Seeing these words, Nan Yuan was suddenly startled,

"Where did you find this?"

Jiang Qiu said in a deep voice,

"On Tang Xu's body."

"Tang Xu?"

Nan Yuan frowned immediately, "Why does she have this hand card?"

Jiang Qiu: "There are only two possibilities. One, she is the sacrificial offering, and second, she is the person looking for the sacrificial offering."

The details obtained from the son of the owner of the bank show that the task of finding the sacrificial offerings has been completed. If Tang Xu is the one who is looking for the sacrificial offerings, then there should be another character beside her who acts as a sacrificial offering. However, they came to the Village of the Brave After that, only she was seen, and no other characters were seen, so this assumption is not valid.

Therefore, there is only one possibility.

Tang Xu, she is a sacrificial object...

Nan Yuan couldn't help recalling that the way the bank owner sent sacrifices to the Dragon King was by setting the diary with his son's soul on fire.

That is to say, sacrificial objects are sacrificed by burning.

combustion……

At this moment, Nanyuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, thinking of something,

"Could it be possible that the villagers' gathering at night in the Village of the Brave is not for public punishment, but for sacrifice?"

Because Tang Xu was chosen as a sacrificial offering, there was a hand card with "Sacrificial Offering" written on it.

At this moment, I saw Zou Jingcheng holding the hand card with "sacrifice offering" written on it, comparing it with his own hand card,

"Except for the blood on it, the size and material of this hand are exactly the same as our test props."

Nan Yuan took the card in his hand and compared it with his own bronze card.

Sure enough, as Zou Jingcheng said, the size and material of the two cards are the same.

Nan Yuan: "This hand card with sacrificial offerings is written on it, it can't be an exam prop?"

Zou Jingcheng: "Let's go to the bank's self-check scoring system. Since the sizes are the same, maybe the scoring system can also identify them."

So, the three of them went to the bank together, and entered the small room next to them for self-checking.

After inserting the hand card into the groove, a string of information appeared in front of him instantly.

This information is Tang Xu's basic information.

It seems that this hand card is indeed Tang Xu's test props!

only……

"This information seems to have a shadow..."

Zou Jingcheng approached the string of messages and carefully looked at the shadow.

However, the shadow looks very blurry, and it is almost impossible to see what is written on it.

At this moment, Zou Jingcheng turned his head to look at Jiang Qiu, and said in a deep voice,

"Minister Jiang, I remember that you were also caught by the villagers and served as a sacrificial offering. Has there been any change in your test props?"

Jiang Qiu shook his head, "Mine doesn't seem to have changed."

With that said, he took out his bronze hand card.

Zou Jingcheng took the cards in his hand and looked around.

In appearance, they are no different from their test props.

At this moment, Zou Jingcheng raised the card in his hand and shone it along the light.

At this moment, Nan Yuan could not help but take a deep breath.

Under the illumination of the light, a mark was printed on Jiang Qiu's hand card.

On this mark, the words "sacrifice" can be vaguely seen.

Seeing these three words, Jiang Qiu couldn't help frowning,

Zou Jingcheng reached out and put Jiang Qiu's hand card into the groove.

Sure enough, beside Jiang Qiu's message, there was also a shadow.

Seeing this shadow, Jiang Qiu's face became even uglier.

"What do you mean? Is it possible that I am also a sacrifice?"

Zou Jingcheng couldn't help turning his head to look at him,

"Don't you feel that your body is a little different from before?"

At this moment, Nan Yuan couldn't help but nodded,

"Actually, I wanted to ask you earlier, why do you have cigarettes and alcohol on you? Don't you hate the smell of alcohol and tobacco the most?"

Zou Jingcheng: "Also... your hand... is very flexible in stealing..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to gesture to Jiang Qiu's unconscious hand.

Jiang Qiu looked down at the hand hanging by his side.

At this moment, there was a trace of horror in his expression.

"What's going on? Could it be that I've been possessed?"

Zou Jingcheng: "If you are possessed, you should lose your own consciousness. This looks more like consciousness infiltration. That is to say, some of your behavior is controlled by others, but you don't know it yourself."

Jiang Qiu couldn't help frowning, his expression became more serious,

"So...others can still steal my consciousness?"

As he said that, he suddenly thought of something,

"Didn't someone take away the reward we got after completing the task of catching the thief? Could it be that it was because of me..."

Speaking of this, his unconscious hand suddenly clenched into a fist.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qiu's expression became more and more desperate,

"Could it be that what I say and what I think is being monitored..."

As he spoke, he stood up tremblingly, wanting to walk towards the door,

"I... I'd better leave here first..."

However, Zou Jingcheng stretched out his hand to stop him,

"Since you can still act independently now, it means that this special person has not had much influence on you. The less you care about him, the less likely he is to infiltrate your consciousness."

