【1. The Zhao family has many rules and strict rules. All the heirs and servants of the Zhao family must stay in the courtyard after nightfall and are not allowed to leave the Zhao mansion. 】
2. There will be a sunny doll hanging under the eaves of every house in the Zhao Mansion. If you see a house without a sunny doll hanging, please don't approach it. 】
【3. The expressions of Sunny Dolls are all smiling faces. If you see Sunny Dolls with other expressions, please escape immediately to a house with normal Sunny Dolls. 】
【4. Do not approach water sources at night. 】
【5. If you hear an unusual voice speaking, please ignore the content and inform Butler Zhao immediately during the day of the next day. 】
6. Don't stay outside the room for too long, something will spot you. 】
【The Zhao family rules are directly transferred from the Zhao family rules by the system. They are conclusions drawn from the experience accumulated by the people of the Zhao family. However, they are also traps. Deducers are asked to make their own judgments. 】
There are six rules in total. They appeared on the system panel as soon as Yu Xing stepped into the Zhao Mansion, indicating that these rules have begun to take effect.
At the same time, there is a special tip.
【In Zhao Fuzhong, the indoor part of Fengtou Town's nighttime rules is still in effect. 】
Yu Xing blinked. In other words, Zhao Mansion cannot block any rules from Fengtou Town, and more restrictions and dangers have been imposed on it.
This is obviously being targeted.
It's hard to say what was being targeted, but it probably had something to do with the reason for the formation of the rules. In short, since he had such special treatment, it proved that his previous idea was not wrong.
The Zhao Mansion must have done something bad, or there must be some special items hidden in the house.
He is ready to turn over the entire Zhao Mansion.
As for the system, these rules come from the Zhao family rules. There may be traps. You don't have to think about it. You know it. It should be the last sentence of rule five.
There is no rule given by the weird world that mentions a specific person.
Since these rules are imposing more shackles on everyone in the Zhao Mansion, it seems very ridiculous that Rule 5 requires the Zhao Mansion to inform Butler Zhao of the abnormality.
This sentence should have been added artificially.
Yu Xing is an outsider, so he can see clearly, but the aborigines of the Zhao family are different. This sentence is written in the family rules, and they probably don't feel any violation.
In addition, he was also a little curious. According to Rule 1, wouldn't it mean that Zhao Huaisheng, Zhao Zhan and Zhao Dongxue would be restricted in the Zhao Mansion and would not be able to go out to explore at night?
He knew that they would definitely use their own means to leave the Zhao Mansion, but since the rules were laid out here, it meant that if they wanted to leave the Zhao Mansion, they would be in greater danger than others.
In the world of theater, only the sedan girl played by the siren is subject to such restrictions.
Yu Xing thought as he walked forward.
He was alone in the courtyard now. With only his naked eyes, he could see that the Zhao Mansion, like the Song Mansion, had many ground lamps lit in the courtyard, so that there would be lights at regular intervals.
So far, there is no rule that explains why these floor lamps are highlighted.
Yu Xing easily avoided the ground lamp, passed through the first courtyard with little information, expanded his senses, and explored each house.
Very unexpectedly, he collided with another person's breath almost instantly. When the breath met him, he was stunned for a moment, and then sent out a friendly signal.
The aura is peaceful, and it is also covering the outside with the purpose of exploration. Among the four deducers in the Zhao family, only Luo Yan is like this - with the previous companionship and contact under Yejiang, Yu Xing has a deep understanding of Luo Yan's aura. No longer unfamiliar.
Yu Xing immediately followed the breath and rushed over.
The two met in the small garden.
“Why are you here?” Luo Yan looked at him from behind the rockery, obviously surprised.
Yu Xing looked at him in the moonlight.
Luo Yan no longer dressed up like a wealthy family, but found out from somewhere a short shirt that was easy to move around, similar to the clothes worn by the servants in these mansions.
When he didn't come, Luo Yan should be doing something with a clear goal.
