Chapter 212: Setting up the Formation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
What Bai Lin was doing now was much easier than before.
She was going to set up a formation!
The magic array in the notebook involved the five elements, but it was only made by the production team and did not have any real supernatural power. The production team had simply put some elements together to form the picture of a formation.
After all, if the formation was too realistic, it would inevitably be disrespectful to the G.o.ds and might even attract curses.
However, Bai Lin was a serious person when it came to games.
The original intention of the production team was to let the guests draw as they wished as long as they completed the task according to the instructions.
Bai Lin, on the other hand, was very concerned about the five directions pointed out by the formation. Her intuition told her that there was more to it that met the eye.
Bai Lin had already memorized the map of the village. Her spatial imagination was excellent, and the map was almost three-dimensional in her mind. She soon found that the houses in four directions had a small, wattled courtyard, and only the house in the direction of “fire” did not have a wattled courtyard. That was also the house she had first searched.
“Kids, do you still remember the first friend we met here?”
Although Bai Lin was running, her voice did not tremble at all. Her tone was unusually calm. “Let’s go find him again.”
She talked to the countless comments on the other side of the drone.
[She called me a kid! I love her so much!]
[First friend? Don’t tell me it’s the one from the stove?] [No way! Is Lin-jie doing it again? I don’t dare to watch anymore.]
[But Lin-jie is so gentle. Hehe, I want to marry her!]
[You up there, be careful not to get beaten up by people hired by Best Actor
Yan and Zhou Guang.]
Bai Lin realized that something was wrong, so she decided to investigate again.
The old man’s body was not stuffed deep into the stove, so it was easy for the camera to capture him. It was also easy to take him out for investigation. However, the other bodies were buried more tightly in the stove and Bai Lin’s intuition told her that this was intentional.
Bai Lin was traveling at full speed and arrived at her destination in two to three minutes.
“My timid friends, don’t watch first.”
Bai Lin said to the camera with a smile as she reached into the stove and pulled out the corpse.
It was still the same as the first time she saw it—pale, twisted, and full of maggots and eggs.
Bai Lin took a closer look and determined that there were no useful clues on the body. She put her hand into the stove again and actually found something.
It was a shriveled eyeball!
However, it was definitely not a human’s eyeball because the iris of the eyeball was an abnormal yellow-green color, more like a cat’s.
Bai Lin thought of the monster’s poor vision despite having many eyes and had a guess.
However, this was not an important clue that had much to do with the main mission. Bai Lin wiped the eyeball clean and put it in her pocket. Before she got up and left, she did not forget to put the body back into the stove.
“Alright, kids, you can open your eyes now.”
Bai Lin went back to the village chiefs house with the eyeball. Along the way, she talked to the drone about her discovery, but she did not mention it again when she returned to the crowd.
The monster had already lost its patience. Coupled with the dull pain from its wound, it no longer paid attention to Li Xuan’s flashlight. Instead, it stared at Yan Ruo’s action of scooping the soup.
Bai Lin took a look. She had only left for five minutes, but Yan Ruo had already filled eight bowls with soup. He even placed them neatly on the stove and was filling up the ninth bowl.
[Best Actor Yan’s really serious about completing the task given by Lin-jie.]
[After all, it’s the wife’s order. He has to do it well!]
[Your idol is being ordered around like an errand boy and you’re laughing? Bai Lin only knows how to get people to work, unlike Youyou, who always wants to help!]
[I’m dying of laughter. What exactly did Zheng You do to help? Thinking about it but not doing anything kind of help?]
“You didn’t tell me how much to scoop out. I don’t really know how to do these.”
Bai Lin looked at Yan Ruo’s well-defined and fair hands. Those were really a pair of hands that had barely worked. She suddenly felt that it was already very good for a person who had not been used to working to do so much. A trace of pity rose in her heart.
“Alright, you did very well.”
Bai Lin asked everyone to stay away from her and put her finger into the bowl to test the temperature.
The monster did not eat it before probably because it was a black cat, and cats
did not eat food that was too hot.
She herself also stepped back while acting respectfully, imitating the way the villagers would “give offerings” to the black cat.
As expected, the black cat fell for it and started to eat.
Bai Lin stuck a machete into the ground and used the other machete as a pen. She drew a bigger and deeper formation on the ground.
Although the size was much bigger than the one she had shown Li Xuan before, she still finished drawing very quickly. She even carefully confirmed the direction the pentagon was pointing in, and it was exactly the same as the one in the notebook..
