I really only stop

"... Lu Xi, what are you doing?"

Lu Xi didn't reply immediately, but turned to Yuxia next to her and said:

"Give this guy a bondage, just like the one you put on the pink fur in the maze last time."

[Trap?are you sure? 】

Yuxia's big eyes blinked in bewilderment, and after receiving Lu Xi's affirmative gaze, she still gently raised her hand. The next moment, endless holy light gushed out from her palm, turning into a cocoon Firmly wrap the adventurer controlled by Lu Xi in place.

Lu Xi must have his reasons for doing this.From the first time we met, his body shone with a kind of brilliance that was different from ordinary people.

A gleam of unknown meaning flashed in Yuxia's eyes.

Supporting him like this...is [correct].

Although Yuxia chose to believe in Lu Xi, others may not necessarily think so.

"Hey, Lucy!"

The pink-haired knight called out to Lu Xi in a low voice, leaned into his ear and whispered:

"Are you okay? I also know that we are going to a dead end, but we can't attack fellow adventurers because of this! If you insist on doing this, you might die in the hands of President Faron before the monsters! "

"Huh? Do you think I'm the kind of person who drowns himself and drags others to the bottom?"

Turning a blind eye at the idiot pink hair like an idiot, Lu Xi pouted at the adventurer who kept silent even though he was restrained:

"Where's this guy's teammates? I have something to ask."

"..."

The adventurers looked at the silent President Fallon hesitantly. They didn't know whether they should obey Lu Xi's command at this moment.

Obviously everyone was ready for a deadly battle just now, and it was the time to unite as one, but the sudden adjustment would really make people feel at a loss.

At this time, it is always right to listen to President Fallon's opinion.

Apparently aware of the gazes of the adventurers, Faron suddenly raised his head, looking at Lu Xi with a hint of oppression in his eyes.He asked in a deep voice:

"Lu Xi, are you sure you understand what you are doing?"

"Clearly."

Lu Xi smiled easily, and his eyes were full of calmness that was completely opposite to the situation at the moment:

"So, leave it to me here!"

----------

"it's me."

After getting the president's approval, the remaining adventurers are also willing to cooperate with Lu Xi's scheduling.An archer raised his right hand, signaling that he was speaking:

"...My name is Echa, and I'm this guy—Jet's teammate."

"Don't be nervous, I won't tie you up too."

Seeing what Archer was guarding against, Lu Xi waved his hand reassuringly: "I just want to ask you a simple question. In the past few days, do you think there is anything suspicious about this guy named Jeter?"

"Suspicious?"

Ai Cha scratched his head vigorously: "... To be honest, I really don't know. Both of us are B-level adventurers. This time we just formed a temporary team and obtained the qualification to explore the unknown maze. Actually I don't know much about him, except that I have occasionally met him in the guild before."

This is actually not surprising.There are not a few adventurers who like to travel alone like Celica before.They are always alone, and only when they accept the task of the team will they get together in twos and threes to form a temporary cooperative relationship.

"Okay, thanks for your answer."

Seeing the uneasiness in Ai Cha's expression, Lu Xi smiled reassuringly, and stretched out his hand towards Faron: "Then, the next question is for you, President Faron."

As if he didn't expect that he would be called by name at this time, Faron paused, but nodded:

"...Okay, let's ask."

Lu Xi didn't procrastinate: "When you were in the cave before, you told me that the one who reported [a new type of monster appeared in this area] was the bound Mr. Jeter?"

"Yes."

Faron nodded: "A month ago, the B-level adventurer Jeter handed in information about the new monster at the front desk of the guild. After careful analysis and judgment by the intelligence department, we predict that there may be a [Honkai Labyrinth] here." After confirming the entrance to the maze, I issued this urgent task in the name of the president."

"Oh~ that's right."

Lu Xi sighed meaningfully, walked to the restrained Jeter and knelt down:

"It not only discovered a new type of monster, but also provided information for the labyrinth—what a feat, Mr. Jeter."

"[...]"

Even so, Jeter still bowed his head, his mouth tightly shut and said nothing.