"I came from Song Mansion. I wanted to meet you and exchange information with you. Why, I seem to have disturbed you?" He leaned against the rockery, his figure was lazy and his smile was calm, as if they were not in danger. The Song Mansion was doing deductions, but they were chatting at the resort.
Luo Yan looked at his smile and felt dazed for a moment.
Had he not been sure that he had recognized the wrong person, it would have been difficult for him to connect the smiling young man in front of him with the impatient "mountain monster" from before.
How can I describe this feeling? It's like raising a hedgehog that has been pricked by thorns. As a result, the hedgehog went out for a walk and came back transformed into a fluffy kitten. Suddenly, the **** were not at all.
Although this is just an illusion, a cat's claws are still sharp, even much more vicious than a hedgehog.
He murmured unconsciously: "You have changed so much."
“Huh?” Yu Xing raised his eyebrows.
Luo Yan had no reluctance to mention the past. On the contrary, he was really too curious about what happened back then, and reminded him concisely: "Compared with more than ten years ago."
"More than ten years ago?" Yu Xing thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You remember it."
This kid has a really good memory.
“Well, that matter has troubled me for a long time. I didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances.” A happy smile broke out on Luo Yan's face.
At that time, he was still an immature young man. Although he practiced seriously every day and had great talent, he still had no enlightenment.
Most ghost exorcism tasks are just homework for him. He has seen a lot of resentment and pain of ghosts, and also a lot of innocent sorrow of living people, but after all, he is a bystander.
He has always told himself that he doesn't need to worry too much, he just needs to do the things assigned by his master.
Because he believed that he was not old enough to sort out right from wrong and distinguish right from wrong. If personal feelings affected his judgment and took measures, not only would he be responsible for the consequences, but he would also definitely disappoint his master.
But the appearance of Yu Xing was an accident among accidents.
After experiencing the experience of bringing something that looked like a ghost into a Taoist temple room, Luo Yan suddenly became enlightened and was willing to get in touch with more individual ghosts outside of the mission, and developed a strange desire to win.
He thought that as long as he was willing to understand the mission objectives, he could truly distinguish right from wrong in an incident and make his own judgment.
Maybe you will make a mistake in judgment, but there is still a master who knows the truth.
It is with this idea in mind that Luo Yan's abilities soared after that. He entered the deduction system before he was eighteen years old. Today, he has achieved his current achievements and status.
So in Luo Yan's heart, although he knew that what happened that day was just a small episode for the "ghost", it had a particularly profound impact on him.
He was grateful.
…Some even look forward to the "ghost" that they met.
Because the other person is really special.
Of course, Luo Yan also thought that the other person was actually a human being, and leaving the letter was just a bad joke to make him think wildly and mock him for being nosy.
But so what? If there really was such a person, Luo Yan would definitely be curious about this person and want to get to know him.
Yesterday, under the water in the stage world, due to the urgent danger, Luo Yan didn't have time to react when he suddenly realized that Yu Xing was the person. After falling asleep for a while, another day passed, but he came back to his senses. After realizing it, I felt a little excited.
Memory can be polished, allowing an existence with special meaning to occupy an increasingly important position in the mind.
Through these years, Luo Yan has repeatedly thought about what happened back then, which has led Luo Yan to pay more and more attention to it and become more and more persistent. At this time, he feels like chasing stars and achieving results.
When he looked at Yu Xing, his mind was slightly confused, but his eyes became more sincere. Even Yu Xing was stunned by his appearance.
Yu Xing murmured in his heart, he really paid no attention to the child with a cold face at that time, instead of enthusiastically accepting the help and teaching the child something, right?
Why are you looking at him like this?
"Although I recognize you, in the final analysis, we don't have much friendship. The look in your eyes makes my skin crawl." He simply said to Luo Yan, "Calm down."
"Ah, I'm sorry." When Luo Yan heard this, he realized that it was rude to stare at people like this, so he apologized subconsciously, and then explained seriously, "It's not that we don't have much friendship, that day was really important to me!"
In the live broadcast room, everyone was asking questions while listening to the barrage of the two of them playing charades.
