Facts gave the answer. The barrel of the death knell roared, and the monster locked in handcuffs tried to escape through the glass on the wall. Half of its body merged into it, but blood burst out suddenly, and its head was smashed to pieces.
Ma Lou watched Zhou Zhuo shoot at him with his gun raised, and instinctively raised his hands to surrender, thinking that he would be killed by mistake, and almost peed in fear, but the bullet suddenly disappeared in the air.
"There is a script!"
"Sparrow Food has a script."
Zhou Zhuo also answered, put away the death knell pretendingly, checked it specially, and confirmed that the monster on the glass mirror had completely dissipated in a puff of smoke, and then made the next plan.
"The gunshots may attract something else. If a stranger wants to enter the house, you have to find a way to lure him away. Don't let him in. I have to go to the basement."
Zhou Zhuo patted Ma Lou on the shoulder.
"It's all up to you."

Chapter 152 Cup Bow Snake Shadow
Before Ma Lou recovered from the shock of being pointed at the head with a gun by his roommate, he had already been pushed into the hall by Zhou Zhuo.
Zhou Zhuo went back to the basement and saw Wang Shifu who was waiting on the spot, finally he felt a little less uneasy.
"recovered?"
"It may still be affected, but it won't be completely out of control." Wang Shifu sighed lightly, and then restored his usual calm smile, "I still have to thank you."
"Helping you is also helping me, we are in the same group."
Zhou Zhuo waved his hand, and squatted in front of that peculiar mirror to look it over repeatedly: "Is there anything special about this mirror? Why are both sides black?"
"This is the protective coating of the mirror, which prevents the silver coating from coming into contact with the air and oxidizing and peeling off." Wang Shifu replied.
"In ancient times, people had a natural fear of mirrors, objects that could show images, and felt that it was easy to reflect ghosts and gods. Therefore, there was an unwritten rule that every time a batch of mirrors was produced, one of the mirrors was kept for regular use. Coating both sides with a protective layer is equivalent to sealing all disasters and other disasters inside."
"That is to say, there were already problems when these batches of mirrors were made?"
"I don't know, I'm afraid I have to ask Lao Yang." Wang Shifu shook his head, "I don't know much, but this matter may be helpful to you,"
"You said."
"Some strange things happened in the village back then. Graves were frequently dug up in the cemetery on the mountain, but the culprits were never found. It was useless to change a few grave guards. It was very evil."
"As a result, a big businessman from the city came outside, who sold mirrors, and said that there was something wrong with the earth's atmosphere here, and the ghosts buried on the mountain couldn't sit still, so they ran away at night, and wanted to put the mirror in the coffin to keep the soul. Hold, so that the corpse will lie in the coffin obediently."
"Does anyone believe this?" Zhou Zhuo was surprised.
"What I said is definitely not as good as him, and never overestimate the wisdom of the people. In this kind of place where information is blocked, it doesn't take much trouble to control the entire village. It is enough to convince a few of them."
Zhou Zhuo also understood what Wang Shifu meant, thinking about many things from different angles and environments, the results were completely different.
For the helpless villagers, someone who can bring a solution is like a god descending from the sky. In contrast, it is completely acceptable to pay a small amount of money to eliminate disasters. Let alone modern times, even in modern times, this kind of Things are still emerging in an endless stream, difficult to cure.
"Then Lao Yang, who was the secretary of the village committee at the time, mobilized everyone to donate a small amount of money to solve the problems of the whole village. He took the lead in donating a lot of money, almost out of pocket, and finally convinced everyone. , I bought a large number of well-made mirrors from that merchant, which are the ones you see now, and they have been around for many years."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhuo, who has a lot of experience in cases, already understood that in a typical gang fraud case, everyone has a very clear division of labor. Some are responsible for creating troubles, some are responsible for being the savior, some are responsible for peacemaking, and some are taking kickbacks. .
Mayor Yang played the role of eating inside and out in this matter. As a native, no one would doubt his motives. In addition, he also paid a lot of money himself, so it was easy to convince those people .
However, in fact, the squire's money was returned in full, and the common people's money was divided into accounts. Afterwards, I realized that it was too late to pursue it.
However, in real terms, the villagers who depend on farming for a living can't collect much money. Judging from some of the finished products preserved in the basement, it is estimated that the scale of the mirrors sold back then was quite a lot.
The weight and workmanship are by no means cheap, and they can be sold for hundreds or even thousands now. In the age when industrial production technology was not yet developed, they might lose money after entering and exiting.
After thinking about it, Zhou Zhuo guessed that some big boss in the city was crazy about packing goods in the warehouse, and his subordinates had no choice but to use this method to ship goods, and he was afraid of causing trouble and being beaten to death as a model. I restrained myself a little, and didn't dare to make it too big.
"Mayor Yang probably got a lot of kickbacks?"
"Yes."
Wang Shifu really knew the inside story of this matter.
