After Jiang Bai entered the trial on the first floor, he knew the true identity of the store owner. "Your idea is very good and your execution is very thorough without revealing too many flaws. It's a pity..." As for what was a pity, Jiang Bai did not say anything. He can't say, 'It's a pity that I'm sick', right? Time was limited, Jiang Bai did not sell out. "Whether it's a desperate situation, a secret tomb, a burial place... No matter how the names of these places change, the core is the same, which is the confrontation between humans and ghosts." Jiang Bai pointed to the outside of the hot pot restaurant and said, "White light is an unstoppable attack, but it is not a ghost. These attacks came from mirrors in history, and they also come from mirrors today, so I need to think about another question: Where are the ghosts on the first floor?" Originally, Jiang Bai had no clue. At the end of the last time, Jiang Bai was given a reminder. After the shop owner was melted by the white light, the white light disappeared immediately and Jiang Bai passed the trial.
With this information, Jiang Bai immediately came to a conclusion, "You are the ghost on this floor. You should have taken action against me. The real content of the trial is to survive your attack for five minutes and then let Bai Mang kill you first. Even if it succeeds, I'm right. ?" "awesome." The shop owner took a puff of cigarette and was convinced. "As expected of the puppet master Jiang Bai." He has no ill intentions towards Jiang Bai and has no intention of taking action. Once the white light comes, he will die. By then, 17 people will survive and Jiang Bai can successfully pass the level. The shop owner spoke again, "If you have any questions, please ask now. It's more convenient to talk here." Looking at the countdown on the wall, Jiang Bai asked his first question, "Why is the Puppet Master wanted?" "you do not know?" The shop owner frowned, a little confused, but still answered Jiang Bai, "To put it simply, as Nightingale said, the puppet master was wronged. I will tell you the specific details after we get them out." This matter is not widely involved, and it can be said outside. "good." Jiang Bai asked the second question, "Can you see the two red numbers on the wall?" The shop owner nodded, "I can see it." "What does this number mean?"
Although Jiang Bai had some guesses about these two figures, he wanted to hear the store owner's opinion. "One number is a countdown. For you, the other number is the number of people you want to save. For me, it is the number of people I want to kill." According to the store owner, if Jiang Bai can save the number of people on the wall, it will be considered a success. "17 people..." Jiang Bai suddenly spoke and expressed a bold idea, "What will happen if everyone in the hot pot restaurant survives Bai Mang's attack?" "It can't be done." The shop owner shook his head and said seriously, "To be honest, what I'm most worried about is that this time the number on the wall changes to 18, which means you will definitely die... Now the number is 17. As long as I am the first to die when the white light comes, you will be fine. Survive.” Seeing that Jiang Bai was indifferent, the shop owner continued to persuade, "You have seen the power of that attack. Even if a dragon-level powerhouse comes, it will be useless. Trying to save everyone will only kill everyone. Let's be more realistic. I have already died once. I should have died with her..." As he said that, the store owner looked behind the cashier. Obviously, disasters are sometimes just a number to onlookers, but to those who have experienced them personally, they can mean the sky is falling and the earth is falling, and the world is destroyed. "Let's not talk about this now." Jiang Bai didn't intend to waste time arguing, "Besides these, do you have any other information you need to tell me, about the survivors of this disaster, your experiences afterwards, how you showed up at the burial ground... Anything is fine, as long as you think it is valuable information." The shop owner frowned and thought for a few seconds, then said, "I fell into a coma after the white light attack. I was saved by the little girl. There were dark shadows all around. She was mute. At least I didn't see her speak. Nightingale couldn't explain why this little girl acted like this. Show up here." "The eighteen people in the hot pot restaurant left behind thirteen shadows..." "wrong." Jiang Bai interrupted the store owner, "Eighteen people. The death of an extraordinary person will not leave a shadow. These are two people. You and the little girl survived. Thirteen plus two plus two equals seventeen. Where is the other person?" "Could it be that..." Jiang Bai wanted to find a mirror to verify his suspicions. He was surprised to find that there was nothing that could be used as a mirror in the hot pot restaurant! Even some spoons and pot bottoms that are originally reflective cannot illuminate any scene. Jiang Bai tried to use cold air to condense and create an ice mirror, but he couldn't see his appearance clearly! He touched it with both hands and made sure that there was nothing wrong with his face, but Jiang Bai was not sure what he looked like in the eyes of others.
"That's right." The shop owner nodded, confirming Jiang Bai's guess. "At that time, there was an eighteenth person in the store, but I couldn't remember his appearance, let alone when he appeared or when he left." "The mirror recorded everything, but it failed to leave the person's figure behind. Instead, it turned the extra spot into an opportunity for trialists to enter." Is that so? Jiang Bai frowned, rubbed his temples, and had an idea in his mind. "Emperor Kong Tian once said that his figure cannot be left on the mirror. In other words, as long as it is strong enough to exceed the upper limit of the mirror's load, it will be safe for the time being." "Both the little girl and the store owner survived, but the reason they survived was because the mirror was merciless, or was someone else taking action?" "Who is the target of Bai Mang's attack..." Based on the clues in his hand, Jiang Bai could only deduce a vague truth. The surviving mysterious man was most likely a dragon-level powerhouse, and Bai Mang's real target was also him. This was an attack and killing, the others were just affected! And it was this mysterious man who saved the shop owner and the little girl! There are not many special things about the store owner. The only breakthrough is the little girl. Jiang Bai took a look at the time, and there was less than 30 seconds left. He walked straight towards the little girl, knelt down and asked, "Kid, what's your name?" The little girl spoke childishly, "Xu Xi. The Xi that is difficult to write about." Shop owner:? ? ? Jiang Bai:? ? ? Didn’t you say you were mute? Jiang Bai asked curiously, "That uncle talked to you before, why didn't you answer?" Immediately afterwards, the little girl's answer caused a chill to rise in the back of Jiang Bai's head, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. She looked extremely serious and said word by word, "My brother doesn't let me talk to strangers."