【What's the meaning? Did they know each other more than ten years ago? 】
【Luo Yan is the current strongest member of the Luo family after all, why does he feel so fishy? He has never smiled like this in front of his family. Hey, he won't learn from Zhao Mou, and will eventually defect from the family and follow Yu Xing. 】
uluo Jue: Who is upstairs? Just wait, I will check you again. My brother Luo Yan has always been so friendly. Are you from my Luo family? Do you know what he is like in the Luo family? 】
Because this deduction involves both the Zhao family and Zhao Mou and Zhao Yijiu, there are too many people who want to fish in troubled waters. They plan to watch the excitement, but at the same time they want to muddy the waters and bring benefits to their own forces.
Similarly, there are many people who want to take advantage of the conflicts between the Zhao family and try to trick the Luo family.
However, the Luo family has always been unconventional. Those who can be named are all weird and out of the ordinary. This method of alienation seems to be completely ineffective.
Some barrages quietly fell silent, and more people paid attention to the current situation.
【Speaking of which, I'm from Yu Xing's live broadcast room. Can anyone tell me why Luo Yan is still in the Zhao Mansion of Zhao Mansion after more than two hours? 】
I am from Luo Yan's live broadcast room. Can anyone tell me why Yu Xing arrived so quickly? Did he fly here? 】
When the two sides were combined, I suddenly felt that something was not right.
Why do people in each live broadcast room seem to think that the other party's speed is not consistent with normal conditions?
Fortunately, there were still people running around in various live broadcast rooms who jumped out and gave answers.
[Zhao Mansion is such a special place. Didn't they update eighteen rules after eight o'clock? Fengtou Town's twelve rules plus Zhao Mansion's six rules. Then something else happened. Their family had a servant who worked in the kitchen. It was for the chef, but after the rules came out, he suddenly went crazy for some reason. 】
[The servant was crazy. He kept saying there was a thief and almost kicked open the door of Mr. Zhao's room. Mrs. Zhao was so frightened that Mr. Zhao called people and **** the servant first, and then wanted to find out what happened. Something happened. 】
【There is still such a thing, what happens next? What happens next? 】
【Later, there was not much movement at first, but Mr. Zhao seemed to suddenly think of something and became very angry. He summoned everyone in the family, identified their faces one by one, and said that someone had sneaked in, and he was cursing. 】
[At that time, the four deducers here were forced to assemble. I saw it in Zhao Dongxue's live broadcast room. Mr. Zhao's eyes were so scary that he even stared at the three "sons and daughters" and asked questions. , thanks to their quick response, otherwise the secret would have been exposed. 】
【This matter has been going on for more than an hour, and I just let him go back to his room not long ago. I thought it was weird and didn't understand much. 】
I thought that after the rules came out, all the players would encounter such emergencies. It was a fixed plot on the first night. Didn't Yu Xing not have one? 】
【No, fortunately, Yu and the others did not encounter any big plot in the Song Mansion, and they parted ways very quickly. No wonder, I also said, how could Luo Yan be so inefficient, and he is still in the Zhao Mansion now. 】
The barrage was half-understood, and after Yu Xing accepted Luo Yan's sincere and serious thanks inexplicably, he forcibly stopped the other party's intention to inquire about his identity, and changed the topic to business.
If Luo Yan is so persistent about whether he is a human, a ghost or a monster, you can come to him again during the day.
At this time, they were standing behind the rockery that benefited the small garden. Not far away was a pond. It could be said that they were vaguely violating the two rules of not going near the water source and not staying outside the room for too long.
Although Luo Yan didn't seem anxious and didn't think it was troublesome, Yu Xing wanted to know the reason and get relevant information.
After being ruthlessly interrupted by Yu Xing, Luo Yan couldn't help but take a breath when he saw Yu Xing's slightly impatient expression but no sign of losing his temper.
This expression is right!
Of course, he knew the priorities best. Although he was still a little excited, he also called Yu Xing to take a few steps to the corridor. The corridor was close to the courtyard wall of the Zhao Mansion and far away from the house, which could ensure their conversation. It won't be heard by some Zhao family members who are not asleep yet.
