Chapter 65: Hes scarier than a ghost!
The moment Wuji Gu picked up the hoe, he felt a force that could almost crush an ordinary person, almost as if the weight of several people were invisibly pressing on the hoe.
However, for Wuji Gu, this strength was nothing, so he just picked up the hoe with ease.
Older people: "......"
At the same time Wuji Gu turned his head to look at the old man, his eyes also carried a strong color of indignation, so that the latter's body stiffened, was afraid to move back a little pace.
"How can you let such an old man do such hard work, where are the young people?" Wuji Gu patted the old man's shoulder, "What a filial disobedience."
The old man could not help but be silent at this point, with a bit of pain in his eyes, and sighed, "They are no longer there."
Wuji Gu suddenly realized that he might have touched the sadness of the other party, and quickly comforted the old man, at the same time, he also moved uninterruptedly in the field, according to this speed is expected to soon be able to plow the surrounding open space to finish.
Others: "......" What is this development, why do they have the feeling of crossing into some program about the elderly left behind in a trance!
Among the players, one young man's eyes darkened. Apart from Yunxiu Qi and Wuji Gu, this young man named Cheng Xiao is arguably the most charismatic and charismatic person among the other players, naturally gaining the support of other players.
At this point, Cheng Xiao looked at Wuji Gu's gloomy line of sight with a little surprise.
He entered the copy by chance and advanced copy of the organization to hook up, from the other side to get more detailed information about this copy ......
In the information provided by the other side, this old man is the first difficult level in this copy, and he will surely let the passing players to help him.
But this is a dead end, after all, help ghosts work which is not so easy, unless the player is lucky enough to have enough stamina after such a long rush, in order to successfully get out of ...... after plowing the land, otherwise, if the land is not finished before dark, the face is death.
But this man actually rushed up on his own! Not only did he rush up, but he even had such amazing stamina? Even have the leisure to talk to the old man?
It seems that this person is not the kind of person who is presumptuous, on the contrary, maybe he is also extremely deep-rooted in mind.
Cheng Xiao has decided to be careful about what he does to this Shi Sun person, so as not to be unaware of the pitfalls, but other ordinary players can take advantage of it.
It's just as well that Yunxiu Qi, a notorious person, has appeared in this copy, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to enlist the other players so easily.
After Wuji Gu quickly finished his work in the field, the old man looked at him with a bit of admiration and praised him, probably saying that he didn't expect young people in the city to be so physically active nowadays and to do things so quickly.
"If my daughter ......" the old man said here, seems to think of something sad again, also stop saying, after that only to look at the crowd, spoke: "You come to this village to do what? Outsiders are not casually able to come in ...... moreover it is still a special time for the ceremony to be held, the people of the village will not let you in at all, it is better to leave quickly."
Wuji Gu keenly aware that the old man when talking about that ritual, the look with a few complex, although with pain and hate, but some guilt.
Others heard here are also tight in their hearts, they more or less know something, it seems that now should be the time to hold the ceremony in this village.
If it is in reality, these people will not go into such a bizarre village even if they sleep in the mountains, but at this time the main task requires, they can not even if they do not die.
"Old man, there is no other place we can go now." Cheng Xiao immediately stepped forward and spoke in a very self-effacing manner, "If you can, please also take us into the village, we are just staying for a few days and then leave."
The old man swept him a faint glance, not meaning to answer at all, but looked at Wuji Gu next to him, as if he would only listen to Wuji Gu's words. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Cheng Xiao, who had a nose to the grindstone, just shook his head, and other players following him immediately went forward to comfort him, saying that it must be a problem with the settings of the copy and had nothing to do with Cheng Xiao himself. As for the Shi Sun got the goodwill of this NPC is purely blind cat met dead mouse, who knows just a little farming will have such a reward ah! If I had known that, they would have gone to the farm.
"There is indeed no other place we can go." Wuji Gu looked at the old man and spoke sincerely, "I can only trouble you ......"
The old man just shook his head when he saw this and sighed again, "Since you insist, come with me."
