Chapter 484 Above the Posing (19) (1st update + 2nd update + 0.5 update of 45.6w nutrient solution) [VIP]
"Just... don't mess around," Xu Ke was upset. He bit his cigarette holder anxiously and took a long puff. "Why hasn't the captain come out yet?"
"I'll go check it out." He couldn't help biting his cigarette holder again, and approached the closed door of the pharmacy with worry, "You guys can do whatever you want."
Xu Ke naturally had no idea what Bai Jinshu was thinking.
If he could hear what Bai Jinshu was saying at this moment, perhaps he would not be able to smoke this cigarette.
Bai Jinshu stood there, watching Xu Ke stop in front of the pharmacy door, then looked away thoughtfully.
Of course, he and Xu Ke did not reveal all of their speculations, and some of these speculations were not convenient to mention to anyone.
For example, Xiao Guo is just an ordinary person, so it is not surprising that he could seriously injure the captain of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau who is also an ordinary person, but how did he manage to seriously injure Huai Jiamu?
When he first heard the news that Huai Jiamu was seriously injured, the incident happened suddenly and Bai Jinshu did not have time to think carefully. Now that Skao's synchronization rate has increased to 80%, he has noticed many things wrong with this matter.
The first thing is that there is something wrong with Huai Jiamu's serious injury. He can pause time at any time. Even if he didn't realize that Xiao Guo was going to kill him at first, he should have discovered Xiao Guo's plan after the first stab.
As long as time is paused at this moment, he can complete the counterattack in the time-stopped space.
But Huai Jiamu didn't.
He let Xiao Guo stab him until he was seriously injured without stopping, and he did not fight back until Xiao Guo left this world with his doll.
Admittedly, it is sympathetic that Xiao Guo's parents were controlled and threatened, but it is impossible for Huai Jiamu not to fight back because of this, so either he had stopped time before all the team members arrived, or he was unable to stop time at all.
In the former case, Xiao Guo must have said something in the time-stop space, and in the latter case, Xiao Guo must have done more than just stabbing him a few times.
No matter which one it is, we will have to wait until Huai Jiamu wakes up to find out.
Unfortunately, the door of the pharmacy was closed tightly, and nothing could be seen through the gap in the door and the closed window. Standing in Bai Jinshu's position, he could only hear vague voices coming from the room.
Xu Ke squatted at the door for several minutes, but couldn't hear what was said inside. He could only comfort himself that as long as it wasn't bad news, it was good news.
And that is indeed the case.
In the temporary group chat, Bai Jinshu sent a message: [@Jiang Jie, how is the situation? ]
The other team members who didn't know what was going on followed behind and asked.
Bai Jinshu ignored the conversations between these people. A few minutes later, Zhao Yinglai appeared in the group: [@斯卡奥, it’s a bit complicated, but it should be fine. ]
The dramatic coincidence in Scareo's life played a role, and Bai Jinshu got the answer he had expected.
Huai Jiamu is fine, so he starts planning how to fight back.
There is no reason to just wait for the opponent to make a move, and then they can fight back.
Xiao Guo must have completed his "mission" by now and returned to the other world, bringing back the news that he had successfully killed the captain and trapped all the remaining team members in another world.
What time is it in the other world? The so-called "big shot" must have thought that he had achieved his goal and dealt with the insider of the "fatal secret", right?
Now that his biggest worry has been solved, this "big shot" must be very happy.
It's a good thing to be happy, be happy now, because soon he will have no future.
Bai Jinshu lowered his head and slowly straightened his sleeves.
"Xu Ke," he said, smiling, and walked to the door of the ward, looking at the team members around him casually, "Who was the one who went after Cai Hong and Fang Sha during your operation this afternoon?"
Food should be eaten bite by bite, and bills should be settled one by one.
He was very angry, and Scario was also angry. Xiao Guo, who escaped to another world, was too far away. He urgently needed to calm down his anger, so he might as well start with A Lian and A Yuan.
【Hope everyone is OK [Put your palms together]. 】
【Hope someone gets into trouble [put your palms together]. 】
[Aoshen is planning to settle the score? 】
[It would be strange if they didn't settle the score, right? These two first plotted against Ao Shen, and then teamed up with that Xiao Guo to trick the captain. If they do this, I, Ao Shen, must deal with them.]