"Lu Xi, I see that you may understand something."

Faron cleared his throat, and looked at the flower of flesh and blood outside the window with a serious face: "However, I want to remind you that this is not the guild hall. All explanations must be kept simple - as for your strong desire to express, if you If we return to the guild safely, all the drinks in the warehouse will be open at half price, and you can brag about your achievements at the reception."

Ah, Uncle Fallon is angry.

This is also understandable, and Mr. Police, who watched the pretending detective slowly talk about things that can be clearly explained in one sentence, probably felt the same way.

Seeing Faron's calm and oppressive expression, Lu Xi quickly put away his pippi knight mentality of letting go, and coughed lightly:

"Well, in order to understand everything, let's start from the beginning."

------------

"As you all know, as soon as we left the cave, the village chief greeted us from a distance. During the march, he gave us a rough introduction to the situation of the village, such as the relationship between aquatic monsters and the environment, and The measures they took to guard against aquatic monsters."

"Well, I still remember."

Yuxia nodded in agreement: "This is not a lie. There are traces of the well being filled on the ground of the village. The traces are very new, and they correspond to what the village chief said about 'drying the environment of the village'."

"Exactly. So far, although we feel that the atmosphere in the village is not normal, we can't say anything."

Secretly giving Yuxia a thumbs-up, Lu Xi continued: "After that, we were taken to the hotel in the village. After we settled down, we heard that [the village has prepared separate VIP rooms for Chairman Faron and me] ], so I was taken to the VIP room on the second floor by myself."

"That, is that a trick used by the monster to get rid of the leader?"

Nana thought for a while, and said tentatively: "President Faron has been giving orders to the adventurers, and he pulled Lucie to the front row. The village chief who witnessed all this mistakenly thought you two were the leaders. As long as Lucy and President Fallon are removed, the adventurers will be in chaos."

"Another completely correct answer, Nana is great."

Rubbing the head of the girl who was overjoyed by these words, Lu Xi scanned the faces of the adventurers one by one:

"So far, everything is logical. We are adventurers, and monsters are monsters. They want to use their tricks to make us mess up - this is very common, very logical. However..."

In a blink of an eye, the leisurely smile on Lu Xi's face disappeared, and he turned his head suddenly, staring closely at the inexplicably silent adventurer [Jeter]:

"What's really starting to confuse me—is [everything] that happened next."

Chapter 67 The Monster's Trick

"After the party, the village head suddenly made a very strange request or rule, [don't go out no matter what noise you hear after zero o'clock]."

Glancing at the notes on the light screen that only he could see, Lu Xi looked at everyone:

"Don't you think it's strange? Knowing that the villagers are all monsters, I can't understand the meaning of the village chief's words."

"Is it pure intimidation? I was quite scared when I heard it..."

Trembling a bit, Celica said in a low voice: "Or, or! They wanted to defeat us one by one from the beginning, and they were afraid that the adventurers who were resting in other rooms would hear the sound of the battle and come for reinforcements, so He deliberately scared us!"

Well?How could Celica come up with such a reasonable analysis?Still quite reliable at critical moments!

Looking at Zelika in surprise, Lu Xi shook his head: "I thought so too at first, but it still can't explain what happened next."

"In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a knock on the door. It was later confirmed that the knock on the door was a Nepenthes flesh in a state of combat readiness. And my window was covered with dense human head moths—yes, it was The bunch that was brutally bombarded by the girls."

Lu Xi's description obviously reminded the female adventurers of the fear of being dominated by moths, and they all shivered.

"I think, I understand what Lucy means."

At this moment, Fallon, who had been thinking along Lu Xi's train of thought, said:

"If according to the previous speculation, if they want to get rid of me and Lu Xi first, they can just sneak into the room and launch an attack. From the number and strength of the monsters arranged to attack us, it can be seen that the flower obviously doesn't know The two of us are strong. Therefore, it seems strange why they don't swarm up, but keep knocking on the door to lure outside."

If the Flower of Flesh had the ability to go back in time, after seeing Fallon's [Wu Shuang.jpg], it would never do the stupid thing of sending a Nepenthes flesh to attack Fallon.Thinking about it the other way around, without knowing the strength of the two of them, it is very puzzling to put effort into the supernatural development instead of assassinating.

