Chapter 542 Above the Posa (77) [VIP]
Zhao Yinglai picked up the water on the table and drank it all, then let out a sigh in silence.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity for other team members to obtain this key information was actually Chang William's fixed attribute.
It turns out that there is no useless garbage in the world, only misplaced resources.
"Then how did you know... um..." She tried to block the smug look of Chang William next to her and looked at Bo Jiren, "You know the news but can't tell me directly?"
She and Skao did not speak out the moment they learned the news because the strange narrative angle of the old man in the pharmacy aroused Skao's suspicion. In addition, they both knew the true identity of the Gu King Fu Yiran who was trapped in this unknown space, so they stopped the loss in time before telling the news.
But how did these three know that they couldn’t say it?
"Because we remembered your attitude, Brother Jiang Jie, and Brother Skao..." Di Xueni lowered her head a little embarrassedly and took over the conversation, "We have been acting separately these days and haven't obtained any substantial clues to the rules, but you two seem to know this place very well, and you don't feel unfamiliar at all as if you entered a new space..."
Generally speaking, after entering a new unknown space, most team members are very cautious, as there may be all kinds of fatal unknown rules, for fear of making mistakes.
But it was not the case with Scarao and Jiang Jie. Apart from being cautious on the first and second days, the vague caution in them disappeared after Cai Hong and Fang Sha died.
So Di Xueni has been guessing that these two people might have obtained some clues, but this clue contains certain dangers, so she did not share it with these low-end team members.
After all, as the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Since they have the same goal, there is no reason for Jiang Jie not to tell them.
So these two people didn't say anything, either they had other plans, or this news could not be shared.
Considering that Jiang Jie entered here to find his friend, and the team his friend was in was all "dead" to the outside world, they were actually just trapped here, which shows that there is some way in this unknown space that can trap people here without killing them.
If this is the underworld, then that would explain it.
The exploration team members "died" in this unknown space, so from the outside world's perspective, they were indeed "dead", but this is also the underworld, so the "dead" team members entered the underworld and lived in this space in disguise.
This is the fundamental reason why they are trapped here.
In a flash, Di Xueni's sixth sense quickly connected these tiny clues together, and before Bo Jiren could blurt out the news, she quickly blocked his mouth: "No, you can't say it!"
Although I don’t know what will happen if I say it out loud, but looking at the current situation of the team, it will definitely not be a good result.
Following Di Xueni's suggestion, the other two people also understood what he meant and immediately entered the verification phase.
Chang William hinted to the policemen that he was "dead". Sure enough, the policemen acted as if they were used to it, which indirectly confirmed that their guess about this unknown space was correct. During this process, the three did not dare to show the differences between them and the natives of the underworld, so they did not reply to the questions that Bai Jinshu asked them to post in the temporary group chat.
But they couldn't be sure whether Jiang Jie and Skao knew about it, and there was also an aboriginal named Wen Qi around, so they could only play guessing games after seeing them.
"Brother Jiang Jie," Bo Jiren asked impatiently, "our guess should be correct, right?"
Zhao Yinglai propped up her chin with blank eyes, as if she hadn't heard what Bo Jiren said. Bai Jinshu had no choice but to nod and reply for her: "That's about right."
"What's wrong with Brother Jiang Jie?" Di Xueni noticed Zhao Yinglai's dazed look.
"He... probably suffered a bit of a blow." Bai Jinshu said tactfully.
It's more than just a little blow.
Ever since Zhao Ying learned that it was Chang William who made them discover the truth, he fell into self-doubt, with a look of "this is also possible" written all over his face, and his eyes went from speechless to numb and then to empty in just a few minutes.
There are many people in the barrage who are doubting their lives like her.
[This is the first time I’ve discovered that… Chang William is actually quite useful…]
[My buddy’s Tamagotchi has grown up (wiping tears with a handkerchief)]
[Coincidence! Pure coincidence! If they hadn't heard those people passing by talking, Chang William and the others wouldn't have discovered that this was the underworld.]
[To be honest, it can't be called a coincidence. Chang William pretended to be a wealthy noble native, so it was inevitable that he would be treated preferentially by those Yincha. Then it was also inevitable that he would find out what this place is through the performance of those natives. ]
[It all depends on Di Xueni. If she hadn't reacted quickly, Daxian and his team would have to rescue three more people.]
[If you say so, then it still depends on Skao. If Skao hadn't been the first to realize that this news couldn't be told, Di Xueni wouldn't have known through him that this was the underworld.]
[If we must trace the source, shouldn't it be entirely due to the old man in the pharmacy who took the initiative to reveal the information? Going back further, it was all due to the people in the Abnormal Investigation Bureau who showed the same characteristics as the police and gained his trust. ]
[Alright, alright, don't share the credit. Although Chang William is annoying, his fixed attributes are indeed useful. Besides, it's not difficult to find out that this is the underworld. The difficult part is to find out that you can't say that this is the underworld.]
