Chapter 227 Arriving at the Destination
This was exactly the same as the blue-uniformed employee seen in the monkey park, except that the black spots on the blue uniform's back had already spread and covered the entire back.
The Silver Yao County Princess had just appeared, and had not yet spread.
However, during the time that Zhang Yuanqing observed, the palm-sized mark quietly spread out, expanding to the size of two palms.
"What's wrong?" The Silver Yao County Princess raised her small horn alertly, "Your eyes look like you're looking at a terminally ill patient."
"You're not a terminally ill patient, but you're about to be finished." Palace Master Zhisha hinted, "Your back is black."
The Silver Yao County Princess was stunned at first, and then realized something, her head twisted behind her with a "click", and she looked down at her back.
She twisted her head back with a click, grabbed Zhang Yuanqing's sleeve, and a rapid voice came from the small horn:
"Quick, let Xue Qiangwei replace me."
The Princess is so cowardly! Zhang Yuanqing nodded with a solemn expression:
"I will, but I think both you and Xue Qiangwei can still be saved... Well, do you feel anything wrong yourself?"
The Silver Yao County Princess shook her head: "My body and soul are very normal."
"Just because you don't feel anything, doesn't mean nothing is wrong." Palace Master Zhisha circled around the Silver Yao County Princess, her red skirt trailing on the ground.
Strangely enough, she ran around the zoo in her skirt, but didn't get any stains on it.
This skirt seemed to have a dust-avoidance effect.
After Palace Master Zhisha turned around, she said:
"There should be some kind of pollution in the park. People who are polluted will turn black and become some kind of monster, like the black-clothed employee, like Wang Mingming.
"The fact that you don't feel anything abnormal is the biggest abnormality. Doesn't Wang Mingming also think he's very normal? The blue uniform I saw in the monkey park, he doesn't seem to think he's been polluted either."
Zhang Yuanqing's heart stirred, and he remembered Rule 8 of the employee handbook:
Please remember that pandas are soft and cute animals. If not, please shout your name loudly at your employee card.
"Silver Yao, your name, shout your name loudly." He shouted in a low voice.
This sentence seemed to trigger some kind of switch, and the Silver Yao County Princess's scarlet eyes suddenly became dull, and she murmured:
"My name, I, I can't remember..."
At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing noticed that the black mark on her back was spreading rapidly like ink, quickly occupying half of her spine.
Is the erosion accelerating? Zhang Yuanqing's heart sank, and pure, domineering light golden halos lit up in his palms, pressing against Silver Yao's back.
The spread of the "ink" was visibly suppressed.
The Silver Yao County Princess's red eyes were dull, and she murmured:
"My name, my name, I don't remember..."
Palace Master Zhisha's eyes showed illusory light, she walked to the Silver Yao County Princess, looked at her, and let the red eyes also light up with illusory light.
Hypnosis!
"You are the Silver Yao County Princess, you are the Silver Yao County Princess..."
Palace Master Zhisha repeated it over and over again, her voice gentle, with a reassuring power.
But it didn't work.
The Silver Yao County Princess muttered dreamily, without finding herself, and the ink on her back, after being briefly suppressed, began to frantically counterattack, with "sizzling" sounds constantly coming, and bursts of black smoke rising.
Zhang Yuanqing felt that his hands were like chicken feet inserted into a pot of hot oil, and the evil and turbid power was offsetting the power of the Sun God, trying to erode him in the opposite direction.
The level of the power of pollution was too high, and his half-baked power of the Sun God could not suppress it. Once the Silver Yao County Princess was completely "blackened", she would be finished.
"Hypnosis doesn't work?!" Zhang Yuanqing shouted while taking out the Evil-Breaking Talisman.
——There were not many Evil-Breaking Talismans left.
Palace Master Zhisha pondered for a moment, and said, "Hypnosis doesn't seem to work, or maybe, I didn't say her name correctly."
So Silver Yao is the Princess's title? She is actually a Princess with a title... Zhang Yuanqing activated the Evil-Breaking Talisman, temporarily suppressing the erosion of the ink.
But he was a little embarrassed, the Silver Yao County Princess had never revealed her name.
Who should I ask?
