The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 172: Strange Things in the Theater (20)

After everyone had gathered, Jingchen began to explain to those mortals the rules of traveling at night. Of course, these were all figured out by him on the orders of the city lord.

He said, "Just in case, when we came back during the day, we bought some candles from the grocery store in the city. This Mr. Feng made the candles into simple candle lamps for you to carry with you. However, we cannot guarantee that the light source of the candle lamps complies with the regulations, so it is up to you whether to use them or not."

After he finished speaking, he took out a few simple candle lamps from his spiritual treasure bag and handed them to them. Gong Yu and Chun Tao refused, as they naturally had ways to stay in the light. Cui Ren and Guangsheng took a lamp to save their lives at any time. Lin Yifeng had a gloomy face and hesitated for a moment before taking a lamp in his hand. However, Su Miaoying, who was left, refused with a firm look on her face.

She said, "If only the candles in the city can be used, then the homemade candle light source is considered a violation of the rules. Then the two light sources may overlap, which will interfere with your judgment and may even cost you your life."

Mu Hanxing smiled. This Su Miaoying was really smart.

After listening to her, everyone looked at the candles in their hands and began to feel conflicted again, as if every choice they made was pushing them to a crossroads where they had to make a life or death decision.

After everyone thought for a while, Lin Yifeng returned the candle to Jingchen: "This girl is right. If the homemade light source cannot save people, but instead becomes a distraction from judging the correct light source, it is better not to have it."

Cui Ren was reluctant, but he still felt it made sense. Besides, it was embarrassing for a cultivator like him to use a candle to save his life. He just went over and took it subconsciously.

His face turned pale and he silently returned the candle to Jingchen. The fortune teller didn't even want the lamp and just stood there quietly observing the surroundings.

Seeing that no one wanted the lights, Guangsheng panicked, so he cleared his throat and said in a trembling voice: "Then... maybe I don't want it either, let's go."

Mu Hanxing glanced at him, thinking that he was a coward as a mouse, without his own judgment or thinking, and just followed the crowd.

After confirming everyone's choices, Mu Hanxing took the lead and walked in front: "Okay, then follow me. Wherever I go, you go. Always pay attention to the light source under your feet. Don't leave the light range, and try not to be too far away from me."

The mortals behind her nodded and followed her carefully as they walked from Ziyun Inn towards the stage in the city center.

There is a certain distance between the two points, and the walking process is not as easy as imagined. There are many places where the distance between light sources is very large, and it is impossible to cross in one step. It requires the help of several people with magic to carry a mortal to fly over. Master Cui Ren and his apprentice can take care of themselves, and Gong Yu and Chun Tao don't need her to worry about them. The remaining three people, Su Miaoying, Guangsheng, and Shen Suanzi, are just responsible for one each.

Mu Hanxing carried Su Miaoying away, and Jingchen and Fengxiao were responsible for the remaining two men.

When they arrived at a store in the city under the candlelight, they took a break to discuss the matter.

Guangsheng asked Mu Hanxing cautiously: "Go to the stage and ask the guards if we can watch the show? Will the guards think we are uninvited?"

"But I didn't see any guards along the way." Mu Hanxing's eyes were blind, but he didn't see any.

"You can't just ask random questions. The guards in each area have different characteristics and responsibilities. I can't guarantee that you will be killed if you ask random questions." Feng Xiao glanced at Guangsheng.

Mu Hanxing did ask one at the beginning, but at that time he didn't pay much attention to the appearance and dress of the guard, let alone the badge.

Several people continued to walk forward towards the light source.

Regarding the guards, Feng Xiao continued to tell everyone based on his careful observations over the past few days: "The city is divided into four areas, and the guards in each area have different duties. They will wander around. Although they look similar, you can tell them apart by looking closely at the color of their belts. Different colors may be responsible for different things. The red ones are specifically responsible for resisting foreign enemies and cannot communicate. The yellow ones can communicate simply, but usually only answer simple questions, such as telling the timeline here, telling the geographical location, etc. As for the remaining white and black, I haven't tried them specifically, so I don't know what they will trigger."

Mu Hanxing quickly asked, "What color was the belt of the guard who killed someone this morning?"

"Black." Feng Xiao confirmed, "The 'black belt' guarding the door can indeed ask if he can leave the city, but he will also kill people."

"Then can we assume that the Black Guards are responsible for duties such as 'executioner' or 'executioner'?" Jingchen asked Fengxiao.

Feng Xiao was not sure, so he just said, "It's all speculation now. I'm not sure what the white guards do. I don't know for now. The safest way is to find the guards wearing yellow belts and ask them if they have any performances tonight. Then ask if you can go to the show. The 'yellow belts' won't attack."

"Are you sure the yellow one won't attack?" Jingchen asked again.

Gong Yu interrupted impatiently: "Are you deaf again? I've already said that everything is just speculation and no one is sure. Otherwise, you can go and try it."

Sure enough, Gong Yu annoyed Jing Chen more.

Jing Chen pondered for a while, then said to Mu Hanxing: "Why don't I go and look for it alone? I'll try these colors again. No matter how profound the ghost path is, I don't think it can do anything to me."

Mu Hanxing remained silent and did not agree. She was a little hesitant and didn't want Jingchen to take the risk alone.

Feng Xiao was able to try so many things without restraint and master the rules, perhaps because it was all during the day. No one can guarantee that the rules at night are the same as during the day, and it would probably only be more dangerous.

"Hey, no!" Guangsheng immediately disagreed and grabbed Jingchen's sleeve, "If you leave, how can I go far away? I can't jump over!"

The two of them were a small team bound together just now. Jingchen was responsible for carrying Guangsheng to the light source. If Jingchen left, he felt that he would have difficulty surviving.

Indeed, letting Jingchen leave the team is not good for them.

Mu Hanxing sighed: "Forget it, let's go together."

She was walking in the front, and Gong Yu was right beside her, exploring the way for her and taking care of Su Miaoying, while stepping a little further forward to protect her from the danger in front in time. Jing Chen and Feng Xiao saw it, with dark colors in their eyes, and they felt helpless because they were both responsible for the safety of a mortal, so their pace slowed down, and they also had to ensure Su Miaoying's safety together.

Gong Yu turned around and glanced at the two of them coldly with a smug look on his face.

At this time, these three guys were still doing these trivial things. She held her breath and pretended not to see them, and continued to move quickly towards the light source.

At this moment, the next light source not far away suddenly went out!
