Star Trace Gate

Chapter 614 Meeting Pan Lianrong

The old lady’s worldview was shattered and she left cursing.

Ren Ye and the other four no longer knew what shame was. They just put on their clothes in a hurry and continued to observe the phantom of the ancient mirror cast by Tan Pang.

"Little earthworm, please start your performance." Xiao Shuai made a gesture of invitation.

Fatty Tan rolled his eyes at him, raised his hands upward, slowly enlarged the shadow and said, "My speculation is divided into two parts. First, you see the explosion environment at the place where Brother Hong died. The corpses were all blown into pieces of meat, and not a single one was intact. How could that thing have such great power? How could it form such a terrifying magical fluctuation from the center?"

After a moment of thought, Ren Ye said, "You mean a high-grade thunder talisman?!"

"Yes. Brother Hong is a third-grade supernatural being with good combat power. It must be very difficult to blow his body to pieces." Fatty Tan nodded slightly, looked at Yinhu with a serious face, and said softly: "Comrade Shabao was besieged by the bald man that day, and everyone helped him. The old cadre used the magic at that time, which was to cause the clouds in all directions to move and the thunder from the sky. Therefore, it is not surprising that he has a high-grade thunder talisman in his hand. After all, those who can enter this star gate must have some skills and hold high-level magic weapons related to inheritance in their hands. This is very reasonable. Yinhu, you are cultivating the power of wind and thunder. According to your judgment, is there anything wrong with my speculation?"

Yin Hu was silent for a while: "If a fourth-grade rare thunder talisman was downgraded after entering this place and used as a super-grade talisman magic weapon, then it would have this power. But there is one thing, it takes a lot of star source power to activate the thunder talisman. There are signs of this, so why can't Brother Hong react? How did the old cadre get close to him?"

"Heavenly Work Value and Corpse Burning."

Fatty Tan immediately replied, "After we entered the Tiangong Building, the Heavenly Dao rules had clearly reminded us that the lower the Heavenly Work value, the greater the danger the player will encounter, and the more likely it is to cause a siege by burning corpses. Yinhu and I can testify to each other that when we followed Pan Lianrong, we both completed the mission excellently, and our personal Heavenly Work values ​​also increased. Therefore, our Heavenly Work values ​​are definitely not low, and you and Xiaoshuai should be able to testify to each other. But... who knows the Heavenly Work value of the old cadres?"

"This Tiangong value is set to increase or decrease continuously. To put it bluntly, it is controllable. In a task that is very important to me, if I deliberately make two mistakes, the Tiangong value will decrease by a fixed amount." He continued, "If the old cadre deliberately controls the value and deliberately reduces it, he can indirectly control the burning of corpses."

"That makes sense." Xiao Shuai nodded slightly.

"So, my final guess is this." Fatty Tan said with a serious expression: "After the carnival night started, the old cadre pretended to be separated from Brother Hong, and then eavesdropped on everyone's conversation in the intercom channel. In this way, he could track Brother Hong's location at any time and clearly know everyone's movements."

"When the sandbags went underground to refine the Heavenly Crafts Fire, the old cadre made his first move. I guess he used something with his own scent to lead the burning corpse to the sandbags' side. The Star Gate rules also clearly stated that players with very low Heavenly Crafts values ​​could cause a riot even if they took out a personal item. So, he didn't need to show up to put the sandbags in danger."

"However, this did not work. After being attacked, Sandbag must have used some special means to defend himself, which resulted in the incineration of corpses being unable to kill him in a short period of time." Fatty Tan looked at Ren Ye and asked, "Am I right?"

Ren Ye was still a little surprised, thinking to himself, "This little earthworm is really something. He even pushed my wife and Night Wanderer out when they were protecting me."

Fat Tan looked at Ren Ye's acquiescent look, and nodded with a slightly reserved and complacent expression, and continued: "The old cadre found that Sandbag was difficult to kill, and he must have a good way to save his life, so he set his target on Brother Hong again, or in other words, he had a backup option from the very beginning. He attached his precious thunder talisman to the back of the burning corpse in Brother Hong's area, and then left quickly. The burning corpse sensed the smell of Brother Hong and the thunder talisman, and began to go crazy, but the priority of living people must be higher than that of dead things, so it participated in the attack on Brother Hong. At this time, the old cadre took the opportunity to go downstairs, appeared in the posture of rescuing Sandbag, and proved his alibi."

"After the sandbag had refined the Heavenly Fire, he secretly sensed the thunder symbol on the back of the Burning Corpse and suddenly activated it." Fatty Tan narrated clearly: "The fluctuation of the thunder symbol attracted Brother Hong's attention, so he shouted in the final stage... "There's something wrong with this Burning Corpse", but the two sides were too close at this time, and there were Burning Corpses everywhere blocking the way, so Brother Hong couldn't escape at all, and suddenly died in the explosion."

"The details, logic, and advice are all correct."

Xiao Shuai thought about it carefully: "The captain who took off his clothes is still very strong."

"I told you, I'm very smart." Fat Tan replied smoothly.

Yinhu thought about things slowly but seriously. He looked at Tan Pang and suddenly asked, "Then how did the old cadre take away Brother Hong's belongings in the end?"