"It's like this. I have already found out during the day that the Zhao family, as the richest merchant family in Fengtou Town, has close ties with the government and has a very long hand in business, with connections almost everywhere."
When talking about business, Luo Yan's face became slightly serious and returned to his usual gentle and dignified appearance.
"But the connections in the Zhao family are not entirely obtained through business cooperation and relying on the government. On the contrary, I found that Mr. Zhao has close private contacts with several other powerful families in Fengtou Town. I stole a few The letter contains a record of Mr. Zhao threatening the other party to give up profits. If the other party was unwilling, Mr. Zhao said—"
“Don't forget who your son lives on.”
oh?
Yu Xing was indeed interested in this. He asked: "Which company is Mr. Zhao talking to?"
Luo Yan said: "The Sun family operates a relatively complex business. They own a whole street of shops in Fengtou Town, so they have a very high say."
Sun family…
Yu Xing thought that there seemed to be no important clues related to the Sun family at present, but if what Luo Yan said was true, did the son of the head of the Sun family survive because of Mr. Zhao?
Is it because of incurable diseases or...
"Except the Sun family, the Song family, Qian family, and Li family all have similar correspondence with Mr. Zhao. The content of the letters is relatively small. I guess it is because they meet directly more frequently." Luo Yan said.
“These families obviously have a common secret. I suspect that their secret is related to the night-time changes in Fengtou Town, so I'm looking into that.”
After hearing this, Yu Xing couldn't help but think of his hidden mission.
His hidden mission, Soul Seizing, mentioned the conspiracy in the dark corner of the town, and the implementation of a big conspiracy is often inseparable from these wealthy and powerful people.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to support alone, without financial resources, and no matter how big the conspiracy is, it will not be carried out.
Moreover, no matter how chaotic Fengtou Town is, there should be only one big conspiracy in the dark. He suspects that the secrets shared by these wealthy businessmen and his hidden mission are going in the same direction.
Luo Yan's entry point is completely different from his, but they may reach the same goal by different paths, but the clues Luo Yan has are not enough to directly start the hidden mission.
"This is just my personal investigation direction. Since you are here, I want to tell you about the anomalies in the Zhao Mansion itself." Luo Yan was still typing. He seemed to have no intention of hiding his gains from Yu Xing, and wanted to share all the findings with you. Give them all to Yu Xing.
He said: "Zhao Mansion has a close relationship with Ye Jiang, and is the type that Ye Jiang hates."
Next, he turned the topic back to the rules of the Zhao family.
There are Sunny Day Dolls hanging everywhere in the Zhao Mansion. It is said that an expert arranged them bit by bit after checking the Feng Shui for this big house. For this Sunny Day Doll Array, Mr. Zhao even spent a lot of money to modify the structure of the already built house. The layout resulted in the current renovated Zhao Mansion.
The meaning of the sunny doll is self-evident, it is to pray for good weather after the rain.
Luo Yan said that in the array of sunny dolls in the Zhao Mansion, the concept of "sunny" is taken to an extreme by the dolls themselves, which represent "forbidden rain and forbidden water".
The Zhao family seems to be particularly afraid of a kind of ghost that is dripping with water. When it is dark, the servants will show fear on their faces and murmur a few words, "Will the water corpse come today?"
During the day, Luo Yan also asked the servants of the Zhao family about whether there were any rumors about anything happening in the Zhao mansion. The servants at that time were completely clueless, as if they really didn't know if any strange deaths had happened in the Zhao mansion.
But at night, the servant's memory seemed to be opened. He took the opportunity to question the same servants again, and this time he got a lot more information.
The servant was forced to come out of the room at that time. He was very scared. When he answered his questions, he was trembling. He said that the Zhao family was really evil and would drown people after a while. He was suppressed by Mr. Zhao again. What was even weirder Yes, it won't take long for these servants to forget about the dead, as if they were possessed by evil spirits.
About the "water corpse" thing, Luo Yan only learned about it at this time.
