Panpan angrily pushed the pigtailed girl out of the room.
The boy with the pigtail stood in the yard in a panic, but he didn't dare to go out.
If he were not here, the next step would probably be to fall under Sister Song's knife or into a deep, isolated well.
Although the other players didn't know the inside story of the gender change, they guessed something from Xiaobianzi's expression. Although they were very disgusted with Xiaobianzi's previous behavior, they didn't have the habit of killing their teammates. They just scolded him verbally, but didn't actually take action to drive Xiaobianzi out.
Little Pigtail felt both grateful and guilty, and shrank carefully into the corner.
He walked to the corner and squatted, looked at his clothes, and suddenly stood up as if he had been electrocuted. He hurriedly took off the dazzling red clothes on his body.
Why is he still wearing this!
Only Panpan, Baili Xin and three others were left in the room.
After Panpan drove Xiaobianzi out, he glanced at the three people indifferently, "What else do you want?"
Baili Xin pondered for two seconds and took out a few books and notebooks from his backpack.
He found these in the deserted village.
He handed a few tattered notebooks to Panpan and said, "Panpan, these should be your family's things."
The cover of the notebook and the book was badly damaged. Pan Pan stretched out his index finger and thumb to pick up the paper and turned two pages. After seeing the handwriting inside, he raised his forehead suddenly, "Where did you find these things?"
Baili Xin: "I went up the mountain two days ago and entered the fog on the other side of the mountain. I entered a deserted village and found these things in a house in the village."
Panpan was very excited. She stood on tiptoe and grabbed Bailixin's arm tightly: "Besides these, what else did you see?"
“Have you seen… Have you seen…”
Baili Xin: "I also saw a woman in red clothes."
Panpan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she shook Bailixin's arm very quickly, "The woman in red? Tell me quickly, what does she look like?!"
However, the young man opposite fell silent.
Panpan was anxious. She was short and couldn't reach high places, so she simply stood up on a stool and stared at Baili Xin with burning eyes. "Tell me, what does she look like? Is she the only one? Are there any others?"
Baili Xin thought for two seconds, "She... I can't say it was just her, there was actually another person, two people in total. They shared a body. It was shrouded in darkness all day and night, so I couldn't see their faces clearly."
At the end of this sentence, he decided to cover up some information.
Just like Li Cancan said, one of them was called "Aliang" and the other was called "Tingting", but now one of them has her whole face burned and the other has her whole face charred. No matter who they are, it is unacceptable.
Pan Pan was stunned after hearing this, "A body..."
"Then they..."
After saying just three words, Panpan suddenly stopped talking.
She swallowed hard, as if she wanted to ask something but didn't know where to start.
Baili Xin: "They have been looking for something."
Panpan looked at Baili Xin blankly: "What is that?"
Baili Xin: "A hairpin. They searched for it every day, all over the village, but they couldn't find it."
"I think you should know this hairpin, right?"
Panpan's pupils began to tremble, her already unhealthy face turned even paler, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.
Baili Xin: “?”
This was a little different from what he had imagined.
Looking at Panpan's expression, she was obviously very happy when he mentioned those two women just now.
But when he mentioned the hairpin, Panpan's expression was full of horror.
Could it be that the hairpin is not with Panpan
If it’s not with Panpan, then whose is it
Why is Panpan so afraid of getting cards
Is she afraid of the hairpin, or the place where the hairpin is... or the person holding the hairpin
After a long period of silence, Panpan finally got down from the chair.
She sat on the edge of the chair and said with a guilty conscience: "The hairpin, the hairpin is not in my hand."
Sun Ning: "Where is that?"
Panpan was like a child who had done something wrong. She lowered her head and stirred the clothes in her hands. "I lost it."
Li Cancan walked forward and said softly, "Panpan, do you remember where you lost the things? Tell me, okay? I will help you find them."
Panpan raised her head, her eyes flickered twice and then she lowered her head again, "It was lost, lost into the well, Auntie."
Li Cancan deliberately ignored the word "Auntie", "In the well? Is it the well in the school?"
Panpan nodded: "Yeah."
The three of them looked at each other.
Sun Ning: "Pan Pan, are you sure? Are you sure it's in the well at the school?"
