Confused
In Bai Wu's previous life, this was something with scientific basis, but obviously this place was not a place where science was practiced.
Bai Wu decided to start looking for details.
He first started the third cycle. When he met the witch again, Bai Wu felt that the witch should be the key to his leaving here:
"Hello, I'm lost. How can I get out of this village?"
The witch stopped walking, and looked at Bai Wu with her eye sockets without eyeballs as she followed his words:
"Go out?" The witch's voice sounded very old.
There was no information about any mutants in Bai Wu's eyes, and the same went for the paper figures that could move.
If these things were human, could they live for seven hundred years
If these things are evil, then why don't the eyes give any information about the level of mutation
Bai Wu had a guess in his heart.
The witch shook her head and said:
"Once an outsider... walks in, they have to... make a choice. Ahem... they can't leave."
"What choice?"
"The evil creature will cause death wherever it goes. Only by suppressing it in the lake can we save everyone... The plague is coming, the natural disaster is coming..."
The witch is worthy of her name. Her mumbling words did not bring any information.
However, Bai Wu still analyzed some things.
"Is there any scary ghost in the lake in the north? What is a water ghost?"
The witch looked confused and said nothing. Finally, she ignored the white fog and left in the same skipping manner as before.
"There are too few clues. It seems we have to go into those rooms and take a look."
Funeral house. Wedding house. Paper doll house.
Bai Wu came out of the paper man house and didn't find any clues. He only knew that these paper men were used as sacrifices.
Bai Wu returned to the room where the paper figures were used as sacrifices. Coincidentally, those paper figures seemed to know Bai Wu's thoughts. When Bai Wu returned, they all scattered and then stacked neatly in their original positions.
But Bai Wu noticed one thing. After he finished talking to the witch, the mist became thicker and the hair around him became denser...
Regarding the starry sky above his head, he clearly had no notes in his eyes, but at this moment it was covered with dark clouds.
Under the effect of enhanced vision, Bai Wu looked at the night clouds and felt that a rainstorm was coming.
He began searching the three other houses at the edge of the yard.
The first room was a guest house. Bai Wu looked around but didn't see anything valuable.
Then he went to the kitchen, the woodshed and the toilet, but still didn't find anything useful.
Relying on the Eye of Prell, Bai Wu didn't have to spend much effort, and each room took no more than ten minutes.
Finally, Bai Wu came to the storage room.
There were a lot of things in the storage room, and Bai Wu's eyes fell on an iron box.
Each game has a time limit, and you can cycle through this circular street countless times, but every time you obtain key information, you will be one step closer to the final choice.
The information was still like a riddle, but Bai Wu roughly understood it through some things that happened just now.
"It seems that several key points in this scene contain clues about the scene... and every time a clue is revealed, the hair seems to become thicker..."
Bai Wu didn't know what the final scene would be like. If he was trapped here forever, would these hairs growing out of the ground...will they submerge the entire village
"The various hints in this village seem to be intended to make me focus on weddings, funerals, paper doll houses, and fortune-tellers."
"Except for the witch, I have not met a living person so far..."
Bai Wu opened the iron box.
At this moment, strong resentment overflowed from the iron box, and hair began to pour out of the box frantically.
Bai Wu didn't hesitate. He took out the bronze axe and started chopping the hair. He swung the bronze axe very quickly, and the hair flew all over the place and fell to the ground like worms.
They kept squirming, and the next moment, they all turned into black mist and returned to the box. The hair that had just grown out of the iron box seemed to have never existed.
Finally, what appeared in Bai Wu's eyes was a tattered object that looked like an old almanac.
Bai Wu took a look and found that it was indeed an old almanac. Various good and bad luck were written above the dates, and taboos were written next to the dates.
The date was blurred and the time could not be discerned, but the handwriting in the blank space could be barely recognized.
The white mist began to flip through.
"Today is a good day for marriage. The Zhu family and the Zhao family are getting married. Both families have seen unclean things. Everyone is really at a loss as to what to do with them, so they are thinking about doing something else to dispel them in a festive way..."
The contents of the blank space on the calendar seemed to be a diary. After Bai Wu finished reading one page, he turned to another:
"Everything went wrong. The Feng family is also a wealthy family. They also saw the unclean thing. All the people who saw it before died the next day. Now the people of the Feng family are also starting to get anxious. They are thinking that maybe only the dead can avoid death."
