CHAPTER 1618: CHAPTER 696: HEROIC SHEEPSKIN

"Let’s hurry and set off to find that Soldier Sheepskin!"

Finally finding a way to pass the level, Grey Mother breathed a sigh of relief.

"Could that old monster be lying to us?"

Brother Overcoat was highly suspicious.

"Probably not, right?"

Classmate Zhou analyzed, "In the game, it acts as a key NPC that gives hints!"

"Shut up, all of you!"

Gu Qingqiu scolded, then stood by the stove and continued asking, "You just said the sheep pen is the safest place in the world, but several of us were caught and slaughtered by that goat-headed butcher."

The old man was silent.

"If you don’t speak, I’ll start smoking out the tunnel!"

Gu Qingqiu threatened.

"Isn’t it normal for lambs to be slaughtered by a butcher?"

The old man felt wronged. "What I meant by safe is that ’it’ will never go to the sheep pen, so it’s safe to hide there when being hunted by it."

"What the hell!"

Brother Overcoat was about to explode with anger; the wolf-headed person wouldn’t kill them, but a butcher would appear, and the way of dying would be much worse than being shot by a hunter’s gun.

From the old man’s perspective, there was no issue because he and the goat-headed butcher were of the same clan and wouldn’t be slaughtered.

"Is there any important building or place in this town? Like an ancestral hall?"

Gu Qingqiu continued to ask.

"No!"

"Then is there anything with a long history?"

"No!"

"Think carefully; things like a millstone used for many years or trees that have grown for hundreds of years count!"

"The well in the east of the village; the water is very sweet. It’s said to be from a spring, and our Goat Town was built because of this spring. The Goat King once drank from that well and praised it, even wrote a poem."

The old man recalled.

Gu Qingqiu asked more than a dozen questions, some of which were repeated, just to make this old goat-headed man answer again.

If he was lying, it would be easy for loopholes to appear.

It turned out the old man was relatively honest.

"I’ve finished asking. Does anyone else have questions?"

Gu Qingqiu stepped aside, her eyes on San Miyairi.

Among these people, besides Lin Baici, the only one with enough meticulousness was this person.

Of course, these two were also the ones capable of asking questions of great value.

Everyone shook their heads.

Walker and Holkina were quite shocked. They originally thought she was a crazy woman with a dysfunctional mind, but her logic was surprisingly tight.

Honestly, many of the questions she asked hadn’t even crossed their minds, but after hearing them, they realized their importance.

"Exploring God’s ruins with someone like you is really easy, but also truly humiliating."

San Miyairi teased, "It makes one feel like a fool!"

Because Gu Qingqiu was watching her, she knew they were under close watch.

Even the Crown Prince Candidate Walker didn’t get such treatment.

Gu Qingqiu shrugged, "Now, split into four teams. Walker and Holkina, you head to the sheep pen. Alumni, you and Red Medicine go to the well. As for one team, Eri-chan, you lead them to search the whole town and try your luck."

"What does the fourth team do?"

Xia Hongyao couldn’t think of the task.

"Interrogate that old man!"

San Miyairi laughed.

"Huh?"

Xia Hongyao was stunned, "Didn’t he say everything already?"

"..."

San Miyairi suddenly felt that this naive High Ponytail looked very silly.

"But there’s no way to confirm if he’s lying!"

Gu Qingqiu explained, "Besides, there might be some things he doesn’t even know are important information, but we can judge from clues!"

"I’ll stay with you!"

San Miyairi loved doing interrogations: "Qiujang, you take these people and search the town!"

"But Snow Princess, my duty is to protect and serve you!"

Qiu Shankui didn’t want to go.

"It’s urgent, go quickly!"

San Miyairi urged.

"I’ll help you guys bring that old monster up first!"

Walker rolled up his sleeves, walked to the stove, and looked down.

"No need, the two of us can handle it!"

Gu Qingqiu refused.

"You guys hurry up!"

San Miyairi laughed, "Don’t think about slacking off. Since this old monster says the sheep pen is the safest place, it means that wolf-headed person with a gun will also break into the town!"

The kimono woman’s words made everyone’s skin tighten directly.

"Red Medicine, stay!"

Lin Baici left.

"Be extra careful!"

Hua Yue Yu advised Gu Qingqiu and chased after Lin Baici.

Classmate Zhou, Grey Mother, and the others hurriedly followed, not wanting to search the town with Qiu Shankui. In the end, only the two lone figures of Walker and Holkina remained, but they didn’t complain and just left.

"Qingqiu, your arrangement has a problem. Walker and Holkina definitely won’t go to the sheep pen to search!"

Xia Hongyao was worried.

"Do you even need to ask?"

San Miyairi chuckled, "With their personalities, they’d definitely want to bring a few cannon fodder with them just in case. Since they didn’t, it means they won’t go to the sheep pen!"

"Huh?"

Xia Hongyao thought for a moment, and it was indeed like that: "Then what to do?"

"Miss Qingqiu’s goal was to keep those two away from the spring, because what if Lin Baici finds the Soldier Sheepskin and they try to steal it?"

San Miyairi explained, those two weren’t good people.

"Huh?"

Xia Hongyao was confused, "Then who will search the sheep pen?"

"No need to go!"
