Chapter 96: Useless to People

"Ignore them." Zheng Chen came to the backyard with a more serious expression. He squatted down and twisted a subtle and inaccurate silk thread on the ground. The end of the thread had broken. The thread was very fragile. It would break immediately after a little pull, but if no one touched it, it would not break.

I checked the traps arranged elsewhere, and there were no traces of being touched.

"Have you been here?" Zheng Chen asked in a low voice when he heard the footsteps behind him.

"No," replied Siya, "Is there anything wrong with Lei being with me today?"

"..." Zheng Chen stared at the useless silk thread in his hand and patrolled the backyard again. There were still no abnormal signs. The more he did this, the more he paid attention to it. Since the prefabricated silk thread was broken, he would not want to go in the direction of independent fracture, even if the possibility was not low.

But there is another possibility.

Choosing the former may be easier and nothing will happen. If the latter is not going to happen in the end, it will be wasted some energy, but it is worth it to be able to eliminate possible hidden dangers.

And once something happens, it will be even more worthwhile!

"We will change places to stay tonight." Zheng Chen threw the silk thread down and said immediately.

Xi Ya looked at Zheng Chen in confusion and nodded gently. After Zheng Chen made the decision, if she had no good reason to say anything to Zheng Chen, it would be useless, even if Lei came, she didn't know what was going on here.

He did not plan to be here until he investigated the possibilities of hidden dangers here, especially at night.

In the following days, the matter on the cemetery was made other arrangements, and Zheng Chen had nothing to do. In addition to his residence, Zheng Chen never had any more incidents since that night, just as if the wrong thing happened before was really just an illusion.

Looking at the room with increasingly rich decorations around, Zheng Chen shook his head and took his eyes back from Xi Ya who was taking care of a pot of flowers. He looked out the window and was slightly distracted. In recent times, I don’t know what happened to the players collectively, and the number of people suddenly increased.

Moreover, the cemetery matter has been made public, and it is very troubled among the players. After all, there is a special grass leaf there that can pay some fees to make the poison-proof pill that is very effective for players at this stage.

However, the danger there is very high, and many players who try it back miserably.

What Zheng Chen cares even more about is their inadvertently leaked "task system". What updates are going to be made in the near future by the real game company they are in? The update time seems to be when the game and the real time are completely reversed.

In addition, the information Zheng Chen collected is basically the same. Just because they know it from the new players who have newly joined the game. Old players may know more, but they basically don’t talk about these contents in places with indigenous people now, even if these ‘sensitive words’ have been blocked by the game system behind them.

Zheng Chen seemed to figure out what kind of existence the game system was, and the real situation of this world... After being threatened by the game system again and again, how could Zheng Chen not care!

I shook my head. These are not something I can think about now. My own affairs cannot be solved overnight, let alone other things that cannot be found overnight.

Moreover, if he solves his own affairs, he cares about the other things that he can solve as well... However, he currently has no idea what the real world the player is in.

The next day, a group of people dressed in strange clothes came to Linxi Village. Looking at their outfits, Zheng Chen recalled some records in the documents dug in the wasteland. Are these people... Taoist priests?

Probably so.

The curiosity was suppressed by Zheng Chen as soon as it arose. The players were quite new at that time. Now many players have joined some forces. Well, for them, there are many forces in the game world, including sects, gangs, and even gangsters. As long as they want to find something, they will not worry about not being able to find a way.

It’s just that the learning process makes them suffer and happy. Learning is one thing, but being able to get exposed to special forces makes them even more excited.

These people are professionals who Ping Shijie has found to solve the abnormal cemetery. After they arrived here, they went straight to the village chief's residence and retracted their gaze. Just now, the villagers came to his residence.

Ping Shizhi looked for him... The reason for finding Zheng Chen again was very simple, just to tell the situation of the cemetery. Although the player named Zhao Wen had said it before, in terms of his true understanding, Ping Shizhi believed in Zheng Chen even more.

Among the Taoist priests, an older Taoist priest looked at Zheng Chen. When he saw his left hand wrapped around Fenghuang Talisman, he was a little confused. Then he shook his head gently. The world is so big, it is normal for him to not understand the runes above. He has specialized in his skills. The ability they master is a system, and it is impossible to understand all runes.

But... although he couldn't understand this rune, he could also sense a little difference, and it should be used to seal something.

