After a while, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing stood at the foot of Xinheju. They stared at the dark hill villa for a moment, wondering why there was no light in the bedroom on the second floor.
Mei Ru Z was obviously staying in the house, but the whole small building was not lit up.
Tan Muxing was stunned: "Miss Ru Z has already rested?"
"Impossible..." Chu Qianli subconsciously calculated, she ran upstairs in a hurry, just about to knock on the door, but saw the door slowly opened, revealing a familiar face in the dark.
"You guys are back?" Mei Ru Z was slightly relieved when she saw the two, she was still holding the stick in her hand, she didn't know what to guard against.
Chu Qianli was curious: "Why didn't you turn on the light?"
"Someone broke into the villa next door. I didn't want to startle the enemy, so I didn't turn on the light." Mei Ru Z frowned, "It looks orderly, not an ordinary thief."
According to Meiru Z's description, after the two went to the reception, she was so sleepy that she didn't turn on the light, and simply lay down by the window to rest, but found suspicious-looking people standing nearby. She was lying on her side on the second floor. She didn't sit up, so she wasn't noticed by the people below. She observed the scene of the villa next door through the gap.
"I also secretly recorded the video. I was worried that they would come here, but it seems to be moving down."
Meiru Z took out her phone and showed the video to the two of them.
On the screen, a group of people were dressed in special clothes, looming in the dark, and their facial features could not be seen clearly. They circumvented the monitoring point, quickly climbed over the wall, and climbed up the wall under the cover of dark trees. Their actions were very organized, and they were obviously not security guards.
Meru Z's shooting angle was limited, and he couldn't see their actions after entering the house, nor the direction in which they left. If she hadn't been lying by the window all the time, she might not have seen this group of people at all. The whole action was so fast that it didn't even take a few minutes.
On Evening Star: "These guys are trained."
Chu Qianli was startled after watching the video, she subconsciously touched the Tarot in her pocket, and went to talk about the compass in Mu Xing's bag to confirm that the two keys were safe and sound.
Meiru Z noticed her small movements and said, "The reaction is the same as mine. I don't know where to put the broken bell. I just checked it in the house, for fear of being installed with a camera or a monitor."
The mobility of this group of nightcrawlers frightened Mei Ruz, she had just started to check carefully in the house, lest someone sneaked in while they were not prepared.
"Probably not from Monderson." Chu Qianli frowned, "It's not now that they are looking for trouble."
Chu Qianli and Lin have just reached an agreement, and it's not time to tear their faces apart. Even if Lin really wanted to snatch the keys from other people, he should go straight to Xinheju instead of wandering around the villa area to search.
This is more like a third-party force investigating the situation.
Lin's private interview made Chu Qianli understand one thing, that is, Mondsen only fully grasped two keys, and the remaining key owners may not have a unified opinion.
She now has a compass and Tarot, Mei Ru Z has Sanqingling in her hand, Xu Zaiyuan holds a mahogany sword, and the whereabouts of the last one is still unknown.
"The crux of the problem now is that this place is not safe at all, and we don't even know who to tell about this." Meiru Z was helpless, "This week has been really messy, first the foreigners beat foreigners, then the haunted house incident, Now I see these people again."
The three of them stayed for less than a week, but they encountered a lot of things.
Chu Qianli and the others didn't know whether Nightcrawler was an enemy or a friend, so they naturally fell into a state of indecision.
It stands to reason that there are only candidates who participated in the second round of screening in the villa area, but now there are well-trained groups of unknown origin.
Chu Qianli told Meiru Z about the meeting with Lin alone, and said: "The people who come here to participate in the competition cannot be trusted, no matter if they are Chinese or foreigners, we will not know their identities until the end, so let's each get a key first. , such a situation will not be affected."
Since Lin can meet them alone, it is also possible to win over others.
"I sent a message to Uncle Qi, they should be nearby, and they can respond at any time if there is a situation." Tan Muxing contacted Uncle Qi on his mobile phone, hoping that the other party would keep in touch with the police to prevent accidents in the subsequent selection.
Inside the Crane Residence, Liu Jun said seriously: "I have already reported to the higher-ups, but apart from the one in Meiru Z's hands, I'm not sure where the rest are, and whether they are all under Mondsen's control."
"If the remaining five items are in their hands, it will be difficult for us to negotiate with the other party in the future. At the beginning, we said that we would negotiate after selection, but now it seems that the situation is not good. In addition, there have been many actions by the consulate recently, and the water has been stirred up more and more. muddy."
Liu Jun participated in the selection as a Qianmen, and he confronted Chu Maxian during the selection. He looked like a Taoist priest who hated evil, but in fact he had another hidden identity.
He and Xu Zaiyuan came here under orders, and Xu Gan would not have let his apprentice go down the mountain if there were no special requirements.
"The rest can't be in their hands, otherwise they won't be in a hurry to suppress them. Recently, other teams have been watching us closely. It is estimated that someone secretly instructed us." Xu Zaiyuan said, "Where are those three people?"
"Mei Ru Z really doesn't have any friends. She seems to have close communication with those two people, and there is no breakthrough in other places, but she used to deal with the Shi family, and Shi Zhuoqu is from Mondsen..." Liu Jun sighed softly, "The rest The two are still fresh graduates, and they had contact with religious associations before, and we have already gone to the person in charge at that time to see if we can pull them aside."
