The stone brick floor has returned to its previous appearance, except that a hole half a meter wide has appeared in the place where the mine has just laid.

Another illusion.

I frowned, put the mine aside, grabbed the wire, and pulled it out of the ground bit by bit.

It is a very soft steel wire, about the same thickness as the thread used to knit sweaters, and it is soaked in oil and very slippery to the touch.

It took me a lot of effort to pull the line completely off the ground, and it was on the other end of the wire, and there was still a small amount of blood sticking to it.

It is estimated that when I pulled the yang line just now, the other party didn't eat my strength, and the steel wire ran along the palm of my hand, cutting the skin and flesh.

Li Huaishan's footsteps came from behind me, and when I looked back at him, he pursed his lips and shook his head at me.

Like last time, there was no one in the alley.

Li Huaishan came up to me, looked at the steel wire in my hand, and immediately frowned: "Where did the steel wire come from?" ”

I pointed to the mine's ankle: "Someone tried to drag him away." ”

Li Huaishan picked up the other end of the tightrope and looked at it carefully, and asked me, "Is this human blood?" ”

I nodded: "It should smell of human blood." ”

At this time, the mine was curled up on the ground and shivering, I threw the wire in my hand, squatted down, rolled his eyelids, this guy is fine, his pupils can still focus, but he is too nervous, he can't speak for a while, he just stares at me in a daze.

I raised my chin at the mine: "You, the old cat, and the mosquito, it's not the first time you've come to this village, are you?" ”

The mine shrunk his shoulders and stared at me, the corners of his mouth twitching, and he couldn't speak for a while.

I stood up and looked around the yard for a moment, then walked over to my backpack and took out cinnabar and aged rice from it, mixed them together, and sprinkled them all over the four corners of the yard.

Li Huaishan stood guard at the gate of the courtyard, not daring to leave for a moment, staring at the mines and a few of them.

It wasn't until I returned to Li Huaishan's side that he asked me, "Where have they ever been here?" ”

I looked at him and said in a very small voice: "The art of war, the soldier, the trick, the strange is born together." ”

Li Huaishan looked at me blankly: "What kind of nerves do you have, the answer is not what you asked." ”

I sighed in my heart, raised my voice slightly, and asked him: "If you were a murderer, what kind of person would you pick first?" ”

Li Huaishan frowned and pondered for a long time before saying, "If I say, I must find a soft persimmon to pinch first." ”

As he spoke, he set his eyes on Mia and Little September.

That's right, among all of them, the easiest to be recruited are these two girls, Xiao Jiu has a wide heart, belongs to the kind of person who forgets the pain after the scar is good, and it is easier to relax his vigilance, Mia is timid, and it is easy to mess up, if I were the murderer, I would also pick the two of them first.

But the first person to be killed turned out to be the most calm old cat, and the second person who was recruited was the burly mosquito in the team.

But his movement seems to be completely irregular, and after the mosquitoes go missing, he sets his sights on unconscious mines.

In my opinion, there is indeed no law for the other party to do it, but the so-called soldier is sophistical, and I must create a law for him.

I said to Li Huaishan: "The other party kills people, it seems that there is no law to follow, but I always feel that he seems to be looking for revenge." ”

Li Huaishan looked puzzled: "Looking for revenge? ”

I nodded, "We can assume that there were some people in this squad who came early in the morning and did something unspeakable, like killing someone, or something. Now that they have revisited their hometown, the other party has also come back to seek revenge. It's just that the other party killed people in front of so many people, and if I were him, well, I have no reason to let the witnesses present leave alive. ”

Li Huaishan followed my meaning and said the rest of the words: "Everyone will die? ”

I let out a long breath and was noncommittal.

This is the biggest lie I've ever told in my life, but if you look into it, you can't assume that it's a lie, after all, I also said it, it's just a hypothesis.

As for whether such an assumption is valid, I think it probably does not hold.

Sometimes, however, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional, and no one can tell what it means when it reaches the ears of others.

As I spoke, the mine stared at me with wide eyes, and after a brief silence, the Grasshopper and the Fat Sea became agitated.

Fat Dahai pointed to the nose of the mine and shouted: "It's all because of you, and we will suffer too!" ”

The grasshopper could still maintain a little demeanor, and asked the mine with a frown: "You and the old cat have been here before, why didn't the old cat tell me?" Landmines, you and the old cat...... What the hell did you do? ”

After the fright just now, the mine was so nervous that he couldn't speak, but kept turning his gaze, his eyes wandering over the gnats and the fat sea.