The crowd followed, and Yunxiu Qi behind all of them went to touch the hoe on the ground, with a slight look of surprise in his eyes.
--------
The crowd didn't have to walk long before they entered the confines of the village. This place is filled with a feeling of dilapidation, looks very desolate, and even makes people doubt whether there are people living there or not.
Everywhere you look, there are buildings with closed doors and windows, not even a sound. It's just getting dark now, so it's reasonable that it shouldn't be resting so early.
As for the red light they saw before, it was from the red lanterns hanging outside these buildings, and because of that, they were barely able to see the village road.
"You had all better not make a sound." The old man so cautioned. The crowd, still fearful of him, immediately nodded their heads.
Walking a little further up the road, the spooky feeling became even stronger. In the village, which looks like it has been abandoned, there are red silk and red lanterns hanging everywhere, but this should be festive things here but people feel creepy.
Wuji Gu looked at the next has been understood almost, this is estimated to hold the system tips in the medieval wedding and prepared.
"Old man, are you holding some kind of happy event here?" Wuji Gu inquired.
The old man's face suddenly ugly a few, his look is quite complex, with a few moments of fear, and also mixed with a little intolerance, and finally a tone of avoidance: "This is not something you people outside should be involved in! Rest tonight and hurry up tomorrow."
Even Wuji Gu couldn't ask, and others naturally didn't dare to ask after seeing Cheng Xiao's previous encounter, and kept their mouths shut.
Only Yunxiu Qi, who was following behind, looked at the road around here, his face already took on a few serious colors, and finally spoke coldly: "These lanterns are best not to touch."
"Why?" Immediately, a male who looked like a student whispered, and was scared to take a step back after being swept by Yunxiu Qi, but Cheng Xiao gave him another encouraging glance, and he instantly gathered his courage, "Who knows if you want to get us killed to say something like that!"
"Heh." Yunxiu Qi eyes with a sneer, "Then I won't stop you guys from touching if you want to."
The others immediately did not dare to speak, how could they rashly touch those bizarre things before checking things out ah.
Wuji Gu in looking at the surrounding environment, there is a kind of steep feeling of being noticed by what strong sight, immediately turned his head, it was seen around these buildings, a house window has been gently pushed open part of the time, a pair of eyes from the gap straight measuring him, with a sense of gloomy and horrible, behind all the people who also noticed this scene are backwards sucked a breath.
But when he wanted to look more seriously, the window closed directly, as if what he had just seen was a dream.
"Old man, this family is?" Wuji Gu, in the fine tradition of asking questions when he has something to say.
The old man shook his head and simply whispered, "Don't look, it's not something you should be concerned about."
Wuji Gu Instead, he turned his head again and looked at it. Just that pair of eyes, although it gives a frightening feeling, but he always felt ...... himself as if he saw a plea for help from it.
......
The crowd spanned almost the entire village before arriving at their destination, which was a brick house with a mountain wall behind it, slightly away from the other buildings, already looking very dilapidated and with no red lanterns hanging above it. The old man pushed the door open and let the crowd in.
The inside is very consistent with the exterior and is also very dilapidated, and the furniture inside creaks when you sit on it.
"There are three rooms here, so pick any place you want to rest." The old man himself hunched over and walked to a side room, looking as if he had become even older, and closed the door with difficulty.
The other people, however, did not relax in the slightest and all looked very grave. After closing the door, from the small window inside the house can see the outside world is dark, the fog also filled over, they obviously can not go out.
"Don't be so worried, everyone." Cheng Xiao stood up at this point and looked at the crowd and said, "We are all people who have broken through so many copies, even if we encounter danger, we are capable of dealing with it."
The others eased up when they heard this, and only Yunxiu Qi went into a side room with a grunt.
They did not dare to eat the food in this house, are taking out their own dry food in the backpack to eat up.
"I believe that everyone purchased information about this copy before entering it, so why don't we all open up now and share the clues we learned." Cheng Xiao spoke again, "This will increase our chances of escaping."
The others certainly don't see any problem with this and have opened their mouths to say what they know. Of course at times like this, it is not certain if anyone is holding back or simply saying something that is false.
