Chapter 105 The Hundred and Fifth Star



A moment later, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing stood at the foot of Xinheju. They stared at the dark hill villa in amazement, wondering why there was no light in the bedroom on the second floor.

Mei Ru Z was clearly staying in the house, but the lights in the entire building were not on.

Tan Muxing was stunned: "Sister Ru Z has already rested?"

"No way..." Chu Qianli subconsciously calculated her fortune. She hurried upstairs and was about to knock on the door when she saw it slowly open, revealing a familiar face in the darkness.

"You're back?" Mei Ru Z breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them. She still held the stick in her hand, not knowing what she was guarding against.

Chu Qianli was curious: "Why isn't the light on?"

"Someone broke into the villa next door. I didn't want to alert anyone, so I didn't turn on the light." Meiru Z frowned. "It looks like everything is in good order. It's not an ordinary thief."

According to Meiru Z's description, after the two of them went to the cocktail party, she felt sleepy and didn't turn on the lights. She simply lay down by the window to rest, but she found suspicious people scouting nearby. She lay on her side on the second floor and didn't sit up, so she was not discovered by the people below. She observed the scene in the villa next door through the gap.

"I secretly recorded the video. I was worried that they would come here, but it seems that they are moving downwards."

Meiru Z took out her cell phone and showed the video to the two of them.

On the screen, a group of people wearing clothes made of special materials were looming in the darkness, and their facial features were completely invisible. They bypassed the surveillance point and swiftly climbed over the wall, climbing up the wall with the cover of dark trees. Their actions were very organized, and it was obvious that they were not security guards.

Meiru Z's shooting angle was limited, so she couldn't see what they did after entering the house, nor did she capture the direction they left. If she hadn't been lying by the window, she might not have seen the group of people at all. The whole action was so fast that it didn't even take a few minutes.

Tan Muxing: "These people have been trained."

Chu Qianli was shocked after watching the video. She subconsciously reached for the Tarot in her pocket and then looked through the compass in Muxing's bag to confirm that both keys were safe.

Meiru Z noticed her little action and said, "It's the same reaction as mine. I don't know where to put the broken bell now. I just checked the house again, fearing that there might be cameras or monitoring devices installed."

The actions of this group of night walkers frightened Meiru Z. She had just carefully divined and checked in the house, fearing that someone had sneaked in when they were not paying attention.

"They are probably not Monderson's men." Chu Qianli frowned, "They wouldn't want to cause trouble now."

Chu Qianli and Lin had just reached an agreement, and it was not time for a falling out. Even if Lin really wanted to snatch the keys from others, he should have headed straight to Xinheju instead of wandering around the villa area to search.

It's more like a third party investigating the situation.

Lin's private meeting made Chu Qianming realize one thing, that is, Mondsen only fully controlled two keys, and the remaining key owners might not have a unified opinion.

She now has a compass and a tarot card, Meiru Z has the Sanqing Bell, Xu Zaiyuan has the peach wood sword, and the whereabouts of the last item is still unknown.

"The key point now is that it's not safe here at all. We don't even know who to tell about this." Meiru Z said helplessly, "This week has been a mess. First, foreigners beat foreigners, then there was the house haunting incident, and now we see this group of people."

The three of them had been staying there for less than a week, but they encountered a lot of things.

Chu Qianli and others didn't know whether the Night Walker was an enemy or a friend, so they naturally fell into a state of uncertainty.

Logically, there were only candidates participating in the second round of screening in the villa area, but now a well-trained group with unknown origins appeared.

Chu Qianli informed Mei Ru Z of the private meeting with Lin, and then said: "No one who comes here to participate in the competition can be trusted, whether they are Chinese or foreigners. We should not figure out their identities until the last minute. Let's each take a key first, so that no one will be affected if something happens."

Since Lin was able to meet with them alone, he could also potentially bring others along.

"I'll send a message to Uncle Qi. They should be nearby and ready to respond to any situation." Tan Muxing contacted Uncle Qi via mobile phone, hoping that he would keep in touch with the police to prevent any accidents from happening in subsequent selections.

Inside the Xianhe Residence, Liu Jun said solemnly, "I have already reported to the higher-ups, but apart from the one in Meiru Z's hand, I am not sure where the remaining items are, and whether they are all controlled by Mondsen."

"If the remaining five are in their hands, it will be very difficult for us to negotiate with them. At first, they said they would negotiate after the selection, but now it looks like the situation is not good. In addition, the consulate has been making a lot of moves recently, and the situation is getting more and more complicated."

Liu Jun participated in the selection as a member of Qianmen. During the screening, he confronted Chu Ma Xian head-on. He looked like a Taoist priest who hated evil and hated evil, but actually he had another hidden identity.

He and Xu Zaiyuan came here on orders. If there were no special requests, Xu Gan would not let his disciple go down the mountain.

"It's impossible that they have all the remaining ones, otherwise they wouldn't be so anxious to suppress us. Other teams have been keeping a close eye on us recently. I guess someone is secretly instructing us to do so." Xu Zaiyuan said, "What about those three people?"

"Mei Ru Z really doesn't have many friends. She seems to have close contact with those two people. There are no breakthroughs in other places, but she has dealt with the Shi family before, and Shi Zhuoqu is Mondsen's man..." Liu Jun sighed, "The remaining two are still fresh graduates. They have had contact with the religious association before. We have already found the person in charge at that time to see if we can bring them to this side."

There are huge profits behind the babylite mines, so there is no guarantee that there will not be double-faced spies.