The Princess's name might be found in history. After all, she has a title. The erudite Xiahou Aotian and Li Chunfeng can definitely find it, but the zoo shields all information, and even the art of star gazing can be shielded by this rule-based item.
Even if a Beidou satellite phone comes, it won't work.
"She is a Ming Dynasty Princess, surnamed Zhu!" Zhang Yuanqing looked at Palace Master Zhisha.
He didn't know the full name, but he could call out the surname. If there was really no other way, he could only try it.
If he still couldn't awaken the Silver Yao County Princess, he could only sacrifice Xue Qiangwei.
Palace Master Zhisha was intelligent and immediately understood his meaning, she changed her words: "You are the Silver Yao County Princess, your surname is Zhu..."
The Musician's voice had a powerful magic, and combined with the ability of hypnosis, even a stone could be awakened.
The Silver Yao County Princess's empty and dull eyes bloomed with a bit of spiritual light, which was fleeting.
"You are the Silver Yao County Princess, your surname is Zhu..."
In the repeated repetition, the spiritual light in her empty eyes continued to bloom, becoming stronger and stronger.
"I, I am... Zhu Huiyao." The spiritual light in the Silver Yao County Princess's eyes suddenly bloomed, her scarlet eyes were like two small light bulbs, she held up the small horn, like a hot-blooded manga protagonist burning her small universe:
"I am Zhu Huiyao!"
Zhang Yuanqing saw the black spots on her back "sizzle", turning into large streams of black gas, dissipating into the night sky.
Your parents are really geniuses at naming, her formal name is Zhu Huiyao, and her title is Yin Yao... Zhang Yuanqing smiled with relief:
"Zhu Huiyao, don't shout so loudly, you will attract the staff."
The Silver Yao County Princess's body stiffened, she suddenly turned around and put the small horn to Zhang Yuanqing's ear, correcting:
"Zhu Huiyao, Zhu Huiyao, it's Zhu Huiyao!"
Palace Master Zhisha next to her frowned deeply, and said in an extremely cold tone:
"Are you two flirting?"
The Silver Yao County Princess was very afraid of her and immediately stopped talking.
Palace Master Zhisha snorted coldly, and looked around vigilantly. They were between the "Panda Garden" and the next park area, surrounded by large areas of green plants, and under their feet was a small path paved with stone slabs. There were also two public benches by the road.
She retracted her gaze and said in a serious tone:
"Something is wrong. The dangers we have encountered are too frequent. If this is the norm, the park would have been in chaos long ago. The administrators would have to constantly replenish new staff and constantly extinguish those blackened employees.
"But in fact, this item has been very stable in Songhai for more than 20 years."
Along the way, almost no park area was safe. They encountered rule combinations at the beginning, and then encountered crises and were polluted in the monkey park and panda garden.
Zhang Yuanqing had already noticed this detail. He frowned and pondered for a moment, and tentatively said:
"Is it possible that the problem is with us?"
Palace Master Zhisha's eyes darkened and she nodded slightly: "That's what I mean. We are being targeted, maybe by the Item Spirit, maybe by something else."
"The Item Spirit is targeting us, deliberately making the anomalies in the park extremely active, so that we are always in danger?" Zhang Yuanqing fell into thought.
At this time, the Silver Yao County Princess raised her small horn:
"I have a different opinion."
Zhang Yuanqing and Palace Master Zhisha looked at her at the same time.
The Silver Yao County Princess's mature and charming voice suddenly became low:
"I have experienced the power of pollution, I have the right to speak."
"Speak." Zhang Yuanqing and the Palace Master said in unison.
The Silver Yao County Princess worded her words: "Do you remember the rules of the monkey park?"
Zhang Yuanqing answered, "The monkeys in the park don't speak."
The Silver Yao County Princess nodded while holding the small horn:
"Just now, Yuan Shi Tianzun almost turned into a monkey. Such a dangerous crisis, but no solution was given. The existence of the employee handbook is to allow employees to work diligently and fight against the strange, not to send partners to the strange, so why not write out the solution?"
Without waiting for Zhang Yuanqing and Palace Master Zhisha to answer, she continued:
"There is only one possibility, the power of pollution is slow, affecting the body and mind imperceptibly, but it will not directly kill. The blue-clothed employees will be unknowingly polluted during patrol, but as long as they are discovered and dealt with in time, there will be no problem.
