"It's strange. There are people in every room, but they are all frozen in place."
"Wait, is it like that lame Zhang?"
"Uh, yes, it's stupid, like a robot, it needs clear instructions to act."
The four of them hid in the grass and exchanged the information they brought from sneaking into the villagers' homes.
What shocked them was that there were people in every house, but they didn't react at all. They just sat or stood numbly.
"OK, I think I can guess a little bit of the reason."
Isa looked serious. He had realized something was wrong after seeing Cripple Zhang yesterday, and now the strange behavior of the villagers had set off his warning bells.
"These people may no longer be alive."
Ivania, Jessica and Park Zhiyan looked at each other. They all felt incredible in their hearts, but these villagers did not seem to have any sense of autonomy.
"Listen, this village is called Jiangtou Village, and there must be people in it who know the art of lowering their heads. Maybe the village chief relies on the art of lowering his head to make these villagers into his puppets.
Right? You should also have noticed that the village chief and his grandchildren, the three of them, are normal. "
Issa suppressed the fear that made him tremble and told his teammates as completely as possible.
Before the advent of the horror game, he was just an ordinary clerk whose hobby was reading horror legends in the Asia-Pacific region.
That's why he has knowledge about these things, but it doesn't help him feel any less fearful.
Maybe he should have insisted on staying with Li Fuguang yesterday. That girl brought him a sense of security far greater than that of these three people who knew nothing.
"Then what should we do now? Do we still want to go to the ancestral hall?"
Park Ji-yeon was frightened by this terrifying possibility, and instinctively began to fear unknown places.
Ivanya's 1.9-meter-tall body was bathed in the sun, but felt the biting cold.
He finally understood what the chosen ones in the past were fighting against. Was their helpless feeling at that time the same as what he felt now?
Fear of the unknown, and a conscious step towards death.
"We have to go, we must go. If we stay here, we will die, but if we go to the ancestral hall and explore, there may be a way to survive."
Jessica answered Park Ji-yeon's question. She rarely remained calm, although her heart was not so calm.
But in their team of four, one person must stand up and regulate their emotions.
At least everyone can't slip into the abyss.
Ivania held Jessica's hand and nodded firmly. Park Zhiyan glanced at the hands they held and nodded slowly.
The three of them encouraged each other and strengthened their confidence, completely ignoring Issa beside them, as if they did not need Issa's approval, even though Issa played the biggest role among them.
"Okay, Issa, let's go."
It wasn't until she was about to leave that Ivanya called Issa.
And when the three of them walked a short distance away but didn't smell the familiar odor, they realized that Issa hadn't followed.
Ivanya turned around, but Issa was still standing there, with his head lowered, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Issa, come up! Don't be stunned."
Ivanya greeted him softly.
Issa raised her head, but did not look at him. Instead, she turned around and ran away quickly.
By the time the three of them reacted and caught up, Issa had already disappeared!
"Bah! Coward! Are you afraid when you hear that you are going to the ancestral hall?!"
Ivanya spat hard, her eyes filled with red bloodshot eyes.
Jessica and Park Ji-yeon were similar. They were both angry that Issa escaped from the battlefield, which made their exploration twice as difficult.
No one noticed that they seemed to be more angry and scared than usual, as if they were out of control.
But Issa noticed.
Obviously, when the two of them first met yesterday, everyone was very humble and friendly. Even if there were conflicts between each other's countries, they could temporarily put aside their unhappiness and form an alliance.
But after just one night, they turned into "monsters" who didn't think at all.
right! It’s a monster!
Not changing out of his clothes and eating those meals yesterday was indeed the best decision he had ever made in his life!
Issa hid behind a big tree and silently regained her strength.
Although the ancestral hall is currently the most likely place to find clues, he will not die foolishly like those three people.
He had to find Li Fuguang, the chosen one from China who had passed a thrilling game!
According to rumors, she was rewarded with a thriller game, so she must have something up her sleeve!
Issa set out on her way back.
★
Studio.
"Does anyone understand the development of these four people? Why do they feel that every step they take is strange?"
"It's very strange. When did Ivania and Jessica get together?"
"Huh? Isa escaped?! Why?"
"Don't dare to go to the ancestral hall. Everyone knows that you may face ghosts there."
"No, have you all been led astray by Ivania? Can you really not see the weirdness of those three people?"
"What's wrong? Aren't these three people good?"
"Something feels wrong. The mood swings of these three people are a bit too high. Moreover, when you zoom in, you can see that there are a lot of red bloodshot eyes in their eyes!"
"Oh, I know it. It's the clothes and those meals! Only Issa didn't change clothes and ate those meals! These three people must have been lowered!"
"I'll go! No! Is it normal that Issa is the only one out of 6?!"
"Not necessarily. I feel like Isa has been stimulated to an abnormal degree."
"You are overthinking it. Those three people obviously look normal, and they are almost walking to the ancestral hall. Can I please fans of Issa please stop washing? He is just a coward!"
…
Deng Lin and Li Jiqing looked at each other, and both of them could clearly see the fear and confusion in each other's eyes.
Deng Lin raised his forehead irritably, "Do you have any other opinions?"
The current situation was too bad. The most promising team to pass the level only had one normal person left. This guess was so terrifying that it directly overwhelmed him.
He hoped that this assistant, who always had fantastic ideas, could bring him some good news.
Li Jiqing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Maybe, they were going to experience the "Family of Four" situation again.
"Holy shit!!!"
"Oh my god!!!"
"ah!"
…
Suddenly, screams filled the conference room, filled with fear and disbelief.
Li Jiqing hurriedly looked at the tablet again, and saw that the three people who had just been exploring in the ancestral hall suddenly began to tremble, and blood flowed from their eyes.
Ivanya and Jessica strangled each other's neck with their hands until they died.
Park Ji-yeon was not dead, but her eyes shed tears of blood all the time.
She screamed, but her voice could not be heard outside the ancestral hall.
Until a familiar figure appeared in front of her.
It's Grandpa Li.
He recited a series of spells expressionlessly.
Li Jiqing didn't understand, but he could feel the malice contained in the spell.
Is he going to kill Park Ji-yeon?
Everyone raised their eyebrows in unison.
Ivanya and Jessica died so quickly that most of them didn't expect it.
But Park Ji-yeon is obviously still breathing and not dead yet.
Perhaps they were now about to witness the slow and cruel death of yet another Chosen One.
And there was nothing they could do.
But unexpectedly, after reciting the spell, Park Ji-yeon did not die. Instead, she stopped shaking, but she was still screaming loudly. The death of her companions stimulated her.
Grandpa Li took a step forward, roughly grabbed Pu Zhiyan's hair, raised the knife with his other hand, and swiped down quickly.
Many people in the observation room closed their eyes.
The next second, along with Park Ji-yeon's scream, a strand of her purple hair fell to the ground.
Not only the netizens in the live broadcast room, but also Park Ji-yeon herself was shocked.
She clearly saw the man take out a knife, but in the end he just cut off her hair?
"You should be glad you didn't dye all this hair purple."
Grandpa Li pulled his hand, and Park Zhiyan's head was instantly close to his face.
And Park Ji-yeon also felt the malice the man spewed in her ears.
She had no doubt that this man wanted to kill her, and maybe he didn't kill her now just because he wanted to torture her.
Park Ji-yeon cried again, she was not ready yet, she was just a college student.
But Grandpa Li no longer faced their gentleness at home. When he heard Park Ji-yeon cry again, he threw her to the ground impatiently and kicked her.
"What are you talking about? If my grandson didn't like it, how could it be your turn to be a sacrifice now!"
