There were mottled black spots on Princess Yin Yao's back, as big as a palm, as if she had been splashed with ink.
This is exactly the same as the blue-uniformed employee seen in the monkey park, the difference is that the black spots on the back of the blue uniform have spread to cover the entire back.
Princess Yin Yao had just appeared and had not yet spread.
However, during the time Zhang Yuanqing was observing, the palm-sized mark spread silently and expanded to the size of two palms.
"What's wrong?" Princess Yin Yao raised the trumpet vigilantly, "You look like you're looking at a terminally ill patient."
"You are not a terminally ill patient, but you are almost dead." The Palace Master of Stop Killing said, "Your back is dark."
Princess Yin Yao was stunned for a moment, then realized something, turned her head back with a "click", and looked down at her back.
She turned her head back with a click, grabbed Zhang Yuanqing's sleeve, and a hurried voice came from the small speaker:
"Quick, let Blood Rose take my place."
The princess is so cowardly! Zhang Yuanqing nodded solemnly:
"I will, but I think you and Blood Rose can still be saved. Well, do you feel something is wrong?"
Princess Yin Yao shook her head: "Both body and soul are normal."
"Just because you don't feel anything doesn't mean you're okay." The Palace Master of Stop Killing circled around Princess Yin Yao, her red skirt dragging on the ground.
Strangely enough, she ran around the zoo with her skirt dragging behind her without getting any stains on her.
This skirt seems to have a dust-repelling effect.
After the Palace Master of Stop Killing turned around, he said:
“There must be some kind of pollution in the garden, and those who are polluted will turn evil and become some kind of monster, such as the black-clad employees and Wang Mingming.
"You don't feel anything unusual, which is the biggest abnormality. Doesn't Wang Mingming think he is normal? The man in blue uniform we saw in the monkey park didn't seem to feel that he was contaminated either."
Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved, and he remembered Article 8 of the employee handbook:
Please remember that pandas are soft, cute and honest animals. If not, please read your name loudly on your employee badge.
"Yin Yao, your name, read your name out loud." He said in a low voice.
This sentence seemed to trigger some kind of switch. Princess Yin Yao's scarlet eyes suddenly became dull, and she murmured:
"My name, I can't remember it."
At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing noticed that the black mark on her back spread quickly like ink and soon occupied half of her spine.
The erosion has intensified? Zhang Yuanqing's heart sank, and his palms lit up with a pure and domineering light golden halo, pressing against Yin Yao's back.
The spread of "ink" was visibly curbed.
Princess Yin Yao's red eyes were dull as she murmured:
"My name, I don't remember my name."
An illusory light appeared in the eyes of the Palace Master of Stop Killing. He walked up to Princess Yin Yao and looked into her eyes, causing his red pupils to also light up with an illusory light.
Hypnosis!
"You are Princess Yin Yao, you are Princess Yin Yao"
The Palace Master of Stop Killing repeated it over and over again, his voice soft and with a reassuring power.
But it didn't work.
Princess Yin Yao murmured like in a dream, unable to find herself, and the ink behind her, after being suppressed for a short time, began to counterattack frantically, with "hissing" sounds coming continuously and puffs of black smoke rising.
Zhang Yuanqing felt that his hands were like chicken claws reaching into a frying pan. The evil and filthy power was counteracting the power of the sun and trying to erode him in the opposite direction.
The power of pollution is too high in rank, and his current half-baked power of the Sun is unable to suppress it. Once Princess Yin Yao completely "turns evil", she will be doomed.
"Hypnosis doesn't work!" Zhang Yuanqing shouted as he took out the evil-breaking talisman.
——There are not many evil-breaking talismans left.
The Palace Master of Stop Killing pondered for a moment and said, "Hypnosis doesn't seem to work. It could also be that I didn't say her name correctly."
So Yin Yao is the title of a princess? She is actually a princess with a title. Zhang Yuanqing activated the evil-breaking talisman, temporarily suppressing the erosion of ink.
But he was a little troubled because Princess Yin Yao had never revealed her name.
Who should I ask?
The princess's name might be found in history, after all, she had a title. The knowledgeable Xiahou Aotian and Li Chunfeng would definitely be able to find it out, but the zoo blocked all information, and this rule-based prop could even block astrology.
