Infinite Flow: An Invitation from World B

Chapter 99 Organizing Thoughts

No one voiced their objection, and everyone took it as an acceptance of Zhao Hu's proposal.

Even with Zhao Hu watching over him, Le Zheng Fengye was still worried. He narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing all his attention on Li Zheng's hands, not daring to relax for a moment.

After the drawing of lots began, Li Zheng quickly picked up a lot before the others. He subtly touched the engravings on the lot and then put it back.

Because he was moving too fast and his hand was blocked by the person in front of him, Zhao Hu did not notice his little trick.

Seeing this, Le Zheng Fengye grabbed the stick, threw away the one he had drawn, and then quietly moved the stick to the spot where Li Zheng would make his move again.

After receiving the fortune stick, Li Zheng's expression changed visibly. This time, the fortune stick he received was the worst, even worse than the first one.

However, by this time everyone else had already chosen their lots, and his little scheme had failed.

The order of the draw was as follows: Li Na, Jian Yu, Zhao Hu, Lin Tian, ​​Liu Jia, Le Zhengfengye, Li Zheng, and Su Zixu.

On the way back, Lin Tian looked at the top-ranked lottery ticket in her hand and sighed. She felt it was a pity that she hadn't been ranked ahead of that treacherous Li Zheng.

The three returned to the courtyard. Before entering the house, Lin Tian suddenly instructed Su Zixu, "Tomorrow you will be the last one, and you will be behind Li Zheng in line. You must be extra careful."

After saying that, the three of them went back to their respective rooms.

Inside the room, Su Zixu drank five cups of water before recovering, and then explained their mission to Le Zheng Feng Ye.

"Kid, let me break down your thoughts for you."

Lezheng Fengye pulled Su Zixu to the table, and the two sat down.

"First of all, the first clue is General Lu. All of Lu's blood relatives should be dead, but General Lu must still be alive."

Su Zixu's eyes widened slightly. "How is that possible? Didn't Lou Bo'an say that when he arrived here, the old general he saw was no longer human?"

"Let me finish speaking."

What he saw was indeed not the old general, but an evil creature kept by the Lu family.

If this evil entity is truly the Sangharama, then General Lu must not be dead, because the Sangharama's method of offering is blood offering, with blood as the bond.

The Sangharama was not originally evil, but by offering blood and flesh, its divinity was defiled, and it became an evil being, which was irreversible.

If all the blood relatives of the person who made the contract, including the person themselves, die, the contract will become invalid, and the Shahghandas will lose its control. You can probably guess what will happen then.

Su Zixu: "He definitely won't survive."

Le Zheng Feng Ye: "Can't survive? Kid, if it really comes to that, just pray you kill yourself quickly enough."

Su Zixu: "So our ultimate goal is to find General Lu?"

Le Zheng Fengye: "That's only one aspect. We not only need to find him, but we also need to ensure he's alive."

The second clue is the formation set up by this evil creature.

The task I did in Yi'an Village, combined with your burial location tonight, and some discoveries Lin Tian just told me in the courtyard.

I can deduce that there are two formations. This formation is a double layout, with one layer for sacrificial purposes and the other layer containing the mysteries of feng shui.

This deliberate approach is as if the person who set up the formation knew that there was an expert among those entering the mansion.

Not only did they foresee it, but they even predicted it precisely for me and Jianyu, one of whom was knowledgeable in sacrificial rituals and the other in feng shui.

That's incredible, absolutely incredible.

"This person might actually surpass me in skill."

Le Zheng Feng Ye's words made Su Zixu feel a chill run down his spine upon closer examination.

This is a dream, a dream made by a person.

He always regarded the people here as NPCs in the story, believing that these NPCs would not have their own thoughts.

But if things are really as Yue Zheng Fengye described, then he needs to rethink this issue.

—Were they really just thrown into a dream, that simple?

Seeing that Su Zixu's face suddenly turned extremely pale, Le Zheng Fengye comforted him, "I suppose you've also noticed that no good person could have such a complicated dream, right?"

Actually, I never thought this place was just a dream.

But since I entered this place after falling asleep, I've gotten used to calling it a dream.

Don't think about that now. We'll deal with whatever comes our way; there's always a solution.

Su Zixu said, "I'm just a little shocked. Right now, it's more realistic to think about how to get out. Please continue your analysis."

Seeing that Su Zixu had come to his senses, Yue Zheng Feng Ye continued:

"The purpose of setting up the formation must be to nourish this evil creature."

Furthermore, judging from the location of the formation, the entire formation is extremely large, and it should encompass the entire Mingsha City.

Next, we need to find all the formations set up by the Lu family, and the most important of all are the formation cores.

However, it's unrealistic for me to break the formation on my own. I can only try to delay it, for example, by not doing the mission properly.

We can only look for opportunities in the next mission.

After speaking, Yue Zheng Feng Ye remained silent for a long while before continuing:

"There's just one thing I haven't fully understood yet."

The array that is set up has two effects: one is to nourish, and the other is to suppress.

I interpret this phenomenon as the Lu family nurturing the evil entity while simultaneously preventing it from spiraling out of control.

However, I feel that my understanding may not be accurate, and this issue needs to be observed further through tasks.

Su Zixu: "I understand now. What's this 'Return to the Dead' period?"

Le Zheng Fengye smiled and said:

"This is the feud between the Lu family and the Lou family. That steward is very shrewd. He said it was to mourn the fallen soldiers, but I think it was clearly because the Lu family was afraid that the vengeful spirits of the Lou family would come back to haunt them, so they had no choice but to perform this ritual."

The ridiculous prayer we're going to copy tomorrow is related to this "receiving evil spirits" ritual.

That wasn't a blessing at all; it was for us to transcribe sacrificial texts for warding off evil spirits, on behalf of the Lu family's blood relatives.

At this point, Yue Zhengfengye suddenly realized that Li Zheng would be in line behind him tomorrow.

He immediately became excited; he was determined not to let the organization down and to execute Li Zheng on the spot.

Su Zixu felt a chill run down his spine as he watched Le Zheng Fengye's expression gradually turn distorted.

He felt that compared to Lin Tian and Le Zheng Fengye, he was still too normal, and he needed to learn more from these two.

Le Zheng Fengye snapped out of his thoughts and spoke again.

"In short, based on our experience over the past few days, a batch of tasks were to feed that evil spirit, such as going to the ancestral hall to worship ancestors and paying respects to that evil spirit."

The mission we went out to do was to reinforce the formation, and tonight's burial at the Lou family tomb is also to strengthen the Gen Earth Formation.

Yi'an Village corresponds to the Li Huo Formation. If I'm not mistaken, three other formations will appear next.

Once the entire formation is perfected, we'll be close to death. We need to find a way to break it.
