Wu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Miss Gu is right. The barefoot doctor did not lie."

According to the barefoot doctor, children are prone to amnesia and need to be treated with grass ghost core. Also, because children have weak souls, they are easily possessed by mountain ghosts.

The mountain ghost is the curser of Qingshan Village, and it not only takes away the souls of children, but also the souls of adults. However, because the villagers used grass ghost cores to treat the children's amnesia, their souls were not taken away by the mountain ghost, and they were able to escape the curse of the mountain ghost, which is why this rag doll exists.

This rag doll is not cursed by the mountain ghost, unlike those adults who were cursed to become ghost dolls.

The barefoot doctor's words have already solved their doubts in a disguised way.

The thin man concluded: "So, the ghost dolls that attacked Mr. Wang and Ms. Gu these two nights were transformed from the souls of adults who were cursed. They have great malice towards the players. On the contrary, the rag dolls transformed from the ghosts of children are on the side of the players and will not actively attack us?"

"Yes." Wu Yang said affirmatively.

After listening to Wu Yang and the thin man's analysis, Lin Dandan, Wang Peiyang and the fat man showed a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces.

Because of Wu Yang's previous suggestion, they would get together every evening to share information. There was not much information gap between them, so it was easy to guess the correct direction. As long as they were not too stupid, they could more or less get in touch.

The fat man looked at his brother, then at Gu Jiu and Lu Ji, unwilling to admit that he was an idiot who couldn't use his brain.

Wang Peiping and Lin Dandan no longer wanted to talk.

Forget about Wu Yang and Skinny, Gu Jiu and Lu Ji are both newcomers, why could they all guess it

The fat man suddenly realized something was wrong and said hurriedly, "That's not right. Since the children in the village have escaped the mountain ghost's curse by chance because of the ghost grass core that cured their amnesia, why did their souls turn into rag dolls?"

Lin Dandan and Wang Peiping were both stunned, even the thin guy was speechless.

Wu Yang said, "Maybe it's because even though they escaped from the mountain ghosts, they died in the end." After a pause, he said, "This is just my guess."

This is an unanswered question for now.

Lin Dandan asked again: "Brother Wu, since the souls of the fifty-seven children in the village have also turned into rag dolls, where are these rag dolls?"

There are 238 rag dolls in Granny Wang’s house, all of which are ghost dolls transformed from the souls of adults. Where are the rag dolls transformed from the souls of the village children

"I don't know." Wu Yang said, looking at the rag doll in Gu Jiu's hand, "Maybe it knows."

Everyone's eyes fell on the rag doll, and they saw it smiling at them. Its smile was innocent, and although it was still eerie and spooky, it did have some of the innocence and carefreeness of a child.

Lu Ji looked at Gu Jiu with a thoughtful look on his face.

The child who gave Gu Jiu the rag doll said that he hoped she would help them do something. Could it be that he actually wanted her to help them find the rag doll that their soul had turned into

The thin man asked an important question, "Now that we know the cause of the curse, how do we escape from the cursed village?"

They are sure that everyone in the village is dead, and their souls have been cursed by mountain ghosts and turned into ghost dolls. According to the nature of the game world, if they want to pass the level, the ghost dolls transformed from the souls of adults will be the biggest obstacle and may even kill them.

Wu Yang paused for a moment and said, "If my guess is correct, we should be able to find a way to pass the level by finding the rag dolls that were transformed from the souls of those children."

Suddenly, everyone looked at the rag doll in Gu Jiu's hand with shining eyes.

"Then let's go find it quickly." Lin Dandan said excitedly.

Wang Peiping also urged, eager to leave this place full of ghosts.

The fat man poured a bucket of cold water on him, "Do you know where to find it?"

The two people were so excited that they choked for a moment. Wang Peiping quickly said, "Could it be at Granny Wang's house? How about we go to Granny Wang's house and take a look?"

"I don't think it's possible." Wu Yang analyzed calmly, "Granny Wang said yesterday that the doll in Miss Gu's hand was not made by her. Her dolls all have marks. This is also a disguised explanation that the nature of dolls transformed from the souls of adults and children is different. Since Granny Wang has ghost dolls transformed from the souls of adults, there will be no children's dolls, because the relationship between the two types of dolls is opposite."

