Chapter 102 Brother, I listen to you
There was something sinister in Lao Cao's answer.
How could it be possible to fulfill the prerequisite that one could only leave if 'the young lady was satisfied'?
You have to know that women's hearts are as unfathomable as the sea, let alone a female ghost.
Who knows what she wants?
Could it be that he really went over and said, "Miss, go ahead and kill me, kill me until you are satisfied, kill me to your heart's content"?
What if she kills everyone and still isn't satisfied?
Therefore, this seemingly conditional situation is actually more difficult to achieve.
Because whether she is satisfied or not depends entirely on what the female ghost says.
"Okay, I answered your question, but you can't leave. If you want to leave, you have to beat me again." Lao Cao was obviously a heavy fan of grass fighting. At this time, he pulled another one from under his butt, and this time it was not like he pulled it randomly like last time, but he carefully selected it.
It can be seen that Lao Cao is serious.
Luo Xi chose more seriously, and said, "How about you move aside, Lao Cao? You sit here, it will be hard for me to choose."
As expected, Lao Cao didn't respond.
Luo Xi has also made his choice.
Keep comparing.
slap~
What was broken was still Lao Cao's grass stem.
"Damn it~" Lao Cao swore rarely and angrily threw the broken grass stem far away.
After all, we lost twice in a row.
"Go away!" Although Lao Cao was angry, he abided by the rules and kept his integrity.
"I won't leave. I still have questions." Luo Xi smiled and said, "Old Cao, what else do you know about that young lady? Tell me."
"You're dreaming. You can only ask me one question, but you want to use one question to squeeze out everything I know? Do you think I'm a fool?" Lao Cao sneered, "You can't ask questions like that. You have to be more specific."
"I understand!" Luo Xi was somewhat helpless, but the more Lao Cao was fussy, the more "inside information" this old ghost knew, so he immediately asked: "What can I do to satisfy the young lady?"
"That's too much. Let me give you an example. You can help her get revenge. You know, she died unjustly, and she's pregnant. The resentment she has, hehe, just imagine how great and terrible it must be." Lao Cao still liked to tease. He seemed to really like seeing others suffer and struggle, and fall into despair.
"Did you consider that you answered just now?" Luo Xi asked.
"What else?" Lao Cao said proudly.
"Okay!" Luo Xi sighed: "Lao Cao, let's continue the competition!"
This time, Lao Cao was not in a hurry, but said, "You choose first this time."
It can be seen that he is not as confident as before.
"Okay!" Luo Xi didn't act pretentiously. He searched carefully under Lao Cao's butt. Then, he did something that stunned everyone and made everyone applaud.
He pushed Lao Cao aside and pulled out all the plantain.
Not a single one left.
"Fuck your mother." Lao Cao was anxious. He never expected that Luo Xi would do such a thing.
Luo Xi was not afraid at all and retorted: "Your rules don't say that we can't pull out all the grass. Not to mention the grass over here, I want to pull out all the grass over there too. Um, Hou Cheng, don't just stand there and help pull it out. Don't you want to win?"
In one sentence, everyone reacted and started pulling out the weeds.
Lao Cao began to tremble.
Of course, he was definitely not afraid, but most likely angry.
"I have never seen such shamelessness." Lao Cao cursed in his heart.
But he couldn't stop it.
This is indeed not a violation.
Since he can sit on the toughest kind of grass, it is not a foul for others to pull out all the tough grass.
"Leave some, the kind that are not tough. Yes, we have to give Lao Cao some to pull out, otherwise how can I continue to compete with him in weeding later." Luo Xi was like a supervisor, staring at the others working hard.
At this time, Hou Cheng was completely convinced.
Although the hooded man didn't say anything, judging from his hard-working behavior, he had no intention of rejecting Luo Xi's orders.
This is the leader effect.
When something like "breaking the window" is truly accomplished, the person who breaks the window will naturally become the leader of a team.
In the end, the grass and trees were almost completely "cleared".
That was really a clean pull.
Much cleaner and more thorough than using a razor.
