I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

Chapter 539: Let's See Who Outlasts Whom



Outside the house, the fierce wind howled, and the sounds of battle combined with the whirlwinds of Corpse Qi occasionally crashed against the guest room where Tian Lin and the others were staying.

Seeing the house on the brink of collapse, the Wind-named True Disciple couldn't help but frown with concern and say:

"The battle between that Drought and the few soldiers has already affected this area. If this continues, I wonder if this house can withstand the aftermath of their battle."

Once the house is collapsed by the aftermath of the battle, those exposed outside will lose their protection.

I'm afraid by then, they might indeed face total destruction.

"No worries, we can arrange an Array ourselves to strengthen the structure of this house."

Zhou Ting comforted everyone, saying, "If the house really can't hold on, then beat the bamboo clapper and copper gong——"

If he drums the watch too early now, it can indeed turn night into day, making the soldiers disappear.

But even if the soldiers disappear, the Drought inside the Red Coffin won't vanish.

By then, without the soldiers to resist the Drought, can the door gods alone work?

Zhou Ting didn't dare to gamble and wanted to use the soldiers to eliminate the Drought in that Red Coffin.

Thus, holding the bamboo clapper and copper gong, the few people really stayed inside the house for several hours.

During this time, they employed various means within the house, arranging Arrays one after another. They also took out various items from the Storage Bag to reinforce the entire building.

Only until the sounds of battle outside completely disappeared, and after another hour, did Zhou Ting formally drum the watch.

With the sound of the watch, the night outside turned into day. A ray of light permeated from outside, followed by the footsteps of the old Village Chief outside the courtyard.

The room door was knocked open by the old Village Chief from outside, and this time it was Zhou Ting who opened the door.

He opened the door and looked up, immediately jumping in shock at the sight of the old Village Chief's face.

He saw that although the old Village Chief still wore yesterday's makeup, he had become disheveled, with blood continuously flowing all over his body.

Zhou Ting couldn't help but send a voice transmission to Tian Lin: "Did this bastard fight with the soldiers yesterday?"

Tian Lin replied via voice transmission: "He ran even faster than us yesterday, and he doesn't dare to attack official bodies, so his body must have been wounded by soldiers, and eventually his soul body was injured together."

Hearing this, Zhou Ting raised his eyebrows and transmitted his voice: "So it seems we found the real way to kill the villagers! As long as we can injure their bodies, we can kill these Evil Spirits."

"Honored officers, the day is bright today, it is time to open the coffin for autopsy."

The old Village Chief's tone was somewhat low and weak; every time he spoke, his soul body flickered uncertainly. It seemed speaking consumed too much of his energy, almost making him disperse at any moment.

However, his cultivation seemed unchanged, so Zhou Ting and the others still did not dare to underestimate this old man.

"Yesterday we were exhausted from opening coffins; today, we want to rest here for a day."

Just as Zhou Ting finished speaking, the old Village Chief immediately interrupted: "No, the time for tribute is near. As officers, how can you delay?"

Zhou Ting did not want to open the coffins for autopsy again. According to yesterday's situation, merely absorbing a bit of Corpse Qi was no longer feasible. He feared Tian Lin couldn't endure it, nor could he and the others.

"Isn't there still ten days or so? I believe there's ample time. Besides, only a dozen dried corpses are needed for the tribute, and the village already has hundreds, which is clearly sufficient. As for the coffin autopsy, it's dispensable."

"The responsibility of opening coffins for autopsy lies with the officers. If all of you truly don't wish to fulfil this duty, then please leave Taiping Village."

Tian Lin and others wished to leave Taiping Village immediately, yet considering the Wolf Fang Club outside the village, leaving hastily was clearly not wise.

"Well then, let's go open the coffins for autopsy."

Reluctantly, Zhou Ting finally spoke, but he followed by saying: "However, if it's just opening coffins for autopsy, I can handle it alone."

He transmitted his voice to Tian Lin: "You come with me to open the coffins for autopsy, the rest need not follow, better let them inspect the various Corpse Wells outside."

Tian Lin nodded, and everyone turned their eyes to the old Village Chief, waiting for his reply.

Fortunately, the old Village Chief did not refuse, nodding: "As the officer said."

At this point, the squad was already clear about who was an official and who was not, so they could divide the squad into four teams.

Tian Lin went along with Zhou Ting, and the rest split into two teams to explore the village's Corpse Wells.

Quickly, Tian Lin and Zhou Ting followed the old Village Chief, while Wang Yanyu and Mei Xiangu arranged themselves.

The group still headed in the direction of the pond they went to yesterday, Tian Lin looked at the old Village Chief and tentatively asked:

"The dried corpses pulled out from the pond yesterday seemed to fight with the Evil Spirits? How's the situation?"

The old Village Chief's tone was low, but he didn't hide it:

"There are five soldier Evil Spirits in the village, yesterday they battled with the dried corpses, one soldier Evil Spirit perished, but the dried corpses have been heavily injured now."

He shifted his tone and said to Tian Lin and the others: "The old watchman in the village is dead, and the bamboo clapper in his hand seems to be on the honored officers?"

This was undeniable, but Zhou Ting did not plan to admit it, and he said: "Is the old watchman dead? No wonder I haven't seen him these past two days. As for that bamboo clapper, it could've been taken by the soldier Evil Spirits, couldn't it?"

Seeing him play dumb, the old Village Chief no longer spoke.

Soon, the group returned to the pond where they were yesterday.

And beside the pond, it was already filled with villager Evil Spirits.

These villager Evil Spirits still had red iron ropes tied around their waists.

Following an order from the old Village Chief, the red iron ropes immediately tightened, followed by a tooth-gritting screech, and two Red Coffins slowly rose from the pond's bottom.

Tian Lin and Zhou Ting glanced at each other, and as soon as the Red Coffins fully surfaced, Zhou Ting unhesitatingly struck the copper gong.

With the sound of the copper gong, daylight instantly turned into night.

A gale suddenly assaulted from afar, followed by a voice: "You bunch of vile people still dare show yourselves courting death?"

Tian Lin and Zhou Ting already took off running, glancing back hurriedly, they saw four soldiers wielding Ghost Head Blades rushing towards the pond amidst the foul wind.

Just as the old Village Chief said, after yesterday's battle, one of the five soldier Evil Spirits was missing.

"Officer, you lied, claiming you didn't see the old watchman's bamboo clapper."

Amidst the escape, a sinister voice sounded behind Zhou Ting, it was indeed the same old Village Chief also fleeing desperately.

"Village Chief, you're mistaken, this bamboo clapper I brought from the town, not something belonging to your old watchman."

Zhou Ting said without changing his expression, not slowing his escape by a bit.

With one ahead of another, the old Village Chief escaped home on his own, while Tian Lin and the others quickly reached the small courtyard of the old watchman.

The two entered the house, only to see that inside, although Mei Xiangu and Wang Yanyu were present, there was still an absence, Wang Yuanji.

"Where's Junior Sister Wang?"

"Junior Sister Wang got lost!"

Upon hearing this from the Wind-named Disciple, Zhou Ting couldn't help but say: "Junior Sister Wang is unprotected; encountering either soldier Evil Spirits or villagers spells doom. Forget it for now, let's close the door first."

The guest room door was shut, and Tian Lin first spoke: "We're using soldiers to deal with villager Evil Spirits, but the old Village Chief wants to leverage dried corpses to confront those soldiers. Now, it's a matter of who outlasts whom!"
