Chapter 162 The Poisoned Ancient Town 7



"George." Lolita looked at George with envy, "How does the heir of the deaf taste? Is her tongue delicious?"

Hearing this question, greed flashed across Glutton's face. He turned his head to look at George, wanting to see the aftertaste of the exquisite delicacy from the other's face.

Even Gu Shu stopped what he was doing and listened carefully.

George smiled, and that smile had nothing to do with satisfaction and aftertaste, and even carried a strong sense of mockery. He leaned against a half-collapsed wall and used his middle finger to support his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes mocking with pity.

Qingshi, who had been working diligently in a wheelchair and had nothing to do with the matter, noticed something was wrong. "Are you sure George killed the heir of Deaf?"

"..."

This word awakened Lolita's expression, as if from the time George came back to now, he had never said that he had killed the heir of Deaf.

George had figured it out. Being a humiliating attending physician is better than not even being an attending physician, right? Under his sinister gaze, Lolita and Gushu's faces changed drastically.

At this time, they all heard footsteps.

Qingshi and Gluttony were the first to turn around and saw a man coming out from behind the small dirt slope.

It was indeed a man, a man in a white coat. Yu Xiao stopped and said with a warm smile: "Long time no see, how are you all?"

The smile on Gluttony's mouth widened, a smile of seeing a good show and taking pleasure in misfortune.

Qingshi's eyes swept over the faces of all the ghosts one by one, and then he stepped aside without saying a word. George had no expression, while Lolita and Gu Shu looked uglier than ever.

Lolita struggled to move her eyes away from Yu Xiao's face and stared at George, "You traitor!"

George raised his hand elegantly and stroked his hair. His posture looked like the most respected eldest son of a noble family, proud and reserved. He said, "Being a traitor is better than being a scapegoat, don't you think?"

Gu Shu pursed his thin lips tightly. He stared at Yu Xiao and thought to himself that if he killed Yu Xiao now, then even if he would be retaliated by the director, at least he would be in a good mood.

"Everyone, please calm down." Yu Xiao acted as if this matter had nothing to do with her. "We are all colleagues, why do we hate each other?"

Everyone looked at her. Yu Xiao pointed at her clothes and said, "I am also an employee of the hospital. I am not against you. I have never understood why you hate me so much."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Gu Shu's eyes turn red. Yu Xiao ignored his eyes and said, "Actually, I could report it to the director, but I didn't do it because I know that once the director knows what you did, you can no longer be the attending physician."

Gluttony felt something was wrong, "You want to let them go?"

"I am a living person." Yu Xiao said, "Living people have many good qualities, such as tolerance. It cannot be said that what happened in the past was my fault..."

Gu Shu's eyes twitched, and Yu Xiao immediately said, "...but I also have certain responsibilities. Today, right here, let us resolve the grievances of the past, okay? Let's be friends."

Lolita and Gu Shu looked at each other, and they had the same idea in their hearts. Living people are really sick. It is obviously a life-and-death relationship, but they still have to be tolerant?

But this is a good thing for them, otherwise Yu Xiao will call the director, and they can only be grassroots employees in the future.

Lolita held her hands together and nodded obediently, "Yes, okay, I'll listen to you, let's be friends."

Yu Xiao looked at Gu Shu, Gu Shu: "...Yes."

"What do you mean by yes?" Yu Xiao: "Do you agree or disagree?"

Gu Shu: "...Agree."

"Are you reluctant?" Yu Xiao stared at his face, "Your face looks so ugly, you don't even have a smile."

"..." Gu Shu was silent, then forced a smile.

"But, after all, you hurt me. Even if I don't care, can you live with your conscience?" Yu Xiao asked.

Lolita and Gu Shu had no expression on their faces, thinking that we have no conscience.

"I'm willing to give you a chance to make up for your mistakes." Yu Xiao asked, "How much do you know about my copy this time?"

Outside the collapsed temple, six people stood in front of the ruins, and Zhao Lan was calling Yu Xiao.

"Sorry, the user you dialed is out of service..."

The call didn't go through, but Zhao Lan was relieved. After all, being out of service is completely different from being turned off. Xiaoxiao is not in the service area, which means she is not in this copy. At that time, the temple suddenly collapsed, and Xiaoxiao might not be able to escape, so she used the white coat to escape to St. Elizabeth.

And the nightmare is in Xiaoxiao's backpack, so she should be fine.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Xiaozhen asked, "Can't get through?"