Nan Yuan: "A special person?"

Zou Jingcheng nodded, "Do you still remember that there was a score for finding a special person before? It's just that none of us have found the memory of the special person, and Minister Jiang just lost a memory? I think this memory It's about special people."

Nan Yuan and Jiang Qiu couldn't help but glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.

Nan Yuan: "So, Tang Xu was also infiltrated by a special person? I remember Tang Yi said just now that Tang Xu was numb after waking up, and didn't answer any questions."

Zou Jingcheng nodded: "She is mentally fragile and easily influenced by the outside world, so her consciousness penetrates deeper, as you can tell from the handwriting on her hand."

Nan Yuan looked at the shadow next to the information reflected by the hand card again.

None of their hand cards had this shadow, only Tang Xu and Jiang Qiu had it.

In other words, this shadow must have something to do with a special person.

It's just that the shadow looks very blurry, and the imprint on it can't be seen clearly at all.

It would be great if Jiang Qiu and Tang Xu's respective shadows could be superimposed...

Thinking about it, Nanyuan took Tang Xu's hand card and wanted to try to see if it could be inserted into the groove.

However, the moment he touched the cards in Jiang Qiu's hand, he saw a cloud of black air wrapping the two cards in his hand...

In an instant, the shadow deepened a little.

Although still blurred, there seemed to be a few words recognizable in the name.

It looked like it was the name "Harold".

Seeing this name, Nanyuan couldn't help cheering up,

"Anyway, it's still some time before Geng Mingqiu and Lin Xiaoying leave the village. Let's go to the village and ask if there is any clue related to this name?"

Zou Jingcheng shook his head, "The plots of these villagers are all pre-set. It is impossible for special characters to shoot themselves in the foot and put clues about themselves in their plots."

As he spoke, he patted Jiang Qiu's shoulder,

"However, fortunately we still have Minister Jiang."

After a pause, he said again, "After all, Minister Jiang's consciousness has been infiltrated by a special person. If he suddenly encounters someone or something related to a special person, he will automatically avoid it, right?"

Nan Yuan: "..." Could this be consciousness reverse penetration? ? ?

So, the three of them started searching in the village. Because there was no need to talk to the villagers, and there was no system of favorability with the villagers, and there was a thief like Jiang Qiu, it was relatively convenient to search. In a short time, the few people had already searched the village. Most of the house, but no clues related to this "Hello".

When passing by a cowshed, he saw Jiang Qiu's body unconsciously taking a detour.

Seeing this, Zou Jingcheng stopped in his tracks.

"Wait a moment!"

He looked around the bullpen, "There seems to be a clue here."

Saying that, Zou Jingcheng stepped forward, looked east and west.

Nan Yuan stood there with nothing to do, so he couldn't help but help them find clues.

He looked around the place.

With a bullpen of this size, you can see the end at a glance. Where can there be any clues?

Thinking about it, Nan Yuan kicked the hay on the ground.

The next moment, he saw a keyhole.

...This...is such a coincidence?

He immediately greeted Zou Jingcheng and pointed to the keyhole.

Zou Jingcheng looked up at Jiang Qiu and asked,

"Can you open this lock?"

However, Jiang Qiu rubbed his forehead and shook his head,

"No, I feel very dizzy when I get close to it, let alone unlock it."

At this moment, Nanyuan took out the explosives,

"There is still some left over from what I did before, and it is enough to blow this lock open."

Zou Jingcheng nodded.

After the explosives were placed and ignited, only a loud noise was heard, and a hole was directly blasted into the ground.

Sure enough, there is a hole in the sky below, and there is a long ladder leading to the ground.

Because Jiang Qiu felt uncomfortable with this place, he had to stay outside first, and Nan Yuan and Zou Jingcheng walked down the stairs to the ground.

The moment they walked underground, they were taken aback for an instant.

I saw that the ground was abnormally cold and damp.

On the wall, there is a bracelet and anklet hanging, and there are some daily necessities beside it.

At the same time, a person was seen with his head covered and his hands and feet handcuffed.

Beside his feet, there was another person whose hands and feet were bound, lying on his side beside him...

Seeing the man whose hands and feet were bound, Nan Yuan couldn't help crying out,

"An Siyu!"

Just when he was about to step forward to untie An Siyu's hand, his hand felt numb for an instant, as if he had been electrocuted.

At the same time, Zou Jingcheng's body was instantly blocked in front of him.

After hearing him snort, he said in a deep voice,

"It really is you...Xu Yang..."

After a pause, he spoke again,

"No...you should be called...special person...Harold..."

At this moment, I saw "Xu Yang" grabbing Jiang Qiu's body and approaching them with a gloomy expression...
