My chat group is full of female losers - Chapter 301 Dragnet

Inside the Yangxin Palace, Chu Lu's expression was calm.

"This heroine's aura is really powerful." Chu Lu sighed, "The whole city is under martial law, and with such a tight net, she can't be found."

Qin Su's voice rang in his mind: "There's nothing we can do about it. The heroine's aura will subtly influence the surrounding environment and people, making their actions smoother. Conventional search methods will often have a greatly reduced effect on them."

"So what do you think we should do?" Chu Lu asked, "We can't just let her get away with it in the capital, right? I don't want to be scolded to death."

Chu Lu rubbed his brows and said, "How about this, we simply set up a reward and mobilize civilian forces?"

Qin Su shook her head: "Ordinary people will be in no different situation when facing her abilities. This cannot be solved by just piling up numbers."

Chu Lu frowned when he heard this. He proposed a few more ideas, but they were all rejected.

He could only remain silent, and the hall fell into silence again, with only the occasional bird calls coming from outside the window.

"How about what?"

Chu Lu continued, "Didn't we capture the follower of the heroine Si Ren, the girl named Xiao Cui?"

Qin Su thought for a moment and said, "You want to use her as bait?"

"That's right." Chu Lu nodded. "Use her as bait, set a trap, and lure Si Ren into the trap! Will this work?"

Chu Lu, do you remember what I told you before? The core of a female protagonist is to be loved. A female protagonist who is not loved has no value in existence, so they must have a licking dog around them. If they lose this anchor point, they will perish directly. "

Chu Lu nodded, of course he remembered.

"So it works?" he asked.

"Luring Si Ren here is indeed feasible. However," Qin Su changed the subject, "the problem is, what kind of trap can be set to catch Si Ren? After all, she is the heroine and her abilities are strong enough. Ordinary means may not be effective."

"For example?" Qin Su asked.

Chu Lu stood up, paced a few steps in the hall, and began to elaborate on his plan: "First, we need to predict Si Ren's actions. Given the arrogant and conceited personality of the heroine, once she learns that Xiao Cui is imprisoned and in danger of her life, she will most likely come to rescue her in person."

"Her plan is probably like this. First, she will most likely capture a guard outside the city like she did this time, and use her abilities to force out information about where Xiao Cui is being held and the general deployment of the defenses. Then, she will change her clothes and put on makeup to sneak in.

Then follow the shortest route you have found and head straight to the cell where Xiao Cui is imprisoned. If you encounter any living guards on the way, just talk to them. When you reach the outside of the cell, continue to use your abilities to deal with the guards, then search for the key to unlock the door.

"Judging from the general intelligence level and behavior style of the heroine," Chu Lu said in a serious tone without any joking, "she will most likely choose this simple and crude method. So we can set traps along the way."

"The first step is to choose a location for the cell." Chu Lu held up a finger. "In order to avoid accidental interference and reduce casualties to the greatest extent, we need to place Xiao Cui's cell in the most remote area. This will also make it easier to set traps."

"The second step is to dig a deep pit with falling boards." Chu Lu continued, "On the way she must pass to get to the cell, choose a narrow passage. Lay several special falling boards disguised as ordinary stone slabs on the ground. Under the falling boards is a trap that is deep enough, and the bottom of the pit is covered with sharpened hardwood stakes. Once she steps on one of them, everything will collapse, and she will be caught off guard and fall to the bottom of the pit and die." "The third step is to block the road with huge rocks." Chu Lu held up three fingers, "Above a gate she must pass, install a huge stone slab fixed with a fragile wooden bolt. The wooden bolt is painted black and integrated with the door frame, making it difficult to detect. Once she enters the gate and steps on the ground mechanism, the wooden bolt will break instantly, and the huge rock will fall down and hit Si Ren directly. Even if it doesn't hit him, it can completely block the gate and cut off his retreat."

"Step 4, a cage falls from the sky." Chu Lu gestured, "When she finally reaches the prison door and thinks she is about to succeed, a huge cage made of fine steel will quickly fall from her head, covering her tightly inside."

Chu Lu waved his hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter if it's classic or not, as long as it works. The fifth step is also the last insurance, the poison smoke bomb. The person imprisoned in the cell is not Xiao Cui, but a substitute palace maid we prepared in advance.

There were also several specially made poisonous smoke bombs hidden on the substitute maid. Once Si Ren got close, the maid would immediately throw the smoke bombs out. Once the poisonous smoke came out, she would be poisoned immediately. "

"There are so many traps," Chu Lu concluded. "Even if Si Ren can avoid one, she can't avoid all of them. Even if she can avoid all of them, the only exit is blocked by a huge rock, so she definitely can't escape."

"Of course, just in case of a small probability event such as a temporary malfunction of the mechanism, we also need to arrange an absolutely trustworthy person, such as Huo Qi, to hide in a hidden dark place in advance to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan. Of course, he must not show up to avoid being discovered by Si Ren."

"Okay! That's settled!" Chu Lu saw that Qin Su agreed, his eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Someone come!"

Upon hearing the voice, a eunuch waiting outside the palace quickly stepped inside and bowed, saying, "Your servant is here."

"Pass on my order!" Chu Lu said in a deep voice, "Say that the witch's accomplice who used Tian Li Shang to cause chaos has been captured and thrown into the prison, and will be executed soon! At the same time, order Jingzhao Prefecture to work with the Military Department to post notices, draw a picture of the witch, and offer a reward to the whole city!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

The notice board near Caishikou was always crowded with people who came to watch the fun. Today, a brand new imperial edict was solemnly posted by several officials.

"Hey, look, there's a new list!"

"What are you writing? Just keep mumbling!"

The literate man cleared his throat and read aloud: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Recently, during a field ceremony, a witch named Si Ren spoke wildly and disrupted the ceremony, causing the death of an official of the imperial court. Her crime is extremely heinous and cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth! Her accomplice, Xiao Cui, has been captured, her identity verified, and thrown into the Heavenly Prison. She will be executed at Caishikou at 3:30 pm three days later to serve as a warning to others! The witch Si Ren is still at large. Her appearance is shown below..."

"Wow, so much silver!"

"What on earth did this witch do to anger the heaven and the people? Even her accomplices should be executed!"

"I heard that he cursed and killed two high-ranking officials with his spit! It's really weird!"

The crowd was talking and spitting.

"Heavenly Prison... humph."

She snorted coldly, did not stay for long, turned around and blended into the endless stream of people, disappearing.