"Drown? Water corpse? Do you think this kind of 'water corpse' is directly related to Yejiang, and are you taking revenge against the Zhao family?" Yu Xing interrupted the question at the right time.
He had just heard about this kind of ghost at Xiao Yulan's place, and had judged that if he wanted to avoid being targeted by such a ghost that could enter the house directly, he must light a lantern outside the yard. But the Zhao Mansion also lit lanterns, but this protective measure failed.
There must be other factors involved, but there is no need to think about it for now - Yu Xing has already understood the origin of Sunny Baby from Luo Yan's few words.
Because I don't want “water”, I have to use the Sunny Baby to expel water-related concepts from my house.
Ordinary dolls certainly don't have such strong power, but special formations can do it. Yu Xing couldn't help but think of the bone bell formation in the backyard of Yizhuang in the stage world.
"Expert", could it be the master of all kinds? Because the waiter at the restaurant mentioned that many wealthy businessmen would ask Master Wanban some questions when Master Feng celebrates his birthday.
If Mr. Zhao asked Master Wanban for this formation in order to save his life, the logic of cause and effect would be reasonable.
"That's right." Luo Yan said, his eyes falling on the eaves of the nearest room.
A small pale Sunny Day doll hangs on it. As the wind blows, it will sway around and around. The side with the expression painted on it is like the face of the Sunny Day doll. When you look closely, , there will be a feeling that the sunny day doll is turning its head.
Very evil nature.
At this time, the Sunny Girl happened to be facing the two people who were plotting in the corridor.
The crooked smile makes people shudder.
"Before eight o'clock, the deducer in the Zhao Mansion received a mission to go to the kitchen to find food." He looked at the doll, with condensation in his eyes, "At that time, I felt that the sight of these dolls was like reality. It's like they're really watching."
“But I soon discovered that Sunny Baby's sight was not directed at us, or rather, it was not just directed at us.”
While doing the task of finding food, Luo Yan carefully avoided the sight of all Sunny Day dolls from beginning to end, and used some tricks to avoid the ones that could not be avoided.
He is quite accomplished in formations. After completing the task, he has basically figured out the role of the Sunny Baby.
"This formation is really powerful. Not only can it make the Sunny Doll's wishing concept compulsory, suppress the 'water corpse' so that it cannot kill people as it pleases, it can also use the Sunny Doll to observe ghosts, but only for water corpses. Luo Yan blinked, and in the darkness, the sunny doll facing them seemed to blink too.
“If a water corpse appears nearby, or has locked a certain house and is about to appear, the Sunny Day Doll's expression will change to a crying face.”
"If someone finds that the Sunny Day doll is missing somewhere, it means that a very powerful water corpse is here and the doll cannot be suppressed. At this time, you have to run away quickly and go to other dolls. If you come a few more times, the powerful water corpse will also appear. I may not be willing to chase people again.”
It is precisely because of the existence of this large formation that the Zhao Mansion can barely maintain the frequency of one person dying every two or three days, and all of them are servants.
After Yu Xing listened, he found that the rules of Zhao Mansion were much simpler than those of Fengtou Town. There were basically no errors. At least the two rules related to Sunny Day Baby could really save people's lives.
Luo Yan said it in such detail. It would be impossible to draw these conclusions without personal experience.
It seems that Luo Yan had a very fulfilling two hours in Zhao Mansion.
Yu Xing praised, and Luo Yan suddenly laughed and said: "It's not that I was chased, it's probably because I'm not from the Zhao family, and my hatred value is not as high as theirs. When the water corpse came, it went straight to Zhao Zhan."
Then he watched all the way.
He felt that there must be one unlucky person among himself or the three members of the Zhao family, or in other words, this bad luck was the result of the joint efforts of the four of them—
In order to complete the task, they went to the kitchen one by one to steal food and feed themselves. He did not believe that the servant who helped in the kitchen during the day suddenly went crazy and shouted that he was a thief. It had nothing to do with them.