“Don’t cut your hair. The witch told me to prepare enough paper figurines to ward off bad luck. I knew that one day it would be my turn, but I didn’t expect that day to come so soon… I saw that thing, it was all black, with very long hair. Ever since this unclean thing came, the whole village has been experiencing more and more bad luck. Damn it! Damn it!”
"It is forbidden to bury it and dig up the ground. More and more people have seen it, and more and more people have died. The whole village has begun to smell like paper ash. We should resist! Only by killing that unclean thing can we stop the spread of death."
Each paragraph is not very long, just a small paragraph.
Bai Wu kept turning the pages and found that a lot of the content was about people living in the village seeing some evil creature.
This creature had black skin and overly thick hair. The strange thing was that although no one had ever seen this monster before, they all knew it came from the lake.
"This should be a demon that has gone evil and fallen... I can't see the time, but there are no demons or monsters in this world. The time should be the last few years before the tower."
Bai Wu continued to turn the pages.
On a day when renovation work was about to start, someone saw a black monster appear in the home of an elderly person in the north of the village. The monster made a terrifying and creepy cry.
The sound seemed like some kind of curse. The next day, the old man died silently.
On a day that was taboo for praying and planting, a child from the Hu family in the south of the village saw a monster with long black hair in his woodshed.
He was frightened to death and was sent to a fortune teller's house. He woke up after drinking a bowl of magic water. The last thing the Hu family child saw was an ugly face smiling at him.
That smile was so evil and sinister that the Hu family's child fainted from fear. But the story was not over yet.
The next day, the Hu family was burned down by a fire. The child survived at the witch's house, but the two elderly people in the Hu family... died in the fire. When the two charred corpses were dug out, every villager had fear on his face.
They were tortured so badly by that monster. That monster was simply the god of death and a plague.
The calendars, which have dozens of pages, record dozens of tragedies that occurred in the village over certain years.
In the last calendar, there is no death or curse, only the people in this village's accusation of curse and fear.
What have we done wrong? We sacrifice so many animals and so many offerings to Zao Lake every year, why won't the lake god let us go? We have been here for generations, and we just want to survive!
The villagers seemed to have made up their minds to fight the black monster.
The strong resentment when the box was opened might have come from the villagers. Bai Wu's expression remained calm.
The villagers tried everything to avoid their bad luck, but the curse did not spare them.
What did the villagers do in the end
It started to rain heavily. Even inside the house, Bai Wu could hear the sudden downpour.
The heavy rain seemed to be about to submerge the village.
When he walked out of the house, he found that all the paper people had hidden in the house, watching the heavy rain coming with indifference.
The hair on their backs was so thick that it blocked the windows of every room. It looked pitch black at first glance, and if you walked closer, you would find that it was just a pile of hair. It was indeed a terrifying scene.
Bai Wu had no sense of fear. He faced the rain and came to the street again.
On this endlessly circular street, the festive music played by the suona is particularly harsh.
The hair on the ground seemed like it could hook people's feet at any time.
Bai Wu suddenly felt that what lay before him was a multiple-choice question.
After consulting the witch, the hair on the ground became thicker and thicker. After opening the iron box, this change happened again.
The hair of the paper figures in that room was so thick that it covered the entire room.
The weather also changed from cloudless at the beginning to overcast, and then to heavy rain.
Bai Wu stood in the heavy rain, looking at two houses not far apart. The final secret of this scene was in these two houses.
One house is for funerals, and the other is for weddings. The note from the Eye of Prell confirmed Bai Wu's idea:
When you have enough data in a game, it is time to make your own choice. Approach this red house, lift the red veil of the bride, you can find the door and the key, then you can leave here.
This was the comment that popped up in Bai Wu's eyes when he looked at the house where the wedding was being held.
He did not make a choice immediately, but looked towards the house where the funeral was held.
We all know that everything has two sides. Open the coffin and lie in it. You can find the door and the key, and then you will fall into a deeper world. Guess, your poor little one is hiding outside or inside
pick one of two.
The hair is growing wildly, and the rain is pouring down. The white fog has little time left, and this area will soon be covered and swallowed by the hair.
The two choices are either to leave here or to enter the next more twisted scene.
Bai Wu had to make a choice, and finally, he walked into the white house.