Panpan's expression was panicked for a moment, and her fingers stirred the clothes faster.
She nodded, then shook her head, "I can't remember either."
Seeing Panpan’s somewhat flustered expression, the three of them exchanged glances for a moment and then stopped asking further questions.
Li Cancan patted Panpan's head gently. "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it. Don't think about it."
The moment the warm palm covered his head, Panpan froze completely.
She was completely motionless, her body somewhat tense, and her cheeks, which were almost hidden in her neck, were flushed.
Li Cancan understood something when she saw this, and her caressing became more gentle.
Panpan, after all, no matter how many years he has lived, his mental age is still that of a child.
Faced with confrontation and exclusion from the villagers, and with a fake mother, she must have been lonely all these years and hoped for company.
Pan Pan lowered her head and thought for a long time before she looked up at Baili Xin: "Have they been looking for hairpins? Did they tell you why they wanted to find hairpins?"
Baili Xin: "I don't know. They are not very willing to communicate with me, but even so, they still told me that they wanted to find the hairpin."
Panpan thought for a long time, finally gritted her teeth and said: "I know where the hairpin is, but I can't go, only you can go."
Li Cancan and Sun Ning's eyes suddenly lit up.
Panpan: "The hairpin should have fallen on the mountain. If you go to the halfway point of the mountain, you will see an abandoned small house. The hairpin should be near that small house. This is all I know. Sorry to bother you."
Li Cancan: "No, Panpan, you have helped us a lot. Thanks to you, these people can be sheltered here."
Panpan glanced outside and shook his head regretfully: "I can't protect them for long. I've heard about your situation. Although they are afraid of me, if you don't find the people before the time is up, they will still break in and take everyone away."
Li Cancan was suddenly startled, "Ah? How could this happen?"
Panpan felt more and more guilty: "I'm sorry."
Li Cancan: "No, no, no, it's not your fault. Well, I'm not blaming you when I say this, but I'm a little surprised."
Panpan said, "Oh," and said, "You guys need to be quick."
After thanking Panpan, the three of them did not go out, but got together again.
Baili Xin: "Did you find anything in the village these past two days? For example, do you suspect any players or villagers?"
Li Cancan: "We did investigate after you left. I'm not sure. Let Sun Ning tell me."
Sun Ning: "After two days of investigation, I suspect three people."
"The first person was Xiao Lin who had just returned to the village. Although the mute woman said that someone outside the village did it, Xiao Lin who had just returned to the village was also a stranger to her. Moreover, he was not in the public eye that day, so he had time to commit the crime."
"Look back and see the player in camouflage. He is the second person I suspect. He was busy until about six that day and then left to play poker. But halfway through, he said he had a stomachache and went to the toilet for more than ten minutes. This was enough time for him to commit the crime."
"The third one is the male player wearing a baseball cap."
"He didn't help that night either. When asked where he had been, he said he was wandering around the village. There were no witnesses."
"I've asked everyone else, and there shouldn't be any problems."
Baili Xin took four teacups from the table and placed them on the table. He pointed to one of the cups and said, "This is the mute woman."
Then he pointed to three other cups and said, "This is Xiaolin, camouflage uniform, and peaked cap."
"Can you tell me what they told you?"
Sun Ning nodded: "Okay."
"First, let's talk about Xiao Lin," Sun Ning pointed at Xiao Lin, "He said that day he had a headache and couldn't sleep because of nervousness. At around 8 o'clock in the evening, when everyone was still busy, he went back to his room to catch up on his sleep."
Sun Ning moved his finger to the second water cup, "Then there was the camouflage uniform. Around seven o'clock that day, he was playing poker as usual. Then he suddenly had an unbearable stomachache and said he had an upset stomach. He grabbed the cards and went to the toilet. He was gone for more than ten minutes, and because he took the cards away, he attracted a lot of criticism from the villagers."
"Then there's the last one," Sun Ning's finger finally landed on the third cup, "This is the man in the baseball cap. He said that he wanted to investigate the tin house at the entrance of the village that day, so he left alone. He was away the longest, leaving at seven and returning at nine."
Sun Ning finally placed her finger on the third water cup. "I suspect he might have done it because he lied."
Baili Xin: "Why?"
