When did the brother collapse [Transmigration Book]

.

A disciple from the Waifeng quietly whispered: "Sycophant".

Chen Zhishuo didn't care.He cheekily sat next to Lu Li, and asked, "Brother, you must have fought monsters, right?"

Lu Li looked at him, didn't speak, just nodded.

Thinking of Lu Li's character, Chen Zhishuo secretly scolded himself for talking nonsense again, so he asked another way: "Brother, do you know where this monster came from?"

This time the question is on point.

Lu Kai answered, "It's a mirage."

"Mirage?" Lu Zhengyang was a little surprised, "This is an inland place, thousands of miles away from the sea, how could there be mirages here?"

Lu Li answered him bluntly: "I don't know."

As a non-indigenous person, Chen Zhishuo is very self-conscious, does not participate in the discussion, and only acts as a qualified listener.

He couldn't directly ask what a "phantom" was, but when he heard the word "inland", he remembered the idiom mirage, so he guessed that this so-called "phantom" should be a monster in the sea.He thought of the fight in the courtyard again, and guessed that "Mirage" was very likely to be good at changing.

Just when he wanted to make indirect remarks and confirm whether his guess was correct, Shen Qianqian led the other disciples from the outer peak and walked in angrily.

8. Shengxian Town ([-])

◎Life is not a game, it cannot be archived◎

"I sent her back. She just gave birth and was injured by evil spirits, so she couldn't take medicine, so she sent Junior Sister Ding to look after her." Shen Qianqian first explained the situation of the woman to Lu Li, and then turned to ask Chen Zhishuo, "Injured Junior Brother Woolen cloth?"

Influenced by her aura, Chen Zhisuo stood up abruptly, and replied, "Lying on the second floor, still not awake."

Shen Qianqian was so angry that she slapped it on the table: "They lost all face!"

The disciples of Waifeng hurriedly comforted him.

"Senior Sister Shen, calm down."

"Yeah, there's no need to be angry because of the two of them, it's not worth it."

"Senior Sister Shen, when the two of them wake up, I will scold them for you."

"Senior Sister Shen, I..."

In the midst of the commotion, a disciple from the Waifeng who studied medical skills came down from the second floor, his face livid: "Senior Brother Liu, he...is gone."

The entire lobby was silent for a moment.

Shen Qianqian was so angry that her teeth were itching, she slapped the table hard, but she couldn't say "deserved it".

"Send people to Yizhuang, and send them back to Yuxu Gate after the evil spirits that caused chaos have been dealt with."

After explaining, she went to the crowd, looked around, and said coldly: "I know what you are thinking, don't you just want to catch the monster yourself so that you can pass the Neifeng test?"

"No...no." A disciple from Waifeng defended himself.

Shen Qianqian flew over with a sharp eye: "This time is different from the previous inner peak trials. We are really eliminating demons. If we miss, someone will die. The two junior brothers died. I can't blame others. I can only blame them for being too aggressive. Arrogant, thinking that he can exorcise demons by himself."

"But what about the mortal who was taken away last night? She was injured by the evil spirit, and her body was so weak that even if she survived, she would linger on the sick bed. And her child, who can't drink her own mother's milk, can only think about it Law. Are these consequences you can bear?"

"Senior Sister Shen, it's just two mortals, and they didn't die. Wouldn't it be better to take care of them for a longer time?" Some disciples from the outer peak were not convinced, "Junior Brother Liu and the others are the ones who have suffered a great disaster."

Shen Qianqian was furious: "Two mortals? Just take care of them for a while longer? Heh, we have already lost two disciples, how can they bear it? A monk walks in the world, only thinking of showing off, and doesn't care about the life or death of innocent people. What kind of way are you cultivating? What kind of hero are you practicing? Yuxu Sect does not want such selfish disciples!"

Chen Zhishuo was listening and cursing, his face turned pale and red——

When assigning tasks before, because I felt the hostility of the disciples of the outer peak, I was holding back my breath, and I also wanted to stand out in this trial.

May I ask if he had discovered the "phantom" first, would he have made the same choice?

No, no, human life is at stake, and I am definitely not the kind of person who sacrifices others for his own self-interest.

Chen Zhishuo reminded himself in his heart, but because of his personality, he couldn't help but think about the worst outcome - suppose he was attacked by the "phantom" last night, and chose to fight alone in order to be a hero for a while, lying on the bed of Yizhuang. Is it just me?How many people will he kill?

Thinking of this, Chen Zhishuo felt his hands and feet were cold, and he was sweating profusely.

The layer of transparent glass between the text of the novel and him was broken because of Shen Qianqian's words.

When he was at Yuxumen, he was more like a museum visitor participating in a VR project, just curiously experiencing this brand new world.But today, Chen Zhisuo finally realized that he is a member of this world in the book, and his thoughts, his choices and judgments will directly affect other people.