Even if Beidou satellite phone comes, it won’t work.
"She is a princess from the Ming Dynasty, her surname is Zhu!" Zhang Yuanqing looked at the Palace Master Zhisha.
I don’t know her full name, but I can call her by her last name. There’s really no other way but to give it a try.
If Princess Yin Yao still cannot be awakened, then the only option is to sacrifice the Blood Rose.
The Palace Master of Stopping Killing was very smart and immediately understood what he meant. She changed the subject and said, "You are Princess Yin Yao, and your last name is Zhu."
The musician's voice has a powerful magic, and combined with the hypnotic ability, even stones can be awakened.
A gleam of light flashed across Princess Yin Yao's hollow and dull eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"You are Princess Yin Yao, and your last name is Zhu."
As he repeated this over and over again, the light in his empty eyes continued to bloom, becoming stronger and stronger.
"I, I am Zhu Huiyao." Princess Yin Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, her scarlet eyes were like two small light bulbs, she held up a small trumpet, like the protagonist of a passionate comic book burning a small universe:
"I'm Zhu Huiyao!"
Zhang Yuanqing saw the black spots on her back making hissing sounds and turning into large amounts of black gas that dissipated into the night sky.
Your parents are really gifted at naming. Their full name is Zhu Hui Zao and their nickname is ** Yao. Zhang Yuanqing smiled as if relieved.
"Pigs can bite, don't scream so loudly, you'll attract the staff."
Princess Yin Yao's body stiffened for a moment. She leaned forward abruptly, put the small speaker close to Zhang Yuanqing's ear, and corrected him:
"Zhu Huiyao, Zhu Huiyao, it's Zhu Huiyao!"
The Palace Master of Stop Killing next to him frowned deeply and said in an extremely cold tone:
"Are you two flirting?"
Princess Yin Yao was very afraid of her and immediately stopped her actions.
The Lord of the Stop Killing Palace snorted coldly and looked around vigilantly. They were between the "Panda Garden" and the next park. There were large areas of green plants around them, a stone-paved path under their feet, and two public benches on the side of the road.
She retracted her gaze and said in a serious tone:
"Something is wrong. We encounter danger too frequently. If this were the norm, the park would have been in chaos long ago. The administrators would have to constantly recruit new staff and eliminate those evil employees.
“But in fact, this prop has been in Songhai for more than 20 years and has remained very stable.”
Along the way, almost no park was safe. We encountered a combination of rules at the beginning, and then the monkey park and panda park all encountered crises and were polluted.
Zhang Yuanqing had noticed this detail a long time ago. He frowned and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively:
“Is it possible that the problem lies with us?”
The Palace Master of Stop Killing had dark eyes and nodded slightly: "That's what I mean. We are being targeted. It could be a weapon spirit or something else."
"Is it the weapon spirit's targeting us, deliberately making the anomalies in the garden become extremely active, making us nervous at every step?" Zhang Yuanqing fell into thought.
At this time, Princess Yin Yao raised her trumpet:
"I have a different opinion."
Zhang Yuanqing and the Palace Master of Stop Killing looked at her at the same time.
Princess Yin Yao's royal sister's voice suddenly became low:
"I have experienced the power of pollution, and I have the right to speak out."
"Speak." Zhang Yuanqing and the Palace Master said in unison.
Princess Yin Yao said, "Do you still remember the rules of the monkey park?"
Zhang Yuanqing replied, "The monkeys in the garden can't talk."
Princess Yin Yao held the trumpet and nodded:
"Just now, Yuanshi Tianzun almost turned into a monkey. There is no solution to such a dangerous crisis. The employee handbook exists to make employees do their job and fight against weirdness, not to give partners to weirdness, so why not write a solution."
Without waiting for Zhang Yuanqing and the Palace Master Zhisha to answer, she continued:
"There is only one possibility. The power of pollution is slow, affecting the body and mind unconsciously, but it will not be directly fatal. The blue-clad employees will be contaminated unconsciously during patrol, but as long as they are discovered and handled in time, there will be no problem.