[Opening, opening, betting on when these two will be finished, I bet within three days. ]
[What do you mean within three days? Be bold and say within one day! ]
[Within one day? The Foundation doesn't hold grudges overnight. I bet it's before tomorrow morning!]
[Hey, hey, hey, before dawn is too exaggerated. I bet it will be before sunset tomorrow. ]
[You are exaggerating.]
…
"Go after Cai Hong and Fang Sha... Let me see," Xu Ke stood up from the ground, stamped his feet which were numb from squatting for too long, looked around, and subconsciously answered, "They haven't come back yet."
Bai Jinshu pretended to be surprised: "You haven't come back yet? Aren't all your team members here?"
"Yes," Xu Ke answered subconsciously while stamping his feet, "We split into two groups. After we caught up with the captain, we found that he was seriously injured, so we carried him back all the way. But the people who went to chase Cai Hong and Fang Sha should not have returned yet. Now it is certain that many fugitives are hiding in another world..."
This means that these fugitives may have now escaped the judgment of the law and are living comfortably in another world, some of which can even be traced back to decades ago.
"They were allowed to hide for so many years..." Xu Ke gritted his teeth and cursed softly. Suddenly he realized that the person in front of him was not his colleague, but someone he had only known for a day. "Wait a minute, why are you asking this?"
The captain's friend named Skao has never been seen before, but he doesn't seem to be a good person. Now that the captain is injured, his reaction seems to be unusually intense.
Xu Ke was worried that the captain would not wake up, and he was even more worried that Skao, as the captain's friend, would seek revenge against the instigator and rashly attack the "big shot" whom he could not contend with after returning to another world.
After finally persuading the other party not to provoke the "big shot", less than a few minutes later, Scarao came to ask Cai Hong where Fang Sha had gone.
Does he think that the appearance of these two people caused the captain to be seriously injured?
Xu Ke recalled the dangerous aura that Scarao had when he learned that the captain was injured. He felt something was wrong and used a more serious tone than usual when handling cases. "Schao, the captain's injury has nothing to do with Fang Sha and Cai Hong. It was because we didn't react in time and realized that Xiao Guo had a problem."
"Huh?" The dangerous man Bai Jinshu looked confused, as if he didn't understand what he meant. "When did I say that Cai Hong and Fang Sha were related to his injury?"
"Then why are you asking them?" Xu Ke did not let down his guard.
"I'm just curious, Cai Hong and Fang Sha...are they wanted criminals?" The person on the other end gave a nonsensical answer.
"...Yes," Xu Ke thought for a moment and replied, "These two have committed many murders. I remember Cai Hong offered a reward of 100,000 yuan, and Fang Sha offered a reward of 200,000 yuan."
"So that's how it is." He saw the long-haired young man in front of him nodded in understanding.
"Don't go looking for them," Xu Ke added cautiously, "these two are murderers who have committed many massacres of families. Don't take risks on your own."
"Of course not," Bai Jinshu curled his lips slightly, "Don't be nervous, Officer Xu, I am a law-abiding citizen. I am just curious whether these fugitives who have fled to another world have been caught."
The corners of Xu Ke's mouth twitched.
Are you really a law-abiding citizen?
Is it possible for a law-abiding citizen to make his hair stand on end and call the police frantically with his sixth sense?
He tried to adjust his facial expression and stressed, "Not yet, but I believe in my teammates. We will definitely bring back all the fugitives who have escaped to this world and bring them under the sanction of the law."
"That's great," the long-haired young man exclaimed, as if he didn't realize the meaning of his words. "I really hope that we can see the news that these people have been sentenced to death soon after we return."
Xu Ke choked: ...I really want to say something, but I don’t know what to say.
His sixth sense told him that Scaro was not as simple as he said. When he said this, his expression looked more like he would burst Cai Hong and Fang Sha's heads with a smile in the next moment. However, his years of experience in judging people told him... where did the gun come from!
Apart from that moment of horror, Scario is indeed what he appears to be now, an ordinary person who is powerless.
Even if he wanted to seek revenge, compared with Cai Hong and Fang Sha, the two serial killers, he was the more dangerous one, right?
