Chapter 127 The Book Coffin Scam
On the first day of the Taoshu project, it was revealed that the book coffin had been found in the Baihua Mountain Scenic Area, which surprised everyone.

What is even more unbelievable is that the book coffin that had just been found disappeared strangely overnight.

As relevant news was exposed in the media, this missing book coffin became the focus of many people's discussions for a while.

For the members of more than 100 Taoshu teams, this news is a blow to them.

The Taoshu team who found the book coffin can get a bonus of 2000 million. Now that the book coffin has been found, it means that all the Taoshu team's bonuses have been wasted.

Some Taoshu teams suspect that this is fake news and are silently waiting for a turnaround. Unfortunately, with the deepening of the police investigation, the events reported in the news seem to be true.

The book-hunting team that found the book coffin in Baihua Mountain was led by Dai Zhiwen, a professor at Nanxiang University in Tianhai City.In Professor Dai Zhiwen's mobile phone, there are two photos of the book coffin.

After expert appraisal, the two photos of the book coffin were taken that night, and the book coffin in the photo is indeed the real book coffin.

The photo was taken of the front of the book coffin, and the light screen on the surface of the book coffin in the photo has been lit up, and a password prompt appears on the light screen—[Password reminder: Excuse me, the protagonist of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" who is it? 】

Although people in the entire Huaxia Kingdom don't know what the book "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is, after seeing the photo of the book coffin, most people began to believe that Professor Dai Zhiwen's book-hunting team had indeed found the book coffin, but The book coffin was stolen again.

When the news spread, most of the Taoshu team gave up their plans to search for the book coffin.In their view, since the book coffin has already been found, there is no need to waste time looking for it.

In the next week, more than 90% of the Taoshu team chose to rest, and about 30% of the Taoshu team went home directly.

However, there are still a few Taoshu teams who insist on continuing to search for the book coffins, including the Meteor Taoshu team.

Liu Shiming originally wanted to choose to rest, but even Wang Lanlan had no motivation to search, but Yuxin insisted on continuing to search.Because she not only wanted to find the book coffin, but also took the opportunity to find the underground library of the Money Book Club.

So, the Meteor Amoy Book Team continued to search for the book coffins in the area they were in charge of.

On the first day, they searched the No. 1 area of ​​Fiction Street;
The next day, they searched the No. 2 area of ​​Fiction Street;
……

Eight days later, they had searched the No. 8 area of ​​Fiction Street.

Unfortunately, the search results turned up nothing.

"Ah, I'm exhausted!"

In the evening, Wang Lanlan, who had searched for a whole day, returned to Meteor Book Bar, her delicate face showed a bit of fatigue. Today, she, Liu Shiming, Yu Xin and others searched for a whole day with detection sticks.

"I still haven't found the book coffin today." Wang Lanlan asked, "Sister Xin, shall we continue to look for it tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Yuxin suggested, "Lanlan, if you feel tired, you can take a rest tomorrow, I'll just go find it myself."

"No need. We are a team, we have to suffer together, and we have to bear together. Since you are looking for it, of course I will accompany you." Wang Lanlan frowned and pursed her mouth, "It's just that if the book coffin If we were really in Baihua Mountain, wouldn’t we be doomed not to find the book coffin? I heard that Professor Dai Zhiwen has already left Baihua Mountain today and returned to Nanxiang University in Tianhai City.”

Liu Xing, who was sitting on the side, reminded: "The book coffin may not really be in Baihua Mountain."

Wang Lanlan was curious: "But, didn't Professor Dai Zhiwen take pictures of the book coffins? Are the pictures fake?"

"The photo has been identified by experts and should be real. But even if the photo is real, it cannot be said that the coffin is in Baihua Mountain." Liu Xing took out a copy of "Tianhai Daily" from the desktop and pointed to the book coffin published in the newspaper The photo said, "This photo only captures the front of the book coffin, and does not capture the environment around the book coffin at all. Therefore, it is not certain that this photo must have been taken in Baihua Mountain."

"Didn't Professor Dai Zhiwen personally admit that his book-hunting team found the book coffin in Baihua Mountain?" Wang Lanlan rolled her eyes and said, "Unless Professor Dai Zhiwen is lying."

Liu Xing nodded: "That's right, unless it is proved that Professor Dai Zhiwen is not lying, we cannot be sure that the book coffin must be in Baihua Mountain."

Wang Lanlan understood, and praised: "Liu Xing, your method of self-comfort is quite good. After listening to your analysis, I suddenly have a glimmer of hope for finding the book coffin."

Liu Shiming smiled lightly, patted Wang Lanlan's head, and said, "Lanlan, after a day of tossing, go back to the room to take a shower and sleep well."

"Yeah. After gathering energy, we will continue to fight tomorrow!"

After chatting, the three beauties went back to their respective rooms to take a bath. Because they were too tired, they all went to rest early.

As for Liu Xing, he was still awake.

He's going out tonight to do something.

The book coffin suddenly appeared in Baihua Mountain, which was a bit strange, so he decided to investigate.At present, all the news about the book coffin comes from the Taoshu team led by Professor Dai Zhiwen.

Therefore, to investigate this matter, Professor Dai Zhiwen is obviously a breakthrough.

Today the media broke the news that Professor Dai Zhiwen had left Huadu this morning and returned to Tianhai City, and Liu Xing was going to meet this professor tonight.

Of course, not as Liu Xing, but as the shadow man.

……

Late at night, Nanxiang University.

Nanxiang University is located in the West Fourth Ring Road of Tianhai City. It is an ordinary comprehensive university. Professor Dai Zhiwen teaches at this university.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and there was silence in Nanxiang University. Liu Xing, who was dressed in black, was sitting on a big tree in the campus, waiting patiently.

