Chapter 106 Cheating Transaction
The cold rope tightened instantly.
Before Zhao Xiaofu could take down the rope, she was hung in the air.
She tried to stretch her legs and use the stool for leverage, but she couldn't reach it. She tried to use her hands to create a gap between her neck and the rope, but her oxygen-deprived brain made her body lose control.
In fact, it looked like she was just kicking and waving her arms randomly...
Su Mi, who was near the bookshelf, saw this scene and immediately wanted to save people, but as soon as he moved, he was whipped and flew away.
Su Mi felt a burning pain on one side of his body, and for a moment he could hardly stand up.
There was also a whip mark on the table of Wu Xian and the other three. This was Liu Xiucai's warning to the three of them, telling them not to interfere in Zhao Xiaofu's death and ruin his mood.
So Wu Xian and the other three could only watch as Zhao Xiaofu struggled weakly, gradually lost her strength, and eventually her eyeballs bulged out and her tongue stuck out, and she lost her life in an extremely miserable and painful manner.
Under the dim candlelight, the posture of Zhao Xiaofu hanging from the ground was chilling.
Witnessed this long death.
The mentality of the five people present all changed.
Du E had no expression on her face and just stared at the corpse for a while.
Su Mi hammered the floor hard and got up silently.
Jiang Xianglan covered her mouth and cried, unable to bear to look towards the compartment. She and Zhao Xiaofu were very good friends, otherwise they would not have traveled together. But under the threat of Liu Xiucai's whip, she didn't even dare to cry out loud, let alone save her friend.
Wu Xian looked gloomy, with a hint of violence and murderous intent in his eyes.
He had seen many deaths in the blessed land, but he never thought that those deaths were special.
When he saw death, there was only a corpse left, or he was powerless to help even though he wanted to, or the deceased deserved to die. Sometimes Wu Xian even killed the person himself.
Only Qi Zhiyong's death brought some shock to Wu Xian.
Zhao Xiaofu’s death did not shock us, but gave us another feeling.
"What's different this time..."
"Maybe it's because she's not a bad person. I might have the ability to save her, but I didn't do anything about it, and I witnessed her long death..."
Wu Xian did not regret not saving people.
He once told Jing Ke that nothing was worth sacrificing, so even if he had the chance to do it all over again, Wu Xian would still watch Zhao Xiaofu die.
In this cruel land of blessings, everything must be considered for profit and survival. Blindly wasting your few means for strangers whose survival rate is already low will only reduce your own probability of survival.
But even though Wu Xian knew all of this, he still felt a little upset.
Wu Xian let out a long sigh, shook his head, and threw away all his messy thoughts.
The most important thing now is to ensure your own survival and try to obtain maximum benefits in this room.
Different from the four humans.
Mr. Liu is in high spirits now.
His big bulging eyes flashed with satisfaction and joy. Zhao Xiaofu's struggle before death was the most graceful dance to him.
A good performance goes well with food.
So Mr. Liu reached into the food box, grabbed something out of it, put it in his mouth and chewed it with a crunching sound. The fishy juice covered his lips, and then a fat tongue rolled it all into his mouth.
The snack he ate turned out to be a fat and strong southern cockroach!
This scene made Jiang Xianglan and Du E extremely disgusted.
But Wu Xian's eyes moved slightly.
He suddenly thought of something.
"Assuming that my previous guess that the Liu family's grandmother was a snake demon was correct, then the guy who gave the young master a lesson and was able to gain a certain amount of respect might also be some kind of monster!"
"He has a fat head, a big mouth, a face full of acne, bulging eyes, a big belly that eats cockroaches, and he uses the whip very well..." "This Mr. Liu might be a toad!"
After having this guess, Wu Xian remembered the posture of Liu Xiucai when he checked the homework of Su Mi and Zhao Xiaofu.
When he was looking at the rice paper, he kept shaking the paper!
This may mean that Mr. Liu, like the toad, has excellent dynamic vision but weak static vision!
If this is true, it would be very feasible!
If you want to survive in the study, maybe you just need to dawdle until dawn. You can avoid most risks by not checking your homework or selecting test papers.
But just staying alive would not satisfy Wu Xian.
In this blessed land, the order of entering the tombs is very important, which means that each tomb is not isolated.
Perhaps the harvest from the study tomb will affect their survival in another tomb, or it may be related to the acquisition of some kind of reward. No matter which possibility it is, as long as Wu Xian cannot get the birthday gift, he will definitely suffer a loss.
But if we follow Liu Xiucai's rules.
With Wu Xian's level of writing, it was impossible for him to write an article that met the requirements, and he would not have the opportunity to receive the birthday gift.
Therefore, Wu Xian planned to break Liu Xiucai's rules!
Wu Xian wrote a line of words on the paper, and slowly lifted the paper to show it to Liu Xiucai. As expected, Liu Xiucai was indifferent to what was written on the paper.
Du E glanced at the words on the paper and her expression suddenly became tense.
There were seven big words written on the paper.
"Master Liu is truly a god!"
Speechless, Du E immediately understood Wu Xian's intention.
Wu Xian wanted to convey information in this way, so he conducted a test first.
But it is not easy to choose the test. If you curse Liu Xiucai, you may anger him. If you write meaningless words, Liu Xiucai may ignore you or even notice your intention. Therefore, only by flattering Liu Xiucai in a disgusting way can you test whether he can see the words on the paper clearly.
After the test is completed.
Du E and Wu Xian started writing on paper at the same time.
After a moment, both of them slowly lifted the paper.
Wu Xian wrote: "I can help you get the birthday gift, can you help me get his eyes away?"
The words written by Du E need to be deciphered: "I can knock over his food box, can you help me pass on a copy of the article?"
The two of them wrote at the same time.
Wu Xian wrote 'Yes!'
Du E made a check mark.
After communicating with Du E, Wu Xian communicated with the frightened Jiang Xianglan under the nose of Liu Xiucai.
"Write me two short essays and I'll help you get your birthday present!"
Jiang Xianglan was already very afraid of receiving birthday gifts because of Zhao Xiaofu's experience. After hearing Wu Xian's words, she immediately nodded rapidly.
While waiting for Jiang Xianglan to write, Wu Xian began to write and draw on rice paper with a brush. Anyway, what he wrote could not satisfy Liu Xiucai, so he might as well just throw it away.
After a while.
Jiang Xianglan had written two articles and had checked them to be correct. The next question was how to pass the articles to Wu Xian and the other person.
If he handed it over directly, he would not only be whipped, but the short essay he had written with great difficulty would also be torn to pieces. However, Liu Xiucai was staring at him, so he couldn't hand it over secretly.
Wu Xian was well prepared for this.
He winked at Du E, and a cheating operation officially began.
