I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 192 I am a pig

After lunch, Jiang Yingzhu led Li Yan and the other two to an old shopping mall.

"It still seems like there are a lot of people, but there's nothing we can do about it. It's New Year's Day today, and our country has a huge population to begin with."

Jiang Yingzhu shrugged and pointed to the bustling entrance of the shopping mall.

"This is it, it's only four stories high."

"Mmm!" Mei Mengqian nodded.

In fact, they could still look.

But the point is to have fun, so why worry so much? Just choose the nearest option.

At least there are fewer people here than in Moore City and the newly opened Wanda Plaza!
Seeing that no one had any objections, Jiang Yingzhu continued to explain the rules.

"We've agreed on three rules: no standing still, no private communication or communication through a third party, and anyone found must shout 'I'm a pig!' Now go find the door. Mengmeng, you go in from here."

After saying that, Jiang Yingzhu walked eastward.

This rule is good; there's a penalty for being caught, and there's also a penalty for not being caught.

This way, no one will play the game passively.

Anyway, Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian don't want to be found and then shouted "I'm a pig".

Li Yan stroked his chin, thinking that his childhood sweetheart was really having a hard time with pigs.

The mall has four entrances, and they agreed to each enter from one of them.

Jiang Yingzhu had already walked far away, and seeing this, Hua Junshu chose the opposite direction.

Li Yan could only go in the last direction.

Since it would take a long detour, he chose to travel with Hua Junshu.

Because the route here is shorter.

"How does the senior plan to find a partner?"

Hua Junshu held his phone, watching the three dots on it slowly move, and shook his head.

"do not know."

She glanced at Li Yan sideways, as if to say, "It's your turn to speak."

"I'm going to wander around aimlessly."

Hua Junshu nodded, secretly wondering where Li Yan would go if he were just wandering around aimlessly.

First, we can rule out the women's restrooms and women's clothing area; I've been to this mall before.

One basement level and four above-ground levels.

The basement is a mixed area of ​​clothing, gifts, and snacks, while the ground floor has the most food. The second floor has an arcade, an ice rink, and other entertainment facilities, mixed with children's clothing. The third floor has men's clothing, and the fourth floor has women's clothing.

Hua Junshu pondered the personalities of Li Yan, Jiang Yingzhu, and Mei Mengqian.

It's unlikely that Mei Mengqian went to the third floor, since there should be many boys there.

Jiang Yingzhu wasn't sure; she was outgoing and might be somewhere else.

Hua Junshu prefers the first floor and the basement because there are more delicious foods there.

Jiang Yingzhu is a foodie.

As I was thinking, I arrived at the West Gate.

He stopped, looked up, and saw Li Yan waving at him before continuing to walk north.

Shortly after, a message from Jiang Yingzhu popped up in the group chat.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's begin the game."

Li Yan sent a "1" and stepped into the mall.

He wasn't planning to play seriously, otherwise, let alone a shopping mall, no one in this entire district would be able to escape his divine sense detection.

Li Yan was also familiar with this old shopping mall because his mother used to sell clothes at a street stall here.

Li Yan sometimes helps out, and when he's bored, he'll wander around the mall.

Back then, the first floor of the mall was full of delicious food.

It's upsetting to think about it. I wandered around the mall late at night, eating all the food, but I had no money in my pocket.

Now that he was here, Li Yan decided to make it up to himself; it wasn't too late.

After entering the entrance, there are two milk tea shops and snack stalls.

The milk tea wasn't from a big brand, so Li Yan went in and bought a cup of lemon tea, and then bought some stinky tofu from the stinky tofu stall next door.

Then he ate slowly, while using his divine sense to observe the movements of Jiang Yingzhu, Mei Mengqian, and Hua Junshu.

Under her divine sense, Jiang Yingzhu entered the elevator shaft next to the entrance as soon as she entered.

I pressed the number four; it looks like I need to hide at the top first.

On the south side, Mei Mengqian took out a mask from her pocket, put on the fisherman's hat hanging around her neck, and then went inside.

"Goodness, you're the real detective."

Even with a mask and hat on, Mei Mengqian still attracts attention; she has a great presence.

However, no one dared to approach them.

Because she was wearing protective gear, Mei Mengqian wasn't afraid of being recognized. Instead of leaving the dangerous area near the entrance immediately, she bought a bag of roasted chestnuts first.

Then he turned and walked towards a less crowded area.

Li Yan clicked his tongue, then suddenly quickened his pace and turned into a takoyaki shop on the side.

In my consciousness, Hua Junshu, who had just entered and was searching for this place, happened to pass by the intersection.

Hua Junshu seemed very eager to find Li Yan. He glanced at the intersection a few times, but when he didn't see him, he went to the next intersection.