Sun Ning: "He said he went to investigate the tin house. It had rained the day before and the area was muddy. I saw his shoes and they were clean. I also asked the family he lived with and they said he always wore the same pair of shoes and never brushed them."
"No, he didn't get his shoes dirty when he went to the muddy tin house. Could it be that he changed his shoes on purpose before the investigation?"
"Although the camouflage suit left for more than ten minutes, it is not difficult to see that he took the poker away in a hurry. In fact, it is not difficult to see that his mind is still on playing poker. When he was in the mood, he unconsciously took the things in his hand away, which just shows his concentration. A person who had planned it in advance would not be so focused, so the camouflage suit can be ruled out."
"As for Xiaolin," Sun Ning glanced at Li Cancan and lowered his voice, "Li Cancan and I live in their house. We eavesdropped on their wedding night. Xiaolin seemed unable to get hard."
Baili Xin was listening attentively, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "What?"
Sun Ning: "Xiao Lin seems to know that women are all men, so he can't get hard at all. I guess this is not the first time he has reincarnated in this village. He must be an old man who has reincarnated."
Baili Xin: "..."
Ah, this.
In the end, they even resorted to "inhumanity" to clear their grievances, which was outrageous.
Baili Xin glanced at the man in the baseball cap outside the window with the corner of his eye. At this moment, he was chatting with the people around him.
"It is basically certain that it is him, so why not identify him?"
Sun Ning: "I am just speculating, I have no evidence. He beats around the bush and avoids the main point. I can't do anything about him."
Baili Xin stood up and said, "Then let's draw lots."
Sun Ning and Li Cancan were stunned. Li Cancan said, "Ah? Draw lots? Just let it go?"
Baili Xin pinched his fingers in mid-air and grabbed a handful of bamboo sticks.
Seeing this, Li Cancan couldn't help but ask, "Xin Shen, how many treasures do you have hidden in your backpack? Are you a merchant from some plane?"
"No, that's not what I meant to say," Li Cancan quickly changed the subject the next second, "Are we really going to draw lots? Is it okay to be so bad?"
Sun Ning seemed to understand something. She suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "Such a simple truth, why didn't I think of it? God Xin, you are really quick-witted!"
Li Cancan: "If you keep doing this, I'm really going to get angry."
In this trio, I often feel inferior because I am too normal.
Sun Ning smiled sheepishly: "Since we can't find the murderer, let's decide by drawing lots. Drawing lots is fair and just, anyone can draw the lottery. It could be Xin Shen who draws the lottery, or of course it could be the guy in the baseball cap who draws the lottery."
After saying that, Sun Ning winked at her.
Li Cancan took two seconds to react, and suddenly understood: "Oh, I understand! This is a good idea."
She looked up towards the door and found that Baili Xin had already opened the door with a bamboo stick in his hand.
When the two of them quickly got up and followed to the door, Baili Xin had already walked into the yard. "Since the murderer has not been found yet, why don't we draw lots first? I have a mission to complete tonight, and I may not be able to make it back on time tomorrow to meet up. If you accuse me of murder, I won't be able to explain myself."
The players were bored. They had been here for two days and had had enough.
After hearing what Baili Xin said, a player quickly spoke up: "Actually, I also have a quest, but I'm afraid of missing out, so I haven't completed it yet. If I don't do it now, my quest will be completed, and we haven't drawn lots, so everyone is worried. One person has to die, and it's death whether it's early or late."
"That's right. Add in the one in the wedding gown, and the probability is one in eleven. It depends on who will be unlucky."
Wearing wedding dress refers to the pigtail.
When his name was suddenly called, Little Pigtail was startled.
He looked at the male players gathered together with a twinkling look in his eyes, then looked at the door.
They all knew that he was not, but since he chose to stand in this yard, it meant that he had to share the risk with them.
Either stay and draw lots, or go out and continue living with Sister Song.
There are only these two options.
The first option has at least a 10/11 chance of survival, but the second option is a 100% chance of death.
It's obvious which one to choose.
Pigtail thought for only two seconds before quickly coming up and saying, "I want to draw lots too."
The risk was shared somewhat, and the other players finally stopped saying anything.
