Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Li Huoyue pulled out a few more books from the bookshelf behind the third brother. The layout of the books was similar to the book he had just thrown to the fourth brother, but the content they covered was very broad.

From biology to selected essays or astronomy encyclopedia, Li Huoyue's scalp tingled when reading them.

So many "banned books" are just left at home, aren't they afraid...

Right.

Li Huoyue figured out why it was chosen to be placed here.

On the one hand, it was because "the light is darkest", and on the other hand, once his father was no longer the special inspector, no one in the Li family could escape.

We're all going to die anyway, so we might as well just leave it here.

Seeing Li Huoyue so absorbed in reading, the others were also attracted over.

The second one was the closest, and he pulled out a book, which turned out to be exactly what he wanted.

"Ha! Sure enough!" The second brother flipped open the book with both hands, his joy evident in words. "It's right here, the discussion on the market and morality. I was only halfway through reading when they urged me to leave. It was as if they were afraid that if I walked too slowly, their base would be burned down."

Li Huoyue: “…” Some things only need to be said once.

"This is interesting, the limited ways to obtain information." The fourth brother also came over and picked up a book at random according to his first impression. As a result, the book attracted his attention from the very beginning.

Li Huoyue seemed to be thinking about something, how could it just happen to be what they were interested in?

Asked: "Did you just pick it up?"

The fourth child answered while reading a book: "What do you mean casually? This is my favorite book. I didn't expect it to become even better!"

Li Huoyue doesn't have a favorite book. The few books she just picked out at random are not only ones she has read in modern times, but she is not very interested in them either.

The eldest brother also came, but he did not immediately take the book. Instead, he looked inside the bookshelf and said, "Fourth brother, are there any paintings hanging behind your bookshelf?"

The fourth brother was reluctant to put down the book in his hand, but since it was his eldest brother who asked the question, he had to temporarily move his eyes away from the book and look behind the bookshelf.

He took out a dozen more books and found that there was indeed a painting behind the bookshelf.

He hurriedly called several other people to come and study together.

Several people took turns to peek into the small space that had been vacated.

The viewing angle through the gap was too limited. Several people looked at it for a long time but couldn't make out what it was. There were red dots and squares on it, which looked like annotations or key pictures.

Li Huoyue asked the third and fourth brothers to move the bookshelf away to reveal the full view of the back. It was impossible for just a few people to guess what was going on.

The third and fourth brothers were the youngest present except for Li Huoyue. The fifth brother was not here today, and there was no one else to serve, so they had to stand symmetrically on either side of the bookshelf.

Although they are twins with identical faces, they are easily distinguishable when they stand together.

Although they quarreled all the time and looked down on each other, when they worked together, they showed the tacit understanding that is unique to twins.

There was almost no need to call out one, two, three. After the two stood still, they lifted up with force at the same time, moved to the right together, and let go at the same time, just as they had agreed beforehand, without any error, as if they were afraid that they would suffer a loss even if they were a second late.

As the two of them moved, the things hidden behind the bookshelf gradually came to light.

A map.

Map of Southland.

"Where... where did this thing come from?" The boss saw something was wrong at first glance, "How come there are city defenses and secret passages?!"

The second brother nodded, his tone heavy with a hint of ridicule: "It's really weird that our entire family hasn't been executed yet."

Li Huoyue deeply agreed.

The third and fourth brothers also stood together with a few others, lined up in a row, and carefully looked at the detailed map of the South.

"What are these red dots?" asked the third brother.

The red dots are not evenly distributed. They can be found in the southeast, northwest, and northeast of the inner and outer cities, but there are obviously fewer in the east and more in the south.

"There's nothing in the northwest corner of the inner city." The boss pointed out the special spot, "This is the imperial palace."

"But there are blocks." The fourth brother pointed to the location of the palace and then pointed his finger to the east. "The situation in the east forest is the same. There are many blocks, but no red dots."

"What about the five-pointed star and triangle?" The second brother was not concerned about the majority, but the two shapes with the least number. "There are only six places marked with these shapes, and our Li Mansion is one of them, which has a five-pointed star marked on it."

"We have a red dot in our mansion!" The third brother said happily, as if it was some kind of commendation. "Chulou also has this red dot, there are several, and there are also squares!"

Li Huoyue frowned. Could this thing represent a time traveler?

There is something special about the Li Mansion.

She followed the direction of the path and looked towards Huang Ruchu's mansion, and sure enough, there was a red dot there.

Looking towards the Sang Mansion, there was one too.

How come there is only one Sang Mansion?

Shouldn't they be two time travelers?

Li Huoyue was analyzing step by step when he suddenly heard Lao Er ask again:

"What's the situation in Li Wang Mansion?"

Li Huoyue came back to his senses, looked in the direction of Lao Er's finger, and was also a little surprised.

In the small Li Wang Mansion, all the icons are gathered together!

Li Huoyue couldn't help but repeat the second brother's words: "What's going on in the Li Palace?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no conclusion was reached.

Although the background color of the paper was yellowish, it was obviously new paper. Everyone at the scene could guess that it was left by the mother, but no one knew what its purpose was.

"Why don't we go to Prince Li's Mansion to find out?" The fourth brother suggested, "If we know the situation in Prince Li's Mansion, we may understand mother's intentions."

Li Huoyue focused his eyes and followed the real route in his mind. Starting from Li Mansion on the map, he walked to every place with an icon on the map one by one. He memorized the map by using the actual terrain and impressions.

"I'm afraid we can't keep this map." Li Huoyue said, reaching out to take the map down.

The second brother suddenly reached out and stopped Li Huoyue's behavior.

Li Huoyue looked up at the second brother, who was a head taller than him, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you stopping me? Do you think the heads of our Li family are enough to be chopped off?"

"Don't panic yet." The second brother seemed to be thinking about something. Ever since he had attended the Alliance class, he felt that the appearance of this picture was not that simple. "Are you sure this picture is left for us to see?"

Li Huoyue was stunned. This was something she had not thought about.

There were only these people in the Li Mansion, and her first reaction was not to leave it for them alone, but to leave it for her, Li Huoyue.

But the second brother’s consideration is not unreasonable.

The third brother disagreed. In his mind, this study was no different from a secret base. "Second brother, what you said is wrong... In this study, besides us, is there anyone else who can come in?"