The fat brothers thought that Wu Yang's analysis was correct. NPCs in the game world rarely lied. A D-level game world copy like this was not difficult, and NPCs would not deliberately play tricks on players.

Lin Dandan suggested: "How about we search one house at a time, avoid the villagers, and sneak into their houses to look for it?"

There are a total of sixty-six households in the village. It doesn't take much time to search each household one by one. This is also the dumbest and most direct way.

Wang Peiping immediately objected, saying excitedly: "These villagers are all ghosts! If all the villagers are ghosts like the three members of the Li family, then we are in a den of ghosts, right?"

This was a reminder to those present.

There are fewer and fewer villagers in the village, which shows that many villagers are like the three members of the Li family, who can no longer move outside and can only stay in the dark house as ghosts. If they go in to search, they will definitely encounter villagers who have turned into ghosts. If they are trapped by ghosts, it will not be easy to escape.

The fat man was a little worried, "What should I do then?"

At this time, Gu Jiu stood up and said, "Why not let it lead the way?"

Everyone looked at the doll in her hand and thought that this was indeed a good idea, but could it really help them lead the way

"We already know that these rag dolls and ghost dolls are in opposition, which means that their situation is not good, so they took the risk to find us and need our help." Gu Jiu casually shook the rag doll in his hand, "Since it wants our help, it must show us the way."

The doll had a smiling face but didn't react.

Lin Dandan and Wang Peiping both looked doubtful again.

So they left the village entrance and turned back to the village.

Because of Gu Jiu who was holding them back, they still walked very slowly. When they met villagers on the road, the fat man still greeted them enthusiastically.

Wang Peiping couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "They are all ghosts, and you actually have the guts to greet them."

"But they don't look like ghosts now." The fat man retorted, "And I think that as long as they don't reveal their ghostly side now, they are not ghosts."

Wang Peiping choked and wanted to refute, but didn't know where to start.

"Fatty is right." Wu Yang agreed, "This is a game world. As long as the villagers don't realize they are ghosts, there is no need to worry too much. I have a guess. After these villagers are transformed into real ghosts, Qingshan Village will become very dangerous. We must pass the level and leave before all the villagers become ghosts, otherwise we will be left."

These words made everyone nervous.

Thinking back to the villagers I met today, there were less than a hundred of them. If these one hundred villagers don’t show up during the day, Qingshan Village will become a ghost cave. Can living people still survive here

This time even the optimistic fat man can't be optimistic.

Gu Jiu looked down at the rag doll, fiddling with it from time to time.

When they passed the village chief's house, the smile on the doll's face turned into a bitter face.

Lin Dandan and the others who had been paying attention to the rag doll were a little excited. The fat man whispered, "Its face has changed again. Could it be that the rag dolls transformed from the souls of those children are in the village chief's house?"

"I think it's possible." Wang Peiping also looked excited. "The village chief is the head of the village, the highest status in the village, and the NPC we interact with most frequently. He kindly gives us hints every day. Maybe it's really hidden in his house."

This statement is somewhat right and somewhat wrong, and sounds unfounded.

Fatty and Lin Dandan couldn't make up their minds.

The thin man said: "Your analysis is totally unfounded."

"But its expression has changed." Wang Peiping argued.

"Its expression changes frequently." Gu Jiu adjusted his glasses and refuted him bluntly, "Whether it was in the ancestral hall, at Old Li's house, or when it was attacked by the ghost doll at night, its expression changed. It's better to say that whenever it encounters ghosts, its expression will change."

Wu Yang nodded slightly, "Miss Gu is right."

Wang Peiping was refuted by several people and was unhappy for a while, but he still said unwillingly: "How about we go to the village chief's house to take a look? It's lunch time anyway."

This time Gu Jiu didn't refuse and touched her belly: "Okay."

When the seven people entered the village chief's yard, they smelled the fragrance of food. It was obvious that the village chief's wife was already preparing lunch.

The village chief was not at home.

