Near the equator, dawn is on time at six o'clock in the morning. Lin Shuo experienced this rule when he was still in Borneo.
When everyone arrived at the hiding place of Chi Xiangrong's family, the first ray of morning light just shone on the dense forest. It was bright outside, but it was still dark inside the forest.
Chi Xiangrong's home here now is a wooden shed surrounded by a fence.
The so-called wooden shed is to stand four thick branches on all sides, vines are woven together to make the walls, and then some mud is used to paste it, and a water tank is dug around it. It is such a simple building.
Of course, it is a simple building, and there is also technical content here, which is mainly reflected in the roof of the shed, which is covered with tiles.
Large pieces of yellow clay tiles should be fired from river mud. This work is time-consuming and laborious, but it works in the rainforest.
Living in the tropical rain forest, there is no wind and the temperature is relatively stable, so the walls don't need to be so particular. I am afraid of the rain, as it is easy to lose temperature and die when the body is soaked, so the roof must have tiles to prevent rain.
Lin Shuo looked at the surrounding environment, and thought that Chi Xiangrong was indeed an elite hunter of Liemen, and he had enough knowledge of survival in the wild, so he chose a good place for this family.
In Huaxiamen, whether it is building a city, building a tomb, or finding a place to settle down, there are only six words. This is also the rule established by Duke Zhou when he built Luoyang City. It is called "wind, water, mausoleum, library, guard, watch".
When it comes to Feng Shui in later generations, it comes from here.
Among them, the wind is the tuyere, and the nearby wind direction must be observed, which is mainly used for fire prevention. Putting it in this kind of outdoor building is actually a matter of placement of the firepit.
Water is a water outlet, also called a water source. There must be running water nearby to meet the needs of daily life.
The other four words are simple, the mausoleum is the place of support, the warehouse is the place of accommodation, the guard is the gate of entry and exit, and the hope is the preparation of the police post.
Inheritance hunters have to consider these things when they find a place in the wild for a temporary shelter. They can't just sleep anywhere in a daze, or they will easily die without a place to bury them.
Chi Xiangrong's residence was well chosen.
Leaving Feng Shui aside, there is a small hill next to it, which is the mausoleum, which just blocks the line of sight and makes it difficult for people to find it so easily.
The area of this open space is also enough. This is called a library, and the family lives here, and they can make a lot of troubles.
Then he surrounded the front with a fence and placed various traps, leaving only a trail for entry and exit, which is the guard.
Looking at it is difficult. Looking at it is a police post, which requires vision. The tropical rainforest has dense vegetation, and the vision is not good.
However, considering Chi Xiangrong's own cultivation, his own ability can meet the requirement of "Wang".
It's just that once he's not here, then this place can't be called "Wang".
Chi Xiangrong was not at home last night, and the mother and daughter were left unattended. When Lin Shuo and the others arrived, they found that they had disappeared.
Shed in the fence, nobody.
There was no one here, Lin Shuo knew about this a long time ago, after all, he has the ability to tell where people are, and he can know in advance when people are going to vacate the house.
So after arriving here, he still thought about looking left and right, and commented on this temporary residence in his heart.
Xiao Wu also knew in advance that she occupied Su Dongdong's body and had good hearing.
The others didn't know it before, but when he saw that there was no one here, He Yongchang asked, "Xiao Chi, where is he?"
Chi Xiangrong's face was serious, he went into the shed to inspect it carefully, and when he came out again, his face was murderous.
Zhang Jin was taken aback, thinking that this person could not continue acting and was going to turn his back on him
Lin Shuo was like a mirror in his heart, his sense of smell had already told him what happened here.
The smell of people is messy, there are several people, the smell is quite fresh, and the incident happened not long ago.
It was last night that someone came into the house and took the mother and daughter away.
I saw Chi Xiangrong clasped his fists to Lin Shuo, and said, "Boss, please wait here for a while, I'll go back as soon as I go."
"Okay, let's go together." Lin Shuo said, "There are a lot of people on the other side, and there are hostages in their hands. You are not safe by yourself."
"Thank you Chief!"
Tracking a group of people in the dense forest was a job that even Du Zhiming could do well for everyone on the trip. This was the basic skill of a hunter.
In the natural environment, the soil is soft and things are basically alive, and the traces will not dissipate in a short time, and judging from the meaning of the other group of people, there is no intention to cover up any traces at all.
It was still Chi Xiangrong who led the way, and the others followed.
