Chapter 167
The scene recorded by Cui Hao in his diary is now replaying in front of Li Zhiyuan.
It's not within the earthen building, not at night, but outdoors during the day.
This once again proves that the Old Transgender is not the kind of small character who can only make a fuss in specific narrow and eerie environments to frighten people. Her domain is very vast.
The sound of the tractor is loud, heading toward the village's direction.
On the hillside, Run Sheng is waiting for a command from Xiao Yuan.
Li Zhiyuan remains silent.
The teenager's mind is not currently worried about the safety of Xue Liangliang and Lin Shuyou, at least, that's not the primary concern.
He is focused on thinking, if he and Run Sheng on the tractor are Evil, then why can Lin Shuyou sit face-to-face with them without noticing anything?
White Crane Child, within the official system, is also known as the Guiding Child, good at perception.
Based on past experiences, in reality, when encountering Evil, Lin Shuyou's vertical pupils would naturally open.
But now, they're not, and they're even chatting and laughing.
Even setting aside the detection function of the vertical pupils, Xue Liangliang is sitting on the tractor now too.
Last night, he had already clearly informed Xue Liangliang that this task was complicated and would present bizarre situations. Logically, Xue Liangliang should be on edge.
Lin Shuyou might occasionally be careless, but Xue Liangliang wouldn't.
The Evil mimicking him is also conversing, and Xue Liangliang has no suspicion at all?
At this moment, even Li Zhiyuan is somewhat suspicious whether the four people on the tractor are all fake, and whether what he is witnessing is just an illusion?
But when the teenager raised his head and looked around, he found that the surrounding Feng Shui and atmosphere were all as usual, indicating that he had not stepped into the domain of illusion, nor was he within any array.
"Brother Runsheng."
"Hmm."
"Follow them."
"Okay!"
Run Sheng began to run.
Fortunately, the tractor couldn't go too fast, plus the road was bumpy, so its speed was limited, allowing Run Sheng to easily follow along the side of the hill, keeping pace with the tractor.
Only, after getting a little closer, Lin Shuyou sitting on the tractor seemed to sense something and began to turn his head to look back.
This made Li Zhiyuan, on Run Sheng's back, feel a bit helpless. With the ability to perceive from a distance, couldn't he spare a glance at what's right in front of him?
"Brother Runsheng, keep a little more distance, don't get too close."
"Okay."
Run Sheng pulled back a bit to ensure that the tractor remained within their line of sight.
So it went, one moving forward on four wheels, the other following behind on two legs.
The four people on the tractor were merely chatting leisurely, without any mutation occurring.
Ultimately, Ran Dacheng drove the tractor into the village and stopped.
All four got off, exchanged a few words, and then Xue Liangliang and Lin Shuyou continued towards the earthen building, while "Li Zhiyuan" was carried by "Run Sheng" in another direction, soon vanishing into the houses ahead, out of sight.
"Go, Brother Runsheng!"
"Alright!"
Even after walking the mountainous path for so long, Run Sheng's strength remained unfatigued. This time, he didn't hesitate and began to sprint quickly.
Ran Dacheng, who was just turning the tractor, saw this scene and scratched his head in surprise.
He had just witnessed the two walking in that direction, so how did they reappear here?
Behind that house was a stack of firewood, no sign of any figures.
Run Sheng stepped onto the stack, and Li Zhiyuan, high on his back, surveyed the surroundings, finding nothing as well.
That pair of "self" and "Run Sheng" seemed to disappear into thin air.
Li Zhiyuan patted Run Sheng on the shoulder, and Run Sheng straightened his body, letting the teenager slide off his back.
"Plop!"
The teenager noticed a sound from under his shoe, looked down, and found it was a patch of glass powder.
Squatting down, he examined closely, discovering that there was a lot of such powder beneath the wood stack.
Reaching out, he took a bit, letting it slip through his fingers, and Li Zhiyuan noticed that on many pieces of firewood nearby, and on this side of the earthen wall, there were residual sparkling traces, obvious under the sunlight.
Just now, there must have been large pieces of glass that exploded, shattering into powder.
However...
Li Zhiyuan took another handful of fine debris and examined it closely:
Is this really glass material?
Unfortunately, the transportation here is inconvenient, and there is no materials analysis institution in the nearby county; to confirm its composition, it needs to be sent to a big city, and by the time the results are back, it would be too late.
Even so, Li Zhiyuan still pulled out a plastic bag from his bag and collected some debris into it.
He had a hunch that this stuff might be crucial.
After taking samples, Li Zhiyuan and Run Sheng returned to the earthen building, where they encountered Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng, who had also just returned.
Lin Shuyou happened to walk out with a bucket, intending to fetch water from the well outside.
"Brother Xiao Yuan, you found Brother Bin and the others back so quickly."
Li Zhiyuan: "Did I say I went to find them?"
Lin Shuyou, puzzled: "Yes, you told me and Brother Liang to come back and cook first while you and Run Sheng went to find Brother Bin and the others..."
Faced with Li Zhiyuan's serious and questioning gaze, Lin Shuyou began to lose confidence as he spoke.
Li Zhiyuan: "Meeting inside."
Everyone gathered in the courtyard, and Li Zhiyuan described the scene he had witnessed earlier.
Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng were utterly amazed.
