After reuniting with Qi Yue, Fang Yu, at the instruction of the "captain", very consciously followed Qi Sheng and joined the team taking care of the wounded.

Chi Yu did not follow blindly like his teammates and tried to impress the two brothers and sisters who were "hard-hearted" with his attentive attitude. Instead, he decided to use the few time to walk around and see the village.

By the way... verify one of my guesses.

Chi Yu briefly mentioned his thoughts to Qu Yiyang.

Although he intuitively thought there was no danger, the latter thought for a moment and sent Lin Shenze to Chi Yu.

Qin Zhen is currently staying at the landing point, accompanying the unconscious He Meimei, Shi Ling and Chu Musu... Due to various reasons, Qu Yiyang himself and Fang Yu have to collect clues from Qi Sheng and the other two.

After all the calculations, only a non-combatant like Lin Shenze could free up.

Considering Chi Yu's combat prowess...well, the combination of a violent girl and a careful healer seems to be a good match.

Chi Yu didn't think too much.

In fact, if it weren't for Qu Yiyang's worries, she would even want to leave Lin Shenze and act alone... It would give her freedom and make it easier to evacuate in case of danger.

Lin Shenze didn't realize at all that he was "disliked" by his teammates. As he followed Chi Yu westward, he curiously asked: "Where are we going?"

He looked at the direction and guessed, "Ancestral hall?"

Based on his limited understanding of Shenyou Village, it seems that this is the only landmark building located in the center of the village.

Chi Yu nodded and took the initiative to explain before he asked the second question: "I'm going to find Wu Zhu."

"...Wuzhu?"

Lin Shenze glanced behind him subconsciously.

It took him two seconds to realize that the "Wuzhu" in Chi Yu's mouth did not refer to Qi Yue, but...

He blinked: "Shenyou Village...the Shenyou Village in this illusion, isn't the current witch Zhu Qi Yue?"

"Judging from what Qi Sheng said, it shouldn't be the case."

Although in the real Shenyou Village, strictly speaking, the current witch Zhu is not Qi Yue, but Qi Yue's master... But whether it is "reality" or the first illusion, Qi Yue has obviously already firmly established himself as the "Witch" Wish” this location.

This can be seen from the names the villagers called her in the first illusion.

Chi Yu paused for a moment and analyzed in detail: "You should still remember, right? Qi Sheng said before the battle with the monster, 'When the time comes, Wu Zhu will activate the formation base.'"

"...It seems there is." Lin Shenze recalled.

In fact, he couldn't remember clearly, but he still chose to believe in Chi Yu... just like he chose to believe in Qu Yiyang and He Meimei in the past.

"Actually, this is just my guess."

Chi Yu first stacked layers of armor on himself, "According to normal people's thinking logic, 'formation bases' that can act on all directions at the same time are either scattered in various directions, or placed in the center of the village."

"And the Wu Zhu and Qi Yue we have in mind are the 'guardians' of the southern defense line."

Lin Shenze seemed to understand: "You mean...Qi Yue, who has been staying in the south from beginning to end, has no conditions and should not be the one to activate the formation base?"

"That's right." Chi Yu nodded.

"However...it was not this reason that directly prompted me to make this judgment, but another reason."

She glanced at her teammates, "Do you still remember how Qi Sheng called his junior sister in the 'real world'?"

Lin Shenze thought for a long time... and didn't remember.

Seeing this, Chi Yu responded very naturally: "Yueyue."

Lin Shenze suddenly realized: "...So, from the familiarity of the title, it can be seen that the 'Wuzhu' in Qi Sheng's mouth does not refer to Qi Yue?"

After he finished speaking, he frowned and said, "Wait a minute, is it possible... that after Qi Yue succeeded Wu Zhu, Qi Sheng changed her tune in order to help her establish her prestige?"

"Furthermore, Yiyang quietly told us before... You should have noticed that the character of Qi Sheng in this illusion is completely different from the one in the real world."

"Maybe he is more serious and doesn't like the intimate title of 'Yueyue'?"

"Makes sense."

Chi Yu agreed, "So, I think it is necessary to go to the ancestral hall to verify it."

"By the way...don't you feel curious?"

"...What are you curious about?"

Lin Shenze's expression was already a little numb, and the words "Speak directly if you have anything to say" were written all over his face.

For a doctor whose thinking ability is only a little higher than Fang Yu... it is really difficult for him to analyze the problem based on the facts.

Chi Yu didn't pay attention to his reaction: "Since this is a world created based on reality, then Qi Sheng and Qi Yue are still the apprentices of the third Wu Zhu."

"But... the master of this illusion is the first Wu Zhu who does not agree with her ideas."

Speaking of this, Chi Yu's calm tone was filled with a little interest, "How do the two of them get along here...?"

"You said that..." Lin Shenze's eyes widened.

The curiosity in my heart disappeared in a flash, and was replaced by deep shock and eagerness, "Wait...could this be the 'loophole' in the illusion?"

Chi Yu nodded lightly: "This is why I can't wait to go to the ancestral hall."

When Lin Shenze heard this, an inexplicable sense of responsibility suddenly surged in his heart.

He straightened his back subconsciously, but he was obviously hesitant: "It's just the two of us...will..."

"Relax, just like yesterday, all we have to do is write down everything we see and hear." Chi Yu took out his pen and paper as a demonstration.

"Besides..." She turned around, seeming to say teasingly, "Aren't you a 'reporter'? This should be your job, right?"

"……Too."

Lin Shenze breathed a sigh of relief and smiled shyly.

The two of them followed the bumpy path and arrived at the familiar ancestral hall.

The huge courtyard is as quiet and deserted as the "real world". Only the neatly trimmed flowers and plants in the courtyard are blowing in the wind, bringing an indescribable vitality to the whole picture.

Even though he had done enough mental preparation on the way here, when it came time to make the final move, Lin Shenze couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Chi Yu stopped at the door of the courtyard and turned to look at his companions: "At least for now, we are still allies of Shenyou Village. We just went in to ask a few questions... and there should be no danger."

"If you're really worried..."

"No!" Lin Shenze firmly rejected Chi Yu's offer to put himself in danger, "Let's go in together."

Chi Yu said "Okay" and took the lead in crossing the threshold and stepping on the road paved with bluestone slabs.
