âHey, the tent is set up, come in and rest,â Fei Lezhi shouted at them.
The confused and bewildered Xu Yang led his dog as Wei Xun pushed him forward with his arm draped over Xu Yangâs shoulders. After taking two steps, Xu Yang suddenly felt agitated, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Wei Xunâs clothes and asked, âAre you kidding me?â
âYouâre finally reacting?â
Wei Xun smiled and patted Xu Yangâs head casually. Xu Yangâs expression was very stinky, but he did not escape.
The contrast between Wei Xun before and Wei Xun just now was too great. And the more Wei Xun downplayed it, the more Xu Yang felt that the âkill IV-1â he said at that time was his true thought.
He was not someone normal people could understand. He was an extrajudicial madman who really ignored all common sense and rules.
âIâll just treat it as if you were teasing me,â Xu Yang murmured.
However, his hand gripped Wei Xunâs clothes even harder. Ordinary people would avoid madmen, but for Xu Yang, a boy with antisocial tendencies, after the initial panic he felt had faded, he felt unprecedented interest in Wei Xun.
It was exciting to finally find someone of the same kind in the vast crowd. The immature little madman met a powerful and mature older madman. The temperament Wei Xun inadvertently exposed fascinated Xu Yang, and he wanted to worship Wei Xun.
âBrother Wei, do you already have an idea? What are you going to do?â
Youths at this age in life worshipped the strong. Youths of this age either worshiped their fathers or righteous heroes. Xu Yang, who had grown crooked, was very smart and despised those adults and elders who regarded him as a child until he met Wei Xun.
Were murderers evil? Was the man who killed the mighty tour guide who tormented the tourists a villain?
Killing the tour guide and becoming the leader of the tour group yourself was much more thrilling than just destroying one item and throwing the tour group into chaos.
What was more, Wei Xun didnât talk bigââHe had stepped on IV-1 on the first day.
Xu Yang seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and he was completely convinced by Wei Xun.
Brother Wei was the one who took the whole situation into account!
Maybe killing the tour guide and controlling the tour group were not Wei Xunâs ultimate goals. He might have a bigger goal. Xu Yang was eager to participate in Wei Xunâs plan, which would definitely be very interesting!
âIâm going out tonight,â Wei Xun said slowly, âI want you to guard the tent and tell Fei Lezhi and Yin Baitao not to run around. Can you do it?â
âI can!â
This was the test that Brother Wei gave me!
Xu Yang was very excited and didnât feel annoyed at all. Instead, he felt a sense of honor because he was participating in Wei Xunâs big plan. Fei Lezhi was young and healthy, Yin Baitao was meticulous and knowledgeable about medicine, and both of them were connected with Wei Xun in reality.
In contrast, Xu Yang was blind, young, frail, and nearly died during dinner.
However, Wei Xun had only told him of such a big plan, and the key task of guarding the tent was also handed over to him.
Not only was Xu Yang excited, but he secretly swore in his heart that he must complete the task assigned by Wei Xun!
âI have two titles.â
Xu Yang was frank with Wei Xun and wanted to improve Wei Xunâs impression of him. Afraid that they would be noticed by Fei Lezhi who was nearby, Xu Yang directly showed Wei Xun his titles.
Although Xu Yang was blind, he was still selected by the Travel Services. Furthermore, it was a Difficult-level tour to northern Tibet.
When Wei Xun had first joined a tour, he only had one green title of [Painless], but Xu Yang had two blue titles when he first started out!
[A Blind Manâs Perception (Blue Title): As a blind person, you have extraordinary perception. Your esteemed self can sense up to ten meters underground, in the sky, the right, and the left, all around you. Of course, it is not easy to perceive things. Your esteemed self always has to have a guide dog or a walking stick to do it.]
âIV-1 can see my title, so today he kept me by his side as he explored the underground passageways in Wenbunanâs North Village.â
Xu Yang was quite proud and as if disdainful of IV-1âs behavior, he said, âI acted like a rational and cold-blooded fool, and he believed it. The map I gave IV-1 was incomplete, and there are a few passageways that I didnât mark.
âThere was an underground passageway to South Village that had beast bones in it. IV-1 asked me to draw this passageway. He may go to investigate South Village tonight.â
Wei Xun felt that the second half of Xu Yangâs words seemed reasonable. But for the first part, Wei Xun smiled and said nothing.