The middle-aged Taoist priest also noticed the focus of Pingshijie, but he just glanced at it and skipped it directly. Zheng Chen had already made a conclusion in his mind when he saw this.

"This is Zheng Chen, a young man who lives in Linxi Village for the time being. I have entrusted him to inquire about the situation of the cemetery many times." Ping Shiqi said lightly.

"Since that's the case, it's not too late. We can act quickly. The situation can be told on the road." The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at the moment outside and said. When they came here, they had learned about the situation. Now they don't need to tell more about it. "You little brother, do you want to prepare?"

Zheng Chen shook his head.

Since this group of people who specialize in solving problems are here, he doesn't need to prepare too many things. The really important things are stored in the patterns. No matter how bad they are... it's better than black dog blood.

"Then I'll trouble you all."

After leaving the village chief's house, the nearby players couldn't help but come over, inquiring about their affairs, asking if they wanted to solve the abnormal situation in the cemetery, and many players even made a righteous proposal to solve it together.

As for how many people are sincere... Zheng Chen thinks this has nothing to do with him. If the environment there continues to deteriorate, no matter how many people with ordinary abilities go, they will basically be cannon fodder.

The middle-aged Taoist priest who took the lead responded very skillfully to reject these players, and obviously had many similar experiences.

The players who were rejected did not give up. After they left the village, they followed behind, obviously intending to get a share of the pie.

"Senior brother, these outsiders are really ungrateful." A young Taoist priest who had a somewhat irritable temper couldn't help but say.

The middle-aged Taoist priest shook his head. They had already figured out the situation of these outsiders very clearly. Now it is much better than the beginning. The situation in the past is so annoying. "Zhongyin, we have already dissuaded them. If they want to mislead themselves, we cannot force ourselves."

It’s not a relative or a good person, but friendly reminders are kind-hearted. They are not willing to accept what to do!

"I'm sorry, please explain what you need to know about." The middle-aged Taoist priest said to Zheng Chen.

Zheng Chen lightly told some of his experiences in the cemetery. The content was not much. Zheng Chen finished speaking soon, "This is just a few days ago."

"Well, it's just some insignificant zombies and vengeful spirits. Such things are prone to happening in that kind of place." The young Taoist priest Zhongyin raised his eyebrows and said, "This is not difficult to solve, I can take some time to deal with it."

"Don't be careless." The middle-aged Taoist priest shook his head and said helplessly, "Just walking zombies and resentful spirits are not a big deal. What's important is that all this may be dominated by someone."

"I know, I know." Zhong Yin waved his head bored. The fellow disciples beside him were used to it, "Speaking of it, Senior Brother, can you understand which runes are?"

It was quite boring to travel. After a while, Zhong Yin couldn't help it. He glanced at the Fenghuang Talisman that was wrapped around Zheng Chen's left hand and simply asked.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was not embarrassed, "There are so many types of runes."

"If you don't understand, just explain it directly. Why are you going around the bush?" Zhong Yin curled his lips, "I've asked myself."

The middle-aged Taoist priest shook his head with a wry smile. Zhong Yin's somewhat reckless behavior did not stop him. He was also curious. He learned endlessly. After encountering something he didn't know, it was normal to be curious about it.

"Your name is Zheng Chen, right? My name is Qi Zhongyin. Can you tell me which runes wrapped around your arm are?"

"Fenghuang Fu."

"Fenghuang Talisman?" Zhong Yin blinked in confusion and looked back at the middle-aged Taoist priest, "Do you know, senior brother?"

“…”

"That's just not knowing." Zhong Yin curled his lips, and the middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't help but cough twice, feeling helpless. In the sect, this junior brother was still abiding by the rules, but after going out, he was much more happy.

"Zheng Chen, what's the use of this thing?"

Zheng Chen glanced at Zhongyin with his eyes and said lightly, "It's useless to others."

"Oh! That's just a good look with you? Or are you not a human?"

“…”

"Continue to satisfy my curiosity. Can you stop talking? Don't feel bored?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand, "Okay, Zhongyin, come back first!"

Zhong Yin cut off and returned to the queue reluctantly. The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled apologetically at Zheng Chen, "My little junior brother has been holding it in the sect for a long time, and he is a little lively when he comes out. Please forgive me, my little brother. The old Taoist is also quite curious about this kind of rune. Can you please troubleshoot the doubts?"
