Shen Mansion
Wu Guyun was getting anxious when she saw that He Lizhou was not making any move. She knew that once Mr. Bai finished the "ritual", it would definitely be her turn next.
When Wu Guyun was considering whether to fight to the death and drag He Lizhou out as well, there was finally new movement from Mr. Bai's side.
Because of the perspective and lighting, Wu Guyun did not see the name written on the spirit tablet. Even the shouting of Mr. Bai was not heard because he was extremely nervous and paying attention to He Lizhou's movements.
At this time, the soul summoned by Mr. Bai came over and allowed Wu Guyun to see the other person's face clearly.
Wu Guyun's eyes suddenly widened. Liang Xiu was a player who died at the hands of Master Bai. How could he be willing to listen to Master Bai's orders? Wu Guyun looked at the soul-summoning flag. It must be a problem with the soul-summoning flag that made Liang Xiu lose his mind.
When Liang Xiu arrived, he looked no different from before he died, except that his face was stiff and expressionless, making him look very dull.
He seemed to be conscious and had memory. When He Lizhou saw Liang Xiu arrive, he first looked at Wu Guyun, but because his muscles were stiff, no emotion could be seen.
Seeing that he had succeeded, Mr. Bai breathed a sigh of relief, sat down casually, and looked up at the tall man in front of him.
Neither the man nor the ghost said anything, but soon Mr. Bai showed a satisfied smile, and Liang Xiu nodded as if he agreed to some agreement.
He Lizhou guessed that it was some kind of magic to communicate alone. Before he could figure out what Mr. Bai could do with Liang Xiu, Mr. Bai had already stood up and walked to Liang Xiu's side. He pointed his thick index finger at Wu Guyun and said, "That's your first goal. Can you accomplish it?"
As soon as the words fell, not only Liang Xiu reacted, but He Lizhou and Wu Guyun were also shocked.
Mr. Bai immediately turned around and looked at the bushes where He Lizhou was. He became suspicious. He never brought anyone with him when he did these things, so there should be no other people in the yard. But just now, Mr. Bai heard a very faint inhalation sound in the bushes.
He paced over, seemingly realizing that the person in the bush had nowhere to hide, and his steps were neither fast nor slow, intentionally giving people a sense of oppression.
He likes this kind of cat and mouse game.
When he came closer and stood at the edge of the bush, she leisurely pushed aside the weeds, her eyes gleaming with excitement, "Come out, little mouse!"
However, there was no one in the bushes he parted.
He Lizhou saw him suddenly straighten up, turn his head and scan the yard, holding his breath and saying nothing.
At this time, Wu Guyun, whose mouth and nose were covered by He Lizhou, noticed that Liang Xiu was about to turn around, and pinched He Lizhou with his backhand.
Among patting, pounding and pinching, pinching is the suggestion with the smallest movement and the weakest sound. There is only one disadvantage of such a suggestion, which is that it is best not to use it with people who cannot bear pain.
But He Lizhou was a man who could not bear the pain. Before he could make a sound, he swallowed his breath, grabbed the rope tied to Wu Guyun and jumped out of the yard wall.
The walls of the Bai Mansion's courtyard were not high. In addition, Mr. Bai had demolished a part of the wall to summon the soul here, so the wall was even lower. He Lizhou jumped out of the courtyard with just one jump.
There was a dull sound when the bullet landed on the ground. Master Bai realized that he had been lured away from home and became furious. It was normal for him to be at a disadvantage in other places and he didn't care. But Master Bai could not tolerate that even his own territory was being played like this.
Although he was fat and bulky, he ran very nimbly and quickly. He reached the gate of the courtyard in just a few steps, kicked the door open and looked around, but did not see any escaping figure.
Mr. Bai believed that they could not run far in such a short time, so he wanted to chase them, but there were two directions in front of him, one leading to his own yard and the other leading to Bai Yimei's yard, and he was unable to handle both by himself.
Liang Xiu happened to follow slowly, and Master Bai just remembered that he had such a helper, so he became anxious and annoyed, "You idiot! You ran away and didn't even know to look for me! Go over there!"
He pointed the direction of his yard to Liang Xiu and went towards Bai Yimei's yard.
After Master Bai left, He Lizhou took Wu Guyun out of Bai Qiuliang's room. After confirming that both of them had left, he untied Wu Guyun and asked in a low voice: "What is Liang Xiu's temper like? I think he took a look inside the room before he left."
What is Liang Xiu’s personality?
Wu Guyun didn't understand much either. This group of players was the most silent one she had ever been in. Her only impression of Liang Xiu was that he was silent and the first one to die.
Seeing Wu Guyun also shaking his head and not saying anything, He Lizhou understood and sighed helplessly, "Well, then I can only pray that Liang Xiu is a good person."
Wu Guyun thought this was a little funny. "Good people will become bad after they die. And what are you worried about? Are you worried that you will be found out for secretly watching your master's ritual?"
He Lizhou just smiled but said nothing. Wu Guyun curled his lips when he saw that he could not get anything out of him. "Then I will go back to rest. I will leave Si Dongyun with you to recover. Please take care of him. He, Guan, things."
He Lizhou raised his eyebrows, wondering if Wu Guyun had discovered something, so he called him strangely this time, but he didn't dwell on it and asked, "Did you gain anything tonight?"