Everyone looked over at the village chief's wife who was busy in the kitchen and found that she was so busy that she didn't pay attention to the situation outside, so they quickly split up to search.

Gu Jiu and Lu Ji were guarding in the yard.

Until the village head's wife prepared lunch, they still had nothing to gain.

Lin Dandan, Wang Peiping and the fat man all looked obviously frustrated, but Wu Yang and the thin man were not too surprised.

At lunch time, the village chief came back and he and his wife kept urging them to eat more.

Wang Peiping, Lin Dandan and the two fat brothers all had a hard time eating. When they thought that the meals they had eaten these days were cooked by ghosts, the food on the table no longer tasted good.

Looking at Wu Yang, Gu Jiu and Lu Ji again, Wu Yang is efficient and always eats very quickly; Gu Jiu is a spoiled girl and has become picky after eating farm food for several days in a row, but she doesn't treat her stomach badly and still eats what she should eat; Lu Ji eats slowly with a calm expression, without any abnormality.

These three are all werewolves.

"How can you still eat?" the fat man asked in a low voice.

Wu Yang knew what they were thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the ingredients are all normal. The game world will not let players eat abnormal food and damage their bodies. The food is still guaranteed."

After getting affirmation from the "big boss" who had experienced four copies of the game, Fatty and his friends were finally able to fill their stomachs with peace of mind.

After lunch, they continued their search for dolls in the village.

We followed this path and finally found Old Li’s house.

"There shouldn't be any in the Li family, right?" The fat man said weakly, "After all, the three members of the Li family have always existed as ghosts."

When they entered the village, other villagers had seen them as human beings, but only the old Li family had never shown up.

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on the face of the rag doll in Gu Jiu's hand turned into an angry look. Its eyes were glaring, its nose was raised, and its little mouth was open, revealing the ghost teeth faintly visible inside, looking like a furious King Kong.

The fat man and his companions were frightened by it.

"It, it, it... why is it angry?" Lin Dandan asked tremblingly.

Gu Jiu did not answer, but looked at the three closed rooms on the first floor of Old Li's house.

Wu Yang said thoughtfully: "In the morning we went into the room on the left, and there are still two rooms that we haven't entered. Why don't we open them and take a look?"

"Brother Wu, don't do that?" Lin Dandan and Wang Peiping said weakly, fearing that after opening it they would see a ghost in broad daylight, which would be terrifying.

Gu Jiu agreed: "I think we can give it a try."

Wu Yang was a decisive man. He immediately stepped forward and came to the door of the middle room. He pushed the middle door, then slammed it hard, and finally kicked it directly.

However, the door remained motionless and very solid.

The door panel looked worn out and fragile, but it was actually so sturdy that it couldn't be kicked open.

Then he kicked towards the door on the far right, which opened easily. It turned out to be a room where miscellaneous items were stored. A stuffy air rushed in, but there was nothing unusual.

Only the middle room cannot be opened.

"It seems to be here." Gu Jiu said affirmatively, with an exceptionally gentle smile on her face, making her look even more obedient.

Seeing the smile on her face, the fat man was a little scared, worried that this delicate young lady would become reckless again.

Wang Peiping and Lin Dandan were also very scared, but their fear was different from Fatty's. "Are those children's ghost dolls really here? Right under our noses?"

It’s scary no matter how you think about it. They are simply living in a den of ghosts.

Wu Yang frowned, "It seems that this door cannot be opened during the day." He carefully recalled the village chief's tireless instructions every day after dinner, filtered all the information, and finally came to a conclusion, "I understand, the only way to escape from Qingshan Village is at night."

"What? At night?" Lin Dandan and the others were frightened again.

The fat man shivered and said, "There are mountain ghosts at night. If we run out like this, will we..."

If the player is possessed by a mountain ghost, he will die.

Gu Jiu said: "This is the rule of the game. Players can only leave the village at night." Conversely, if players try to escape from the cursed village, they will be stopped by all the ghosts and monsters, and the danger is greatly increased.

Wu Yang's expression was a little solemn, but he soon became firm again, "We will leave tonight."

Now that you already know how to pass the level, you can’t retreat out of fear. You have no choice but to face the challenge head-on.
