The thread was easily cut off by the wooden stick in Shu Li's hand, and the black energy that had lost its hold suddenly dispersed, heading towards Rong Ge uncontrollably.
Shu Li folded her arms and watched. When she saw that Rong Ge's reaction was normal, she stood aside and remained silent, waiting for the other party to "charge" to complete.
Because of this, she didn't notice that the thread dispersed into several groups of light, which dissipated in the air within a few seconds.
At the same time, something seemed to have changed in the manor.
When the sound of rapid footsteps continued to approach, Shuli directly blocked the small opening on the top floor, and the stick in his hand was ready to fall at any time.
When it became clear that the person coming was Li Zhi, Shu Li frowned, with a puzzled look on his face: "Why is it you? How did you find this place?"
Her heart moved slightly, and then she asked: "Were you the one who made the promise in the first place?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Zhi was still holding the edge of the escalator with one hand and holding the dagger in the other hand, still wanting to be questioned.
"I felt the changes here, and I guessed that you had done something, so I rushed here."
"Really?" Shu Li didn't believe it and asked him: "What do you think has changed here? How do you feel it?"
Li Zhi's words paused on his lips. He couldn't say that Feng told him by mistake.
But he reacted very quickly and replied: "Isn't this obvious enough? It may be that your perception ability is still a little lacking and it is not good enough."
Shu Li rolled her eyes expressionlessly, feeling speechless at his perfunctory remarks.
But even if he comes, he can be considered a helper.
Shu Li also wanted to use Li Zhi's identity to ask him if he had been here before.
Shu Li glanced at Rong Ge and moved out of the way, allowing Li Zhi to come up.
"Do you know what this copy is about?" Shu Li asked: "I originally thought it was the work of someone, but now it seems that his ability is not enough to achieve this."
After Li Zhi came up, he first looked around, and after confirming that everything was okay, he spread his hands and pretended to be innocent: "I don't know."
"According to the information I got, the mutation occurred in this copy two years ago. But you know, by that time I was already a waste in the punishment copy."
He said it calmly, but there was still a strange emotion in his eyes.
From an outstanding newcomer to a waste, it probably took him a long time to get used to this gap.
Shu Li didn't ask him if he regretted it or if it was worth it.
Because she subconsciously felt that such words were an insult to Li Zhi and an insult to everyone involved in that incident.
The reason why Shu Li could endure Feng Cuo's scheme may not be because he was one of the people back then.
But she just won't say these words.
Shu Li never felt that she was a very good person, at least when compared with them, Shu Li felt that she was not good.
And this kind of thinking just determines that Shu Li will be more cautious when thinking about problems.
Rolling her eyes, Shu Li changed the topic.
She pointed to Rong Ge and asked, "Who do you think she is?"
Li Zhi looked in the direction of her finger and was surprised when he saw the other party.
It's not because he knows Rong Ge or anything, but because the other person's current appearance is completely different from before.
A steady stream of visible and invisible black energy was repairing Rongge's body at an extremely fast rate.
Although it only looked like a gathering of black energy in the shape of his legs, Rong Ge could already use the strength to stand up.
Li Zhi tightened the dagger in his hand and pulled Shu Li behind him: "Why is there this thing again? Stay back, it is very dangerous."
"Ah?" Shu Li's eyes blinked with disbelief: "Danger? Are you talking about her?"
"What else?" Because he was extra serious, Li Zhi's voice was a little indifferent and seemed a little ruthless: "I just killed someone bigger than her downstairs."
The other side heard their conversation clearly. Rongge's face was full of fear and he took several steps back.
She looked at Shu Li with misty eyes, not daring to leave or take action. She could only stand there in fear of Li Zhi's unkindness.
"You scared him." Shu Li reached out and patted Li Zhi on the shoulder: "Relax, it's definitely different from what you just encountered."
"There are no absolutes in the world. Don't always do things based on your own feelings, especially when you can't solve most of the troubles you encounter."
Shu Li was speechless and looked away, not wanting to talk to him.
She winked at Rong Ge, meaning to let him go first.
Then she stepped forward and blocked Li Zhi's pursuit. Then, she raised her voice and told the location of the room she lived in.
Rong Ge reacted extremely quickly and was already in good condition again. He immediately jumped out of the building and turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the night.
Shu Li and Li Zhi were left alone, staring at each other.
"Do you want to explain something?" Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and spoke in an uncertain tone.
Shu Li yawned: "Ah...ha...it's late. It's time to go back to the room and sleep."
She moved her body and walked towards the hole leading downstairs, with no intention of answering the question.
"Who was that person just now?"
Shu Li had already descended half of her body. After hearing this, she raised her head and looked at him: "You have been searching for several hours, haven't you found any clues? You still want to come here to ask for it from me."
Li Zhi's face froze because of her words. He couldn't find any clues.
But with the help of Feng Cuo, he judged that those clues were not very important.
It's just that Feng Cuo refused to tell him the location of the important clues.
Even if I ask, he doesn’t know very well.
Li Zhi thought he was trying to prevent him from helping Shu Li and wanted her to find it on her own.
But looking at the situation in front of me, that doesn't seem to be the case.
If you can't interfere with the affairs in this copy even if you seal it incorrectly, then what is hidden here?
Is there a real NPC mutation?
Or is Feng Cuo lying?
He shook his head. Due to the lack of key information, he couldn't make a complete guess.
While he was dazed here, Shu Li had already descended halfway down the ladder.
Before he could react, he increased his speed and waved to him when he landed on the ground.
"Check-in rules, you are not allowed to leave your room after 12 midnight. You have two minutes to return to your room."
After speaking, Shu Li didn't care about Li Zhi's reaction, but quickened his pace and quickly went down to the second floor and returned to his room.
Although Rong Ge didn't come looking, Shu Li just sat patiently at the desk, planning to sort out the clues obtained during this period.