It was they who caused the servant's madness, which caused Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao's room to be almost broken open, which led to Master Zhao trying to catch the outsiders who had sneaked into the house.
Obviously the family rules mentioned that you cannot stay outside the room for a long time, but Mr. Zhao seemed to ignore everything. He would rather violate the family rules and take the risk than catch the mice in the house.
As a result, their gathering led to the appearance of a large number of water corpses. After Mr. Zhao announced his disbandment, the entire Zhao Mansion began to swarm with ghosts, which lasted for more than half an hour and stopped not long ago.
Without this incident, Luo Yan would not have seen Zhao Zhan being chased by the water corpse, and would not have been able to collect precise information about the Sunny Baby and the water corpse.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan wanted to laugh a little.
—At that time, other members of the Zhao family were being chased, and several of them came out of their rooms, running around like a nest of busy ants. With Master Zhao's experience in catching "rats", Zhao Zhan couldn't let the Zhao family find out that he was not himself. He just didn't resist openly and acted like an ordinary person under the threat of water corpses.
If it is said that he had no friendship with the current younger generation of the Zhao family before, and he did not agree with the way the Zhao family cultivates talents, so he also stayed away from the results of training, then...
Now, after learning about Yu Xing's identity, the balance in his heart immediately tilted towards Zhao Mou, who was a teammate of Yu Xing.
Recalling Zhao Zhan's misfortune, he felt a sense of schadenfreude.
This is rare in the upright and gentle Luo Yan.
After laughing, Luo Yan also told Yu Xing about the matter, from the task of stealing food, to the servant going crazy, to Mr. Zhao gathering everyone, to the final water corpse attack.
Yu Xingzai listened carefully and felt more and more that Mr. Zhao knew a lot. As soon as the kitchen was stolen, he knew that an outsider had sneaked in. Not only did he summon everyone to check for unfamiliar faces, but even familiar faces were questioned.
The interrogation is not about who is eating secretly, nor is it about someone eating in and out secretly to do bad things. The questions asked are obviously to confirm whether these people are themselves!
It shows that in Mr. Zhao's understanding, there is a type of outsider who can look like a member of his family, even the children he is most familiar with.
Is the "rat" in Mr. Zhao's heart a ghost, or a strange person in Fengtou Town?
Yu Xing thought of the young man who slipped away from his hands again.
Dirty things are often called rats, which means they cannot be seen in the light. Mr. Zhao calls outsiders who sneak into the house rats, and he is obviously very afraid of them.
By coincidence, the boy's ability was related to rats. Yu Xing naturally knew that the rats that Mr. Zhao wanted to catch were actually the four deducers who stole food, but this did not prevent him from thinking of the boy.
I wonder if that young man can change his appearance?
Or more sinisterly—will you wear someone else's skin? Even if this young man didn't know how to do it, he should have at least heard of it, otherwise he wouldn't have believed it without any doubt when he claimed to be a fox demon with a dart's scalp.
Things beyond cognition are not so easy to accept unless you have really seen them.
Yu Xing had more and more information in his mind, and several pieces were gradually connected together.
He raised his head and looked at Luo Yan, who had explained everything: "What were you preparing to do before I came? Also, where did the other three people go?"
"Oh, I want to record all the details of the arrangement of the Sunny Dolls Formation. I will spend time thinking about it tomorrow, and maybe I can find out the relevant formation schools." Luo Yan said, "But don't rush this matter, you can do it Well, naturally I'll exchange information with you first.”
It is said that it is an exchange of information, but up to now he has been responsible for it alone. Yu Xing has not said anything yet, and he does not seem to be planning to ask.
"As for those three people, Zhao Dongxue plans to test the sleeping rules tonight, and they should sleep in the room now; Zhao Zhan and Zhao Huaisheng discovered that as long as they leave the house in Zhao Mansion, they will inevitably attract the attention and attack of ghosts, especially water. Zombie, so I simply left, because the water corpse will only move indoors, and I can get rid of it if I leave Zhao Mansion. "
After speaking, Luo Yan blinked: "Do you have any ideas? Do you need my help?"
