Chapter 246 246. Strange Village (9)
——Huh? Does this old woman know that she is dead?
——No wonder she is not afraid of 123 them.
——The old lady died before Pei Hong and Jing Feng. At that time, not many people died in the village, and the wizards had not yet used witchcraft.
——But after the wizard used witchcraft, the old woman became like everyone else.
——Yes, shouldn’t the old lady be gone? How come he has become like a living person?
The old lady took a sip of water and continued to tell the story.
"On the second day after Pei Hong and Jing Feng were burned to death, people began to fall ill and dying one after another in the village. There were more than a dozen people on the first day, and on the second day, people began to fall ill. There were even more people. Rumors began to spread in the village that Pei Hong and Jing Feng were wronged, and those who fell ill in the village were all people who had gone to see the sacrifice that day. Some people also said that these people would die sooner or later because of Pei Hong. Hong and Jing Feng hated everyone who watched them being burned to death.
The patriarch was also ill at the time, but he soon recovered after hearing the rumors in the village. There is a miracle doctor in the family who can cure the diseases of people in the village, so everyone should not spread rumors. From that day on, the wizard really cured everyone's diseases, and the rumors in the village gradually disappeared."
"Actually, Those people are dead, right?" Lin Xi asked. "The wizard just used witchcraft to make them look alive."
"Yes, many people in the village are dead, and most of those who are alive have never been to the sacrifice," the old woman said. "Maybe it's because I died just a few days ago, but I still feel like a living person, able to live under the sun. However, many people in the village know that I am dead, so I usually don't go out," the old woman said.
"Isn't anyone coming to your house?" Dayang asked. "When we came, the door was open."
"Because there are other people living in this home, no one will suspect if the door is open." The old lady said. "But he is not here today and has gone out to work. If he comes back, he will buy a lot of food for the two of us."
"Will people in the village go out to work?" Lu Yuan asked .
"Like you, he sees people outside as human beings. During the years when the accident happened, he was away from home and didn't know what was happening in the village. When he came back last year, his parents and family said he was a ghost and drove him away After he came out, he came to live with me," the old lady said. "He also knew the truth of the matter. He even cried when he learned that his family members were probably gone."
"Grandma, do you like your current life, or..." Li Tiantian asked.
——Li Tiantian, if grandma said that she likes her current life, wouldn’t you want to clear the level?
——But if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to help asking.
——I actually feel that being dead is almost the same as being alive, which is quite good.
——It’s just an illusion. In fact, they are still dead.
"What's so good about this kind of life?" the old lady said with a smile. "I knew I was dead and should have been reincarnated a long time ago, but I was left here. However, other people in the village didn't know that I was dead. They must like their current life."
"Every year By sacrificing two men and women, no one in the village will die in revenge, right?" Lin Xi asked. "The patriarch is not afraid that the men and women who were sacrificed will come back to seek revenge on him."
"He has a wizard by his side. What bad things can he not dare to do?" said the old woman.
"If we go out at night, the surviving people in the village won't think of us as ghosts, right?" Xiaodong asked.
"Yes." said the old lady. "As long as you are a foreigner, if you are seen at night, you will be regarded as a ghost. Even if you meet people during the day, he will think that you are a ghost. Moreover, the wizard also gave everyone a kind of water and poured it on you. It will disappear without a trace.”
——Hahahaha I kind of want to laugh.
——What are you laughing at?
——The water in this game is really versatile, even NPCs use it.
——Player: Retribution, the almighty water, it is finally my turn to deal with myself.
——Hahahahahahahaha, if you don’t tell me, I still don’t think it’s funny.
——Is it funny? How funny. "It seems that we really can't go out at night." Dayang said.
"So, grandma, you want witchcraft to disappear and let the village return to its original appearance, right?" Lin Xi asked.
"People and ghosts live in different paths and always live together. Big problems will occur. It is better to return to the bridge and return to the bridge." said the old lady. "Besides, the clan leader, wizard and the clan leader's minions have done too many bad things and deserve to die."
"Okay, grandma." Guo Yuelang said immediately. "We got it."
——So, this old lady is the NPC who issued the mission!
——The old lady is the only one who knows all the truth, and she should be the NPC who issued the task.
——Is it possible that the NPC that releases tasks is not only the old lady, but also releases different tasks, so you can see which one you encounter?
——Is it so complicated?
——Have you watched too many copies of Gongdou? It’s usually a single task!
——There is also the task of confusing people, palace fighting is nothing.
——A confusing mission? Talk about it in detail.
——I don’t dare to go into details, for fear of deducting money.
——If it is detailed, it may not be as simple as deducting money.
"Okay, it's getting late, I have to rest, you should also rest early!" The old woman said, stood up, and walked towards the house. "It's pitiful. Two more people will be sacrificed tomorrow. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Speaking of which, if they are burned, they will already be the eighth couple to be sacrificed."
Lin Xi immediately looked at Guo Yuelang: "Have you ever encountered such a side mission? Want to save people?"
"No, mine is different!" Guo Yuelang shook his head.
Of course Lin Xi knew, she just asked it deliberately.
"Although most of the people who went to see the sacrifice couldn't see us, the clan leader, the wizard and a few minions could all see us!" Li Tiantian said.
"There is no other way, use props!" Path Yuan said. "It's not convenient for us to go out at night. We accidentally lose our minds."
"Okay, let's go to the toilet later and discuss the details of rescuing people." Lin Xi said.
——123, there is no need to hide the players from us who are not fighting against you this time.
——It doesn’t matter if you hide it from us, there is no need to say it directly.
——It doesn’t matter if you say it directly, there is no need to smile at us.
"I'm afraid if you know it in advance, you will feel bored tomorrow." Lin Xi smiled even happier in the live broadcast room.
Several people left as soon as they were told and immediately headed to the toilet.
As soon as I walked to the toilet door, the live broadcast room disappeared instantly.
"I'll go, it's quite humane. I thought we were going to have a meaningful conversation." Xiaodong said with a smile.
Actually, the toilet is not dirty inside, it is just like a big pit like before. After using the toilet, fill the hole with soil, which can be used as fertilizer in the future.
“Let’s talk about any props that can save people first!” Lin Xi said. "I only have a hammer to use, and Xinxin has no props to use."