What is the reason for this group of disgusting monsters to adopt such a mysterious method?It's [Rules] hitting the door again, is it really just a lie to make adventurers panic?

"unless--"

Taking out a shard of glass from his pocket, Lu Xi showed a meaningful smile:

"Unless these monsters really [can't enter] our room?"

----------

"how could it be possible!"

Celica was the first to jump up to object: "Didn't the village head monster come into our room to call out Weak Xi? If they can't get into the room, how did they get you——Yah! Hey!"

Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a shiny object flying towards her, Zelika subconsciously clasped her hands together, and made a beautiful movement of catching the hidden weapon with her bare hands.Afterwards, she realized what it was that she caught:

"Bo, shards of glass?"

This guy really has two brushes... I originally planned to stop scaring her when the glass was about to hit her.

Lu Xi laughed dryly: "What, Zerika, try injecting magic power into it?"

"Magic power? Oh! There really is a magic circle inside!"

No matter how nonsense she usually is, Celica is still a real magician.Seeing the mystery hidden in the glass shards at a glance, Zelika looked at Lu Xi with vigilance:

"Why? Is this the kind of prank where I will be electrified when I input magic power—"

"—Who, who would do something that a child would do!"

Lu Xi, who was told what was on his mind, felt a fever on his face: "Stop talking nonsense and use it!"

"Cut~ If I get electrocuted, I will definitely do my best to curse you!"

Seeing Lu Xi's insistence, Zelika groaned, but still followed his instructions consciously: "Well, I have already input the magic power, and it seems that nothing has changed...Eh? This is—【 water】?"

Jeter, who was restrained, trembled unconsciously.

Taking a panoramic view of Jeter's small movements, Lu Xi was more convinced of his judgment, he nodded:

"Yes, it's water. In fact, when I woke up late at night and touched the door and window, I also found a damp feeling on the door panel and window."

"Damp?"

Faron frowned: "I can only think of aquatic monsters. Is it the natural impact they have on the environment when they appear, or is it the monsters disguised as villagers who secretly sprinkled on the door, in order to allow more monsters to move in the village?" Hands and feet?"

"Attention, the question we just deduced is [why monsters don't directly invade at night]. Let's not talk about those complicated things, we might as well think according to the most normal and simple logic, [can't enter] the reason for a certain place is extremely It may be [blocked]."

Without directly answering Faron's question, Lu Xi turned his head to look at the increasingly restless Jeter, with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth:

"What if the reason they do this... is because of [water]?"

"...!"

Jeter, who had been silent all this time, finally struggled violently at this moment!

--------

"Think about it carefully, how credible is the [Aquatic Monster] said by the monster himself?"

Provoking Jeter's head with the hilt of the sword, Lu Xi stopped dawdling, and completely unlocked the door named [Truth] to others:

"No one is so stupid as to intentionally tell the enemy about their own disadvantages, but disguising one's disadvantages as advantages is a [trap] that every intelligent life form may set for the enemy."

As expected of the former army commander who has experienced many battles, Fallon reacted instantly: "[Disadvantage] disguised as [Advantage]... Wait, you mean!"

"Yes, these guys are not aquatic, on the contrary, they are extremely [weak water]."

Lu Xi nodded: "Once you think about it, their weird behavior before can be perfectly connected with the abnormal phenomenon."

"...That's right, if these monsters are extremely weak to water, they won't be able to pass through the water-soaked doors and windows."

Yuxia suddenly realized and hammered her palm: "Lu Xi, the door between you and President Faron is drier than our door?"

"That's right. The door of my room is only slightly damp, but the doorknob of your room is so wet that you can slide your hands open. You don't need to get up at night to check this, just look at the different amounts of [moss] on the door panels and window sills." I can understand."

Lu Xi smiled slightly: "Why did you choose those two rooms as the so-called [VIP rooms]? I'm afraid it's because they destroyed some magic circles before, so the water is not as sufficient as other rooms. And——"
