On the soft ground, Tyrant squatted beside a male corpse. His fingers caressed the corpse's arm. There was a scripture that looked like a birthmark. It was very strange and unusual because it wasn't a tattoo. A tattoo wouldn't have such a clear feeling. But if it was really a birthmark, then it would be strange if it was a birthmark.
However, if it was really a birthmark, then this person was even more of a bug than the reincarnation of a living Buddha. What kind of Buddha was it that could actually have Buddhist lines on his body after the reincarnation?
However, this Buddhist line was a little difficult to understand. It seemed to contain a lot of truth, but it seemed to be separated by a layer of gauze, making it difficult for the monk to understand it at once. However, for the monk, this kind of thing was like a drug addict encountering drugs. He naturally became addicted to it.
Finally, the monk figured out something. This Buddhist line was not modern, it could even be traced back to a thousand years ago. At that time, after the Buddhist culture was introduced to the Han people, it had not been completely transformed into a readable form suitable for the Han people. For example, the so-called Chinese characteristics, so it had a strong primitive aura. Therefore, the monk, who had received the most orthodox Buddhist culture of the Central Plains, felt that this line was a little strange.
Suddenly, the monk suddenly realized that he seemed to have been in deep thought for a little too long. He felt a little embarrassed to let Su Bai and Gyatso wait for him here. It was better to copy the Buddhist theory first and study it later. Or, it would be more convenient to peel off this layer of human skin. Anyway, the monk had always been carefree in this aspect.
However, at this moment, the monk suddenly realized that there was no one around him. Su Bai and Gyatso had gone somewhere, and he was the only one left crouching alone next to the male corpse. Immediately afterward, the Buddhist lines on the male corpse's arm began to fade at this time and finally disappeared completely.
The monk took a deep breath and stood up.
He knew.
It was the Dao.
...
On the neck of the female corpse, there was a tattoo that looked like a totem. The tattoo was of an animal, a very strange animal. In fact, it did not exist in reality at all. It only existed in some ancient books of Tantric Buddhism. It was a mythical existence similar to Taotie and Pixiu.
Gyatso had been staring at the tattoo. It was very interesting. It should have been drawn by a monk with his own aura. There was a kind of atmosphere that belonged to it.
Gradually, as he looked at the totem, a ball of black smoke began to condense behind Gyatso. It was as if he was going to rise on a black cloud like the beast on the tattoo. Gyatso was comprehending it.
Finally, as if he had finally thought of something, Gyatso suddenly woke up. He did not know how long he had been immersed in comprehending this totem, but it should have been a long time. However, why did his two teammates not remind him?
Was it just because they were embarrassed?
But they were not the kind of people who would be embarrassed.
Gyatso raised his head and focused his eyes.
He was the only one left?
Was he alone?
...
"First of all, shouldn't we first confirm whether someone in our team has been swapped?"
After Su Bai said this, his eyes were fixed on Gyatso and Tyrant.
Tyrant nodded. "Indeed. The Poor Monk agrees."
Gyatso said, "Does this count as forcibly creating internal strife?"
"Just to be on the safe side, we can underestimate the people in the team in front of us as much as possible. They might be mentally retarded, too careless, too low-level, or too far behind us. So, it's precisely because of these many possibilities that they don't even know that two people have been replaced in their team.
But what if we think of it in another way?
The people in the team in front are not stupid. They might not be as smart as us, but they did not realize that their teammates had been replaced. This means that the person who was replaced is very good at disguising. It is enough to … pass off the fake as the real one. "
As Su Bai said this, he looked at Gyatso and Tyrant's reaction. Both of them did not have any special reaction.
"How should we check now?" Gyatso pointed at himself. "Tell the truth? Or show our ability? "
Su Bai shook his head. "This is just a guess. I don't think there are that many of those things. Their attention should be focused on the team in front. They should not be paying attention to us for the time being. Besides, it is too difficult for the few of us to be replaced without a sound. If the other party really had such ability, they would have killed all of us in a sneak attack. There is no need for them to be so secretive."
"Yes," Tyrant said.
Gyatso nodded. "Indeed."
"So, for now, let's move forward and catch up with the team in front. At least we know which two people in the team in front have been swapped. This way, we can catch up with the two ghost things that pass off as the real thing. Once these things are exposed, their mysterious veil will be torn off, and they won't be so scary anymore."
The three of them continued to move forward, and they obviously sped up. As they walked, another corpse soon appeared in front of them.
Gyatso closed his eyes and said with certainty, "He just died. He just breathed his last."
