Liang Xi: "Because... you were poisoned?"

Zhou Guang: "What the hell is poisoning? Who has been poisoned and all the bones are black? This is not drinking poison, this is soaking in a poison jar."

Liang Xi used some healing magic on the skeleton.

Xia Chi was shocked: "Brother Liang Xi, what are you doing? Do you want this skeleton to stand up on its own and scare us to death?"

Liang Xi: “…”

Uh, sorry, my occupational disease has struck me.

Ding! Congratulations to the player for cracking 5% of the truth about the River God's Curse. Currently, 95% of the truth about the River God's Curse has been cracked.

A system prompt sounded in Baili Xin's mind.

Xia Chi's eyes suddenly lit up: "95%. Great, we only need 5% to win."

There were two skeletons entangled on the ground. They were different from other normal skeletons. They were bluish-black in color.

Dijia whispered in Baili Xin's ear: "The bones of these two people are filled with strong resentment."

Baili Xin stood up and said, "Anyway, let's send the two skeletons to Granny Sang first. It's getting late, let's finish our work quickly and go back to rest."

He opened the task bar. It had taken them more than three hours to salvage the body. Coupled with the high-intensity work in the morning and the rush in the afternoon, everyone was already exhausted.

No one knew what was going on with these two skeletons, they were tightly clasped together, the mutated bones were extremely hard, several people tried to pry them apart for a long time but failed.

It took several people half an hour to carry the corpse to Grandma Sang at the charity cemetery. Grandma Sang slid in front of them in small steps, looked at the skeleton for a few seconds, and then pounced on it.

"Bao'er, it's my Bao'er for sure!"

"Thank you for helping me find Bao'er. Now I want to tell you something else."

"Put the skeletons on the shelf and follow me in."

After hearing what Grandma Sang said, several people looked at each other, put the two skeletons on the shelf, and followed Grandma Sang into the room.

Granny Sang searched through the house for a long time and finally took out a wooden box.

She opened the wooden box and took out something wrapped in yellow cloth.

He picked up a corner of the yellow cloth and opened it little by little, finally revealing the true face of what was inside.

It was a dagger wrapped with a yellow paper talisman.

Granny Sang: "More than a decade ago, a gentleman passed by here and said that an evil spirit had appeared in our Heshen Village. He gave me this dagger. The gentleman said that his strength was not enough to destroy the evil spirit, but someone who could do it would appear in the future."

"He will help me find Boa's body and save the River God Village from the curse."

"When the time comes, give him the dagger. As long as you pierce the evil spirit with this dagger, the evil spirit will disappear, and the River God Village will be freed."

"You helped me find Bao'er's body, so I give this dagger to you."

"Although Huang Youcheng is a tyrant, he saved the people of Heshen Village after all. Bao'er married him but was unfaithful to him. It was Bao'er who let Huang Youcheng down. This ill-fated couple was entangled in life and will not let each other go even after death."

"One wrong step, all wrong!"

"I didn't believe that Baoer had turned into an evil spirit, but after seeing their skeletons, I couldn't help but believe it."

"If the evil spirit is really Bao'er, and Bao'er is the source of the river god's curse, please free her."

"It was our Bao Er who let Huang You Cheng down. I will help him deal with his funeral affairs."

Granny Sang put the dagger back into the box and handed it to Baili Xin.

The system sound rang in everyone's mind.

Ding! Congratulations to player Baili Xin for obtaining the Demon-Breaking Dagger x1. This dagger can be used to break the curse of evil spirits.

"There's one more thing..." Granny Sang frowned and thought for a long time before she slapped her forehead, "I remember now. That gentleman said that the evil spirit is very powerful and the power of this dagger can only be used once."

Baili Xin held the heavy box in his hand. "So it must succeed in one go? What happens if it fails?"

Granny Sang's eyes suddenly widened: "Once we fail, we will no longer be able to stop the evil spirits. The river god's curse cannot be eliminated. Either sacrifice a pure girl! Or wait for the flood to submerge the village and everyone will die!"

Baili Xin was silent for two seconds: "In that case, since I'm here..."