"I got the news is that this village had a tragic case decades ago, and even sensationalized the outside world. But in the end, it was an unresolved matter, and even the village and the outside world have even less contact ......"
"So it seems that there must be a connection between this tragedy and the evil spirits we will encounter in this copy." Wuji Gu subconsciously spoke up, "But no more details?"
"No, no." The person froze and subconsciously said what Wuji Gu had said, "It was just a piece of news that was passed over in the newspaper."
Cheng Xiao's heart suddenly rose with a sense of crisis: "?" What happened, this Shi Sun even stole his words?
"It was mentioned here that this village seems to be able to communicate with ghosts and gods? In the past when it was still extremely feudal and superstitious, a lot of people from other villages would come here to invite people. It's just that it's gone now." Another person spoke.
"So that's it." Wuji Gu added: "The information I have learned here is that the ceremony that takes place in this village at regular intervals is that of a medieval marriage."
Others have looked at Wuji Gu, with different looks, and their minds have started to wander. After all, these two words really carry too many horror colors.
"My side of the tip is that you can walk in the outside world at night if you take off the red lantern." A young girl spoke timidly.
Only then did the crowd realize that this young girl, who seemed to be very introverted before and didn't talk much to outsiders, actually looked very beautiful ...... although it was not as good as Shi Sun was.
Although they previously felt Shi Sun is not a brain problem, but his face value that is absolutely nothing to say. Let the people just look are pleasing to the eye, unconsciously to him more good feeling ...... not to mention that now the other side of the speech feel justified, the whole person are reliable much.
"So it seems very likely that we will encounter an operation that will require us to go out at night." Cheng Xiao spoke up, fearing that Wuji Gu would steal the show again. Cheng Xiao busy to speak, afraid to be Wuji Gu stole the line, a team does not need two leaders, "but we do not know this red lantern in the end should not take, after all Yunxiu Qi said before that kind of words ...... "
As he speaks, his eyes look suggestively at Wuji Gu again.
The others then remembered that Wuji Gu was still Yunxiu Qi's teammate and subconsciously moved a little further away from him.
"Do you have any opinion, Shi Sun?" Cheng Xiao's heart burst with amusement, but the surface was very sincere attitude.
Wuji Gu also felt that this Cheng Xiao person is also quite good, immediately said: "I think can not take."
"Why?" Cheng Xiao was a bit surprised, he knew something inside to know that he should not take this lantern, and that Yunxiu Qi obviously saw something with those eyes, but this Shi Sun and why?
"Intuition." Wuji Gu opened his mouth.
The others were expecting Wuji Gu to deliver some exciting reasoning process, but they were disappointed to find that it was only two short words.
Cheng Xiao's heart became more and more afraid, feeling that Shi Sun is several times more troublesome than Yunxiu Qi, and this ability to play dumb is also absolute, as if he really just use intuition.
"It's getting late, let's get some rest." Cheng Xiao said, "Lest we get up the next day and have no energy."
Wuji Gu is just carrying out his persona of being a good person, and it's extremely normal for him to say things like shushing others ......
As the two talked, they happened to meet a few villagers on the road, and they instantly revealed a look of disgust and fear, and left.
"It seems that these people hate outsiders." Wuji Gu opened his mouth and spoke.
"How normal is this." Yunxiu Qi said, "After all, with outsiders, the unseemly things in their village may be exposed."
"And it's also possible that we're going to be pulled in to play some role in the ceremony, and that's why they don't want to get close." Wuji Gu said so.
At that moment, another woman steeply appeared in front, the other hand carrying a basket fell to the ground, which contained vegetables spilled all over the floor.
Wuji Gu immediately rushed forward with quick steps, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
The other party just showed resistance, before you can do anything, Wuji Gu has already hand and foot to help her to fill all the dishes, and also showed a gentle smile, a pair of eyes as if containing star seeds, "Now it does not matter."
The impact of this beauty was too intense for her sister-in-law, and her previously resistant look disappeared quite a bit, only to take a slight step back and say to Wuji Gu, "Outsiders like you, better leave quickly."