"Only a very few employees make mistakes during patrol and do not perform their work according to the employee handbook, which will deepen the pollution and transform into black-clothed employees.
"But we just entered here, obviously we have never been polluted, why did we skip the 'accumulation' stage and directly explode with pollution?"
Whether it was the heteromorphism of Yuan Shi Tianzun, or her blackening, it was fatal.
This was obviously an outbreak after the pollution reached its limit, which was very unreasonable.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing finally made a judgment: "Unless we have already been unconsciously polluted."
After speaking, the three fell silent and reviewed all the details after entering the zoo. When were they polluted?
Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts were not pure enough, and he only thought for less than ten seconds before giving up digging into the bottom of the matter. His main mission was to save the Devil's Eye, and he was under the greatest pressure, so he couldn't think single-mindedly.
"Don't think about it."
Just as he wanted to say don't think about it, saving the Devil's Eye is important, he saw the beautiful eyes under Palace Master Zhisha's mask burst into brilliance:
"We ignored a detail.
"There is a problem with Wang Mingming's notes. The door of the dormitory was locked, and Wang Mingming couldn't go back to his dormitory, so he went to knock on the windows of other dormitories, and the employees in the dormitory died one by one.
"But in the notes we saw, it was clearly recorded that someone went missing every night. Isn't this a contradiction?"
Zhang Yuanqing felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't enter the dormitory, so he "killed people". Then the notebook shouldn't record who wrote the missing notes?
Damn it, I thought the dormitory plot was over, but I didn't expect it to be waiting for me here?
Zhang Yuanqing looked at his two female companions. They were also looking at Zhang Yuanqing.
In the silent silence, Zhang Yuanqing, as the core, said:
"This may be a curse, a very high-level curse, but I should be fine now. Palace Master hasn't encountered any misfortune yet, it should be because your level is high enough to resist the erosion of the curse, as for the County Princess..."
He didn't dare to say that the Silver Yao County Princess had eliminated hidden dangers, even though she had just accepted the baptism of the Evil-Breaking Talisman.
After all, the curse could affect himself, who possessed the power of the Sun God, which meant that the Evil-Breaking Talisman couldn't handle it, unless the Night Wanderer took action.
"Why do I feel weaker after my cultivation level has improved!" The Silver Yao County Princess complained to her master.
I will try not to get involved in the struggles at the Dominator level in the future, Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart, "There is not much time left, let's continue moving forward."
The team ran along the winding viewing path. Two or three minutes later, an artificial lake appeared in front of them.
The water surface was dark and calm, with a thin layer of fog. In the center of the lake grew a thick camphor tree, with lush branches and leaves like a canopy, and vines hanging down like curtains.
Between the dense vines, there was vaguely a human silhouette with its head hanging down.
Devil's Eye Heavenly King!
Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed. Just as he was about to rush to the lakeside, he ran out of the bushes. In the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a strong and mighty white lion lying on the shore.
A sharp brake!
"Hide, hide..."
He led the Palace Master and the Silver Yao County Princess back into the bushes.
The two people and one corpse carefully poked their heads out and looked at the extraordinary white lion.
It lay lazily on the shore, squinting its eyes, as if dozing off. The tail that swayed from time to time indicated that it was not asleep.
"What is the level of the white lion?" Palace Master Zhisha looked at Zhang Yuanqing. If it was only level 7, then she would force kill it.
"I'm not sure. I've never seen it take action. At first, I thought it was the guardian of the periphery, but after reading the employee handbook, if nothing else, this white lion should be the strongest in the park. I even suspect that Elder Dog may not be able to beat it." Zhang Yuanqing lowered his voice.
Palace Master Zhisha was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "If that's the case, then we can only lure it away."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded and suddenly said:
"Musicians are good at spreading sound. Is there any way to communicate with the Devil's Eye without disturbing the white lion? Such as ultrasound or infrasound waves. This guy has been trapped in the park for months, and he definitely knows more than us."
"The white lion can't hear the sound, and the Devil's Eye must not be able to hear it either." The Palace Master rejected his whimsical idea, tilted her head and thought for a while, and said:
"But there is indeed a way to contact the Devil's Eye without being discovered by the white lion."
