Ren Xiaosu stood in the campsite and looked around as though he was carefully observing everyone's expressions. He looked like he was determined to find out who the murderer was.
When Yang Xiaojin saw this, she quickly lowered her head and hid her expression under her cap, afraid others would see through her.
"Why are you looking at me?" Cheng Yu quickly explained to Ren Xiaosu, "It's not like I killed him."
"But you're the first to speak up." Ren Xiaosu said, "Don't you know that in most murder cases, the first person to discover the crime scene is the murderer?"
Cheng Yu was speechless. Was this the time to play a game of deduction?
He could not be bothered with Ren Xiaosu anymore. Instead, he turned his gaze to the others and speculated who was responsible.
Cheng Yu sized up the wound on Li Shentan's corpse. It looked like a knife wound, but he immediately thought of something. Didn't White Mask use a black saber? Could it be White Mask's doing?
Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu quietly sat back down next to Yang Xiaojin and allowed everyone to speculate.
But Wang Yun suddenly said, "That's not right."
Everyone looked over and heard Wang Yun say, "This Li Shentan must be dead, but why hasn't his corpse been devoured? Could it be that the underground plant has suddenly eaten its fill? That doesn't make sense, right? "
Only then did everyone realize they had almost forgotten about this!
In order to prevent the plant from attacking them while they slept, everyone had been sleeping in the trees.
But now, they had slept all the way until noon. Not only were they fine, but Li Shentan's corpse was also not devoured by the plant.
"Could it be that we've already walked out of the plant's area?" Cheng Yu wondered.
"No." Wang Yun shook his head. "I think there's something fishy about this Li Shentan. Perhaps you guys haven't seriously studied Li Shentan, but I have. How could someone like him die so quietly? Have you ever thought that he might be a fake? For example, could he be one of the Pyro Company's T6s? "
"Counterfeit?" Everyone fell into deep thought. If it were any other place, no one would believe such a thing. But the Sacred Mountains were so strange, and this was also the direction of the Pyro Company's research, so it was not impossible.
Luo Lan, who was at the side, said, "Who cares if it's real or not, we finally don't have to sleep on a tree tonight!"
For Luo Lan, his focus was always different from others …
"Don't think too much about it. Everyone has to move forward anyway." Wang Yun said with a smile, "Instead of looking into what happened, it's better to think about what we should do next. Let's calculate the distance and time. We'll probably enter the Sacred Mountain's core area in a day and a half. When that time comes, will everyone rely on their own abilities or work together? "
"Cooperate?" One of them sneered and said, "Wang Yun, are you serious? We haven't settled the score for stealing information from our Zhou Clan last year. How can we cooperate?"
"So we'll have to rely on our own abilities then?" Wang Yun said with a smile, "I don't care."
What he meant by "I don't care" was actually that he wanted to follow Ren Xiaosu. This time, he had already given up on his plan to fight for the No. 001 Experimental. He only hoped to gain something else.
Moreover, Wang Yun hoped that the others would also step forward to compete with Ren Xiaosu and give him a good kick.
"Everyone." Cheng Yu stood up and said, "Since we're all here, I hope everyone can put aside their past grudges and understand that the Sacred Mountains are still the Pyro Company's home ground. I know you've been conserving your strength, but with our current strength, we still have to work together against a common enemy."
"That's right," Ren Xiaosu echoed.
Cheng Yu felt his passion for giving a speech had been extinguished. For some reason, when Ren Xiaosu agreed with him, he suddenly felt like he had said something wrong.
He started doubting himself.
A strange silence fell over the campsite.
With the addition of the other teams, the number of people in the group had increased to 85. The mix of members gave Cheng Yu a headache.
Cheng Yu looked at White Mask. "What are your plans?"
…
"What are you doing?" Si Liren asked curiously as she looked at Li Shentan.
At this moment, Li Shentan was facing a stream and making all sorts of strange expressions. At times, he was extremely shocked, and at other times, extremely aggrieved.
When Li Shentan heard Si Liren's question, he stood up and explained, "Oh, that clone of mine is dead."
"How did you know?" Vanilla asked in surprise.
"When he was giving you all the psychological suggestion, I also planted a button in his heart. Now that the button is gone, it means he's dead too," Li Shentan said matter-of-factly.
Vanilla did not say anything. So it turned out that Li Shentan was indeed much stronger than his clone. He could even counter the other party without being discovered.
But wasn't that Li Shentan's clone too carelessly killed?
Everyone had a sleepless night because they did not know how to deal with the clone Li Shentan. In the end, he died by noon the next day.
Who killed him? Who had the ability to do so? Was it Zhou Yingxue's boss again?!
Originally, the Anjing House was the leader of this operation and should have taken the initiative. But the development of the situation was always unexpected.
Vanilla felt like he had a breath stuck in his chest and could not get it out no matter how hard he tried.
"But what does his death have to do with you making faces?" Si Liren asked.
"Oh, I wanted to see what his expression was like before he died." Li Shentan explained in a serious tone, "He looks exactly like me, so I can imagine how aggrieved and indignant he must have been before he died just by looking at myself. It's quite interesting when I think about it."
When the others heard Li Shentan say that, they did not know how to respond. As expected of a mental patient, his train of thought was really broad.
"Then what should we do next?" Vanilla asked.
"Here's what I'm thinking." Li Shentan said, "First of all, we'll use the Pyro Company members under my control to pave the way for us. If there's any danger, they'll be the first to die. After that, we'll secretly sing and dance from behind."
Everyone was stunned. "Why do we have to secretly sing and dance?"
"See, I told you that y 'all don't care about the lives of others at all. The Pyro Company members died just like that, yet y' all didn't even ask about them. Yet you call me a demon?" Li Shentan said unhappily, "I think y 'all are the demons!"
Vanilla roared in his head, 'We're asking you what we should do now. Why are you suddenly trying to clear your name?'
However, he did not dare to really roar out loud. Instead, he tried his best to calm himself down before asking again, "Let's be serious here. What are you planning to do now?"
"I'm going to …" Li Shentan glanced into the depths of the Sacred Mountains before waving his hand. "I'm going to look for my friends!"
