Once a scary thought takes root in your mind, it is difficult to get rid of it.
food.
When these two words appeared in front of the three people's eyes, they could no longer be forgotten.
"No way……"
"Even if it's for food, you won't kill anyone!"
Liu Chengfeng took a breath of cold air.
It wasn't the killing itself that he feared.
But the reason why those villagers killed Guang Xiu's family... was just because of a mouthful of food.
"This is not the first time this has happened. In ancient times, once there was a severe drought or famine, some people would even exchange their children for food. Many people think this is just an exaggerated description, but it is not an exaggeration at all!"
Ning Qiushui's tone was heavy.
"Of course, that's not the scariest thing."
"After all, people in that kind of environment can only survive by following the law of the jungle and the strong!"
"What's really scary is that those who do evil, after getting through the crisis, cover up their crimes through lies and blame the crimes on the victims!"
"Back then, what was robbed of Guangxiu's family was not only food, but also their lives and reputation..."
Bai Xiaoxiao also sighed sympathetically:
"This is the scariest thing..."
"Everyone knows you are innocent, but no one stands up to speak out for you. They even banded together to fabricate your ridiculous crime, then pointed their finger at your nose and tried you..."
"I think I can probably understand why such a terrifying ghost was born in this village..."
"This is no longer simply a matter of life and death."
The three of them felt heavy-hearted and did not continue talking, so they returned to their guest house in silence.
So far, they have been able to basically guess what happened in the village back then, but they have not yet found a way out.
Time passed quickly, and it was soon dinner time.
Due to everyone's caution, except for Tang Jiao, no one was reduced in number.
Seven people remain.
During the meal, everyone sat in silence at the table.
Only Luo Yan stared at her dinner plate and kept smiling.
She smiled weirdly and looked very dazed. She didn't know what she had gone through alone in the guest house all afternoon.
Ning Qiushui looked at Luo Yan and felt that she had seen her smile somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a while. Of course, others also noticed this and quietly moved away from Luo Yan.
As a result, a very strange picture appeared on the round dining table——
Luo Yan sat in a seat by herself, with no one on either side, and the remaining six people were all crowded to one side.
"Luo Yan, Luo Yan!"
"What are you laughing at?"
Finally, someone couldn't help but speak.
It's Zongfang, that timid girl.
She was quite frightened by Luo Yan's appearance.
But Luo Yan didn't reply to her at all. She held chopsticks in her hands and didn't pick up the food. She just stared at the plate in front of her and chuckled from time to time, as if someone was telling her a joke or teasing her. Her happiness.
This scene was so weird that Zong Fang felt that if there weren't so many people in the room, she would have run out immediately without looking back!
"She, what happened to her?"
The man with glasses was also panicked.
But no one answered his question because no one knew.
Ning Qiushui was still engrossed in her meal, but from time to time she would raise her eyes to look at Luo Yan, as if she was observing something.
Until at some point, he suddenly stopped picking up the food.
He remembered.
He finally remembered why the smile on the corner of Luo Yan's mouth felt so familiar...
Because of this smile, he had only seen it on Mi Lan’s face not long ago!
At that time, the goddess approached Mi Lan who was lying in bed, chanted some spells at her, sprinkled something, and then Mi Lan showed such a smile!
Could it be that……
Was it made by a goddess?
What does she want to do?
While Ning Qiushui was deep in thought, Luo Yan suddenly stood up in a daze and walked towards the door.
The way she walked was like a walking corpse, looking lifeless.
But no one in the room dared to stop her.
It wasn't until she walked away that Zong Fang spoke weakly:
"Are we...are we going to die?"
There was a panic and cry in her tone.
"There are only the last four days left. We have basically visited all the scenic spots we can go to, and we have basically found all the clues we can find...but we haven't found a way out yet!"
"Is there... no way out of this door?"
When people are under great pressure, their emotions will collapse first.
And once the mood collapses, the next thing that suffers is the IQ.
People in this state will constantly doubt themselves and everything around them!
Everyone's faces were not pretty.
"Hey, Bai Xiaoxiao, have you got any useful clues?"
"Speak out and listen. It's better to work together to find a solution than to fight alone!"
"After all, we are now considered grasshoppers on the same rope!"
Although the bespectacled man was a newcomer and did not perform very well in many aspects, the way he took the initiative to find a way out also gave his teammates a lot of confidence.
"All right--"
"We did find some useful clues. Now we have seven people left... Oh no, strictly speaking, there are only six people left. Then I will share what we got."
Bai Xiaoxiao said eloquently.
She first told everyone present about the famine in the village a hundred years ago, and then gave a hint about the blood gate.
"The tips given by the Blood Gate are usually incomplete. In fact, in addition to the [good people], [compassionate people] and [innocent people], there is also an [evil perpetrator] in this village."
"And that [evil perpetrator] is the goddess of this village!"
"Conjectures about the way out... We need to help the good ones take revenge, eradicate the evildoers, and then help the merciful ones find their lost heads and restore the stability of the village."
"And we have less than four days to do it all."
"If we don't finish these things before the temple festival, then what we will face by then... is likely to be the final reckoning of the [Good Ones] and the [Compassionate Ones]!"
