It seems there is another hidden plot.
But it's okay as long as Li Xu is not dead, and judging from his appearance just now, it doesn't look like he was seriously injured, so it was he who severely injured the person who came to the Blood Clothes Sect?
Gu Ling frowned and thought for a while, but the available information was too little and she couldn't deduce anything, so she had to give up. Instead, I chewed on the two rules when I first entered the game and tried to deduce the conditions for passing the game.
What puzzles her the most is that Rules 1 and 2 seem to be somewhat repetitive. The former has already stated that "if any disciple dies, the game will fail", but the latter immediately states that "the number of sect disciples at the end of the game must not be less than 2". Don’t these two rules mean the same thing?
She and Li Xu are the only disciples of the Blood Clothes Sect. As long as they protect Li Xu while ensuring their own safety, isn't that enough? Why do rules need to be repeated over and over again?
What's wrong...
Gu Lingxin was lying on the small bamboo couch belonging to Li Pan, and suddenly realized what the problem was.
She is now Li Pan and a disciple of the Blood Clothes Sect. The game settlement refers to the time when she leaves the game and returns to the real world. If she leaves as Li Pan at that time, then the Blood Clothes Sect will only have Li Xu as a disciple. .
Therefore, the rules actually require that in addition to Li Pan and Li Xu, there must be other disciples in the Blood Clothes Sect.
Do you want to recruit people from the sect? I'm afraid it's more than that. Gu Lingxin frowned. Li Xu, who was being targeted by other sects and had something to hide, seemed to have a secret that she hadn't discovered yet.
This "game" is really like a huge plot-oriented online game.
The problem is how to discover more plots.
The night was uneventful, and when Gu Lingxin came to visit the master the next day, Li Xu was already waiting by the master's bed with a bowl of pimple soup with egg flakes.
Gu Lingxin glanced at the bowl of hot soup and once again had a new understanding of the poverty of the Xueyi Sect.
The master's name was Shu Shihan, an unknown outer disciple of Zhenwu Sect. When he saw Gu Lingxin, a worried look appeared on his face. He immediately pulled Li Xu away and said to Gu Lingxin: " Pan'er, were you injured when you broke into Zhenwumen yesterday?"
"No."
Shu Shihan nodded, with a worried look on his face, and said: "My senior brother has always been narrow-minded. If he uses this to instigate Zhenwu Sect to attack... the Blood Clothes Sect may not be able to escape this disaster."
"Master, don't worry, I'm here." Gu Lingxin said words that fit Li Pan's character, but she was confused. Shu Shihan clearly saw her and the player using their awakening ability, why didn't he ask her? Have NPCs automatically accepted the setting that they are infected, or do they have similar techniques in this fictional game world?
"Master, what is your senior brother's status in the sect? He intends to kill his fellow sect members, but does the leader not care about him?" Gu Lingxin asked.
Shu Shihan touched the tip of his nose and replied awkwardly: "My senior brother's name is Wen Renchang. He is responsible for managing the medicinal field inside the door. I stole his medicinal herbs and sold them many times. This time he caught me. It’s inevitable to feel resentful.”
Gu Lingxin was confused when she heard this: "Why are you stealing other people's herbs?"
Shu Shihan chuckled, took out a banknote from his arms and gave it to Gu Lingxin, "I'm not thinking about your martial arts breakthrough. Xu'er is still growing, and I want to buy two chickens to supplement your health."
A disciple of the Blood Clothes Sect who steals the medicinal herbs from the Zhen Martial Sect, you are really a competent master... Gu Ling suddenly felt a sore eye in his heart. This was the onset of Li Pan's emotions.
It was not easy for Shu Shihan to bring Li Pan and Li Xu together.
Shu Shihan seemed to have thought of something again, and continued: "Senior Brother Wenren will definitely retaliate. When he came to capture me earlier, he discovered this place. Pan'er, you can find a new place to go in the next few days. Let's move as soon as possible."
Shu Shihan only did the work of sweeping and organizing classics in Zhenwu Sect. He had learned nothing about swordsmanship and mental skills for so many years. He briefly estimated the strength of the Blood Clothes Sect and the Zhenwu Sect. If there was a conflict between the two sides, Li Pan and Li Xu had no chance of winning.
To be precise, among the three people present, only Li Pan could fight.
"No." Li Xu, who had been silent until Gu Lingxin spoke, suddenly spoke.
There was an inexplicable sadness in the young man's dark eyes: "Can you... not leave?"
Shu Shihan frowned: "You..."
"Master." Gu Lingxin didn't give Shu Shihan a chance to speak, "I don't want to leave either."
Li Xu is an important character in her part of the plot. If he refuses to leave, there must be reasons for the general direction of the plot. What's more, Gu Lingxin was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know where to find a new base for the Blood Clothes Sect.
Shu Shihan looked left and right, wanting to give some more advice, but then realized that he had no right to speak in front of the two apprentices.
At this time, there was a burst of noise outside the hospital, and then Wen Renchang's voice was heard from far away: "Destroy the evil cult! Kill the evil girl!"
Then the voices of many people came together: "Destroy the evil cult! Kill the witch!"
Gu Lingxin's face was cold. When he walked out of the door, he saw Wen Renchang and a group of Zhenwu sect disciples approaching menacingly. There were two groups of people dressed as officers beside them. When they saw Gu Lingxin coming out, they all showed their weapons.
Gu Lingxin's eyes glowed with golden light. Her gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally landed on the awakened person who bore Wen Renchang's identity. Her golden majestic eyes contained a murderous intent: "For the sake of this, I spared your life for the sake of the players, but you don’t want to live anymore.”
Wen Renchang snorted coldly: "There can only be one winner in the 'game', and that's me."
He took two steps forward, raised his sword in a pretentious manner, and shouted to the many disciples behind him: "Kill the witch!"
"Kill the witch!" Everyone shouted after him.
Gu Ling was a little unhappy. After entering the game, she didn't even recognize the NPC's name. This awakened person, who was a disciple of the Zhenwu Sect, was about to become the leader of the Zhenwu Sect.
She silently took a few steps forward, facing the huge crowd alone. The golden light in her eyes became more and more dazzling, and the violent cyclone bulged up her clothes and hair.
Wen Renchang's forearm and the long sword in his hand were shining with blue-purple electric light. He rushed to the front, quickly approached Gu Lingxin, and then raised the black iron long sword that was shining with electric light high.
"Poof!" The invisible air flow was one step faster than his movements, and the sharp air blade quickly moved towards Wen Renchang's throat, and with unparalleled momentum, cut off his head.
The blood fountain gushed out, the electric light dimmed, and the skull with an angry expression rolled to the ground, rolling all the way to Gu Lingxin's feet.
Gu Lingxin raised her boots, stepped on the head's face, and raised her golden eyes, "Who else wants to kill me?"
