"What?"
"impossible!"
Duan Jibo and Duan Qidang even exclaimed, their faces full of surprise.
From the very beginning, many people were pointing their fingers at Li Baotian. When they came here, everyone gained a lot.
But unexpectedly, after this ghost appeared, he bluntly stated that he was not the dungeon boss, which exceeded everyone's expectations.
Even Lin Chen's brows frowned slightly.
Before, he had thought that Li Baotian was probably the "him" mentioned by the system, but now the other party denied that he was the dungeon boss, which made him suddenly unable to help but doubt again.
This was not because Lin Chen was not firm in his ideas, but that Li Baotian did not need to lie to them. At the very least, the strength they showed was not a big threat to a ghost king like Li Baotian.
"Could it be the village chief?" Duan Qi came to his senses, suddenly remembered that there was no body of the village chief in the wine jar, and subconsciously asked.
"He... doesn't count, right?" Li Baotian slowly shook his head, then waved his hand gently, and a wooden table and four seats appeared out of thin air. He made an invitation and said:
"Tonight, I have no murderous intention towards you, so I won't take action against you. Don't worry, I have been alone for too long. Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea? I can't tell you everything you want to know. , but I have been in this dungeon for so long, and I can still help you solve some simple doubts."
When Lin Chen heard this, he sat on it without saying a word. Although he didn't know what Li Baotian was thinking, there were not many opportunities like this, and he would not let it go if he could use it.
Duan Jibo hesitated slightly and then sat down as well.
Duan Qi saw that neither of them resisted, so he had no choice but to sit down.
"I do have some good green tea here." As soon as Duan Jibo sat down, he laughed, took out a tea set, and started brewing by himself.
At this time, he had relaxed a lot. After all, Li Baotian had no ill intentions from beginning to end. Moreover, he was not at ease with Li Baotian. It was impossible for him to let Li Baotian prepare tea. This was due caution.
Li Baotian didn't care, and after Duan Jibo had prepared everything, he took a sip of tea and then said with a smile: "Good tea. Even when I was alive and my family was relatively wealthy, I never drank such good tea. Look. As expected, your world has developed to an extremely advanced level."
"You seem to know something about the outside world?" Lin Chen asked.
"That's right. After all, I've always been awake. There are dozens and hundreds of gamers here. I've got their memories, so I've heard about Duan Group and this one should be the Queen of the Night. In addition, among you In the eyes of players, we are just NPCs in the game copy, right?" Li Baotian said with a teasing smile.
"It's C, not Xi, and she is the Queen of the Dark Night, not the Queen of the Dark Night." Lin Chen corrected in time.
Duan Jibo suddenly sweated and wanted to jump up on the spot. He grabbed Lin Chen's clothes and told him that the person in front of you is a ghost king. Even if he is not a dungeon boss, he is a very powerful one. He is not your eldest cousin. Correct this. Does it make sense?
Duan Qi was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't help but kicked Lin Chen's thighs from below.
"Hey! What he said has nothing to do with me." Lin Chen couldn't help but rubbed his thigh and said innocently.
Li Baotian's hand holding the tea cup had already froze in place, as if he was very embarrassed, and his face looked a little unnatural.
I have to say that this ghost behaves very much like an ordinary person.
Lin Chen, who was looking at him out of the corner of his eye, flashed his eyes slightly.
Duan Jibo coughed lightly and said proactively: "Actually, that's just a statement. In fact, absolutely no one is willing to come in. You should be very clear about this. After all, no player has ever walked out of this dungeon."
Duan Jibo's words relieved some of Li Baotian's embarrassment and returned to his normal state: "That may be the case, and I know what you are thinking, but I can tell you that the deaths of those people actually have nothing to do with me."
"Does it have nothing to do with you? Have they never passed the level of ordinary villagers from beginning to end?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.
No matter what happened to this ghost, the resentment on his body was definitely not fake. Although Lin Chen always looked normal, in his eyes, the resentment on this ghost was like a walking hell on earth!
"No, in your eyes, the villagers are a very dangerous existence, but in fact, they are just streams of water in a river. What is really scary is this river." Li Baotian said slowly.
Lin Chen and the others were thoughtful, and then Duan Qi said: "The river water you are talking about should not be a horror game, but something that this deserted village has experienced before."
When Li Baotian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Duan Qi deeply and said, "You are very smart, just like Zhang Qing."
The Zhang Qing he was talking about was the photo of the deceased placed on top of the eucalyptus in the main hall.
When Duan Qi heard this, a flash of light flashed in his beautiful eyes, and he asked:
"Is that the person in the photo, but why didn't she show up?"
Li Baotian nodded and said: "It's her, but she is already dead. There is a red coffin you can see. The other one is prepared for myself. I am always there to accompany her."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Chen and the others thought of the two red coffins in the main bedroom.
"Are you saying she didn't turn into a ghost?" Duan Qi asked.
"Yes or no, I can't answer this question." Li Baotian said.
