Carlos was speechless as he watched him fall into the drama for a second, and he almost couldn't tell which character was the real San.
He was happy to watch the show and had no intention of exposing Yu Xing's disguise. As he had told Yu Xing before, they were all deducers, and after all, these npcs were not from the same world as them. There was no need to stand for the npcs' position.
Go out of your way to get into trouble with other deducers, especially those with whom you have a good relationship.
The team finally came back. Fortunately, Yu did not block the door and returned to the ancestral hall after meeting them. Carlos and his teammates also walked in, and the small ancestral hall suddenly became a little crowded.
“Is this how you do to my paper man?” Carlos picked up the small paper man from the ground, which was soaked in water. He raised his brows and looked at Yu Xing with a half-smile.
Yu Xing glanced at the paper man, lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "No, on the way here, the fish went crazy again and stirred up the water. I didn't pay attention, and your paper man was splashed."
He would not admit that he was bored and wanted to tease the strange fish, so he used the paper man as bait and dangled it on the water.
At any rate, Carlos didn’t see it.
Carlos indeed didn’t see it, but he didn’t believe Yu Xing’s words. When he cut off the contact, the paper man was next to the black coffin. Where is it now? Now it’s next to the hidden door!
The paper man in his hand was still in shape and could barely be used. Carlos held the paper man in his hand and felt the message conveyed by the paper man.
"You're really good at it." He laughed, not angry, but glanced at Yu Xing's finger with a hint of intent.
When people lie, even if they can control their facial micro-expressions, they usually don't take into account the disguise of finger movements. When a person's fingers are particularly stiff and motionless when speaking, he is probably not telling the truth.
Carlos has learned magic for so many years, and his fingers are the most sensitive. He has always used this method to identify the authenticity of other people's words, and he has never made a mistake.
Yu Xing noticed his gaze, smiled and spread his hands: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Tsk, the finger movements are very natural.
Carlos knew that he was not telling the truth, and just wanted to see if he would make the same mistake as others. Sure enough, luckily, he was not disappointed.
Also, this kind of skillful admission of mistakes is too much!
Shijiu took a look at the interior display of the ancestral hall. She had been on her way and had never entered the ancestral hall.
Looking around, she murmured something: "This place is almost exactly the same as the other ancestral halls, except for this... pool?"
"It's a secret door." There was no point in hiding it, so Yu Xing took the initiative to explain to her, "This is the secret door mechanism I found after I came here. There is an underground river at the bottom, and there is a very scary fish in it."
"Shijiu and I have talked about that fish." Carlos first gave up Yu Xing's idea of explaining it in detail, and then looked lazily at his teammates, "It's right here. Even though the secret door is inconspicuous, but
That fish is truly dangerous. If you don’t believe it, you can try to lure it out yourself later.”
Ash is extremely confident: "Okay, I've wanted to go fishing for a long time."
“Don’t blame me for not warning you. That fish is several times scarier than the semi-resurrected people who injured Unica. Don’t kill yourself if you want to play with it.” Carlos reminded him jokingly.
He has nothing to do with Ash, who is very active in everything he does, whether it's fighting or causing trouble.
“You know, you know, don’t you worry about me?” Ash’s spoken accent is very poor, but in general, he is very proficient in using Chinese.
Everyone found a place to sit down and repair. They retreated non-stop. They were worried about unforeseen events on the way, so they didn't rest until dark.
Now, we have finally arrived at a safe place. Originally, this place was not safe because of the presence of rickets, so no one dared to approach it.
But Carlos had already described to them the second half of the scene when Yu Xing killed the rickets on the way. While they were shocked by San's amazing hidden strength as a painter, they were also delighted by the death of the rickets.
It can be said that no rest was allowed in the second half of the journey, and everyone relied on the belief of "go quickly, you can sleep when you get to the ancestral hall" to survive.
The third pole of the moon is the time when humans sleep, and some people begin to feel tired after a short period of excitement.
Yu Xing also understood them. He didn't care how long he had to stay in the ancestral hall, so he let them decide.
Now, these people set up their pots and planned to light a fire to cook and have a good meal before going to bed.
“Pot?” Yu Xing stared at what Carlos took out, a little surprised.