A handful of grass was also left.
But this is the least tough kind, reserved for Lao Cao.
If he continues to fight with grass, he can only pull the ones here, he has no choice.
At this time, Lao Cao had a low voice and his back looked a little lonely. It seemed that he was more hunched than before and looked very bleak.
"Come on, Lao Cao, I've finished pulling them, it's your turn." Luo Xi held a handful of 'carefully selected' plantain in his hand, but Lao Cao didn't move. Apparently, it was meaningless to continue fighting over the grass.
He can't win.
Not to mention Luo Xi, he can't beat anyone else.
This has become a losing battle.
Since we are bound to lose, what's the point of playing football?
"Ask whatever you want to ask. After you're done, I have to go back." Lao Cao's voice was lonely and unwilling, and even sounded a little pitiful.
"What exactly can we do to satisfy the young lady?" Luo Xi asked directly without any hesitation.
"I told you, there are many, but I only know one, and that is to avenge her. She died in vain, so she is very resentful." Lao Cao said in a low voice.
"But as far as I know, she actually fell to her death. Even if she was resentful because her stepmother did not treat her, she had already killed the lady and a monk who was chanting sutras."
"Not enough. The person she hates the most is still alive."
"Who does she hate the most?"
"I don't know about that. This is all I know about the eldest lady. If you ask me about the rest, I won't be able to give you an answer!" Lao Cao's voice was very calm.
Luo Xi believed that Lao Cao did not lie or hide anything.
Because according to the setting of this 'Fighting Grass' mini-game, after he loses, he can only answer questions and is not allowed to lie or conceal anything.
"So, can the 'Nirvana Mantra' and 'Buddha Beads' obtained from the scene restrain the young lady?" Luo Xi asked.
These two props appear in the mourning hall and they must have their uses.
"What do you think? If the young lady can be restrained, can the chanting monk be killed by her?" Lao Cao said with a smile in his tone.
He seemed to be happy again, probably because he saw Luo Xi encountered a problem and he hoped that he couldn't solve it. In short, he was happy when others were in pain.
"Are you afraid?" Luo Xi took out the scripture of Rebirth Mantra at this time.
"Me? Oh, a little bit."
"Not counting you, how many ghosts are there here?"
"three!"
"Among these three, one is the eldest lady, one is the pavilion ghost in the garden, and the other should be the ghost in the boudoir that Hou Cheng and the others encountered before. The eldest lady is not afraid of these two things, but you are a little afraid of them. Then are you afraid of the other two ghosts?"
"How would I know? I'm not them," said Lao Cao.
"Then let me ask it another way. Are they better, or are you better?"
"Of course I'm better." Lao Cao said, and immediately reacted.
This is a very accurate answer to the previous question.
Next, Luo Xi tried to extract as much information as possible from Lao Cao. Lao Cao could only answer that he didn't want to fight anymore and just wanted Luo Xi to let him go.
"Okay, I have no problem. Thank you for your cooperation, Lao Cao, you can go now. I look forward to seeing you next time." Luo Xi said very seriously, with reluctance in his tone, and even a kind of sadness when parting with an old friend.
"Stop talking nonsense. I don't want to meet you again." Lao Cao cursed and disappeared without a trace in the next second.
It's as if it had never appeared.
After Lao Cao left, the original gloomy and terrifying feeling of this small courtyard was weakened a lot. At least when you are in it, you don’t feel such oppression anymore.
Everything seems to be fine.
But the three cold bodies lying on the ground reminded everyone how horrible and dangerous everything that had just happened was.
At this moment, Hou Cheng collapsed to the ground.
Not only him, but everyone here felt like they had survived a disaster.
Luo Xi then walked towards Hou Cheng and the hooded man.
The two also looked at Luo Xi.
Hou Cheng suddenly said, "Brother, don't say anything. I will listen to you from now on. If you can really pass the level, I won't fight for the numbered card. It's yours."
I have to say that Hou Cheng is a smart man.
