Although she may look like a junior high school student, our expedition team is all adults who have their own jobs..." Joseph, the leader of the expedition team, first introduced Behind him was a girl with round glasses and braids who looked like a junior high school student.
The childlike girl wearing a white T-shirt and a sun protection suit showed a bright smile to Zhao Chensi and Wanqi, and said hello with a smile: "Hello! I am Shigure ~ I am a novel author, Shigure It’s my online name, and it’s also my real name in reality, so you can just call me Shigure!”
"The other two, the female is Yang Xin, and the male is Chen Weilun..." Then Joseph introduced two young men and women who seemed to be about the same age. The tall Yang Xin nodded towards them with a polite smile, and Chen Weilun, who seemed to exude a gloomy and autistic atmosphere, just glanced at them and looked away.
Zhao Chensi and Wan Qi also briefly introduced themselves. The latter immediately approached Shigure and Joseph, who seemed to be the best to talk to, and Zhao Chensi had no objection to this: after all, they were all traveling together to Changsheng Village. After getting off the car later, they wanted to walk together over the mountains and ridges. Now that they had become familiar with each other, he really wanted someone to take care of him if anything happened.
The van took them on the road for about half an hour. As the van turned into a fork, the asphalt road under the wheels slowly turned into a dirt road. The road became narrower and narrower, and finally it was only enough for one vehicle. The road conditions also became... When the potholes became more and more bumpy, the driver slowly stopped the car.
"We can only go here. Cars can't pass any further. You can walk along this loess road for about ten minutes until you reach the fork. Then go straight to the path into the mountain and you'll be there..."
