Prison Camp No. 1.
When Zheng Xiu opened his eyes in the A-shaped cell, he subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt lingering fear.
Not really.
Scared of a myocardial infarction?
Zheng Xiu did not know that Shi Wentong was in a state of great joy and shock at that time, and had taken a large amount of supplements in advance.
When Shi Wentong screamed and kicked off his legs, frothing at the mouth and slid down from the seat, Zheng Xiu immediately drilled down and escaped into the ground, ending his [fugue] and returning his consciousness to his original body.
There was so much noise inside the carriage that no matter how stupid the coachman was, he would immediately go inside to check on Shi Wentong's safety.
Wouldn't it scare him to death?
Shi Wentong had a happy banquet with him during the day, and died in the carriage at night. If he really died, wouldn't he be suspicious of himself?
Although he, Mr. Zheng, has a sufficient alibi, if someone really wants to use this as an excuse, Zheng Xiu is afraid of being exposed.
"but……"
After struggling for a while, Zheng Xiu smiled and shook his head: "I, Zheng, have already been in trouble so far, what else can they do to me."
It was already late at night, and it would be too conspicuous for Erniang or his own men to temporarily visit the prison camp and make arrangements. Zheng Xiu could only wait until tomorrow.
After wandering in his mind for a night, Zheng Xiu was even more looking forward to the harvest after "the door". He didn't know what kind of extraordinary powers he could develop if he continued to go deeper into the door.
After resting for a while, Zheng Xiu closed his eyes and entered the prison of his heart.
Sitting on the bone chair, staring at the fog as deep as the sea outside the prison of the heart, thinking of Shi Wentong's tragic situation, although he did not feel guilty, Zheng Xiu felt a little more in awe of the gray fog for no reason.
Anyway, I hope others are okay.
Zheng Xiu lamented that he should be like Mr. Zheng, with both virtue and art, and a clear conscience.
The map is spread out, and the little man waits quietly in the center.
Zheng Xiu looked at the location of Baili Village. The preserved egg-shaped color was a bit darker.
If the round black tent looked like a preserved egg at first, then at this moment, it looks like a rotten old preserved egg.
Reaching out to explore, the words that appeared in front of Zheng Xiu's eyes also changed -
【White Carp Village·Act 2】
The yellowed paper scrolled and came to Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu took it with his big hand and checked the current progress of himself and his incarnation.
[Host]: [Zheng Xiu]
[Gateway]: [Prisoner]
[Derived]: [Looking at the sky from behind bars (first glimpse of the door)] [Wandering in the mind (first glimpse of the door)]
[Talent]: [No businessman, no treachery (first glimpse of the door)]
[Experience]: [Bai Li is looking for secrets for the first time, and the troubled times are turbulent (first entering the world)]
Among them, "Watch the sky from behind bars" and "No businessman, no adulterer" are still in the realm of "first glimpse of the door".
In terms of ability description, [Wandering God] is similar to [Watching the Sky from Prison].
[Watching the Sky in Prison] allows Zheng Xiu to enter the ghost world in the prison of his heart.
[Wandering of the Gods] allows Zheng Xiu to travel around the world in the form of A Piao.
Zheng Xiu felt that there was a contradiction hidden in it.
[Prisoner] On the one hand, he is required to stay in the prison, but on the other hand, he is trying to find ways to get him out of the prison.
"The first glimpse of the door" is just the beginning. If it continues to improve, Zheng Xiu guesses that the next step of [Wandering] may be to explore here and there.
With a little guessing and longing, Zheng Xiu planned to stay up all night and spend the night in a long night, so Zheng Xiu didn't waste time, and after concentrating his mind, the macho painter [Zheng Shan] on the table opened his eyes.
…
【Name】Zheng Shan
【Born】Painter
【Age】Thirty-two (in the prime of life)
【Strength】Twenty (Kong Wu is strong)
[Footwork] Ten (dexterity and sharpness)
[Physique] Eleven (yang prosperous and healthy)
[Appearance] Thirty-six (unparalleledly handsome, extraordinary, and unparalleled in the world)
[Will] Thirty-two (loyal, strong, and rock-solid)
[Luck] Eleven (small blessings)
【Physique】Twenty (huge and strong)
[Knowledge] Twelve (Extreme knowledge but not mastery)
[Traits] Detective (a little knowledge of the basics), Medicine (a little knowledge of the basics), Intuition (little attainments), Deterrence (a basic knowledge of the basics)
…
When Zheng Xiu re-entered [Bai Li Village], after Zheng Xiu killed Li Dachui boldly and neatly, the domineering force he inadvertently exuded frightened Xiao Xiao, and the incarnation realized the trait [Shock].
[Shock (a little understanding of it)]: At a specific moment, the invisible aura you exude may scare the opponent to death and make you win without a fight, but this rarely happens.
To put it simply, it is possible to scare the enemy with your face, but the probability still depends on your face.
As the saying goes, having many skills without weighing you down is better than nothing. Watching the incarnation gradually grow, the joyful feeling is like letting little Zheng Xiu bathe in the nectar of the sun and grow strong.