Xia Chi: “???!”

Li Cancan: “???!”

These four words give them goose bumps!

Baili Xin said slowly: "How about we take Bao'er and Huang Youcheng's skeletons away with us?"

Granny Sang: “…”

Getting something for nothing

Half an hour later, Xia Chi returned to his residence pushing a cart covered with white cloth.

They ran into five blacksmiths who were blocking the door of their room.

The leading blacksmith glared at Baili Xin and the others angrily, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins on them burst.

But they were worried about the system's punishment, so they held on to the last bit of rationality and did not take action.

"Baili Xin! Three of my brothers who went up the mountain died! Did you do this on purpose?!"

Xia Chi stood in front of Baili Xin and said, "It was your own people who started to act rogue first. We warned them when we left, but they insisted on making trouble with those NPCs, saying something like 'not fighting for bread, but for reputation'."

"We are all players. If they don't leave, you should drag them away." The blacksmith's voice was lowered, but his tone was still very unfriendly.

Zhou Guang: "If we pull him back, what if we are judged as attacking the players? Everyone knows what you were planning when you went up the mountain. Those three people can only blame themselves for their fate."

The blacksmith was speechless. He had a breath stuck in his chest and had no place to vent. Finally, he turned his head and glared at the two people who came up the mountain with a red face, "A bunch of rubbish, get in!"

The five men walked into the house in shame, with their tails between their legs. Before entering the house, the blacksmith glanced at the cart.

Xia Chi was very strong and carried the two skeletons into the house.

Now, there are five people, a monster, and two skeletons in a room.

Li Cancan felt that her phobia had been mostly cured.

Thank God Xin!

Zhou Guang is the cooking person for the five of them.

An hour later, after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and finally caught their breath, they began to worry about the two skeletons.

Zhou Guang: "So, which of these two skeletons is the real evil spirit?"

Liang Xi: "Sang Bao'er, you see, Sang Bao'er saved the villagers with her own happiness, but ended up being insulted by the villagers and controlled by Huang Youcheng. She was bullied by both sides and turned into an evil spirit after her death."

Zhou Guang: "Why do I feel that Huang Youcheng is more likely to turn evil? He spent a fortune to buy a beauty, and served her well, but in the end, the beauty cheated on him. It would have been fine if he was just cuckolded, but he was killed by Baoer. Do you think he is wronged? Is he angry? Will he turn into an evil spirit?"

Li Cancan said weakly: "I have a question."

Zhou Guang: "What's the problem?"

Li Cancan: "Well, if one of them really turns into an evil spirit, will they really let us drag their bones away?"

other people:"… "

That’s a good question!

Xia Chi: "So the evil spirit could be someone else? Who else could it be?"

Several people frowned, and Liang Xi said hesitantly: "The village chief is also a suspect."

"This afternoon he has been whitewashing himself, portraying himself as a person of truth, kindness and beauty, but who knew he was a hypocrite."

Xia Chi: "If you say so, Granny Sang is also a suspect. She loved her daughter so much, and her daughter was killed by the villagers, leaving her alone to see her daughter die. She must be resentful, and maybe she has become an evil spirit."

Zhou Guang: "Then let me ask you, if Granny Sang is an evil spirit, how could she give the dagger to us?"

Xia Chi: “…”

Another good question!

Li Cancan: "So who is it?"

Liang Xi: "Is there a possibility that Granny Sang wants to use us as a tool to kill someone else? She led us to believe that the most suspicious person is the village chief, and she used us to kill the village chief."

other people:"… "

It's so difficult. I'm confused. Why does everyone seem suspicious

Dijia's laughter echoed in Baili Xin's ears, "Ha, stupid."

Baili Xin: "..."

proceed if you can.

The monster that was knocked unconscious by Baili Xin was still in a coma. Several people had been thinking about it until their hair became bald, but they still couldn't figure out who the evil spirit was.

Now 53 hours have passed and it will be dawn in 5 hours.

Baili Xin: "Everyone, take a rest first. We still have time tomorrow."

