In a foreign city, Xia Le stood on the street and looked at the surrounding groups of blond people and the lively streets, with a touch of time in his eyes.

"It's finally out. It's been a whole year! I didn't expect there to be so many worlds in the paintings. ”

It's been a year since Xia Le entered the trick painting.

In this year, he discovered at least 200 sub-paintings of trickery, covering a total area of more than 100,000 square kilometers!

Among them, there are thousands of tricks!

Xia Le couldn't imagine which of the previous tricksters was so frustrated, able to create so many tricks, and imprison so many tricks.

He only knew that it should be a senior trickster dressed as a bride with a red hijab on his head, red embroidered shoes on his feet, and a red jade bracelet on his hand.

Because several tricks are depicted in this way.

Now, Xia Le has spent a year not only mastering the trick painting, but also has thousands of trick boys as his subordinates, mastering countless supernatural rules, and he is already full of confidence.

"Even if Luo Lao and Qin Lao go together, I won't lose now! No matter what tricks you have, I'll break them by myself! ”

Xia Le took out the satellite mobile phone issued by the headquarters that had not been charged for a year and had long been out of power.

"First of all, I have to go back to headquarters and see what the situation is."

He opened his treacherous realm and came to a mirror, and then his whole body jumped into it.

This is the supernatural puzzle piece that Xia Le captured from several mirror monsters, and finally integrated them into one.

Combining the power of the Trick Realm with the power of the Mirror Trick, Xia Le was able to move quickly through the mirror, and he could circle the earth in less than an hour.

Not long after, in the toilet of the Asian headquarters.

First a pale hand came out of the mirror hanging in the toilet, then the head, shoulders, waist, and whole body.

Standing in front of the mirror, Xia Le looked at his pale, almost bloodless self in the mirror, and frowned slightly.

In a year's time, Xia Le's previous body that had been transformed by deception was eroded by the supernatural again, and he changed from a sunny boy to a gloomy dead house who hadn't basked in the sun for several years.

"I've devoured so many tricks, and it's not for nothing that I have the ability to transform my body, but none of them have the effect of restoring my body to a normal human appearance. It seems that I have to go to Yang Jian again for a favor. ”

Coming out of the toilet, Xia Le went straight to Cao Yanhua's office, wanting to know what the situation was.

But halfway through, he met Qin Lao.

Compared with a year ago, Qin Lao is even older now, and his face and body are almost covered with old age spots.

He looked at Xia Le with a smile on his face.

"I thought someone had suddenly invaded the headquarters, but it turned out to be you. What, has the trickery been mastered by you? ”

Xia Le nodded slightly.

"I've gone around the world of trickery several times, and I've devoured all the sub-paintings, so I shouldn't have missed anything."

But Qin Lao gave Xia Le a different answer.

"Wrong. Trickery is just a puzzle, and the most important of them is actually the person who draws it. You've been in the trick before, and she can't find you. But now that you're out, she'll be coming to you right away. But with your current strength, you don't have to be afraid of her. ”

Speaking of this matter, Qin Lao didn't mind expanding to talk about it.

"Trick painting has always been Zhang Xiaozi's responsibility, and he has been working hard for almost thirty years, but he didn't expect it to be completed by you suddenly. We expect to be able to enter the world of treachery in the worst-case scenario, at least not to exterminate humanity. ”

"But now that you don't have to be so pessimistic. Starvation and treachery, at least suppressing this life is not a problem. After that, I'll leave it to you, the descendants of the next generation. I'm going to die anyway, and I can't do that much. ”

Hearing this, Xia Le was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Dying? Did you have any great tricks in the year I'm away? ”

Qin Lao smiled and shook his head slightly.

"It's not because of the trick, but my lifespan is approaching, those of us who were tricksters in the Republic of China period look powerful, but in fact, we all have a lifespan as a limit, and it's not a perfect way to control tricks. You have been in the trickery for a year, Luo Lao and Sister Meng have gone one after another, and I am almost dying, so I can only ask people to make a golden statue at the entrance of the headquarters and seal it in, to see if I can help you one last time. ”

"Luo Lao and Granny Meng have both passed away?"

Xia Le was really surprised when he heard this.

He walked out of the trickery with the mentality that Luo Lao was the mastermind behind the scenes, thinking that he would have a fight with him.

As a result, I didn't expect to get the news that the other party had passed away as soon as I came out.

Is this news true or fake?

Before he could ask, Qin Lao suddenly remembered something and said to Xia Le.

