Chapter 131 The Blind Are Prophets You Will Kill Yourself
They invited Yue Fan and others to attend Qin Xishuang's funeral, most likely without any bad intentions. Firstly, the Blue Camp members and the leader were only interested in each other. Maybe some people hoped that Qin Xishuang would die sooner so that they could become the leader. Secondly, Qin Xishuang's body was carried out by Wei Wei from the dungeon.
The most important thing is that Gao Mengtang is so famous and he brought the Black Tower to the surface world. The smart ones all want to make friends with him instead of making enemies with him.
Gao Mengtang forwarded the email to Wei Wei: Shall we go?
The chat box showed "the other party is typing", but there was no message from Wei Wei. He must be struggling with his phone, Gao Mengtang thought.
Model worker: Go. If we don't go, it will seem like we are afraid of trouble.
Early the next day at noon, Gao Mengtang, Wei Wei and Duan Song flew to Nanzhou, went deep into the rainforest and found the Blue Camp base camp.
After a brief greeting and the exchange of some gifts, both sides said a lot of things like "friendship lasts forever, blue and white camps are forever united". The people from the blue camp arranged a room for them to rest for a while, and the funeral would be held formally tomorrow morning.
The person who received him was a woman wearing a cheongsam named Zhang Qiyan. She was cheerful and outgoing and loved to talk. She was of medium height, round, with big eyes and two dimples. Her smile was particularly sweet and amiable. She was the kind of person who would immediately make others like her.
If you look closely, you'll find that her eyebrows are too sharp, and her brow peaks are too sharp. She has a boss lady-like aura of authority.
Zhang Qiyan's eyes were sparkling, showing no sadness at the death of his leader.
Maybe she got a promotion and a pay raise because of Qin Xishuang's death, Gao Mengtang thought.
"Where is your deputy leader, Lin Li?" Gao Mengtang asked. Although he had never met her, he was a little curious about Lin Li's divination, including her as a person.
Gao Mengtang felt it was strange that the deputy leader was not present at the funeral, which was such a big event.
Zhang Qiyan was stunned, and the smile on his face became a little more alert: "Brother Mengtang, do you know Lin Li?"
Gao Mengtang: "I've heard of her, but I've never met her."
Zhang Qiyan immediately felt relieved: "I have to tell Lin Li this good news: Leader Yue Fan knows her name! Lin Li is also packing his things inside."
I thought that the "packing up things" in this sentence refers to Lin Li packing up Qin Xishuang's belongings.
When I went in, I saw Lin Li was packing his things in the room. A large suitcase was open, clothes were piled in a mess on one half of the suitcase, and the other half was filled with a bunch of strange props used for divination.
"Good evening." The room was a mess, Gao Mengtang had no place to stay. He stood at the door and looked around at the mess. "Are you going out for a trip?"
Hearing the voice, Lin Li reacted a little slowly and raised her head. Her glasses almost slipped to the tip of her nose. She stared at Gao Mengtang over the top of her glasses with her dull and lifeless eyes.
"Um, did I disturb you?" Gao Mengtang took a half step back, "I'm so sorry, eh?"
Lin Li suddenly stood up, held Gao Mengtang's face with both hands, and their noses touched together.
"Kill... yourself." She murmured, "The hidden pain in your eyes, you will die, the murderer who killed you is you. Why, why did you do this... You will die..."
Gao Mengtang: ...
What surprised Gao Mengtang more than the fact that he would "kill himself" was that, while he was 182cm tall, Lin Li was only slightly shorter than him, estimated to be about 1.8m tall.
At this time, Wei Wei and a group of people from the Blue Camp finished socializing, got some information, and came to find Gao Mengtang.
As soon as he went upstairs, he saw him and Lin Li with their noses touching, and Lin Li's hand was holding Gao Mengtang's face.
"Excuse me," Wei Wei said expressionlessly, "Are you two planning to establish a Qin-Jin relationship?"
Lin Li's gaze turned to Wei Wei again. She staggered towards Wei Wei as if sleepwalking. "A sign of destruction. You will bring about a catastrophe, just like the one you experienced..."
