Chapter 13 [Second Act]

Chapter 13 [Act 2]

Prison Camp No. 1.

When Zheng Xiu opened his eyes in the A-shaped cell, he subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt lingering fear.

Not really.

Scared of a myocardial infarction?

Zheng Xiu didn't know that Shi Wentong was in a state of great joy and shock at that time, and had taken a large amount of supplements in advance.

When Shi Wentong screamed and kicked off his legs, frothing at the mouth and slid down from the seat, Zheng Xiu immediately dove down and escaped into the ground, ending his "fugue" and returning his consciousness to his original body.

There was so much noise inside the carriage that no matter how stupid the coachman was, he would immediately go inside to check on Shi Wentong's safety.

Wouldn't it scare him to death?

Shi Wentong had a happy banquet with him during the day, and died in the carriage at night. If he really died, wouldn't he be suspicious of himself?

Although he, Mr. Zheng, has a sufficient alibi, if someone really wants to use this as an excuse, Zheng Xiu is afraid of being exposed.

"but……"

After struggling for a while, Zheng Xiu smiled and shook his head: "I, Zheng, have already been in trouble, what can you do to me?"

It was already late at night, and it would be too conspicuous for Erniang or his own men to temporarily visit the prison camp and make arrangements. Zheng Xiu could only wait until tomorrow.

After wandering in his mind for a night, Zheng Xiu was even more looking forward to the harvest after "the door". He didn't know what kind of extraordinary powers he could develop if he continued to go deeper into the door.

After resting for a while, Zheng Xiu closed his eyes and entered the prison of his heart.

Sitting on the bone chair, staring at the fog as deep as the sea outside the prison of the heart, thinking of Shi Wentong's tragic situation, although he did not feel guilty, Zheng Xiu felt a little more in awe of the gray fog for no reason.

Anyway, I hope others are okay.

Zheng Xiu lamented that as a person, you should be like Mr. Zheng, with both virtue and skill, and a clear conscience.

The map is spread out, and the little man waits quietly in the center.

Zheng Xiu looked at the location of Baili Village. The preserved egg-shaped color was a bit darker.

If the round black tent looked like a preserved egg at first, then at this moment, it looks like a rotten old preserved egg.

Reaching out his hand to explore, the words that appeared in front of Zheng Xiu's eyes also changed -

【White Carp Village·Act 2】

The yellowed paper scrolled and came to Zheng Xiu.

Zheng Xiu took it and checked the current progress of himself and his incarnation.

【Host】:【Zheng Xiu】

【Gateway】:【Prisoner】

[Derivatives]: [Sitting in jail and looking at the sky (first glimpse of the door)] [Wandering in the mind (first glimpse of the door)]

[Talent]: [No businessman, no treachery (first glimpse of the door)]

[Experience]: [Bai Li is looking for secrets for the first time, and the troubled times are turbulent (first entering the world)]

Among them, "Watching the Sky in Prison" and "No Businessman, No Evil" are still in the realm of "first glimpse of the door".

In terms of ability description, [Wandering of the Gods] is similar to [Watching the Sky from Prison].

[Watching the Sky in Prison] allows Zheng Xiu to enter the ghost world in the prison of his heart.

[Wandering of the Gods] allows Zheng Xiu to travel around the world in the form of Ah Piao.

Zheng Xiu felt that there was a contradiction hidden in it.

[Prisoner] On the one hand, he is required to stay in the prison, but on the other hand, he is trying to find ways to get him out of the prison.

"The first glimpse of the door" is just the beginning. If it continues to improve, Zheng Xiu guesses that the next step may be to be able to explore here and there in the [fugue] posture.

After a little guessing and longing, Zheng Xiu planned to stay up all night and spend the night in a long night, so Zheng Xiu didn't waste time, and after concentrating his mind, the macho painter [Zheng Shan] on the table opened his eyes.



【Name】Zheng Shan

【Born】Painter

【Age】Thirty-two (in the prime of life)

【Strength】Twenty (Kong Wuli)

[Footwork] Ten (dexterity and sharpness)

[Physique] Eleven (yang prosperous and healthy)

[Appearance] Thirty-six (unparalleledly handsome, extraordinary, unparalleled in the world)

[Will] Thirty-two (loyal and strong, as solid as a rock)

[Luck] Eleven (small blessing)

【Physique】Twenty (huge and strong)

[Knowledge] Twelve (Extreme knowledge but not mastery)

[Traits] Detective (a little knowledge of the basics), Medicine (a little knowledge of the basics), Intuition (little attainments), Deterrence (a basic knowledge of the basics)



When he re-entered [Bai Li Village], Zheng Xiu acted boldly and quickly killed Li Dachui. The domineering force he inadvertently exuded frightened Xiao Xiao, and he realized the trait [Shock] in his avatar.

[Shock (a little understanding of it)]: At a specific moment, the invisible aura you exude may scare the opponent to pieces and make you win without a fight, but this rarely happens.

To put it simply, it is possible to scare the enemy with your face, but the probability still depends on your face.

As the saying goes, many skills are better than nothing. Watching the incarnation gradually grow, the joyful mood is like letting little Zheng Xiu bathe in the sun and nectar and grow strong.