It stands to reason that Zheng Xiu, who has become the richest man, has been able to face many things without expressing his emotions and anger, but the "Ghost" and his entourage have made Mr. Zheng regain his original intention and be as happy as when he was a child again.
Pain and happiness.
A feeling of dizziness came over him, and Zheng Xiu stepped into the ghost world.
Just when he was about to spend a few minutes running over to brush Li Dachui quickly before entering Baili Village, the thick fog parted, revealing a neither wide nor narrow tree-lined path leading deep into the depths, with water drops hanging on the branches on both sides, along with Zheng Xiu's clothes were wet everywhere.
Zheng Xiu stared blankly at the beginning, not caring about the wet clothes soaking on his body. Looking around, he didn't see the bandit's official path that he had walked hundreds of times.
"S-Save it?"
Is this the so-called second act?
In the distance, there are lights and there seems to be people.
That should be the real Baili Village.
Zheng Xiu remembered the reminder he gave before "going deep into the door" for the last time.
[You realize that once you move forward, it will be difficult to look back. 】
Very...difficult?
How difficult is it?
Zheng Xiu did not believe in evil and turned around and returned.
When the rain stopped and the wind stopped, the chirping of birds and insects in the forest could not be heard. Only the "tap-tat" of Zheng Xiu walking on the muddy road was eerily quiet.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the shadow of a village appeared in front of me again, with lights that were exactly the same as not long ago.
"What the hell?"
Zheng Xiu was surprised now, and a drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead.
After pausing on the spot for a moment, Zheng Xiu took out the bandit knife he had snatched, carved a big X on a conspicuous tree, and then returned.
really.
When Zheng Xiu once again saw the cross he carved on the tree with his own hands, he understood the mystery here.
"Go through an investigation."
【You are opportunistic! 】
Oh yeah! A critical attack.
【Thirty-six. 】
[The investigation was a success! 】
Scouting is a good ability.
No target required, works even on air.
But the only disadvantage is that once the investigation is successful at the same time and place, if the points are too low to detect more information, and the judgment is made again, no matter how high the points are, no new information will be detected.
Zheng Xiu has personally confirmed this during the speed brushing process.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it can be investigated.
More and less are just relative terms, it is better than nothing.
[You saw a village from a distance. 】
[This must be Baili Village. 】
[What a peaceful and peaceful place hidden in troubled times. 】
[You are alone. Although the rain has stopped, you are lost in the woods. 】
[Although I don’t want to disturb the villagers, I have no choice but you are already hungry. If you don’t stay overnight in the village and are alone in the forest at night, something may happen to you. 】
[You are wary. Bandits are in power all around. The world is in a bleak state. Why are there no bandits to plunder Baili Village? 】
[So you made a decision. 】
After the investigation was successful, three options floated in front of Zheng Xiu.
[The lone shadow of the village ahead makes you feel uneasy, so you decide to sleep in the forest. 】
[You are starving and decide to go to Baili Village to stay overnight. 】
[You want to leave this forest no matter what. Even if you encounter a wild beast in the forest and fall into the belly of the beast, you will have no regrets. Just treat it as a good deed. 】
[Detection] is indeed a good skill.
The great success brought a lot of information.
Especially the last sentence makes sense.
In the end, Zheng Xiu learned from the pain and decided to advance to Baili Village.
Entering the village, Zheng Xiu looked at the surrounding environment. The village is not big, with about twenty households looking from a distance. A fair and fat old man called himself the village chief and opened the door. There was a fire in the house. When Zheng Xiu was welcomed into the house, he found that there were several outsiders in the house who did not look like villagers.
The village chief said that this group of people also came to take shelter from the rain and stay overnight.
The other party was wearing a raincoat and had a sword in his hand. Zheng Xiu's eyes were hot and he almost thought he was a bandit.
Later, I took a closer look at the other party's expression, especially the old man at the head. Even though he was caught in the rain, his hair and beard were neatly combed. When Zheng Xiu stepped over the threshold, the other party looked at Zheng Xiu with wariness hidden in his eyes, and soon he Look away.
This time, Zheng Xiu did not need to use his [Investigation] ability. Through his own observation, he was also vaguely aware of the other party's identity.
Boss Zheng has dealt with such people many times.
It's not rich, it's expensive.
Rich people all have one obvious characteristic: they are afraid of death, especially afraid of death.
Seeing the old man carefully taking out a silver needle from his arms and inserting it into the soup to confirm that it was non-toxic before letting others take it, Zheng Xiu nodded secretly, becoming even more sure of this matter.
Zheng Xiu lowered his head and drank the broth. The village chief said that it was white carp that was abundant in the village. The meat was tender and smooth, and the fish soup was sweet and delicious. Even Boss Zheng, who has eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, almost bit off his own tongue when he drank this fish soup for the first time.
"Is this a fish?"
Zheng Xiu was skeptical at first, but the village chief smiled and fished out the rotten fish bones from the pot, and then Zheng Xiu believed it.
Glancing at the soft fish skeletons, Zheng Xiu drank one bowl and was about to add another bowl when a strange thought flashed through his mind:
"Why are all the fish bones missing the heads?"