Indeed, as the barrage said, this is just an E-level space. There are no major energy fluctuations, nor any extremely dangerous rules and killing intentions.
All roads lead to Rome. As long as they stay in this unknown space, it is only a matter of time before they discover that this is the underworld. After all, they are living here disguised as indigenous people, so there is no need for other indigenous people who know the truth to hide it from other indigenous people.
Chang William and the others were just lucky that they didn't tell the truth after they discovered it.
Bai Jinshu tapped the table with his knuckles. "Since you all know the truth here, I will briefly explain what you don't know: Team One was trapped because they said things they shouldn't have said and heard things they shouldn't have heard. After being trapped in this space, all members lost their memories. But after the three events of 'the police station burned down', 'people from another world were deported' and 'a death related to this world occurred in another world' the night before yesterday, all the members of Team One who were trapped here recovered some of their memories."
"Jiang Jie and I discovered that the memory that everyone recovered was likely one of the major turning points in their lives," he tried to use simple language to summarize the details that were previously vague and glossed over. "So in order to stimulate them to recover their memories again and find the real reason why they recovered their memories, we tried to recreate these three events last night."
That was the content of the action he vaguely told several other teammates about last night.
"Now we need to try to explore whether Team One has recovered more memories to determine whether their memory recovery is strongly correlated with the occurrence of these three events." He nodded on the table with his head down. "If so, we need to repeat this process for a week until we find the specific rules or reach the exploration time."
At the same time, recovering more memories will also help them rescue people.
According to Zhao Ying, the last time the memory of Gu King Fu Yiran was restored was before he merged with the urban fantasy Gu field. In other words, if his memory can be restored this time, the one who will appear here will be the Gu King who has become the "successor of Taoism". Compared with outsiders like them, the Gu King who does this business must have more ways to get himself out of this world.
At that time, the remaining team members can fish it out if they can, and if they can’t, they can use it as a test subject to see if the Gu King’s method works.
Zhao Yinglai wrinkled his nose, finally recovering from the shock that Chang William was actually quite useful: "Then I'll go find Fu Yiran now? Others may not tell the truth."
Among all the members of Team One, only Fu Yiran and she knew each other in their original world. Others might not tell her about the changes that happened to them because they did not trust her, but Fu Yiran would definitely tell her.
"It's okay," Chang William stood up confidently and patted his chest, "Jiang Jie, why don't I go with you?"
Under the influence of his fixed attributes, others will definitely tell the truth.
“That’s… that’s fine…” Zhao Yinglai frowned as if he had a toothache, and immediately pulled someone to take the blame, “Skao, come with us!”
She couldn't be the only one to be tortured by Chang William's evil voice.
"No need, you can go by yourself. Remember to go and see if Cai Hong and Fang Sha have recovered their memories," Bai Jinshu said with a fake smile, "I have other things to do here."
"What else do you have to say..." Zhao Ying said halfway, then realized that there was a Wen Qi waiting to plan with him who to kill tonight, and immediately changed the topic, "Okay, go ahead."
Listening to Chang William bragging is certainly painful, but slashing people across the world with Skao is even more cruel to your brain cells.
Without looking back, she pulled Tang Ling with her and walked towards the company where the Gu King worked.
In the pharmacy, as Di Xueni and Bo Jiren left, the already narrow space became empty all of a sudden. Only Huai Jiamu who was still in bed and Bai Jinshu who was standing behind the counter and sorting out medicinal materials were left.
And the old man behind the counter.
"Young man," the old man tapped the table with his pipe in his hand, "you should hurry back to recuperate as soon as possible."
There was something hidden in his words, hinting to Bai Jinshu that they couldn't stay here for too long, as the seven days were about to expire.
Bai Jinshu smiled and nodded: "We will."
The only ones who need to hurry back are the natives who have reached the underworld through the psychic game. For the investigation team members, no matter whether the rules have been explored or not, they will be forced to log out of this world once the time comes.
They just need to fill out all the rules before leaving.
The ones who need to race against time are Zhao Yinglai, who rescued the people, and Wen Qi, who can find helpers to kill her enemy while he is still in this world.
Speak of the devil; he will appear.
As soon as Bai Jinshu finished speaking, Wen Qi hurriedly ran in from outside the pharmacy.
She had just volunteered to bring lunch to everyone in the pharmacy, and while she was away, everyone quickly exchanged internal information about the foundation. Now Wen Qi came back without any lunch box, and the anxious look on her face was evident.
"Teacher," she blurted out as soon as she stepped into the room, without even noticing the old man behind the counter, "What should I do! Xu Ke found me!"
