Zhou Guang: "What the hell is poisoning? Who has been poisoned and all the bones in his body 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: “…”
Um, sorry, occupational disease has struck me.
Ding! Congratulations to the player for cracking the truth of the River God's Curse 5. Currently, the truth of the River God's Curse has been completed 95.
A system prompt sounded in Baili Xin's mind.
Xia Chi's eyes suddenly lit up: "95. Great, we only need 5 more to win."
There were two skeletons entangled on the ground, not the normal white color of other skeletons, but a bluish-black 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 intense 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 hard for a long time to separate them but failed.
It took several people half an hour to carry the corpse to Grandma Sang at the charity cemetery. Grandma Sang ran up to 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 Baoer. 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. They were entangled in this evil relationship during their lifetime, and they 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 angrily, his head clenched tightly, the veins on his head bursting.
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 what happened to them."
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 Baoer, you see, Sang Baoer sacrificed her own happiness to save the villagers, 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 wanted to kill someone with someone else's knife? She misled us into thinking that the most suspicious person was 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 pulled out their hair but 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."