Xu Yang himself was absolutely rational, cold-blooded, and selfish, and he would always stand on the side that was most beneficial to him. However, such people were also paranoid, suspicious, cautious, and vindictive. Wei Xun felt that Xu Yang had revealed this information to him because of what had happened during dinner.
He might think that IV-1, as a tour guide, must have known that there was a problem with the dinner, but IV-1 did not remind him so he had almost died. It might have been because Xu Yang was able to âseeâ the secret passageway, which made IV-1 want to kill him.
That was why Xu Yang had joined Wei Xunâs side.
But as long as Xu Yang could be used and was easy to use, Wei Xun didnât care if he was cold-blooded, rational, and selfishââAnyway, Wei Xun was confident that standing on his side was definitely Xu Yangâs only and best choice.
âI suspect that IV-1 can only see one title for each tourist,â Xu Yang quickly said in a low voice.
When Xu Yang got to the tent, he no longer revealed his titles. They were obviously just for Wei Xun to see.
This amount of time was enough for Wei Xun to remember Xu Yangâs second title, and for him to understand why Xu Yang had the confidence to propose to âdestroy that item.â This title was really excellent, and even Wei Xun had to praise it in his heart.
[Close Your Eyes Before Itâs Dark (Dark Blue Title): Your esteemed self can choose who will be the civilians and the werewolves among the tourists and tour guide. When your esteemed self says âClose your eyes before itâs dark,â the civilians will fall asleep, and the werewolves will be free to move. No one will notice their movements. Select up to three civilians and one werewolf at the one time for five minutes. Being addicted to games is bad. According to the Anti-Addiction Regulations Of Minors, your esteemed self can only play one game a day!]
This title was extremely useful, and its limitations were pitifully few. As long as Xu Yang activated the title, he could set IV-1 and his lackeys as civilians, and set Wei Xun as a werewolf. Five minutes was enough for Wei Xun to search IV-1 from top to bottom.
It was better to head out at the right time than to head out early. Wei Xun would be going out secretly at night. As long as Xu Yang set him as the werewolf, he would never be discovered. Five minutes was enough for him to escape far away from the tents.
âI can set Yin Baitao and Fei Lezhi as civilians, so they will fall asleep,â Xu Yang suggested.
Today was the first night of their tour, and he estimated that Yin Baitao and the others would toss and turn, unable to fall asleep. If Xu Yang set Wei Xun as a werewolf, the effect would disappear after five minutes, and Yin Baitao and the others might still find out.
If Yin Baitao and the others were set as civilians, they could fall asleep naturally, and they wouldnât necessarily wake up after the effect ended. In any case, getting enough restful sleep and recharging their energy would be good for exploring the ruins of Xiangxiong Kingdom the next day.
âNo.â
Wei Xun shook his head, pondered for a moment and said, âWhen the time comes, set these three as civilians.â
After the events of the day, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, and it was really late. They chatted for a while in the tidy tent and told each other about their titles. Xu Yang also took the opportunity to talk about IV-1âs visit to South Village in the evening. Everyone scolded IV-1, and worriedly discussed future countermeasures. However, they were all so tired, and fell asleep while they were talking.
Wei Xunâs sleeping bag was at the entrance of the tent, and he said he was guarding the door. In fact, he had released the young fox earlier and let it climb to the top of the tent to observe their surroundings. Their tent was at the outermost edge, and the young fox standing on the top of the tent could observe the other tents.
Once Wei Xun released the young fox, he was in no hurry. He first fell into a light sleep and recharged his energy. After some unknown amount of time, Wei Xun felt something fluffy rubbing against his neck while he was half asleep. There was movement in both tents near IV-1âs tent, just as he had expected.
Wei Xun opened his eyes and slipped out of his sleeping bag. Duoduo, who was standing beside Xu Yang, also woke up. The golden retriever dog was gentle and quiet as it wagged its tail at Wei Xun. Wei Xun touched the dogâs head, then looked at Xu Yang. The boy sat up and nodded at Wei Xun.
Xu Yang would act according to the plan.
Xu Yang set Wei Xun as a werewolf, and the three people he had mentioned as civilians. Wei Xun felt an invisible energy wrapping around him, like a thin invisibility cloak. He left the tent. Indeed, he did not attract anyoneâs attention.
The cold moonlight covered the ground like a silver gauze, and the sky was dotted with hundreds of millions of stars. It was a night sky that was rarely seen in the city. Under the illumination of the moonlight and starlight, a black figure snuck out of a tent. He was completely unaware of Wei Xunâs presence when he passed by Wei Xun. The black figure quickly left the base as it staggered towards Tangra Yumco.
