Chapter 3 Prerequisites
"What's wrong with you?"

A strong young man with a strong body and bronze skin, who was full of the rough information of a seaside youth, suddenly smiled like a shy girl.

Just imagine...

Just imagine!
"Hey hey hey, I adjusted the system's voice to that of a cute girl."

Shu Li even saw a hint of blush on his face, and immediately felt a chill in his heart.

"Which one did you choose?" the other party asked.

Shu Li looked around and said sincerely: "I don't think this is a good place to discuss these things, what do you think?"

The villagers and elders around him all turned their gazes over, with endless vicissitudes in their eyes. Just looking at each other seemed to pull people alive into a lake called "sadness".

Shu Li couldn't stand this kind of push, so she took the lead and said, "I'm going to go somewhere else. Let's meet at the seaside altar in the evening. Remember to say something to others if you see them."

"Okay, okay." The other party woke up from the immersion, and couldn't help but tremble when facing the eyes of the old people.

"By the way, I am Ah Jiu's second brother, and my name is Ah Yue."

Shu Li nodded, and then quickly walked away from the area with glaring eyes. She didn't think any of them would become one of those old people, so there was no need to delay.

Shuli continued her journey, and her first stop was originally the clan leader's home, a tall and large house that stood in the middle of the village.

Unlike other village houses, which are dilapidated wooden houses or brick houses, the patriarch's home uses pure black rocks as its exterior walls.Even the remaining windows are inlaid with pure black glass.

Shu Li turned half a circle to the left from the direction she came from before she saw the same pure black door, which was also tightly closed.

She walked closer and gave it a tentative push. The coldness and heaviness within her reach were the only feedback.

In the patriarch's home, even the door is made of stone.

She turned around and was about to leave, but the door automatically closed inward, revealing a narrow gap.

The man who opened the door was hidden behind the door. Apart from his graying silver hair, no other features could be seen. He spoke in a pale and elderly voice.

"What are you doing here? Are you ready for the sacrifice? If something goes wrong the day after tomorrow, I will send you to see the Poseidon!"

The other party's tone was not really friendly. Shu Li blinked and gave the reason he had already thought of: "I'll get the stone staff."

The other party suddenly fell silent, confronting Shu Li silently.

Although Shu Li was puzzled, she was afraid of what would be revealed if she spoke rashly, so she looked directly at the other party.

A few minutes later, the old voice spoke again, with a faint smile: "Do you know who the sacrifice is this time?"

Shu Li's heart skipped a beat and she pretended not to know: "I haven't had time to see, what's wrong?"

"No wonder." The other party snorted, and then said angrily: "Just wait."

Then the other party walked away with shuffling steps, leaving Shu Li standing there frowning in confusion.

Within a few minutes, footsteps gradually approached, and a half-arm-long stone staff was handed out.

Although it looks small, the handle of the stone staff is polished from seaside rocks, and a dark red stone ball of unknown material is embedded on the top.

As soon as Shu Li took it, she was dropped by the unexpected weight.

"If you break it again, I'll use your brother's bones to do it." Seeing Shu Li's almost-missing action, the other party threatened viciously.

Almost instantly, Shu Li suddenly raised his head and glared at the other party as if he had been touched.

"Do your job honestly, and your whole family will be fine." The other party smiled instead: "Stop using your worthless kindness, you can't save anyone."

"Go away!" The other party said the last words and closed the heavy stone door.

Shu Li raised her hand and rubbed her face, her eyes falling on the stone staff in her hand.When she got this thing just now, her hands felt hot, and it wasn't entirely because it was too heavy that she almost couldn't hold it.

Shu Li found a remote corner and opened her panel again.

In addition to the basic information at the beginning, a lot of tips about tasks have been added above.

It includes the original identity information, time of the murder, suspect list and map route of the village.

In addition, there are actually several tasks.

[Current mission: "Kill" the clan leader (not activated)]

【Preconditions:
20. We need to find the truth behind the "sacrifice" and get the evidence. ([-] points)

5. Find your own murderous intention. ([-] points)]

"Killing the script? Doing the task? Are you not allowed to do it until it's finished?" Shu Li raised her head speechlessly, trying to ease the helplessness deep in her heart.

Regardless of whether your script is orthodox or not, how do you do this task?

Shu Li silently looked at the stone house of the clan leader. He couldn't even get in, so he couldn't find any evidence.

The time now is noon at most, because there is a sea breeze blowing from time to time at the beach, and it is not hot at all.

However, Shu Li lifted the hem of her skirt, and the moon-white hem was already stained with a lot of mud.

Sighing helplessly, Shu Li decided to visit the remaining two key places first.

The apprentice's house was closer than the clan leader's former residence, and Shu Li arrived at the door in less than 5 minutes' walk.

Unlike other villagers' homes, the door here is wide open, and a young man wearing a robe of the same color as Shu Li is drawing talisman religiously.

"Hello." Recognizing the other man as the other man at the wooden table just now, Shu Li knocked on the door: "Can I come in?"

The other party nodded, and then said: "I am the patriarch's apprentice and his nephew. My name is Ahai."

"I know, you are a goddess." The other party's eyes were bright, with a determined smile: "You are a murderer, right?"

Shu Li held her forehead, this script killing was indeed abnormal.

"Why did you decide that I was the murderer? Do you have more information than us?" Shu Li asked.

"Oh, that's not the case." Ah Hai said, "Because my logic is weak and I always rely on intuition to guess."

Shu Li asked him calmly: "Then what's your accuracy rate?"

Ahai touched his nose guiltily: "Half and half..."

That means it's unbelievable. Shu Li came to the conclusion and said seriously: "I don't even know if I count, and the other thing is..."

"Did you read the panel? There are four suspects on it, which means you all know how to do it. Use your intuition and guess yourself."

"What panel?" The confusion on the other party's face was more sincere than Shu Li's.

Shu Li: "..."

"Didn't you hear the sound just now?" she asked.

Ah Hai raised his hand and drew more than a dozen talismans, and became more sincere: "The voice in my ears told me to follow the plot, so I drew this. I have been drawing it until now."

He scratched his head in embarrassment: "That's just me. I can only concentrate on one thing, so I didn't hear other sounds. Has anyone come to see me?"

Shu Li: There is a ghost...
