"Master Jikong, why do you say that?" Tang Ning asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
"I used to not eat meat unless it was necessary." The monk said softly, "But today I ate meat easily."
He cited other more subtle personality changes, because Jikong was not familiar with Tang Ning before, and the example of eating meat was more intuitive.
"What else?" Tangning frowned.
"Before entering the dungeon, I was trapped by my inner demon. But in this dungeon, the inner demon appeared every time." The monk tied to the cross rubbed his body unconsciously. If the Buddhist beads were still there, he would move them. "I thought I had suppressed them by force. Now, I am afraid that I have been possessed by the demon and cannot see the inner demon."
Tang Ning's Adam's apple rolled. He felt that the monk's guess was correct, because his relationship with "him" also started from the moment he entered the dungeon.
So the others were too rational and cold towards him, was it also because they were affected by the copy on the first day
but…
Si Tai's face popped up in Tangning's mind. "Si Tai seems to have changed a lot. He took the initiative to protect me on the first day. If he was also affected by the subtle effects of the copy, then he should distance himself from me."
"He even fell asleep in seconds on our first night together, and he seemed to trust me."
The monk frowned upon hearing this, then he suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, this should be the second copy of the donor?"
Tangning nodded.
"I have never heard of a newbie entering an A-level dungeon in the second instance before. This must be the preferential treatment given to him by the dungeon."
Tang Ning couldn't help but nod. If this was really the preferential treatment given to newbies by the dungeon to protect them from hidden sexual contamination, then Tang Ning could understand why Mo Yunchu had told him not to waste time in low-level dungeons.
Because the harm of this kind of hidden pollution is even more terrible than the obvious pollution of opening the door to kill. The change of temperament at the moment of opening the door to kill can be noticed by people, at least teammates can be aware of it. Just like the monk, although he was obviously polluted, he was saved by Tang Ning.
The changes in hidden pollution are very subtle. If someone realizes the existence of hidden pollution, they will grab enough empty rooms at home and stay alone in the room every day for fear of being polluted by others. As time goes by, everyone's pollution becomes heavier day by day, but because of the boiling frog in warm water, some people will find abnormalities.
Even if everyone can stay safely in their rooms until the end of the seventh day, can the players whose thinking and personalities are completely distorted still be the original players
Tang Ning broke out in a cold sweat when he got here.
But soon he discovered something even more terrifying, that is, he actually realized from the first day that "he" was polluting him... but he...
But some people don't let "him" leave.
… Am I contaminated
Like Li Haoyuan, can't exorcise the ghosts on his body
The monk groaned for a moment, then said, "But we need to observe more carefully. Perhaps Donor Si has changed in some way that we noticed."
Tang Ning finally came to his senses.
"Mr. Tang, can you please untie me now?" the monk said.
Tang Ning hurried to untie the monk. After untying the monk, he subconsciously thought: What should I do with Li Haoyuan? Just leave it here
He countered: What do you think we should do
Tangning, who was already used to listening to "his" instructions, was stunned for a moment, and tentatively analyzed: "Li Haoyuan is very afraid of me now, and he has the ability to dispel pollution. He is very important to me and this team now. I need to... I need to control him and make him remove the pollution from one player every day."
It is now the second day of the copy. If Li Haoyuan can remove the pollution every day, he can rescue five more. However, in the team, only the monk who has just dispelled the pollution is normal. Even for Si Tai, Tang Ning cannot ensure that he is not contaminated, so the quota for five people is not enough.
Another thing that bothered Tang Ning was that the ghost possessing Li Haoyuan would not remove the pollution from Li Haoyuan.
I will lock him up in this room first. He cannot be exiled. What if something happens to him outside? Tang Ning went to pick up the cards that "he" always talked about. This is absolutely not allowed. However, you should have a way to solve the pollution on Li Haoyuan, right
"He" did have an answer, but asked like a teacher: A card game will not give an unsolvable problem. How do you think the pollution on Li Haoyuan should be solved
Tangning was stunned for a moment. Li Haoyuan's current situation could not be solved with his cards. If other players had cards with similar effects, they might be able to save him, but I thought it would be difficult. I'll go home soon.
Tang Ning said that now that he had the final say in the team, he felt really comfortable. He could directly ask others what cards they had, even if the probability of some people being slightly contaminated was not very high.
And then? He continued.
If the players can solve the problem, then the NPCs in the castle should be able to solve it too, because our characters were invited by the NPCs to solve the pollution. Tangning thought for a moment and then boldly guessed: Is the solution outside the castle
Deji went out to see the way. "He" both admitted and denied.