With the help of the moonlight, Wei Xun could see his face clearly. It was Yue Chenghua, from one of the families who had toasted him with a cup of wine at IV-1âs instigation during dinner.
During dinner, a total of four people had heeded IV-1âs instructions to toast Wei Xun. And when Wei Xun had taken Xu Yang out to vomit, all the families with three tourists had followed. The two families with two tourists had stayed in the tent.
The families with three tourists each stuck together in their own groups, while the families with two tourists fawned on IV-1. More or less everyone had eaten the fish and meat on the table, but only the families of three had spat it out under the inducement of the music played by the eagle flute. When Wei Xun took Xu Yang and the others to leave, the four tourists still hadnât exited. When the four tourists had finally come over, the descendant of the eagle flutist had left.
Wei Xun thought that with IV-1âs character, he would not be kind enough to let those four leave to listen to the eagle flute. IV-1 might even evilly watch the âshow.â And would the descendant of the eagle flutist solve everyoneâs problem? He probably wouldnât.
Sure enough, Wei Xunâs prediction was right. There was movement in the tents of the two families with two tourists just now. The four of them should have left, taking advantage of the darkness of the night.
Wei Xun believed that this was related to the side task he received. If the side task was something like offering sacrifices to evil gods, the chance of something unexpected happening would increase with the number of âsacrificesâ there were. Therefore, Wei Xun had asked Xu Yang to make three of those people civilians so that they would fall asleep.
And this Yue Chenghua, who prided himself on being loyal to IV-1, didnât notice the strangeness of his companions. Yue Chenghua only wore cashmere long johns and a fleece jacket, and he didnât wear shoes. He quickly turned pale and blue due to the chill he felt at night in the highlands. Soon, he looked like a stale and dead fish.
He walked all the way to the shore of Tangra Yumco, and then started to circle the lake. He used the method of kowtowing with all five of his body parts touching the ground. After a while, he was covered in mud. When he was covered with mud, Wei Xun watched him tremble before he stood up and walked to the shore of Tangra Yumco, one step at a time.
Under the moonlight, Tangra Yumco was pitch-black, like a huge black jade. The waves on the lake were basically invisible, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance were just black silhouettes. The location was remote, and it was said that there were often foxes and wild bears around the lake. Dogs were also raised in Wenbunan Village.
But at this time, Yue Chenghua was already kneeling by the lake, burying his head in the lake water.
Was he going to drown himself?
Wei Xun took another dozen steps in the direction of Tangra Yumco, and stayed at a distance from the lake. At this moment, the effect of âWerewolfâ had disappeared, and he did not get too close. When Wei Xun got closer to Yue Chenghua, Wei Xun realized that he was crazily drinking water from the lake.
After the young fox possessed Wei Xun, his eyesight was excellent. Wei Xun clearly saw that Yue Chenghua was like a tourist in a desert who was about to die of thirst and was desperately pouring water into his mouth. There was fear and despair on his face, as if he was still conscious at the moment, but he could not control his movements.
After he drank the lake water, his abdomen expanded like a drum, and he began to vomit while drinking. He began drinking again, and vomited soon after. After several repetitions, Yue Chenghua finally stopped drinking the water. Now, he was unable to lie on his back by the lake and was half immersed in the water and half on the land. His abdomen bulged in a clear arc. His mouth and nose were still overflowing, and he was twitching all over.
The posture he adopted while lying down was also very strange. His legs were crossed and bent, with one hand on his abdomen and the other pointing towards the center of the lake. His body was now twisted in a strange posture, unlike one a human could adopt.
Suddenly, the sky and the ground grew dark. Thick clouds blocked the moonlight, and the surface of Tangra Yumco became even deeper and darker. Yue Chenghua trembled even more, as if he was afraid, but he kept this weird posture as if he couldnât escape from what was happening.
Wei Xun narrowed his eyes. His gaze had already left Yue Chenghua, and he was now looking at the lake.
Then, he looked at Yue Chenghuaâs fingers, which were dipped in the lake water and pointing in a certain direction. A black line split the calm surface of the water in that direction and ripples appeared, moving quickly towards Yue Chenghuaâs direction.
At this moment, a strong premonition of danger suddenly surged in Wei Xunâs heart. The premonition of danger came from neither the direction of the lake, nor from behind him. It came from the sky above him!

Xunxun, who drank the leopardâs blood: Iâm burning up!