Life is not a game, there is no save file, and it cannot be restarted.

Chen Zhishuo felt very lucky, because someone woke him up by scolding him before he made a mistake.

"Hold." Lu Li's voice rang in his ears, and then, a cup of hot tea was stuffed into Chen Zhisuo's hand.

Chen Zhishuo caught it, and the warmth spread from the wall of the cup to his palm, flowing all over his body, pulling him out of the quagmire of self-blame.

He looked at Lu Li gratefully, "Senior brother..."

Lu Li raised his right index finger and shook it, signaling that he didn't need to speak.

At this time, Shen Qianqian sat down opposite Lu Li after teaching the outer peak disciples a lesson, and asked him, "Senior brother Lu, what did you gain from fighting the 'Mirage' monster?"

Lu Li replied, "This 'phantom' is about to die."

Lu Zhengyang was a little puzzled: "'Mirage' is a monster in the sea, and Shengxian Town is thousands of miles away from the nearest sea. A dying 'Mirage' monster, why did it come to the inland area to arrest people?"

Chen Zhishuo blurted out: "Because the people at the beach are wrong."

Everyone looked at Chen Zhishuo in unison.

Shen Qianqian was impatient, and she was the first to ask him, "What's wrong with the people on the beach?"

Facing everyone's probing gazes, Chen Zhisuo seemed to have returned to the podium of the Thousand People Conference.He took a sip of hot tea, calmed himself down a bit, and said his guess: "I thought this incident was weird before, but just now I suddenly figured it out, it's 'I can't find anything in common'."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhishuo was worried that everyone would not understand, so he took out the map left by the previous mayor and spread it out on the table.

He called everyone to gather around the round table, tapped the ink dots he marked on the map one by one, and asked them, "Can you find any patterns?"

Lu Li raised his eyes, but said nothing.

The rest couldn't answer.

Chen Zhishuo added: "I really can't see the pattern. I think, monsters catch people, either for food or for use. But no matter what the purpose of this monster is, it must have its own preference? It's like a serial killer. What they kill has more or less something in common."

Seeing that there were still people who didn't understand, he continued to explain: "Some serial killers specifically single out women to kill, some to collect the scent of the victims, and some will specifically pick people from a certain area because of their place of residence. Let's start. But the fourteen people arrested this time, including the one last night, are old and young, male and female, with different identities and occupations, and there is no pattern in where they live. Isn't this strange? "

After hearing Chen Zhisuo's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

As a modern person who relies on technology, Chen Zhishuo felt for the first time that he was no worse than others after traveling through the real world——

These people rely too much on their own cultivation skills, unconsciously ignoring other clues.On the contrary, he, an outsider, relied on his experience in reading and watching movies, coupled with a little thinking mode out of this world, to take the lead in pointing out the biggest doubt in this trip to Shengxian Town to catch monsters.

Looking at his younger brother who was suddenly in high spirits, Lu Li decided not to speak.

Although the rest of the people hadn't fully caught up with Chen Zhishuo's thinking rhythm, their attitude towards him had changed.

Several Waifeng disciples looked at him with three points of respect, and one of them asked him respectfully: "Senior Brother Chen, then according to your statement, there is something we don't know about this 'Mirage' coming to Shengxian Town. Purpose?"

"That's right." Chen Zhishuo gave him an approving look, and continued to inspire, "It is a sea monster and is about to die. Why did it go all the way to Shengxian Town to arrest people? It is impossible to realize that I am about to die. Let’s see more of the great rivers and mountains here? I think, what the ‘Mirage’ demon values ​​is not people, but ‘certain people’ in ‘Shengxian Town’.”

Another Waifeng disciple who was fascinated by listening quickly asked: "Who is that?"

Chen Zhishuo asked him back, "Do you know how Shengxian Town got its name?"

At this time, Lu Zhengyang recalled Mayor Mei's previous words, and replied: "Because 600 years ago, there was a monk who ascended to immortality."

"The answer is correct." Chen Zhishuo nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "Although this is just a rumor, this 'phantom' is going to die, so there is no guarantee that it won't come here to gamble."

"Is there really such a legend?" Some outer peak disciples didn't believe it and shouted, "Why haven't we heard of it?"

Lu Li, who hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly said, "I've searched for more than 200 years in the cultivation world, but found nothing. People who came after me didn't continue to look for it."

Chen Zhisuo didn't think so: "This monster is going to die, it will definitely not let go of any chance, even if it's just a legend."

Lu Li added: "There are still many doubts about this matter, and we can't finish the investigation for the time being. This 'phantom' may appear again tonight. We have limited time, so we should act separately."

Although Chen Zhishuo felt that Lu Li's act of interrupting other people's analysis was not in line with the character design in the book, after thinking about it, they really had limited time and couldn't continue to talk on paper in the inn.
