Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

"This is a matter of day and night. The problem is that it is an immortal corpse. Will the immortal corpse come out obediently just because you play such a trick?"

The performers were speechless.

In his opinion, Jiang Lu simply did not have the right mindset.

This is a question that concerns whether they can return safely. Why can he still face the problem with such a playful attitude?

But Jiang Lu has his own considerations.

He believed that as long as the immortal corpse was like the Red Mountain God and still had a soul when it was sealed, it would definitely appear.

He had played the psychic game the Four Corners Game too many times, and relying on the aura of the Lord of the Underworld, he had never failed.

If he didn't even have this little trapping technique, how could he have had the chance to encounter so many female ghosts before becoming an exorcist?

What the performer thought was a sudden inspiration was actually the result of Jiang Lu’s thousands of practice!
Facing the performer's doubts, Jiang Lu was unwilling to explain further, but just said calmly: "Either you give me a method that you think is useful, or if you have no other ideas, then listen to me."

"What's your attitude?" The performer couldn't stand it.

As a veteran among exorcists, when has he ever been pointed at and said this by a newcomer?

Wouldn't they have to follow me around and try to please me?
And whether in terms of qualifications, experience or ability, Jiang Lu is far behind him.

It is a bit crazy to say that it is difficult to achieve in this lifetime, but at least in the short term, Jiang Lu will not be able to catch up with him.

Even though we are all in the same situation now, we will all have to go back one day, right?
Why does he talk to me in this way?
Jiang Lu was just discussing the matter at first, but now he was inexplicably angry when he heard the performer say that: "No, we are here to solve the problem. What do you mean by asking me about my attitude? Are you still using the workplace tricks at this time?"

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become tense, Scythe felt a headache.

"Say less."

Scythe grabbed Jiang Lu and said to the performer:

"Now is not the time to argue about these things. Anyway, there is no other good way now, so let's try it according to what Jiang Bao said."

Although Scythe had no choice but to act as a peacemaker, he was actually very curious about why Jiang Lu was so confident.

After all, in the public's perception, psychic games are nothing more than a kind of psychological suggestion, not even superstition.

It was just that he had more trust in Jiang Lu because of his performance in the previous times, so he did not completely deny it like the performer did, and still had some expectations.

But this made the performer feel angry. It would have been fine if the sickle didn't speak, but once it spoke, it seemed like he was blaming him for not knowing the important points.

He couldn't stand this, so he immediately said, "Okay, since you said so, let's do this. I'll cooperate with you in whatever you ask me to do, but if it fails, you must make him apologize. He's so young, but he's so arrogant! What a joke!"

"This" Sickle looked embarrassed, he really didn't expect the performer to be so true.

In fact, he could understand that as a guild celebrity, the performer could only point his finger at a few people and curse them, so of course the performer would feel a sense of disappointment.

People are like this. The more they care about something, the more they fear losing it. After losing it, no matter what happens, they will secretly suspect that others are taking advantage of their misfortune.

He just couldn't understand. After all, the performer was over level 60 and an experienced exorcist. He should know what matters most. Why was he still obsessed with this at this time?

Jiang Lu shrugged and did not respond.

He understood that no matter how nice his words were, nothing could change other people's views of him except actual results.

Just like the sickle, didn’t he think he was just an ordinary person with connections at the beginning?

In the past, how could anyone speak up for me like this?

Aren’t all of them won through real ability?

So if you want the performer to shut up, you have to use actual action to smash his face!

But apart from that, he didn't want to make things too ugly. After all, the team wouldn't disband just after finding the immortal corpse. They would need to get along for a long time, and he didn't want to have someone in the team who was hostile to him.

The three of them had their own thoughts, but they finally managed to stabilize temporarily.

After calming down, they sat down on the ground, recovering their strength while quietly waiting for the night to fall.

Jiang Lu and the performer were sitting at a distance from each other, which made Sickle, who was sandwiched in the middle, feel very embarrassed. It seemed that no matter which side he sat close to, he was not quite right. In the end, he had to find a place to sit that was equally close to both sides. The three of them formed an equilateral triangle.

