Gao Lie rubbed his eyes and sat up angrily. "Damn those demon hunters, I shouldn't have trusted them." He fumbled around in his clothes pocket for a while, then sighed dejectedly.
The item's properties were all stolen by those people!
He needed to find them quickly, get his things back, and properly vent his evil spirit.
So he quickly walked towards the outside, and after taking less than two steps, a figure appeared in front of him, "Kid, where are you going? You fainted on the street just now, but you scared me."
Cao Liet focused his eyes on the old man.
"Sir, you saved me, right?" He said gratefully, "I have something very important to do, so I need to leave. Once my matter is settled, I will definitely return to properly repay you."
The old man shook his head, "Something so urgent, even life is lost. Look at your pale face, drink some brown sugar water first."
A cup of fragrant brown sugar water appeared before Gao Liet's eyes. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Anyway, those demon hunters definitely won't be waiting for him there. They've already left. He really isn't in a hurry to stay here for the time being.
Cao Liet licked his lips and received the brown sugar water.
"Thank you." He raised the glass, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
"Thief! Money!" Suddenly a loud voice rang out, and Cao Lie felt his hand being grabbed. He lowered his head and saw a short figure wearing a hat and sunglasses, with an unclear face.
"You pay me." The man pulled the high-ranking officer and had to go out.
Cao Liet sneered, "You're the one who touched me."
He pinched his fist, and was about to throw it towards that person's head, but saw that person approaching him, and said in a low voice, "Right now, except for the reserve Drunken Master Army, how can they not even see through this little trick?"
Cao was shocked and stopped moving.
"Cao Lie, remember, as a Drunken Master, the most important thing is to maintain calm, maintain reason, and maintain vigilance. Especially in an unfamiliar environment."
Oh no! How could I have forgotten what my family taught me?
Gao Lie condensed his spiritual power and looked at the old man in front of him. He saw the old man instantly turn from a living, flesh-and-blood man into a paper man. He then looked at the cup of brown sugar water that he had almost drunk. Now, it was a cup of thick, disgusting, dark brown blood.
"I don't need to drink." Cao Liet thought and shouted in fear.
*
"Thank you for saving me just now. Who are you exactly?" Hiding in a corner, Gao Liet asked.
"A person passing by. You can call me Mr. Hai Tru." Tu Tri said. Mr. Hai Tru was the name of her detective in her previous life.
She also did not know why she had to return. She was not the original body, although she had been taken care of by the original body's parents for half a year, but in the end there was no deep affection.
If she just left like that, with her abilities, she should be able to survive, and even have a pretty good life.
But she came back.
She most likely, has an extremely high, infinitely close to one hundred percent chance of dying here.
"Mr. Hai Tru. Did you happen to pass by this place and discover the ghost drug, so you came in?" Gao Lie asked.
Tu Tri nodded, the thing that caused the residents here to turn into paper people was called ghost drunk.
Gao Lie instantly came to a conclusion. Being able to move around freely, it seemed that more than half of them were not recruited to go out and eliminate the Drunken Master, but were free to hunt demons. Dare to enter the Polluted Area alone, her strength definitely could not be underestimated. At first glance, it was a young woman who called herself Mr. Hai Zhu, obviously wanting to hide her true identity.
This Mr. Hai Tru must be a formidable character. Gao Lie looked towards Tu Tri with eyes filled with admiration.
Tu Tri coughed unnaturally, "Where are you?"
Gao Lie hurriedly said, "My name is Gao Lie, I am preparing to become a Drunken Master. Today I received news, saying that a Pollution Zone has appeared here. I originally planned to cooperate with Boss Peng and the others, using the special items I already have in exchange, but I was tricked by them. Luckily I met you. If you can solve this place's evil spirits, I will definitely cooperate with you with all my might, all the special items are yours, I don't need anything else."
Tu Tri thought for a moment and tried to say, "If it were you alone, with your current physical condition, what would you do?"
"Of course we are waiting for rescue." Gao Lie said in surprise, is this question still worth asking?
"For what?"
Gao Lie was shocked, could it be that Mr. Hai Zhu was testing himself? This seemed simple, apart from the Drunken Master and the Demon Hunter already reaching a common understanding of the problem, could it be that there were other solutions? So he pondered for a moment, straightened his chest, and seriously said like a student answering a teacher's question, "Ghostly Drunkenness is the derivative of the power of evil gods, and it follows certain rules. Without rituals and without special items, it is impossible to defeat. But right now, my mental power has been severely injured by Elder Peng, and I can't even differentiate between ghostly drunkenness, let alone use rituals. As for my special items, they were all taken away by them..."
Cao Lie's next sentence, Tu Tri could not hear clearly, she was completely attracted by the two words "rule".
The strange Red Word that appeared before my eyes, isn't it some kind of rule...
At this moment, a heavy set of footsteps came, and immediately after that, several paper men holding colorful food appeared in front of Tu Tri and Gao Lie.