Wei Wei: "Oh, that's a pity. How is my fortune recently?"
Lin Li shook his head repeatedly, muttering "destruction" and went back to pack his luggage, leaving the two people in the corridor.
The two sat down in the chairs in the corridor, and Gao Mengtang couldn't help but wonder: "What is Lin Li doing packing his luggage?"
"She was kicked out of the Blue Camp." Wei Wei told Gao Mengtang what he had found out.
At first, Qin Xishuang insisted on making Lin Li the deputy leader, which caused dissatisfaction among the people. But Qin Xishuang needed Lin Li to help him calculate his marriage, and insisted on putting Lin Li in the position of deputy leader.
Now that Qin Xishuang was dead, Lin Li had to pack up and leave. She was in a state of confusion, living in a fantasy, not caring about the deputy leader or the camp.
The new leader of the Blue Camp was Zhang Qiyan, whom they had just met.
Wei Wei smiled helplessly: "Lin Li was driven away by Zhang Qi Yan, and he said to Zhang Qi Yan in surprise: I see the supreme glory in you. It's so naive that I don't know what to say."
"Blind man! Is it really you?!"
The exclamation interrupted their conversation. A boy stood not far away, wanting to get closer but not daring to. He had a kind of fresh and immature beauty, and it was obvious that he had just entered the Black Tower game not long ago.
Gao Mengtang: "Yes, it's me. Hello."
"I'm your fan! Blind man, I watch every one of your videos!"
At this time, Lin Li came out of the room dragging a suitcase. She turned her head slowly and said, "Blind man, are you here?"
Gao Mengtang: ...We were so close to each other just now, didn’t you recognize me?
Lin Li pulled out a crumpled photo from her pocket. It was a screenshot of Gao Mengtang's video. She held the photo next to Gao Mengtang and compared them for a long time.
"That's right, that's right. You are blind," Lin Li threw down the suitcase with a bang, "You can tell fortunes, and you predicted Qin Xishuang's death..."
Gao Mengtang: "I didn't..."
In one of the clearance videos, Gao Mengtang’s face was soaked by the rain. He was wiping the rain off his face, but the system edited it into him wiping tears.
The audience insisted that Gao Mengtang knew that something sad was going to happen and gave him a prophet character.
Sure enough, Qin Xishuang and Bo Yao died, and the audience became even more convinced that "the blind can tell fortunes."
He is the only true God, omniscient and omnipotent. Predicting the future is a piece of cake for him!
Lin Li was one of the people who were misled. She looked at Gao Mengtang with even more enthusiasm: "Tell me about the future, the future that I can't see, and make a prediction."
Gao Mengtang had a numb expression on his face: "I predict that someone here will suddenly go crazy and start breakdancing."
"What, breakdance?" The male fan poked his head out from behind the camera. He was just taking a 360° panoramic photo of Gao Mengtang from a distance. He didn't hear their conversation clearly, but only caught the key word "breakdance".
"I can breakdance! Blind man, do you want to see breakdance?"
He immediately put down the camera, put his head on the ground, and spun at high speed like a top.
Gao Mengtang: ...Brother, you don’t have to cooperate!
Lin Li was so excited that his whole body was shaking: "Prophet! A true prophet!"
Gao Mengtang: "Coincidence! That was just a coincidence! I predicted that your suitcase would explode. Could it be that it will really explode?"
"What?" Lin Li checked the suitcase in a panic. "Will it explode? Then my books..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang and the suitcase really exploded. The zipper popped open and a wisp of black smoke came out of it.
Gao Mengtang: “…”
Wei Wei: "Do you really know how to tell fortunes?"
"Won't!"
Several people hurriedly put out the fire, and in the ashes, they found a half-broken insect spray bottle, two or three sunscreen spray bottles, dozens of packets of burnt desiccant, and several broken glass bottles.
Gao Mengtang: "You put the insecticide spray and desiccant in the suitcase? There are bottles that are not screwed tight next to it?"