"Well, death is death, whether early or late, it's better to know it sooner. Indecision is the most dangerous. Come on, smoke now!"
"Yes, the village chief said the deadline is three days, but he didn't say that we can't find him earlier. Now it's highly likely that we won't be able to find this person. Since only one person needs to bear the mental pressure, why should everyone bear it together? In fact, I wanted to say this a long time ago, but since you all just waited, I didn't say it."
If there was a one-month gap, people might not agree with Baili Xin's proposal to draw the lots in advance.
If it were in other copies, these people might not agree.
But there is only less than a day difference between the two, and today's players have been immersed in the gentle countryside for too long, and already have a mentality of giving up.
Baili Xin took the lead, with Sun Ning helping out from behind, and it quickly resonated with the players.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before everyone accepted the lottery.
"I have a question. If we draw the person now, but we find the real murderer within a day, what should we do?"
Baili Xin: "That's even better, just hand over the real murderer, and everyone will be happy."
He broke up the bamboo sticks in his hand and displayed them.
In his hand, there are a total of 11 bamboo sticks, 10 long and 1 short. The person who draws the short one is naturally the "murderer".
In order to ensure fairness, he disrupted the game in full view of everyone and held the bamboo sticks in his palm under everyone's supervision.
Everything was so fair and just that when the guy in the baseball cap drew the short lot, no one could raise any doubts.
The moment the short signature appeared in the man in the baseball cap's hand, his expression changed noticeably.
It was not simple fear, but astonishment, confusion and questioning.
He was questioning whether Baili Xin was cheating.
"Wait!" The man in the peaked cap shouted, holding a bamboo stick, "You are cheating, you must be cheating."
"It can't be me, how could it be mine?"
"How did he cheat?" Sun Ning said slowly, "The lot-washing and lot-drawing were done under so many eyes. You said he cheated, does that mean he could fool more than 20 pairs of eyes? Some of them even have enhanced eyes."
"Besides, isn't your reaction a bit strange?"
"If a normal person draws a short lottery ticket, their first reaction would be 'I'm so unlucky' or 'How come I won with a one in eleven chance', but you said it was a thousand right away."
"This reaction is like a person who has done something bad and is suddenly hit by a rock. He angrily says that someone is taking revenge on him instead of explaining why he is so unlucky."
"You taste it, you taste it carefully."
The male players held the bamboo sticks in their hands, and looked at the man in the baseball cap with a look of doubt and scrutiny.
"Sun Ning is right. Can you explain why you reacted this way?"
"Yeah, if it were me, I would just feel that I'm unlucky. His reaction is really abnormal."
"Come to think of it, he didn't seem to have an alibi for that day. It was him who said he was out looking for clues."
The man in the baseball cap had a purple face. "Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence. I'm not the murderer. I reacted like this because I was scared. Believe me, I'm really innocent."
"It's too late to say anything now," a player pointed at the bamboo stick in the cap's hand, "regardless of whether you are innocent or not, you are now the 'murderer'."
Peaked Cap: “…”
________________________
Studio.
I see other players have also discovered the problem with the baseball cap.
Who asked the guy in the baseball cap to do it? I can testify that it was the guy in the baseball cap who did it, because I watched the live broadcast!
It's so funny, I can also testify to this.
But I wanted to get into the camera and tell them that the murderer was the Peaked Cap! I was so anxious that they might have found the wrong person and let the one who really deserved to die go unpunished.
This player is really harmful to others. He is greedy for men's bodies and wants others to take the blame. Speaking of which, it seems that he was the one who mentioned the lottery in the first place.
Yes, that's right, it's him! Is he a water ghost looking for a substitute? !
But now, the ending is comforting. Not all players deserve to be saved.
Pigtail: I was implied.
Every time a player makes a mistake in this dungeon, his or her shortcomings will be pointed out and criticized, which is really miserable.
Is this what we call defeating magic with magic? He is a rogue, but our God Xin is even more rogue than him.
_________________________
After the “murderer” came to an end, Baili Xin and the other two headed straight towards the small house halfway up the mountain that Panpan had mentioned.
Before leaving, Baili Xin asked Panpan for one of her things.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when we went up the mountain, and the sun was about to set.
It is now the eighth day, and although there are many traps on the mountain, they no longer have time to wait until the next day to look for the hairpin.