It was too obvious that he was giving away money for nothing. Yu Xing pressed his temples and thought to himself, what kind of mental journey has Luo Yan experienced in the past ten years?
It was clearly the other party who "rescued" him back then. Even if Luo Yan was clear-headed and didn't think it was a favor, it wouldn't be the other way around, as if it was him who saved Luo Yan.
As for how fond of him he is?
“First, let me share with you the information I got, and then I'll talk about other things.” Yu Xing sighed.
He is indeed better at dealing with some itchy children, and there is no psychological burden at all when he beats them up or deceives them. This kind of good behavior makes him unable to bear to take too many advantages.
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Xing told Luo Yan everything except Xiao Yulan and Li Huaihua and the young man he met.
He thought that after all, Luo Yan had never left the Zhao Mansion, so it was inevitable that he had no idea about the outdoor rules.
What he learned, including the types of ghosts, their appearance patterns, response methods, and the authenticity of the rules, was all information that he could get sooner or later. He gave it to Luo Yan, just to save him some time in investigating it himself.
Luo Yan, the chief of the Luo family, looked extremely serious when listening to the lecture.
The audience in the live broadcast room watched for a long time and finally realized where the sense of dissonance came from.
Luo Yan has the highest qualifications among his peers. Although he is gentle, he always has a kind of leadership that cannot be ignored, which makes people subconsciously convinced.
But in front of Yu Xing, the attitude he showed was clearly his attitude towards his elders!
The Luo family saw it very clearly. Luo Yan had always respected his master and all his uncles, uncles, and wives. Now, he subconsciously showed the same attitude towards Yu Xing.
How strange, the Luo family thought.
With their quick thinking, they quickly came up with many speculations - Could it be that Yu Xing was very old, about the same age as their master, and that Senior Brother Luo Yan was respecting his elders?
Could it be that Yu Xing also taught senior brother Luo Yan when he was a child, and senior brother Luo Yan just recognized him?
Could it be that Yu Xing is an old monster, a friend of the master, who hugged senior brother Luo Yan when he was a child?
Only a small group of people who know Luo Yan best secretly gave Luo Yan a thumbs up.
【Senior Brother Luo Yan's rank is still so high. 】
other people:【? ? ? 】
【What is high? Where is Gao? 】
On the screen, Yu Xing gave some basic information, but it was not enough.
He looked into Luo Yan's eyes and thought that it was really not easy for this person to be so lovable since he was a child and to have such an upright character.
After careful consideration, he also shared the hidden mission with Luo Yan.
With Luo Yan's current state, there is a high probability that he will not compete with him for the final reward of the buff, so even though this is a personal mission, Luo Yan can also be regarded as a teammate.
Luo Yan's ability to search for intelligence clues is not low. With Luo Yan's help, his mission progress should be faster.
Yu Xing and Luo Yan talked about the soul-stealing conspiracy in general, and connected it with the common secrets of wealthy businessmen such as the Zhao family. They also mentioned Master Feng's birthday and the master Wanba hidden behind Master Feng's name.
So far, I haven't mentioned Li Huaihua and the boy with red cloth shoes.
Luo Yan was smart and quickly reached the conditions to start the hidden mission. From this look, the information exchanged between the two parties was equal again.
He was silent for a moment and thought about how to call Yu Xing before speaking, because in his heart, Yu Xing was both a senior and not a "person".
Two seconds later, Luo Yan decided to call him by his first name for the time being: "Yu Xing."
Yu Xing tilted his head: "What?"
"Based on your character, I should be able to tell that I told you everything just to make you think that I can trust you, and then share the hidden mission with me." Luo Yan put his hands behind his back and curled his fingers. .
He himself discovered so many secrets in the Zhao Mansion, and he had already guessed that there would be hidden missions. Even if it was not a hidden mission, it would be a side mission.
But he failed to start the mission, indicating that there were not enough puzzle pieces. When he shared the information with Yu Xing, Yu Xing's calm expression had proved that the missing puzzle piece was with Yu Xing.