After Tang Ning's analysis, his thoughts became clearer. He held the candle and walked back to Li Haoyuan. When Li Haoyuan saw the candle in his hand, his face turned very ugly.
Can Li Haoyuan be trapped by just tying him to the cross? Tang Ning realized that the rules stated that monsters would infect others recklessly at night. Does this mean that monsters would be stronger at night
How do you do that? "He".
I'll keep him with me at night. Tangning said carefully: Because at night I will give you control of my body, and he won't dare to do anything rash if he stays by your side.
But his answer was beyond Tang Ning's expectations. The world outside is more dangerous than you think. I will abandon him if necessary.
Even “he” says the world outside the castle is dangerous
Tang Ning was in a dilemma for a moment. What should he do
"He" did give an answer, and seemed to be willing to let Tang Ning find a solution.
It was still a long time before nightfall, and although Tang Ning was a little anxious, he was not to the point of being agitated.
He held up the candle and glanced at Li Haoyuan, and decided to stay in this room temporarily during the day. Then Tang Ning led the monk out of the room. When he opened the door, the Duke who was eavesdropping outside the door hurriedly straightened his sleeves.
Tang Ning went to the Duke's place and eavesdropped, but the card game would blur the conversations between players, so he shouldn't be able to hear anything.
"Has the priest dealt with the pollution on this companion?" The Duke looked at the monk.
Tangning nodded. When he opened the door, the candle in the room went out. However, the length of the candle did not decrease at all. Was it a special feature of the prop? A candle that would never burn out
The Duke exclaimed: "As expected of a priest, I believe the priest can lift the curse of the castle."
Tang Ning spoke with confidence, and his performance seemed very humble, not surprised by praise or criticism.
When you are strong enough, no matter what you do, outsiders will probably be able to come up with a bunch of reasons to explain it.
In addition to the Duke, there were other players outside the corridor. After hearing what the Duke said, they looked at the monk next to Tang Ning in disbelief. They couldn't tell any difference just by looking at the appearance. Not everyone had an unusually delicate and sensitive sense like Tang Ning.
However, it was unlikely that Tangning and the Duke were in collusion. Even if the Duke had a high opinion of Tangning, he would not lie to her in front of his family, right
Could it be that Tang Ning really helped the monks solve the pollution? What about Li Haoyuan? Why did Li Haoyuan come out now
Everyone kept looking at Tang Ning and the monk.
"I heard from the butler that the priest was not satisfied with the food in the castle. I was inconsiderate and didn't know what the priest liked to eat..." The Duke was halfway through his words when Tangning whispered to him, "Sorry, I have something to do right now."
Tang Ning walked around the Duke who was still chatting with the beautiful priestess and walked towards Si Tai. His outfit exuded a holy aura. He stepped on the snow-white carpet as if he was walking on the snow.
He came in front of Si Tai, who couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw Tang Ning like this.
"I have something to tell you." Tangning said seriously.
Si Tai was so nervous that his eyes, which looked weak, opened wide. "What?"
"Are you good at typing now?" Tangning asked with a straight face.
Si Tai: “… ?”
When he heard the word "code", Si Tai's expression revealed confusion, shock, pain, anxiety and sadness that he could not conceal.
This momentary expression cannot deceive people. Si Tai tried to maintain a calm expression and said with difficulty: "I... should I type?"
It seems that Si Tai must have been contaminated, otherwise what Tang Ning would be facing now would be a crazy and creative Si Tai. At this point, Tang Ning actually felt a little bit sorry...
Tangning reached out and patted Sitai on the shoulder, "You are worthy of me."
After chatting with Si Tai, Tang Ning looked at the other players, his eyes swept across the doubtful faces. When Tang Ning found that these people were afraid of him, his confidence was strengthened.
A smile appeared on his face. "Let's all come and have a chat."
This smile was slightly different from Tang Ning's previous one. It was no longer the overly soft smile of the past, and his head was no longer lowered as usual. Although he still had the aura of a true leader, he did not look like a timid lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
The invisible "he" stood beside Tang Ning, tilting his head slightly and looking at the smiling face of the black young man in white robe.
"He" seemed to like this smile very much. Not only did he stare at Tangning, he couldn't help but laugh. His smile was both alluring and flamboyant, making this face that looked exactly like Tangning show a completely different brightness.
Tang Ning walked forward and suddenly felt his body getting a little cold.
"He" reached out and walked with Tang Ning arm in arm. One of them walked in a gentle, reserved and ethereal manner, while the other was arrogant and full of energy.
It’s just that “he” looks a lot more unreal.
It's like an afterimage that will eventually disappear.