Xu Ke barely convinced himself.
[Xu Ke is a bit perceptive.]
[You are a police officer after all, so your sixth sense is very sharp, right? 】
[Aoshen: I am a weak and helpless ordinary person. Xu Ke: Are you kidding me? ]
[Aoshen said on the surface: I hope to see these people sentenced to death after I go back. In my heart: I will kill you!]
[Kill, kill, kill! This is the episode that supports Aoshen the most! ]
[I have already bought it. Cai Hong and Fang Sha have a deadline. The options are three days, one day, before dark tomorrow, and before dawn tomorrow. Does anyone want to increase the stakes? There is no housing management to open the market. ]
[No one is betting on whether Aoshen will succeed anymore, damn]
[Why bet on something that will definitely succeed? I thought everyone knew that Scario's fixed attribute was that he was a nervous knife, which only accounted for the first of these three words.]
【God [Put your palms together]】
"The door is open," Bai Jinshu suddenly looked behind Xu Ke on the screen, "Someone is coming out."
Xu Ke quickly turned around.
As expected, the moment he finished speaking, the door of the pharmacy opened a crack. Xu Ke was startled and quickly turned around to look inside: "How is the captain? Has the person been rescued?"
It’s not that he doesn’t trust the doctors, it’s just that they carried the person back all the way, and the pharmacy is not a modern hospital and doesn’t have the conditions for an operating room. He is really worried about the captain’s condition.
Following Xu Ke's shout, the scattered team members around gathered together.
"How's the captain?"
"Captain, are you okay?"
"Doctor, has our captain been rescued?"
As the inquiries continued, the door was completely opened, revealing the face of Dr. Fan, the owner of the pharmacy whom they had always called "old man": "Be quiet."
The crowd fell silent instantly.
More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked in his direction, not daring to breathe.
"He's fine now," the old man smiled helplessly, "You can go in and take a look, but you have to be quiet."
The players at the door nodded frantically.
"We promise to be quiet."
"Absolutely quiet!"
"We won't say a word!"
"Leave someone on guard tonight. If nothing unexpected happens, they will wake up tomorrow morning."
The team members continued to nod.
"We take turns keeping watch!"
"We won't sleep tonight!"
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."
The old man glanced at these people, nodded vaguely, and made way to the side. The team members rushed in immediately.
None of the team members who rushed in dared to make a sound. They just formed a circle in silence and surrounded the captain in the middle.
After a moment, a slight sobbing sound was heard.
I don’t know who was crying.
Bai Jinshu stood at the door, looking sideways through the wide-open door, and caught a glimpse of Huai Jiamu's pale jaw corner stained with blood in the crowd.
He hasn't woken up yet.
Scarao has a bad temper, and can even be said to be vindictive. No one who provokes him can escape from him alive. The only problem is time.
He has a bad temper, but he is very patient. He can wait until the opportunity to kill with one blow comes, and then end everything without a drop of blood.
But today, he didn't want to wait any longer.
There were still eight hours until dawn, and Bai Jinshu raised his watch to check the time.
According to Scaro's character, the most important thing he should do now is to use the hands of these team members to catch the escaped Cai Hong and Fang Sha after confirming Huai Jiamu's safety, and then at some "inadvertent" moment, create an impeccable accident and mistake, and kill the two people by mistake before being escorted back to the original world.
But now... Bai Jinshu raised his head and looked at the night sky above his head.
Huai Jiamu is no longer in danger of death. When he wakes up, he will be able to see the sun the next day, but the same may not be true for some people.
Regardless of whether the appearance of Cai Hong and Fang Sha was accidental or inevitable, their lives will end tonight.
Inside the pharmacy, Xu Ke kept muttering "It's okay, it's okay" in a low voice, and asked the people around him to get water and towels to wipe the blood off the captain's body.
Several sentimental team members sniffed gently, not daring to cry too loudly.
There were also people who gave all sorts of thanks, chanting all sorts of things to God and Buddha together, quite like Lu Changfeng when he was desperate and tried every possible means to help his patient.
Zhao Yinglai was standing behind the old man, helping him to tidy up the things on the table and organize the medicine box. When he saw Bai Jinshu standing at the door, he winked at him: "If you have something to say, I'll tell you later."