"But you may not believe it when you say it. He used all the money from the rebates to develop the tourism industry. Not only is he not greedy at all, but he also put his own family in it. That's why even if it is difficult to agree with the concept, But in the end I was convinced."
"I believe, such a paranoid is not uncommon. Compared with money, he probably cares more about fame and prestige." Zhou Zhuo said casually, "Then, is something wrong with these mirrors?"
"It's been a long time since the problem happened. It's been so long that I almost forgot the origin of these mirrors. I didn't understand until Lao Yang mysteriously dragged me to the warehouse."
"He said that he would create a monstrous scam to deceive everyone, and when he made enough money, he could bring the whole village to prosperity. This matter was half successful, but before it failed, I quit, So I don't know a lot of things."
"Before he left, he took me to a dark room, the kind used to deceive customers. He made me swear to myself in the mirror that I would never break my oath and reveal the secrets of the town. Follow his instructions to smear the blood on the mirror."
Wang Shifu pointed to the half-finished mirror that could not reflect light.
"It's this mirror. At that time, I was very careful and left a mark on it to avoid accidents of being framed and blamed. So when I came here, I will tell you, be careful of the mirror with blood on the back, just I didn't expect Lao Yang to seal it up."
At this time, Zhou Zhuo had fully understood Wang Shifu's experience. In the final analysis, this barefoot doctor who graduated from the chemistry department was actually an ordinary person who was easily controlled by emotions, wandering between good and evil, and could never convince himself. Big flow.
It was too late when Fanran woke up, no wonder he always blamed himself, repented,
During the conversation, Zhou Zhuo smeared some blood on the mirror that ate the two buddies earlier, but no matter how he did it, there would be no disturbance. I don’t know if it was because the monster in the mirror was killed by him, or because the thing had exceeded to the extent of extreme use.
The dust-proof cloths of the mirrors next to them were all lifted, and they were checked one by one, trying to find another passage to another world.
"I fired a shot upstairs, which may attract the attention of others. After this time, the owner should be vigilant. We don't have a second chance. Check all the remaining mirrors and call me if you have any problems. "
"Row."
Wang Shifu is not hypocritical, he really wants to atone for his sins through actions, and solve the disaster that hangs over all the people in the misty town. Compared with the mountainous sense of guilt in his heart, life is not worth mentioning something.
The two opened all the remaining mirrors. Unfortunately, no other strange phenomena were found. With the death of the transparent monster and the heavy damage of the shadow, the gloomy atmosphere here has weakened a lot, and the fog has disappeared. Hope by coincidence——
In fact, he should have thought about this a long time ago. If all the mirrors left here are faulty, then the first accident should not be the disappearing tourists, but the owner of the mirror house.
Zhou Zhuo looked at the tall metal floor mirror, and felt troubled in his heart. With his style, if he saw something that he couldn't take away, he would have to destroy it on the spot. He immediately made it difficult for Zhou Zhuo to make a choice.
But after thinking about it, Zhou Zhuo found something wrong.
"Old Wang, I ask you a question, and you must answer me truthfully."
"You ask." Wang Shifu's expression remained the same.
"What is the relationship between you and that Mayor Yang? You have to answer truthfully, don't just make up your own wishful thinking."
"Oh, you said that."
Wang Shifu nodded, understanding Zhou Zhuo's meaning, there is always a gap between people in communication, one thing will show different feelings in the eyes of two people, you think people treat you very well, in fact Maybe it's just a play on the spot out of profit considerations.
"We are friends who grew up together. In your current words, we are iron buddies, the kind who can't be more iron. When I was young, he tried to push the bad things he did on me just because he was afraid. When I was When I was standing in the corridor, he would always sneak out to accompany me..."
Speaking of this, Wang Shifu smiled: "I'm not very good at expressing. You may think that I am too emotional, but I think Yang Weimin and I are real brothers, the kind who understand each other deeply."
"So when there was a disagreement, instead of trying to convince me, he let me go and resisted all the pressure himself."
"Then do you think such a brother will let you die for your own career and ideal?" Zhou Zhuo asked.
Wang Shifu was taken aback, and replied without hesitation: "Of course not. To be honest, Lao Yang is the kind of smart person who is easy to go to extremes. If he had to kill someone to save me, he would do it without hesitation." The knife fell."
"For him, what needs to be considered is not the question of whether to save or not. Some things must be done. The question is how to deal with the aftermath, how to deal with the scene, and reduce the impact of this incident."
"A very successful one... It's a little troublesome to fight against this kind of person. I'm afraid he has already thought of the way we can think of."
Zhou Zhuo rubbed his chin, feeling a little emotional: "However, I am sure of one thing, since Mayor Yang cares about your life and death, he will never put important items related to your life here. I'm going to start smashing mirrors, you stand back and don't get cut."
"what?"
Before Wang Shifu could react, Zhou Zhuo picked up the sledgehammer and smashed the mirror to pieces. As expected, the injured shadow was hiding inside, jumping out from the mirror fragments all over the floor, trying to escape.