Tyrant put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha, "Amitabha."
Su Bai, on the other hand, stood in place, motionless.
Tyrant and Gyatso did not move either.
The corner of Su Bai's mouth curled into a faint smile. In this short period of time when the three of them tacitly remained motionless, Su Bai closed his eyes. His body began to become thin and he directly turned into a zombie.
Tyrant and Gyatso looked at Su Bai.
"This time, I feel that something is a little unusual. So, I will go over like this. Tyrant, didn't you say before that zombies do not belong to the five elements and do not enter the cycle of reincarnation? They are hated by gods and ghosts. I will treat it as a protective talisman."
As soon as his voice fell, Su Bai began to run towards the corpse. Yes, he ran over.
Tyrant and Gyatso immediately followed.
However, Su Bai kept his eyes closed as he ran. When he passed by the third corpse, he did not even open his eyes to look at it. He did not pay any attention to it and just ran past it in a zombie state.
Gyatso and Tyrant stood beside the third corpse and did not take another step forward. Instead, they quietly watched as Su Bai ran further and further away from their line of sight.
Then, both of them looked at each other and saw that the other's face was melting.
...
After running for a distance, in order to save his energy, Su Bai returned to his original state. He sat on a protruding rock. In front of him was darkness and he did not know the path ahead. Behind him was a direction that he could not easily return to.
The two imposters were almost exactly the same as Tyrant and Gyatso. Their imitations were so vivid that they could pass off as the real thing. Su Bai did not find any flaws.
However, sometimes, there were many things that did not need to follow the actual details. Instead, one could follow the feeling.
This was because Su Bai could clearly feel that after the first corpse, Tyrant had become a lot quieter. Although he could speak, communicate, and respond in a way that suited Tyrant's character, he felt that something was missing.
If it was Tyrant or Gyatso, they might not be able to understand it. However, Su Bai could understand and feel it. That was … intelligence.
This was because ever since he entered this world, even since he first met Tyrant in Tibet and completed the mission with him, Su Bai had always been in a very relaxed state. This was because Tyrant would calculate and arrange everything well. He only needed to follow along. Gyatso was obviously such a person. He did not speak much, but his way of doing things was very straightforward, which was very similar to Tyrant.
This was a ghost story world. Therefore, before entering the story world, Su Bai laughed and said that he could ride on two coattails this time. In fact, that was exactly what he did. Ever since he entered the story world, other than killing an ordinary person to make a negative contribution, he basically did not do anything else. It was always Tyrant and Gyatso who were at the forefront.
It was like playing a team competition game. With two god-level teammates to support him, he could easily play a supporting role and share the experience after winning. This was how Su Bai always felt. He also felt that unless he encountered a situation where he could not face the wall, he would not need to do anything else.
However, after entering the cave and meeting the first male corpse, Su Bai suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the team was not right. At that time, he did not fully realize it. After the second female corpse, the feeling became more obvious and finally, Su Bai caught it.
Since when did his role in this team suddenly become the leader who walked on the frontline to discover and analyze the situation?
The positions of the first male corpse and the second female corpse were two nodes. At those two positions, changes happened to Tyrant and Gyatso in his team. The team in front of him also had people die at those two positions.
Therefore, when he faced the third corpse, Su Bai knew that it should be the third node. So, he directly rushed over in his zombie form without stopping or pausing. He directly rushed over!
After that, Su Bai succeeded. Gyatso and Tyrant did not chase after him. This also confirmed Su Bai's previous speculation.
Su Bai suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. He was indeed interesting. Even though he was just a bystander, he had actually gained an advantage. Therefore, if the other party had chosen to switch him first, it was hard to say whether the monk and Jiacuo would have sensed it. After all, they had always been the vanguard in this story world, and it was difficult for the bystander teammates to notice anything wrong even if they continued to follow.
At this moment, Su Bai felt that his palm was a little sticky. He immediately stood up and looked at the rock he was sitting on. He reached his hand in and touched it. In the darkness, he actually felt something furry. It did not look like an animal's fur, but more like … human hair!
Su Bai pursed his lips. He reached out with both hands to grab the thing and pulled it out.
A corpse that was almost completely deformed was dragged out by Su Bai from the gap between the rocks. The blood of the corpse had splattered on the rock, so Su Bai's palm felt sticky when it touched the rock.
This was …
The fourth corpse, which was also the fourth node.
And Su Bai had been sitting here for a long time.
Su Bai patted his forehead, feeling very hurt.
"Can you not f * cking die so secretly?"
