Chapter 21 Blood Tea
The blood words were successfully integrated into everyone's eyebrows - except for Zhao Yijiu.
Just as the strange words that I couldn't understand were pasted on his forehead, a black pattern suddenly appeared, hedging the blood words. The faint black air briefly dissipated, but it soon condensed again.
In contrast, the blood letter almost collapsed because of the hedging energy.
Ren Yi looked at Guijiu inquiry, and Guijiu was stunned, as if he hadn't reacted at the first time, then his lips raised and a strange smile appeared.
He touched his forehead, and a cold feeling was hidden under his skin by the feeling he had been used to.
"I forgot that there is a mark on this piece, and your blood word may not be able to come in." He said, looking at the culprit.
Yu Xing contacted him with his eyes and remembered it.
Before, he used the power of curses to leave a mark on Zhao Yijiu's forehead - in order to protect Zhao Yijiu's safety in the copy where the actors appeared.
As a result, the mark was not used for the time being and he did not take it back.
Ren Yi was knowledgeable and guessed something when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "...It's okay, just shift it a little."
The lonely blood word finally merged into the back of Guijiu's head.
He closed his eyes and sensed it, confirming that the blood had established a connection. Ren Yi moved his spirit and opened the blocked memory in the minds of the four people around him.
In an instant, Yu Xing saw a series of memory fragments that slid quickly past, and naturally there was a memory that did not belong to him in his mind. He stood in the first perspective inside a strange inn.
At the beginning of my memory, he walked to the counter and made a few words with the shopkeeper in Ren Yi's voice.
The shopkeeper seemed to be murmuring that the house today was already full.
Looking out from the door, it was just beginning to turn dark.
Yu Xing's perspective followed the owner of this memory, and followed the shopkeeper's advice and went to the room booked on the second floor of the inn.
These are some very ordinary ancient inn standard rooms. After opening the door, the first thing that caught your eye was a low table in the center. There were cushions on both sides of the low table. This table seemed to be for people to play chess and have tea.
The bed is on the right side of the door, with a brown curtain hanging on it, which has good privacy.
There is an ancient shelf placed against the wall, and some valuable but exquisite vases and folding fans are placed sparsely.
The whole room exudes a sense of etiquette that literati and scholars would like. The windows of the room are still open, which are the kind of wooden lattice windows that can only be opened with half of them. The sky outside the window is dark, and looking out from the window, you can just see the street outside.
After just a while, there were no more passers-by.
In this memory, Yu Xing not only saw what Ren Yi saw, but also felt what Ren Yi thought. He turned the whole house and finally closed the window that was constantly permeating the cold wind.
At this moment, it became completely dark and the mission was triggered.
The task required them and the residents not to leave the inn at any time. At the same time, they refreshed a "water delivery" task, saying that the waiter in the last inn died and the shopkeeper had not found a replacement, so the shopkeeper was willing to give discounts to the residents and the residents helped him to deliver tea to various rooms.
This is a choice for other residents, but for the deducer, it is a must-do under the task.
Before he could get up, he went downstairs again.
This time, after talking to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper handed him the task of delivering water. Ren Yi's mission was three rooms at the end of the second floor. He walked up with a tray, observing the things in the tray as he walked.
The "water" I want to give is actually a teapot container, the size of a palm, the lid is tightly covered, and I can't tell what's inside.
There are three teapots in the three rooms. He just knocks on the door, puts the teapot in, and brings the things to his house.
Ren Yi was very interested in the things in the teapot at that time, but the shopkeeper specifically reminded him not to open the teapot of other guests. When he said this, the shopkeeper's expression was serious and weird, as if he would know as long as he violated what he said.
In the end, Ren Yi followed his original intention and quietly lifted the lid of a teapot.
Suddenly, a fishy smell of blood came to my nose, and the liquid inside was viscous and cold, completely the color of the blood.
He immediately covered the tea lid back, and the smell of blood disappeared without a trace.
He thought that this teapot should be a special prop, otherwise it would be impossible to cover the smell to this level.
The shopkeeper of this inn actually wants to send "blood tea" to the guests? Not to mention the purpose of this, where did the raw materials for this blood tea come from...
Thinking of this, Ren Yi had already guessed the identity of the guests who received these teas, and he also became very alert and suspicious of the inn owner.
He came to the innermost room on the second floor, knocked on the door but no one answered, so he opened the door directly.
As he expected, all three rooms were empty, and the room was neat and not as if anyone had ever moved. He placed the "tea" on the low table in the center of the room, leaving with a very regular look without looking squinting.
When he returned the empty pallet to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper asked him with some slightest advice: "Is those guests easy to get along with?"
Ren Yi nodded: "It's pretty good."
The inn shopkeeper stared at his face with his eyes firmly, as if he wanted to find evidence of his lying, but the shopkeeper probably couldn't guess that this man was a facial paralysis and had no expression at all.
After completing the water delivery task, the rules asked Ren Yi to stay in his room and not go out no matter what he heard.
He did hear all kinds of sounds coming from the corridor before 10 o'clock, and he clearly felt that there was no one in the air, but from time to time, he heard words like "This tea tastes good", "I'm so tired", "My eyes seem to have fallen out".
It is probably OK to scare ordinary people, but for the deducers, they are a little bit pediatric.
I spent my time without any danger. I just passed ten o'clock and only found the twelve night rules.
At the same time, there were also the rules of the inn area. The first rule was - when you heard the clear sound of footsteps from the corridor, you immediately went to bed to pretend to be asleep.
Almost the moment after Ren Yi finished reading the rules, he heard footsteps. In a dark room, the footsteps were creepy because it was not like the sound of shoes stepping on the floor, but like something constantly knocking on the ground, making a dull sound of "dong, dong".
Ren Yi weighed it for a moment, chose to believe this rule, and hid in the bed first.