According to Bai Jinshu's idea, the most important thing he should do now is to turn around and look for the culprit who caused all this. When Huai Jiamu woke up the next day, he calmly told him that he had gone to take care of some personal matters last night, and watched coldly as the team members continued to look for two non-existent people here.
It was the most meaningless thing to gather here like these team members, staring at a person who was in a deep coma and could not respond to their performance and shed tears or pray.
But as if possessed, he took a step forward, stepped over the threshold of the pharmacy door, and looked in the direction of Huai Jiamu.
Huai Jiamu was placed on a bamboo bed, with the area below his neck wrapped in bandages. The skin exposed outside the bandages was covered in various bloodstains, and his face above the bandages was very pale, so pale that it was scary.
When he closed his eyes, his eyelashes hanging on his eyelids were glaringly black.
There were a few pieces of blood-stained cloth lying on the ground nearby, and the room was filled with a lingering smell of blood.
Bai Jinshu had never seen him like this before.
He is silent most of the time...or calm and reliable. He can act out an entire love drama in his mind and complete a date process in his mind without any supplement.
He is the evil god who controls an unknown time and space, the owner of a strange castle in a snowstorm in the mountains, a hidden stake behind time and space, and a great ghost who can ignore the rules and walk in the world of ghost stories.
Or he could be the young master who can compete with the Mary Sue male and female protagonists, the poet who holds the key to the next reincarnation in the world of K-system with despair as the background, or the bone dragon who is often silent but active in the mouth of his partner, always waiting for the next ceremony anniversary.
Most of the time, she is Bai Jinshu's new boyfriend, a thorn in the eye of agent Lao Wu, and the subject of gossip among rich second-generation investors.
In countless gaps, Bai Jinshu often felt that he was like a shadow.
"Skao?" Zhao Yinglai passed by him and called softly, "Let's go."
"Let's take the old man out," she said very quickly and in a very low voice, "I suspect he already knows who we are."
Bai Jinshu suddenly came back to his senses
He raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yinglai who was carrying a medicine box, and the old man behind him who was ready to leave.
Amid the whispers of the team members behind her, Bai Jinshu remained calm, took the medicine box from Zhao Yunlai, nodded to the old man behind her, showed a polite smile, and raised her voice to cover the whispers behind her: "We will take you home."
"Oh, you don't need to take me home. I have a driver. Although it's a little late today, I can just wait for him to come." The old man waved his hand, with no abnormality in his expression, as if asking casually, "Are those guys inside all injured patients and friends?"
"Yes," Bai Jinshu lowered his head slightly, pretending to be relieved, "He is usually a good person, so he has many friends. It was really dangerous just now. Fortunately, your place is a 400-year-old brand, otherwise it would be dangerous."
"Who said it wasn't true?" The old man nodded, and boasted, "If you sent this wound to someone else, who knows if it could be saved. I, Fan, am still as skilled as ever."
Zhao Yinglai nodded and flattered: "Doctor Fan's medical skills are naturally good."
"You're calling me Doctor Fan now?" The old man blew his beard and glared, "A few days ago you were calling me old man without any respect."
"I won't call you that anymore," she admitted sincerely. "If this doesn't work, can you deduct our wages?"
Anyway, they won’t live to see the day when they get paid.
"I won't deduct your salary," the old man stared at her for a long while, "You are quite intelligent, how about becoming my apprentice and taking over this pharmacy?"
"This..." Zhao Yinglai was sweating profusely, "Boss, I have my master's..."
Not to mention that Jiang Jie, as the last disciple of the Medical Saint, already has a master. Even if she didn't, she couldn't stay in this unknown space for too long. When the exploration time is up, she will definitely leave here.
Doctor Fan wanted to take in a disciple, but she couldn't really become his disciple.
Besides, if she really became his disciple, she would probably have no time to explore in the next few days. If she couldn't rescue the person by then, it would be a wasted trip.
"Humph," the old man snorted and muttered, "I knew it."
"That boy is quite special..." He snorted coldly.
Bai Jinshu narrowed his eyes slightly.
The only special things about Huai Jiamu are that he is a member of the foundation and he is an evil god. It doesn't matter if the barrage knows the former, but this old man can't find out, so it can only be the latter.
