Chapter 101 Those who don’t know are not guilty

That night.

Bai Fugui climbed up to the rooftop of Genting Highlands, lit a cigarette and looked at the bright lights of the city below. He was not there to jump off the building, but to wait for someone.

After one cigarette was finished, Bai Fugui lit another one for himself, but before he could take a puff, a big hand with rough calluses reached out from the side and snatched the cigarette from his hand.

Bai Fugui turned his head and saw a sturdy man with a broad back standing next to him. He was wearing a moving company's uniform and was a mover who moved furniture and electrical appliances up and down the building on a daily basis.

The porter took the cigarette from Bai Fugui's hand, put it in his own mouth, took a deep puff, and exhaled three thick white smoke rings in succession.

"You seem to be in a good mood." Bai Fugui turned around and leaned on the guardrail: "Have you found Zhao You?"

"Found it." The porter took a deep breath to clear the smoke from his lungs and said, "When Wu Tong died, I confirmed it at the Yin family's ancestral home. Zhao You is on Zi Qian."

"Are you sure?" Bai Fugui asked with a frown.

"I'm absolutely sure." The porter exhaled a puff of gray-blue mist and said in a hoarse voice, "He entered the Juxian Garden with Xiaolan. Xiaolan helped him avoid the impact of bad luck twice, but after that... they never suffered bad luck again."

"So that's how it is." Bai Fugui nodded.

He knew Lan Shiwen inside and out. Xiaolan could not have the ability to fight against bad luck, so the rules to offset bad luck undoubtedly lay with Ziqian.

The only rules related to "luck" that Yu Ziqian could access were summons.

"The person who cracked the special concession in Bishuiwan Manor and the person who took Zhaoyou away in Hejia Village are the same person. Yu Ziqian killed this person and occupied two rules at once." The porter flicked the burnt cigarette butt into the endless night sky and said leisurely: "Greed is insatiable. The snake swallows the elephant."

Bai Fugui nodded in agreement: "He may have forgotten that he was once on the verge of death due to Ye Yao's old injury."

Any upgraded person who has some understanding will not rashly control other rules that are not in line with the existing rules. If Yu Ziqian is sensible, he should stop while he is ahead after getting the "special concession" that he urgently needs, instead of being greedy and taking Zhao You away as well.

"What a shame, what a shame..." The porter clicked his tongue twice: "Yu Ziqian, ah Yu Ziqian... aren't you forcing me to kill you?"

"Don't be too conceited." Bai Fugui sighed: "Yu Ziqian is not a simple guy. As far as I know, in addition to Ye Yao, he also possesses a rule that can manipulate people's cognition. I don't know when and where he got it. I have never been able to find relevant information."

"I know my limits." The porter shrugged. "I won't act rashly before I find out all his rules."

There is no shortage of cases in the upgrader circle where confident veterans are killed by novices. If a player rushes into a solo attack without knowing the opponent's background, no matter how experienced and sophisticated the upgrader is, there is a chance that he will fail.

He won't make such a mistake.

"So I have to ask for your help, Tu Yu." The porter continued, "Use your channels to help me investigate Yu Ziqian's background. It would be best if we could find out what the rules of his ability to manipulate cognition and thoughts are."

Rules that can influence thoughts and instant death rules are both extremely rare rules.

"You should first pay the balance of the money you asked me to help you with last time." Bai Fugui said expressionlessly.

"You look so strange when you talk about money."

"We didn't know each other very well."

"..." The two chatted for a while, and finally discussed the cooperation.

The bleak night wind blew across the sky above Yundu City, and beneath the tall buildings was a pool of intoxicating flashing neon lights.

In a lively or bustling city, some people are dancing, some are singing, some are still working, some are preparing to start their nightlife, and some have gone to bed early, curled up in their beds and having strange nightmares.

Bai Zhi closed her eyes, and an old loess brick wall next to her came into view.

The visibility around was not high, and the wooden and tiled houses were looming in the haze. At the end of the field of vision was a deep gray sky, as if a thick dark cloud was pouring down from the sky like a waterfall, swallowing up the people on the ground.

"I had a nightmare again..." Bai Zhi took two cautious steps forward. A long black shadow in front of her gradually became clearer. She saw that it was a coffin.

A black coffin was placed next to a residential building, with a simple thatched shed built against the wall to provide some cover. It looked like the coffin was simply abandoned in the wilderness. Would anyone really place a coffin next to their home?

According to conventional thinking, coffins always represent death and are associated with danger. Bai Zhi did not dare to approach the black coffin in the shed and turned to walk in another direction.

But after walking a few steps, another coffin faded out of the haze and appeared before her eyes.

This time it was a brown-black coffin, slightly shorter than the previous black coffin. It was also placed casually next to a private house and covered by a simple shed. It was exactly the same.

A cold fear emerged in her heart, and subconsciously, Bai Zhi felt that she should not get close to the coffins in the straw huts.

1. Don’t watch
2. Don’t listen
3. Don’t smell
4. Don’t touch
5. Don’t think
6. Don’t let it find you…

To know is to know, and to know is not to know. Those who do not know are not guilty.

"What is going on?" One thing after another began to emerge from Bai Zhi's subconscious mind, making her very confused.

This was not the first time she had dreamed of strange events. In the past, after being caught in a dream, she would instinctively know some precautions that should not be touched. As long as she followed them honestly, it would not be difficult to wait until she woke up safely.

But this time, the 'survival guide' she got was so bizarre...

You can’t see, you can’t hear, you can’t smell, you can’t touch, you can’t even think about it, and you can’t let it know you?

No clue, absolutely no clue.

Baizhi's heart was pounding. A bright light gradually rose in the sky above her head. It seemed that the sun had come out, and the fog around her also faded a little.

As visibility improved, Bai Zhi looked around and saw that she was standing at the intersection of a yellow dirt road, with dusty and straight roads in front, behind, and on both sides.

No matter which side of the crossroad you look from, all you can see are rows of earthen brick and tile houses sitting together to form a street. Every two or three houses, you can see coffins casually placed in the open air in front of and behind the houses. Some coffins are even displayed directly on a shelf on the side of the road, without even a shed to protect them from the rain.

"Where exactly is this place and what exactly happened?"

As soon as Bai Zhi felt curious, she quickly suppressed it. She still remembered the taboo of "not even thinking about it". Being curious here was probably not a good thing.