Brother Sun's team only brought dry food, compressed biscuits and the like, and at most canned food. Compared with Carlos's team, Brother Sun immediately seemed extremely inferior.
“Yeah, it’s been a long time since you had hot food, right?” Carlos smiled, shook the pot showily, and then placed it on the rising fire.
"Haha, our team has always had to eat hot food so that we are nutritious and will not be unable to keep up with our physical strength later. Now that you have joined, I have to do more for one person." The oldest man in the team is almost fifty.
Years old, with a beard and slightly long hair, he is a handsome-looking uncle.
He was probably the best cook and was responsible for the team's meals. While grabbing the spoon that Carlos was playing with, he glared at Carlos, as if he was looking at his ignorant son.
It didn't matter that Carlos was stared at. He pointed to his uncle and introduced to Yu Xing: "Uncle Zhang, don't look at him as a cook, he is actually a doctor in our team. His medical skills are very good, look at Yunica
That way, even if her intestines are pulled out, Uncle Zhang can stuff them back in for her."
An advertisement, [app ] is really good, it is worth installing, after all, there are many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
Yu Xing's eyes wandered to Yunika, who was lying half-lying beside her, and when he met her charming eyes, he lowered his eyes a little.
Yunika's abdomen was wrapped with a thick bandage, and no blood oozed out at all. She was indeed well treated.
Yu Xing ignored Yunika who was about to blow a kiss, turned around and shouted happily: "Hello, Uncle Zhang! Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
Uncle Zhang smiled faintly and wanted to chat with Yu Xing again and exchange information, but Shijiu sat over and drove Uncle Zhang to get serious about cooking.
Shijiu is probably the sleepiest person here. She hasn't had much rest in the past few days. She was stunned because she was hungry and decided not to sleep without eating meat.
Because once she fell asleep, she would not wake up until the morning.
In order to restrain her sleepiness, she came here specifically to chat with Yu Xing.
So Yu Xing saw this lady with a ponytail, quite heroic appearance, and an unruly personality in Brother Sun's team. She opened her eyes with three eyelids, dragged her voice, and moved her head little by little, persistently.
Find topics.
“San, you are really good at deceiving me. Unfortunately, I really thought you were a...ah...a painter who can't fight. I think of you for all the easy things."
Shi yawned during the wine, and Carlos laughed at her: "You are so sleepy, people who don't know think you are going to eat people."
"Shut up, damn, I'm not going to eat people. Damn it, don't mention it to me." Shijiu scratched his hair manically, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Uncle Zhang's pot, to be precise.
.
Carlos ignored her and acted as an introducer again: "Nineteen, she is a mercenary like Ash. Nineteen is also the only female mercenary I can find so far. She has strong business skills, but she has a bad temper.
good."
Yu Xing nodded to show that he remembered, and then said: "You might as well introduce everyone."
These people were so excited to enter the ancestral hall that they never formally introduced themselves.
"Okay, apart from me, Uncle Zhang, Shijiu and Ash, Yunika is a historian... Yes, although she is a foreigner, she studies the history of her country and is very proficient in it."
"And then there's this guy over here..." Carlos pointed at the young black-haired man who was sleeping next to him. "On the surface, he's a geography major and a top student. In fact, he comes from a Feng Shui family. He's pretty good."
“This is a person who studies divination.”
“And here, there are a few people from a family of tomb robbers.”
“That being said, they all have some ability to fight ghosts, so there is no need to worry about their strength. This team has no leader, everyone is friends and partners, and decisions must be approved by the majority of people before they can take effect.”
Carlos said roughly, and Yu Xing recognized the faces one by one, and then tilted his head.
“How come there are only eleven people including you?”
Carlos paused: "It was originally a team of eleven people."
Yu Xing said "Oh" without saying anything, as if he just asked casually.
He crossed his arms and tapped his sleeves rhythmically with his fingers.
But what he said immediately after was not casual at all.
“When you came, I counted your number from afar. There were twelve in total, but your team only had eleven. One of them I saw was not a human being. Is this what you meant?”
Twelve, one more than eleven.
What the extra figure could be is a question that requires no explanation on Chongyin Mountain.
