I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

Under Zhang Yangqing's command, the two monkeys quickly subdued the people in the fog.

When Zhang Yangqing led the black-backed monkey king and the broken-horn goat through the fog, he saw a man in a brown short-sleeved shirt being pressed to the ground with his face against the wet ground.

“It hurts, it hurts, be gentle!” the man wailed, with a rusty bicycle lying next to him.

Zhang Yangqing squatted down and looked him straight in the eye: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man in short sleeves raised his head with difficulty: "Brother, are these your pets? I'm not weird, I'm a normal person!"

This guy tried his best to tell Zhang Yangqing that he was not in danger.

In fact, there is no need to do so. This guy looks very weak.

"Answer my question first." Zhang Yangqing's voice left no room for doubt.

"I'm from Fengrao City. My sister said she wanted to come here to watch a circus show and never came back. I came here to look for her, but I got lost in the fog and somehow ended up back at the exit." The man in the short-sleeved shirt said, panting.

Zhang Yangqing carefully observed the man's clothes. The thin short-sleeved shirt looked out of place in the cold mist.

If they were native to Chengjin City, they might not wear so little.

But this is just a preliminary judgment. Zhang Yangqing is still a relatively cautious person.

He motioned to the monkey to loosen up a little, and then directed the broken-horn goat to check the wheel tracks on the ground.

There was no way. There was fog all around here, and it was difficult for Zhang Yangqing to see the marks on the ground while standing. The broken-horn goat could see while walking, which was really convenient.

In addition, it must be able to understand human language and know what Zhang Yangqing's purpose is, so it cooperates very well.

After the Broken-Horn Goat observed the wheel marks, it was found that they were indeed extending from the outside. Only then did Zhang Yangqing let the two monkeys let the man in short sleeves go.

"Chengjin City is very dangerous. If you believe me, leave. Tell me what your sister looks like and I will help you find her."

The reason why Zhang Yangqing said this was that as an old chosen one, he was keenly aware of the nature of the mission.

The short-sleeved man's anxious look doesn't seem fake. If he completes the task, he might get a reward.

Furthermore, he mentioned the circus, which was also where Zhang Yangqing was going.

The man in short sleeves struggled to sit up: "But. But"

Zhang Yangqing interrupted with a wave of his hand: "No buts, you can't survive here with your ability, and you don't want your sister to come home alive when you're already dead, right?"

Buddy, it’s not that I look down on you, but you can get lost here and can’t even get in, and you still want to find your sister?

This is already the world of ghost stories protecting you and not letting you go in to die.

If you could see the rules, you would know how dangerous it is.

It's your great fortune to see me here, and yet you're still not satisfied?

The man hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a photo from his pocket: "Okay. This is a photo of my sister, please."

After Zhang Yangqing took the photo, the man in short sleeves looked at Zhang Yangqing carefully and asked in confusion: "Excuse me, are you a tamer?"

Zhang Yangqing nodded: "Yes."

The short-sleeved man's eyes suddenly lit up: "My sister likes to watch animal training performances very much. I hope that our Fengrao City will also have its own circus."

Zhang Yangqing put the photo into his pocket, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, I'll have it when I get back." Watching the man pushing the bicycle out of Chengjin City and walking along the road to Fengrao City, Zhang Yangqing turned and looked at the city shrouded in thick fog. The crisis of Zhang Yangqing as the chosen one was temporarily resolved.

The reason why Zhang Yangqing was so nervous just now was because he mistakenly thought that the man in short sleeves was from Chengjin City.

Rule 8 is triggered here.

[Rule 8: People in this city are very xenophobic. You'd better not let people know that you are from outside, otherwise you will get into trouble.]

If the man in short sleeves was really from this city, Zhang Yangqing would definitely kill him to silence him, so as to avoid any accidents.

Before entering, Zhang Yangqing also analyzed the rules based on the current intelligence.

Even though I just came in, I have already obtained some information.

The most important thing to note here is Rule 1.

[Rule 1: Please always pay attention to the people around you. If they leave your sight and come back to you, they are no longer trustworthy.]

According to Zhang Yangqing's understanding, if the four pets around him were out of sight for a while and he could not find them, then when they appeared again, they might not be the same ones as before.

This not only means four pets, but also a pit. Zhang Yangqing has even judged that danger is about to occur.

Next comes an intriguing rule, which is Rule 2.

[Rule 2: Orange Gold City is a very special city. Screams can only be heard in breweries, circuses, and hamburger shops. If you hear screams in other places, immediately go to a nearby popcorn shop and buy some popcorn to eat, otherwise you will be in danger.]

If this wasn't a rule, Zhang Yangqing would even suspect that this was an advertisement by the popcorn shop owner.
However, Zhang Yangqing still made a normal analysis, because this rule contained many clues, and even ran through his main mission of coming to this city, as well as some side missions.

The first thing to do is to grasp the keyword "circus". If you want to challenge other circuses, you must find the right circus.

The ticket seller said that there is a circus in Chengjin City called the 'Aquarius Circus'.

If you see a circus, you must hear screams near it, then it is a real circus.

That's one of the clues to determine if the circus is right, going to the wrong one will definitely be dangerous.

So the short-sleeved guy’s sister went missing, perhaps because she went to the wrong circus?
This is Zhang Yangqing’s analysis for now; there are no other clues.

Next are the [brewery] and [burger shop] mentioned in Rule 2.

One of them provides drinks and the other provides food.

As for why the screams occurred, Zhang Yangqing, like other chosen ones, questioned the "raw materials" of these two places.

This is a world of ghost stories, so it is normal for the scenes that appear in the minds of the chosen ones to happen.

Zhang Yangqing doesn’t know what the purpose of the hamburger shop is for the time being, but the brewery may be the place that needs to be found. Here, it is necessary to contact other rules, that is, Rule 5.

[Rule 5: Plants cannot talk. When you come across a talking plant, water it with red water and eat the fruit it produces. You will become very lucky within a certain period of time.]

Zhang Yangqing thought that since "red water" could make plants bear fruit, and the winery was mentioned, wasn't it just telling the chosen ones how to obtain "red water"?
Perhaps some of the chosen ones would think, why bother with all that, why not just catch a living creature and give it a knife? Or give it to yourself?

But then again, the rules only say that red water will make the talking plants bear fruit, but it doesn't say how much is needed.

What if it’s not enough even after draining it?
