The monk was a smart man. He had already guessed what Tang Ning meant. When the others attacked him for the empty room, he helplessly revealed his trump card: "My card in this game is called Ascetic Monk."
"The skill is strong will and immunity from contamination." said the monk.
There are such skill cards
In this Western fantasy copy, although the players did not carry mobile phones to see the cards in each other's hands, as long as someone blew up the card himself, the card game system would help the player confirm whether it was fake.
The monk is right.
He does have a card that doesn't need to be contaminated.
But if he had such a powerful card, why didn't he tell everyone at the beginning? As long as he told everyone, no one would doubt him.
"This time, the cards should be used in conjunction with props." Li Haoyuan said, "Did you find the props in the room?"
"Of course I found it." said the monk.
"How do we know whether you have found it or not?" Li Haoyuan said, "Maybe you haven't found it at all, and you are just saying this to deceive everyone's trust!"
"Monks do not tell lies." The monk said sincerely.
"You're talking nonsense!" Li Haoyuan said angrily, "You clearly said at the beginning that you entered an empty room with nothing in it! And then you said you found props in the room! How can you be a monk if you are so contradictory?!"
The monk said calmly, "You just said that you saw a vengeful spirit when you entered the room. What did the vengeful spirit look like? What means of attack did it use? What injuries did you suffer? How did you break through its ghost wall?"
Li Haoyuan paused for a moment before saying, "Dao Baiying, it might be a soul shock. I vomited blood, and I didn't check the specific injuries on my body. I broke the ghost wall without knowing what was going on. I don't know what happened."
The monk called Christian and said, "Donor Ding, can you check if there is any residual energy from the Western system in his body?"
Christine replied: "Nothing."
The monk said softly, "It looks like someone lied."
Li Haoyuan raised his voice: "I didn't! I don't know why Christine didn't check it! Christine might be able to check all the energy residues!"
Christine said: "Please don't question my professionalism."
The monk continued calmly, "It seems that the person that Donor Tang mentioned as being polluted is Li Haoyuan."
Tang Ning stared blankly at this series of twists and turns. It wasn't that he didn't know who to believe, but he was suspicious of both of them. Li Haoyuan's attitude towards him had changed a lot, and the monk's deliberate concealment was also suspicious. It was just that these two people were enemies, just to deal with Tang Ning, and the infighting between them was very...
The system watched the fun and said: Good, dog bites dog.
"Only two minutes left." Zhou Kang counted down.
The monk immediately said, "It's getting late. We should exile the polluter. By the way, Mr. Ding, do you want to share my room with me tonight?"
Christine said, "Okay."
The system sneered.
"I'm not polluted!" Li Haoyuan shouted, "The one who is polluted is this monk!!! Not me! Not me!!!"
Jiang Mianmian asked: "Do we need to exile manually? Do we need to subdue the polluted person first and then drive him out? Or will the power of the game drive out the people we think are polluters?"
"I don't know either." The monk said, "To be on the safe side, I will exile Mr. Li Haoyuan."
"I have a card too!" Li Haoyuan suddenly said, "My card is absolutely crucial to this copy! It can dispel the secondary pollution!!!"
A word comes out.
Everyone present fell silent.
Cards that can dispel secondary pollution are indeed very important.
Such an important card fell into the hands of someone who was likely to be contaminated, just like the card game played a big joke on everyone.
What should I do about this
Tang Ning was stunned.
It's very simple. The system said: Use the loophole in the rules to kill him, and then pick up the cards he dropped.
This incredibly cool and calm answer floated in Tang Ning's mind, shocking her to the point where she had no idea how to respond to the system.
Tang Ning heard the monk's compassionate voice: "What a pity."
The Buddhist beads were taken off from his wrist, and the sound of collision was heard. In the darkness, the monk easily subdued Li Haoyuan.
No one stopped it.
Li Haoyuan did take a very important card, but through Tang Ning's prophecy of the Pen Fairy, Christine's judgment, and the fact that Li Haoyuan had changed his usual obedience to Tang Ning, it can be confirmed that Li Haoyuan is the polluter.
The rules state that the polluter will pollute other people in the middle of the night. If Li Haoyuan is allowed to stay in the castle, he will pollute more people than his card skills can save.
Moreover, the purpose of using card skills is to find props, which means that if you are unlucky, you can only look at Li Haoyuan's skills but cannot use them.
Tangning heard Li Haoyuan's desperate cry for help, "It's not me! It's not me! Mr. Tang! Mr. Tang! Please believe me! It's not me!!!"
The sound Tang Ning heard turned into a wolf howl. It should be Li Haoyuan who was struggling desperately and turned into a werewolf.
"Can you do it alone?" Christine asked, "Do you need me to help you?"
"Thank you, Mr. Ding." The monk said gratefully.
With Christine's presence, the originally majestic howl turned into a whimper, like a wounded puppy. In the darkness, he kept whimpering to Tang Ning, "Mr. Tang... Mr. Tang..."
Tang Ning's heart tightened.
If you only feed a wolf sweet things, it is easy to raise an ungrateful wolf. The system said: You see, if you give him another slap, he will finally know who to wag his tail to.