He knew very well that all the people he brought with him had died so far. One died in the mourning hall, one died in the eldest lady's boudoir, and three more died in the scene of the fierce ghost Lao Cao fighting with grass.
Now he is just a commander without any troops.
Where is it possible to continue to have the right to speak?
After all, it is impossible for the remaining people to listen to him.
More importantly, he knew that Luo Xi was no ordinary person. This person was stronger than him in every aspect, and not just a little bit stronger.
Take the matter of fighting for grass for example. Thinking about it afterwards, it seemed that he could also think of the method used by Luo Xi, and it was not difficult or complicated. But the problem was, being in the situation, under the pressure of death, dominated by fear and despair, who could calm down and think of a solution?
Have no idea.
But Luo Xi figured it out.
Moreover, he is really brave, and even evil spirits can be broken by his training.
He had preserved his memory for such a long time and had experienced many cycle days, but this was the first time he had seen such a thing.
Eye-opening!
Hou Cheng knew very well that if he wanted to pass the level and get the reward, he could only listen to Luo Xi.
There is no other way.
Rather than letting others threaten, coerce, or even kill you to silence you, it is better to take the initiative to admit your mistake and surrender, so that you can get lenient treatment.
Luo Xi nodded, indicating his approval.
He looked at the hooded man.
The latter also shuddered, but although he was not good at speaking, he was not a fool.
"Captain, why are you looking at me? Just tell me what you want me to do."
"very good!"
Luo Xi did have the thought of killing someone, because in order to pass the level, he had to ensure that the Shiyi people would not cause internal strife, and that they would enforce discipline. Only in this way could they be a combat-ready team.
Any bad apple can spoil the whole pot of soup.
But at the moment, these two people are very sensible, and Luo Xi analyzed that the reason why this scene has a ten-person mode is that perhaps there will be some invisible "restrictions" and constraints on the number of people, or even some kind of mini-game that must have enough people to start.
So, keep it.
"Where is the boudoir where you encountered the ghost before? Take me there."
"What? You want to go? That place is very dangerous." Hou Cheng said immediately.
The hooded man next to him also nodded: "That ghost is elusive and will hang people with a white silk."
"Yes, that's how Zhou Fang died. If we go back now, his body is still hanging there."
"I said, take me there." Luo Xi frowned.
At this, Hou Cheng and the hooded man were startled.
It was obvious that Luo Xi was not discussing with them just now.
That's an order.
"it is good!"
This time, the two did not comment again.
But this time on the road, everyone was not as nervous as before.
Because I just got a very important clue from the grass fighting ghost Lao Cao.
That is, there are only four ghosts in this scene.
"Here, ghosts represent danger. Conversely, places without ghosts are relatively safer. The design of any scene mostly follows the theory that 'danger' and 'opportunity' coexist, that is, the key to passing the level is hidden in the danger."
Luo Xi said on the way.
What he meant was that if you want to clear the level, you must look for clues, and the clues can only be hidden in the area where the 'ghost' is.
If you just keep avoiding danger, you will still not be able to pass the level normally in the end.
"What if we hide in a relatively safe place and waste time?" The person asking the question was Wu Rui. For her, 'hiding' has become an instinct. Otherwise, her card book ability would not be able to strengthen the hiding place.
"First of all, there is no point in doing that. Secondly, I speculate that this scene will change in some way. For example, you think that the young lady will only be in the mourning hall, but what if at some point she can come out? She can wander around and hunt down the people who remember her? How can she hide at that time? And how long can she hide?"
Hearing this, Wu Rui nodded.
But Wu Rui obviously had other small questions. She looked around, then tiptoed over and whispered, "Just now, when you were fighting with Lao Cao for the first time, you secretly pulled out a hair from me. Did you..."
"Shh!" Luo Xi made a gesture to indicate that he should not say anything.
Some things, it's enough to just know them in your heart.
When both sides use plantain stems, it is really hard to say who will win or lose.
Luo Xi did use some tricks to win two games in a row.
