"Maybe... it's because I don't dare." Nangong Lingxi thought for a while and answered Wang Yu's question.
Under Wang Yu's confused eyes, she explained: "The old village chief and the villagers are different from us."
"For us spiritual realm apostles, we can only leave this world after completing the main mission, and only by solving that thing can we complete the main mission."
"So, for us, that thing must be solved no matter what."
"But, for those villagers, no matter whether that thing is solved or not, they will always live here. It's just a matter of safety or not."
"For them, whether they can solve that thing is not the biggest issue they need to consider. How to ensure their own safety and whether she can survive until tomorrow and survive every day is the biggest issue they need to consider!"
"Compared to using the fragments to hide in the house to avoid the pursuit of those monsters, the danger of collecting those fragments and then taking the initiative to deal with that thing is obviously countless times greater than the former .”
"After all, that bronze mirror has been broken into pieces, even if it still has the ability to block those monsters."
"But, who can know whether the bronze mirror that has been broken into pieces still has the ability to seal that thing again?"
"If it works, then everyone will be happy; but if it doesn't work, then it means risking the lives of the whole village to death! Not only will the people who use the fragments to deal with that thing die, but those fragments will also fall on that thing In hand!"
"In this way, without the protection of the fragments, the remaining people in the village will not be able to escape the pursuit of those monsters!"
"The risk of doing this is too great. I don't think anyone in the village would be willing to do this!"
Listening to Nangong Lingxi's words, Wang Yu touched his chin and felt that what she said made sense.
He thought for a while, then looked at the two women and said, "We have been here not long ago, and we don't know much about the situation in the village, and we don't know much about the thoughts of the villagers."
"How about this? Let's talk to the old man about collecting the fragments and using them to deal with that thing, and see what he thinks?"
"However, since those fragments of broken bronze mirrors are the key to dealing with that thing, then no matter what, we must get those fragments!"
"If those villagers are willing to cooperate, that would be the best; if they are unwilling to cooperate, then our family will have no choice but to be cruel and hard on us!"
Wang Yu first inoculated Lu Ziyi and Nangong Lingxi, so that if some villagers were unwilling but unable to resist, they would kneel down and beg, and they would be too soft-hearted to do anything.
Lu Ziyi and Nangong Lingxi looked at each other and nodded.
Seeing them nodding, Wang Yu was relieved, and then he took the two of them and turned back to the village chief's house.
----------------------------------------
In the village chief's house, the old white-bearded village chief saw Wang Yu, Lu Ziyi and Nangong Lingxi coming back. He couldn't help but praise him for his caution just now.
He did not speak, but waited for the other party to speak first.
This is the sorrow of the weak facing the strong.
Wang Yu looked at the white-bearded old village chief and asked, "You have experienced this matter from beginning to end. It can even be said that compared to your son, you are the one who has experienced it the most!"
"Besides, those fragments, as you noticed, are capable of dealing with those monsters."
"But since you know that those fragments can deal with those monsters and restrain the fog in the woods, I even believe that you know that those fragments are the best weapon to deal with the mastermind behind all this."
"Then, why didn't you use them to deal with those behind the scenes after your son dug out the fragments from the grave of the old temple dweller? Instead, you just used them for self-protection?"
The white-bearded old village chief did not expect that this evil star would actually ask him such a question.
He shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said: "You are so strong that you are not afraid of those monsters even if you are bare-handed and have nothing to rely on."
"But we can't do it! I, my son, my family, and even the villagers in our village, we are just ordinary people. Facing those monsters, we have no power to fight back."
"I know those fragments can restrain those monsters, but we just want to live and don't dare to ask for anything else."
"Those fragments have the ability to restrain those monsters, but they can only restrain them. They cannot kill those monsters."
"It's not like we haven't tried using those fragments to attack those monsters. However, it has no effect at all!"
"When those fragments were inserted into those monsters, they seemed to be dead. However, once the fragments were pulled out, those monsters could be resurrected immediately."
"Those fragments can only drive away those monsters but cannot kill them at all!"
"If we can't even kill those monsters, can we still expect those fragments to be able to deal with the culprit?"
"Those fragments, before they were broken, when they were still mirrors, might still be of some use to the culprit and murderer."
"However, it has been broken into pieces. Even if it is put back together, it is still just a piece, not a mirror. Who knows if it is still useful?"
"If those fragments can be put together and still have some use, then that would be the best. But if it becomes useless, wouldn't that mean you are going to die?"
"Instead of risking everyone's lives, it's better to use these fragments to survive!"
Listening to the white-bearded old village chief's explanation, Wang Yu wanted to tell him that it wasn't that those fragments couldn't kill those monsters, but that those monsters were already dead!
People are already dead, they are just corpses, so how can they be killed?
You use those fragments to insert into the bodies of those monsters, and just use the fragments to help those corpses get rid of the control of the mist.
Then you take away the fragments, and the mist controls the corpse again, which makes you feel that the monster is "resurrected" again.
However, he just thought about these words in his heart and did not say them out.
After all, there is no point in explaining to this bad old man.
He turned his head and glanced at Nangong Lingxi. Unexpectedly, this little girl guessed correctly that this bad old man only used those fragments for self-protection.
Nangong Lingxi immediately raised her head arrogantly, with an expression like "Who is this girl? She is so smart, of course she can guess it right."
Wang Yu looked at her "little man succeeds" look and rolled his eyes helplessly. Then, he looked at the white-bearded old village chief and said, "You don't dare, I dare!"
"If you think that taking those fragments to target the other party's culprit will lead to death, then gather all the fragments and give them to me."
"I'll go to the woods and find the Temple of the King of Hell. I'll re-seal the culprit in the Temple of the King of Hell!"
"No!" Before Wang Yu could finish his words, the old man with white beard and village chief objected with a pale face.
Hearing the white-bearded old village chief's rejection, Wang Yu's face suddenly turned ugly.
On the one hand, it was because he was very unhappy when he was interrupted while speaking.
On the other hand, it was also because he didn't expect that this bad old man would have such a big reaction, which made him feel that something was not right.