The desiccant used in the forest is quicklime, which releases a lot of heat when it comes into contact with water. Next to the desiccant is a pile of unsealed glass medicine bottles. There is also insecticide spray in the box. It looks like a miniature chemical laboratory. It would be strange if it didn't explode.
"She's an idiot in life." The male fan leaned close to Gao Mengtang's ear and whispered, "Last time, she mistook insecticide for sunscreen spray and sprayed it all over the leader's face, killing several butterflies around the leader. Oh, now she's the former leader..."
Lin Li stared at Gao Mengtang's eyes crazily: "Eyes of the Prophet!"
Almost all fortune tellers in the world can only get an ambiguous result, such as you will move towards the light or you will fall into darkness.
For specific things, such as whether it will rain tomorrow, they still have to check the weather forecast.
Therefore, the more accurate the divination results are, the more powerful the fortune teller is.
For true prophets, the future is right before their eyes, playing out like a movie. They can see everything from the separation and death of a group of people to what a person will eat for three meals the next day.
“Exploding suitcase” is accurate enough.
Lin Li was so excited that he could not speak, tears welled up in his eyes. He tightly grasped Gao Mengtang's hand and said, "Prophet, the prophet who brought enlightenment to mankind!"
"I really didn't mean...it was just a coincidence." Gao Mengtang smiled bitterly, "Then I predict that you will fly to the sky today." I just don't believe that you can grow wings on the spot.
Lin Li: “I knew it…”
Gao Mengtang: "That's good to know."
"...a hermit who doesn't like to show off his strength." Lin Li stared at him intently, as if if he stared at him for long enough, Gao Mengtang would be able to take off his disguise and turn into a prophet on the spot.
Gao Mengtang: “…”
Just as I was speechless, a system notification sounded in my ear: "【777 Fortune Teller】 has become your follower. She is loyal to you."
"You have set your followers to automatically join your camp. It is detected that Linli has no camp yet. Linli Linli has automatically joined Yuefan. You can check it in the camp member list."
With a crash, all the debris in Lin Li's hands fell to the ground, and she almost screamed, "Fly to the sky!"
Gao Mengtang: “Eh?”
"Moon Flag. Moon. In the sky." Lin Li said seriously.
You don't need to force an explanation!
Forget it. No matter what he says or does, he can't stop others from helping him create a persona.
No one cared whether Lin Li stayed or left. People in the Blue Camp seemed to have long disliked this mysterious deputy leader. However, a few people heard that Lin Li had joined Yuefan and said sourly: She is so lucky, she was promoted to deputy leader painlessly and then smoothly transferred to Yuefan.
Qin Xishuang's funeral was simple, but not perfunctory. However, as soon as the funeral was over, Zhang Qiyan clamored to have a dinner with everyone, saying that Chief Qin had found "true love" and had joined the Black Tower game for more than three years, so he could be said to have lived a long and happy life, and this was a happy funeral.
This was actually a test of his own prestige. Zhang Qiyan was the new leader, and many people followed him.
Gao Mengtang and others found an excuse to decline, and Zhang Qiyan did not force them to stay. After all, she only wanted to show off in front of her subordinates during this meal.
The black clay puppet helped Lin Li pack another bag, and the three of them prepared to leave.
"There is another crystal stone." Lin Li said, "It's cherry blossom pink, and you can see the emotional line. It's in Qin Xishuang's hand."
After saying that, she pushed open Qin Xishuang's bedroom door.
The scent of flowers and fruits wafted in the air, and a group of colorful butterflies flew out from behind the door, fluttering lightly over everyone's heads with their scaly wings and fluttering into the corridor.
The bedroom is so exquisite that it seems as if an illustrator spent a month carefully drawing it. Every detail is carefully thought out. There are sparkling glitters everywhere. There are dozens of vases of different styles and exquisite designs, and the flowers in the vases are in full bloom.
The carpet embroidered with gold threads was spotless. Gao Mengtang couldn't bear to step on it: "I heard that Qin Xishuang's personal hygiene... is terrible. You must have spent a lot of effort to clean up his bedroom."
