Thriller Trainee

There was silence in the corridor.

Zong Jiu held the Soul Seizing Bell in one hand and the Corpse Exorcism Talisman in the other. Leng Buding met Zhuge An's eyes as he put down his arms and stood up from the wall.

On the other side, farther away, Yi Ruisi turned his head on the spot with his black eyes widened, and disappeared outside the mourning hall.

There was an awkward silence, except for the pale white light coming from behind the mourning hall.

Does this count as being caught on the spot?

"Let's go, don't waste time."

The man in black was about to turn around, but saw that the white-haired young man was still reluctant to move, "Huh?"

Zong Jiu considered his words, "Are you planning to surrender to the enemy?"

No wonder he thought too much, Zhuge An leaned outside and said, "Is everything taken care of?" It always reminded him of the kind of small gang organization that works together to do bad things. One was doing something crazy inside. When he came out, he clapped his hands and saw another man leaning outside to guard the door. At the end, he said something about why he was moving so slowly.

The man smiled half-heartedly, "I thought you knew it a long time ago."

Although he didn't say anything, Zongjiu could read the subtle disgust on his face that said, "Why hasn't this person come to his senses yet?"

"I am the only mole in this copy."

"Yeah." Zhuge An said nonchalantly, "I'm in a good mood and my ticket has been delayed. I'm a spiritual insider and I'm a legal second- and fifth-level kid. Isn't that okay?"

He is worthy of being called the old thief of Zhuge, he is so skilled at jumping reflexes!

Zong Jiu was shocked.

He felt that if he said nothing, Zhuge An would take out the Tai Chi Bagua tray and arrest him in the next second.

So after sizing up the situation, Zongjiu chose to tell lies and said, "...Yes, of course."

All in all, boss no.3, just be happy.

The viewers who were watching the live broadcast were even more excited.

Just now, the magician escaped from the ghosts in front of everyone, and used a corpse charm to show the oppressive spirit of the capitalists behind the scenes who will not let you go until you die. Just when the audience was thinking, "It turns out to be him." After being so shocked, I unexpectedly turned a corner and found something even more shocking waiting for you.

[Holy shit, shit, shit? What's going on, I'm stupid]

[No, I don’t understand this operation a bit. Judging from the meaning of the conversation between the magician and him, does Mr. Zhuge want to jump to the insider camp? 】

【? ? ? No. 3. What are you thinking? Ordinary people are given a small reward for helping the mole. Is it good that the gain outweighs the loss by jumping to counterattack? There are still people jumping to counterattack in this copy where identity cards are issued from the beginning? Crazy

[Wucao, wait! Then Boss Zhuge deliberately mentioned the mole before, but was he actually covering for the magician and sending information? 】

[Boss Zhuge actually cooperated with others, Ye Qingjie]

[+1 I also want to say this, a man as independent as Mr. Zhuge would actually seek cooperation with others, Ye Qingjie]

[I used to be unruly and a loner, but now I am willing to skip the ticket to escort the white-haired beauty and be her wings to protect him from the wind and rain (?) I am moved]

These viewers are people who have truly experienced the fear of being dominated by Zhuge An.

He became famous in one battle in the S-class Cursed Mask dungeon. He deceived the three major organizations in Infernal Affairs. In the end, not only did he return his whole body and made a lot of money, but he also provoked the three organizations to blacklist him. All of a sudden, everyone People remember his name.

It's a pity that Zhuge An is a lone wolf.

After such a long time, everyone has only heard about the big boss being fooled and scolding Zhuge the old thief, but they have never heard that Zhuge An was willing to compromise and cooperate with others.

Except this time.

Seeing that the white-haired young man still wanted to speak, the man said calmly: "I know you still have a lot to ask."

"But that person is in this copy, and now is not the time to talk about this."

He vaguely mentioned, "I will answer all your questions after this copy is over."

It’s self-evident who that person is.

"Does this mean you plan to cooperate with me?" Zong Jiu raised his eyebrows.

"You can understand that."

Zhuge An's tone was calm, "I said, I will never stand on your opposite side."

"——But I won't help you like the first copy. You need to show more strength to prove to me that you have the need for me to answer your doubts."

Although it is debatable to say that we should never be enemies, in this instance, it is not a bad idea to have a brief cooperation. It doesn't matter if you don't provide help. It's boring to just pass the level like the first instance every time.

For Zhuge An, Zong Jiu had nothing to look forward to. He only hoped that the other party would not stand on his opposite side and cause trouble. After all, it is not pleasant to be an opponent of such a person.

Zongjiu stretched out his hand, "So, happy to work together again?"

This time, Zhuge secretly took the white-haired young man's slender hand and finally fully grasped it.

"So, regarding the previous topic. Are there any candidates you have doubts about?"

They started to play riddles that only the two of them could understand, and the barrage could only be confused.

"No."

The number of card draws only recovers once every twelve hours. It is so precious. If Zongjiu doesn't use it to get clues, why not use it to figure out which one is the devil's puppet?

Besides, the first four threads in the devil's puppet threads only indirectly affect the controlled person. As long as No. 1 wants to, he can implant only two or three silk threads, so that the controlled person can retain his own thoughts and will not realize the fact that he is being controlled.

Zhuge secretly frowned and fell into deep thought.

For some reason, Zong Jiu suddenly remembered his first cooperation with Zhuge An in the mental hospital dungeon. Except for the attitudes of both parties, the general direction was exactly the same.