After saying that, she left in a hurry, as if she would be in danger if she said one more word to Wuji Gu.
Yunxiu Qi watched from behind, he originally did not want to move with Wuji Gu, but who knows why, he just wanted to watch what this guy was really going to do.
Then Yunxiu Qi saw how Wuji Gu was doing good work all over this village .......
Even when someone's house was in disrepair, Wuji Gu volunteered to help build the wall. As for the ordinary vegetable picking and planting, not to mention ...... obviously other village people are cold-hearted, but this does not hinder Wuji Gu's enthusiasm in any way.
And also completely can not see his enthusiasm of the disguised components in it, completely like from the heart in good deeds.
Obviously in this copy where you can die if you're not careful, investigation is the most valuable, but this guy actually spends all this time doing that!
Yunxiu Qi walked over and spoke: "Even if you help these NPCs, it won't be of any use, and when this copy is going to end, it will be good if they don't return the favor."
He doesn't even know why he said what he did, maybe he just couldn't look away.
At first Yunxiu Qi thought Wuji Gu was a deep thinker, but after spending time together like this, he realized that this guy was just a fool!
"I just wanted to do it, and I didn't think these people would give anything back." Wuji Gu said, originally a man who respects the old and the young.
"This place is just a copy." Yunxiu Qi saw him like this, there is a kind of inexplicable anger, can't help but say: "These villagers are more than likely just ghosts, you actually want to help these ghosts?"
"And what's wrong with that?" Wuji Gu spoke with some surprise: "The world of these copies is also a world, right? Besides, does doing a good deed discriminate against ghosts?"
By Wuji Gu so look, Yunxiu Qi a time actually a few shame, feel that they discriminate against ghosts is really a too wrong thing ...... no, who the hell would want to help the ghosts in the copy ah!
The two just prepared to hit the road without investigating anything.
As he passed the building he had passed last night, Wuji Gu felt the sight of his own eyes again, and turned his head, but could only see the window that had been steeply drawn shut.
Finally the two went back to the village head to their accommodation, and on the way to see only just dark, all of them hit the road back to the house, even anything with light will not be used, the whole village is only the red light when the lanterns are lit.
This is indeed a new house, and other old and dilapidated houses look completely different. Even the furniture inside is more modern, of course electricity that is not.
Just somehow, the whole layout of the house gives a sense of suffocation, always makes people feel where strange.
In the face of other people's eyes that you must know a lot, Yunxiu Qi is actually a long-lost feeling of shame, he simply did not investigate anything today.
Out of a delicate mood, he sat down in the corner of the hall and did not go straight to his room as he had done in the past.
After all, it was only the second day. The others didn't investigate much. They basically just walked around the village.
As for the cave there are villagers guarding, they do not dare to tear the village people now, so they have to play around.
"Although you can't go to the cave, but not far behind where we lived before ...... is actually a mass grave." One person spoke with trepidation, "There are many lonely graves inside that do not know their identity. We did not dare to go over, so we came back first."
The others all sucked in a breath of cold air, they actually slept last night next to a mass grave, so to speak actually only one person died are feeling very lucky.
"I don't really think that this place will be any safer than next to a mass grave." Yunxiu Qi words with a bit of sarcasm.
"Everyone should not be so nervous." Cheng Xiao hurriedly said, "Let's all sleep together in the living room tonight and find another person to keep watch, it will definitely be fine."
"Make yourselves at home. But from the looks of yesterday, I don't think these ghosts are going to get us in one breath. It's probably going to follow a frequency of getting one or two dead a day."
Yunxiu Qi sneered and dropped a frightening remark, then looked at Wuji Gu again before going into a side room.
Wuji Gu did not know why, he did not know what Yunxiu Qi was looking at him.
Everyone is relieved, where they dare to let this person watch the night ah, may wake up on everyone is destroyed.
Wuji Gu thought about staying outside, which caused him to encounter Yunxiu Qi's cold stare while washing up.
Wuji Gu was again at a loss, but Yunxiu Qi was already an unpredictable person to him, so now he simply did not think about what he really meant.
