The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

"Who are you looking for?" the guard asked.

Just as Mu Hanxing was about to speak, Feng Xiao pulled her back, signaling her not to speak. He then stepped forward and said politely, "Hello, General. We are here in the city to listen to an opera. Please give us some convenience."

Mu Hanxing and Jingchen quietly observed the guard's condition. Sure enough, after hearing their purpose, the guard slowly opened the city gate from the inside.

Fortunately, Feng Xiao had stayed in the city for a few days in advance and knew the rules of the city. It seemed that he could not answer questions casually here. He estimated that if he answered incorrectly, he would have been driven out by the guards.

Here, it is impossible to kill them randomly without knowing the exact situation of these people in the city. Otherwise, all three of them would be considered to have violated a taboo. It seems that they can only follow the rules of the city for the time being.

After the city gate was opened, the strange feeling just now came to his mind again. Mu Hanxing calmed his mind and remained alert.

Several people walked slowly towards the city. The scene in front of them made Mu Hanxing and Jing Chen stunned. There were a large number of people walking on a long street in the center of the city. They were no different from ordinary people, buying and selling, strolling, chatting, and they were also wearing ordinary clothes, but everyone coming and going had a blank expression on their faces, and no one made a sound.

It was indeed as Feng Xiao said, a few of them gathered together, seemingly chatting, but no one was talking at all, they were just standing face to face.

It looked extremely weird, and it made one's scalp tingle.

It was not known whether this group of people could be approached for a conversation. Feng Xiao saw her doubts and said to her, "These people look very strange. If you ask them if there is anything strange in the city recently, they will say no. I have asked them all."

Mu Hanxing nodded and looked back. The guard who had been standing behind them just now had disappeared, and the city gate had been tightly closed from the outside without any sound.

She hurried back and tried to push the city gate, but there was no response. However, she could hear the sound of pushing. She used her spiritual power to sense it again and found that the gate was sealed by some special barrier. It was not easy to break it, but she did not plan to go out for the time being.

She asked Feng Xiao again: "It seems that there is no way out of this place. How did you get out of the city?"

Feng Xiao observed his surroundings and found that everything was the same as before. Everything was strangely "normal". He replied, "I'm not very good at the art of setting up barriers, so I tried to observe the city and figure out the rules. Besides what others said, if you don't follow the rules, you might be kicked out of the city. Another way is to find someone dressed as a guard and beg to go out of the city to buy goods. Then they will let you go. That's what I told the guard at the time. "

"What do you want to buy?" Jingchen asked.

“Shadow puppet materials.”

Mu Hanxing was startled, as if she understood something. She analyzed, "I think the sounds in this place are related to our 'thoughts', and all the safety methods are also related to shadow puppetry."

Jingchen followed her train of thought and continued, "In other words, the sound of the door opening we heard just now was because we felt that sound was necessary when the door was opened, so this sound 'existed'?"

I think, therefore I am. What a city of idealism.

"But it's unconscious. If we deliberately make something that we think should make a sound make a sound, there will be no reaction." She had just tried using her spiritual power and her thoughts, but the people facing each other still didn't speak.

"The city lord is so amazing. I didn't notice this problem before." Feng Xiao looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.

This made her face blush.

"I just checked the city gate, and there is indeed a barrier-like magic. However, this formation is quite complicated. I'm afraid, as you said, we need to destroy the center of the formation to completely destroy the strange phenomena in this city." Mu Hanxing guessed.

"What should we do now? Let the city lord tell us." Jingchen said.

In order to save time, Mu Hanxing decided to split the three people into three groups. She said, "How about this, we search around the city first. First, find the Orchid Grass to make an antidote for my junior master. Second, go find the disciples of the Questioning Heart Sect and Cui Ren. Third, find the center of the formation. I'll go find the center of the formation. How do you divide the remaining two?"

Jing Chen said, "I'll go look for the orchid grass. The city's medicine shops may have it. Young Master Feng has been to Wenxin Gate and seen the disciples' uniforms. He should be able to recognize it, right?"

Along the way, Feng Xiao had roughly heard about the Wenxin Sect. He was of course willing to help Mu Hanxing find Cui Ren. He had indeed seen the disciple uniforms of the Wenxin Sect, but he was just unwilling to listen to Jingchen. He then stared at Jingchen with a stern face and said nothing.

Mu Hanxing patted his arm and said, "Stop messing around. If you know any disciples of Wenxin Sect, go find them."

Feng Xiao immediately changed his expression and smiled: "Okay, then I'll go now."

"..."

She even suspected that the young master of the Phoenix clan was only five years old.

Too childish, but easy to appease and worry-free.

"Then we should meet up here before evening, regardless of whether we have found our target or not, to avoid being separated," she ordered again.

The two nodded.

After the discussion, the three of them split up into three groups and quickly left the place to look for their targets.

Fortunately, she had done some last-minute work before coming here, and she succeeded. She read a book of mental skills specifically for finding the eye of the formation in the secret book given by Tang Huanyun. However, for such a large city, the detection range was relatively small.

She couldn't waste her spiritual energy in vain, so she still needed to slowly explore the entire city and then narrow the scope to investigate.

Ultimately, she still needs to find the root cause of why the theater has become what it is now.

A person walked around the street cautiously. The houses, taverns, inns and other buildings in the city were no different from ordinary ones. She saw a father and son standing face to face. The father was holding a string of candied haws and half bent over to hand it to his son. The son took the candied haws with a slight smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, as if he was just smiling with a forced smile, which looked particularly creepy.

The father and son were laughing, as if they were chatting about family matters. Mu Hanxing still didn't hear their voices. The two of them were just laughing, not speaking.

Next to them, two girls came slowly, holding round fans. They were graceful and elegant, and smiled sweetly, but their smiles were not in their eyes. They looked like two puppet beauties walking towards them.

A man not far away had just got off a carriage. He looked like a well-dressed young man. As soon as he got off the carriage, he opened the folding fan in his hand with an upright posture and walked arrogantly into a gambling house on the street. The servants beside him nodded and followed him in.

She leaned over to listen; the gambling house was very quiet, with no sound of gamblers shouting at all.
