Strange rules: starting with a white-haired beauty

Just as Lan Zhirou and Bai Jin were discussing their thoughts about Gu Yuejing, a familiar prompt sounded in its mind again.

Lan Zhirou, who had already experienced this kind of thing once, naturally knew what happened, and her talent [According to God's Will] was activated again.

[A major plot branch has been completed (The Well of the Red Moon Falls), and the Tarot Card XX - Judgment? has been restored to the card library that complies with God's will. 】

[XX - Judgment? Reversed Judgment: Protect the holder when held. When the holder confronts the unspeakable thing, the holder will be harmed by the unspeakable thing on behalf of the holder, saving the holder from one harm. Afterwards, Judgment Reversed will shatter. 】

Just like the previous reversed chariot, there is also a sentence below the Tarot card: (May you redeem those found wanting. May you redeem those found wanting.)

Different from the scene when the reversed chariot was drawn, the reversed judgment did not appear in the tarot card library in Lan Zhirou's mind, but appeared in Lan Zhirou's hand. The feeling of reversed judgment was more Completely different from the illusory stars, the feeling of holding Judgment in her hand was real, as if Lan Zhirou was holding something not a card, but a stone slab.

"Then Zhirou, do we still want to go in and find out?"

"Why not?" Lan Zhirou weighed the Judgment Reversed Tarot Card in her hand. In fact, she had originally thought about giving up Gu Yue Well. After all, she had also considered that the rules might be true. Drinking Gu Yue Well The water in the well is really immune to interference from those voices and strange stalkers, but drinking the water from the Gu Yue Well according to the ritual means choosing to take sides. Is there really no price for this choice? Can she still take action against the party on her side at that time?

Under the current circumstances, it's actually not worth the risk.

"Do you want me to save more people like the curator..." After sighing, Lan Zhirou looked at the tarot card in her hand again.

She did not choose the Reversed Judgment, it was the Reversed Judgment that chose her, just like her natural name, in compliance with the will of God. Just as the curator said at the time, maybe her coming here is a mission from God... What's more, her talent suddenly activated once, indicating that Gu Yuejing itself is an important plot branch. If she missed it, wouldn't it be wrong? The so-called providence of God is wasted.

"Let's go..." After a long time, Lan Zhirou held the tarot cards and said softly. Immediately, the light around her disappeared and reintegrated into Lan Zhirou's body.

After walking into the boulevard in the direction indicated by the road sign, it didn't take long for Lan Zhirou to see a dilapidated ancient well. Even Sadako would not be willing to live in such a broken well that looked like it had not been repaired for countless years. .

At this time, a woman walked over to the ancient well. She had just put the barrel down with the well rope and brought up a full bucket of water. She seemed to have finished her work and was going to put all the water into the kettle at her feet. among.

"Hello, excuse me." Lan Zhirou's voice sounded from behind the woman.

The woman seemed not to have expected anyone to come here. She was really startled. She immediately dropped the water runner in her hand and stood aside, about five or six meters away from Lan Zhirou.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

After seeing the woman's reaction, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Lan Zhirou's mouth. It was just as she expected. This man's reaction was no different from that of the villagers. But what surprised her was that this man seemed to be wearing clothes for some reason. It is similar to the dark gray clothes of employees, but if it is compared to the kind of real-world scenic spot staff, this work clothes seems a bit too serious, and there is an indescribable feeling of weirdness.

"Sorry, I'm lost. Where is this place?" Lan Zhirou replied with a smile, and also asked a small question.

"No, I don't know, leave quickly. You are not from here, and this is not the place you should come to!" Although she was saying something to drive people away, Lan Zhirou could hear the meaning in the woman's words. A hint of panic.

"You seem to be a staff member here. Can I ask you something? To be precise, I am a lost tourist here. I need your help with a little something."

"I don't know anything, don't ask me!" The woman in gray uniform was obviously extremely resistant to answering any questions and just kept shaking her head.

"I'm just thirsty. Can you give me some of the water you fetched? I just need a sip." Lan Zhirou was still hung up

The "kind" smile did not show any dissatisfaction because of the woman's attitude.

"No, absolutely not!" The woman shook her head like a rattle, walked over and poured the water from the bucket into the kettle in her hand, picked up the kettle and was about to leave.

"Then...if I fetch water myself, can the water in the well be drinkable? Especially since I am an atheist and I don't want to pray to something strange before fetching water."

After watching the process of the woman fetching water, Lan Zhirou suddenly had a strange idea. If there would be problems no matter which party I prayed to, what would happen if I fetched water without praying?

"You..." A look of extreme panic appeared on the woman's face for a moment, and then she returned to her previous appearance and replied: "No! You must not drink it!"

The woman's words were extremely firm, and there was no hesitation in the tone of her answer this time. But Lan Zhirou, who used to be a writer of mystery novels, understood that this woman was lying because her eyes betrayed her.

Some people will look to the upper right when they are lying under interrogation. This is the habit of looking to the upper right when a person is imagining and making things up. On the contrary, looking to the upper left is when recalling. Obviously this woman is one of the people with this habit, and during this period, although this woman acted panicked, she was not really so. The frequency of her blinking dropped significantly, which shows that she actually wanted to perform. It leaves no trace.

But Lan Zhirou, who discovered this, naturally couldn't believe her lies. The more firmly she spoke, the more Lan Zhirou would listen to her in the opposite direction. She said that a person who weighs one hundred pounds and ninety-nine pounds is all because of her own selfishness. A battle of wits and courage.

And not to mention that she was lying, Lan Zhirou had completely seen the whole process of fetching water. This woman did not do anything to pray out of thin air. If the well water fetched like this was not drinkable, What was she doing when she went back to fetch water? Was she planning to poison the stray cat?