"Clean up his room? No, we didn't do that," Lin Li opened a drawer of the bedside table. "Before entering the [Cave of Sorrow] dungeon, I calculated that he would find true love. He was very excited and spent a week cleaning up his room by himself. He said that the person wouldn't like his room being so messy."
Duan Song laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. He grabbed a sticky tentacle in his pipe and said, "He Luo, come out and take a look at the love nest prepared for you. Are you satisfied?"
There was an empty picture frame hanging right above the bed. The varnish on the white oak frame had not dried yet, and the frame must have been stretched recently. The outer ring was hand-pasted with multiple layers of vines and dried flowers. Gao Mengtang was about to ask why there was an empty picture frame.
The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
He guessed the answer.
Qin Xishuang wants to use this photo frame to display photos of him and his partner.
*
There were only four of them in the first-class cabin of the plane.
Wei Wei discussed Lin Li's salary. As the deputy leader, although her income was not up to expectations, it was still acceptable. After coming to Yuefan, she was treated unfairly and was afraid that she would feel unbalanced.
Although, Lin Li was more interested in Gao Mengtang's "eyes of prophecy" than his salary. On the way, he often turned his head sharply and stared at Gao Mengtang's eyes.
After sitting for a long time, she simply stood up, leaned on the front seat, and stared at Gao Mengtang without blinking. There were two greasy fingerprints on the lenses that had not been wiped clean.
"7000, what do you think?" Wei Wei stood up and stretched his shoulders, pressing the calculator on his mobile phone.
Lin Li: "Prophet... can we predict the future leader... will we crash?"
Gao Mengtang: “No.”
He reminded Lin Li many times not to say strange things in the Black Tower game in the real world, but Lin Li didn't listen.
"What about the hijacking?"
The flight attendant stared at her in horror.
Gao Mengtang: "Of course not!"
"Seven thousand?" Wei Wei's voice rose a little.
Lin Li turned around belatedly and stared at Wei Wei for a moment: "You..."
Wei Wei: "Am I going to die, or will this bring bad luck?"
“Neither…” Lin Li stood up and slowly walked towards him, “You… are shorter than me.”
Wei Wei: “…”
He turned to Gao Mengtang and said, "Mr. Gao, I just remembered that we have a six-month internship period, during which we will not receive any salary."
It takes more than ten hours to fly from Nanzhou to Zhongzhou. Gao Mengtang was tired and didn't want to sit for so long. They transferred in Xizhou and played in a tourist city for a few days.
The plane landed safely. Lin Li was amazed as if this was some low-probability event: "There was no plane crash, and no hijacking. A prophet who can see the future!"
On the day of landing, I met with Helun Baijie.
As the saying goes, the emperor is far away and the sky is high. People from wizard families know their own limits. They are incompatible with mainstream society and rarely live in Middle-earth, the center of power.
More than 90% of wizard families live in Xizhou, including Bai Jie's family. Bai Jie also went to college in Xizhou.
Nowadays, the Black Tower game has caused unrest in the world. He has to go to dungeons every now and then and has no time to go to school. Today he came to Xizhou to apply for withdrawal.
When six people get together, of course they have to have a hotpot.
Clear soup, all vegetarian.
Bai Jie ate with a righteous look on his face, treating this as a ritual of worshipping the gods. Duan Song crossed his arms over his chest, standing still, with the words "I am a carnivore" written on his face.
Until Gao Mengtang picked up a piece of soft cabbage, dipped it in chili pepper and sesame paste, and put it on his plate.
"Junior, eat some vegetables." His eyes curved into two crescents, and his cheeks looked even whiter and tenderer in the steam from the hot pot.
Duan Song was stunned: "I——"
"Don't you like it?" Gao Mengtang frowned slightly, "Okay."
He wanted to take the cabbage away with a wronged look on his face.
Duan Song: "I like it, I like it. I like eating vegetables the most."
He couldn't stand Gao Mengtang's attentiveness in picking up the food for him and almost ate it with his chopsticks.
Lin Li stared at the bubbles in the hot pot, as if the future was a piece of yam rolling at the bottom of the pot.