“Only when a very few employees make mistakes during patrols and fail to perform their duties according to the employee manual will the pollution be deepened and they will be transformed into black-clad employees.
"But we just entered here, and it has clearly never been polluted. Why did we skip the 'accumulation' stage and go straight to a pollution outbreak?"
Whether it is Yuanshi Tianzun's alienation or her blackening, it is fatal.
This is obviously an outbreak after pollution has reached its limit, which is very unreasonable.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing finally made a judgment: "Unless we have been polluted without knowing it."
After saying that, the three fell silent and reviewed all the details since they entered the zoo. When was it contaminated?
Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts were not pure enough. He only thought about it for less than ten seconds before giving up trying to get to the bottom of the matter. His main task was to save the Demon Eye, which put him under the most pressure, so he couldn't think without distraction.
"Don't do it yet."
Just when I was about to say forget it, saving the Demon Eye was the most important thing, I saw the beautiful eyes of the Palace Master of Stop Killing shining brightly under his mask:
“We overlooked a detail.
"There was something wrong with Wang Mingming's notes. The door of his dormitory was locked. Wang Mingming couldn't go back to his own dormitory, so he knocked on the windows of other dormitories, and the dormitory staff died one by one.
"But the notes we saw clearly recorded that someone disappeared every night. Isn't this a contradiction?"
Zhang Yuanqing felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't get into the dormitory, so he "killed someone". Then shouldn't there be records of missing persons in his notebook? Who wrote them?
Fuck, I thought the plot in the dormitory was over, but I didn’t expect it to be waiting for me here?
Zhang Yuanqing looked at his two female companions, and they were also looking at Zhang Yuanqing.
In the silent silence, Zhang Yuanqing, who was at the core, said:
"This may be a curse, a very high level curse, but I should be fine now. Palace Master has not encountered any bad luck yet, it should be that your level is high enough to resist the erosion of the curse. As for the Princess."
He didn't dare to say that Princess Yin Yao had eliminated the hidden danger, even though she had just received the baptism of the evil-breaking talisman.
After all, the curse can affect oneself who possesses the power of the sun, which means that the evil-breaking talisman cannot deal with it unless the sun god takes action.
"Why do I feel weaker after my cultivation level has improved?" Princess Yin Yao complained to her master.
I will try not to get involved in the fights at the master level in the future. Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself, "Time is running out, let's keep moving forward."
The team ran along the winding viewing path, and after two or three minutes, an artificial lake appeared in front of them.
The water was dark and calm with a thin layer of mist on it. In the center of the lake grew a sturdy camphor tree, its branches and leaves towering like a canopy and its vines hanging like curtains.
Among the dense vines, there is a vague outline of a human figure with a lowered head.
The King of Evil Eyes!
Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed and was about to rush to the lake. He ran out of the bushes and suddenly caught a glimpse of a strong and mighty white lion lying on the shore in his peripheral vision.
An emergency brake!
"Hide, hide."
He took the Palace Master and Princess Yin Yao and hid behind the bushes.
The two men and the corpse cautiously poked their heads out and looked at the heroic white lion.
It lay lazily on the shore, squinting its eyes as if taking a nap, but its tail swept from time to time, indicating that it was not asleep.
"What's the level of the White Lion?" The Palace Master of Stop Killing looked at Zhang Yuanqing. If he was only at level 7, then she would have to kill him by force.
"I don't know. I've never seen it take action. At first I thought it was a guardian on the periphery, but after reading the employee manual, if nothing unexpected happens, this white lion should be the strongest in the park. I even suspect that the dog elder may not be able to defeat it." Zhang Yuanqing lowered his voice.
The Palace Master of Stop Killing was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, then we have no choice but to lure it away."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded and suddenly said:
"Musicians are good at transmitting sound. Have they communicated with the Demon Eye without disturbing the white lion? For example, ultrasonic or infrasound waves? This guy has been trapped in the park for several months. He must know more than us."
"The Demon Eye certainly can't hear the sound that the White Lion can't hear either." The Palace Master rejected his wild idea, tilted his head and thought for a while, then said:
"But there is indeed a way to contact the Magic Eye without being discovered by the White Lion."