As for the latter...
He lowered his eyes slightly, and Scario's instinct took over.
Huai Jiamu is the evil god who mysteriously disappeared in the [First Hospital]. This news cannot appear in the live broadcast room, let alone be spread out.
If necessary, he must get rid of this old man before any words that could be associated with the evil god come out.
Even though he had just saved Huai Jiamu's life a few minutes ago.
The long-haired young man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he raised his head, raised the corners of his mouth and said softly: "What's special? What are you talking about?"
“Still pretending, still pretending,” the old man rolled his eyes angrily, “I’ve long seen that the three of you are not from this world. And that young man just now, he’s also from another world, right?!”
Bai Jinshu's eyes flickered and the smile on his lips faded slightly.
【Oh shit, oh shit. 】
[How did this old man figure that out? ]
[The physiques of people in the two worlds are different? 】
[Did he realize something was wrong because the captain was injured just now? ]
[No way... He said he had already discovered that Ao Shen and the other three were not from this world, not just now. 】
[Could it be that the three of them kept disappearing before? Or was it that the glass was broken on the first night? ]
There were many guesses on the screen, and on the screen, Bai Jinshu accurately reported the time: "Is it the time when you took Chang William's pulse?"
If we say "long ago", then the earliest time was when he took Chang William's pulse.
At that time, his expression changed slightly, and before the three of them noticed something was wrong, he immediately used "Chang William has kidney deficiency" to cover it up.
Now that I think about it, the experienced old Chinese doctor only had a case of kidney deficiency, so there was no need for him to change his face. I was afraid that he would have discovered at that time that they were from another world.
But finding out that they are from another world is better than finding out that Huai Jiamu is an evil god.
"Yes, you are quite smart," the old man glanced at him and threatened, "Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the government?"
"You won't," Zhao Yinglai didn't notice Bai Jinshu's abnormality, and reacted quickly. He hammered the old man's shoulder and said flatteringly, "You are a good person. You have taken us three in for so long and saved our friends. You will definitely not report us."
Regardless of the old man's position, they stayed here for two or three days before he exposed the identities of the three of them. This shows that he had no intention of reporting them from the beginning.
"You are so smooth-talking. If you don't want to be my disciple, don't touch me." The old man rolled his eyes and took a step forward to emphasize, "I didn't report you because the group of people you brought in were all from the government."
"Yes, yes, yes," Bai Jinshu stepped forward and opened the door of the car that was parked in front of the three people, "Thank you for saving us."
As long as it doesn't involve his interests, he will naturally be grateful.
The driver still showed no sign of getting out of the car. Bai Jinshu was humble, bent down, put the medicine box into the car, and took a small step back: "Take care."
The old man did not get in the car, but stopped at the door, tilted his head and lowered his voice and said: "You and the people from the government come here..."
Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai looked at each other. The old man was asking them why they came.
"It is to catch the criminals who escape to this world." Bai Jinshu also answered in a low voice.
"That captain," Zhao Yinglai added, "was injured by those prisoners."
"He was lucky, he met me. If he met someone else, he might not be saved." The old man's eyes flashed with confusion. He opened the car door and said vaguely, "How long have you been here? If you want to save your life, you must leave here seven days at the latest."
After saying this, he got into the car, closed the door and left immediately, leaving only Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai on the side of the road.
"You must leave within seven days?" Zhao Yinglai frowned, "What do you mean?"
"He doesn't seem to be planning to report us," Bai Jinshu watched the vehicle leave. "We must leave within seven days of entering here... How long does the Foundation's exploration last?"
"Seven days." Zhao Yinglai answered very affirmatively.
Also seven days.
The Foundation's exploration time has an exploratory meaning and is not randomly marked.
This time is the longest survival time of outsiders detected by the Foundation when testing energy intensity. For example, the exploration time of the space "Those Who Abandoned Me" is seven days. It is because in that unknown space, seven days is a complete cycle. It takes seven days from entering the village to leaving the village.
The Foundation needs to ensure that each exploration team can explore the rules of unknown space to the greatest extent possible, so the rated exploration time of unknown space is the maximum time for outsiders to explore normally without being rejected by space.
In other words, if an outsider stays in this world for longer than the rated time without knowing the rules, there is a probability that he will encounter irresistible danger.
