Chapter 471 Above the Posa (6) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]

Zhao Yinglai and Bai Jinshu prepared for action after ten o'clock in the evening.

It’s not that they don’t want to go early before daybreak, but the main reason is that the owner of the pharmacy, the old man, will leave the pharmacy and go home only after ten o’clock.

The three of them were homeless outsiders, and they had nowhere to go after the pharmacy closed. Bai Jinshu was not sure if he would be recognized as a stray intruder like the driver in the car accident if he said he had nowhere to go, so he asked the old man in a roundabout way if he needed someone to stay in the store for the night shift.

The old man was the only one in the pharmacy before. He would naturally close the shop when he went home at night. If someone urgently needed to get medicine or see a Chinese doctor in the middle of the night, the old man would post his phone number on the door, and he would rush over overnight after receiving a call.

Besides, this is a Chinese medicine store. Most of the people who see a doctor in the middle of the night have urgent illnesses. Emergency illnesses are usually treated with Western medicine. I have heard of people going to the clinic for emergency treatment in the middle of the night. Only a few people come to see a Chinese medicine doctor in the middle of the night, so generally not many people come at night.

But things are different now. I hired three assistants at once. If they all help out during the day, it would be a bit of a luxury for such a small store.

Bai Jinshu asked if there was a need for night shift. The old man thought about it and said that one person could stay at night, but he would not arrange it, and you have to discuss the shift change time by yourselves.

In order to provide a resting place for the guys on duty at night, the old man also directed Bai Jinshu and the others to carry out a bamboo bed that looked a bit old from the deep warehouse of the pharmacy. However, apart from the bed, there was no quilt or mattress here, so there was no condition for a good sleep. However, they could get by with their clothes on and leaning on the pillows for a night.

It just so happens that the person on night watch cannot sleep too well, otherwise he will miss the customers who come to see the doctor in the middle of the night.

After arranging all this, he sat behind the counter with his hands behind his back and continued to study ancient books.

The three members of the exploration team gathered at the edge of the pharmacy. Bai Jinshu first spoke in a low voice: "Tonight, Jiang Jie and I are going to go out and look for someone."

William Chang was startled: "At night?"

"In the evening," Zhao Yinglai nodded affirmatively, "The owner of the pharmacy will leave the store and go home after ten o'clock. We can take action after he leaves."

No matter what, they are still employees of the store, and it is not easy for them to disappear if the boss is still there.

"It's ten o'clock in the evening. It will be dark soon, right?" William Chang looked at the time on his watch, then glanced outside. "Will there be anything here at night?"

He was referring to something like the mouthless butler.

It would have been fine if they hadn't seen any ghosts when they entered here, but they met a weird butler as soon as they came in. Even though they hadn't encountered any similar weirdos since coming down from the mountain, the unknown was the scariest.

Now everyone knows that there are monsters in this unknown space, but they have not encountered a second monster. This matter has been buried in their hearts and not resolved. It always pops up suddenly during their normal exploration and investigation, which can make people feel cold on their backs in an instant.

Who knows if these "monsters" are hiding in the dark and watching them?

Chang William was at such a stage. When he heard that the other two teammates were going out in the middle of the night, a string moved in his mind, and he instantly connected monsters and night together.

"What kind of monster are you talking about?" Bai Jinshu looked at Chang William, "We don't know either, but you also heard that Jiang Jie came here for his friend, so we can't just not look for him."

The only rule they have figured out for this position is that "if you don't have a job, you will be arrested," but the underlying reason for this rule has not yet been answered.

As for the identity of the monster and the reason for its appearance, he didn't know yet.

You may or may not encounter monsters when you go out at night, but no matter what, you must find people.

In such an unknown space where even the Gu King could be killed silently, the current dynamics and situation of the Gu King himself is one of the clues.

Chang William showed a look of regret on his face, and it seemed that he regretted coming out with these two people.

If he were working as a waiter in a restaurant with four other team members now, at least he wouldn't be drafted into the army and forced to go out looking for someone in the middle of the night.

"You don't have to go either," Zhaoying saw his expression change several times, and couldn't help but said, "We are just informing you that the two of us are going to look for someone at 10 o'clock tonight. As for whether you want to go with us or stay here, it's up to you."

Chang William is not a popular person, and it is annoying to have him around. She and Scario must be crazy to go out for an adventure in the middle of the night with a burden.

