Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 169 Entering Moonburn Village

Xia Shou saw Shangguan Yan walking towards him from a distance.

She came to the crowd with three pieces of jewelry and said loudly, "I am the general manager of this operation, and the only person in charge. Now I will distribute a few pieces of jewelry to you. One for Shang Liang, one for Wu Lang, and one for you to divide among yourselves. There is nothing to grab. Many of you know what this is for, right?"

"What is this for?" Xia Shou asked.

Wu Lang put the ring thrown to him on his hand and explained, "It's used to collect corpses. After death, the body will be sent to the coffin-carrying priest and made into a corpse puppet, so there's really nothing to steal. After all, it's for the dead."

The others were not interested in the remaining ring and finally gave it to No. 58.

Shangguan Yan told everyone about the situation in Yuezhuo Village. Most of the Xia Shous had already heard Su Weiyu tell them, so they did not have too many emotional fluctuations. However, many people at the scene fell into deep thought.

"Anyway, this is the situation. Now all of you are equal in rank. The captain and the team members are on the same level, and no one needs to obey anyone else's orders. This is to prevent the 'extra person' from gaining an advantage in position."

"In addition, the phenomenon of an extra person does not necessarily mean only one extra person. The extra people are not determined by batches or numbers. There is no pattern, and it cannot even be calculated based on the logic in memory."

"Let me give you an example. I just said that in Yuezhuo Village, there is a core area that requires at least ten people to enter. So if you enter the village, you can use this as a clue and come to a basic conclusion: the probability that there are no less than ten real people entering this village.

But unfortunately, this kind of reasoning will mislead you, and your memory may also deceive you. Now I said ten people, but after entering, you may remember it as twenty people. "

"The research department currently believes that Moonburn Village's memory manipulation of those who enter is close to perfect. You can only figure out a solution on your own."

Everyone listened in silence and no one asked any questions.

Because Shangguan Yan explained it very clearly, and there was no room for questions about these rules. To sum it up in one sentence - there are no loopholes to exploit.

"Although I am the person in charge of this operation, I cannot provide you with any help. The explanation just now is all I can do. You can discuss and decide on the specific plan by yourselves. As I said, from now on, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates.

Please really listen to this sentence. Authority worship under the rule of one extra person will kill you. Any excellent captain, powerful senior, or talented junior in your memory may be an extra person. "

After saying that, Shangguan Yan turned around and prepared to leave. Xia Shou was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Minister, wait a minute!"

"Hmm? Xiao Xia, is there anything else?" Shangguan Yan lifted her red hair and looked at Xia Shou with a faint smile.

"Um... do you still have the blood bottle like last time?" Xia Shou asked softly.

Although that blood bottle can only be upgraded by one level, this small level can play a huge role.

Xia Shou's [Superpower Bank] can only rent superpowers from people of the same level, and it is not effective for high-level superpowers.

Xia Shou, who is only level one, can only trade with level one transcendents.

But if you have a blood bottle, the situation will be different.

Even if it is not used in this mission, it will definitely come in handy in the future.

"That blood bottle has been used up. You have to work hard on your own." Shangguan Yan patted Xia Shou's shoulder.

Xia Shou walked back to the crowd disappointedly and looked at the people around him who were going into the village together.

There are three people in total in their three groups, and with Ling Xiao who has already entered the village, there are four in total.

Lin Tiandong from the second unit has three companions, a total of four people.

The team that No. 58 is in consists of five people.

Thirteen people in total.

Including Su Weiyu, there are fourteen people in total.

As for the two quasi-level five finishers next to them, it seems that they did not enter the village with them, so there is no need to consider them for the time being.

"Although the minister said that Yuezhuo Village's modification of cognition is perfect, should we make some preparations in advance?" Xia Shou said to the people from the other two departments.

"How do you want to prepare?" Lin Tiandong asked coldly, his pale blue eyes staring at Xia Shou emotionlessly. "Write some little secrets to each other, and then exchange them for safekeeping. Before going in, each of us will be tied up with chains... or something like that." Xia Shou forced a smile.

Lin Tiandong looked away and said firmly, "That's totally unnecessary. If this little trick could be used to crack it, then the information we have about Yuezhuo Village wouldn't be limited to this."

No. 58 also agreed: "I think so too. Although your starting point is good, it probably won't work. Anyway, the time is almost up, let's go in first."

No. 58 and the other four members of the first unit passed through the cordon and walked towards the entrance of Yuezhuo Village.

"Let's go too." Bai He said.

He didn't know when he had changed his mask from a black mask to a copper coin mask.

A group of people walked towards Yuezhuo Village one after another, and the distance between the three groups was clear.

Xia Shou walked silently at the end of the team, looking a little absent-minded.

Alice asked softly, "Master Xia Shou, are you serious about what you just proposed?"

"Did you see through it?"

"I just didn't think you would come up with such a useless idea."

Xia Shou did not deny that the plans he had just proposed had no chance of success. Just as No. 58 said, if those little tricks could succeed, the investigators who had entered before would not have been able to tell who was the impostor.

He was just speaking casually just now, wanting to test everyone's temper.

Lin Tiandong is not the kind of person who is inclined to cooperate, and although No. 58 also refused, his words were obviously more tactful.

In addition, Lin Tiandong and the people under No. 58 did not express their opinions at all. They still had the concept of authority in their subconscious, which would be influenced by the closeness of the relationship.

This actually proved in disguise that they had no idea how cruel Yuezhuo Village really was.

On the one hand, they have already determined that the memory tampering and cognitive distortion of Yuezhuo Village are perfect, but on the other hand, they still habitually stick together.

Just because you are outside the village and have not been affected by the rules of Yuezhuo Village, so you haven't changed your mindset yet?

No, in fact, they have no way to reverse this habitual dependence.

Since it is determined that cognitive tampering is perfect, then in fact there is no difference between inside and outside the village.

Because once you enter the village, all your memories outside the village are false and have been tampered with.

"Wei Yu, do you have my things with you?" Xia Shou asked.

Su Weiyu lifted the backpack behind her and nodded, "Take it with you."

"Let's conclude a [Stand] contract."

"Ah."

Using one's own special abilities to bind life and death, can this break through the cognitive distortion of Yuezhuo Village?
The deserted village was getting closer and closer, and a hazy white mist was rising around it, which was a sign of entering another space from the real world.

They passed the big tree at the entrance of the village and looked back. The yellow cordon was gone behind them, and the soldiers and tents were gone. Only a mountain road shrouded in fog remained.

"We should have entered Moonburn Village now, right?" No. 58 squatted down in front. "Why are there tire marks in this place?"

Xia Shou lowered his head and saw two clear and deep tire tracks under their feet.

Bai He leaned over and touched the mark: "It's not an armored vehicle, it's a civilian car tire. Judging from the width, it's also a civilian car."
