My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 102 The Person in the Sleeping Bag

Li Jiuhe and Luo Shuo returned to the place they had agreed upon with Tong Cheng.

The two did not search anywhere else because Luo Shuo secretly told Li Jiuhe that he felt someone was watching them.

Li Jiuhe didn't have this feeling, but he trusted Luo Shuo's intuition.

This guy's counter-tracking ability is also very strong; he's probably right about what he's being watched.

"Are you alright?"

Shortly after, Tong Cheng's voice came through Li Jiuhe's walkie-talkie.

"It's alright, we've already returned to the rendezvous point," Li Jiuhe replied immediately.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and night was approaching.

Tong Cheng quickly returned, glanced around the area, and ordered, "Let's pitch the tent here."

"Boss, something just now impersonated Li Jiuhe's daughter, and it looks exactly the same," Luo Shuo couldn't help but say.

Tong Cheng didn't say anything, he just nodded: "I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, who among you will keep watch for the second half?"

"I'll do it," Li Jiuhe said.

"Okay, if there's any movement, notify the others immediately."

The three of them quickly set up the tent, each with a sleeping bag, which was just enough to squeeze all three of them into the tent.

Then they gathered some drier firewood, started a fire, and took out their dry rations to eat.

Only then did Tong Cheng slowly speak: "You need to be careful, that thing should be able to capture memories in our minds and generate the target we are looking for based on our thoughts."

"You ran into them too?" Li Jiuhe asked.

Tong Cheng nodded and revealed for the first time the purpose of his visit to Longji Mountain.

"I'm looking for my teacher. That guy just transformed into him, and I defeated him. He should be dead. But I'm not sure if there are any others like him."

Luo Shuo glanced at Li Jiuhe, then cautiously asked Tong Cheng, "Boss, did your teacher have a similar experience to his daughter?"

He only asked the question because of his long-standing curiosity, and he was prepared that Tong Cheng might not answer.

But Tong Cheng nodded and replied, "My teacher disappeared along with a national-level sequence artifact while dealing with it, and his fate is unknown. Later, Minister Shao dreamed of him, and also dreamed of the place where he was called the Desolate Wooden House—"

"Are you talking about Minister Shao of the Equipment Department, whom I met at the General Administration a couple of days ago?" Li Jiuhe asked in surprise.

Tong Cheng nodded: "Minister Shao is a dream master. His dream abilities are far more powerful than those of the dream demon you captured in Wangchuan City. That dream demon could only create dream demons in human dreams, while Minister Shao can actively seek answers in his dreams based on his thoughts during the day. His dreams are very closely related to reality."

Luo Shuo suddenly realized something: "No wonder. Minister Shao's dream ability actually overlaps with my tracking ability in some aspects. We can both track the target we want to achieve."

"What did the deserted wooden house he dreamed of look like?" Li Jiuhe asked again.

"It's pretty much the same as the description in that 'Nanfeng Local Chronicles'," Tong Cheng said. "That's why I'm sure the wooden house mentioned in the book is that abandoned wooden house. But—"

At this point, Tong Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly lowered his voice: "But in all the times I've entered Dragon Ridge Mountain, I've never seen any Sequencers or Sequence Objects. This—is the first time."

Li Jiuhe and Luo Shuo exchanged a glance.

Luo Shuo just mentioned that after they arrived here, they felt like they were being watched.

As a high-ranking special sequence individual like Tong Cheng, he should have known this feeling, but he didn't say anything and still let everyone set up camp here. Now it seems that there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

"Get some rest, and continue the search tomorrow morning."

After a brief conversation, Tong Cheng gestured for everyone to rest and quickly turned off the camping lights.

Li Jiuhe lay in his sleeping bag, noticing the time allotted for his task.

Before going to sleep, he redefined the mission to "prevent enemy nighttime attacks," and then discovered that the mission did not include any foresight.

This suggests that the first half of the night is safe.

At the same time, he suddenly became puzzled about something: the current mission now included Tong Cheng, and he wondered if Tong Cheng would notice anything amiss if the mission were reset.

After all, Tong Cheng's sequence ability was the strongest he had ever encountered.

As for the equally powerful mastermind, there has been no direct contact with him until now.

The extremely powerful force that had suppressed his mission reset for several seconds when he was teleported to the Y-01 containment chamber by the Soul Splitter last time now seems not to belong to Si Mingyu, but to the true mastermind.

If Tong Cheng finds nothing after resetting his own task, does that prove that his task definition ability is superior to his opera singing ability in terms of dimensionality?

This matter could not be confirmed for the time being; he could only speculate in his mind. Soon, Li Jiuhe drifted off to sleep.

