After being hit in the face by the system, I swapped bodies with Zhongli

Chapter 174 The murderer is...

Brother Liu, who had been driving, was silent for a long time before speaking again: "Liu Xiaomi, you are just like a toad in a pond, croaking non-stop. It's really noisy and annoying. It's affecting my driving. If you weren't my aunt, I would kick you out of the car right now!"

But halfway through his words, Brother Liu paused for a moment: "This person, uh...what's your name?"

Yuan Zhuoyue naturally knew that this question was directed at her, so she replied in a gentle and calm voice: "Brother Liu, you can call me Zhongli."

Brother Liu: “……?”

"Ha...Okay, Zhongli...you're really into the show." Brother Liu laughed dryly twice before continuing, "Zhongli, if you think she's too noisy, just ignore her, and she'll be quiet after a while."

The girl named Liu Xiaomi shouted from the trunk: "Who are you calling a toad? Who are you calling a noise? You have no respect for your elders! You are so rebellious! I'm going to tell my sister and have her spank you!"

Brother Liu said without even turning his head: "Then you have to act like an elder. What if we can't fall behind today? Otherwise, we will meet my mother later and see whether she will slap me first or you first."

Perhaps it was because the people in the car were not particularly familiar with each other, so during such a quarrel, the young couple in the car only showed an awkward yet polite smile and acted as quiet listeners.

The young man, who looked shy to begin with, seemed a little uncomfortable in his movements. He moved his body slightly from time to time to avoid blocking the communication between the two with his presence.

The round-faced boy huddled up silently, as if he was afraid that the war would spread to him.

These people did not participate in the dispute. Perhaps the communication between these two people was more like the way of emotional exchange between familiar and good family members rather than a quarrel.

As an outsider, before any real conflict broke out, these were just playful words, and it would be difficult to rashly intervene when the two were not familiar with each other.

After all, some words, when said among family and friends, are just jokes and a normal way of expressing feelings, but when said by a random acquaintance, it may be a bit offensive.

The dispute ended with Brother Liu saying, "Shut her mouth, I will take you to the top!"

Upon hearing this, the round-faced boy who had been hiding in a corner immediately joined the battle and said in a very guilty tone: "Sister, although I also want to stand on your side, he really gave too much!"

"Why are you still leaning outward with your elbow?" Liu Xiaomi slapped away her brother's hand that was trying to cover her mouth, and said in a distressed tone: "Is this all you can do? He's just a king! Can you be bought off so easily?"

"Do you know how great the temptation of the king is for someone like me who has been hovering around diamonds for years?" The round-faced boy argued, "Can you give me these? You can't! Besides, we are all family, how can we be disloyal?"

Liu Xiaomi sneered, "What a joke! So many people said they would help you become a king, but you only made it to the Star Glory at best. Now he says he will help you become a king, can you succeed in getting there?"

The round-faced boy pondered for a moment and said very seriously: "What if I saw a ghost?"

Yuan Zhuoyue: "..."

She suddenly had an epiphany that the saying "If you are not from the same family, you should not enter the same door" was quite reasonable.

In the short time that she spent with them, the personalities displayed by these three people could be said to be completely consistent and their interests were similar.

When no one asked her any questions, Yuan Zhuoyue just quietly acted as a bystander, observing the situation of the people in the car.

Now she can see clearly that, including her, the people on the bus can be divided into three camps from different sources.

It is obvious that they are a family. The girl named Liu Xiaomi, her younger brother, and the driver's nephew who is driving the car can be considered a group.

The woman sitting in the passenger seat and the man sitting directly behind her are husband and wife, and therefore they can belong to a small group.

The only one left alone, without any familiar companions, was the young man sitting next to Yuan Zhuoyue, who looked extremely shy and not good at talking.

And Yuan Zhuoyue who just got on this car

Although I listened to the lively, enthusiastic and very familiar girl talking a lot in an eloquent and patient manner, in fact, not much time had passed.

Also, because the driver was distracted by talking to them, the SUV was now driving on the road much slower than many previous times.

Until this moment, the place that just passed by caused the people in the car to suddenly draw their swords against each other and fight with each other to take each other's lives.

And at that moment, it was as if they had reached a node. The negative energy that Yuan Zhuoyue had been able to feel, which was similar to "filth" but was vague and negative, gradually grew stronger and permeated the moving vehicle ever since he got on the bus.

However, it is difficult to find out the source of these powers and who they come from.

Because Yuan Zhuoyue could feel that, except for her, everyone in this car had this faint scent on them.

It seems like it can be blown away by the breeze at any time, but it also seems like it is entangled with them, lingering and unable to be separated.

Like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, it can deliver the most fatal blow to its prey at any time.

Yuan Zhuoyue half closed his eyes, and a golden light flashed quickly in his eyes, like a dancing cluster of golden candle flames.

Then, those things that were like silk threads, entangled around them and could manipulate them, making people feel sticky and uncomfortable, and a bit suffocated, disappeared completely in an instant.

Some invisible constraints were broken at this moment.

However, the lively and talkative girl was immersed in her own thoughts again in an instant. She frowned slightly, raised her hand and rubbed her temple, seeming to be feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Hmm... why do I suddenly feel a little dizzy and nauseous?" She muttered softly, "Is it motion sickness? Or is it because I haven't eaten for a long time and my blood sugar is a little low?"

While carefully observing the people sitting in the car, Yuan Zhuoyue discovered that in the brief moment when those negative forces appeared, they were dissipated by her.

Whether from the expressions on their faces or some unintentional body language, they all conveyed the message that they were in an uncomfortable state.

So...the fighting they experienced in many previous cycles were all caused by these negative forces?

This may indeed be one of the reasons.

But it is definitely not the only reason. Yuan Zhuoyue moved her gaze slightly and set her sights on the person who was most suspicious.

Although Yuan Zhuoyue's actions in the previous few times seemed to be in vain.

But Yuan Zhuoyue, who had witnessed with his own eyes how several people fought in a moving car, did obtain a lot of useful information.

And successfully locked onto a target person.