"You guys are hungry, eat something." 'It' group shouted together.
Gao Lie was about to say, "If you guys go far away, we won't eat," when he saw Xu Zhi signal him with his eyes and said in a low voice, "Study with me."
After speaking, Tu Tri stiffly raised her hands and feet, seemingly leisurely walking, and walked forward. Those paper figures originally covering her in front of her, drawn with ink, glanced at each other, silently giving her a path.
Cao Liet did not know the reason, but the elders were all so fair, he could only learn Tu Tri's walking posture.
The paper men silently made way for them, watching them go away.
The two of them swung a few times until they could no longer see the paper people. Only then did Tu Tri return to normal and walk, carrying Gao Lie to another hiding corner.
"Mr. Hai Tru, why did you want to do that just now?" Cao Liet asked.
"Didn't you see the 'it' group's walking posture? If we imitate such a posture, we might be unable to distinguish between us." Tu Tri said.
Gao Lie suddenly woke up and realized. He was unconscious before being attacked by Boss Peng's special props, his mental strength greatly decreased. He couldn't see the abnormality of these people, and even less would he think of imitating them.
Mr. Hai Tru is indeed a great man!
"I still have a problem." Gao Liet Co's eyebrows furrowed, "We can directly refuse 'its' food group, just like what I did just now."
Tu Tri: "It is possible, but not recommended. I guess, if the refusal reaches a certain number of times, for example three times, it will likely cause 'it' group to mutate."
Looking at Tu Tri's confident appearance, Gao Liet became even more respectful. Up until now, Mr. Hai Tru had not used any special items or rituals to get rid of so many Contaminated Objects.
"Mr. Hai Zhu, I believe you will definitely be able to find and subdue the ghost drug here." Gao Lie said excitedly. Even if he could not obtain any ghost drug characteristics this time, but learning from a great master like Mr. Hai Zhu, the experience he gained was also extremely rare and precious.
Tu Tri:...
She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about how to continue the polite words from the high-ranking official's mouth, when Hong Tu appeared before her eyes again:
[If you are still in the Polluted Area, then when the blood-red moonlight rises, you must find a place to cover yourself, and absolutely cannot let the moonlight shine on you.]
"Let's find a place to hide first." Tu Tri stood up and walked towards a warehouse in his memory. This warehouse had been abandoned for a long time and was rarely visited.
Gao Lie suddenly slapped his head, "That's right! The Blood Moon is about to rise. How come I forgot all this common sense? The night in the Pollution District is exceptionally dangerous, because the moonlight here is not ordinary moonlight, but blood red. Mr. Hai Zhu, do you know the secret of the Blood Moon?"
I know nothing! Tu Tri silently walked forward. Gao Lie covered his mouth, the blood moon was the most confidential secret, even if he knew in front of the big boss, he would not be able to tell this person he was meeting for the first time.
He pursed his lips and followed the tall figure that reached his shoulder, Tu Tri, who turned left and right after that, and arrived at a three-room large abandoned warehouse.
Looking at the empty warehouse, the curtains were tightly drawn, Gao Liet inwardly shouted that the boss was really awesome, and quickly found a hiding place. He must have brought some kind of auxiliary item with him.
"The moonlight penetrated through the space, how wonderful." Gao Lie said excitedly, the red moon would increase chaos and madness, lower rationality and calmness. It was the source of the Polluted Area's energy. This place could perfectly avoid the damage of the red moon.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I feel something is not right, but I can't say it." Gao Lie's thick eyebrows furrowed, his square face filled with doubt.
Tu Tri looked at him, just a glance, and was so scared that he took two steps back.
Only saw Cao Liet not knowing when he woke up, his hands and legs had turned into paper limbs, only his head, neck and body still maintained the appearance of a living person.
Tu Tri lowered her head, hiding her face full of surprise. At this moment, she caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye, the pair of leather shoes she was stepping on had also changed their appearance, turning into paper shoes. Her gaze moved up, she saw a pair of legs cut from paper and then glued into a round shape.
She wanted to reach out and caress it, but found the movement extremely difficult.
"Mr. Hai Tru, what the hell is wrong with me? I feel like something is wrong." Gao Liet's confused voice came.
Tu Tri opened his mouth to gasp, not knowing how to respond. At this moment, Hong Tu's eyes once again appeared:
[Imitate 'it' group's movements and postures, and you can temporarily fool 'it' group.]
I just saw this one!
Tu Tri's heart was a little angry. As if sensing her thoughts, the red text flickered for a moment, then the second half of the content appeared:
[But, once a certain period of time passes by imitating, it will be assimilated by 'it' group, slowly turning into 'it' group.]
Tu Tri:!
Originally, she and Gao Lie imitated the paper man's walking posture. So now they are slowly transforming into paper men?
Damn the rules, why don't you just say it in one breath!
No, what should she do now? How can she return to normal