A bright beam of light lit up from Christine's palm, illuminating Li Haoyuan's dark green eyes.
The eyes were like ghost fire and stared at Tang Ning, full of hatred. Even though Tang Ning was used to seeing evil spirits, he felt a chill down his spine when he suddenly saw someone familiar looking at him like that.
It seems that the beating was not harsh enough, the system said.
Li Haoyuan's voice gradually faded away.
The wall lamps went out one after another. When the lights in the building were completely out, the gate of the castle opened and Li Haoyuan, who was roaring desperately, was thrown out. Then the gate closed and the monk and Christine ran desperately upstairs.
While the two people downstairs were running upstairs against the clock, the five people standing on the fifth floor had already begun to prepare to enter the room.
Tang Ning, Jiang Mianmian and Si Tai shared a room.
Lin Yun and Zhou Kang share a room.
Christine and the monk rushed up to the room against the clock.
When the last light in the castle went out, everyone entered the room they were supposed to enter.
In the dark room, Lin Yun and Zhou Kang occupied the two ends of the diagonal of the room, far away from each other, not hiding their vigilance and hostility towards each other at all.
"I thought you would choose to share a room with Tangning," Zhou Kang said, "You really like him."
"Aren't you the same?" Lin Yun asked back.
They are teammates, rivals in love, and admirers of Tang Ning.
After a long while, Zhou Kang asked, "Did you see that too?"
"I don't know." Lin Yun was silent for a while, "He has made rapid progress. Maybe he got a lot of training in the two instances when I was absent."
Zhou Kang murmured, "A new guy named Si Tai trusts him very much, so I am not sure either."
…
The monk and Christine's room was unusually bright.
Because Christian was like a human-shaped light bulb, he and the monk looked into each other's eyes.
The monk clasped his hands together, revealing a compassionate expression.
Christine took out the Bible from her arms, her expression solemn and pious.
…
Another room.
Tang Ning and Si Tai sat together.
Jiang Mianmian was some distance away from Tangning, but in the darkness Tangning could not see Jiang Mianmian's exact location. He heard Jiang Mianmian's voice: "Can I know your cards? In exchange, I will tell you my cards."
The fact that Jiang Mianmian stood by him without hesitation just now made Tang Ning feel very favorable towards Jiang Mianmian.
"My cards can reveal a person's true identity." Tangning added, "But I haven't found a mirror to match them yet."
"It's a very important card." Jiang Mianmian said her own card: "I drew a useless C-level card. The only use of it is that I used it too much. There is a certain chance that the opponent will treat me as a fool. This kind of card does not need to be used with props."
Si Tai said: "My card skill is that I can protect a person from pollution every night. The disadvantage is that I can't protect the same person two consecutive nights."
"This skill is very useful." When Jiang Mianmian heard this, she immediately said, "I have an idea."
"What?" Tangning asked.
"Si Tai can protect a person from being polluted." Jiang Mian Mian asked: "How exactly does this protection work? If you are protecting me and I leave you, will this protection still be effective?"
"It works." Si Tai added: "Even if I die, this protection will still work."
Jiang Mianmian took a deep breath and said seriously, "We can't waste this opportunity to be protected easily. If we are protected, I think we can take advantage of the opportunity that I will not be polluted tonight and go to the castle to take a look." Jiang Mianmian said seriously.
What? Go to the castle
"Why are the polluted people exiled from the castle? Why does the owner of the castle leave the castle at night? What exactly is in the castle?" Jiang Mianmian said: "The first copy is usually the safest. If we can get more information in the first copy, it will be of great help in the future."
This kind of seeking wealth and fame at the risk of one's life is very much in line with Jiang Mianmian's usual practice. Even Tangning refuted Jiang Mianmian's plan.
"Sitai, have you used your skills?" Jiang Mianmian asked.
Si Tai said, "Not yet, but I plan to give it to my father. I always listen to my father."
"Tangning, can I ask Si Tai to protect me tonight?" Jiang Mianmian asked sincerely, "I want to go out and explore."
Tang Ning didn't know how to react. He almost subconsciously asked the system in his mind: What should I do
This is indeed a good thing. The system rarely praised Jiang Mianmian.
Should I agree to her
Why agree
Tang Ning: “?” Didn’t you say her idea was good
Why should we give her the chance to protect us? What if we lose Stein's protection and get polluted tonight? What if she becomes more powerful after going out and plans to attack us
The system's calm tone carries an indescribable temptation. Why can't we go out by ourselves
We can obtain Si Tai's protection, explore the castle's boundaries, and hopefully pick up important cards next to Li Haoyuan's body.
Tangning blinked blankly.
Yes, why doesn't he take the power of action into his own hands
He has Sitai's protection, so he doesn't have to worry about being contaminated tonight...
No, no, no, it would be very dangerous to go out like this. He has too few items that can be used in the Western dungeon, and he always listens to the system in his words and deeds. This is not good. If the system is a ghost, he will be led further and further astray if he listens to the system...
It's just a suggestion. The system says: You don't have to listen.
It seemed to be just a casual analysis, leaving the initiative completely to Tang Ning, which made Tang Ning even more confused.
How should he choose
