Chapter 29: The Stick and the Carrot

"I'll go open the door." Liu Mao stood up at this time.

He was idle and had nothing to do now. Wu Rui was writing his daughter's math test like a possessed person without even raising her head. He could only watch from the side in boredom.

Get up and open the door.

"Hey, it's Lao Zhang."

Standing outside the door was an acquaintance of Liu Mao, a neighbor who lived on the second floor. Although he was a tenant, he had lived in the apartment for many years and made a living by running a meat stall in the nearby vegetable market. Privately, people called him Zhang the Butcher.

Butcher Zhang was not tall but strong. At this moment he looked at Liu Mao with a very special expression.

"Old Liu, if you are the one calling the meeting, then I will join. I trust you. Normally, you are the only one who looks up to me, an outsider." Zhang the butcher said outside the door.

".?" Liu Mao didn't understand, but Wu Rui in the room heard the voice and immediately remembered Luo Xi's instructions and shouted, "Brother Mao, let him in."

Butcher Zhang stood at the door and looked inside vigilantly. He found a petite and cute woman in the living room writing a test paper. She just looked up slightly, then immediately lowered her head and continued writing, very focused.

"Old Liu, who is she?" asked Butcher Zhang in a low voice.

"Please take a seat first!" Wu Rui didn't even raise her head: "When other people come, I will explain everything to them!"

Now, Wu Rui has complete faith in Luo Xi.

Whatever this guy says, no matter how outrageous, always happens.

Looking back on some things afterwards, we can roughly understand how Luo Xi did it.

For example, asking other memory collectors in the building to come here might be related to the phone that Liu Mao couldn't find just now. Wu Rui guessed that Luo Xi must have used Liu Mao's phone to send some content in the apartment owners' group.

Of course Wu Rui remembered the contract, but there were no constraints in the contract. If she used someone else's ID to speak in the group, it would be a foul.

Since there is no agreement, it certainly doesn’t count.

So far, the man has missed nothing.

If that is the case, then the answers he gave on the math test must be perfect and there must be no mistakes.

At that moment, Wu Rui simply copied the answer without thinking. Soon, she finished the last question.

".Number the 24 gold coin bags, 1 to 24, and take out the same number of gold coins from the corresponding numbered bags. In this way, you only need to weigh them once to know which bag is fake, because they are all real gold coins. Take out a total of 300 gold coins, with a total weight of 3000 grams. If the weight is insufficient, then it is known that each fake gold coin is 2 grams less than the real gold coin. Subtract the actual weight from 3000 grams and divide it by 2. The number obtained is the number of the corresponding fake gold coin bag."

The next moment after she finished writing, in Wu Rui's eyes, a cloud of smoke covered the surface of the test paper.

After about two seconds, the smoke formed numbers.

"You have completed a puzzle game in the current level and received full marks. You will be randomly selected from the scene card library as a reward."

The next second, the smoke in front of him formed a strange dice.

Wu Rui touched it in surprise, and then a card appeared. She reached out and grabbed it, and it turned from virtual to real.

But in the eyes of others, Wu Rui was like a magician, grabbing a card out of thin air in her hand.

Liu Mao and Zhang the Butcher were both stunned by this scene.

Wu Rui's heart was beating like a drum at this moment and she was extremely excited, but she knew she had to stay calm.

"Luo Xi is so scary. He really finished the test paper in less than 5 minutes, and he didn't make a single mistake."

Look at the cards in your hand again.

The back of the classic spider has a stream of light on the front, and it is a pair of hands forming a hand seal, with the stream of light wrapped around the palms, like some kind of mysterious power.

Text description: [Mana] is a special energy. Some special cards need mana as support to release, just like if you want to ride a horse, you have to feed the horse with grass; if you want to drive a car, you have to refuel first.
Wu Rui had a [Mana] card before, so she was not surprised. She put the card away and looked at Zhang the Butcher.

"How did you do that just now?" Butcher Zhang could not hide his surprise and could not help asking.

"It's just a small puzzle game!" Wu Rui felt that she had done her best in this act, and it felt really good.

Just then, someone knocked on the door again.

