Li Rushi moved quickly. She cast a sound-hiding spell on her feet, so there was no sound under her feet.
Tianyi Sect has a method called the Earth Escape Technique. Li Rushi cast a spell, and every time she took a step forward, the land in front of her also moved forward a step.
Until you reach the blacksmith shop.
Li Rushi listened carefully and heard voices on the ground. She decided to go upstairs to see what was going on and to tell Yingxue Pug. She had something else to tell them.
There was a sound of water flowing in the land ahead. Li Rushi had investigated earlier and found that this town was not near mountains or water, which meant that there was no water vein in this place. So, it seemed that there should be a well in front of him.
She went forward a few inches, passed through the thick earth wall, and came to the dark bottom of the well. Inside was mud or something else, smelly and deep, with bones vaguely visible in the mud, and some scraps of clothing. Li Rushi took a look and was about to leave, but stopped.
The audience in Li Rushi's live broadcast room had already given her gifts when she used the earth escape technique. Some of them even shouted that they wanted to go to Tianyi Sect to learn from her. They questioned whether Li Rushi was putting on a show, but they could not provide any evidence to refute her. It was very lively, and the number of viewers had exceeded 100,000. Everyone was waiting for Li Rushi to show off, but suddenly they saw the anchor stop.
[What are you doing, Shield? Why aren't you moving forward? ]
[Brother Shield, please leave quickly. The bottom of the well is so dark and looks so dirty.]
[Oh my god, Brother Dun is really good at martial arts. How did he manage to hold on to the wall of the well without using his hands to hold on to it without falling down?]
[Stop talking. Didn’t you see that Brother Dun was frowning? He must have discovered something.]
Li Rushi did find something wrong. She expected that there would be bones at the bottom of the well, but somewhere three inches away from her, there was a bead made of cinnabar. It was the one that Yingxue had worn around her neck before.
Perhaps it should be said that it was worn by "Yang Qingyu".
Li Rushi bent down and wanted to pick up the cinnabar bead, but the string on the bead sank into the mud. Li Rushi pulled and actually pulled out a corpse from the mud.
It was a female corpse. She had been dead for more than a month. She was soaked in mud and her face was barely visible. She was very thin and short. Her whole body was swollen from the mud and water at the bottom of the well. It was hard to tell what position she was in. Only her right hand was resting lightly on her abdomen, as if she was protecting herself.
What to protect.
Li Rushi calculated with his fingers and found that water is yin, women are yin, and the fetus in the corpse's belly is also yin. In addition, the resentment is so heavy that it is likely that it will become a bardo body in a short time.
That would be a lot of trouble.
Li Ru wanted to liberate the dead souls, but was afraid that the noise would attract the townspeople, so he had to give up. However, before leaving, Li Ru used his spiritual power to cast a binding spell, hoping that it would be of some use.
After doing all this, the young man tiptoed and jumped out of the well in just two or three steps amid the cheers of the audience in the live broadcast room.
[My goodness, this well must be about 7 or 8 meters deep, and Brother Dun just jumped up like that? ]
[I feel like Little White Face might be my biggest misunderstanding of Shield Brother...]
[I am a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple. After seeing the moves that Brother Dun just performed, I can say for sure that Brother Dun is definitely a martial artist! ]
Of course, there were also some people who were flirting in the barrage, and they were scolded by the audience who were watching the live broadcast seriously, and they actually started quarreling with them.
It's just a battle between the cunning 0 and the steely straight man.
Li Rushi's eyebrows twitched, and she decided not to get involved in their fight. She had to speed up.
After a long time of arguing, the audience began to question Li Rushi when they saw that the main character did not respond. Unexpectedly, the young man said helplessly: "You are all right." This blocked the possibility of the audience finding fault.
Barrage: So funny, my brother Shield is truly a “master of balancing things”.
After the commotion, the live broadcast room became even more popular. The audience on Li Rushi's side was more loyal. In addition, the host was agile, quiet, and had outstanding looks. Therefore, some people who were recommended by their friends to watch the live broadcast did not choose to quit.
They soon discovered that their choice was right.
-------
Blacksmith shop.
The atmosphere in the room at this moment was not good.
Silence was broken. Yingxue and Parker were novices. Kerry said nothing. Kurokawa looked left and right but couldn't think of a way to pass the level.
It's all Xuanzhi's fault. Why did he anger the NPC at that time? Isn't this looking for trouble? I don't know where this person is now.
If they were left here to be watched by those townspeople, they might be eaten tomorrow.
Heichuan sighed, looked at this pile of annoying tasks, and whispered: "Who can say something, what should we do now? Xuanzhi has run away, should we run too?"
Pug shook his head. The middle-aged woman in his body also had a serious look on her face. "We can't run away. There are at least four townspeople guarding the gate of Yangjia Town. We can't defeat them at all."