Time passes slowly.

Except for the moving seal on the side of the upside-down temple, no other changes can be seen. The world seems to be a static painting, covering and freezing everything.
Finally, the sunlight disappeared into the clouds and the sky gradually darkened.

Tonight, there is no bright moon, let alone starlight. It is as if the sky has been splashed with ink. Apart from the deep darkness, there is no other color.

Even the vision of the three people who were resting on the plain was greatly obstructed.

Although it's not so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you, places that are farther away are also blurry.

"Damn it, if only the skill was still there," the performer muttered.

"This has never happened before we reached the top of the mountain." Scythe became alert.

When he was climbing the mountain before, his vision was not so restricted even at the darkest time of the night. This made him inevitably associate this situation with the seal and the immortal corpse.

But Jiang Lu seemed very excited.

"That's right, that's right. The Four Corners game is only fun when you play it in pitch darkness!"

"But the general four-corner game is only played in a closed room, and the venue is not very large. Now we are in a venue that is a hundred feet square. It is really too big. If someone has an accident, it will be difficult for others to help in the first time in this environment."

Scythe said cautiously: "To be on the safe side, let's try another method. I don't think it's safe."

Hearing this, even if the performer wanted Jiang Lu to realize his naivety, he had to be prepared for the worst. His reason and the ethics of an exorcist would not allow him to take unnecessary risks just to save his temper.

So after struggling for a long time, he finally sighed: "Forget it, given the current situation, I might even fall off the mountain if I'm not careful, so let's not play the four-corner game."

But Jiang Lu didn't agree!

What does this behavior belong to? A cowardly lizard!

"Haha, you coward." He whistled.

The performer was startled and shouted angrily: "What did you say?!"

"As an exorcist, you surrender before fighting. I am ashamed of you." Jiang Lu shook his head in disappointment.

"The sickle and I are both experienced fighters. I was afraid that you would die here, so I agreed with the sickle's idea for your sake. And you are biting back?" The performer, who was being controlled by Jiang Lu, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, come on. Whoever is a coward today will be a bastard!"

"Oh no," Scythe pursed his lips, with a deep sense of powerlessness in his eyes: "This has nothing to do with surrendering before fighting, don't be impulsive just because of a momentary anger."

"It doesn't matter. You are my leader. It doesn't matter if you surrender before fighting. Let's all go, buddy." Jiang Lu pounded his chest towards the sickle and then gave a thumbs up.

This made the performer even more angry: "Are you using double standards in front of me?"

"Will it make you feel better if I apologize?" "No! Do it!"

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the four-corner game had to be played today no matter what, and Scythe could only settle for the second best. He kept reminding the two of them to be extremely careful, and then silently began to pray in his heart that nothing would go wrong.

Just like that, the angry performer, the worried sickle, and the humiliated and happy Jiang Lu each went to the locations set during the day and stood there.

Although the view is blocked, the sound is still unrestricted.

However, the diameter of the plain is nearly 100 zhang, or 300 meters, so the three people are closest to each other at the square root of 2/300 meters, and the farthest is 300 meters apart. The distance is still relatively far, and the voices are almost inaudible, so they set up secret codes in advance to be conveyed through shouting.

Standing at his own position, Jiang Lu let out a loud cry toward the sky.

Soon, two "ow" sounds were heard coming from different directions.

Because it was Jiang Lu who proposed the method, he volunteered to stand at the next point where there was no one.

Jiang Lu let out two "ows" and signaled that he was going to start moving forward.

After receiving responses from the performer and the sickle, he began to walk straight ahead.

Soon, he arrived at the next point.

There is a torn piece of clothing here, which was torn off by the sickle to mark the location.

"nobody."

Jiang Lu showed no change of expression.

No matter how passionate a person is, they still need some teasing. The kind of person who is completely devoted to someone with just one look only appears in toilet paper anime, so he is not in a hurry.