At this moment, Lin Shuo could clearly feel that Chi Xiangrong's aura was different from before.
He was also leading the way before, but this person was actually very listless overall.
Although part of the reason was that he was deceived by Lin Shuo's words, he was a little confused, but with the background of an elite heritage hunter, it was unimaginable that he could lead the wrong way again and again, deviate from the direction and then sneak back.
This shows that it is the result of his rational thinking to bring his group to his wife and children, but it is actually difficult for him to accept the emotions in his heart, so his behavior will be so contradictory and repeated.
Chi Xiangrong is different now, the young man has the aura of a demon god descending to earth, he is not willing to dodge when he sees a tree blocking his body, he directly opens the way with his fleshy palms, and chops whatever he sees.
The young man is a borrowed object hunter. Although his strength is not bad, his palm hardness is not much different from that of ordinary people.
So within a few strokes, his hands turned red, he didn't care, and ran straight forward.
This situation was seen by Lin Shuo. In fact, his heart was sinking, and he felt that something was wrong.
Because if Chi Xiangrong is controlled by the female demon at this moment, what represents his will now is the individual consciousness of a female demon, that is, the female demon.
Then why did he have such passionate feelings for Chi Xiangrong's wife and daughter
This is obviously unreasonable.
So it is possible, is the mother and daughter also occupied by the female demon
This idea just popped up in Lin Shuo's mind, but he quickly denied it by himself.
This assumption is not valid, thinking that if the mother and daughter are also occupied by the woman, then they must be strong, and they will not be taken away by refugees who can't eat enough in the woods.
Of course, there is another possibility, this is a game against Lin Shuo and others, and Chi Xiangrong is performing at the moment.
But Lin Shuo has seen Chi Xiangrong's acting skills for a long time. As far as his acting skills are concerned, let alone compared with Miao Chengyun, even if he is placed in the student drama club of Kunlun College, he is not considered top-notch. Can't even run.
Why did his acting skills suddenly explode at this moment? It's impossible.
So Lin Shuo was running after Chi Xiangrong, muttering inwardly, and glanced at Xiao Wu behind him.
In this hunting team, although Lao He is competent, sometimes he is slow to react.
Just Xiao Wu, the consciousness avatar of the Queen Mother of the West, has lived in the bodies of various women for 10,000 years, and most of these women have left their names in history. After going through all kinds of turmoil, they are now utterly devoted to Lin Shuo, so they can be trusted unconditionally by Lin Shuo. .
Once you have any doubts in your heart, just ask your fifth wife.
Xiao Wu's voice quickly rang in his mind: "This is actually not difficult to understand.
These women, their bodies may have been annihilated long ago, and now only the soul consciousness is left.
If the soul consciousness wants to exist and live, it needs a body as a prerequisite. Without a body, the soul consciousness is a tree without roots and water without a source.
Therefore, for them, even if the body is boarded in, it is still their own body. If they want to live this life well and have a complete life experience, they must respect this body.
This kind of respect, in addition to meeting the various needs of the body and protecting the body from damage, must also conform to the social attributes of the body according to the rules of the current world.
Chi Xiangrong is a husband and a father, which is the most important social attribute of this body in the current world.
This situation is a bit like young people playing games nowadays. Even if the wife and children in the game are not real people, but just two NPCs, if someone snatches them away, the player will have a sense of substitution and be anxious.
For women, this feeling will be much stronger than that of game players, because game players have their own bodies, and the characters in the game are just temporary experiences.
The woman does not have her own body, and Chi Xiangrong's body is now his body, so he will completely replace it, and in the end it will be indistinguishable from Chi Xiangrong's own personality. "
"Is this also the common situation of the Houtu people today?" Lin Shuo asked, "Do you also live this kind of life in your respective virtual worlds?"
"Yes." Xiao Wu said, "In the virtual world, my compatriots are also experiencing periods of life. Including me, in fact, they are not much different from them in essence. What I am experiencing now, It is the life of husband and wife with you, Lin Shuo."
"You describe it like this, which makes me feel bad." Lin Shuo said.
"Do you suspect that you are also in a virtual world now?" Xiao Wu asked.
"That's not the case."
"Isn't it?" Xiao Wu said, "Then if I tell you again, no one survived the thunderstorm night in Kunlun Mountain?"
Lin Shuo was stunned: "Xiao Wu, don't scare me."
"Just kidding." Xiao Wu smiled, "Okay, stop thinking about this philosophy of life, it's not the time yet."