Zhou Guang: "Yes, let's take a rest first. We'll figure out who it is when we're doing the mandatory work tomorrow. At worst, we can just pick one at random. There's still a one in four chance of success!"

Li Cancan sat up from the floor and said, "I have to pee urgently, so I need to go out for a while."

A few minutes later, Li Cancan walked out of the toilet and was stunned when she saw the people in the yard.

The scarlet moonlight should have been eerie, but when that red light shone on the face of the young man in front of him, it gave him a layer of golden-red afterglow and nothing else.

The young man stood tall and graceful, under the moonlight. He tilted his head as if he was talking to someone, and his slender neck was covered with a layer of peach pink under the moonlight, like peach blossoms in April, charming and beautiful.

Li Cancan stared blankly for a few seconds before shaking her head and walking over, "You haven't slept yet, Baili Xin."

Baili Xin leaned lazily against the wall, looking up at the red moon in the sky: "Not yet."

Li Cancan walked to Baili Xin and looked up at the moon like him.

It was quiet all around, with the wind blowing past my ears from time to time. Strangely enough, the red moon that I felt was very scary on the first day, turned out not to be that scary after a few days of getting along with it.

Li Cancan took a deep breath and said, "The air here is quite good."

Baili Xin: "Well, it's pretty good. If there were no curse from the river god, this place would be a paradise."

Li Cancan: "By the way, Baili Xin, I told you about my grandma before, right?"

Baili Xin: “Yeah.”

"My grandmother was a very nice person, kind to everyone and never got angry. But she had a bad fate. First my grandfather passed away, and then my parents also passed away."

"Baili Xin, can you do me a favor? I don't know if I can meet you or people as good as you in the next game, and I don't know if I can make it to the last level."

"But I believe you can do it. If you have a chance to go out, please help me go see my grandmother. She lives at No. 32 Yuhua Road, S City. Her last name is Li."

Baili Xin finally moved his gaze away from the moonlight and put it on Li Cancan's face: "Li Cancan, don't do anything stupid, we don't need you to sacrifice to the river god."

Li Cancan raised her head suddenly, her almond-shaped eyes widened, "I, I didn't."

Baili Xin: "You actually woke up a long time ago when your fever subsided, right?"

Li Cancan's face changed, "How do you know?"

"At that time, Liang Xi said that you were sweating all over your face. I took a look and saw that you were crying. You had the idea of offering sacrifice to the river god at that time, right? You just kept hesitating."

"You haven't been in a good condition since you woke up. The reason I asked you to do so many things in the past two days is to keep you busy. Everyone's life should be respected, and everyone has the right to fight for survival."

"We will all survive. I will get everyone out of here. Trust me."

"So you don't need to ask me to visit your grandma. You can go visit your grandma by yourself."

Li Cancan was already crying loudly, with tears falling from her eyes like pearls. Afraid that her crying would disturb the sleeping people, Li Cancan covered her mouth tightly, and her fingertips turned white.

It turned out that he knew everything, but he just didn't say it out loud.

Under Baili Xin's gaze, Li Cancan felt like a child who had finally found a home and felt what it was like to be at peace for the first time.

There was wisdom and tolerance in his eyes that was not supposed to be in someone of his age. Baili Xin's eyes were clear and pure, just like the most precious and beautiful black pearl that had been precipitated and tempered over a long period of time.

It took a long time before Li Cancan controlled her tears, but she couldn't stop sobbing.

After Li Cancan had completely recovered, Baili Xin said, "Go back to sleep. We have a tough battle tomorrow."

Li Cancan had put away her previous confusion and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

The two of them tiptoed into the room, one in front and one behind, with heavy breathing coming one after another.

In the darkness, a ball of silky mist gently wrapped around Baili Xin's body from behind, slowly tightening its strength and asking, "Do you feel bad for her?"

Baili Xin: "Not really, I just want to reduce unnecessary sacrifices. According to my guess, even if it is a sacrifice to the river god, the one being sacrificed is not her, but me as a saint. Her sacrifice will have no effect other than killing herself."

A deep voice slid past my ear: "You are smarter than her."

Let's wait and see whether this young man, who has been destined to die since entering the game, can survive.