Hearing this, Chang William's expression instantly improved a lot: "Speak sooner, sooner. It's not that I don't want to go with you. It's mainly because my health has not been very good recently. My personal doctor's advice to me is to go to bed early and get up early, and go to bed at 8:30 in the evening. My biological clock has been formed, so it's really inconvenient for me to go out with you, haha."

Zhaoyinglai: ...

She rolled her eyes at Chang William speechlessly and treated his words as fart.

"Brother Faye," she came closer to Bai Jinshu, "Let's ask the others if they are interested in going out with us."

Chang William definitely didn't want to go out with them in the middle of the night. It just so happened that the pharmacy also needed someone to keep watch. Not many people came to get medicine in the middle of the night, so it was okay even if Chang William didn't know Chinese medicine.

As for the others, Zhao Ying explained the reasons why she came in before she came, and also said that her friend was one of the members of the previous team. He did not come out from here, but he did not die either, so she suspected that her friend was trapped in an unknown space, so she simply joined the second exploration team to rescue him.

Anyone with a little bit of intelligence can tell from this that her missing friend is most likely trapped in the copy because she triggered the rules here, so finding this friend means finding the rules.

However, opportunities and risks coexist. While finding the rules, they may also trigger the rules and be trapped here together.

Bai Jinshu opened the watch page and briefly explained their plans for tonight with Zhao Yinglai, and finally concluded:

Skao: [We are going to go out around 10pm tonight after the pharmacy owner gets off work. Is there anyone who wants to join us? ]

More than half an hour later, Tang Ling replied: [Count me in. ]

Tang Ling: [But I have to find a reason to sneak out. We don’t need anyone on duty at night.]

Tang Ling wanted to go, and Qiu Zihan bravely followed him.

Qiu Zihan: [Then I'll go too. My sister told me and Sister Tang Ling not to separate.]

The "sister" he was referring to should be his biological sister, Tang Ling's best friend.

Qiu Zihan was only fifteen years old. Of course his elder sister was worried about him entering the unknown space. While entrusting him to her best friend, she also gave Qiu Zihan many instructions for a long time, one of which was that he should not leave Tang Ling too far away and should not be separated from Tang Ling.

The remaining two people each had their own reasons.

Di Xueni: [I can’t. This hot pot restaurant is open until 4am. Each waiter has a fixed viewing area. I can’t leave.]

Bo Jiren couldn't do it either: [I can't do it either. This noodle shop opens at 5:00 a.m. every day. They sell freshly boiled soup. The employees have to get up at 4:00 a.m. to prepare. If I go out at night, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up in the morning.]

In that case, the only people who will act together tonight are Bai Jinshu, Zhao Yinglai, Tang Ling, and her best friend's younger brother Qiu Zihan.

"It's much better than I thought." Zhao Yinglai said honestly after closing the interface.

She had already prepared herself and Scario to be alone tonight, but she didn't expect that Tang Ling and Qiu Zihan were so bold as to get involved.

"Tang Ling must show off," Bai Jinshu leaned back in his seat and chuckled, "She just got an angel investment. If she doesn't show off her usefulness, how can anyone invite her in the future?"

The possibility of low-end players being noticed is too low. Tang Ling got an angel investment thanks to William Chang. He must take this opportunity to show his ability and work hard to move towards a mid-level player.

"What about Qiu Zihan?" Zhao Yinglai looked at the group chat in confusion, "Why is this kid following us?"

You are already fifteen years old, you should know what is right and wrong. Don’t you know that going out with Tang Ling is an adventure?

"Of course it's for safety," her captain looked at her like she was a fool, "If we stay, Di Xueni has to go to work, Bo Jiren has to sleep, and Qiu Zihan will have to spend the first night in the unknown space alone."

As for Chang William, let’s not talk about him.

"But if he follows us," Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows, "tonight not only will he have his trusted sister Tang Ling, but also the magician Huang Daxian. If it were you, which one would you choose?"

The result is obvious. It is definitely safer to follow the stronger members of the team.

Who knows what will happen on the first night, and it would be foolish to act alone.

[Aoshen really understands. 】

[Qiu Zihan, you didn't know that you chose the team with the highest survival rate. You are with Aoshen. Aoshen will protect you. It will be difficult for you to die.]

[Qiu Zihan doesn't know yet that the thickest thigh in the team tonight is not Tang Ling, nor Huang Daxian, but Koi Aoshen.]

