"Great, another Bronze 3? Maybe he can find a way to crack it." The only female in the team was full of surprise and kept glancing at Su Mu out of the corner of her eye.
"You said you are Bronze 3?" Tie Feng looked doubtful. "Boy, now is not the time to lie. I don't think the Bronze Coffin can recruit Bronze 3 transcendents. What is your Bronze Law?"
Su Mu pushed his brown glasses and said calmly, "Why? You want to try it?"
There was an unquestionable strong confidence in that calm tone, just like a long-time superior looking down on others.
"Humph." Tie Feng snorted coldly, "Boy, I'm not afraid of you. The most urgent task now is to lift the curse. There's no need to create unnecessary trouble."
Although he said this, he couldn't hide the fear in his eyes.
"I wonder if anyone would like to explain the curse?" Su Mu asked politely. The woman in the crowd was about to speak, but the Taoist priest spoke first.
He was so frightened by Tie Feng that he could not speak, but now he seemed to have found his backbone, and his back straightened a lot: "Brother Su, my name is Jun Wushang, we are one of us! Let me tell you, we all came here to avoid the Unmemorable.
All those who enter the sacrificial site will be targeted by this statue, and no one can leave. This angel and demon statue will curse people based on their good or evil. Good people will see the statue completely turn into an angel and then be burned by flames, while evil people will see the statue turn into a demon and then its body will rot.
Some people have tried to attack the statue before, but it was useless. Even Mr. Tiefeng, who was at Bronze III, couldn't leave any mark on it. We can only watch ourselves slowly burn to death or rot to death."
As Jun Wushang spoke, he lifted up his Taoist robe, revealing his mostly rotten body.
Su Mu raised his eyebrows slightly: "How does the statue distinguish between good and evil?"
Cursing based on good and evil? He found it a bit puzzling, because the standard of good and evil is difficult to judge. In the eyes of ants, all humans are bad people, and they trample their compatriots to death for no reason every day.
"The statue will ask questions, and then judge good and evil based on your answers. Remember, you must not lie, or you will be killed by the statue!"
“When does it ask questions?”
"As long as you get close to the statue, it will come alive and ask questions."
Yang Dongqing's eyes lit up, and he found a way to break the impasse: "Then if I don't go over, won't I not be cursed?"
Tie Feng sneered, "You think you're the only one who's smart and we're all fools? I've said before that anyone who enters the sacrificial ground has been watched by the statue. If you don't approach the statue to answer questions for a long time, you'll offend both the angels and the devils at the same time, and your body will be burned and rotten."
Yang Dongqing's face froze and he felt a little angry, but he couldn't beat the other person or win the argument.
Su Mu did not go directly to find the statue, but asked a question: "Are you all affiliated with the company founded by the Murong family?"
Tie Feng pointed at the two people beside him and said, "We are from Lingshu Company. The ones over there are from Lingyao Company, which was founded by the fourth young lady of the Murong family. I don't need to tell you guys, Bronze Coffin, the nominal third young lady of the Murong family."
He did not mention the word "illegitimate daughter", obviously he still had some concerns about Su Mu's "Bronze Level 3" strength.
"So you all are here to look for the Golden Eye?"
Everyone nodded with different expressions.
"If it's not for the Golden Eye, who would have the leisure to come to a ghost place like the Abandoned City?" Tie Feng curled his lips.
Suddenly, Su Mu smiled: "It seems that there is no Golden Eye here."
Everyone was stunned, and Tie Feng asked anxiously: "What do you mean? How do you know there is nothing here?"
"Where did you hear about the Golden Eye?"
"Why should I tell you?" Tie Feng asked vigilantly.
Su Mu smiled slightly: "Then let me guess, your company should have obtained the golden leaves from scavengers, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people from Lingshu and Lingyao companies changed at the same time. The two sides looked at each other and obviously realized that something was wrong.
Tie Feng was still stubborn: "So what? The golden tree must have dropped more than one leaf. Isn't it normal for many scavengers to pick it up? This further proves that there is a golden eye here!"
Su Mu sighed, and the eyes behind the brown glasses looked like he was looking at an idiot: "As you said, there should be more companies that know about the Golden Eye, not just the Murong family. Haven't you ever thought about why all the companies here are from the Murong family?
And all the companies are here, except for the company of the eldest son of the Murong family?"
"this......."
“Could it be…?”
Several people looked at each other and saw the changes on each other's faces. They were not fools, but they were cursed and it was difficult for them to think calmly. Their minds were full of thoughts about the curse. Now, after Su Mu's guidance, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
"You mean this is a trap set by the eldest young master of the Murong family?" Tie Feng stood up suddenly. He suddenly groaned in pain and covered his rotten left arm tightly, obviously touching the wound.
"Maybe, but it doesn't matter." Su Mu shrugged indifferently. In fact, he was more inclined to believe that Murong Mengli's fiancé was also involved, because Han Yu did not show up from beginning to end.
It doesn't matter to him who is the mastermind behind the incident. He never cares about evidence when seeking revenge. He just kills all the suspects. There will always be a real enemy among them.
He also liked the surprise very much and decided to give one in return later.
Everyone's faces turned very ugly. It would be hard for anyone to avoid hatred after being framed and reduced to this state.
"Next question, after you entered the sacrificial ground, did the Unmemorable appear again?"
Perhaps out of his confidence in Su Mu's strength and intelligence, even Tie Feng did not make any trouble this time and said directly: "No, the Unmemorable should be afraid of the statue and dare not enter the statue's range."
Su Mu nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that this statue was even more bizarre than the one who could not remember. But...why did the mastermind behind the scenes put these two mutually restraining things in the abandoned city area?
The statue is so strange that it can trap all the extraordinary people here and leave them waiting for death. Logically speaking, the mastermind behind the scenes only needs to send out the statue, and there is no need to create another person with no memory.
Unless...the statue was not created by the mastermind behind the scenes, but was already here.