It seems she really wants to find Li Yan.

Therefore, she walked very fast, probably because she wanted to make it to the very beginning of this golden period.

No one has left the vicinity of the entrance area yet.

And the small dots displayed on the phone are exactly like that.

However, Fetion's location sharing function is not very accurate.

Although the phone shows that the two points overlap, there is a very likely wall between them.

After Hua Junshu crossed the next intersection, Li Yan immediately left with a serving of takoyaki.

Hua Junshu has already started checking each shop individually; he can no longer stay in the same place.

Fortunately, Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu were also moving closer, interfering with Hua Junshu's actions.

Li Yan easily escaped the danger zone and walked towards the center of the mall.

Mei Mengqian noticed his inclination and began to approach him, with Hua Junshu chasing after her.

However, Mengmeng had already gone to the second floor, so Li Yan wasn't worried about her.

She probably thought Li Yan would prefer the second floor, since there were many things to do there.

Mei Mengqian walked very quickly, pulling her hat down even lower.

As she watched the dots gradually overlap on her phone screen, her breathing became shallow. She hid behind a potted plant and looked around.

After observing for most of the day and finding no one there, Mei Mengqian realized that Li Yan was not on this floor.

Perhaps because her behavior was too strange, a young man mustered up the courage to come up and ask her.

"Miss, what are you doing here? Is someone trying to arrest you?"

The boy, who also appeared to be a high school student, was already envisioning a million-word scenario of a wealthy heiress running away.

There's no way around it, Mei Mengqian's aura is really intimidating.

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian glanced at him.

"No, I was playing hide-and-seek with my son."

son!

The young man was struck dumb, completely stunned. He nodded stiffly and left as if in a dream.

Li Yan, who overheard this conversation downstairs, was also speechless.

Just then, he noticed that the music playing in Jiang Yingzhu and Hua Junshu's headphones was suddenly covered by a human voice.

No, I'm here.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the earphones on Mei Mengqian's ears.

"Hahaha, son, Mengmeng, you've gone astray too!"

Jiang Yingzhu's voice continued to come out.

"I didn't see Li Yan on the fourth floor, he went to the third floor. If anyone tries to chat me up later, I'll say the same thing."

Mei Mengqian nodded. "Okay, I'm on the second floor now, and I haven't seen him."

Just then, the senior's clear, cool voice rang out.

"They should still be on the first floor. I almost caught them."

“Alright! Mengmeng, you block the elevator on the second floor, and I'll guard the elevator on the third floor. We agreed to kill Li first, and then divide the world into three.”

Hearing the same sounds transmitted from three different places within his consciousness, Li Yan's forehead twitched.

Alright, alright. I was hoping to watch the show, but now you've teamed up against me.

So all the rules were prepared for him?
Being pursued by three beautiful girls at the same time is quite lucky!

"Then I'll play along with you guys." Li Yan ate the last takoyaki, threw away the trash, stepped into the elevator, and pressed the button for basement level.

Hua Junshu soon arrived at the central area and found that Li Yan's location had not moved, and there was no one in this open area.

Immediately notify them, "There's no one on the first floor; they must be in the elevator."

"I'm already on the central elevator on the third floor!"

"I'm on the second floor."

Hua Junshu watched the elevator come down from upstairs and open in front of him, and pursed his lips.

"He must have taken the downward elevator, or gone to the fourth floor."

Jiang Yingzhu's voice came out as soon as she finished speaking.

"Not the fourth floor."

Under the bewildered gazes of a group of people, Jiang Yingzhu stepped out of the elevator and released the door open button.

I watched the elevator go upstairs.

"I just checked in the elevator going up to the fourth floor."

“Then I’ll go to the basement,” Hua Junshu said.

“Okay.” Jiang Yingzhu nodded. “Mengmeng, let’s not stay here any longer, otherwise Li Yan will notice something is amiss.”

"Alright, we'll take the side elevators, one person on each side, and go down to basement level to catch Li Yan!"

"Uh-huh."

Li Yan, the person being captured, bought another serving of fried skewers and wandered around the neighborhood while eating them.

In his mind's eye, the senior student had already entered the elevator, while he wandered around for a moment before sitting down in a spot that was neither too close nor too far from the elevator.

The elevator doors opened, and Hua Junshu stepped out.

Looking at the phone icon, I moved closer.

It was a corner, and it seemed that Li Yan was just behind the corner. Hua Junshu continued forward.

But as soon as he turned around, a voice rang out behind him.

"Shushu, I've found you."

Upon hearing this, Hua Junshu stiffened, turned her head, and found Li Yan beside her.

