"Hey! If you say that, we have missed a good opportunity!"
The man with glasses gritted his teeth and clapped his hands suddenly.
"That Ruan Goddess came to the guest house once in the afternoon... If we had known this, we should have tied her up!"
Ning Qiushui said slowly:
"You shouldn't feel pity, you should feel lucky."
"If you knew about this at that time and took action against Ruan Shenpo... then there is a high probability that you will be the one to go wrong in the end."
He described to everyone what happened in the village in the afternoon, and they immediately knew why Luo Yan was like this. It must be the fault of Goddess Ruan!
"She, why did she turn Luo Yan into that?"
Hearing the mysterious abilities of Ruan Goddess, the bespectacled man, who originally looked like it was a pity that he didn't do anything to the Goddess, felt a cold sweat on his back.
If they had come back earlier, they might have been killed by the Ruan Goddess and turned into zombies like Luo Yan!
"I think... it may be related to Tang Jiao's death."
Bai Xiaoxiao said.
"Originally, Tang Jiao was a chess piece manipulated by Goddess Ruan to force or induce us to do something. Now that the chess piece is gone, she must take action herself..."
As she spoke, Ning Qiushui beside her suddenly figured out something, and said with a hint of excitement in her tone:
"I finally figured it out, this is the crux of the problem!"
Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at him, with confusion and curiosity on their faces.
"Brother, what do you know?"
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Ning Qiushui slowly said something that made their scalps tingle:
"From the moment we entered the Blood Gate, we were all misled by the prompts. The temple festival will not start four days later... In fact, the temple festival has already started from the day we arrived!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole room fell into deathly silence.
"Do you still remember our mission on the Blood Gate?"
"The task of allowing us to survive the temple sacrifices on the seventh day does not mean that the temple sacrifices only begin on the seventh day!"
"Let's talk about what we are going through now-"
Ning Qiushui's speaking speed became faster and faster, and his thinking became clearer and clearer.
"The goddess first came to Tang Jiao, promised to let Tang Jiao live, and worked with her to guide us to die... Those who secretly went up the mountain under Tang Jiao's guidance, people who went to different scenic spots... are actually all The goddess has already planned it!"
"In our eyes, there may be clues to life hidden in these scenic spots... But in the eyes of the goddess, they are all places where sacrifices are made!"
"Fangcun Pond, Binhu Temple, Never-Drying Well...even the guest house where we live (Yanyu Temple) is full of scary ghosts!"
"The people in this village...from the moment we entered, they have been trying to sacrifice us to these dead people!"
"Because of this, after Tang Jiao's death, the goddess guessed that someone among us had already discovered all this, so she didn't go looking for the insider, but directly chose to take action herself!"
As Ning Qiushui spoke out this fact word by word, everyone felt chills all over their bodies...
"The festival...has it already started?"
The man with glasses muttered to himself.
As Ning Qiushui proposed this guess, everyone suddenly remembered something that had obviously been happening all along but had been ignored by them.
——People are dying every day.
Yes.
If they were sacrifices and the festival hadn't started, would the village and the goddess let them die easily?
Obviously not.
There was dead silence in the room.
Everyone is silent.
The festival, which they had thought would only start in four days, turned out to have started two days ago.
"Damn it!"
"We should have discovered this sooner!"
The man with glasses couldn't help but cursed.
At this time, Bai Xiaoxiao, who had finished his meal, put down his chopsticks.
"Okay, it's getting late today, so you guys should not go out anymore."
"The village is not safe to begin with. In addition, when everyone returns to their rooms, remember to check every corner. If you see a wooden sign with the word 'Ruan' written on it, remember to throw it out in time!"
Everyone returned to their rooms with heavy hearts.
After Ning Qiushui checked the room and confirmed that nothing was missing, he locked the door.
It got dark very quickly in the village, and before long, it was completely dark outside.
They did a lot of things today, and Ning Qiushui's mind was still a little messy, so he sat on the bed and started to sort it out.
"Although I have guessed what happened that year, many details are still unclear, including the death of Guangxiu's family, and why the merciful person looked like a monk... But now the goddess has become very wary of us, and wants to solve these problems one by one. After investigating everything, it’s probably unlikely…”
Most of the people in the village are under 70 years old. Ning Qiushui had been paying attention to them when they entered the village.
In fact, judging from the medical conditions in the village, these villagers are doing well to live to be over 60 years old.
Therefore, it is impossible for these people who survived to know everything about what happened a hundred years ago.
Maybe they really didn't know some of the details. They probably heard some important things from their elders and knew that Guangxiu's family had grievances.
"It seems that the starting point... still has to be the goddess!"
Ning Qiushui's eyes were sharp.
Although they really don't want to have a direct conflict with the goddess, it seems that this is an unavoidable link now.
Since there was no wooden sign in the room, no one met Guangchuan tonight.
Perhaps because of hatred, it seems to have no interest in everyone, and is only looking for the wooden sign with the word 'Ruan' written on it.
The next day, Ning Qiushui got up to have breakfast, only to find that... Bai Xiaoxiao was missing.
pS: Start working, there are three more updates.