After the meal, when paying the bill, He Lun muttered: "My sister and my parents are here too. They are here for tourism and live nearby..."
Before he could finish his sentence, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and his expression changed.
Mom First: I’m so mad!
Dad is Servant No. 1: Son, please try to persuade your mother, she is about to have a quarrel with others.
My sister is servant number three: The powder keg is about to explode!
The family went out for a trip and chartered a yacht. Just as they had packed up, the owner of the yacht suddenly told them that a tyrannical man had taken a fancy to the yacht and asked for it. The tycoon paid three times the rent and also gave the He Lun family a subsidy of 50,000 yuan, asking them to move out quickly.
The Helun family was not short of this little money, so they could not tolerate such humiliation. They immediately quarreled with the rich man and wanted to sue the boss with the contract.
Dad is Servant No. 1: Dad is not afraid of them, but those local tycoons dress strangely, speak strangely, and have strange personalities. They don't look like decent people.
: It was an old man leading a group of people, and those kids called the old man "White Clan Leader". Don't you think it's strange? In this day and age, he is still the clan leader.
It can’t be... such a coincidence, right?
He Lun raised his head: "Bai Jie, where do you live?"
"Jiecheng on the west coast...right?" Bai Jie was stunned. "I lived there ten years ago. I haven't been in touch with my family for a long time. I don't know where they live now."
Xizhou is shaped like an "A" character, with numerous rivers, mountains and valleys. From south to north, three mountains and two rivers divide the entire land into two parts, east and west. The Jie City on the west bank is the gathering place of wizard families.
Their current location is at the protruding part in the upper right corner of the character "奥".
He Lun showed the chat records to Bai Jie.
They look strange, and they use the title "White Patriarch". No matter how you look at them, they look like the same kind.
Bai Jie also said: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
He also took out his cell phone, flipped through it, and found that he had deleted all his family members a long time ago.
There is a friend request from three days ago.
Application Note: I am Bai Anzhi. My father asked me to tell you that the Bai family has gone to seek refuge with the Xiao clan leader. We will convert to the religion of the Half-Dead. Please be informed.
The Xiao clan leader refers to Xiao Tien. The major clans are as bright as stars, and the Xiao clan is the only moon. Their hereditary identity card is [013 Balanced Will]
"Omniscient." Lin Li suddenly woke up from his sleepwalking state, "Xiao Tien, he is omniscient."
Pegana turned into a teacup dog and poked his head out of Gao Mengtang's pocket. The hair in front of his eyes was tied on the top of his head with a pink bow. "I met Xiao Tien, and he survived my attack."
Wei Wei: "He also has a 013 ID card?"
"Yes," Bai Jie said, "What's wrong?"
Wei Wei searched the honor roll for a long time: "Why don't I see him?"
Bai Jie: "Patriarch Xiao rarely enters dungeons. When he was active in dungeons, the Black Tower game only had a prototype of the testing period, and there was not even a clearance video. Few people in the outside world knew about him. What happened to the 013 ID card?"
"Yin Mingwu's ID card is [103 Soul Splitter]" Wei Wei took a puff of cigarette, "Don't think about them. He Lun, are you going to look for your parents?"
He Lun nodded: "My mother is a tough guy, I'm afraid she will cause trouble."
Gao Mengtang: "Let's go too."
They took a taxi to the port terminal. He Lun was worried about his parents and ran very fast, followed by Bai Jie. Seeing the group of people entangled, Bai Jie wailed.
They are really his family!
The people of the Bai family wore long black cloaks with dark jacquard patterns, long boots, knight pants, shirts and vests, looking like they had traveled from the magical world.
They glanced at Bai Jie indifferently, their eyes passed him and stopped on He Lun.
"Aren't you the blind man's little follower?" Bai Anzhi asked. He was tall and pale, and looked to be in his early 20s. He was not extremely handsome, but he had a very good temperament, which made his facial features look much better. His graceful movements and slow and emphasizing words when he spoke gave him a very aristocratic temperament.