"Telekinesis, leaving a mustard seed space item in advance, and taking the gold coins and the autobiography book into your pocket, this is so easy to do." Fatty Tan replied softly: "I have a magic weapon in my hand that looks like a stone, but is actually a safe house."

"It's not difficult." Yinhu nodded slightly.

Beside him, Ren Ye frowned in thought, saying nothing.

Fat Tan gave off an expression that said, "Why don't you praise me?" But Ren didn't respond. "Why don't you say anything? What's wrong with my guess?"

"Everything is correct." Ren Ye said faintly, "Thunder talismans, props stained with personal scent, telekinesis and induction, and the mustard seed space magic weapon you mentioned at the end, these are all fine, and the details can also echo the rules of heaven."

"Then why do you look like you can't compare to Prince Zhibao?" Fat Tan asked with a squint.

Ren Ye looked at him: "I think it's too extreme."

"Brother, what is the extreme method?" Xiao Shuai asked.

"The details all match up, and the logic is coherent, but the process is very extreme and not smooth." Ren Ye looked at the three people and gave an objective evaluation: "To put it simply, if I were a traitor, I would never take action without absolute certainty. After all, I only have one life, but there are five opponents. Putting the thunder talisman on the corpse, and then using him to get close to Brother Hong... There are too many accidental events that may happen in the middle. What if the corpse is affected by the smell and goes crazy on the spot and loses his mind? You are not at the scene anymore, can you go back and put it again? What if Brother Hong reacts faster and has stronger personal abilities, and is not killed in the explosion, what will you do? What if the old cadre is delayed on the road and takes a little longer to get underground, and I have refined the Tiangong Fire in advance, and he can't prove his absence, what will you do?"

After hearing Ren Ye's three soul-searching questions, everyone fell silent again.

"Brother, although you can't beat Ah Hu, what you said makes sense." Xiao Shuai agreed: "It does have some limits."

"I don't want to show off to you. This is just a trivial racial talent." Brother Tiger emphasized first, and then commented: "This process is indeed prone to accidents."

Fatty Tan pondered for a while and said, "That is, the old cadre may have some special props on him. We don't know what the mysterious magic is. I may be a little naive in the process of speculation. After all, there are not many clues now. I am just guessing. But 80% of the details and logic are perfectly valid when applied to him."

"That's a bit more reliable." Ren Ye agreed this time: "He has a secret, that's for sure."

"Anyway, that's what I said. The old cadre is very suspicious." Fatty Tan thought for a moment, turned his head and looked at Ren Ye and said, "I think your method of testing the traitor just now is very clever. As long as we see him, the four of us will gather together and take off his pants."

"What if we don't find any gold coins after digging?" Ren Ye asked in return.

Fatty Tan said word by word, "Then keep an eye on him secretly. Even if he hides the gold coins, he will take them sooner or later. The entire accumulation of a player, this temptation no one can give up...!"

"This method is reliable." Yinhu agreed.

"Then let's do it."

After studying for a long time, the four people finally determined the old cadre's identity as a suspect and came up with a way to deal with it.

After Fatty Tan collected the ancient mirror, he immediately said to Ren Ye, "Pan Lianrong asked you to go to the teahouse to discuss."

"Is it reliable?" Ren Ye asked.

"Reliable? Ha." Fatty Tan smiled with a vengeful heart: "I secretly spread rumors to my sister! I said that you are all Shabi and can't be trusted. When you enter the teahouse, you will be shot by 800 supernatural powers!"

"It's Brother Tanhu's. He looks so hateful to men." Ren Ye replied with gritted teeth.

……

Not long after.

Ren Ye and the other three entered the teahouse together, ready to discuss a win-win plan with Pan Lianrong that would allow her to live and allow Shabao and Yinhu to return to report.

On the second floor of the teahouse, the four people walked through a dark corridor and entered a private room.

The private room was filled with the aroma of tea and smoke.

Pan Lianrong was wearing an emerald green skirt and had her hair in a bun. She looked at Ren Ye and Yin Hu with her bright eyes and white teeth.

"Your subordinate greets Commander Pan!"

Ren also clasped his fists slightly.

"...Song Mingzhe asked you to kill me, why did you collaborate with the enemy?" Pan Lianrong asked calmly.

Ren Ye heard this and immediately replied solemnly, "Killing people and extracting their souls, using the bodies of livestock to imprison the three souls and six spirits of the victims, this is not what I think is justice. The Craftsman House is full of corruption, the strong are selfish, and have no faith in their hearts... This kind of organization cannot make me willingly sacrifice my life and fight for it. In this era where good is not good and evil is not evil, it is more practical to seek some benefits for myself."

When Pan Lianrong heard this, she was shocked. "Well said! Others flatter me and only praise me, but you speak from the heart and have reasons and evidence... It's convincing."

"There is nothing shameful about seeking profit."

"Someone come here, there is a reward." Pan Lianrong said.

As soon as he finished speaking, several people with magical powers walked out of the small room on the left, carrying two large boxes and placed them in front of Ren Ye and Yin Hu.

"Snapped!"

The box popped open, and it was filled with star sources.

When Xiao Shuai saw this scene, he cursed in his heart: "You bitch! I've worked hard for you and I haven't gotten any money so far. This new guy just said a few words and you're going to give it to me?!"