Although I like him very much, if he can't even survive this, he doesn't deserve to be in my collection.

At cockcrow the next day, all the players stood outside at once.

There were originally 25 people, but now there are only 10 left.

58 hours have passed and there are only 14 hours left in the countdown.

Many villager NPCs came this time, and each NPC was holding a saw or a steel knife.

The village chief frowned and looked at the people in front of him: "Why are there only 10 people left? Follow me, all of you follow me this time!"

Everyone was a little surprised, but still followed the village chief.

Soon, they followed the villager NPC into the mountains.

Village chief: "Today we only have one task, to build a boat."

He paused, his dark eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Baili Xin, "Saint, you have other work to do."

Seeing Baili Xin leave with the village chief, Li Cancan quickly asked, "What about mine? Am I not the Saint's maid? Don't you need me?"

The village chief looked at Li Cancan slowly with an expressionless face and said, "No need, you cut down trees and build boats."

The village chief took Baili Xin through the woods. Because his legs were stiff, he walked very slowly. It took him more than half an hour to finally bring Baili Xin to a room he had never been to before.

Four NPCs holding iron rods stood outside the house. The village chief pointed to the room and said, "Go in."

Baili Xin pushed open the door and just as he walked into the room, he heard the door being closed from the outside and locked.

The village chief's voice rang out from outside the door: "This is your punishment for stealing Bao'er's tablet yesterday! Your job today is to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors and copy scriptures! You can only leave after you have copied all the scriptures on the table, otherwise you can never leave this room!"

"If you dare to leave by force, I will not only break your legs, but also the legs of your companions!"

Baili Xin slowly lowered his hand from the door.

You must pay for what you have done. It seems that I made the village chief angry yesterday.

Baili Xin looked around and found that this was a small study.

The bookshelf next to it is filled with books, and there is a thick pile of scriptures on the desk.

Baili Xin did not rush to copy the scriptures, but walked to the bookshelf to look through them.

Most of the books on the bookshelf are about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom. The corners of each book are a little torn, as if it has been read many times, and there are often annotations made with pen where necessary.

The handwriting is beautiful.

Baili Xin rummaged through the bookshelf for a while and found a piece of paper stuck in a book. The handwriting was still the same beautiful, but the content on the paper was not so clear.

The word "Go to hell" was written all over the paper in red pen, it looked bloody and really ruined the view.

Baili Xin flipped through the books for a while and found similar papers in several other books.

Looking at the blood-stained papers, Baili Xin fell into deep thought.

The village chief kept his word and would not let Baili Xin leave until he finished copying. Baili Xin was locked in there the whole time, and only when he went to the toilet did the villagers and NPC let him leave for a while.

But because of the village chief's threat, he could not let go. It was not until 11 hours later when Baili Xin finished copying all the scriptures that the guards let him go.

At this moment, the sun has set.

70 hours have passed, and only the last 2 hours are left.

The demon-destroying dagger is still stuck in Baili Xin's waist, and only the last 5% of the truth about the river god's curse remains.

Originally, I thought everyone had returned a long time ago, but when Baili Xin returned to his residence, he found that the room was empty. Only the red spider was tied up in the room, staring at Baili Xin vigilantly, with fear in its little eyes.

It kept scratching the floor, looking outside eagerly.

Baili Xin walked towards it, and the red spider subconsciously shrank its neck.

The next second, Chi Zhu felt the restraints on his body loosen, and it turned out that it was Baili Xin who untied him.

The red spider did not dare to turn back and scratch Baili Xin, but was afraid of getting a beating, so it quickly kicked its feet and rushed out.

After running for a while, Chi Zhu looked back vigilantly.

It doesn't matter if you don't look, because Baili Xin, who you thought had let you go, is chasing you closely.

The red spider immediately ran forward for its life.

It ran away, he chased it, it couldn't escape even if it had wings!

Finally, the red spider stopped at a place, bent down and scratched the ground hard.

Baili Xin looked around and soon knew where this place was.

The underground ancestral hall where the village chief enshrined Sang Baoer's tablet was right under his feet.