At that time, relying on his golden finger that knew the plot, he took the initiative to come to the door. Although Zhuge An agreed, he did so with scrutiny and hostility that could not be ignored.

Even in Las Vegas, even before the deserted village dungeon opened, his arrogance had not diminished by half.

Even with Nao Shizi's prophecy, Zongjiu felt that the other party's aloof and arrogant temper was definitely not a character that believed in fate.

So what was the reason that caused his attitude to undergo a 360-degree turn?

Zong Jiu lowered his hands in thought and followed Zhuge An out of the corridor.

By the time they returned to the temple together, Xu Sen, Xu Su and the others were almost back.

Seeing the two of them, no one else had any doubts. After all, Zongjiu had put himself and Zhuge An into a group when they first started grouping. Everyone subconsciously thought that they would act together. It would be strange if they didn't.

"How's it going? Is there any result?"

Xu Sen said quickly, "Yes, yes."

If he remembered correctly, he should have followed the villagers to see the woman's condition.

Zongjiu nodded and motioned for him to speak.

"We followed Wang Shou and found that they had captured the woman and locked her up in the empty woodshed at the north end of the village."

At this point, Xu Sen showed a trace of anger on his face, "There are villagers guarding outside, so that bastard Wang Shou led people in, closed the firewood shed door, and beat them hard there."

Everyone in the team showed the same angry expression.

They followed Xu Sen and heard what a tragic situation it was.

"You bitch, you will become a member of our village after you get married, and you dare to escape back to your parents' home. I can't beat you to death today!"

Wang Shou beat and scolded him and spat on the ground, "You're useless. You have a broken belly that can only bear a girl. I'll sell you to be reunited with your precious daughter tomorrow!"

Over and over again, the female voice kept begging for mercy and screaming, and the cry became weaker and weaker. The sound of beatings has not stopped yet.

A group of people outside couldn't stand listening and wanted to stop the coward who was beating women, but they were beaten back by the villagers guarding the door with hoes, and a small-scale conflict broke out.

After all, they were all thinking about the iron rule not to hurt NPCs. Although the confrontation was full of fire/drug, they still couldn't really take action in the end.

But even so, this behavior made the villagers wary and dissatisfied with them, the refugees, so Xu Sen's tone also sounded annoyed when narrating.

Compared to other newcomers, he is a C-level person who has had a lot of experience in dungeons.

Most old people know not to convey too much emotion in horror copies.

In the infinite loop, there have been plots where survivors fell in love with each other after being inspired by the female ghost in red in a certain instance. It's a pity that people and ghosts have different paths, and the survivors are controlled by the main system, and in the end they end up beating each other.

They are just passers-by in the horror copy. They only need to complete their tasks and then leave here forever. So what does it have to do with whether the people in the dungeon are alive or dead, good or bad? It can neither increase their survival points or system evaluation, nor can it bring any immediate benefits.

"It's okay. If it were me, I would stop it."

Zong Jiu waved his hand, indicating that this question could be ignored, "What happened next?"

"While we were blocking the way, that bastard Wang Shou might have heard the noise, so he stopped and just ordered the firewood door to be locked. But we heard that he had told others that when the traffickers arrived in the village tomorrow, we would Kidnap her to the city."

Zong Jiu and Zhuge secretly exchanged a look, "How is the defense of the woodshed now?"

Xu Sen hesitated for a moment: "There are four or five villagers guarding the front and back. It's a bit difficult to get around."

"okay, I get it."

The white-haired young man touched his chin, "According to this, that woman is very likely to be one of the breakthrough points of this dungeon. Let's go over and take a look tonight when their defense is lax. If we can rescue her, , just save it if you can, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, even if it is a terrifying copy, it is just a piece of cake."

Seeing everyone nodding, Zong Jiu turned his attention to Xu Su again, "Where are you, did you find anything?"

Xu Su: "Everyone in the village came to the temple today, and there was no one in the market. We just went to the wall surrounding the Bodhisattva Temple to sneak some Bodhisattva soil."

After that, he took out a bag of soil wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket. Inside was a handful of dark red Bodhisattva soil.

Zhuge secretly stared at the soil and frowned.

Zong Jiu didn't notice his slight expression, but nodded, "Put it away first."

They waited here for a long time, it was probably noon, but they still hadn't seen a trainee from the other team.

During this period, Zongjiu took a special look at the spiritual tablet under the Clay Bodhisattva. Unfortunately, it was blank without any words. He only wrote some words that the owner of the tablet had guarded the Bodhisattva's land and gained merit.

According to the old village chief, this memorial tablet was set up by the villagers for the old woman who died of starvation.

Just as Zongjiu was thinking, a sound of "Du, Du, Du" suddenly came from behind the temple.

The old village chief walked in front, limping out of the dark corridor below the Clay Buddha, leaning on a cane.

It was obvious that the old man was still worried about something, so he left without even looking at them.

Yin Po, who was wearing a black robe from beginning to end, also followed behind him and slowly walked out of the darkness.

Although she couldn't see her face clearly under the hood, the yin energy around her showed no sign of diminishing at all.

After a moment of silence, a sharp voice sounded.

"Lies, lies everywhere..."

Zong Jiu suddenly raised his eyes.

"The full moon night in three days' time will be the best time to connect the human world and the underworld."

Yin Po recited the Dharma in a low voice: "Unknown outsiders, if you are in danger, please come to the temple at any time. This will be the last refuge."

"Please be careful next time. Because the human heart... can turn into a ghost."
