Lunch time was as rich as ever.
Lin Xiaoman observed silently without showing any emotion, and then came to the conclusion: Sydney and Ika ate too much!
Moreover, the two of them were in agreement that they mainly ate meat, and as for fruits and vegetables, they only ate a few bites.
Lin Xiaoman seriously suspected that the few bites of vegetarian food they ate were to cover up their tracks.
After lunch, before Sidney and Ika went to work, Lin Xiaoman asked a few more questions and then got the action plan.
According to the testimony of the patrol knights last night, the monster may be outside the village, so tonight, not only will patrols be arranged within the village, but a search and hunting team will also be organized to search for the monster outside the village, and Sidney and Ika will lead the team personally.
As usual, the meeting ended with Lin Xiaoman being told to be careful, and Sidney and Ika went to the office to discuss business.
Lin Xiaoman seemed to be thinking about something, and said in the group chat, "Big move, something is bound to happen tonight."
Long Jiujiu nodded slightly in agreement and replied in the group chat, "Zachary was burned by Uncle Shao last night. Whatever the monster's actions were, they were disrupted. So, it's very likely to act again tonight."
After making all kinds of speculations in the group, Lin Xiaoman came out of the restaurant, went back to the room, and then started acting in an exaggerated manner.
Lin Xiaoman: "Oh my god, there are ten crystal coins missing from the money box in my room!!"
Ten crystal coins, the entire Selley is not worth that much money, so the theft immediately became a top priority.
Lin Xiaoman brought along the knights he had hired, including Long Jiujiu and Shao Qi, and they began searching the village. With Long Jiujiu's cooperation, they successfully found ten crystal coins in Butcher Ward's house.
Shocked and bewildered, Ward was completely unable to explain the origin of the crystal coins. He was tied up and locked up in the basement cell of the administrative building.
After going through the motions, they captured the man openly. Lin Xiaoman continued to act out the interrogation, then found an excuse to send the others away.
Once the strangers left, only Lin Xiaoman, Long Jiujiu and Shao Qi were left in the cell, as well as Ward, who was blindfolded and tied to a wooden pillar and kept shouting, "I am innocent, it was not me who stole the money."
Without anyone else, Long Jiujiu immediately called out in the group, "Uncle Shao, go ahead, it's up to you!"
Glancing at him without replying, Shao Qi carefully felt the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, and slowly took out an SS-level or above exorcism mirror produced in the magical world from the space.
Shine the exorcism mirror at Ward...
No response.
This one doesn’t work, try another one.
Within the scope allowed by the laws of nature, Shao Qi kept playing tricks and changed props one after another, but unfortunately, it was useless and there was no response at all.
In this situation, either the props are incompatible with the world, causing the props to malfunction, or Ward is just a normal person.
After trying dozens of props, Shao Qi gave up and used his mental power instead, questioning Ward's soul.
Shao Qi: 'Who are you?'
Ward: "My name is Ward, I was born in Searle..."
Ward explained everything in detail, just like he explained his household registration.
As a level 4S, Shao Qi did not think that the monsters in the SS-level world could resist his mental power, so in Ward's subjective consciousness, he was still Ward.
Either he is really just Ward, or the time has not come yet and the monster is in a 'sleeping' state.
Shao Qi: "Have you ever killed anyone?"
Ward: "No, why would I kill anyone? Murderers will be sentenced to death by hanging! Even though I'm a butcher, I don't have the courage to kill anyone!"
After a few more mental inquiries, and still no unusual results, Long Jiujiu suggested in the group chat, "How about we get a mall item? What's that? A Monster Appraisal Book suitable for the magical world!"
Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and he quickly agreed, "Yes, let's check it out."
Shao Qi: "Using mall props is a trick."
Long Jiujiu: "Oh my, don't be so harsh. This isn't an exam, Uncle Shao. Monsters are appearing in large numbers right now. If we investigate slowly, it would be a waste of time! Besides, you've already used so many items from other worlds. Your character has already collapsed. You definitely don't have a chance to be the Son of Heaven. Just go for it~"
Shao Qi was silent and sighed helplessly in his heart, because this world did not play by the rules, his character was ruined, and it was impossible for him to become the Son of Heaven.
Well, the cause and effect is wrong. He is determined that he cannot gain the favor of heaven, so his character collapses.
So, buy it.
Open the mall, search for props, and Shao Qi bought a [Monster Exploration and Identification Encyclopedia (ss)] which integrates many functions.
After buying the props, Shao Qi did not rush to use them. He first felt the pressure of heaven to make sure that he would not be struck by lightning before using the props.
After taking it out, the [Identification Encyclopedia] appeared before him as a hard paper book. Shao Qi took the book and flipped it open. As the book opened, a compass-like object appeared on the page like a 3D projection.
Shao Qi was obviously very familiar with this prop. With a simple operation, he set the search range to 200 meters.
I started searching, and saw the hovering pointer slowly circling in circles, round and round, at a speed of seconds.
Shao Qi took the appraisal certificate and moved closer to Ward, but the pointer was still spinning in circles at a speed of seconds.
Long Jiujiu: "What's going on? Nothing?"
Shao Qi: "Maybe the time has not come yet."
He expanded the search range and searched again, but the pointer was still circling around aimlessly. This time, Shao Qi was completely certain that the monsters would only appear between 8 pm and 4 am, strictly following the original copy time of the Gate of Life and Death.
After a few more words, the party ended and the three of them returned to their respective residences. Lin Xiaoman and Long Jiujiu went straight into a state of recuperation (catching up on sleep), while Shao Qi simply turned on the idle mode after lying down.
After making sure that Heaven would not deal with him in the short term, Shao Qi began to collect world data in his true soul form.
Because of the sudden magical development of the world, all the previous data collection work was wasted. We were definitely back to the time before liberation and had to struggle all over again.
Time always flies when we sleep. Soon, the sound of the big bell "dong dong dong" came again.
It's dinner time.
Lin Xiaoman and Long Jiujiu appeared at the dining table on time, and soon, the village chief Ika and Sydney came in side by side.
After a few casual chats, dinner began.
Probably because the butcher Ward was arrested, the work of slaughtering livestock was a little difficult. The amount of beef, mutton and pork on the table was a little less, and they were replaced by small livestock foods such as chickens, ducks and geese. Ika and Sidney continued to maintain their gluttonous style, oh, and there was also Long Jiujiu.
Lin Xiaoman was the only one in the audience who had a normal appetite.
After dinner, they exchanged a few words. As usual, after saying "be careful," Sidney and Ika went about their evening work arrangements.