He woke up once during the journey and reset the task, which was nearing its end.

During this time, I saw a figure walking back and forth outside the tent, and judging from the outline of the figure, it was Tong Cheng.

Before his shift ended, he soon fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, he felt his phone vibrating next to his back; it was the shift change alarm he had set before going to bed.

As I climbed out of my sleeping bag, I saw that Luo Shuo was still sleeping soundly.

Tong Cheng was not seen inside the tent; he must have been waiting outside.

Li Jiuhe unzipped the tent entrance, squeezed out sideways, looked around, but didn't see Tong Cheng or hear any movement.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, a rustling sound came from behind a large tree not far away.

He thought it was Tong Cheng there, so he took out his weapon and slowly approached. Suddenly, a figure emerged from behind a tree, shaking his pants as he walked.

Li Jiuhe looked closely and discovered that it was Luo Shuo!

It looks like Luo Shuo was urinating behind the tree just now and just came out.

After seeing Li Jiuhe come out of the tent, he smiled and said, "Did I wake you up? I'm sorry."

Li Jiuhe stared at him with a surprised expression.

Luo Shuo immediately touched his face: "What are you looking at?"

Li Jiuhe glanced back at the tent and asked, "How long did it take you to get out?"

"Just now," Luo Shuo said, "I was woken up by the urge to pee. I was being very careful when I came out of the tent, afraid of waking you. But I didn't see the boss after I came out just now, I don't know where he went."

Li Jiuhe pointed to the tent: "Now that you're out, who's sleeping in your sleeping bag?"

"Huh?!" Luo Shuo's expression changed.

Li Jiuhe had already walked to the front of the tent and pulled down the zipper at the door, revealing three sleeping bags arranged two vertically and one horizontally inside.

Tong Cheng's sleeping bag lay across the tent near the entrance; it was empty at the moment.

But strangely enough, both Li Jiuhe's and Luo Shuo's sleeping bags were currently occupied by people!

The two sleeping bags were bulging up and down slowly.

"this----"

When Luo Shuo saw that there was someone sleeping in Li Jiuhe's sleeping bag, he immediately became alert and subconsciously took a few steps back to keep his distance from Li Jiuhe, who was standing next to him.

Li Jiuhe was also surprised, not expecting that someone would crawl into his sleeping bag so soon after he left.

He didn't see anyone enter the tent at all, and the tent itself was too small to hide anyone else.

Looking up at the surrounding area again, Tong Cheng was still nowhere to be found.

"Damn it, who's impersonating us?"

Luo Shuo glanced at Li Jiuhe standing there, then subconsciously touched his waist. "My weapons are all in my sleeping bag!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shuo's sleeping bag moved, and the person inside seemed to turn over and reach into the sleeping bag to grope around.

A short while later, the sleeping bag was opened, and the other Luo Shuo sat up. His eyes widened in horror as he stared at Ji Jiuhe and his other self standing outside the tent.

Then he turned his head to look at Li Jiuhe, who was fast asleep in the sleeping bag next to him.

Almost instinctively, the guy immediately took out the rune pistol from his sleeping bag, pointed the muzzle at the two people outside the tent, and then quickly turned the muzzle to aim at Li Jiuhe in the sleeping bag next to him.

Clearly, Luo Shuo, who had just woken up, was also confused and didn't know which Li Jiuhe to believe.

Li Jiuhe, outside the tent, turned to look at Luo Shuo, who had stepped aside and was looking wary.

He reached out to Luo Shuo, who had just come out to urinate, and said, "Come here, let me feel if you're warm."

The person who impersonated Li Yi yesterday had no body temperature; he was ice cold and had no pulse.

But at this moment, Luo Shuo was worried that Li Jiuhe had other intentions, so he hesitated and dared not get close.

Suddenly, Luo Shuo, who was still sitting in his sleeping bag inside the tent, pointed his gun at the two people outside the tent again.

He didn't say anything, and just pulled the trigger.

He fired a shot at Luo Shuo outside, and only after the gunshot rang out did he speak: "This person is fake."

As the gunshot rang out, Luo Shuo outside quickly threw himself to the ground, but he was a little too slow, and a bullet pierced his shoulder.

This scene gave Li Jiuhe a clue. He took the opportunity to rush to Luo Shuo's side, who was lying on the ground, and pressed his hand against the other man's carotid artery.

Human body temperature and the pulsation of arteries quickly travel to the fingertips.

"You are the real one."

Seeing the terrified look in Luo Shuo's eyes after being shot in the shoulder, Li Jiuhe did not hesitate and immediately activated the mission reset.