In the yard filled with wreaths and funeral supplies, there was a wooden coffin. In the center of the mourning hall, there was an old black-and-white photo that was so blurry that no facial features could be seen at all.
The yard was dead silent, and the white mist slowly moved towards the coffin.
He decided to go to a deeper world. He was now convinced that the captain must be trapped in a looping scene just like himself.
The captain has no way of getting the information he has obtained. If the mutation of this place is not solved from the source, I am afraid that the captain will stay in this area forever.
The other one is Hong Yin. Where did she go
She was helping the villagers deal with the evil in the lake, a monster that brought death wherever it went.
Bai Wu guessed that Hong Yin must have entered a deeper area.
…
…
Outside the tower.
Liu Hu began to tear the hair that was growing longer and longer frantically. The heads of the paper figures and the witch who only appeared on certain roads were all destroyed by Liu Hu's brute force.
He shouted loudly, hoping to get a response from his companions, but to no avail.
Black hair grew out from the broken part of the paper man's neck, and those hairs connected to the paper man's body like a puppet's strings.
Their bodies that were destroyed by Liu Hu were slowly pieced together again.
As for the witch, her head was crushed by Liu Hu.
But when Liu Hu reached the next cycle... even though Liu Hu had terrifying brute force, he was still scared.
A bloody head was jumping up and down on the ground, as if looking for something. Not far away, the body was also jumping up and down, following the previous trajectory.
Liu Hu was stunned by this bizarre scene and felt a chill on his back.
He thought that all the people he met were evil, but this place... there was no evil at all.
There were more and more hairs, and no matter how Liu Hu pulled them out, it was useless. The hairs kept growing, and the whole village seemed to be swallowed up by the hairs.
Including Liu Hu.
He kept running and came to the red house, where he heard the sound of people worshiping heaven and earth coming from the house.
This house, which was decorated quite festively, looked more gloomy than the house where a funeral was held.
Because there were no guests in the whole hall, only a couple getting married. They were like two puppets, their movements were very stiff and repeated over and over again.
It was raining heavily, but they were completely unaware.
Liu Hu could have escaped from the area by simply lifting the bride's red veil, but he didn't.
Because he couldn't get this level of information at all.
The bride's veil was not lifted by Liu Hu, but was blown off by the wind when Liu Hu kicked the bride in the lower abdomen.
To Liu Hu, everything in the whole scene was incomprehensible. He had no idea there was a lake outside the village.
He didn't know there were evil monsters in the lake... He just wanted to escape from here, and if he couldn't escape from here, he would destroy this place.
But Liu Hu obviously has not realized that what is more dangerous than the evil is the distorted rules of the world outside the tower.
In the absence of Doomsday debris, everyone has to follow the rules.
Of course, Liu Hu is not the only one who has been mentally broken by this area...
Cain, Yan Zizai, and Xie Xingzhi, the three not-so-reckless beings, also looked confused in this area.
…
…
"White Team? Valley Team?"
Cain shouted loudly. He didn't want to stay in the red area for too long. As soon as he came in and saw those paper people, he knew something was wrong here.
These things are not evil, but the products of certain rules.
Although he does not have the Eye of Preyor, Cain has extensive experience in surviving outside the tower.
This kind of area is the most troublesome, a thousand times more troublesome than the battle area where you have to find and kill the guardian.
So Cain planned to plunder Bai Wu directly here, take over his body, and then use the return roulette to go back.
He did think so, but the problem was that Bai Wu and Wu Jiu were missing.
As a being who could use distortion terms in a human body, Cain did not panic.
"It seems... different invaders will enter different scenes? Or are we actually very close... but in some special state, unable to sense each other's existence?"
He soon discovered that this place was a looping scene, and no matter which way he walked, he would return to the same place.
There are only three living people in the whole scene: a couple getting married and a witch without eyes.
These three so-called living people are neither real humans nor evil.
With just one glance, Cain could feel the resentment attached to them.
They were behaving strangely, but Cain couldn't care less; he needed information about this place.
Although he couldn't obtain everything through his eyes like Bai Wu, he had his own way of sensing the existence around him, the most evil, darkest or most terrifying memories.
Back when he was in the Noble Academy, he used these memories to drive those guards crazy one after another.
This time, Cain planned to use the same method, the perfect-level distortion entry - Shocking Evil Reflection, to obtain information about this area.
Only this time... Cain miscalculated.
It was he himself who almost went crazy.
