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

After hearing Zhang Yangqing's words, the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes widened her eyes, her heart filled with turmoil.

Oh right, that statement doesn't seem wrong either!

No wonder my former teammates never survived, whether they boarded the living ship or the dead ship.

It turns out the problem wasn't the ship's location, but rather the way they boarded it!
She couldn't help but admire Zhang Yangqing's exceptional intelligence and ingenious thinking.

These seemingly unorthodox and even illogical methods are often the key to deciphering the rules of ghost stories.

Who would think of voluntarily "becoming a dead person" to board a dead ship?
This requires immense courage and a profound understanding of the rules!
However, looking at the boats on the dock, appearing and disappearing in the thick fog and exuding an eerie and ominous aura, the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes seemed to have thought of some practical difficulties. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she spoke:

"Big Brother's idea is indeed amazing, but how can we, as 'dead people,' sneak in? We can't just walk in openly, or the rules will definitely catch us."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yangqing's lips curled into a slightly enigmatic smile. He pointed to the coarse cloth clothes he had "borrowed" from the laborer and asked in return:
"Do you think I went through all that trouble to get these clothes just to disguise myself as a laborer? Think again, what can they possibly be used for?"

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes seemed a little confused by the shocking conclusion she had reached earlier. Subconsciously, she thought along the lines of a "laborer" and asked doubtfully, "We pretend to be laborers, carrying goods inside? And sneak onto the ship during loading and unloading?"

Zhang Yangqing shook his head, looking at her speechlessly with a "you're hopeless" expression, his tone slightly teasing:
"Are you stupid? We're playing the role of 'corpses'! Can corpses move on their own? Don't forget the work process of the laborers. They move the cargo on the ship to the warehouse, and at the same time, they move some cargo that needs to be transported out of the warehouse and load it onto the ship. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes suddenly realized something, and a look of enlightenment appeared on her face. She clapped her hands sharply:

"I understand! We don't need to do anything ourselves! We just need to play the role of 'cargo,' or more precisely, 'corpses' that need to be transported, and hide in those cargo boxes or body bags that are destined to be loaded onto the 'dead ship' in advance!"
Let those rule-abiding laborers, unaware of our actions, unwittingly load us onto a dead ship like ordinary cargo!

Having figured out the key details, she felt a deep admiration for Zhang Yangqing's planning.

It turns out that he had been laying the groundwork for this plan from the moment he snatched the laborer's clothes!
This far-sighted strategic planning ability secretly alarmed her.

She immediately adopted an even more admiring expression, her tone filled with exaggerated praise and flattery: "Big brother is truly amazing! It turns out that you had already made a complete plan from the very beginning when you got this outfit! Every step was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. I am truly in awe of you!"

She increasingly felt that following this meticulous and powerful elder brother might actually lead her to the Tree of Immortality and resolve her impending death.

After all, her time is running out, and she must find a way to prolong her life as soon as possible.

However, this thought only flashed through my mind.

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes was outwardly respectful to Zhang Yangqing, even wearing loyalty and admiration on her face, as if she had completely submitted to him and would do anything he asked.

But deep within her heart, in that unfathomable abyss, she was already calmly plotting how to break the death restriction that Zhang Yangqing had planted on her, that mark that was like a rule of death.

After all, in her original world, she was also an unparalleled tyrant who could command the winds and rains and control the fate of billions of living beings. She was arrogant and had extraordinary means.

Her temporary forbearance was for a bigger scheme. How could she allow herself to forever be like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy, with her life and death in the hands of others?
Once she gets the chance, she will definitely retaliate without hesitation.

One yard owned by a yard.

She clearly distinguished between cooperation and covert scheming. Her inner thoughts were complex and varied, but Zhang Yangqing seemed completely oblivious, or rather, utterly indifferent to her little schemes.

He steered the conversation back to the most crucial question, asking calmly, "Don't get too excited yet. The plan depends on finding the right ship. Tell me, how do you distinguish between a live ship and a dead ship?"

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes composed herself, knowing this was the time to demonstrate her worth. She dared not delay and quickly revealed the crucial information she had painstakingly gathered:
"Brother, I've been observing here for a long time, and it's all about the statues on the prows of the ships! Every ship has a strangely shaped statue on its prow; that's the most direct way to tell what kind of ship it is."
The statue's eyes are open, indicating a living ship; its eyes are closed, indicating a dead ship. This method of judgment should be correct; I've observed it many times before, and the characteristics are very obvious.

Zhang Yangqing nodded slightly. This intelligence was indeed crucial. Other chosen ones would probably have to go to great lengths to deal with the unpredictable laborers and villagers at the docks and pay a huge price to obtain this information, and they might not even be able to get the truthful information.

He learned this from his temporary teammate effortlessly, saving him a lot of time and energy.

Having obtained this definitive method of judgment, Zhang Yangqing's mind began to work at lightning speed, piecing together all the fragmented clues and clarifying the complete steps and objectives of the next action:
Step 1: Accurately locate the target vessel.

He needs to use the "statue opening and closing eyes" method provided by the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes to first filter out all the "dead ships" from the seven different types of boats at the dock.

Then, combining the clue in Rule 3 about the blood-red aura of the "River of Reversal," carefully search among these dead ships for the specific "dead ship" that might have subtle "dark red" marks on its hull and is likely located in the area of ​​the Undying Tree.

This ship is their ultimate goal.

Step 2: Achieve the state of being "judged as dead".

Step 3: Locate the correct "goods" and hiding place.

Step 4: Patience and Arrival.

Once successfully loaded onto the ship, they must remain in a state of absolute "death" throughout the entire voyage, without emitting any breath or moving around freely.

They must endure until the ship reaches its destination, where they are once again unloaded as cargo by laborers and brought to a relatively safe area before they can be "revived" and begin the next stage of exploration.

Of course, how to revive is also crucial, and countermeasures need to be prepared for the dangers that may be encountered after disembarking.

The entire plan was meticulously crafted, with each step fraught with unknown risks, yet the underlying strategy remained remarkably clear.

Zhang Yangqing's gaze swept over the fog-shrouded dock and the faint outlines of warehouses in the distance. He concluded, "Therefore, the most urgent task now is to figure out the details of these warehouses and find the starting point of the 'correct assembly line.' We'll split up and carefully observe the patterns of the laborers' handling, paying particular attention to those dead ships with dark red hulls, and figuring out which warehouse their cargo came from."

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes was deeply moved. She nodded emphatically, "Understood, brother! I will investigate carefully!"

Zhang Yangqing wasn't afraid of her trickery, after all, her purpose was obvious, and his life was in his own hands.

Without another word, the two, under the cover of mist and shadow, silently blended into the vast and eerie operating system of the dock, like two ghosts, and began making final preparations for the extremely dangerous "death voyage".

Meanwhile, the chairman, who was working alone during this period, also reaped the rewards. (End of Chapter)