Carlos' first reaction was that Yu Xing was far away and the number was wrong. Then he came back to his senses. According to Yu Xing's character, if Yu Xing was unsure, he would not directly bring it up with him like this.
And Yu Xing’s eyesight should be pretty good, so for him, there may not be a possibility of miscounting.
In other words, when their team entered the ancestral hall, there was indeed one more person in the team!
Shijiu dozed off and suddenly woke up: "What?"
The confusion in her eyes disappeared without a trace almost instantly, and there was a sharp light in her eyes that was hard to ignore.
Yu Xing is honored to be an alarm clock.
Carlos's heart beat a little faster, but his expression remained unchanged and he subconsciously looked toward the team.
One, two, three...nine, ten, eleven.
There is nothing wrong with that.
"That's right now." Carlos lowered his voice. If others looked at it, they would think that he, Shijiu and Yu Xing were chatting. "Did you really see one more person?"
Yu Xing said: "Don't be too nervous."
Carlos: “How to say?”
Yu Xing: "It's just that a ghost who can evade your senses sneaks into your team. It's not a big deal."
Shijiu: “Are you serious?”
Carlos: "...Don't say sarcastic words, this is your team now."
hiss, that’s right too.
Yu Xing turned his head and looked at the others. When he was counting the number of people, he was too far away. He could only see the figures and clothes, but could not see their faces clearly.
Except for Carlos's colorful clothes and Yunika's blond hair, which allowed him to identify himself at a glance, the others were not very identifiable. The extra ghost took advantage of this and sneaked in among them.
"It is gone now, but since it has sneaked into you unknowingly, it means that it has the ability to not be noticed by you. No one knows how long it has been following you before." Shijiu was present, and Yu Xing analyzed it.
I am very serious and dedicated in completing my San character.
This matter is a bit scary to mention, but Yu Xing left something unsaid, and Carlos himself quickly thought of it.
Carlos' tense back relaxed slightly: "But like you said, this is not a big deal. If its goal is to kill us, why doesn't it do it along the way? It's probably because it doesn't dare, there are too many of us.
It’s strong, and it’s not weak.”
“We didn’t find it before, but now we know it. There are many ways to find it out, so there’s no need to mess around.”
This is the confidence of an experienced team of tomb robbers.
Soon, Uncle Zhang prepared the rice and invited everyone to eat. Yu Xing also consciously joined in and received a stainless steel bowl.
Tonight’s dish is fish, fresh fish, and the raw materials are supplied from a small river in front of this road.
The team originally caught a dozen fish and planned to eat them for dinner, and the active Ashe took them with him in a fish basket. Later, they were in danger and most of the fish died, but Ashe managed to save five of them.
The fish are not small, five fish are enough for twelve people, but they are not full.
Although there were other vegetables, Ash was not happy. He looked at the fish in the bowl for a while and suddenly suggested: "Can the fish in the river in the agency be eaten?"
Yu Xing recalled the layers of sharp teeth of the strange fish and nodded: "It can be eaten."
"A hammer can eat you." Carlos quickly stopped Ash, who wanted to fish on the spot, "A fish can eat you!"
Ash was hungry and wanted to eat more. Coupled with Yu Xing’s encouraging eyes, he stood up: “I’ll give it a try.”
Seeing Ash really walking towards the hidden door, Yu Xing silently turned sideways and faced the hidden door with her back to protect her food.
Two minutes later
There was a loud splash, accompanied by the impact of the water, teeth clenching, and Ash's foreign language swearing, and water splashing. Everyone's first reaction was to protect the rice in their arms, and at the same time turned to look at Ash with concern.
Ash fell to the ground. The mercenary's reaction ability was not impeccable. He perfectly dodged the attack of the strange fish and was completely washed away by the water in front of him.
Everyone could only see a corner of the fish skin hidden through the hidden door. Seeing that Ash was fine, Carlos gloated: "Did you see that? Do you eat the fish or does the fish eat you? Do you still want to eat it?"
“I won’t eat it, I won’t eat it!” Ash got up in embarrassment. The fear on his face had not disappeared, and then he laughed twice embarrassedly, “I feel like I can be full without it now.”
He looked at Yu Xing again: "You are a good or bad person."