Just like that, the three of them simply packed up and went up the mountain.
This was their third time going up the mountain, and compared to the first time, the three of them were already much more familiar with the environment.
"Master Xin, what's going on with that bamboo stick? I clearly saw you operating normally. Did you really cheat? How did you do it?" Li Cancan followed behind Baili Xin, his thoughts still on the drawing of lots not long ago.
Baili Xin: "I have to thank Emil for this. He is a magician, and I learned a few tricks from him."
As he spoke, he took out a bamboo stick from his backpack. He held one end of the bamboo stick and pressed it lightly. The bamboo stick actually shrank inwards.
Li Cancan quickly took the bamboo stick and looked at it. The shrunk part could not be seen by the naked eye.
Baili Xin walked straight forward: "This is a magic bamboo stick."
Li Cancan's eyes were focused on the bamboo sticks, when suddenly someone pulled her shoulder hard. Her body leaned back due to inertia and landed on a slender shoulder.
Sun Ning continued in a somewhat stern voice: "Look at the road first, don't you want your legs anymore?"
Li Cancan subconsciously looked down and noticed that there was a trap right next to her feet, less than one centimeter away from her toes.
If Sun Ning hadn't pulled her just now, her legs would have already gone in.
Li Cancan was frightened for a moment, "Thank you, Sun Ning. I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again. I'll concentrate on the road."
After walking for a while, they finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.
"God Xin, did you notice the small house halfway up the mountain when you went up the mountain before? Why didn't I notice it?" Li Cancan carefully avoided a trap and walked carefully hand in hand with Sun Ning.
Baili Xin: "To be honest, I didn't see this building on the mountain. Panpan probably hasn't left the village for many years. I guess after so many years of vicissitudes, the small house is likely to have been flattened, or directly collapsed and buried in the soil."
Li Cancan helped Sun Ning avoid another trap. When she heard Baili Xin's words, she frowned, "If that's the case, how can we be sure where the thing is?"
Baili Xin coughed lightly, "I have a way."
When Li Cancan heard Baili Xin say that there was a way, she didn't continue asking.
Since God Xin said there is a way, then there must be a way.
This is God Xin. When the great god is leading the team, they don’t need to ask why, just say “666”!
—《The Awareness of Winning Without Anything》
Baili Xin stopped halfway up the mountain.
Li Cancan looked at the young man in front of him with confusion. He saw the young man standing by a tree, looking around as if he was looking for something.
But soon, Li Cancan knew what Baili Xin was looking for.
A plump figure jumped out from the dense grass like an arrow.
Rushed straight into Baili Xin's arms.
The little wolf had a coat of soft gray fur. Its tail, hidden in the long fur, swayed rapidly from side to side, as if it wanted to turn its tail into a small palm-leaf fan.
Baili Xin's originally calm face instantly broke into a smile when he saw the little wolf cub, as bright as the sun in the sky.
He held the little wolf cub in his arms intimately, and said in a voice so sweet that it could make people sick: "My little baby, I miss you so much, let me kiss you."
After saying that, she gave the wolf cub a big kiss on the forehead.
He called out sweetly, and the wolf cub also called out one after another, his voice thin and long, as if responding to Baili Xin.
Woo woo, my God, this fairy tale love makes me cry.
So sweet, so sweet!
In the last second, Li Cancan was still crying for the fairy-tale love between Xin Shen and the big boss.
Li Cancan was stunned for a moment until she saw Baili Xin's next move.
Baili Xin swiftly took out the stationery he had asked Panpan for from his backpack and placed it in front of the wolf cub. Then he smiled and shook the stationery in a tone that deceived a child, saying, "My dear, do you want me to kiss you again? Then help me find the smell on this mountain. If you find it, I will give you another reward."
After saying this, Baili Xin threw the wolf cub, who he had just kissed, hugged and held high in his arms, to the ground, and also threw Panpan's toy to the ground.
The wolf cub fell to the ground on all fours and froze for two seconds.
It raised its head and looked at the young man squatting in front of it, eyes full of disbelief.
"Ooooooo, oooooo, oooooooo!"
Baili Xin coughed lightly and said, "If you can find it, when you recover, we will have wolf cubs."