"The Yihu Lake in Taiping Town has been calm for a while after your suppression last time, and something has happened recently, and Minister Cao has asked several captains to deal with this matter. If you go now, it should be too late. ”

"The tablets of Luo Lao and Sister Meng were also sent to the ancestral hall, and there was also a chance to be invited out by the spiritualists. You might even be able to meet them. ”

Listening to Qin Lao's meaning, he hoped that Xia Le would go to Taiping Town.

Xia Le and Qin Lao glanced at each other a few times and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll go back."

Xia Le was not ambiguous, went back to the toilet directly, and used the ability of the mirror trick to shuttle again, and soon came to Taiping Town, among his own money villages.

After not coming back for a year, Xia Le thought that the money village might be full of dust, just like when he first came to the money village before.

But it was not what he expected.

When Xia Le appeared on the mirror in the bank, he saw the beautiful paper figure he bought holding a rag and cleaning the money village very diligently.

Seeing Xia Le, the beautiful paper figure nodded lightly, and did not put down the work in hand.

"Boss."

"Hmm."

Xia Le nodded towards the beautiful paper figure and glanced at the containers in the money house.

A few supernatural items from before he left were still on the container, not missing.

rummaging through the counter, Xia Le found his shopkeeper's robe that had been changed from a shroud and put it on his body.

That's a good thing worth ten bucks.

After that, Xia Le took out a cloth bag from his body.

The sack wasn't big, but he took out one supernatural item after another from it and placed them on the counter, almost filling the counter.

These are all supernatural items that Xia Le found from the trick paintings.

For the sake of longevity, he did not exchange these things for money, but intended to treat them as goods.

When everything was ready, he opened the door of the money village and opened the door to welcome customers.

On the streets of Taiping Ancient Town, when he heard the voice, Yang Jian, who had just returned the mask to the stall and got 3 yuan, turned his head sharply and looked at Xia Le.

Looking at Xia Le's appearance, Yang Jian was surprised.

"Charlot?"

"Yang Jian?"

Seeing this acquaintance, Xia Le had a smile on his face.

"I heard Qin Lao say that there are several captains to deal with the affairs of Yihu before, but I didn't expect you to be one of them. Did you take it with you? Lend it to me. Look at how I look now, not a ghost or a ghost. ”

"I didn't bring it."

In Xia Le's somewhat disappointed expression, Yang Jian shook his head slightly.

"You've always lived in this town? I heard that you used to deal with tricks, but now you're done? ”

Xia Le nodded.

"Yes, the sub-painting of the trick has been cleaned up by me, but Qin Lao said that this trick is just a puzzle. I've mastered trickery, and a fierce trick will come to me. ”

Hearing Xia Le say this, Yang Jian immediately remembered the room he saw in the old mansion of the Republic of China.

There was a boxy blank space on the wall, which was supposed to be a place to store the tricks.

Along with the trick paintings, there are tricky cupboards, tricky dressers, tricky beds, and the fiercest of all tricky brides.

So Xia Le was targeted by the tricky bride?

For Xia Le, who has mastered both tricks and starvation tricks, Yang Jian is not worried about him at all.

Although the tricky bride is very fierce, the trick has the ability to suppress it.

Once the tricky bride appears in front of Xia Le, I'm afraid it's like the eldest lady meeting the king of the mountain, and the whole trick will be packed and taken away.

Compared to this, Yang Jian was more concerned about this mission.

"Do you know what's going on here? Many rivers in the country have gone wrong, and even my city of Dachang has been affected. Previously, the headquarters asked the captain Cao Yang to deal with the supernatural events here, but he disappeared. ”

"I do know what it's all about. Things are serious here, and a single captain doesn't make a difference. ”

Xia Le also wants someone to help, otherwise it would be a bit difficult for him to go to the lake alone.

He didn't know if he would be able to get out after sinking into the lake, and he didn't plan to try it himself.

"Let the captains come along, I'll tell you about it, and then everyone will go and deal with it together."

Yang Jian pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

Compared to the fact that they were looking for clues like flies here, Xia Le, who was obviously a local, knew more things.

Soon, under his summons, the rest of the captains came to Xia Le's bank.

Ghost fire Li Jun, ghost makeup Ah Hong, Shen Lin, paper man Liu San, ghost eye Yang Jian.

When they saw Xia Le, they quickly remembered Xia Le's information in their minds.

