Chapter 7 Vigil
The firewood in the house crackled loudly. After a hearty meal, everyone gathered around the table and distributed the gems collected while strangling the curse spirits during the day.
Shen Tinglan relied on his personal ability to kill the B-class curse spirit, so he accepted the blue gem; while Ren Yao killed a C-class and D-class curse spirit and harvested two trophies. The remaining four The pieces of citrine and green agate were divided equally among Ling Yun, Lin Yuanqi, Su Li, Tang Yao, and Zhao Sicheng.
Zhao Sicheng opened the window, looked at the mist outside the yard, and murmured: "Look, you can't see anything outside. Fortunately, we still have a village to stay here. If we spend the night in the barren mountains, it will be a headache." Big."
"I hope the other teams can reduce their numbers, and the more people die, the better." Lin Yuanqi tapped the table with his index finger and spoke unhurriedly: "This is a good thing for us."
"Now there are four teams that have entered the dungeon. As soon as we started, we encountered the temptation of the fifth district. Although we don't know where the other two teams are yet, I speculate that one of them will definitely join the fifth district tonight. We'll meet him soon." Ling Yun said firmly.
Lin Yuanqi told everyone that he had some understanding of the situation of players in various regions.
The sixth area is quite special. It has the highest proportion of Western players and is particularly good at firearms combat. In terms of paper strength, the weakest of the four teams is currently the second area.
In the past, I had inquired with the players in Area 5 and learned from them that Zhao Zhengxun was aggressive by nature and was known to be cruel and ruthless in the space.
"Originally, killing is one of the ways to score points in the treasure hunt game; coupled with the rules of the gem game, Zhao Zhengxun will definitely choose to attack. The fifth area has not appeared so far, and Ren Yao has killed the shadow owl who was tracking us. The opponent will definitely not Knowing our specific location, it is not difficult to guess that the unlucky one tonight must be the second district."
"As for the remaining District 6, it's so foggy outside tonight, they may not be able to find us." Shen Tinglan glanced outside the window, frowning: "This fog is very strange. If it is not man-made, That has something to do with the curse spirit."
Tang Yao held her chin: "It's late at night now. Once twelve o'clock passes, the protection restrictions of the space will be lifted. No matter what, everyone should be prepared tonight."
"Well... let's take turns keeping vigil in pairs, and hand over every three hours. If anything goes wrong, we'll be ready to fight at any time." Ling Yun suggested.
After a whole morning of fighting and trekking, coupled with the need to always be on guard against the enemy, everyone's body and mind are always in a state of high tension. If they don't get a good rest, they may not be able to cope with the coming battle.
Therefore, after dinner, everyone checked the traps and charms outside the yard. Seeing that everything was in good condition, they went back to the house to close the windows, put out the fire, and laid the floor in the bedroom.
It's two o'clock in the morning.
Ling Yun yawned and walked out of the house, and exchanged words with Lin Yuanqi and Tang Yao, who were guarding the first shift.
The exposure was deeper and the temperature was extremely low. Shivering from the cold, Ling Yun sobered up a lot. He opened the door and walked into the courtyard. He rubbed his nose, which was red from the cold, and sat on the steps with his arms folded.
After a while, footsteps came from behind. Su Li walked up with a coat in his arms and handed it to Ling Yun, saying, "Tang Yao asked me to hand it over to you."
"Ah... thank you." Ling Yun took the clothes and put them on. When he saw Su Li sitting next to him, he suddenly became cautious.
According to the plan, Shen Tinglan was supposed to be guarding the second night shift with him, but why did he become Su Li now?
"I discussed with Shen Tinglan and let him watch the rest of the night instead of me." Su Li seemed to know that Ling Yun was doubtful, so he explained.
"Oh, that's right. It's a bit more tiring to stay in the middle of the night. I didn't notice this when I was scheduling my shifts. I'm sorry..." Ling Yun fiddled with his fingers guiltily, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the people around him.
In fact, the reason for this arrangement was that he always felt very uncomfortable when facing Su Li.
Especially since the last time I cleared the witch game, Ling Yun always felt that something was wrong with her eyes when she looked at him, and he didn't know if it was his misunderstanding. It even made him feel a little... creepy.
"It's really cold at night...don't you think so?"
"Um."
"Are you sleepy? I have chewing gum here to refresh you."
"fine."
"Would you like hot water?"
"Thanks."
Ling Yun has a small problem, that is, when he is nervous, he will become a chatterbox, talk too much, and look for words when he has nothing to say. Although the other party answers all questions, compared to Ren Yao, Ling Yun is alone with Su Li. Think the hardest times.
Just when Ling Yun was racking his brains, thinking of what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere, Su Li suddenly took the initiative to speak.
"Why do you know that Lin Yuanqi carries two pairs of sunglasses with him?"
The seemingly innocuous question instantly gave Ling Yun goosebumps.
"Ah? This..." Ling Yun swallowed hard, raised his head inadvertently, and met Su Li's eyes with blue light.
Good guy, just use your superpower to detect lies?!
Ling Yun felt as if his scalp exploded with a "swish". At this moment, he felt like a student who was caught cheating by the dean of students. Faced with the other party's doubts, all explanations seemed so feeble.
"It's... I saw him accidentally when I was watching him change clothes in the base..." Even so, Ling Yun gritted his teeth and made up such a paragraph.
After finishing speaking, Ling Yun forced a smile towards Su Li, trying to look as natural as possible: "What's the matter?"
Seeing that Su Li didn't respond, Ling Yun licked his dry lips, picked up the cup next to him and took a sip to hide his uneasiness.
"When a person feels nervous, he will swallow saliva and feel dry. In fact, this is a psychological thirst, not a physical lack of water. If there happens to be a glass of water around you at this time If so, then this person will choose to drink water to relieve their tension and anxiety."
As soon as Su Li finished speaking, Ling Yun, who was still drinking water, suddenly felt his throat tighten and coughed due to the water he had just taken into his mouth.
A pair of hands gently patted his back. It was Su Li who wanted to help Ling Yun. But who knew that the latter looked like he had seen a ghost.
Startled by Su Li's sudden movement, Ling Yun didn't even place his cup firmly, causing the water to spill all over the floor.
"Sorry, sorry..."
Ling Yun stood up and packed up in embarrassment, but heard Su Li's unyielding voice coming from behind: "According to Murphy's law: anything that can go wrong will always go wrong. If you are worried about a certain situation happening, then it will be more likely to happen." It could happen. So, what are you afraid of?"
It's over, it's over, she found out, she must know my true identity!
If there was a mirror at this moment, Ling Yun really wanted to see if he was smiling more ugly than crying. He had known for a long time that Su Li was not a light-hearted person, but what he didn't expect was that his secret would be discovered so quickly.
Now that I think about it, if Su Li reveals the time-travel incident, then not only himself, but also Su Li, who is an insider, will also be implicated, right?
"When we first met, you saw through the weakness of Ren Yao's abilities."
"In the Seven-Day Rebirth dungeon, you repeatedly prevented others from tampering with the plot. It seems that you already knew the consequences of doing so."
"Pan Rong, Tang Yao's superpowers have made a qualitative leap due to your suggestions."
"In the last witch game, your understanding and application of the characteristics of Tarot cards exceeded my expectations."
"Including this time convincing Ren Yao to join the team and participate in the treasure hunt."
Su Li spoke unhurriedly and raised his eyes to look at Ling Yun: "If you think I have too many questions, then let me ask another question: Why do you understand each of us so well and understand the characteristics of superpowers?
