Qi Zhao found the problem, so he naturally had to follow the problem to investigate further.
If you don’t know an NPC, then find the next one.
If the next one doesn’t work, then try the next one.
Anyway, just ask.
After all the hard work, Qi Zhao did gain something.
Not all NPCs knew about the trouble, and except for the NPC who told Qi Zhao first, Qi Zhao finally got some clues from the daughter-in-law of the head of Wuyou Village.
The daughter-in-law loves to gossip, and since she is at the village chief's house, she has better information than others.
In addition to the trivial gossip in Wuyou Village, it naturally also includes these legendary gossips.
"You're talking about these things. I know it's true. Several names that don't exist in our village always appear inexplicably. And I heard that not only are there no such names, the people they call are also villagers from our Wuyou Village. , just the name is different.”
Qi Zhao heard this and said, "Hey, isn't this their player?"
"Sister-in-law, have you heard of her name?" Qi Zhao asked.
"I didn't know that, I can't remember clearly." The daughter-in-law replied.
Qi Zhao asked again: "Then do you still remember when it happened?"
The daughter-in-law shook her head: "I really don't know. Besides, I'm not sure whether this is true or not. This is just like the Bride of the Mountain God. It's not passed down by word of mouth at all." .”
Qi Zhao was surprised: "Isn't it spread by word of mouth?"
The daughter-in-law nodded: "Yes, it seems that there is something in our village, left by our ancestors. What kind of curse is this from the mountain god, and there are some names that do not exist in our Wuyou Village. These things are all in that book It is written that someone saw it and told it, so this happened, but no one saw it with their own eyes."
Qi Zhao felt puzzled.
How could this matter come from a book?
Let’s not talk about the players, just this bride.
The mountain god needs to sacrifice a bride for hundreds of years, and that decision must be told to his descendants, not only the head of Wuyou Village and his family, but must be passed down to every household.
Otherwise, who will believe these things in future generations?
You can't just take out a notebook and say this is written in it, and then the villagers will believe it, right?
That's unreasonable.
Qi Zhao felt surprised.
But if Shen Yangu and the others were here now, they would probably tell Qi Zhao, because this world is not simply connected by ancestors, grandchildren, and descendants.
After a group is wiped out, won't the villagers who are resurrected have no one above them to spread the word about it?
You can only read it from these books.
Qi Zhao didn't get much information from his daughter-in-law, that's all.
However, it is no longer easy.
After finishing talking to his daughter-in-law, Qi Zhao sneaked to the village chief's house.
What's there? Just look at that book, don't you know?
There was a wedding today, and many people went to join in the fun, including the village chief's family, which also gave Qi Zhao a good opportunity.
He quickly went to the village chief's house and started rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in the village chief's house, looking for the book that his wife told him about.
Qi Zhao almost searched the village chief's house but couldn't find it.
When he was wondering if the village chief's daughter-in-law was lying, he thought of another place.
The ancestral hall of Wuyou Village.
Most villages have one or two surnames, and Wuyou Village is no exception.
For example, the village chief and the man's family who are getting married today are related to each other.
Most families in the village are related to each other for several generations.
The village chief's surname is the head of Wuyou Village.
The largest ancestral hall in Wuyou Village belongs to the village chief.
Qi Zhao thought for a while and then touched the ancestral hall.
This time, Qi Zhao did not spend much effort. He found an exquisite wooden box on top of the sacrifices in the ancestral hall. In the wooden box, there was the book that the village chief's daughter-in-law mentioned that recorded various events. A book about things.
The facts are indeed as the village chief's daughter-in-law said.
Qi Zhao was the first to see the legend about the mountain god's bride and the curse.
It is similar to what the villagers said, but it is also more detailed than what the villagers said.
For example, it says here that the first bride chosen by the mountain god was called the Sapphire Girl.
The Qingyu girl was chosen by the mountain god and refused to get married. Her family was killed by the villagers of Wuyou Village to protect Qingyu. The Qingyu girl was forced to put on a wedding dress and was sent to the mountain god's cave.
Qi Zhao: "?"
Kill the whole family?
Qi Zhao was shocked.
Then he continued to look down.
The green jade girl reached an agreement with the mountain god and volunteered to serve the mountain god for a hundred years in exchange for the power of the mountain god. Eighteen years later, when a wedding was held in Wuyou Village, she and her bride Li Daitao got into trouble, returned to Wuyou Village, and destroyed the village for revenge. The villagers of Wuyou Village, No one survived.
Qi Zhao: "?"
No, no one has returned alive, so what is going on in this worry-free village?
Unfortunately, the book did not tell Qi Zhao the answer.
The book only says that Wuyou Village is closely related to the mountain god, and it is not allowed to resist the mountain god's orders. It takes a hundred years to sacrifice a bride. If you don't obey, the mountain god's curse will come.
As for that curse, Qi Zhao had already heard about it, and there was no difference.
Qi Zhao only felt it was strange.
He continued to turn back.
The front one is about the bride and the curse, while the back one records several inexplicable weddings.
For example, someone went crazy at a wedding and shouted, "It's all fake, it's fake."
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, why isn't it over? I don't want to play anymore, I won't play anymore, let me out."
Others shout other people's names at weddings.
And so on, and so on.
These situations should be what the village chief's daughter-in-law said.
In other words, these people are likely to be players like him.
But, here...
Qi Zhao looked at a thick book and fell into deep thought.
How many players are they?
Of the twenty players, nine knew each other, and only eleven did not know their names.
But at a rough count, there are more than eleven players.
It couldn't be such a coincidence. No player he knew was crazy. Everyone he didn't know was causing trouble in the corresponding world, right?
Qi Zhao watched all this, and a guess apparently flashed through his mind.
These players are probably not the same group of players as him at all.
The copy of the escape game uses this in a loop, and Qi Zhao knows it.
However, under normal circumstances, the records of different players in escape games should be different.
If he can now see the names of players he has experienced before...
Special book?
This guess came to Qi Zhao's mind immediately.
However, it was also the first time for Qi Zhao to play with the special book. He didn't know much about it and had no way to defend himself. He simply stuffed the book that recorded the secrets of Wuyou Village into his clothes and prepared to take it away directly.
After doing all this, Qi Zhao estimated that there would be no clues to be found in Wuyou Village for the time being, so he planned to go to the mountain god's cave to have a look.
There should also be a key.