What Luo Xi understood was that beings like Lao Cao who were responsible for the game, whether they were humans or ghosts, had to abide by the rules.
You can cleverly mislead and design rules, but you can't cheat.
For example, Lao Cao can choose the types of plants and trees that grow where, and sit on the toughest plants, taking advantage of other people's fear and making them ignore the grass under him, but he must compete according to the rules.
In theory, both parties must abide by the rule of not cheating.
But as a memory collector, Luo Xi has an advantage, that is, if he cheats and is not discovered, it does not count as cheating.
Wu Rui smiled knowingly and understood immediately!
"We're here. Go through the alley in front and pass a door. The boudoir is inside. We came in from another way." Hou Cheng was leading the way and pointing to the alley in front.
"go!"
Hou Cheng had no choice but to move forward, with the hooded man following behind him, and behind him were Luo Xi, Wu Rui, Mao Ge, and Guo Zening who was holding the scholar hostage.
The latter was furious and tried to escape, reason and beg for mercy, but Luo Xi remained indifferent.
Regarding the scholar, Luo Xi didn't need to say anything, as everyone else knew that this person must be very important, otherwise, he would not appear in the scene, because, apart from the lady who died at the beginning, the lady's maid and the sutra-chanting master, this scholar could be said to be the only 'living person' in the entire level scene.
This alone shows how important he is.
After passing through the alley, there was indeed an open door. It can be said that the entire building is very exquisite, full of ancient charm, with carved beams and painted pillars, and every detail shows the heritage.
If it weren't for this scene, if the weather was better, then this house would definitely be suitable to be a tourist attraction.
The door was open, and after entering, there was a small courtyard, which was equally exquisite.
There are houses behind.
It looked a bit eerie, with the door of the house half-open, and it seemed as if gusts of cold wind were seeping out from inside.
Hou Cheng seemed a little hesitant here, he didn't dare to go in.
The hooded man came over and said, "The ghost is inside. Once you go in, you might be attacked."
Luo Xi looked at Brother Mao, who nodded solemnly.
Obviously, there is something fishy going on.
Luo Xi took out the Rebirth Mantra.
"The Rebirth Mantra and the Buddhist beads cannot deal with the young lady, but they can restrain other evil spirits in the scene. Maybe these two props are designed to do this. This explanation is reasonable, because if important clues and dangers are put together, there should be something to temporarily restrain the danger, otherwise it would be a dereliction of duty in the level scene design."
"This time, Wu Rui, Guo Zening, the two of you keep an eye on the scholar and wait outside. Brother Mao, you follow me. Hou Cheng, um... By the way, what's your name?" Luo Xi realized that he still didn't know the hooded man's name.
The moment is to look past.
The latter hurriedly said: "Ke Lan, my name is Ke Lan!"
"You and Hou Cheng will take the lead." Luo Xi said.
Obviously, Hou Cheng was very hesitant and afraid and didn't dare to go in. But Ke Lan, although also afraid, finally pushed the door and stepped in.
Hou Cheng had no choice but to follow, followed by Luo Xi and Liu Mao.
As soon as the four people entered, the door creaked and closed automatically.
Shocking.
"Wu Rui, do you think anything will happen?" Guo Zening asked in a low voice outside.
"If Luo Xi fails, I suggest that we both commit suicide immediately. After all, we have [memories]." Wu Rui said it very bluntly, but she added: "But I think Luo Xi will not fail. He will definitely succeed."
house.
When he heard the door close, Luo Xi knew it was the ghost here who did it.
Because Brother Mao can't close the store.
This was obviously the boudoir of a young lady from a wealthy family, with a suite. The place they were in was similar to a "living room", with a round table and an embroidered tablecloth on it, which was also exquisite, and there was also tea set.
There are also calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
She is also a young lady who likes reading and writing.
But at this moment, the room was pitch black, as if there was a ball of black fog hovering above it. At the same time, there were strands of white silk hanging down. When the door was opened just now, the wind blew in, causing the white silk to sway. After the door was closed, the silk slowly stopped moving.