However, Zhou Zhuo was wearing spirit-catching gloves at this time, and it happened that after the previous series of combined punches, there were only more than 30 sanity points left. The shadow of the snake was held in his hand.
Whether it is a ghost or something else, it is not difficult to catch it. When Zhou Zhuo was trying to kill it, a prompt box popped up in front of him.
[? ? ?I am expressing surrender to you, do you accept it? (Reminder, coexistence with the mind body will change the nature of the soul.)]
This thing... is actually a summoned beast that can be collected?
Surprised, Zhou Zhuo chose to accept without hesitation.
The side effect of changing the soul is actually quite obvious. To put it bluntly, it is a change of faction or race. In reality, some people may be scary, but it will not be so in the game.
If I play an orc, I'm a tribal pig. If I play a human, I'm an alliance dog. If you change your camp, you'll be hated by one side at most. But all camps have targeted enemies, and there is no essential difference.
And Zhou Zhuo is very curious, if his soul essence becomes something like a ghost, who will be the boss when he enters the dungeon?
After choosing to agree, he felt some kind of cold memory drilled into his brain, like a basin of icy water poured on his head, he couldn't help shivering, some inexplicable fragments appeared in his memory .
Then a partner attribute panel popped up in sight.
[Name: Cup Bow Snake Shadow]
[Type: Thought Body]
[Quality: Trembling]
[Special Effects: ① Cup Bow Snake Shadow: Consume 100 sanity points, change the existence form into a thought body, and the effect lasts for 10 seconds. ②Like a Shadow: Consume 80 sanity points, invade the shadow of the living body, control the opponent, and the effect lasts for 1-360 seconds. 】
[Remarks: The shadow of a cup, bow and snake is in a trance without proof, but the embellishment is extravagant, just like witnessing. ——Ji Yun's "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes Volume [-]·If I Hear [-]"]
In a nutshell, there are two abilities, one directly drains the sanity and turns into a new life form, which is a bit similar to the second heart, and can probably avoid most physical damage like the night witch. I don't know the difference between the two forms. Whether there will be conflicts, another ability is strong control.
Judging from the effect, this partner is very powerful, and doesn't seem to have the ability to think, and can only act on instinct. To borrow its ability, you must consume a lot of reason.
Here Zhou Zhuo has vaguely seen the future development trend of this game, either relying on props to arm himself as a God of War, or summoning a lot of babies, or simply transforming life forms together, using magic to deal with magic.
Children only make choices, I want them all!
Seeing the snake-like shadow sneaking under Zhou Zhuo's feet, Wang Shifu finally showed a surprised expression when he saw these strange people pulling out their guns before, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
"You are..."
"Like I said, we are not afraid of these things, we are only worried about unknown risks. You don't need to worry, we are entrusted to solve the problem." Zhou Zhuo explained.
He really didn't lie, the player was supposed to accept the task from the system, to solve the problem here, there is no problem with using a lie detector to check.
Seeing that Zhou Zhuo was so calm, Wang Shifu, who was still worried at first, couldn't think of any better way. After all, his hair was dyed and his clothes were worn. We were all non-mainstream in the same boat, and it was too much to jump out of the car now. late……

Chapter 153
"May I ask whose entrustment it is?" Wang Shifu asked curiously.
Making up stories was already instinctive for Zhou Zhuo, so he took out the tower card from his backpack and displayed it in front of Wang Shifu.
"Have you seen it?"
Wang Shifu's expression changed: "This is..."
On the contrary, Zhou Zhuo's curiosity was caught by him: "Why, have you seen it?"
"You'll be surprised if you haven't seen it before. It's the first time I've seen playing cards with moving cards. Where did you buy them? Is it high-tech? Do you need to charge it?"
"..."
Zhou Zhuo was speechless for a moment, the co-author had never even seen Tarot cards before, so it was useless to ask.
"The organization that issued the mission is related to this card. If you don't know anything, then it's best not to ask. Knowing too much about some things is not good. You just need to know that we are on your side and the citizens of Misty Town Yes, that's enough."
"Ok."
Zhou Zhuo's rhetoric was both mysterious and professional, and sounded very reliable. Wang Shifu couldn't find any problems. After all, when it came to his identity, he was the one with the most problems. Then he has no position to talk about it.
"But what about your two friends who entered the mirror?"
"Don't worry, we just do our own thing." Zhou Zhuo waved his hand.
"So those two are so powerful?" Seeing Zhou Zhuo's confidence, Wang Shifu couldn't help but feel ashamed, "I thought they were bastards in the team."
"It can't be called a bastard..." Zhou Zhuo considered his statement, "Consumables are more appropriate."
"Ah?" Wang Shifu was completely dumbfounded.
"Don't worry, they won't die. Since there are two different worlds here, it is conceivable that there are tasks that need to be completed there. As long as you find Mayor Yang, you may not have a chance to see them again. Let's go."