The wolf cub's tail instantly stood up, and without saying a word, he put his nose on the stationery and started sniffing.
After smelling it, the wolf cub immediately controlled its chubby body and rushed out.
Go ahead, to have a bunch of little wolf cubs with your wife!
Li Cancan: “…”
Sun Ning: “…”
There are not only sweet places in this world, but also beauty traps.
The beauty trap never goes out of style!

He is obviously a working wolf.
What we are saying is that although the boss is not a human, Xin Shen is really a dog. Is this the strongest child laborer
It's so funny, a big guy who works in diapers, I was really hurt today and it opened my eyes.
After the big guy became smaller, his intelligence seemed to have deteriorated.
A honey trap that can never be escaped.
____________________
Even though Dijia's body turned into a little wolf cub after degeneration, its speed is not slow at all and its movements are very agile.
I saw its fat body moving flexibly among the traps, but after a while, it stopped at one place.
After stopping, it turned around and called out twice to Baili Xin who was following not far away, then lowered its head and started digging the soil.
Li Cancan: “…”
Boss, you really think of yourself as a dog.
Is this something I can watch
When the boss changes back, will he kill me to silence me
Shiveringjpg.
The three of them quickly caught up, and just as Baili Xin took out a shovel from his backpack and prepared to dig, the wolf cub raised its neck and sniffed the air for a moment, then howled at Baili Xin and ran away somewhere.
Sun Ning put down the shovel, looked at the direction where the wolf cub left, and frowned slightly: "What's going on? Is there anything else?"
Baili Xin thought for two seconds, then stuck a shovel here as a mark, "Let's go to the next one first."
The wolf cub soon stopped not far from the first place. Just like before, it barked twice and then started digging the hole.
After digging the hole, the wolf cub raised his head again and began to sniff the air.
Three people: “…”
The smiles of the three people gradually faded, and Sun Ning's expression became a little solemn.
After using another shovel as a mark, the wolf cub continued running.
This went on for a while, and the wolf cub led them to search four places in total.
After they were sure there was no new location, the three of them began to dig the hole with some hesitancy.
Starting from the fourth place and digging backwards, the first thing dug out was the skeleton of a torso.
The corpse was very small, and judging by the size of the bones, it was estimated that the animal was only six or seven years old.
The three of them had all been through many copies, and when the wolf cub kept finding items, they realized that something was wrong.
So when the bones were dug out, people were not too shocked, but they still felt a little sad.
Sun Ning took out a bag from his backpack and put the bones in it. Then the three of them came to the third place.
Li Cancan took out the second part, which was two arms.
Next came the two thighs, and finally the head.
There was a pile of clothes buried under the head.
The clothes had become tattered after being worn out by time, but one could still vaguely see that it was a pink floral dress, the same pattern as the one Panpan was wearing now.
When Li Cancan was sorting out these small clothes, something fell out from inside. The three of them looked down following the sound and saw that it was a hairpin that had been somewhat deformed.
There were some blood stains on the hairpin and clothes.
Needless to say, just from these tattered clothes and broken bones, one can imagine what little Panpan had experienced.
"How could this happen?" Li Cancan's voice was trembling. "Panpan, aren't you fine?"
"Her body is here. So what happened after Ah Liang left?"
"Is her death related to the curse of the gentle land?"
The sky was gradually getting dark. The three of them looked back at the Land of Gentleness. The lights were dimly on and it was as peaceful as ever. But now this village was a purgatory in their minds.
Baili Xin: "I'm going to the deserted village across the street. You guys go back first and give me the hairpin."
Li Cancan handed the hairpin to Baili Xin: "God Xin, can I go with you?"
Baili Xin was just about to receive the hairpin, but her fingers paused slightly when she heard the words.
Sun Ning immediately spoke up: "Yes, we have come this far. You asked us to go down now. There are so many traps at night and we will be in danger. Why don't we go together? Maybe someone can take care of us."
Baili Xin looked at Sun Ning, then at Li Cancan, and finally hugged the howling wolf cub beside him, "Let's go, but I remind you, the red-clothed female devil is not very good-looking, you have to be mentally prepared."
Li Cancan's eyes lit up instantly: "Okay!"
