Chapter 13 A glimmer of hope

The other survivors gathered at the door of Fang Zhi's room.

Wen Chao's eyes were slightly red. He stood there for a long time and finally let out a long sigh.

"Oh, what a pity."

He rubbed his face and turned away.

He has more important things to do than remembering his students. Ghosts and evil spirits really exist in this blessed land, so things that are impossible in reality may also happen here.

Maybe... we can meet again.

……

Other people's moods were not very good either.

Yesterday was their first day in the blessed land. Although Lu Yuzhu’s death had given them a great shock, she was a stranger to them after all. They regarded Lu Yuzhu as a part of the background of the blessed land, and they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

But the one who died today was Fang Zhi, who acted with them yesterday!

The broken heads irritated their eyes, and they finally felt the cruelty of the blessed land. The next person to die like this could be any one of them.

Fear is like waterweed in deep water, entangled in everyone's heart.

Especially Yue Mei.

She was so frightened that her legs went weak and she had to lean against the wall to barely stand. Her pale face was covered in sweat and she was almost frightened to faint. She slowly moved to the side of Wu Xian, who was watching the fun, and asked with trembling lips.

"I, I'm a little scared. Can I stay with you tonight?"

There was a girl with good looks who asked to live together. If it happened in the outside world, Wu Xian might have agreed, but this was a blessed land, so he shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I can't take that risk, I hope you understand."

When Yue Mei heard Wu Xian's words, her eyes dimmed. Wu Xian was the last one to go out. She had asked other people, and no one was willing to agree to her request.

Just as she was about to go out this morning, she found a letter stuffed through the crack of the door.

The content of the letter is like this:

'Your room has been marked. I have wiped off the fingerprints for you, but I don't know if it will help. You'd better move to another place tonight. If no one accepts you, you can try to seek help from the indigenous survivors. Since they can survive in the blessed land until now, they must have a way to avoid evil spirits.'

At first, Yue Mei didn't believe the contents of the letter.

But when she went out, she found that there were indeed traces of wiping on her door compared to yesterday.

Then she remembered that when Yu Yinghua came to knock on the door last night, she accidentally touched the corner of the table. The sound was very small, but what if Yu Yinghua heard it?
Thinking of this, Yue Mei's heart suddenly accelerated, and she realized that the contents of the letter were all true!

So she turned to others for help.

But the situation in Fudi is unclear and everyone's life is threatened. How can anyone dare to accept her rashly?
Now, she has no way to go.

She stayed there for a long time, constantly cheering herself up, and finally made up her mind, took some supplies, and went to look for other survivors in the blessed land.

……

"Hey, she's finally gone."

Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yue Mei leaving.

Of course he stuffed the letter.

He disliked Qi Zhiyong, but had no ill will towards Yue Mei.

In case the evil spirit killed someone and it had nothing to do with the handprint, if he wiped off the handprint in front of Yue Mei's door, it would be equivalent to harming her and making her unable to prepare for the impending danger.

Hence this letter.

Giving her an idea for a possible way to survive was a form of compensation for having tricked her.

Wu Xian got Chenhua Cliff Cypress Incense in Fang Zhi's room. He planned to go to the place where he killed Mr. Wang yesterday to worship the gods, and then try to find the statue.

Now Wu Xian can use his True Fire Curse twice more, and his Copper Coin Sword can stab eight times, so he will basically not be at a disadvantage in a head-on fight with ordinary wandering monsters.

But the real danger in the blessed land is never the ghosts that attack head-on. The methods of ghosts are hard to guard against, and it is very likely that when you encounter danger, you will not have the opportunity to use the True Fire Curse Copper Coin Sword. A trap, a vase, or a rope can suddenly take your life.

Not to mention the mysterious monster whose details are unknown and who has not yet made a direct appearance.

As soon as he walked downstairs, he saw Shi Ji coming towards him.

"Brother, why did you just come down? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Wu Xian asked curiously, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Shi Ji patted Wu Xian on the shoulder and said, "You were bullied so badly by that Qi guy. It reminded me of my past self, so I will take you to find some good stuff today."

Wu Xian was alert: "You're not cooking today?"

"We're eating large intestines today. I washed them yesterday. Yesterday they were braised in red sauce, and today they're braised with scallions!"

Shi Ji waved his hand and said seriously.

"And if you want to survive in the blessed land, you can't waste your time cooking and expect others to protect you? Can you count on that Qi?"

"Then the good thing you mentioned is..."

Shi Ji looked around, then came close to Wu Xian and whispered in his ear, "Have you seen the statue of the god since you entered the blessed land?"

Wu Xian was shocked. Could it be that this guy saw through my disguise?

Without waiting for Wu Xian to speak, Shi Ji spoke mysteriously.

"I have seen it. I have seen several of them!"

"I felt from the beginning that Qi Zhiyong was not trustworthy, so I secretly observed him during the breaks in the cooking process."

"His weapons were all found in a dark room in the hotel. You can tell from one glance that they were all covered in blood. He also found a statue there!"

"After he worshipped the gods, a dagger shining with cold light suddenly appeared in his hand!"

"This shit-eating guy also told us to stay away from the idols. It turns out that only by worshipping the gods can we save our lives in the blessed land."

Wu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly.

There is a dark room in the hotel, and there are various weapons in the dark room. This hotel is really abnormal. I am afraid that before the evil disaster broke out, it was also a dangerous place.

In addition, Shi Ji has just discovered the function of the statue, which shows that he, a "favored person" who can worship the gods from the beginning, is indeed special.

Since Shi Ji has clues about the statue, we might as well cooperate with him for the time being.

So Wu Xian pretended to be angry.

"That Qi Zhiyong is such a jerk. I wish he had a son with many beautiful girls. Yesterday, it was clearly me..."

When Wu Xian was cursing, Shi Ji echoed him.

"That's right, that's right. Don't expect him to protect us. It's good enough that he doesn't take advantage of us."

Then Wu Xian looked puzzled again.

"Since you already know the truth, why don't you go find it yourself instead of telling me."

Shi Ji patted his chest and said, "I just feel the same way about what you're going through, so I want to help you."

"Really? I don't believe it."

"Well, here's the thing..."

Shi Ji smiled embarrassedly.

"I know there are two statues in a place, but I can't handle it by myself. Can you help me? How about we split the statues in half after we're done?"

"make a deal!"