Liu Jun and others now dare not easily tell others the truth. They pay attention to the outstanding figures in the team and then investigate privately whether they can be trusted and recruited.

The next day, the selection started again and everyone gathered again in Tingfeng Xiyulou.

Lin on the stage held a special badge in his hand. He looked around with a friendly attitude and casually glanced at Chu Qianli and others.

Chu Qianli pretended not to notice. She turned her head and chatted with Tan Muxing and Mei Ruz, as if she had not received the huge deposit from them last night.

A noticed Lin's micro-expression, looked at Chu Qianli thoughtfully, and said regretfully: "I thought you would make a better choice."

A had already given some advice in advance, but Chu Qianli seemed to be hanging out with Lin, which made him feel a little disappointed.

Chu Qianli looked back at him. She didn't explain, but smiled and said, "Don't take it so seriously. Just treat it as a game."

A: "Is this a game?"

Chu Qianli nodded: "Yes."

"So what role are you in the game now?" A raised his eyebrows slightly, "Justice? Evil?"

Chu Qianli thought for a moment, she held her chin and said seriously: "If I have to say it, it should be a bug."

A: “?”

On the other hand, Shi Zhuoqu announced the rules on stage: "Thank you all for gathering here again. Considering the progress of subsequent projects, we have set up a special selection today. Simulated baby stones, candidate number plates and a special badge are placed in various locations in the building."

"Within the specified time, the candidate who collects the most simulated baby stones will receive a special badge. There is also a badge hidden in the building, for a total of two badges in this round of selection. In addition, we have placed all the candidate number plates in various places. If you find someone else's number plate and use it, you can exchange the number of simulated baby stones between the two parties, but the badge that has been found is not included in the exchange range."

Shi Zhuoqu took out a simulated baby stone and said, "This is the prop used in this round of selection. You can familiarize yourself with it in advance."

The simulated baby stones are actually uniquely designed red crystals, which are scattered around as scoring props for this round.

Each person will also receive a small bottle with the candidate's number plate number written on the bottle mouth. The electronic instrument on the bottle cap will automatically calculate the number of simulated baby stones in the bottle. If you find someone else's number plate, you can swipe the card on the bottle cap instrument and the two parties will exchange the number of baby stones in each other's bottle.

Meiru Z: "Then as long as we find the badge, we'll have already won half of the competition. After all, the badge cannot be replaced by anyone."

If someone worked hard to collect the simulated baby stones, but someone else used the license plate to exchange them, then it would be a waste of work. However, the special badges will not be exchanged, so as long as you find them, you will be completely safe.

"Then I must be looking for a badge." Chu Qianli immediately counted on his fingers, "If I take another one, I will have two."

"The search area is the Tingfengxiyu Building and its vicinity. We have set up railings at the edge of the examination room. Simulated baby stones placed in the bottle after the time is up will not be counted. Now the countdown officially begins!"

"So the more people there are, the faster we can collect stones?" Huang Jue said with a smile, "Then there are only three factions!"

Qianmen, Chumaxian and Qiao have the largest teams, so their collection efficiency is naturally extraordinary.

Lilith sighed: "Why bother with all that? I don't want to look for it anyway. As long as I can participate in the project, I'm not interested in badges."

Meiru Z: "I'll go find the stones, and you guys find the badges."

Chu Qianli kindly advised: "Sister Ru Z, don't take it so seriously, just treat it as a game."

Having said that, Chu Qianli still hurried out with Tan Muxing and searched for the special badge hidden outside according to the hexagram.

The sky is clear and the air is fresh, with light clouds and a gentle breeze.

There was no one on the hillside outside the listening wind and drizzle building, only lush bushes and tall trees.

Chu Qianli looked around according to the hexagram. She looked up at the sky from time to time and wondered, "Why does this hexagram point to the northwest in the sky, with many obstructions..."

Her divination speed has always been amazing. Now she wants to get the badge, so she rushes over without stopping. However, the location of the item she is looking for is really weird.

Tan Muxing accompanied her in the search. He had good eyesight and caught a glimpse of something glittering among the leaves. It disappeared in the blink of an eye and was barely visible in the wind under the forest shade. He hurriedly said, "Is that it? It's too far away, I can't see clearly."

There is a tall tree in the northwest of the hillside, and the badge seems to be suspended between the leaves.

"Let's go and have a look."

The two men set off immediately. They ran towards the big tree, but found another group of people halfway up the slope!

Xu Zaiyuan and others also discovered the two people.

Liu Jun was incredulous and said, "They are too fast."

Xu Zaiyuan's divination was extremely fast, but Chu Qianli and others were not much behind.

Xu Zaiyuan quickened his pace without saying a word and immediately ran towards the big tree in the northwest.

Chu Qianli saw that the situation was not good. She was afraid of being a step behind, so she hurriedly said, "Xingxing!"

Chu Qianli was not used to running on the hillside, and was not as fast as Xu Zaiyuan, who had been in the mountains all year round. She didn't want to fall behind, so she called her parents immediately.

Tan Muxing immediately understood and started to race with the other party!

The two sides rushed forward from the left and the right, and from the naked eye they looked evenly matched!

The Taoists were greatly astonished: "How could he run almost as fast as Junior Master?"

It was inconvenient for Xu Zaiyuan to go down the mountain, so he almost walked all over Qianshan Mountain. No one could match him in running fast on the mountain roads.

Chu Qianli put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Of course! Your mountain used to belong to someone else!"