I felt that the effect had been achieved, so I waved at the grasshopper and the fat sea: "Okay, don't embarrass him for the two of you, think about how to save your life." ”

The grasshopper turned back to me and asked me pleadingly, "Can you ...... But how do we ......, you will definitely be able to save us, I know, you are a capable person. ”

I smiled wryly at him: "If you can save one, count it as one, my ability is also limited." ”

It's the truth.

The grasshopper swallowed and opened its mouth again, but did not say a word.

Fat Dahai shook his hand and slammed his backpack on the ground, gritted his teeth hard, and sat on the ground and fell silent.

When the gnats and the fat sea yelled at the mines, Mia and Xiao Jiu just buried their heads in crying and didn't say a word.

To say, they can come to this place completely thanks to the "blessing" of the mines, if the mines don't want to soak them, they just want to come, and it is estimated that they will not be able to pass the level of the old cat.

Since they were dragged into the water by a landmine, they have not said anything so far, which is not in line with their personality.

You must know that along the way, it is the two of them who often complain that the mountain roads are difficult to walk and the luggage is heavy.

Li Huaishan always noticed the abnormality one step behind me, he leaned towards me a little, and asked me in a low voice, "What's the matter with these two girls?" ”

I waved my hand at Li Huaishan, signaling him not to talk too much, and then asked him, "Did you see it just now?" ”

Li Huaishan: "What do you see?" ”

I pointed to the hole next to the mine: "The ground has sunk in its entirety. ”

Li Huaishan frowned and said, "Of course I saw it, it's an illusion, right?" ”

I nodded: "Everyone sees the same vision, which means that someone has arranged a maze in the village in advance." I cast a spell in the courtyard, and the next time the other party makes a move, we should be able to catch him. ”

I did cast a spell in the yard, but cinnabar and old rice can only form a shallow Qi field to stabilize everyone's minds, but this simple mind-nourishing technique can't break the illusion, after all, I don't even know what kind of array the other party is arranged, and I still break a fart!

But it's still the same sentence, the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, if nothing else, in this courtyard, a few people will soon show their feet.

Now all I have to do is wait.

Li Huaishan probably didn't understand my intentions, and asked me more: "Oh, that is, there won't be any more dead people, right?" ”

I gave him a blank look: "Not necessarily. ”

Speaking of which, the reason why I was able to confirm the presence of ghosts in the team was because of the mosquitoes' sleeping bags.

The hole was just below the sleeping bag, and when the mosquito was pulled into the ground, the sleeping bag would not have been properly laid out in place, and someone quickly put the sleeping bag in its original place when he disappeared.

To put it bluntly, our opponent seems to be very smart, but in fact he can only be regarded as a stupid thief, and this act of tidying up the sleeping bag is completely a snake painting, maybe he wants to delay time to prevent Li Huaishan and I from discovering the hole before the mosquitoes are pulled out of the tunnel.

But the problem is that there is already such a lesson from the old cat, when in the old cat's tent, there was also a hole of the same size, and the mosquitoes disappeared, and Li Huaishan's first reaction must be to check the ground, and it is useless to block it with a sleeping bag.

Such a simple truth, it is estimated that even a fool can figure it out, but the other party fell into the pit he dug in a daze, so they are stupid thieves.

However, these people are stupid and very clever, so they should be treated with caution.

Time passed little by little, the grasshopper deliberately leaned towards the gate of the courtyard, striving to get closer to me and Li Huaishan, the mine sat on the ground in a daze, and the fat sea stood in place, glaring at him angrily, Mia and Xiao Jiu still buried their heads in their knees, silent.

I waited a little impatiently, so I stood up straight, stretched my waist, and said to Li Huaishan: "The other party should be about to act, and his eyes are bright." ”

When I speak, I try to keep my voice to a size that everyone else can hear.

Li Huaishan was stunned and asked me, "How do you know that the other party is about to act?" ”

I raised my chin towards the corner of the courtyard: "Look, cinnabar has jumped." ”

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the heaven and earth Qi field abruptly changed, and the cinnabar and Chen rice I arranged in the yard were alarmed and jumped gently, which is the characteristic of the old man's Chen rice, they can change when the heaven and earth Qi mutate, as for the cinnabar, it was completely brought up by Chen Mi.

It's just that this characteristic of Chen Mi is only known to people within the family.

In the afterglow, I saw Mia and Little September raise their heads at the same time, looking at the constantly beating cinnabar in the corner of the courtyard.

At this moment, Xiao September suddenly "Ah!" screamed, and quickly got up, looking at the ground behind him, Mia rushed directly to the courtyard gate, Fat Dahai was slightly stunned, and also followed Mia's footsteps and rushed towards the courtyard gate.

The net has long been spread for them, and now it's time to collect the fish.