[Aoshen doesn't seem to be worried about tonight at all. 】

[Is there any doubt that you, Aoshen, are nocturnal animals? 】

[Damn, if you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten that Aoshen likes to act at night. ]

[You reminded me. I'm going to sleep for a while and wait to get up tonight to watch the live broadcast. ]

【I'll go take a nap too. 】

[What time did Aoshen say the action would be? 】

【Ten o'clock.】

[Then I’ll set the alarm to wake up at 9:30…]

The investors on the barrage were waiting for the highlight of the night, and those who didn’t have to go to work or school went to catch up on their sleep, so for a while, more than half of the people were gone.

After deciding who would go out at night, Bai Jinshu became idle again. The work in the pharmacy was very easy and did not require any brainpower. He just picked, weighed and boiled the medicine according to the prescription written by the old man, and finally packed it after it was boiled.

It just so happened that each of the three of them was responsible for one link. Bai Jinshu prepared the medicine, Zhao Ying went to boil it, and finally Chang William packed it up. For a while, the efficiency was several times faster than before when only the old man was alone.

The smell was very touching. It was ok for Zhao Yinglai, a shadow puppet, not to smell the odor, but Chang William, who was in charge of packing the Chinese medicine, had a bitter look on his face as if he had eaten a pound of Coptis chinensis raw.

After working for several hours, Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai were distracted while doing their work and did not respond much, which made Chang William complain bitterly.

This "crying out" means complaining in a literal sense.

"I feel dizzy..." He finished packing the pot of Chinese medicine he had just boiled, pinching his nose, looking weak, "This smell is really disgusting."

"Nausea?" Before Bai Jinshu and the others could say anything, the old man behind the counter glanced at him and taught him in a condescending manner, "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. Although Chinese medicine tastes bitter, it is not harmful to the body. If you feel dizzy, I can prescribe some prescriptions for you..."

"No need," Chang William sat up straight, "I suddenly feel that my headache is gone!"

Are you kidding me? Asking him to drink this Chinese medicine, is this murder?

"...Pfft," Zhao Yinglai laughed hard, "Don't be shy about seeing a doctor, Brother William. Ask your boss to prescribe a prescription for you to regulate your body. Didn't you say before that your family doctor recommended that you go to bed early? Ask your boss to take your pulse."

At this time, she called William brother. This girl is really wicked.

"You have a hidden illness," the boss behind the counter actually looked up and said, "Come, let me feel your pulse. Don't underestimate my small shop. I've been here for more than 400 years."

More than four hundred years?

Bai Jinshu quickly exchanged a glance with Zhao Yinglai, and both of them concealed the surprise on their faces very well.

Finally, Chang William... It was hard to tell whether the fear on his face was because of the four hundred years or because he was forced to take bitter medicine. He quickly refused, fearing that the boss would prescribe bitter medicine after taking his pulse: "I don't need it! I think I'm in very good health, I..."

Before he could finish his words, the old man suddenly grabbed his wrist with his quick eyes and hands and pressed it on the table, and then he held it up with his other hand.

After a few seconds, the old man's expression changed.

Zhao Yinglai: "How is it? What's the situation?"

The old man shook his head.

Zhao Yinglai came over curiously and put his hand on it to try it.

"What's wrong with me?" Chang William was originally afraid that the other party would prescribe bitter medicine for him, but after taking his pulse, the old man's expression became solemn, and he suddenly became restless, "Isn't I seriously ill?"

He looked at the shop owner nervously, then at Jiang Jie who had come to join in the fun.

The two men had the same mysterious expression on their faces.

"Isn't it possible that I'm dying?" Chang William was horrified.

"You really can't do it." Zhao Yinglai patted his shoulder heavily.

William Chang: “Ah?”

"Tsk, young man," the old man's expression changed several times, and finally he looked at him earnestly, "You have kidney deficiency."

William Chang:?

[So this is not the right thing to do. ]

[Pfft, I definitely didn’t laugh. ]

[Oh my god, I didn't expect that I could enter and exit an unknown space and gain this unexpected reward, William Chang. ]

[I said that what the electronic pet whistleblower said was true. In the early years, before Chang William joined the foundation, he relied on selling hooks to accumulate start-up funds and pretended to be a rich man. Look at him now that he has kidney deficiency. ]

[Why is there still hook history here? You hook literature is everywhere...]

[Ah? Chang William isn't dead yet, and you're already starting to talk about history? ]

[You don’t understand. This is how we do Hook History.]