His exchange of information for information is a very normal and aboveboard move.
But Luo Yan also knows that things like hidden missions or side missions often have attractive rewards and are not within the scope of intelligence exchange.
But he wanted this clue very much, maybe not for the reward, but just to get the hidden information.
So, half out of gratitude and respect, half out of consideration for human nature, and the impression of Yu Xing as a "kind monster", Luo Yan made the decision to tell everything.
He shows all his cards first, either to gain the other's favor and get what he wants.
Either you lose, you won't even have any pants left.
—In any case, he is also the chief of the Luo family. He has long learned to have both feelings and responsibilities, otherwise he would not be qualified to represent the Luo family.
He didn't believe that what Luo Yan could think of could not be imagined by Yu Xing. Therefore, what he could get depended on whether Yu Xing was willing or not. This was a gamble with a high chance of winning.
He felt that a "monster" who would let his wounds burst repeatedly in order to fulfill the kindness of a child must have his own set of standards and would not want to take his things for free.
In the end, Yu Xing turned out to be just as good a "monster" as he imagined.
However, after achieving his goal, Luo Yan couldn't help but seek confirmation from Yu Xing, just like seeking evaluation from his master when he draws a spell that he is not yet proficient at.
"Of course, no one knows what you are thinking." Yu Xing was amused by his appearance, "You are kind, but I never thought you were a fool. When I realized that I was starting to feel embarrassed, I know what you're planning.”
“Besides, you do deserve my trust, right?” He spread his hands.
“I will share the task with you, will you grab the silk thread with me?”
“No.” Luo Yan replied decisively.
He is a little interested in the buff mentioned in the mission, but not much. He just wants to get the hidden information to give himself an extra layer of protection in Liangtou Town and not be so passive.
By the way, if you get more clues, you can also help Yu Xing.
Yu Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then said something terrible without changing his face: "That's right. If you answer 'yes', even if you are the chief of the Luo family, I will make you regret it."
Luo Yan: “…” A chill ran down his back.
They were lucky to have stood on the small garden corridor for so long without triggering any rules.
The two quickly decided what to do next.
Yu Xing originally came to inquire about the Zhao family's information, but now, Luo Yan has basically told him everything he wanted to know.
As for the secrets of Mr. Zhao and other wealthy businessmen, they cannot be obtained in one night. Unless you wake Mr. Zhao up, rule out any unspeakable rules about him, and then press for questioning.
Some things need to be observed during the day.
So they decided to reverse the drawings of the Qingtian Doll Formation first, and then go to other merchants' houses, focusing on the ones that had correspondence with Mr. Zhao.
This night is destined to be spent running around. Deducers don't have a high need for sleep. Three days without sleep is not a problem. Tomorrow and the next two nights will probably be busy with hidden tasks, so tonight I will go and collect all the scattered things. Figure it out.
So Luo Yan continued to release the perception mapping array in the small garden.
Yu Xing walked a few more steps and looked at the newly piled white mats in the small garden.
There are five corpses of servants here.
They are all new tonight.
One of them was the crazy servant. After Mr. Zhao confirmed that he could no longer control his emotions and cognition, he ordered someone to kill him.
The remaining four bodies were all servants who died in the water corpse attack before ten o'clock. They were both male and female. The corpses were originally lying across the Zhao family's yard, and no one would pick them up until tomorrow morning.
But Luo Yan said that in order to cause Mr. Zhao to panic, Zhao Huaisheng made Mr. Zhao take the initiative to expose some information. After the water corpses calmed down and left, he took the dead servant's body to the small garden and placed it with the servants.
Luo Yan agreed with this approach and took the initiative to find some white cloth to wrap the body.
Although the body was not buried, it was at least more dignified than leaving it exposed overnight.
Yu Xing looked at the corpse and thought -
People in Fengtou Town will turn into ghosts immediately when they die. It is very likely that they will turn into ghosts on the spot, or they will return to the place of death after condensing their souls elsewhere.
The ghosts of these five corpses are quite consistent...none of them came back.
