"You're amazing, Sister Zhu Ming! You can even come up with such ideas!"
After hearing the solution Lin Yu offered the bodyguards, Li Nian couldn't help but praise.
Lin Yu himself reacted very normally: "Once you've been schemed against by someone who can modify memories, it's easy to come up with this kind of method."
"I suffered a loss in a certain [instance]."
Old Zheng immediately protested in the mind communication: "Where did you suffer a loss?"
"Even if you suffered a loss in the second half, it should be blamed on the 'Diviner', not me."
Lin Yu didn't speak, just continued to communicate with Li Nian.
"Sister Zhu Ming, you even have times when you 'suffer losses'? I really didn't expect that."
Li Nian chuckled and gently nudged Lin Yu's arm with her elbow.
Lin Yu curled his lip: "Who can avoid suffering losses in this broken game?"
While the two were chatting, the bodyguards over there had already outlined the general situation of the two missing people according to Lin Yu's instructions.
"The missing ones should be two ordinary bodyguards responsible for left-wing protection. They shouldn't have joined the escort service for too long. Both of them should be good at using bows and crossbows, and have a good relationship with Wu San and Bai Yuandao. They might be apprentices brought by Wu San."
After summarizing the information, Yue Zhenqiao rubbed his temples, feeling quite a headache.
He vaguely felt like there were such two people, but... even though the information was so specific, and the outline was so clear, he still couldn't outline the information of these two people.
Yue Zhenqiao exhaled: "Two heroines, do you have any ideas?"
Li Nian narrowed her eyes.
She could see that although Yue Zhenqiao called them two heroines, his eyes actually fell entirely on Lin Yu.
Li Nian was quite clear that, judging from her and Zhu Ming's performance during this period, in Yue Zhenqiao's mind, she was probably a "brave type" of general, while Zhu Ming should be a "brain trust" type of military advisor.
No, that's not right...
Zhu Ming also subdued a mountain demon leader, so she should be the type who is both wise and brave, while she is the type who is brave but lacks strategy.
"Oh, I'm inexplicably underestimated, but fortunately, I don't have to use my brain... let's just leave it at that."
So, Li Nian poked Lin Yu again: "Sister Zhu Ming, they're asking for your opinion again."
Lin Yu sighed: "Don't just slack off, put in some effort."
But even so, Lin Yu still gave his suggestion: "Sort out this general information, it can be more targeted when searching later... I'm not familiar with those two, so you guys think about it, what are the common characteristics of the missing two—not the superficial ones like using bows and arrows, but the kind of characteristics that can best explain why these two went missing."
As Lin Yu spoke, Yue Zhenqiao scratched his head: "This..."
"It doesn't matter... even if the two of them went missing twice, two samples are still too few," Lin Yu said calmly, "So, you can analyze it first, and then continue to wait."
Yue Zhenqiao was a little puzzled: "Wait for what?"
Li Nian reacted, and said softly: "You're really calm to the point of being a little cruel, Sister Zhu Ming."
Lin Yu looked at Yue Zhenqiao, and said in a flat tone: "Wait for new people to go missing—noon is still long, these won't be the last two to go missing."
"The more samples, the more patterns."
"So, I suggest you engrave the numbers thirty-one and twenty-six on the stone, and then continue to count every once in a while."
As Lin Yu spoke, he admired Yue Zhenqiao's ugly face.
After a long time, Chief Bodyguard Yue nodded.
"...Okay."
Although Lin Yu's words were a bit harsh, Yue Zhenqiao knew that this was also the truth.
Lin Yu rested his cheek on his hand, his eyes sweeping across all the bodyguards present.
What he didn't tell Yue Zhenqiao was that although he hadn't deliberately memorized the appearance of all the bodyguards before, he now knew all the bodyguards' heights, weights, and facial features.
So...
If any more bodyguards go missing, Lin Yu is sure he will know who is missing.
Also...
"Old Zheng, you give me your full attention. If someone goes missing later, tell me as soon as possible."
"Okay!"
Old Zheng immediately responded.
After doing this, Lin Yu glanced at Li Nian next to him, and then found...
As someone hired to help people pass levels, Li Nian was much more dedicated than himself.
She moved to 'Flying Knife's side, directly tied a rope around the employer Flying Knife's right ankle, wrapped the other end of the rope around her hand a few times, and held it firmly.
At the same time...
After doing all this, Li Nian was also unobtrusively paying attention to everything in the stone house.
Obviously, Li Nian was also waiting for the next disappearance to find the pattern of personnel disappearance.
But Li Nian gave higher priority to ensuring that Flying Knife would not disappear unnoticed than Lin Yu.
As the employer, Flying Knife himself was indeed a little scared.
"People can disappear for no reason... it's just like those most dangerous [instances] with no rules at all!"
"I thought there were more such instances in Mist Island, I didn't expect Yushan Realm to have such settings."
He said nervously, obviously very worried that he would suddenly disappear inexplicably.
Looking at the nervous Flying Knife, Lin Yu comforted him.
"Don't worry, if you really suffer, the two of us will definitely save you—after all, we haven't received the final payment yet."
Li Nian also nodded: "Yes, you heard it just now... Sister Zhu Ming's idea for those bodyguards was so great, which shows that she is very good at dealing with this kind of situation."
"You're right, Sister Zhu Ming!"
Lin Yu nodded again: "That's right, even if this guy hiding in the dark has a weird style, A Nian's ability is not inferior. Even if you are silently taken away, maybe A Nian can 'steal' you back."
"I can't steal living things."
Li Nian reminded him in a timely manner.
"Why are you reminding him of this," Lin Yu said helplessly, and then added, "At least... A Nian can let you die and see your corpse, isn't that good?"
"Where is that good? Is it poisonous?!"
Flying Knife said with a headache.
But being interrupted by the two of them like this, he was indeed not so nervous anymore.
A fierce look appeared on the face of this ordinary-looking man: "However, if he really dares to attack me, I will fight him!"
"Although I don't have any trump cards or life-saving methods now, I am at least 'Second Order', and I'm not easy to mess with!"
"You have ambition."
Li Nian gave a thumbs up.
At this moment, the heavy sound of the small door of the stone house being pushed open came.
"Creak—"
The sound of stone rubbing against the ground sounded, and Flying Knife looked nervously at the door.
"What is it, who is it?!"
Yue Zhenqiao also jumped up directly, his hand on the knife.
It's noon now...
The one who can open the door from outside at this time, can it be a simple character?