"Stay up less late and exercise more," Zhao Yinglai patted his shoulder earnestly, looking quite proud of himself, "Do you want us to prescribe a prescription for you?"

She still remembered that Chang William had said to her about her kidney deficiency. It turned out that people could not make judgments beyond their own cognition.

"I...you..." William Chang stuttered twice, and finally spoke in a mosquito-like voice, "want..."

Zhao Yinglai laughed wildly because her character was not suitable to reveal her true nature, so she had to hold back her laughter and turned to look for medicine in the medicine cabinet. Bai Jinshu was standing next to her and saw that her facial features were distorted from trying to hold back laughter.

In the afternoon, in addition to prescribing, boiling and packaging medicines, many patients also came to see the doctor. Probably because Zhao Ying knew some Chinese medicine, the old owner treated her very well, and he also treated his other two friends well.

The work at the pharmacy was not easy, and the three of them were doing highly repetitive tasks. They worked and chatted until about ten o'clock in the evening, and the old man was ready to go home.

As a shop owner, the old man is quite considerate. He promised to let those who are on night watch tonight sleep on bamboo beds, and he will bring quilts and mattresses for everyone tomorrow.

As soon as the old man left, Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai prepared to set off.

Chang William was so scared that he immediately closed and locked the door, fearing that a ghost would break in if he was a step late.

The pharmacy was not far from the hotel where the other team members worked, about twenty minutes' walk away. Although it was completely dark now, their area was a commercial district and the streets were still quite busy with people coming and going, so it was actually not that scary.

The two walked all the way to the door of Tang Ling's shop and saw Tang Ling sitting on the steps in a daze. When he saw them coming, he waved and said, "You have to wait a while."

She pointed to a store across the street and said, "Qiu Zihan can't come out yet."

As for restaurants, some restaurants have the best business at around 10 o'clock. Qiu Zihan's restaurant was packed with customers, and he couldn't get out for a while. Everyone waited for more than half an hour before he changed his clothes and trotted over: "Sorry, sorry, I'm late!"

"It's okay," Zhao Yinglai waved his hand casually, "I didn't expect to find him in one day anyway."

This unknown space is so big, and I can only rely on a life card that only gives brief directional guidance. Of course, I can only go wherever I want tonight, after all, I still have to work the next day.

Her hands were stained with water from the cup that Tang Ling brought out from the restaurant, and she drew the pattern on the ground again. This time, a golden light flashed, and the golden lines on the life plate appeared, still in the southeast corner.

This is a good thing, it means he hasn't left yet.

Everyone stood up, Zhao Yinglai walked in front to lead the way, and the remaining three followed behind.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Outside the commercial district where many restaurants were located, the streets seemed much more deserted and desolate. It might take more than ten minutes to walk before you met someone.

For some reason, the direction shown on Zhao Yinglai's horoscope kept changing after leaving the commercial district, and finally stopped moving.

"What's going on?" Tang Ling leaned over.

"There is interference. The location is shown here, but the person is not there." Zhao Yinglai stared at the life card for a long time. "It can only mean that his breath is covered by interference."

It’s not that easy to find someone.

"What should we do then?" Qiu Zihan also came over.

"See if we can eliminate the interference," Zhaoying looked around, "otherwise we won't be able to find anyone."

They were fine when they were in that commercial area, but were disturbed after they came out, which can only mean that the interference was near them.

"The interference should be around here."

"What's nearby?" Tang Ling had already started looking around. "There should be a general description, right?"

This place looks like an extremely ordinary modern city. Except for the occasional eaves of ancient buildings showing between the buildings, everything else is no different from the cities in the real world.

The forest of steel and concrete traps everyone inside. If there are interferences around, it may be because there are too many of them.

"Let me think..." Zhao Yinglai knew that there must be a description, otherwise it would be like searching blindly without a head. But the problem was that she was only half-baked in this area. "This interference could be something, or it could be some architectural sculptures, or it could be Feng Shui..."

The successor of Taoism is the Gu King, not her. It is already amazing that she knows some magic to find people. If you ask her to explain in detail, she won't know more.

"How big is the scope of this impact?" Bai Jinshu helped her analyze.

"It should be quite big," Zhao Yinglai walked around with the life plate in his hand, "It should be about this size. It should be a feng shui interference. Objects or buildings can't interfere with it this big."

The area she circled was about several dozen hectares and contained countless buildings.

"Such a large area is all affected by a certain interference," Bai Jiji touched his chin, "If this interference is Feng Shui, then does it mean that the interference will disappear as long as the Feng Shui is broken?"

