Inside the Children's Pottery Paradise.
Xia Tianqiong spent more than ten minutes chatting briefly with several parents and children, obtaining a lot of fragmented information, which may or may not be useful.
The shop assistant was a young woman in her early twenties, with an average appearance and figure.
Xia Tianqiong gave her a dozen or so spirit fruits, telling her not to immediately cast the Death Rule, but to postpone it for a while.
We also learned information about several parents and children, as well as some things about this small town, from her.
After gathering the information, the next step is to crack the rules.
The first one to be identified was the parent who was acting strangely; the person was a slightly overweight young woman.
He sat in the corner, sculpting a clay figure by himself; it looked like he was making a little boy.
She is the only one here who is strange and has not yet communicated with Xia Tianqiong.
Xia Tianqiong and the Ghost Bride walked straight over, and when they were only about two meters apart, the young woman suddenly turned her head and said coldly, "My son got lost here. Can you help me find him?"
This is the rule of death! And it's a fairly common one.
If you looked at the clay figure she was sculpting, most people would assume her son was a little boy.
But in reality, this is a misleading statement!
“Okay, I’ll help you.” Xia Tianqiong readily agreed.
He learned from the shop assistant that the young woman's name was Su Changjin and that she had not brought her child with her.
The son the other party mentioned was actually a puppy.
So the real task is to find the dog, not the person.
This is also noted on the sign outside, along with a method to find the dog.
On the shelves in the entrance hall, there are six ceramic puppies scattered around, one of which is the young woman's "son".
Once you find the right one and break the ceramic, the dog inside will run out, thus breaking the young woman's death rule.
It's actually a weird dog!
As for how to choose the correct one from six, it's quite simple; the hunters of Xinglian have already tested it with their lives.
The young woman was a bit overweight, and her dog son took after her, being the fattest and heaviest of the six ceramic dogs.
Therefore, this multiple-choice question is very simple; it's a free point.
However, Xia Tianqiong wanted to try another method of cracking the code.
He first took out a stack of 10,000 yuan in ghost money and threw it at the shop assistant, saying it was compensation for the broken ceramics.
While the shop assistant was still in a daze, he turned around and walked into the lobby, brought all six ceramic dogs from the shelf, and arranged them in a row in front of the young woman.
The young woman raised her plump face, a hint of excitement in her eyes, "Which one is my son?"
Her eyes were full of anticipation, hoping that Xia Tianqiong would make the wrong choice.
This way, they could take action against Xia Tianqiong, capture her, seal her in clay, and eventually fire her into a ceramic statue.
This is the young woman's mission here, and also her only pleasure in countless cycles.
"Snap!"
With a crisp sound, the ceramic dog on the far left was smashed, revealing the shriveled and blackened contents inside.
Then a shadowy figure drifted out from it, condensing in the air into a pug, its body somewhat ethereal and almost translucent.
The young woman suddenly grinned and chuckled, a smile that was somewhat sinister.
This isn't her dog son; the other party made the wrong choice.
Those watching from outside the window also let out a sigh.
“He made the wrong choice. I can see it right here. It’s not that ceramic dog.”
"It looks like our team is going to lose another member."
"Serves him right! It's good that he's dead. People like him were going to die sooner or later anyway, so it's better for him to die sooner rather than later."
The last sentence was spoken by Xiao Zijun.
He hoped Xia Tianqiong would die quickly, so as not to waste the time of the next person.
However, amidst everyone's expectant gaze, something unusual happened inside.
The young woman's eyes were filled with excitement, and she was about to make a move when Xia Tianqiong smiled calmly, "I think all six of these are your sons."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and flicked the remaining five ceramic dogs into pieces, shattering them into a pile of ceramic fragments. At the same time, five illusory puppies reappeared.
He thought for a moment and added, "I've already paid."
The young woman seemed to be nailed to the spot, her body stiffened for a moment, and she looked disappointed. Suddenly, she turned her head and glared at the female shop assistant not far away.
Only the shop assistants knew her solution.
However, her disappointment turned to joy when she saw six lively puppies wagging their tails and circling around her.
Finally, with a sigh, he said, "Thank you, this is for you."
With a casual wave of her hand, the broken pieces of the six ceramic dogs began to soften and automatically coalesce into a large mass of soft clay, which slowly floated towards Xia Tianqiong.
This is the mission reward, which is the benefit of breaking the death rule.
Xia Tianqiong caught it with one hand; it felt slightly heavy, about the size of a human head.
This is much bigger than what others received!
Different methods of cracking the code will naturally yield different benefits.
Xia Tianqiong put away the clay and turned to find the female shop assistant, ready to break her rules.
Outside, everyone was stunned.
Fu Qing was the most exaggerated, pressing his face against the glass window and shouting excitedly, "Did you see that? He discovered a new method to crack the code, and he's gained several times more than us!"
One of the people who had been in there before felt a little sour and couldn't help but retort, "We saw it, you don't need to talk nonsense."
"How did he come up with that? His thinking is quite unique!"
"It might be related to the fruit he sent out!"
"No, I think he must have obtained some key information from those strange conversations, which is why he dared to try it."
Everyone was very curious and started analyzing the situation, especially the few who hadn't entered yet, who were the most enthusiastic.