"Xiaoxiao should not be here..." Zhao Lan whispered to Zhou Xiaozhen.

"Someone came out." Wang Dongdong said on the side.

In the ruins ahead, a piece of stone was pushed up. A huge rock was overturned, and Yu Qinglang climbed out from it. He looked up at everyone and asked, "Did Yu Xiao come out?"

"No." Wang Dongdong went over to pull her.

At this time, the stone in another place was also lifted up, and Tang Xingyin climbed out. At this time, his Taoist robe was tattered, and even his Taoist bun was loose, his hair fell down, and he looked very unkempt.

He also glanced at everyone, and then frowned.

"Xiaoxiao should be fine." Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen went over to pull Tang Xingyin, and Tang Xingyin used both hands to jump out of the pile of stones.

Yu Qinglang wiped her face with her sleeve, and said as she wiped: "Meng Yan has been following Yu Xiao, Yu Xiao should be fine."

Zhao Lan nodded. She had been trapped in an illusion before. Although she had long realized that it was an illusion, she tried many methods but couldn't get out of the illusion. And Xiaoxiao was with Meng Yan, and Meng Yan was so strong, maybe Xiaoxiao would come out of the illusion soon.

She looked at the temple in front of her and thought that this might be Xiaoxiao's masterpiece.

But she still didn't understand a lot. According to her understanding of Xiaoxiao, after coming out of the illusion, she should have looked for other people as soon as possible. But Xiaoxiao didn't, which meant that something must have happened during this period, and it might have caused the collapse of the temple.

"Why doesn't she show up if she's fine?" Wang Dongdong asked blankly, "What should we do now?"

"Wait for Xiaoxiao here." Zhao Lan said, "Or we can do our task while waiting for Xiaoxiao."

None of them like to wait, but the clues of the mission have been cut off. They came here to find Zhang Xianren, but the temple collapsed. Where should they go to find Zhang Xianren?

"Don't worry." Yu Qinglang said, "This dungeon is not very big. Zhang Xianren will not run out of the dungeon."

Wang Dongdong nodded and said, "How about we split up to find him?"

Others had no objection. Tang Xingyin pointed at Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen, "You two come with me."

Zhao Lan understood what Tang Xingyin meant. Compared with the others, the two of them were still weaker. Tang Xingyin was worried about letting them act alone.

The eight people were divided into six groups. While walking on the road, Zhao Lan suddenly thought of something. Their previous ideas were not wrong. All the clues pointed to Zhang Xianren. As long as they found Zhang Xianren and pried open his mouth, the problem of this dungeon would be solved.

But she just thought of one thing. The reason why they chose this method is because they are strong. Their team is too strong. They are confident that they can defeat any ghost doctor, so they think that as long as they find Zhang Xianren, they can make Zhang Xianren tell them the truth. Because even if Zhang Xianren doesn't say it, they will beat Zhang Xianren until he tells it.

But the problem is that not all patients who enter this copy have their strength.

Any copy, no matter how difficult it is, is not impossible to complete. So in addition to finding Zhang Xianren and forcing Zhang Xianren to tell the truth, there must be other ways to pass this copy.

Zhao Lan thought of the different identities of the nine patients in the copy. If it was just a simple poisoning, why should they have different identities? Can't everyone be the same?

Zhao Lan raised his head, and Zhou Xiaozhen said, "I understand."

Tang Xingyin and Zhao Lan looked at her at the same time, and Zhou Xiaozhen said seriously, "I know how to find Immortal Zhang."

Zhao Lan: "Hurry up and tell me."

"The people in the temple said it before, and they said it more than once." Zhou Xiaozhen looked at the two of them with burning eyes, "Only the most devout believers can see Immortal Zhang."

Zhou Xiaozhen became excited as she spoke, "As long as we become the most devout believers, then can't we see Immortal Zhang?"

Tang Xingyin turned his head away, slightly raised his head and looked at the white clouds in the sky.

Zhao Lan had a complicated expression, but he mainly encouraged her. He patted Zhou Xiaozhen on the shoulder and said, "Your idea is right, but it's not feasible. Who among us do you think can become the most devout believer? We don't even know the name of that god."

Zhou Xiaozhen sighed, "Then this is the only way we can look for it?"

Zhao Lan thought for a while and asked, "Do you know the specific situation of your identity in this copy?"

"How should I know?" Zhou Xiaozhen said, "I was chased when I just got here."

Zhao Lan looked at Tang Xingyin, "Do you know?"