Yingxue looked at Kurokawa, then at Pug, and pursed her lips: "If you want to leave, go ahead. I'm going to wait here for Xuanzhi to come back. He will definitely not abandon us..."
"It's already this time? You still believe him? Didn't you see that he ran away today?" Heichuan said angrily, "Don't you just feel that no one is protecting you? I've wanted to say this for a long time, why would someone like you who knows nothing but wants to hold others back enter this game? What, you just stick to Xuanzhi because he's capable, right? You might as well find a rich man to marry in the real world. You're just sucking blood anyway, so sucking the blood of rich people is great!"
Yingxue clenched her fists tightly and stood up suddenly: "I am not, I just want to make money by my own strength, what's wrong with me?"
Heichuan snorted coldly: "It's okay to want to rely on yourself, but wishful thinking will only lead to death! If it weren't for Xuanzhi, you wouldn't have survived last night. Do you know how difficult it was for Kerry and I to fight that black shadow? You don't know, because Xuanzhi will take care of it, so you just need to follow him, right?"
[Kurokawa is jealous, isn't he? Saying this about a girl...]
[But what they said is true. If you need money, wouldn't it be better to marry a rich man? Why bother entering the game and suffering like this? ]
[In fact, I can understand Yingxue. If getting married means she doesn't need to work hard anymore, she might still want to rely on her own strength, even if she dies in the game.]
[Does the person above know that being bad at escape games is a sin? It’s ok to be bad at it yourself, but you can’t drag down other players, right? ]
[Please clarify, who is this little girl dragging down? ]
Just as everyone was arguing and the atmosphere in the room had reached freezing point, the door of the blacksmith shop was pushed open and a young man in black slowly walked in.
"I'm back."
The comments of the six players began to scroll in real time, most of them asking why Li Rushi took so long to come back. Li Rushi walked in front of Yingxue, looked at the girl's red eyes with tears, and reached out his hand to pat her shoulder.
Looking at the embarrassed Kurokawa and the excited Pug, Li Rushi raised his hand, indicating that he had something to say.
"I deliberately angered the townspeople this morning at the altar in order to buy more time. If the townspeople continue to launch surprise attacks on us like they did last night, we will have to guard our home all night without any rest. If this continues, it won't be long before we don't have the strength to fight the NPCs anymore."
"So let the townspeople come and catch me. I am still confident that I can escape. As for you, you need to do something while the townspeople are searching door to door."
Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken, Kerry, who had been silent, spoke up: "What do you need us to do?"
The body that Kerry possessed was the owner of the coffin shop, Yang Yong, who was in his forties and had an ordinary appearance. He was the kind that you wouldn't find in a crowd. At this time, the man raised his head slightly, looked up at Li Rushi, and repeated again: "What can we do?"
Li Rushi smiled softly, "It's not difficult. I will give you some powder tomorrow. I need you to sprinkle it on the white water outside the townspeople's houses. The other thing is, while the townspeople are searching, look around to see if there are any of your bodies."
Yingxue opened her eyes wide: "Xuanzhi, you mean, we are all dead?"
Li Rushi nodded: "There is no one alive in the whole town." She looked at Yingxue: "I have found your body. It is under the well behind the house."
"Yang Qingyu, sixteen years old, was three months pregnant when she jumped into a well and died. She was abused before her death, and there are signs of wear and tear on her bones. On her body was the cinnabar bead you are wearing now."
[Brother Shield is amazing, how do you know the age? How do you tell if there are any injuries from abuse? ]
[I now reasonably suspect that Shield Brother is actually a policeman or a soldier? ]
[Have you read too many novels above? Actually, this way of death is easy to judge. If you throw yourself into a well, your feet will hit the ground, and if you are thrown down, your head will hit the ground. Your neck must be broken. You can also estimate your age by the state of your bones, right? ]
[Can you please stop using the God's perspective? It's so dark at the bottom of the well, what can you see? Or is it that Shield Brother is really awesome! ]
The audience was still discussing enthusiastically here, and Li Rushi was explaining it to Sakurayuki, Kurokawa and others. Suddenly, the room went dark, and Li Rushi felt something was wrong. She turned her head and looked at the window frame.
The sun sets and it is getting dark soon. This is a good time for ghosts to come out and kill.
Li Rushi made a prompt decision: "The townspeople will not attack you tonight, so you should behave yourself and stay at home until tomorrow morning. No excuses are allowed, understand?"
Pug said naively, "I understand, Brother Shield. The Monkey God of your country told his master not to leave the circle, but the master didn't listen and was captured by the monster, right?"
Li Rushi nodded and was about to give some more instructions when she heard something coming through the wind at an extremely fast speed, aiming directly at her throat.
The young man's eyes flashed, his fingers moved faster, and he raised his hand to catch the flying object.
——It’s a paper figure.
Almost instantly, the blacksmith's house was completely surrounded by paper people, and they began to attack, some breaking in through the windows, some sliding down the chimney, and some floating in through the cracks in the door.
There was no light in the room.