Zhao Yinglai was led by him to think for a few minutes: "It should be understood this way..."

She was a dabbler, but there was no doubt about that.

"Then we have a direction," Bai Jinshu pointed behind him, "What do you think of that building? Is it big and representative enough? Would it ruin the feng shui if it was destroyed?"

The building is extremely tall. You can't see the top when you stand downstairs. The roof seems to be so high that it is hidden in the clouds in the sky.

It's around twelve o'clock in the morning now. There are no lights on in the entire building. It just stands there quietly, which is a bit creepy to look at.

"It can be broken..." Zhao Yinglai looked around cautiously, "But it's difficult to do."

The link to the unknown space they entered this time was bad, the mall was always closed, and there was nowhere to buy explosives.

With their own capabilities, they certainly can't blow up the building now.

"Why don't we go in and take a look?" Bai Jinshu said, making the next best option. "We are all on the ground now, and our understanding of this disturbing area is also flat. Once we go up to the upper floors and look down, we can see the surrounding situation clearly. You can then figure out how to destroy this disturbing Feng Shui with the least loss."

"That's fine." Zhao Yinglai nodded.

The door of the building was tightly shut, but luckily there was a small door for collecting newspapers and magazines next to it. For some reason, this door was not locked, so you could push it and enter. Everyone entered the lobby, and the light in the elevator was still on, and the faint yellow light illuminated a small area of ​​ground in front of the elevator door.

[Hiss, is this the Aoshen midnight show? ]

[This elevator is light, and that little smell will come up just by scratching it! ]

[Where are my bodyguard bullet screens? What are these people doing in the building at night?]

Since they were going upstairs to check out the Feng Shui of this area, Qiu Zihan asked softly, "Shall we take the elevator?"

"Stairs." Bai Jinshu and Tang Ling said in unison.

"Who knows if there will be any problems with the elevator in the middle of the night..." Just as Zhao Yinglai finished speaking, the elevator display screen suddenly moved twice, "Who touched the elevator?"

Everyone shook their heads.

The one standing closest to the front was Zhao Yinglai. She didn't touch him, and so the others didn't touch him either.

"Damn it," Qiu Zihan quickly hid behind Tang Ling, "Brother Jiang Jie, please stop being such a pessimist."

None of them touched the elevator, but for some unknown reason, it suddenly started moving upstairs.

"So someone is pressing the elevator button upstairs?" Zhao Yinglai frowned.

The elevator wouldn't move on its own for no reason. If they didn't press the button here, then someone upstairs must have pressed it.

"Who's pressing the elevator button upstairs at this hour?" Tang Ling pulled a few hairs off Qiu Zihan's head and thought, "It's past twelve o'clock, is this a social animal working overtime?"

"The lights outside were off just now." Bai Jinshu denied.

"Then..." Zhao Yinglai hadn't finished his words when the elevator stopped on the fourth floor.

"Is that thing coming down?" Qiu Zihan looked around and quickly pulled Tang Ling to hide behind the front desk.

Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai were not that nervous, but they also walked quickly to the front desk and had no intention of facing the people in the elevator head-on.

[Help, is this the way to play…]

[People coming down from the elevator in the middle of the night, full of horror story elements. 】

[If you find it scary, you can look at the above crossover of Di Xueni. Someone is celebrating his birthday in a hot pot restaurant, and he is singing and saying hihi to all the happiness.]

[How did you know I was splitting the screen to save my life...]

[Because that’s how I comfort myself.]

[There are four channels now. Aoshen is showing the midnight show of Night Exploration Building. Di Xueni is singing goodbye to all the troubles on her birthday. Bo Jiren has gone to sleep. Chang William is in a daze in the Chinese medicine store. Human sorrows and joys are not connected. I just feel terrified...]

[Bullet screen protection——Good luck comes to us, good luck comes——Good luck brings joy and love——*]

【Thank you for the good people who protected me with the barrage. 】

Unlike the unknown space where it was so quiet that only the slight noise of the elevator could be heard, the barrage of comments had become a mess at this time.

And in the chaotic barrage of comments, one could vaguely see that the elevator ran down two floors from the fourth floor and suddenly stopped on the second floor.

Then, in full view of everyone, it suddenly moved upwards again.

"Brother Faye..." Qiu Zihan looked like he was about to cry, "Why is this ghost still playing with the elevator..."