He is waiting.

Swish!
Not long after, a middle-aged man in his 50s, a little bald, walked towards him on a campus road in front of him. It was Professor Dai Zhiwen.

"It's finally here."

When Dai Zhiwen walked to the section of road under the big tree, Liu Xing's figure flashed and jumped down, blocking the way.

Facing the sudden situation, Professor Dai Zhiwen was startled, his expression changed slightly, he looked at Liu Xing a few times, and asked, "You... who are you?"

Liu Xing pretended to be a middle-aged man's voice and said, "You should be able to guess it."

Dai Zhiwen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked softly, "You...are you the legendary shadow man who can fly over walls?"

Liu Xing said lightly: "Don't worry, as long as you answer my question honestly, I will not make things difficult for you."

Hearing this, Professor Dai Zhiwen showed a bit of fear on his face. According to the legend, the shadowy figure appears and disappears like a ghost, and his martial arts are unfathomable, almost beyond the scope of human beings.Suddenly encountering such a ghostly figure, it is inevitable that I feel a little apprehensive.

"You...what do you want to know?" Professor Dai Zhiwen's voice trembled a little.

"I heard that you found the book coffin in Baihua Mountain?"

"Yes, it is."

"Is there a password prompt on the coffin?"

"Correct."

"How did you see this password prompt?"

"After we found the book coffin, we touched the book coffin and saw this prompt. The prompt asked, who is the protagonist of "The Legend of Condor Heroes"..."

"You lied." Liu Xing interrupted.

"I...I didn't." Professor Dai Zhiwen's throat moved.

Liu Xing asked back: "You need to enter the wrong password 5 times to see the password prompt, but you just said that you can see the prompt just by touching the book coffin. Isn't that a lie?"

Dai Zhiwen's pupils shrank slightly, and he argued: "I just forgot it for a while. Yes, we didn't see the prompt until we entered the wrong password 5 times."

Liu Xing smiled and said: "I lied to you. It is not enough to enter the wrong password 5 times. You need to enter it 10 times. Are you going to change your mouth now?"

Hearing this, Professor Dai Zhiwen's face suddenly changed, knowing that he seemed to have been fooled.

"You don't understand the operation process of the book coffin password at all." Liu Xing broke through, "You may have never seen the book coffin! You made up everything in the news reports these days, right?"

"You...don't be bloody!" Professor Dai Zhiwen was a little anxious, and argued, "The one who was in charge of operating the book coffins was a member of my book-hunting team, not me."

Despite his repeated excuses, Liu Xing already believed in his heart that there was something wrong with Professor Dai Zhiwen.

If we keep asking like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out the truth, so Liu Xing secretly used the mind-absorbing technique "Soul-shifting Dafa" in "Nine Yin Manuals" in an attempt to control Dai Zhiwen's mind.

Soul-shifting Dafa is only effective for people with weak minds. After all, Dai Zhiwen is a professor, and his ambition is higher than ordinary people. Soul-shifting Dafa doesn't work for him.

However, Liu Xing did not stop there.

Suddenly, Liu Xing grabbed Dai Zhiwen's claim with his right hand, and with a twist of internal force, he threw Dai Zhiwen flying out like throwing a discus.

With a scream, Dai Zhiwen's whole body arced more than ten meters in the air, and then fell to a piece of lawn in front of him.

After landing, Dai Zhiwen's face was already pale, and there were bean-sized cold sweats on his forehead, and waves of fear came from his heart.

It was hard for him to believe that he was thrown out by the fly, the fearful power of the shadow man... was simply chilling!

Stepping forward, Liu Xing took out a sharp silver dagger from his arms.

Seeing this, Dai Zhiwen was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he begged anxiously: "Shadow Man, don't...don't kill me...please don't kill me...I'll tell you everything..."

Liu Xing ignored it, swung his right hand fiercely, and the dagger stabbed directly at Dai Zhiwen's face.

"what!!"

Dai Zhiwen screamed in fright, put his head in his hands, curled up into a ball, squatted on the lawn and shivered.

Liu Xing's dagger didn't really stab Dai Zhiwen, it was just to scare him.

After being frightened like this, Dai Zhiwen's last line of defense had basically collapsed, and it was impossible for him to be firm. It was the best time to use the "Nine Yin Manual" to move souls.

With a thought, Liu Xing stared at Dai Zhiwen's eyes, and performed the soul-shifting method on him again.

Not long after, Dai Zhiwen entered a hypnotized state.

Liu Xing began to ask: "Dai Zhiwen, did you find a book coffin in Baihuashan Scenic Area?"

Dai Zhiwen's self-awareness was already very weak. After a while, he replied: "No, I have never seen a book coffin. I made everything up."

Liu Xing asked: "Why do you have a picture of the book coffin?"

Dai Zhiwen replied: "The photo of the book coffin was taken by someone else with my mobile phone, and then the mobile phone was given to me."

Liu Xing asked again: "What you said in the media is all false?"

Dai Zhiwen admitted, "Yes."

Liu Xing was surprised: "Why are you lying?"

Dai Zhiwen explained: "A middle-aged man spent 200 million yuan to let our book-hunting team lie that he had found the book coffin."

When asked here, Liu Xing roughly understood the situation. It seemed that this was a scam. The book coffin was not in Baihua Mountain, and someone was deliberately trying to confuse the public.

And this person has a photo of the book coffin, which shows that he may really have a book coffin!
Liu Xing asked again: "Who is the 'middle-aged man' you are talking about?"