He Lun was a game player. His parents and sister also knew something about the Black Tower. Seeing that these people looked strange and spoke in strange ways, they roughly guessed their identities.
They also know that Gao Mengtang is a top player in the Black Tower game.
"Yes, my son is Gao Mengtang's follower," He Lun's father pointed at the other person's nose, "Who do you think you are? Are you more powerful than Xiaotang?!"
There was a trace of fear on Bai Anzhi's face. He glanced at He Lun's father calmly, his eyes mocking her loud and rogue appearance.
After being given a cold glance by him, He Lun's father got angry and shouted even louder: "Son, go get those 0-level spare ribs and let them see them. Why are you showing off in front of us? Spare ribs, 0-level, have you seen them before?"
"Level 0, ancestral remains." He Lun reminded in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Bai Shu, the head of the Bai clan, couldn't help but blurt out, "Are there any rank 0 remains of our ancestors? Did Meng Tang give them to you?"
The highest quality ancestral remains that players can obtain are level 1. The smaller the level number of the item, the more precious it is. They have never heard of level 0 ancestral remains.
"Father, these people are not like you, who keep their word." Bai Anzhi said politely, "They are insignificant and their words are not taken seriously, so they dare to say anything."
This sentence was a roundabout way of scolding Gao Mengtang as well. Bai Jie couldn't bear it any longer: "It already existed, you just haven't seen it."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the whole audience was silent for a few seconds. Bai Anzhi laughed out loud, and several people followed him.
Bai Jie's face turned even redder and he lowered his head unconsciously.
"I'm late. What are you laughing at?" Gao Mengtang rushed up from behind, holding the Maltese version of The Source of Fear in his arms. "What's so funny? Pegana wants to hear it too, right?"
The little thing with a pink bow tied around its neck barked at the Bai family twice. A dozen eyes popped out from its soft long fur.
The source of fear!
The group of people suddenly became dumb, not daring to breathe. Their arrogant and calm expressions were replaced by fear.
Heron suddenly felt proud, walked over and rubbed Pegana's fur: "No way, no way, a wizard family is afraid of a ghost in the lake, even a dog?"
Bai Anzhi: “…”
Is that a dog? That is Pegana, the source of fear!
"Bai Jie, although you are not as strong as me, you are much stronger than the people in your family..." He Lun held Pegana with his head held high and stuffed her into Bai Jie's arms, "You are much stronger. At least you are not afraid of a dog. Right?"
Pegana: "Woof woof!"
"Tsk." Helun's sister Hei Yi also imitated Bai Anzhi's sarcastic smile. Helun and others immediately followed suit, laughing.
"Don't you want to see the remains of the Level 0 ancestor?" He Lun took out his bones and shook them in front of the Bai family.
The props that have been recognized by the system will automatically display the prop name above.
[Ancestral Remains (Level 0)] The words were written in large letters, so bright that they hurt the eyes.
He Lun stuffed the bone into Pegana's mouth: "I wouldn't even give it to you if I fed it to a dog!"
Bai An was so angry that his ears turned red and his jaw moved back and forth as he ground his teeth.
"You all came from afar, what's the important matter?" Gao Mengtang asked knowingly, "Could it be that you like this yacht?"
Bai Anzhi: "How dare we snatch something that Chief Gao likes? You have many tricks and you are the best at stealing other people's things, aren't you?"
He looked at Wei Wei, Duan Song, and Lin Li in turn, those who were pried over from other camps.
"Of course, whoever the leader likes belongs to the leader. He has the ability to do so." Duan Song said bluntly, "What about you guys, do you like this yacht? Take it away, you dare not, right? You are such a loser?"
Standing here would be boring. Bai Shu snorted, "Let's go and find another yacht."
After they walked away, Bai Jie was proud, and He Yi made faces at their backs.
He Lun opened the dog's mouth and said, "Where's the 0-level bone? You didn't really eat it, did you?!"
Those were the remains of a level 0 ancestor, and he himself was reluctant to eat them.
Pegana spat out the bone, and Xiaodou's eyes were full of contempt.
