"Brothers, please come out, he's fallen." When the waiter saw that Qi Zhen and the other five people were no longer moving, he shouted to the kitchen.
The three people walked out of the back kitchen. They didn't look fierce, but like the people living here, they looked sallow and thin, and looked very poor.
However, unlike others, the expressions these people looked at Qi Zhen and the five people at this time were not indifferent, but full of greed.
"This medicine is not cheap. If you make a mistake and can't find a few taels of silver, then we will lose money." One of the people said to the waiter.
"Don't worry, I just looked carefully. The clothes these people are wearing are all genuine clothes from Suzhou Xiufang. Look at the stitching. This fabric is unmistakable!" The waiter pointed at Qi Zhen and others. clothes said.
"Even if these people don't have a penny on them, if you strip them off, you won't lose money if you sell these clothes! Hehe."
When talking about things like taking off clothes, the four people naturally looked at the two women, Jiang Yan and Meng Ran, and their words were a bit lewd.
"But I haven't seen such a pretty girl in a few days. We guys are lucky today."
Originally, according to Qi Zhen's intention, he wanted to see if these people could reveal any useful information while everyone in the team was "coma".
Hearing the other party say this, Qi Zhen helplessly thought that this time it was all over.
Qi Zhen raised her head and saw Yu Liang's eyes that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Why are you messing with them?
Li Qiang raised his head, but there was no surprise on his face. Perhaps he had already expected the result.
Jiang Yan looked at Qi Zhen with complaints in her eyes, which probably meant that she was looking at this bad idea you came up with.
The four people in the inn didn't notice that Qi Zhen and the others were awake, because all their attention was attracted by the figure walking towards them.
Or shocked.
Meng Ran walked up to a few people with a frosty look on his face, with a faint smile on his lips, which looked a little scary.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Ahhhhhh.
Qi Zhen didn't even look back, she could imagine the pain of having her joints removed, and she couldn't help but shudder.
Ignoring the four men moaning and groaning on the ground, Qi Zhen said softly: "Miss, that's about it. I still have something to ask."
The four people were lying on the ground, covering their shoulders in unison. They still haven't figured out how they were dislocated by a weak-looking woman.
Meng Ran squatted on the ground, still looking at the four people in front of him expressionlessly, as if he was studying whether it was better to break his fingers first, or to kick his knees first so that they could not run.
Hearing their annoying cries of pain, Meng Ran thought whether he should remove his chin first?
After hearing Qi Zhen's words, Meng Ran stopped moving and stood aside.
Qi Zhen walked up to the four people and asked first: "Who among the four of you can make the decision?"
The humming gradually became quieter, but no one answered Qi Zhen's words.
Qi Zhen shook her head, walked to the waiter, and chopped it off with one kick.
Click.
The waiter's ankle was broken by Qi Zhen's step.
"Ah!" The waiter screamed, and the bodies of the other three people trembled.
"I talk to you nicely, but you must not think that I am really easy to talk to." Qi Zhen said lightly.
"When I ask a question again, whoever answers the slowest will be unlucky. Do you understand?"
The other three nodded regardless of the severe pain in their shoulders.
The waiter's face was already covered with sweat in pain, so he didn't care what Qi Zhen asked.
So Qi Zhen stepped down again, and the waiter's other foot was declared useless with a horrifying sound of broken bones.
"Ah!" A pig-like howl sounded, and the waiter was already in tears.
However, he ignored the cry of pain and began to nod desperately.
Meng Ran couldn't stand it any longer, so he sat back at the table and said calmly: "There is no technical content at all, so it will be troublesome to pick it up later."
Yu Liang glanced at her sideways and didn't dare to speak. He thought she thought it was too cruel.
"That's great." Qi Zhen nodded.
"Why drug us?" Qi Zhen asked next.
"Money! We are too poor, just for money!" Before the other three people could speak, one of them shouted desperately.
Bang.
"ah!"
This man couldn't figure out why he would end up like the waiter after telling the truth.
"You lied, didn't you? Just for money, why do you want to be evil towards the two girls?"
Although Qi Zhen's tone was a bit frivolous, the four of them could see that Qi Zhen's face was expressionless. This was the thing that frightened them the most.
"We were wrong. Sir, please be kind and let us go!" Another person saw what Qi Zhen did and finally couldn't stand it any longer and begged loudly for mercy.
Bang.
"ah!"
"When I'm not asking you questions, please be quiet and don't talk. The national law is supreme, and I'm not the kind of ruthless person. Can you please stop breaking my bottom line again and again?"
