I've Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?

"Let's see." Xu Ziyan was also helpless, without enough information, there was no way to deduce how to break the trap.

The two sat on the second floor of the inn, looking out of the window boredly. At the moment when night fell, an unknown change suddenly took place in the entire Jiangnan water town.

The originally colorful world seems to be forcibly erased by someone at this moment, leaving only the dim black and white intertwined...

"What's going on here?" Xu Ziyan looked out of the window in shock, the sky that was originally black was now foggy and white, and the night just now seemed to be his hallucination.In the blink of an eye, the night has become what it is now.

"Brother..." Xu Zirong called softly, and pointed to the first floor of the inn.

I saw the shopkeeper in the lobby on the first floor stretching his waist slowly, and his original simple and honest appearance melted away from him like a candle in flames.

After a while, a pale skeleton stood behind the counter, shaking its head and making a cracking sound, and then two blue flames suddenly ignited in the empty eye sockets, and the man yelled at the waiter in the store : "It's time, hurry up and change the lantern."

The kid in the store is also a skeleton, and the fireworks lit in his eye sockets are obviously smaller than those of the boss. Hehe agreed, put the towel on his shoulders, and then carried a soul-calling banner, and turned the original restaurant The signboard of the inn has been changed.

Xu Ziyan: ... the rhythm of entering a ghost town in one second!What about the promised water town in the south of the Yangtze River?In the blink of an eye, what does it mean to have a room full of zombies and skeletons?

Xu Zirong glanced around calmly, the only few tables of guests on the second floor also changed their appearance, most of them were skeleton zombies, and there were a few who looked like normal people, but their tails occasionally appeared behind them, And the foot-long tongue that sticks out from time to time is enough to prove their inhuman status.

The skeleton boy hurried to the second floor after changing the spirit-calling banner. Originally, Xu Ziyan thought that he would still be ignored, but he didn't expect the other party to wipe the table for them with a rag, and asked with a smile: " What do you two guests want? The thousand-year-old foxtail in our store has just matured, and it is especially effective for you humanoid spirits."

Xu Ziyan: ...

Xu Zirong glanced at the waiter with a half-smile, the waiter's heart felt chilled by the look, he shrunk his neck unconsciously, straightened his back and said: "Actually, the drunk spring breeze in our shop is also very good. The effect is no better than that of foxtail grass, and the taste is mellow, which is a must in this shop!"

Xu Ziyan didn't speak, and took a look at Xu Zirong, and saw that the skeleton boy was a bully. At this time, Xu Zirong's cold face could always give people a queen-like aura, which was very useful.

Xu Zirong knocked on the table, and said casually: "Come to an altar. Is there anything good here?"

The waiter hurriedly mentioned several special dishes in the store one by one. When Xu Zirong heard it, they were all good things, but...

He raised his hand and interrupted Xiao Er's sales: "It's our first time here, so let's bring up all the good things, but..." He paused for a moment, and smiled kindly: "What do you use to pay here? stone?"

Xiaoer nodded again and again: "I collect, not only collect Lingshi, but also all kinds of Tiancaidibao small shops have a uniform price. If the guest officer needs to buy other things, the small shop can also run errands for you. Both of you When I first came to my ghost Jiangnan, I must want to buy some special products, as long as you can afford Lingshi, there are many good things in our small town."

Xu Zirong nodded when he heard the words, and dismissed him casually. After a while, there were a few side dishes and a pot of drunkenness on their table.

Xu Ziyan opened the wine jar and smelled it. The aroma of the wine was rich and very attractive, and the side dishes on the table looked extraordinarily delicious.

He swallowed hard, suppressing the desire to take a bite.

This town is so weird, he didn't dare to eat the food here before he figured out the situation here.

"Brother, everyone in this state can see us now." Xu Zirong said in a low voice.

Xu Ziyan glanced around casually, and found that the zombie skeletons around were all salivating at them—the food and drink on the table.

Xu Ziyan looked around casually, and happened to see a skeleton downstairs with half a leg bone missing, squatting at the door of the inn to beg, and occasionally a ghost passing by would throw a coin or two.

Several other guests on the second floor have begun to continue their own topics. Two guests with weasel heads are feeling that the recent business is getting worse and worse. A skeleton and a zombie next door are discussing The homework assigned to them by the master in the academy was too difficult.

Because of his cultivation, Xu Ziyan could hear a group of thick, rock-like monsters downstairs complaining, and there were a few new monsters who resisted the package at the pier, always robbing them of their business.