Tang Xingyin shook his head. Zhao Lan looked to the front and said, "Isn't that your Taoist temple in front?"

Compared with the prosperous temple, this Taoist temple can't be described as deserted. There were no pilgrims all day long. Without pilgrims, the temple had no source of income, and the Taoist priests could only make a living by farming. As time went on, people became panic-stricken.

Zhao Lan and the other two hid behind a large rock at the entrance of the temple and eavesdropped on the conversation of two Taoist priests sweeping the floor.

The short one sighed, holding the broom with one hand and rubbing the black spots on his face with the other. He said, "I can't live like this. I can't even feel full with vegetables every day. I really want to learn from Liu Dabao and become a gatekeeper in a temple. The temple is so popular. The last time I passed by the temple, I saw Liu Dabao wearing a black robe. He looked much more energetic than in the Taoist temple."

The tall one rolled his eyes, "Does the temple accept everyone? This is strange. Didn't Liu Dabao always want to become the abbot? Why did he suddenly turn to the temple?"

"Because he can't be the abbot." The short one whispered, "You know that the abbot likes Tang Xingyin the most. If Tang Xingyin hadn't been poisoned, the position of abbot would definitely have been Tang Xingyin..."

Hearing them mention Tang Xingyin, Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen looked at him at the same time. Tang Xingyin's eyes were dull and his face was expressionless.

They eavesdropped for a long time but didn't hear anything useful, but Zhao Lan was not discouraged. She said, "Let's go to the Yu family and ask about Xiaoxiao's identity."

The eldest daughter of the Yu family ran away after being poisoned. Although poisoning is a bad omen, the Yu family still sent people out to look for her, but the people who looked for her were not very attentive.

The servants who were looking for people were wandering around the deserted streets like street urchins, sometimes complaining about the sun, and sometimes chatting about what to eat in the evening.

At a corner, Tang Xingyin acted as fast as lightning, grabbed a servant by the collar and dragged him into the alley, covering his mouth fiercely.

The three of them dragged the servant away quickly, and when they reached a corner, Tang Xingyin let go of the servant who was full of fear. Zhao Lan glared at the servant fiercely, "Be honest! Answer whatever we ask!"

The servant nodded in panic.

Zhao Lan: "What's going on at home, Miss Yu? Has anything happened to the Yu family recently?"

After that, Zhou Xiaozhen began to twist the servant's fingers. The servant cried out in pain. Zhou Xiaozhen: "If you don't tell the truth, you will be severely punished!"

The servant burst into tears, thinking that I haven't said anything yet, and you have already started to punish me.

"The eldest girl is doing well at home." The servant said, "But today is not a good day. Today the eldest girl was poisoned."

"You are lying." Zhao Lan remembered that Yu Xiao said that everyone in the Yu family hated her. "Obviously everyone in the Yu family hates her."

"Yes, but not the old man." The servant said, "The old man wants the eldest girl to inherit the family property, so everyone hates her."

So that's the case? Zhao Lan: "Has anything happened to the Yu family recently?"

"Does the poisoning of the eldest girl count?" the servant asked cautiously.

"Not counting." Zhao Lan: "Is there anything else?"

"Hmm..." The servant thought for a moment and said, "The day before yesterday, the second young master went to the temple to become a believer. Does this count?" Zhao Lan

: "Why did he become a believer?"

The servant shook his head, "I don't know."

Zhao Lan: "Won't the family stop him?"

"Why would they stop him?" The servant looked proud, "Only the most devout believers can work in the temple. It's a great honor for a family to have a believer."

...

"It's a bit strange." After letting the servant go, Zhou Xiaozhen said, "It seems that some of us patients have become believers."

Zhao Lan seemed to have grasped something, "Everyone wants to be a believer, but only a few can become believers. And the identities of the believers before were also varied, and there were even Taoist priests among them. I feel that the believers in the temple before were already very pious, but they all failed to become believers. So, to become the most pious believer, there must be some conditions."

"I can tell you how to pass that copy." Gu Shu said to Yu Xiao, "But you want revenge, which may not be possible."

"Why?" Yu Xiao said, "I just want you to help beat up Qu Lian and the other ghost in red. Is it difficult?"

"Difficult." Lolita's beautiful emerald eyes were full of emeralds. "Beating Qu Lian is no problem, but the other one..."

Yu Xiao: "Is he strong?"

"Yeah." Lolita pouted and said, "Not only is it strong, if he doesn't want to see you, then no one can see him."