The people washed up and took their bedding and lay down in the hall to sleep.
Cheng Xiao, after all, was still very afraid of Wuji Gu, so he scheduled his vigil until almost dawn, for fear of sleeping at night by Wuji Gu poisoning.
Wuji Gu was touched by this and felt that Cheng Xiao was so kind that he wanted to let him sleep a little more.
Cheng Xiao faced Wuji Gu's remark and just laughed a few times.
Unlike other people who were still on edge and couldn't sleep at all, Wuji Gu went straight to sleep and fell asleep within a few breaths, making the others jealous.
............
......
He entered this village once again from outside the village in the dream world.
It seemed to be nighttime, and a blood moon was hanging in the sky. The village was also lit up with red lanterns, and Wuji Gu was walking along the village road.
At some point, the fog rose around him, while he was like in a long line, all in front of people, but could not see who they really were, only a few blurred shadows.
Wuji Gu does not remember at all what he came here to do, why he had to queue here ...... he only felt that it was all as if he was supposed to do it.
But at that moment, a cold hand suddenly rested on his shoulder, waking Wuji Gu from this state.
The female ghost in the red wedding dress appeared abruptly behind him.
Wuji Gu turned his head, obviously the two were close to each other, but the other's face was like a foggy layer of indistinguishable.
The other side of the body came together, at this time the fog seems to have finally dissipated a little.
Wuji Gu saw, is a pair of with a few blood, but clear to the eyes.
The female ghost whispered a few words to Wuji Gu, as if to remind him.
............
......
Wuji Gu snapped open his eyes and felt a cold breeze blowing outside the window onto his face. Immediately afterwards, he saw a shocking scene.
In the midst of this hall, the others were asleep to death at some point. And the man who was supposed to keep watch, also fell unconscious on the table.
The scary thing is that from outside the window, which was open at some point, a dry and withered hand, completely unlike a living hand, long and twisted, was reaching out towards the body of the player lying nearest the window.
Its body outside the window almost into the darkness, completely invisible, even the red light of the outside world can not show it the body, can only see a pair of crimson let people tingling eyes.
It can be imagined that if this player is really caught by this black shadow, the consequence will certainly be as the player who died yesterday, all the blood in his body will be drained and die a violent death.
Wuji Gu at this moment, without even thinking about it, directly up, and then took out a long time since the use of the kitchen knife, the movement of fast rushed over, and violently cut at the hand.
The black shadows outside the window were instantly startled by the sudden mangling of the people who came over, the movement was a beat, and when it realized to draw back the hand, the arm has been Wuji Gu gave a fierce slash.
Outside immediately came a mournful scream, the black shadow in horror, will be their hands completely retracted, run that is no trace.
The other players were then awakened by the screams, especially the night watchman who was simply so incomparably horrified that he didn't know when he had fallen asleep.
The crowd was just in time to see the last scene, Wuji Gu holding a blood-dripping kitchen knife, while the outside world seems to have a black shadow wolf away.
Under the red light of the lantern, the Wuji Gu in this picture is even more frightening than the ghost itself.
The crowd looked at Wuji Gu with trepidation, "???"
What is this, what is this? They just slept for a while?
" Shi Sun, what is going on?" Cheng Xiao looked at the fury of the kitchen knife, could not help but wipe the forehead cold sweat, tone are subconsciously softened a lot, "just that run away is what?"
"I don't know." Wuji Gu shook his head, "I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and saw a dry hand poking in from outside, and trying to grab him ......"
The player being looked at by Wuji Gu was already bloodless, feeling like he was just a hair's breadth away from death, and then his eyes were filled with gratitude. As long as he had the mind of a normal person, he knew that he had been saved by Wuji Gu.
"Then I got up, I wanted to cut off a hand to see, but I didn't expect the guy to react in time, and it finally ran away after only one cut." Wuji Gu's tone still carries a bit of regret.
The crowd: "???" What's your fucking tone, that's a suspected evil spirit existence, you fucking say it's as easy as killing a chicken.
