If this were true, it would definitely crush those annoying statements completely!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yun's expression became more serious, and she carefully and seriously peeled the skin on Gu Siyi's neck to search.

Gu Siyi felt warm in his heart, thinking that Zhou Yun cared about him.

It was just a little uncomfortable to have my skin peeled off for inspection. My originally fair neck was now covered with some finger marks, making the already tiny wound even harder to be discovered.

So, after the inspection yielded no results, Zhou Yun could only apologize to the director awkwardly.

Gu Siyi wanted to say something else, but when she met Chen Shu's gaze, she shuddered and recalled the fear of her life being threatened before.

Gu Siyi's rare quiet appearance made the director unable to help but take a few more glances at her, then he left with a stern face, asking everyone to continue exploring.

After a good rest, the group reached the top of the mountain and found a simple sign with the words "Mountain God Temple" written in Slender Gold font.

But after looking around, they didn't find anything resembling an altar. There was only a lonely plaque leaning against a huge rock, as if it had been taken down from somewhere.

Chen Shuo stepped forward, picked up the plaque and examined it for any additional gadgets.

The people who were originally wandering around looking for clues couldn't help but cast their eyes on Chen Shu.

After groping inch by inch, Chen Shuo finally found the tiny crack on the plaque that was covered by the font on the plaque.

Because the Song font is thin in nature, no one thought there could be gaps in the font until Chen Shu discovered it.

Chen Shuo inserted his ID card and the intercom on his waist made a sound:

"Strange? Why is this plaque like this? Oh no! There was a landslide! The mountain god is dead..."

Finally, there was a sharp and piercing sound, like the humming sound of some mechanical instrument failure, and everyone was so irritated that they covered their ears.

Chen Shuo took out his ID card and put it away. He naturally took over the leadership and concluded:

"…It seems that one of us is a mountain god."

Zhou Yun subconsciously glanced at Gu Siyi and saw that he was looking at Chen Shuo and didn't even notice her gaze. She secretly hated him and immediately jumped out to refute him:

"Wait! Did you skip too much information? What's the meaning of such a meaningless sentence? Don't talk nonsense without any clues!"

Chen Shuo glanced at Zhou Yun with disdain, as if he couldn't understand how someone could not know such a simple thing.

So Xixi, who was originally curious and wanted to ask a question, shut up and pretended that she understood.

Chen Shu glanced at the comments and found that the audience was also curious about the reason, so he patiently answered:

"The mountain god is dead, which means that the mountain god is a specific person, and we don't see anyone here, which means that the mountain god is among us."

Zhou Yun was furious at that look and started to find fault decisively:

"What makes you say that? Can't that landslide mean that the mountain god is dead?"

"How should I put it... Generally speaking, unless all the plants withered or the mountain was flattened, we would say that the mountain god was dead; but a landslide is more like the mountain god was angry."

Zhou Yun gritted her teeth and continued to find fault: "That's not right! How can you be sure that he is among us? We are outsiders!"

Chen Shu smiled and said, "Don't forget, there are still three of us who can change our identities."

Gu Siyi's expression changed slightly, and he called Zhou Yun: "Okay, she is a detective, she may have got a clue somewhere."

Zhou Yun bit her lip unwillingly, but she also knew that if she continued asking, the "three people" might become the target of public criticism, so she had to shut up.

The fact that he didn't actually do it seemed to have given Gu Siyi some false confidence. After he recovered, he even secretly hinted that Chen Shu had private clues.

Chen Shu sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, naughty kids should be taught a real lesson, otherwise their courage will only grow like cockroaches and continue to multiply and provoke us.

It's a bit too much of an eyesore.

Gu Siyi felt a chill on his spine. He looked left and right but didn't see anything, so he just thought that the wind on the top of the mountain was too strong.

Zhou Yun also felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart. She trusted her intuition more and shrank towards Gu Siyi.

Xixi couldn't help but be curious: "Statement, so what should we do next?"

"Of course, I'm looking for the mountain temple."

"But have you searched everywhere nearby?"

"The recording mentioned a landslide, which usually happens on steep slopes. Only the plaque is left here. The mountain temple may have been washed to the foot of the mountain. We can find the mountain temple by going down the steep slope with a lot of mud."

"I see! Chen Shu, you are so smart!"

Chen Shu smiled but said nothing. This knowledge was just common sense she had acquired from acting in so many plays in her previous life.

It was getting dark by this time, and everyone agreed to go back and have a good night's rest before continuing the investigation.

The next day, everyone gathered in the lounge, and another group used the information they got from the mayor as an exchange of clues.

It turned out that this town was frequently affected by landslides, and most of the young people had moved away, leaving only some stubborn old people and a few children who were unable to take care of themselves.

Later, as the tourism industry developed, many teams were stationed here to investigate the causes of frequent landslides and take measures to control them.

At this time, the old woman's child was missing in a landslide. The old woman initially said that the child was dead, but later she started to hold the fake doll in a crazy manner and said that it was her child and needed urgent medical treatment.

The old people in the village thought that the child had gone to become a mountain god to enjoy life. Until the matter was discovered and reported, the tourism industry gradually declined, and even the garden carefully maintained by the botanist gradually became deserted. There were not many people here, only a few old people.

Xixi couldn't help but retort: ​​"That's not right. Didn't the doctor say at the beginning that he was indeed a child who needed treatment? If he died, who would we save?"

"Save the mountain god."

Zhou Yun was determined.

"But...didn't Chen Shu say yesterday that the mountain god is among us?"

"The boy is definitely dead, but the mountain god is not necessarily dead. And the statement is just speculation, not the truth."

"Zhou Yun, you must be one of those three people."

Zhou Yun's eyes flashed with panic: "What are you talking about? I'm just making a reasonable guess!"

"I just said yesterday that I might be able to change my ID card to a mountain god, and today you're trying to classify the mountain god as an NPC?"

The guests next to her began to look at Zhou Yun with something strange in their eyes.

Zhou Yun couldn't help but look at Gu Siyi for help. Gu Siyi cursed her as "idiot" but still had to step forward to help.

"Chen Shuo, since you said that, do you have any ideas for the next investigation?"

Chen Shuo spread his hands and said, "I can't say anything. After all, I was speaking normally yesterday, but I was accused of wanting to harm someone."

Gu Siyi gritted his teeth: "What else do you want?"

"I don't have any hobbies. I just like to play with cats and dogs."

Gu Siyi kicked the stool over: "What do you mean?!"