It stands to reason that Zheng Xiu, who has become the richest man, has been able to face many things without expressing his emotions and anger, but the "Gui Xie" line made Mr. Zheng regain his original intention and feel as happy as he returned to his childhood.

Pain and happiness.

A feeling of dizziness came over him, and Zheng Xiu stepped into the ghost world.

Just as he was about to spend a few minutes running over to brush Li Dachui quickly before entering Baili Village, the thick fog parted, revealing a neither wide nor narrow tree-lined path leading deep into the depths, with water droplets hanging on the branches on both sides, along with

Zheng Xiu's clothes were wet everywhere.

Zheng Xiu stared blankly at the start of the game, not caring about the wet clothes soaking on his body. Looking around, he didn't see the bandit's official path that he had walked hundreds of times.

"Save, archive it?"

Is this what is called the second act?

In the distance, there are lights and there seems to be people.

That should be the real Baili Village.

Zheng Xiu remembered the reminder he gave before "going deep into the door" for the last time.

【You realize that once you move forward, it will be difficult to look back.】

Very...difficult?

How difficult is it?

Zheng Xiu did not believe in evil and turned around and returned.

When the rain stopped and the wind stopped, the chirping of birds and insects in the forest could not be heard. Only the "tap-tat" sound of Zheng Xiu walking on the muddy road was left, which was eerily quiet.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the shadow of a village appeared in front of me again, with the same lights as before.

"What the hell?"

Now Zheng Xiu was surprised, and a drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead.

After pausing on the spot for a moment, Zheng Xiu took out the bandit knife he had snatched, carved a big X on a conspicuous tree, and then returned.

really.

When Zheng Xiu once again saw the cross he carved on the tree with his own hands, he understood the mystery here.

"Go through an investigation."

【You are opportunistic!】

Oh yeah! A critical hit.

【Thirty-six.】

【Investigation is a great success!】

Scouting is a good ability.

No need to specify a target, it can even be used on air.

But the only disadvantage is that once the investigation is successful at the same time and place, if the points are too low to detect more information, and the judgment is made again, no matter how high the points are, no new information will be detected.

Zheng Xiu has personally confirmed this during the speed brushing process.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it can be investigated.

More and less are just relative terms, it is better than knowing nothing at all.

【You saw a village from a distance.】

【This must be Baili Village.】

【What a peaceful and peaceful place hidden in the troubled times.】

【You are alone. Although the rain has stopped, you are lost in the woods.】

[Although I don’t want to disturb the villagers, I have no choice but you are already hungry. If you don’t stay in the village for a night and are alone in the forest at night, something might happen to you.]

[You are vigilant. Bandits are in power all around. The world is in a bleak climate. Why are there no bandits to plunder Baili Village? 】

【So you made a decision.】

After the investigation was successful, three options floated in front of Zheng Xiu.

[The lonely shadow of the village ahead makes you feel uneasy, so you decide to sleep in the forest.]

[You are starving and decide to go to Baili Village to stay overnight. 】

[You want to leave this forest no matter what. Even if you encounter a wild beast in the forest and fall into its belly, you will have no regrets. Just treat it as a good deed.]

[Detection] is indeed a good skill.

Great success brings a lot of information.

Especially the last sentence makes sense.

In the end, Zheng Xiu learned from his experience and decided to go to Baili Village first.

Entering the village, Zheng Xiu looked at the surrounding environment. The village was not big, and there were about twenty households from a distance. A fair and fat old man called himself the village chief and opened the door. There was a fire in the house, and Zheng Xiu was welcomed into the house.

When I arrived, I found several outsiders in the house who did not look like villagers.

The village chief said that this group of people also came to take shelter from the rain and stay overnight.

The other party was wearing a raincoat and had a sword in his hand. Zheng Xiu's eyes burned and he almost thought he was a bandit.

Later, I took a closer look at the other person's expression, especially the old man at the head. Even though he was caught in the rain, his hair and beard were neatly combed. When Zheng Xiu stepped over the threshold, the other person looked at Zheng Xiu with caution hidden in his eyes, and soon he

Look away.

This time, Zheng Xiu didn't need to use his [Investigation] ability. Through his own observation, he was vaguely aware of the other party's identity.

Boss Zheng has dealt with such people many times.

It's not rich, it's expensive.

Rich people all have one obvious characteristic: they are afraid of death, especially afraid of death.

Seeing the old man carefully taking out a silver needle from his arms and inserting it into the soup to confirm that it was non-toxic before letting others take it, Zheng Xiu nodded secretly, becoming even more sure of this matter.

Zheng Xiu lowered his head and drank the broth. The village chief said that it was white carp that was abundant in the village. The meat was tender and smooth, and the fish soup was sweet and delicious. Even Boss Zheng, who had eaten a lot of delicacies from all over the world, drank this fish soup for the first time.

I almost bit off my own tongue.

"Is this a fish?"

Zheng Xiu was skeptical at first, but the village chief smiled and fished out the rotten fish bones from the pot, and then Zheng Xiu believed it.

Glancing at the soft fish skeletons, Zheng Xiu drank a bowl and was about to add another bowl when a strange thought flashed through his mind:

"Why are all the fish bones missing the heads?"

On the recommendation cycle, it is really important to keep reading. Please don’t keep reading. Baiyi guarantees stable updates!