So, after shouting "Ah" to indicate that there was no one at the point he had arrived at, he started to move forward.

Before long, he arrived at the spot where the performers were.

He patted the performer gently on the back, then felt him visibly shake, as if he had been suddenly frightened, and then began to move forward.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Jiang Lu seemed to see the performer's legs trembling a little.

You're already a level 60 exorcist, so you shouldn't be afraid of ghosts, right?
Jiang Lu muttered to himself.

About a minute later, Jiang Lu heard a "wow" from behind.

"Not this round either?"

It’s not that he is disappointed, Jiang Lu continues to wait.

Not long after, he felt someone pat his back, and then he took a step forward.

The game continues round by round.

In every round, someone would shout "Ah", which means there is always a spot where no one is.

By the seventh round, even the confident Jiang Lu couldn't help but become a little impatient.

In the past, when I played with those daily friends, ghosts would usually appear by the third round, and at most within five rounds, someone would always encounter a ghost. But today it’s the seventh round, why is there still someone screaming?

It's so weird.

While muttering to himself, Jiang Lu patted the performer on the back.

As the game went on, the performer seemed to have gotten used to it. He was no longer afraid, his legs stopped shaking, and he walked out straight. He even looked happy from behind.

"Damn it. Is it really impossible to trick it?" Jiang Lu felt inexplicably annoyed.

Judging from the performer's actions, he has clearly gotten rid of his fearful mood and has become arrogant because he is certain that the immortal corpse will not appear.

"Well wait a little longer, I don't believe it."

Just as Jiang Lu was talking to himself, there was another "wow" sound from behind.

It looks like it didn't show up again this round.

Just as Jiang Lu was getting ready and waiting for the sickle to hit him on the back, he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Wait a minute. In the seventh round, if no one shows up, there will always be a bye."

Jiang Lu calculated in his mind and asked doubtfully:
"Then shouldn't I be the one who gets the bye spot this time?"

"Who the hell was yelling just now?"

As mentioned before, Jiang Lu has never played this game for more than five rounds, so he ignored the calculation and only knew that if three people played, then those who passed the bye point in the first round would pass the same point again in the fourth round.

Just as Jiang Lu was wondering whether the immortal corpse had appeared, he suddenly thought of a more terrifying question.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

"Why has there only been one shout from the first round till now?"

The name of the game is Four Corners, but there are only three of them.

If we mark the four positions with 1 to 4, and there was no one at position 4 at the beginning, then Jiang Lu photographed the performers from 3-4-1. At this time, there were two people at position 1, Sickle was at position 2, and Jiang Lu at position 3 left, so positions 3 and 4 were actually byes.

That is to say, if you follow the rules of the game, except for Jiang Lu at the beginning, everyone will encounter two points and then make two "aww" sounds.

But from the first round to now, every round has only been a "wow".

This means that, in fact, there has been one more person since the first round!

Because he didn't expect the problem of number of people, and didn't think that the immortal corpse would be so easy to tease, Jiang Lu didn't realize this problem until now.

"Fuck! This is stupid!"

Jiang Lu slapped his forehead suddenly.

In this case, because it is not known which position the extra person will appear in, the round of byes is uncertain, so Jiang Lu did not encounter an empty position in the seventh round.

But just when Jiang Lu wanted to send a signal to stop the game, he suddenly hesitated.

"No, we can't call a halt now. Although we have confirmed that it appeared in the first round, we don't know which position it is in, so we have no way of judging where it is."

The venue was too large, and Jiang Lu was worried that if he stopped rashly, the immortal corpse would disappear again.

Just as Jiang Lu was thinking about how to determine where the immortal corpse was, he suddenly felt a burning pain in his right eye.

Blinking his eyes, a strange scene appeared in front of his eyes.
"Is this... Overusing your brain?" Jiang Lu rubbed his eyes: "How did you see the thrown pieces?" (End of this chapter)