At the same time, she also saw the shop around the corner, a place that served crispy rice, with its doors open on both sides of the corner. No wonder it could deceive people.

"Shushu, what do you have to say if you get caught?"

Upon hearing the voice coming through the earphones, Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu both swallowed hard, not daring to utter a single sound.

She was afraid that Li Yan would discover the sound leakage from the headphones.

They didn't even care about Li Yan's sudden change of heart.

At the same time, they felt a little panicked.

It's unclear whether Li Yan's capture of the senior was a coincidence or if he had already discovered their little scheme.

Hua Junshu, caught off guard by the question, blinked and finally said calmly:
"I am a pig,"

This sentence drew surprised glances from many boys and girls around them.

How could someone say such a thing in a place like this?

"Hmm, good, it's enough that you know who you are."

Li Yan nodded and patted her shoulder with a smile.

"Now you're mine, so you have to help me catch people."

"it is good."

"Damn it, there's a mole! End the call!"

Jiang Yingzhu took out her phone, quickly ended the group call, and sent a message to Mengmeng.

Damn it, just before I hung up, I overheard my senior saying—

"Mengmeng is on the second floor, Zhuzhu is on the third floor, and so are we."

That's it, she's confessed to everything.

Jiang Yingzhu didn't want to shout those words. She rolled her eyes and went to a store on the third floor.

There are lockers here.

Jiang Yingzhu took a receipt from the central control panel, opened the cabinet door, but put nothing in it.

Instead, they just wandered around the area, watching Mengmeng's location point begin to move further away from Li Yan and the other person.

Seeing that Li Yan and the other person were flanking them, Mengmeng went to take the elevator. I wonder if she can escape.

She probably won't come to the third floor; if she did, I wouldn't be able to save her.

It's kind of boring not to start a voice call with Mengmeng.

As Jiang Yingzhu was thinking, she suddenly noticed that Li Yan's dot was getting closer to her.

She was startled, and didn't care whether it was true or not.

I rushed to the locker with the receipt and swiped the card to open the locker I had been using.

Then he took another ticket and put his phone in the new locker.

He turned around, ran into the women's restroom next door, and secretly observed.

The rules do not allow people to remain still for extended periods.

But it's fine for a short time.

Jiang Yingzhu hid by the toilet entrance, looking out from a vantage point, and silently counted down in her mind.

A few middle-aged women queuing to use the restroom nearby were puzzled, thinking she was uncomfortable waiting in line, so they kindly said, "Young lady, if you can't hold it in, just cut in line, I'll let you."

"It's almost her turn," said an auntie who was about to be called.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu was taken aback, then smiled and shook her head.

"No need, Auntie, I'm hiding from people, playing games with them."

"Oh, oh." The older woman didn't quite understand, but chose to respect it.

Jiang Yingzhu hid for ten minutes before finally coming out.

I swiped the locker to open it and took out my phone to check.

Mengmeng is still running, that's great!

On the third floor, Mei Mengqian walked into a mini karaoke room, thinking to herself that no one would know she was coming to the men's clothing area.

Jiang Yingzhu saw that Mengmeng was not moving, but Li Yan and the other person were still approaching her, guessing that she was probably going downstairs or upstairs.

She thought for a moment, then moved closer, intending to use this to confuse Li Yan and the other man.

Make them think they are going to fight back against the arrest.

When I arrived there, I found a spacious terrace. Further inside, there were two mini karaoke machines and several massage chairs.

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes darted around. "If I hide inside, no one will be able to find me!"

One was already in use, so she went into another mini karaoke machine and, like the other one, pulled the curtain closed.

Downstairs, Li Yan observed this scene with his divine sense and was somewhat speechless.

He called Hua Junshu over, and with her in tow, Li Yan went straight up to the third floor.

Headed towards the karaoke machine.

"Hehe! They're coming, but they probably don't know which floor I'm on, so they can't see me!"

Mei Mengqian thought to herself with delight that she was a genius.

Just then, she faintly heard Zhu Zhu's voice.

She was startled and turned the volume down, curling up as she eavesdropped with a serious expression.

"I'm a pig! How did you find me?!"

"careful."

"hateful!"

"Stop yelling, go check the other karaoke machine."

"Who wants to listen to you?"

"You are mine now."

"Humph!"

Mei Mengqian felt the person approaching, and her heart jumped into her throat.

She drew the curtains tightly shut, ignoring the knocking at the door.

It looks like it's raining.

The ringing of her cell phone instantly exposed her.

Jiang Yingzhu's surprised voice came from outside.

"Mengmeng, what are you doing here!"

Mei Mengqian came out helplessly and glanced at Jiang Yingzhu outside.

"I can't run anymore."