Lin Shuo gave Xiao Wu a white look, not knowing what to say.
Xiao Wu said solemnly: "Husband, we will soon go to the place where the mother and daughter are. I think we can take advantage of this situation and do something."
"What are you doing?" Lin Shuo asked in confusion.
"incite defection."
"Ah?" Lin Shuo didn't realize it, "Who instigated rebellion?"
"The woman who controls Chi Xiangrong." Xiao Wu said, "If this thing is done, the benefits will be much greater than Dongdong sneaking into the woman and painstakingly collecting information, and the risk is also small."
"Why do you have this judgment?" Lin Shuo asked.
"Since it sneaked into us as an undercover agent, it means that it is a direct participant in this matter, and it must have a large amount of information and be more accurate."
"It makes sense." Lin Shuo nodded, and then said, "The question is how to instigate rebellion."
"You stop him first, tell him not to go forward, and leave the rest to me." Xiao Wu suggested.
"No, don't act recklessly." Lin Shuo said, "If the plan fails, the table will be turned over on the spot, and the matter will not end well."
"But now is an opportunity. We have an extra bargaining chip in our hands. You don't want to take advantage of it?"
"What chips?" Lin Shuo asked.
"We can take the lives of Chi Xiangrong's wife and daughter to threaten him," Xiao Wu said.
"No, Xiao Wu, do you want to stop talking?" Lin Shuo said, "Chi Xiangrong's wife and daughter are now members of the Hunter Gate, and I am the leader of the Hunter Gate. It is too late for me to save them now. Shall I take the lives of both of them to blackmail a woman?"
"Yes."
"Are you doing something human?"
"I'm not a human being." Xiao Wu said, "Do I need to be a human being?"
"..."
"Besides, looking at the condition of this woman last night, she obviously has concerns about bringing us to her wife and daughter.
This shows that it is uncertain about how we will treat its wife and daughter.
This means that your intention of saving the mother and daughter in a hurry is not clear, but it is still guarding against you.
Then we will push the boat along the way, and simply threaten it with the lives of the mother and daughter. "
"But the problem is, even if you take the lives of the mother and daughter, you can't threaten it." Lin Shuo said, "It depends on what we ask it to do.
If you let it do something small, then it's probably not a big problem.
But now we are letting it betray the female demon civilization, which is the foundation of its survival, which is far more important than the mother and daughter. Why should it betray? "
"So, this is the art of scheming, my husband, you are still relatively immature in this regard." Xiao Wu said, "If you want someone to betray you, the usual method is to seduce or coerce.
But if it's just temptation and coercion, it's not enough, it's not safe.
The most critical step is to make him unable to go back.
If he can't go back, he can only come to you, and he will betray him naturally. "
Lin Shuo asked, "Then why can't it go back?"
"Dongdong, who has infiltrated the female demon civilization, can do this. Spreading false information is much easier than obtaining intelligence from the upper echelon." Xiao Wu said, "Let Dongdong spread the betrayal inside the enemy .In this way, it can't go back, and has nowhere to go, so it can only go to us."
"You're poisonous enough," Lin Shuo said, "But it's not necessarily true, because if a person has nowhere to go, he at least has the option of self-destruction. How can you be sure that it will come to us?"
"It will kill itself. It's because of the pressure on the one hand and the fact that it can't go back. We only need to give it a good prospect and enough bait to avoid it." Xiao Wu said.
"What bait?"
"Nvba has a virtual world, and we also have it." Xiao Wu said, "It is an ordinary member of the Nvba civilization, with limited authority. Even if it enters the virtual world, it is only a middle-level existence in the virtual world, not a top-level existence. Yes. And we, the Houtu family, can give it top-level treatment in the virtual world.
Believe me, man, this bait is irresistible to a consciousness that has no body but only a soul.
So it will not end itself, it will only be successfully instigated by us. "
"Then what do we do now?"
"You drag it on for a while, I'll go over and control the situation, and at the same time send a letter to Dongdong." Xiao Wu said, "We can have a showdown right after Dongdong's work is done."
This communication between the husband and wife is actually an exchange of spiritual thoughts, and the speed is very fast. Such a large amount of information exchange would only take a few seconds in the real world.
Lin Shuo was persuaded by Xiao Wu, he took a quick step and stopped Chi Xiangrong.
At the same time, Xiao Wu shook his body and disappeared in place.
Chi Xiangrong looked surprised, stopped and asked, "President, what are you..."