Seeing such a group of demons and ghosts begging for life like ordinary people, Xu Ziyan felt a strong sense of disobedience.If he closed his eyes and didn't look at their appearance, Xu Ziyan would definitely believe that they were a group of ordinary people struggling to survive.

The question now is, why do these monsters live such a completely ordinary life?

"Xiao Er, call the beggar downstairs." Xu Ziyan ordered, and although the skeleton Xiao Er was puzzled, he obediently obeyed.

The lame skeleton looked a little timid after it came up, it looked no different from a real beggar, Xu Ziyan even felt that maybe they didn't know that they were monsters at all, but regarded themselves as pure ordinary people .

Xu Ziyan chatted with the beggar skeleton very kindly, and thoughtfully gave him all the dishes he ordered.

Beggar Skeleton was very pleasantly surprised, and regarded him as a good person, and answered Xu Ziyan's various questions while eating hazelnuts.

From the beggar's mouth, Xu Ziyan actually got a lot of news. Compared with poor communication and purposeless eavesdropping during the day, this kind of targeted questioning is obviously more efficient.

This small town with only one street is called Ghost Jiangnan. It is a very "ordinary" town. People living here work from sunrise to sunset, living an extremely "ordinary" life.

The beggar himself didn't know how long he had lived here, he only knew that he had been begging here for a long, long time ago.

If there is anything extraordinary about this small town, it is only the ghost sacrifice that the beggar inadvertently mentioned will be held in two days.

Xu Ziyan sent the beggar away, and opened a guest room with the skeleton boy. When he went to the guest room, he knocked on the door of Tianle's room, but unfortunately there was no response, so Xu Ziyan had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​reuniting with the other party. .

When he was about to enter the room, Xu Ziyan vaguely heard someone calling his name, but he looked around, and there was no one else except Xu Zirong.

He suspected that he heard it wrong, but he remembered Tianle's reaction during the day, and his heart suddenly moved. After returning to the room, he said to the air: "Tianle? Is it you? If you want, make some noise."

Bang!

The stool next to the table was accidentally touched and fell to the ground. Xu Ziyan was overjoyed, knowing that this was probably Tianle's response.

He thought about it for a while, and accidentally saw the teapot on the table, his mind lit up, and he quickly spilled tea on the table.

Soon, an invisible finger dipped in the tea and wrote a few words on the table: "What the hell is going on?"

Seeing this, Xu Ziyan couldn't help laughing. Although they and Tianle couldn't see each other now, they could communicate with each other using this method.

In this weird place, multiple people can provide multiple assistance. As long as the two sides can communicate, at least in terms of intelligence collection, they can be compared.

Xu Ziyan was able to speak, so he quickly told what he and Xu Zirong had discovered. Tianle also used the tea on the table to communicate with them the news he had found out.

After summarizing the information obtained by the two parties, the key word "ghost sacrifice" was highlighted.

"In three days, it will be the Ghost Festival. I think that should be an opportunity for us to leave here, but our current information is not complete, so it is best to collect more." He said to Tianle: "Tomorrow during the day you Walking around, we must focus on inquiring about some news about this ghost festival, I always feel that this is not easy, and..." Xu Ziyan suddenly thought of something, and quickly said: "Go to the pier tomorrow to see, although these people incarnate at night Monsters, but they still continue their daytime life, just now I heard them downstairs saying that a group of new people have arrived, since they are new arrivals, they must not be from the original town, you go find out."

Tianle nodded, and then realized that the other party couldn't see her, so she wrote on the table to show that she understood.

Xu Ziyan thought about the news they had received again, and found that there was nothing more to analyze, so he sent Tianle away.Now he is a mortal body, after such an afternoon of tossing, he feels a little tired.

Fortunately, Xu Zirong had refined some arrays before, as long as they were powered by spirit stones, they could perform basic defense. Otherwise, in such a ghost place, Xu Ziyan was really worried that if he fell asleep, he would never wake up again.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Xu Ziyan became an 'invisible person' again.

He took Xu Ziyan to investigate around, but mainly focused on the square where the ghost sacrifice was about to be held.

The square is located in the center of the small town (small street), very close to the inn, and it takes only a few minutes to walk there. But for some reason, the square is extremely deserted. Even if people pass by, they just pass by in a hurry. No one dares to stay here at all.

There is a big tree in the center of the square, which looks old. Under the tree is an altar made of stones, which is not big enough to accommodate a person lying flat on it.
