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

Zhang Yangqing was definitely stunned for a moment when he heard this information.

Close your eyes? It's that simple?
But with his judgment, he quickly analyzed the deeper issues and realized that the one who tied the knot must untie it.

Since the woman in gray was attacked with her eyes closed in the tunnel, the condition of "closing her eyes" must be related to the driver's experience.

Perhaps the key is to find out how the driver lost his sight.

Could it be that the strange consciousness kid's line of thinking was correct from the beginning?

Could finding better cigarettes give him information from the driver?
After all, the eerie consciousness had tried to strike up a conversation with the driver, but the driver just wouldn't say a word.

Why is the driver blind? Maybe he's afraid of breaking the rules and having his head ripped off, so we need to find out how he lost his eyes.

Wait.

The clue to this level might lie in the mouthless monster.

Because if the information about the Heartless Mystery is correct, the Mouthless Mystery used to have a mouth, but it was taken away by some "person" or some rule.

Similarly, the driver was likely also deprived of his eyesight.

This was Zhang Yangqing's judgment, and his thinking gradually became clear.

Actually, there are many ways to solve this problem. The three passengers who boarded the bus in front correspond to the three powerful and mysterious beings who boarded the bus later.

The chosen one can ask the woman in the white dress to contact the passenger in sunglasses.

In a sense, they were "the same kind," both giving off a very "cold" vibe, with similar auras, and the sunglasses-wearing passenger wouldn't attack her unprovoked.

The blindfolded passenger can be touched by the old man in the suit, since they are both human.

This is why Zhang Yangqing treated the blindfolded passengers relatively well.

He sensed from the beginning that the masked passenger exuded an overwhelming aura of murderous intent and bloodlust, as if he were deliberately releasing it to cover something up.

At the time, he wasn't entirely sure, but after removing the blindfold and seeing the pair of blind eyes, he was almost certain that they were human eyes.

Even if someone is blind, the eerie thing wouldn't look like this.

This is why passengers wearing blindfolds always wear them – they're afraid of being discovered.

As for the guy with the bizarre long hair, he's the most dangerous one.

The phrase in Rule 11, "If you encounter him, immediately look away," refers to him.

The condition that triggers his discovery that someone is human is when their eyes meet.

If other chosen ones discover this, they can avoid looking at him and thus not break the rules.

But Zhang Yangqing didn't care about any of that. So what if you know I'm human? You can't kill me, can you?

As we saw, the one who died was the one with long, bizarre hair.

However, if other chosen ones want to obtain information from him, there is a way: have the lady in gray contact him.

Zhang Yangqing had previously observed a detail: the long-haired man's eerie gaze would occasionally sweep over the gray-clad woman's voluptuous figure.

What does this mean?
This means he likes this kind of thing.

He wouldn't be so fierce towards the woman in gray.

Zhang Yangqing pulled himself together and began to analyze the situation again.

He recalled the rules, and one of them quickly caught his eye.

[Rule 13: The eerie city has no daytime. If you see a "sun" there, run immediately and don't look back. It's not the sun; it's "its" eye.]

This rule mentions the eyes.

Could it be that this "eye" refers to the driver's eyes?

The clever overlap between the rules and intelligence made Zhang Yangqing's thinking increasingly clear.

The information about this "sun" is probably contained in the information about these strange newcomers who have boarded the bus.

As for who it is, based on Zhang Yangqing's speculation, it should be the one wearing the blindfold.

Logical elimination method:
The passenger wearing sunglasses could actually see that, like the vast majority of passengers on the bus, he was sighted.

The driver is blind, and the person wearing the eye patch is blind; neither of them has vision. So here's the question: the "sun" mentioned in the rules is definitely not something a person with normal vision could see, because Zhang Yangqing can't see it.

Those who can see it are either eyeless or blind.

The driver was blind, but he smoked and drove the whole time, completely ignoring everyone.

Getting anything out of him is harder than climbing to heaven.

Therefore, the only breakthrough point is the blindfolded passengers.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yangqing got up and walked back to the blindfolded passenger.

The bespectacled passenger visibly stiffened, but this time his attitude was much more polite than before: "Is there anything else?"

He thought Zhang Yangqing was going to continue causing trouble.

He was calculating in his mind that if Zhang Yangqing's demands went too far, he was really prepared to fight this terrifying guy to the death; a scholar can be killed but not humiliated.

Zhang Yangqing sat down next to him and said casually, "If you do me a favor, I can waive your fare for the second round of transportation."

blindfolded passenger: "."

He didn't know how to complain for a moment.

Your beat-up bus didn't even have a conductor to begin with. If you're going to rob us outright, fine, but why ask for a second fare?
Besides, do I look like someone who needs your money for transportation? If you want my help, just say so!
But he could still sense Zhang Yangqing's "subtle threat".

He could only ask, "Tell me what you think, and I'll do my best."

Zhang Yangqing asked, "After you lost your sight, did you see anything that resembled the 'sun'? Or any luminous points?"

The blindfolded passenger paused for a moment, then frowned: "I don't know if it's just my imagination."

He paused, as if recalling something: "Ever since I went blind, every time I hear birds chirping, I can 'see' light moving in the sky. It's not that I see it with my eyes, I just can see it. It's very strange."

Birdsong?

Is the light moving?

Zhang Yangqing nodded.

This intelligence is crucial.

In that case, as long as we can find a place where birds live, we can see the "sun" and help the driver regain his sight.

"Do you know which station nearby has birds?" Zhang Yangqing asked.

The blindfolded passenger looked bewildered: "I don't know, aren't you the ticket seller?"

Zhang Yangqing rolled her eyes at him: "You're talking too much."

The blindfolded passenger immediately shut up, "Fine, I won't say anything more, okay?"

Zhang Yangqing then walked over to the passenger wearing sunglasses.

The passenger wearing sunglasses instinctively shrank back when he saw Zhang Yangqing approaching.

Zhang Yangqing didn't bother beating around the bush: "If I'm not mistaken, you probably don't know where the birds and beasts are either, right?"

The passenger in sunglasses paused for a moment, then shook his head: "I really don't know where there are birds or beasts."

He paused, then changed the subject: "But I know where there are a lot of demonic beasts, and it's hard to say whether there are any birds or beasts among them."

He stopped there.

It's obvious that if you want to know, you'll have to pay a price.

This is the last vestige of dignity for the strong. Having been humiliated so much just now, they are now determined to reclaim some of their pride.

Even if it's just a small thing he gets back, he'll feel better.

Zhang Yangqing smiled.

He took out the fare he had just received from the passenger in sunglasses from his pocket, counted out half of it, and handed it over: "Okay, I'll make an exception and give you a 50% discount."

The other passengers were stunned by what they saw.

Does this work too?
Steal his money, give him half, and consider that a favor? (End of Chapter)
