“How so?” Du Moyu felt like he’d really struck gold, his eyes shining. He suddenly had the feeling that following this man, he might actually have a chance to survive.

Jiang Cheng cleared his throat and comfortably narrowed his eyes. “Even if he wants to guess, he needs options. I dirtied the bottoms of all the remaining paper figures. There are over a dozen female paper figures hanging there, let him guess slowly.”

“One out of a dozen…” Du Moyu’s face lit up with excitement. “Thrilling!”

Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes, genuinely happy for Zhou Qing.

But soon, Du Moyu’s mood changed slightly, and his voice lowered. “Crap!” Du Moyu suddenly looked at Jiang Cheng, as if he’d just realized something. “Did you get the fire starter back?”

“No,” Jiang Cheng replied truthfully.

“There’s a saying that only fire with roots can reveal evil spirits. The candle you took belongs to this category, but… but a fire starter also belongs to fire with roots!” Du Moyu couldn’t help but sigh. “If he uses the fire starter, he might be able to break the situation.”

Du Moyu didn’t blame Jiang Cheng at all. After all, he was grateful that the latter had thought of him, and Jiang Cheng had indeed done a lot for him.

But some things he had to face himself, and he couldn’t avoid them.

Just as Du Moyu was about to ask Jiang Cheng to help his remaining two teammates as much as possible, Jiang Cheng stroked his chin and nodded. “Oh, so you’re worried about that. Don’t worry.”

“Hmm?” Du Moyu felt like there was hope.

“It’s like this, I deliberately left the fire starter for Brother Zhou Qing,” Jiang Cheng said calmly. “I was worried he’d be too lucky and actually pick the safe paper figure out of the dozen or so.”

Du Moyu’s expression became even more confused. Seeing this, Jiang Cheng took something out of his pocket and placed it on the table. Du Moyu looked closely and found it was a rhinoceros horn.

It was the one the night watchman had given him last night. Du Moyu saw it very clearly.

“Rhinoceros horn…” Du Moyu seemed to understand a little, but not completely.

“That…” Jiang Cheng scratched his head a little embarrassed, leaned closer to the suspicious-looking Du Moyu, and whispered a few words in his ear, then paused and said a few more.

Du Moyu’s expression changed dramatically, his face twitching. Just as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Du Moyu slammed the table and stood up. “Damn, you ground up the rhinoceros horn and mixed it into the fire starter?!”

Jiang Cheng seemed startled, his throat bobbing as he looked around, dissatisfied. “Keep your voice down, what are you getting so excited about?”

Originally, Jiang Cheng had some other ingenious little surprises, all of which he had left for Brother Zhou Qing, but seeing Du Moyu’s reaction was so strong, he decided not to stimulate him anymore.

Du Moyu’s gaze towards Jiang Cheng completely changed. How could Zhou Qing have any chance of survival? He had been completely set up by this man.

He could probably imagine that after Zhou Qing realized that all the paper figures’ feet were dirty, he would immediately realize that someone had tampered with them. It wouldn’t be anyone else, it would be Jiang Cheng, the person before him!

Then he would go find the lantern, because that was the only way to reveal ghosts. Zhang Junyu and A Biao, who went before him, would definitely tell him this experience. But after discovering that the candle inside the lantern had been broken, the fire starter was the only way to survive!

Du Moyu could even foresee that when Zhou Qing found the fire starter, he would probably be secretly rejoicing in his heart, thinking that Jiang Cheng’s plan was flawed, and he was ultimately the better strategist!

Then he would happily open the fire starter and shine it on the hanging female paper figures.

Du Moyu felt his whole body tremble just thinking about this scene.

Lighting a ghost-attracting rhinoceros horn in a room full of paper figures, haha, that scene would be too beautiful.

Du Moyu swallowed hard, his eyes secretly glancing at the absent-minded Jiang Cheng, knowing that he had encountered a ruthless character. He had already made up his mind that after seeing Zhang Hao and Lei Mingyu, he must persuade them to cooperate sincerely and never try to outsmart Jiang Cheng behind his back.

This person’s treachery and cunning were rare in the world. He and his friends were completely on a different level.

What was even more terrifying was that Jiang Cheng had secretly hinted to him that the fatty in his group was even more powerful than him!

What kind of divine game was this!

“What are you thinking about?” Jiang Cheng took a small sip of tea and asked casually.

“Nothing!” Du Moyu stood up and politely picked up the teapot to refill Jiang Cheng’s teacup. “Brother Jiang, thank you so much this time, thank you, I’m really very grateful.”

“I can see that Zhou Qing is definitely dead. I probably won’t be able to go later either.” Du Moyu nodded sincerely. “I’ll keep watch tonight, so you can sleep soundly.”

Jiang Cheng rubbed his cup and smiled playfully. “Can I trust you?”

“Yes, Mr. Jiang, you saved my life. I still understand the principle of repaying kindness, and you are very powerful, very powerful. We need you as an ally, and of course, your friend. We need to deal with Yu Chengmu and his group together.”

Now Du Moyu understood why Yu Chengmu and Jia Jinliang were paying more attention to Jiang Cheng and his friend than to his group of four. They had good eyes. Judging from A Biao’s methods alone, this group was also very skilled.

Not to mention Yu Chengmu, who had taken full advantage in this mission.

“Alright.” Jiang Cheng stood up, stretched, and his bones crackled. “Now that you mention it, I’m actually a little tired, so I’ll go to sleep for a while. When you’re tired, come and switch with me.”

After speaking, Jiang Cheng walked towards the bed. The bed here was very hard, but for Jiang Cheng, who was used to mattresses, it was acceptable.

“With me on guard, you can rest assured.” Du Moyu adopted a very humble posture.

Jiang Cheng lay down with his back to Du Moyu, covered himself with the quilt, and slightly closed his eyes. His ears were constantly paying attention to the movement behind him. He didn’t know whether Du Moyu was reliable or not, but in any case, he wasn’t Fatty.

…

About half an hour ago, after listening to Zhang Junyu and A Biao’s narration, Zhou Qing felt that he had this in the bag.

Hearing the clapper sound, the three people who were drinking tea instead of wine were stunned at the same time.

Although they couldn’t figure out why, and they weren’t sure whether Jiang Cheng was dead or alive, since the clapper sounded, they had to go. Zhou Qing set off with doubts.

But the more he walked, the more unsure he felt. He walked all the way to the gate of the paper craftsman’s house, but he didn’t see Jiang Cheng’s shadow.

“Where is he?!”

Zhou Qing panicked all of a sudden. Was he dead or not? If he wasn’t dead, he should make a sound.

But time waits for no one. The most important thing in this mission was time. After patrolling around the gate and finding that there was indeed no sign of Jiang Cheng, Zhou Qing bit the bullet and walked into the gate of the house.

Like his first two teammates, Zhou Qing first patrolled the house, but this time the target was no longer the missing woman, but Jiang Cheng.

In the end, Zhou Qing frowned and wandered to the room where the paper figures were stored. He was thinking about the problem, and his energy was not fully focused, but he just glanced at it casually. The next second, Zhou Qing was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, a chill ran from his feet to his head, almost blowing his skull open.

Outside the room where the paper figures were stored, four female paper figures were placed side by side.

The fingernails of the female paper figures were tinged with an eerie blood red, but this was not the most terrifying thing. What was truly terrifying was that all four female paper figures had no heads.

“Where are the heads, damn it!!”