Wu Guyun smiled innocently, "We in this business don't reveal any information in advance."
Nonsense.
He Lizhou saw that her eyes were already filled with fatigue and her wrists were also marked by ropes. He did not embarrass her, "Okay, then you should rest early. You still need to continue working tomorrow."
Wu Guyun did not answer any more, turned around and left leisurely.
He Lizhou didn't know what she told other players after she went back. At dawn the next day, a row of players squatted in front of He Lizhou's door, waiting for him to give clues.
He Lizhou knew that they didn't trust him at first, and Wu Guyun persuaded them to change their minds with just a few words. He didn't expect that she was not only smart but also good at speaking.
When Si Dongyun heard the noise outside, she also stood up. Her injuries last night were not very serious and she had a very good rest that night. She had recovered most of her energy, so she gathered with everyone.
When Wu Guyun saw Si Dongyun coming out, the smile on his face deepened a little, "Are you feeling better?"
Si Dongyun glanced at Wu Guyun sheepishly and lowered his head: "Well... much better, we can continue looking for clues."
Wu Guyun now has a good impression of Si Dongyun, at least she dared to follow him out last night, so he pulled her to his side and felt her pulse.
In infinite flow games, Western medical equipment is hard to come by, so now more people choose more convenient traditional Chinese medicine. Wu Guyun once encountered a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in a certain copy, and learned some basic pulse diagnosis from him, and had a basic understanding of the subject.
Wu Guyun pondered for a while, and finally came to the conclusion, "I'm still a little frightened, so I'll just stay with Manager He tonight and rest."
Si Dongyun quickly understood what Wu Guyun meant, smiled, and nodded, "Okay."
Some of the other players guessed it, while others did not, but no matter what, they did not dare to gamble. Even though they knew that He Lizhou might have some benefits, they did not dare to live in the same yard with the NPC.
After Wu Guyun arranged Si Dongyun's affairs, he counted the number of people again. Except for Liang Xiu, the first person to die, all the others were here.
Wu Guyun looked around at everyone and stayed on Han Chengyin for two more seconds. Han Chengyin ran out on his own last night and everyone thought that something would happen to him, including Wu Guyun. However, Han Chengyin was standing here today in good health.
Han Chengyin seemed to notice Wu Guyun's gaze and raised his head in panic, as if he was afraid that Wu Guyun would not take him with him. His face looked a little ugly, and his eyes were dark after staying up late. He stared at Wu Guyun, "What...what's wrong?"
Wu Guyun forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Everyone should be serious for a while. Time is running out."
Han Chengyin immediately expressed his opinion, "Okay."
Wu Guyun didn't say anything more. She walked forward and knocked on He Lizhou's door. She must have really discovered something. Her attitude towards He Lizhou was completely different. If He Lizhou was really an NPC, she would never do such a thing.
He Lizhou had been waiting in the room for them to finish their conversation, and now they were finally going to talk about business.
He Lizhou also knew that there was a larger mansion at the deepest part of the street outside the Bai Mansion. He was curious about it when he first arrived at the dungeon, but because the players were not in place and the information was incomplete, He Lizhou did not find anything. But this time he planned to go and find out.
He stayed up late last night looking through the gift books of the Bai Mansion for nearly twenty years, and finally saw the records of managing relationships when Mr. Bai first started doing business. So he had a more legitimate reason to pay a visit.
After He Lizhou gave his high-sounding reasons, the players understood what he meant. This time no one refused and they all expressed their desire to go.
Han Chengyin hesitated for a while, then raised his hand as well. He Lizhou counted the number of people and said, "Okay, let's go to the warehouse to get the gifts now, and then come with me to visit the mansion."
There weren't many things in the Bai Mansion's warehouse, but each one was a treasure. He Lizhou picked one up, packed it up, and led a group of players out of the mansion.
The servant at the door wanted to stop them, but then he saw that it was He Lizhou who brought them out, so he hesitated for a while and pretended not to see it.
"Manager He is out again today. Thank you for your hard work."
He Lizhou has been playing infinite games for many years. He has gone from being a person who would avoid the NPC's gaze when telling lies to an actor who can add drama to his own drama without changing his expression. "Well, you guys have worked hard to take care of the business, Miss."
The servant was flattered, "No, no, Steward He, you are too kind."
So, He Lizhou led a group of little followers and knocked on the door of the street mansion in a mighty manner.
After knocking for a minute or two, his wrist was already sore, but no one came. He Lizhou stopped in confusion, lowered his eyes to look at his finger bones that had been knocked red by the wooden door, and rubbed them lightly.
He looked up at the high wall of the mansion. It was too high for him to climb over it like he did last night.
Wu Guyun stepped forward to take over and knocked for another half a minute before finally knocking open the red painted door.
A young servant poked his head out and looked at the group of people with vigilance. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The gift book had the surname of the owner of this house written on it, so He Lizhou smiled and said, "I am the steward of Lan Yuanji's house. The master remembered the support given by Master Shen in the past few years, so he specially asked me to come here to present a gift to express his remembrance and gratitude."
Where is Lanyuan? What is Ji Mansion?
Si Dongyun couldn't help but look at Wu Guyun with doubts, but was pushed back by Wu Guyun.