"Be careful!" Wu Rui stood up at this time, holding a dagger in her hand, looking at Zhang the Butcher, and said according to Luo Xi's thoughts: "Old Zhang, right? If you want to pass the level, everything will be up to me."

"Hey, how can you talk like that, little girl?" Butcher Zhang was a little dissatisfied. After all, Wu Rui looked young and was a head shorter than him. It was like a child teaching an adult how to do things.

"If you don't trust me, you should trust Brother Mao. Brother Mao is one of ours." Wu Rui understood why Luo Xi wanted someone to come to Liu Mao's house. There was also a face-to-face element in this.

Butcher Zhang didn't say anything this time. He really came here because he trusted Liu Maocai. As for this girl, thinking about how she could actually take out a card out of thin air just now, he decided to listen to her for the time being.

Butcher Zhang has preserved his memory once, so naturally, he is a newcomer, and as a newcomer, he has a newcomer gift package.

Know about the existence of "cards".

"Brother Mao, please go open the door!" After Wu Rui finished speaking, Liu Mao walked over and opened the door.

Outside the door was a young man wearing glasses and looking a little pale, like someone who had stayed at home for a long time without getting any sun exposure. He had two dark circles under his eyes and looked a little creepy.

"Wang Tao?" Liu Mao obviously recognized the other person. He probably remembered what Fan Yong and Song Yan had said before. The other party concluded that Wang Tao was the one who had forgotten memories because in the last round, Wang Tao killed another female resident on the same floor.

Wang Tao at the door was obviously alert. He did not enter the house, but stared at the people in the house with an expressionless face. One of his hands was in his pocket, and it was obvious that he was holding a weapon.

Wu Rui followed what Luo Xi taught her and showed absolute confidence at this moment.

She was originally a person who had preserved many memories. With so much experience, she naturally had a special "aura".

"Since you are here, you are one of us. Remember, we, the Shiyi people, must unite. Otherwise, we will be trapped in the imprisonment forever, and we will never be able to turn over. If you don't want to experience the terror of death endlessly, then join us. Of course, you can choose not to join, but the next time we meet, we will kill you without hesitation."

Wu Rui began to imitate Luo Xi, threatening and making promises at the same time.

The stick and the carrot.

Remember, in the last round, this guy fooled himself and others in the same way.

Of course Luo Xi wasn't really fooling people, because in the last round he really took all the Shiyi people out of the scene.

It was obvious that Wang Tao at the door was shaken and struggled when he heard this.

He hesitated about whether to go to 712, and even fell into a very intense dilemma, worried about gains and losses, and was the kind of person who was afraid and afraid.
Finally, he couldn't resist the temptation and came.

But coming here would mean being exposed. According to the sweet-looking girl in the room, if you don't join, you'll be the enemy.

Doesn't that mean they'll be the first to kill me?
Is there still any choice?

Even if you don't want to, you have to pretend to agree first.

"I'll join!"

Wang Tao is not stupid.

"Okay, now we have five people." Wu Rui smiled. She felt that the task Luo Xi had assigned to her was relatively simple. She only needed to use her brain a little to temporarily "unite" the Shiyi people.

Of course, it is not true "unity". They all have their own ulterior motives and come together temporarily for the sake of interests and threats. If something happens to this small team, it is estimated that some of them will leave at the first time, and even turn against the enemy.

At this time, the door of the inner bedroom opened, and Liu Mao's wife walked out with an angry face.

Seeing this, Liu Mao hurried over to coax his wife.

"What did you just post in the group? What about the Memory Collector and the Mutual Aid Association? Where's your phone? And what are they doing here at our house?"

"My wife, don't ask me now. I will explain this to you later."

With the door closed, I couldn't hear what the couple was saying.

In the living room, Wu Rui was sitting on one side, with Zhang the Butcher on the other side, while Wang Tao was standing near the door, probably because he thought that if anything happened, he could run out at the first moment.

The three people were not familiar with each other and did not talk.

Wu Rui looked at the time.

Nine forty-five.

There were still fifteen minutes until ten o'clock. Luo Xi said that if he didn't come back by ten o'clock, he would take people to kill Fan Yong.

If you receive a call during this period, you need to hide immediately.

So what happens next?
She had no idea.

But it’s because we don’t know that we feel it’s exciting!
