Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 581 "Night Talk" Temptation

Thomson originally trusted his memory and original ideas.

But looking at the confident look on Zhao Yi's face, he felt a little unsure.

"Why do you say that?"

Zhao Yi explained:

"Thomson, have you carefully observed the room we were in just now?"

Thomson thought carefully for a moment.

"this……"

Zhao Yi slowly said:

"Let's start with the existing clues—"

"The first is the altar."

"You said that wild beasts knocked over the tributes. Yes, such a situation does exist. And I also believe that many wild beasts must have visited here in the past few years when no one was there."

"But Thomson, don't forget that wild beasts will eat tributes, but they will not attack the altar."

Thomson's eyes widened slightly.

Zhao Yi continued:

"If you think about that altar carefully, are the signs of damage on it really due to the weathering of time?"

"Compared with corrosion, is it more likely that a blunt object and a sharp object will hit each other to cause such scars?"

Under Zhao Yi's guidance, Thomson began to rehearse such a situation in his mind, and then compared it with the ferocious traces on the altar...

"yes……"

He fell into a trance.

"That's it..."

"The corruption of time simply cannot cause such scars."

"And wild beasts will not take the initiative to attack a dead object like an altar table."

The altar table is not high, and a beast that has the ability to destroy a solid wood altar table into this shape can also easily jump onto the altar table.

They have no reason to attack the altar.

So, where did the hideous scars on the altar come from?

"Second..."

As soon as Zhao saw Thomson gradually getting into the act, he knew that he had found the right breakthrough point, so he continued:

"The murals on the walls also show signs of being torn apart by violence."

"If the destruction of the altar may have been caused by a deadly fight between two huge beasts, then why were such high murals torn apart?"

"All the details indicate that the thing that was destroyed in this room... was not some invading beast from outside."

"and……"

Zhao Yi said, suddenly paused, as if he was trying to show off.

But Thomson couldn't help it, his face was very anxious.

"And what?"

Zhao Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and in Thomson's eyes, his expression even had a certain coldness.

"Furthermore, I suspect that the living creatures that have entered this gym...none of them managed to leave here alive in the end."

"Except...you."

Thomson swallowed.

That sharp memory brought him back to a long time ago, when he came to visit the unknown Taoist priest alone.

There were howling wolves and tigers roaring in the mountains, and there were also the sounds of many wild beasts.

But then there was heavy rain and strong winds, and he was trapped in the gym for several days, but he was not harassed by any beasts.

This is too weird!

Don't those beasts know that there is such a big place to take shelter from the rain?

Why don't they come in?

At that time, I was so hungry that I wanted to catch a mouse, a snake, or even some poisonous insects...

But there was nothing in the gym.

Now that I think about it...it's really weird and scary!

Lost for a brief moment, Thomson couldn't help but trembled:

"Even if there is really an extra person hiding in the gym secretly, it doesn't mean that person is the Taoist master!"

"After all, the Taoist Priest has an apprentice, right?"

Zhao Yi asked back:

"Then why don't you think about it, the old Taoist priest who never likes to interact with others, who only wants to ascend, has to accept a disciple in the human world?"

There was no clear story in his words.

But there are hints everywhere.

Under Zhao Yi's guidance, Thomson had begun to complete a strange story in his mind.

Even with the memory of visiting an unknown Taoist priest, Thomson is no longer able to distinguish memory from reality.

He began to unconsciously forget that he was the master of this world, and he was the one who wrote...

It's more windy and rainy outside.

Every raindrop smashed on the window sill and made a tragic scream.

Thomson was caught up in the memories of the past. Suddenly he grabbed Zhao Yi's hand with an ugly expression and walked towards the room where the scroll was previously enshrined.

"No...we have to go back and take a look!"

The two returned to the previous room.

It was extremely dark inside and nothing could be seen clearly.

The brazier that was supposed to be burning all the time was knocked over by someone.

Zhao Yi took out the wooden stick and moved it to the ground to take a look.

"Someone not only knocked over the brazier, but also poured a basin of water on the ground."

Thomson turned pale:

"They...what did they do when they knocked over the brazier?"

Zhao Yi said calmly:

"Of course it won't be those of us traveling with you."

"We need braziers for warmth and light, and for roasting our clothes."

"Only someone who doesn't need a brazier for warmth and lighting would knock over a brazier."

He stared at the water stains on the ground and murmured:

"Who doesn't need a brazier for warmth and lighting..."

Zhao Yi slowly approached Thomson's ear and laughed softly:

"Of course...dead people."

Thomson shuddered violently.

"You...don't talk nonsense!"

"Are there any dead people here?"

Zhao Yi looked at Thomson calmly, with a strange light flashing in his eyes:

"Don't lie to yourself, Thomson."

"You know... the person who went to the toilet will not come back."

"We finally waited for fresh flesh and blood, it will not let us go alive easily."

Thomson's eyes were full of bloodshot, and he suddenly grabbed Zhao Yi's collar, and his mental state seemed unstable:

"He is not dead... I won't let him die!"

"There is no Taoist priest here at all!"

"He has ascended!"

Zhao Yi held Thomson's hands with both hands, giving him a little rare warmth.

"Thomson... do you know what the biggest difference between reality and horror stories is?"

Thomson panted:

"What is it?"

Zhao Yi:

"In reality, that kind of thing... will not exist or disappear because of your will."

"Before we came back, I saw a strange black shadow coming out of the door of the room and heading upstairs..."

"It has smelled the meat and will not stop easily..."

"Now, you need to recall what you did the last time you were trapped in this place..."

Sweat slowly seeped from Thomson's forehead.

In the darkness, it was almost invisible.

But he could feel it clearly.

"Why..."

He loosened his hand that was holding Zhao Yi's collar. The invasion of fear made Thomson's already paranoid obsession even more unable to think calmly.

Zhao kept looking into his eyes and said:

"Because the last time you were able to leave alive, it must be because you did something that prevented it from hurting you."

"This time, if we still want to leave alive, we must know what its weakness is!"