The four people's hearts say that you didn't say a single human word. Are you going to return the law of the country? Return the bottom line?
They hoped that Shucheng's officers and soldiers would come here quickly and arrest them.
Qi Zhen walked up to the last man whose ankle was not trampled by her, and said softly: "I don't think the three of them are trustworthy. Tell me, what is going on?"
With the lessons learned from the other three people, how could this person have any reason to hide anything?
Everything he knew was as easy as pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, and Qi Zhen explained everything without having to speak again.
This is a very simple and crude psychological strategy, but it is effective enough.
A method often used in ancient criminal trials to interrogate accomplices.
Several accomplices, in order to prevent the other party from colluding in confession or deliberately deceiving, often kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
The specific method is not to kill a chicken and show it to several monkeys, but to kill all the chickens and leave only one monkey.
Make that monkey think he might be a chicken too.
Qi Zhen doesn't care at all who makes the decision among these people, and doesn't care whether what they tell is the truth or lies. Even if the other party doesn't answer, Qi Zhen will find an excuse to destroy the remaining two people. one.
The result of this is that the remaining person will cherish this hard-won chance of survival and reveal his or her heart to every detail.
It's not like Qi Zhen can't use Sharingan to achieve the same purpose.
It's just easier this way.
Things in Shucheng are very simple, but also not simple.
What is simple is how things happened, what is not simple is the cause of things.
Shucheng is backed by the Dabie Mountains and faces Chaohu Lake. It can be regarded as being surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although it is not very prosperous, the people can barely live and work in peace and contentment relying on the production of game and mountain products in the mountains.
There are even several wealthy households in the county who assist the county magistrate to repair the roads in the county every year. It is far from the desolate scene Qi Zhen's team sees now.
But in less than a year, earth-shaking changes have taken place here.
The Dabie Mountains are beginning to be haunted.
At the beginning, some hunters in the county encountered ghosts hitting the wall when they entered the mountains. No matter what, they could not get out of the Dabie Mountains. It was not until daytime the next day that they discovered that they were actually less than five miles into the mountains. place.
There are brave people who do not believe in evil and forcefully crawl into the mountains to make a living. When they come out, they become crazy and cannot even utter a complete sentence.
What's more, after entering the mountain, he never came out again. It is not known whether he died in it or what.
Gradually, the haunting situation became more and more serious, and gradually affected Shucheng.
Some people began to go crazy in the county for no reason, screaming miserably on the street in the middle of the night, and half of the county could hear the horrifying sound.
Someone saw a ghost girl getting married on the street at night, and two bearers carried a bright red sedan chair and floated into the mountains.
In short, more and more strange things are happening here.
Everyone who has the ability to leave here has all left.
There are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left who can't leave, plus people like the waiter who is lazy and good at eating, and they can barely maintain the popularity of this place.
The county magistrate even took his wife, children, and children to escape somewhere.
Qi Zhen suddenly realized that no wonder the team hadn't seen a single decent soldier since entering this place.
It turns out that there is no official government here anymore.
The local people began to raise money spontaneously and donated almost all the gods they knew to the temple, but until now, it still had no effect.
Qi Zhen knew that she had gone astray.
I thought that the people here relied on faith to improve their lives because of poverty.
Unexpectedly, it is to ward off evil spirits.
The four of them were all natives of the same age. They were all of the same age. Together, they opened this inn in order to rob passers-by of their money. Anyway, go on from here and enter. The Dabie Mountains are also destined to die without life, so it is better to help them.
As for those who are familiar with this place, no one will return to this eerie place, let alone stay in the hotel.
The team members glanced at each other, and they all frowned as they didn't expect that things here had reached such a serious level.
Whether the system deliberately designed the team to come here to break the situation, or whether Shushan is too busy to take care of the situation here, it makes no difference to everyone now.
Everyone on the left and right wants to enter the Dabie Mountains.
As for the four people in front of me...
"It's better not to kill if you can." Li Qiang said.
"But if we don't kill them, how can we arrange them? We can't just let them moan like this." Jiang Yan asked with a frown.
"The arms are easy to handle, but these feet..." Meng Ran hesitated.
"It's okay, it's okay, gentlemen, we can leave on our own. Thank you for not killing me. Thank you for not killing me!"
There were four people, you supporting me and I supporting you. The two lamely held the waiter on their legs and crawled out.
"Did I let you go?" Qi Zhen's gloomy voice sounded from behind them, and the faces of the four people changed color instantly.
