"Weren't you pinned down by the Taishan Stone? How did you break free? No, no one can break free from the Taishan Stone. It wasn't you that was pinned down by the Taishan Stone?!" Xing Yu's heart trembled. When Wu An first acquired the Taishan Stone, the institute had conducted experiments, and even Elder Qin, pinned down by the stone, was unable to move, powerless to resist. This person was clearly pinned down by the Taishan Stone, so how could she flip over while he was dealing with a corpse? Xing Yu hoped he was seeing things, but the person was sitting right in front of him, so there was no way he could be mistaken. There was only one possibility: it wasn't her who was pinned down by the Taishan Stone. "You have some brains. But with that much skill, you're still trying to imitate a burglar?" Li Shu stored the Taishan Stone in his space and stood up, revealing the person behind him. The person, dressed like her, lay motionless on the bed, with a square mark on their back, the same size and shape as the Taishan Stone. It was the person pinned down by the Taishan Stone. Li Shu turned the person over. They had the same facial features as her, except their eyes were closed, with a talisman taped between their brows. At first glance, they looked like they were asleep. But a closer look revealed something fake. She was afraid someone would notice if they were facing up, so she taped the talisman to their foreheads and had them lie facedown on the bed, figuring she could deceive them for a while while she could get a feel for their true abilities. After all, strange powers are ever-changing, and only caution can keep them in check. As it turned out, the person, either out of sheer arrogance or sheer naiveté, failed to see the difference and resorted to a powerful weapon like the Taishan Pound to subdue her. After subduing her, they didn't even bother to check, and the two of them engaged in a brawl. This was a real advantage for her: while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is waiting behind. She wanted their strange weapons, and the power they possessed, too. Li Shu reached out and peeled off the talisman, and the person transformed into a palm-sized paper figurine. Xing Yu, observing all this, understood. "You knew we were following you the whole time, but you feigned ignorance and acted exhausted, just to lure us in?" Li Shu nodded. "Right. I have to give you a reason to attack me before I can strike back, right? However, I was expecting a fierce battle tonight, but I didn't expect you to start a fight. I've already collected your companions' treasures, now it's your turn." Xing Yu's heart sank, and he glanced at the windowsill. The two monsters that had been burning there, attracted by the strange fragrance, had disappeared. It seemed they had been taken in by this person. He had been completely oblivious. The girl before him was even more formidable than he had imagined. Now that he had lost the initiative, a powerful weapon, and a teammate, his chances of defeating her were practically zero. He couldn't fight head-on; he had to retreat first. Xing Yu's expression changed, and he retreated silently, rushing into the bathroom. In the bathroom mirror, the passage was still there. If he touched the mirror, he could enter it and leave through the passage. "Want to run?" Li Shu raised an eyebrow. Xing Yu felt a flash of red before his eyes, and the next second his neck tightened, and he was dragged into the air. A strong feeling of suffocation came, and Xing Yu immediately reached out to pull the strange rope. The strangeness he controlled could suppress all strangeness. No matter how powerful the strangeness was, as long as he was held, it would be suppressed. It was just that the length of time it could be suppressed was different. This strange rope did not look like a powerful strange weapon. Even if he could not suppress it all the time, it would definitely be a problem to suppress it for a moment. A moment was enough for him to escape. Xing Yu held the strange rope with confidence, waiting for it to loosen. But he was horrified to find that the strange rope not only did not loosen, but tightened faster. Xing Yu was shocked and immediately threw away the plum umbrella and pulled the strange rope with both hands. The strange rope finally stopped tightening. Even as he kept pulling, it showed signs of loosening. Li Shu snorted coldly, and more than a dozen red ropes appeared around Xing Yu, wrapping him like a mummy in the blink of an eye.