There are huge interests behind the baby stone mine, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be no double-faced agents.
Liu Jun and the others don't dare to confess to others easily now. They pay attention to the outstanding figures in the team, and then privately investigate whether they can be trusted and won over.
The next day, the selection started again, and everyone reunited in Tingfeng Xiaoyulou.
Lin on the stage held a special badge in his hand. He looked around in a friendly manner, and then glanced at Chu Qianli and the others inadvertently.
Chu Qianli pretended not to notice, she tilted her head and joked with Tan Muxing and Meiru Z, as if she didn't charge the other party's huge deposit last night at all.
A observed Lin's micro expression, looked at Chu Qianli thoughtfully, and said regretfully, "I thought you would make a better choice."
A has already given advice in advance, but Chu Qianli seems to be with Lin, which makes him feel a little disappointed.
Chu Qianli looked back at him, but she didn't explain, but smiled and said, "You don't need to be so serious, just treat it as a game."
A: "Is this a game?"
Chu Qianli nodded: "Yes."
"Then what character are you in the game now?" A slightly raised his eyebrows, "Justice? Evil?"
Chu Qianli thought for a moment, she supported her chin, and said seriously: "If I have to say it, it should be a bug."
A: "?"
On the other side, Shi Zhuoqu announced the rules on the stage: "Thank you for gathering here again. Considering the progress of the follow-up projects, we have set up today's special selection. Simulated baby stones, candidate number plates and a special badge are placed in various places in the building. "
"Within the specified time, the examinee who collects the most simulated baby stones will get a special badge. At the same time, there is a badge hidden in the building. There are two badges in this round of selection. In addition, we place all the candidates' number plates everywhere to find other people's numbers. The number of simulated baby stones can be exchanged, but the found badges are not within the scope of exchange.”
Shi Zhuoqu took out a simulated baby stone: "This is the prop used in this round of selection, everyone can familiarize themselves with it in advance."
The simulated baby stones are actually uniquely designed red crystals, which are scattered everywhere as scoring props for this round.
Each person will also get a small bottle with the examinee's number plate number written on the mouth of the bottle, and the electronic device on the bottle cap will automatically calculate the number of simulated baby stones in the bottle. If you find someone else's number plate and swipe the card on the bottle cap instrument, the two parties will exchange the number of baby stones in each other's bottles.
Meiru Z: "Then as long as you find the badge, half of the selection is already won. After all, badges cannot be replaced by others."
If someone worked hard to collect the simulated baby stones, but was exchanged by others with a number plate, it would be a waste of work for no reason. But the special badge will not be exchanged, as long as it is found, it will be completely stabilized.
"Then you must look for a badge." Chu Qianli pinched his fingers immediately, "If I take another one, I will get two."
"The scope of the search is the Tingfengxiyu building and its vicinity. We have set up railings at the edge of the examination room. The simulated baby stones placed in the bottle after the time expires will not be counted. Now the countdown officially begins!"
"That means the more people you have, the faster you can collect stones?" Huang Jue said with a smile, "Then there are only three factions!"
The teams of Ganmen, Chumaxian and Qiao are the strongest, and their collection efficiency is naturally extraordinary.
Lilith sighed: "Why are you so tired, anyway, I don't want to look for it, as long as I can participate in the project, I'm not interested in badges."
Meiru Z: "I'll look for stones, you look for badges."
Chu Qianli persuaded: "Sister Ru Z, don't be so serious, it's fine as a game."
Having said that, Chu Qianli hurried out with Tan Muxing, looking for the special badge hidden outside according to the hexagram.
The sky is bright and the air is clear, the clouds are light and the wind is light.
There is no one on the hillside outside Tingfeng Drizzle Building, only lush bushes and tall trees.
Chu Qianli looked left and right according to the hexagram. She looked up at the sky from time to time, wondering: "Why does this hexagram point to the midair, northwest, and there are many shelters..."
The speed of her hexagrams has always been amazing, and now she wants to grab the badge, and rushes over non-stop, but the location of the object is really weird.
Tan Muxing accompanied her to look around. He had good eyesight. He caught a glimpse of something shining among the leaves in the distance, and then disappeared in a flash. It was faintly visible in the wind under the shade of the tree, and hurriedly said: "Is that? It's too far away, look Unclear."
There is a tall tree in the northwest of the hillside, and the emblem seems to be suspended between the leaves.
"Go and have a look."
The two immediately set off. They ran towards the big tree, but found another team on the half slope!
Xu Zaiyuan and others also found two people.
Liu Jun said in disbelief: "They are too fast."
Xu Zaiyuan's hexagram was really fast, but Chu Qianli and others did not give up.
Xu Zaiyuan quickened his pace without saying a word, and ran towards the big tree in the northwest without hesitation.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chu Qianli hurriedly said, "Xingxing!"
Chu Qianli is not used to running on the hillside, and he is not as fast as Xu Zaiyuan who has been on the mountain all year round. She didn't want to hold back, so she immediately called her parents.
Tan Muxing immediately understood and started racing with each other!
The two sides sprinted up from the left to the right, and they were evenly matched from the naked eye!
The Taoist priests were amazed: "You can run almost as fast as the little uncle?"
It was inconvenient for Xu Zaiyuan to go down the mountain, he almost visited the dry mountain, and no one could run faster on the mountain road.
Chu Qianli put his toes on his hips proudly: "Of course! Your mountains used to be owned by others!"