"The person in charge of Zhongzhou City, the captain Xia Le, has mastered the starvation trick, the trick and at least one unknown trick. A year ago, he went to deal with the trick incident, and since then he has been in the trick and rarely appears. ”

The five of them looked inside the bank. Looking at the almost full range of goods on the container, Liu San was surprised.

"These are all supernatural items?"

When he saw the beautiful paper figure, his expression was even more surprised.

"This is also a paper man?"

Seeing that the business was coming, Xia Le introduced to a few people with a smile.

"I promise this cabinet is full of supernatural items. Now open a big reward, 3 yuan 2 pieces. Everyone relies on their eyesight, and there is no bullying for children. ”

"3 yuan for 2 pieces?"

Ah Hong was stunned, and then said suddenly.

"This shouldn't be ordinary money, right?"

At this time, Yang Jian also remembered that Xia Le had said before that he was willing to use tricks to buy his tricks.

He took out a green piece of paper money from his pocket and asked Xia Le.

"You're talking about this kind of trickery?"

"Yes, that's the kind of money."

Xia Le nodded happily.

"For 3 yuan, you can pick two things from me, which is twice as cheap as that paper shop."

I heard Xia Le say it before, and Yang Jian knew that tricky money was very important.

And there are too many supernatural items here, and no one knows if they will lose money based on their eyesight alone.

He put away the money and shook his head.

"Let's deal with paranormal events first. Xia Le, tell me what this supernatural incident is all about. ”

"Okay, then we'll deal with the incident first. Everyone talked as they walked. ”

Xia Le asked the beautiful paper man to look at the store, and walked towards the ferry with a few people.

Along the way, he explains the situation in the lake and why it is out of control.

"A lake in the midst of the supernatural, capable of imprisoning the mysteries, and the water of the lake has sunk into the mysteries? If you want to deal with the strange lake, you have to find a way to fish these tricks out of the lake? ”

Hearing Xia Le say this, the others felt very tricky.

First of all, they can't get into the lake.

Because once you enter the strange lake, you will be suppressed by the lake, lose your strange spirit, and become an ordinary person.

But the question is that if you don't enter the lake, how do you get out of the water that has sunk in the water?

Do you use fishing nets to catch them?

The group came to the ferry port and boarded the big black boat that Xia Le had ridden a year earlier.

Without the need for oars or wind, the boat drifted along the current, and it didn't take long for it to reach the ghost lake.

The ghost lake is full of water vapor and fog, and it is impossible to see clearly.

Ghost Fire Li Jun wanted to use ghost fire to illuminate the Quartet, but was stopped by Xia Le.

"Even I don't know the doorway of the strange lake, don't force yourself to come."

Xia Le asked Yang Jian.

"Yang Jian, I heard that your ghost domain is very strong, can you bring the ghosts below to the ship with the ghost domain? As long as you can send them in, I can suppress them. ”

Yang Jian held the golden spear in his hand and frowned slightly.

"I'll try."

The eyes on his forehead opened, and at the same time, his eyes also glowed red, opening up the five layers of ghost domains.

The five-layer ghost domain that emitted scarlet light poked towards the bottom of the ghost lake, and swept it gently like a fishing net, trying to bring out the treachery inside.

But it's a pity that with Yang Jian's movements, only some of the lake water fell on it, and it was sprinkled everywhere.

The attempt failed, Yang Jian said.

"No, I can't. This lake is a large strange realm. These tricks seem to be in the lake, but they are actually in the realm of tricks. There's no way I'm going to get them out. ”

"That's the problem."

Xia Le turned his head to look at the paper man Liu San and asked him.

"This Captain Liusan, can you use a few of your paper figures to pull your legs and try to pull out the tricks in the shallow lake?"

Hearing Xia Le say this, Shen Lin agreed.

"You can try this method."

Seeing that several other people also looked over, Liu San nodded dryly.

"Okay, I'll try."

He called out six paper figures, starting from the edge of the boat and reaching down like arhats, and the last paper figure slowly poked his arms into the lake.

Not long after the paper figure stepped into the lake, Liu San's face changed.

A strange man suddenly reached out and grabbed the paper man's hand, and climbed up the boat little by little along the paper man.

This seems to be just a signal.

Soon, a number of tricks surrounded him.

They showed their heads on the lake, and they all stared at the people on the boat with pale faces and expressionless faces.

"Come and help!"

Liu San asked his paper figures to climb up quickly, but these paper figures were grabbed by several tricks, not only could they not climb online, but they even had a tendency to be dragged into the lake.