So here, is there anything special about the number seven?
Why did the old men at the foundation and the pharmacy both say seven days?
Bai Jinshu frowned slightly, and suddenly, as if an inspiration came to him, a word suddenly popped up in his mind.
——The seventh day.
He suddenly remembered the strange buildings of different types that everyone saw when they entered here, as well as the neatly arranged rooms with only one window where the Gu King that Zhaoying came to find lived, and the pharmacy owner who had lived for more than four hundred years.
A question that he hadn't thought about for a long time popped up in his mind again.
Where exactly is this unknown space?
And now, an answer seems to be on the horizon.
This is where all souls go after death.
The moment he realized this, Bai Jinshu subconsciously wanted to blurt out the true face of this unknown space, and just when those two words were about to come out of his mouth, a very loud car horn suddenly sounded in the distance.
Before the voice fell, a strong fear from the sixth sense suddenly frightened him. This was Skao's sixth sense.
Extreme perception of danger.
He subconsciously held the two words in his mouth and did not spit them out.
It was at this moment that Bai Jinshu suddenly realized a problem.
Why didn’t the old man give the answer directly, but instead hinted at it by saying “leave within seven days”?
Of course, the answer is not difficult to find. From the moment they enter here, as long as they start to think in this direction, it is easy to think of the answer.
Then why didn’t the old man just say it directly, and why didn’t Team 1 fill in this item in the rules?
One of the team members is Fu Yiran, the Gu King who is a descendant of Taoism. His daily life is dealing with these things. After entering this world, shouldn’t he immediately discover the truth of this unknown space?
This is a genuine Gu King, who emerged from the Gu farm and has swallowed up countless urban fantasy male protagonists who are also descendants of Taoism.
If he had not discovered that this was the underworld as soon as he entered here, the other urban fantasy male protagonists who died at his hands would have died with regrets.
So... the reason why Team One was wiped out seems to have been found.
Bai Jinshu blinked slowly, then gradually raised his eyes and looked towards Zhao Ying.
He saw another pair of eyes that also revealed fear.
"Just now..." Zhao Yinglai spoke slowly.
Bai Jinshu raised his index finger and made a gesture to keep quiet.
Zhao Yinglai took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Oh my god, that's so cruel..."
Why did Fu Yiran, a Gu King who fought his way out of a Gu field, fail in [Above Posuo]?
Because he saw the truth here at a glance, and then told his teammates the answer.
The answer was too easy to get, as simple as 1+1=2 for him, so after a simple verification, he just said it out loud.
He could not imagine that giving this answer would cost them all their lives.
It is indeed not difficult to explore the rules of this unknown space, but behind the simple answer, there is a murderous intention that the discoverer cannot realize at the first moment -
This is another world. If the living souls learn information they should not know, they will be left behind in the world that belongs to the dead.
This is the reason why not only was the team almost wiped out, but no clues were left behind.
It is simply impossible for them to fill in the rules in this world. If they want to leave clues, there are only two ways. Either collect all the rules at once and fill them in at once, then be quickly taken away by the Foundation's logout program.
Otherwise, they can only spend seven days exploring here, and then fill in all the rules they have learned so far before logging out.
Apart from these two methods, if you speak or fill out the rules under any circumstances, you will be detained immediately and there will be no possibility of leaving here.
Almost…
Zhao Yinglai suddenly flipped over from the bed, hugged the pillow and took several deep breaths.
Not only Fu Yiran, but she almost fell into the trap as well.
If she had blurted out this answer just now, she might be fine if she came in using the shadow puppet, but Skao would definitely be left here.
Through the eyes of the shadow puppet, she saw Skao's eyes glance over at her slightly in the deep night of the unknown space.
"Jiang Jie, this is just a guess," the sudden realization on his face a few seconds ago had turned into an intriguing smile, "We should find someone else to test it."
The author has something to say:
Show up! Test subject A-Lian!
Therefore, those who have given the answer and seen the answer in the comment section before are all left here (stare)
I didn't expect that Team 1 would die like this, didn't you think about why the Gu King who plays with metaphysics didn't realize that this is the underworld? (Ghost)
A person who played tricks on the readers and left with his hands folded in satisfaction:D