He seems to be easy to talk to, and will tell what he can answer. If he is not easy to respond, he will speak directly, but he will not be irritated by anything.
Duan Qi and Li Baotian talked.
Lin Chen was slightly startled when he heard this.
"Does he represent her? After all, the more special something is, the more the system will care about it. Maybe the one who needs to be freed is Zhang Qing, Li Baotian's wife! But this guy should really be a ghost king. How should I put him Did my wife steal it?"
Even Li Baotian didn't know that a certain man had secretly made plans for his wife.
At this time, Duan Jibo saw that Li Baotian was really easy to talk to, so he became interested and asked: "Why are there so many corpses of villagers in this wine jar?"
Li Baotian said: "That is their physical body when they were alive. To me, it has a certain use. Specifically, in nine days, you will see it with your own eyes. The end of the previous dungeons basically ended on that day."
Li Baotian's words made Duan Jibo and Duan Qi feel sad.
The end of the dungeon proved that all the players were killed that day. It was simply unimaginable how horrific things would happen that day.
And the two words "Nine Heavens".
This immediately reminded them of what Ma Baosheng had said before. Before leaving the yard, Ma Baosheng said that every ten days, all the villagers would go to Li Baotian's house.
"I'm curious, how did you survive that famine?" Lin Chen opened his mouth and asked directly about his biggest doubt before.
Duan Jibo and Duan Jibo's hearts tightened, and they quickly gathered all their energy to look at Li Baotian.
In their eyes, what happened during the famine had a significant relationship with the reason for the formation of this copy.
Li Baotian smiled. He didn't seem to shy away from it. Instead, he took a sip of tea and slowly said: "The famine that year was indeed tragic. Most of the villagers left the village. They had no food for a year and they starved to death. With a small number of people, many tragedies that made people angry and angry happened."
"For example, what happened at Brother Baosheng's house."
As soon as Lin Chen said this, the three of them subconsciously glanced at the pink sack on his waist.
"Although Brother Baosheng's family is in a special situation, many people will do anything when they are extremely hungry. At the last moment, I finally couldn't stand it anymore, so I took out all the food stored at home and helped the whole village. Although this made our family’s life miserable, we finally got through this disaster." Li Baotian continued, which was a complete answer to Lin Chen's question.
"But, now that the famine is over, why are dungeons still formed? Shouldn't the villagers in the village be proactive and work in the fields and live a good life again?" Duan Qi couldn't help but ask, she was even more excited at this time Confuse.
"I can't say this kind of answer. I have limitations. This is indeed a game with rules. I can't violate them. I can only tell you that the real disaster happened half a year after the famine ended. It was also me. It really happened on the day of her wedding." Li Baotian said.
When the three heard this, they couldn't help but sigh slightly, but they knew that a dungeon like Deserted Village would definitely not be easy to pass.
Li Baotian spoke again: "However, for you, this truth is not that difficult. At least, you are experiencing what happened to me."
Lin Chen was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
Duan Jibo also pondered. In their eyes, how could a player like him who had just entered the dungeon have something in common with a native ghost like Li Baotian?
Duan Qi also frowned, but soon, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "You mean, we gave food to those children? Is it consistent with your behavior back then?"
Li Baotian laughed. This time, his smile became weird. In the darkness, it looked vaguely scary. He said:
"Yes, this is also the reason why I took the initiative to show up and didn't attack you, because I also wanted to see if something happened to you, whether your end would be the same as mine!"
When he said the last sentence, his voice had begun to change, full of hatred and hoarseness, like a thousand-year-old ghost full of resentment!
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi's expressions changed, and they immediately stood up and stepped back. This was their instinctive reaction.
On the table, only Lin Chen and Li Baotian were left.
Li Baotian glanced at Duan Jibo and Duan Jibo with a sneer, and then returned to his normal appearance. He said: "Let's drink this tea for now. Let me give you another reminder. If you want to find the truth, the most direct way is to do what I once did." Only then will the ghost truly hidden in the darkness appear."
After saying that, he stood up, as if he was not interested in talking to the three of them anymore.
But just when he stood up, Lin Chen already put a hand on his shoulder.
This time, Li Baotian's expression finally turned cold, and the terrifying ghost power emitted, directly attacking Lin Chen's body!
"No, it is indeed the ghost king, Mr. Chen!"
"Quickly retreat!"
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi were in great panic. They did not expect that such a change would happen at the last moment.
However, amidst this majestic and terrifying ghost power, Lin Chen still remained calm. Instead, he smiled at Li Baotian and said, "Don't be so impulsive. I just want to ask, who is the hidden person you just mentioned?" Who? We’ve been talking so much, I have to give you a hint.”
Li Baotian looked surprised. He didn't seem to expect that Lin Chen was strong enough to resist his ghost power. He also seemed to be surprised by Lin Chen's attitude towards him.
But in the end, after weighing it in his heart, the corner of his mouth twitched and he slowly said two words:
"Li Fu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body disappeared suddenly, without giving Lin Chen a chance to ask again. The speed was so fast that it looked like he had run away.
