According to the customs of Ankang Town, Hu Ayun is a girl chosen by the mountain god.
But Hu Ayu, who is a twin sister, knew that her sister had a relationship with her lover long before the wedding.
Hu Ayun almost naively believed that such an insignificant thing as being chosen by the mountain god would not happen to her, so she and her lover had long ago disobeyed the rules of the town and crossed the bottom line before getting married.
The mountain god has been a belief in Ankang Township for many generations, and Hu Ayun and Hu Ayu also firmly believed in it.
But when she became a sacrifice, Hu Ayun found that she didn't want to die. She didn't want to be skinned and boned to make a cool white umbrella, and she was also afraid of being discovered by the sorceress that her body was no longer pure, and she was afraid of offending the mountain god.
So after Hu Ayun was taken to the mountain temple, before the sacrificial ceremony, together with her lover, the two secretly left here together.
Hu Ayu knew about this plan, and she even took the risk to secretly bribe the townspeople who guarded Hu Ayun at the mountain temple to facilitate communication between her sister and her lover.
But on the day of the sacrifice, when the time agreed by Hu Ayun and her lover arrived, she did not see the man.
Later results were the same.
Like the "chosen" girls in the town before, Hu Ayun was treated as a sacrifice, skinned and boned by the sorceress, and the skin and bones were used as umbrellas, and the body was taken to a remote mountain.
Hu Ayun and Hu Ayu's parents thought it was a happy event, and they were so happy that they even held a banquet to celebrate Hu Ayun's death. And the man who was supposed to be Hu Ayun's husband... is still living peacefully in Ankang Town, and got engaged to another girl within a few months. I don't know if this man slipped his mouth. I don't know when, the town is full of rumors, saying that Hu Ayun was not pure when he sacrificed to the mountain god.
Rumors spread everywhere, and lights went out when people died.
Except for Hu Ayun's death and the rumors flying all over the sky, Ankang Town seems to have no other changes.
But after a few months, people suddenly started to die in the town—the first one was the man who was supposed to marry Hu Ayun.
The state of death of the corpse was horrific. At night, the man's screams penetrated the neighbors, and someone went to check, and saw a bloody and skinless female ghost pressing the man, tearing his flesh, frightened to see the man. The person ran away immediately. The next day, when the morning came, the townspeople went to see the man and found that the man had been skinned and boned, and died in the blood all over the ground.
—The death method is exactly the same as being sacrificed to the mountain god.
Afterwards, Hu Ayun and Hu Ayu's parents, the man's current wife, and other people in the town... all died in this way one after another.
Everyone thought it was because of Hu Ayun's uncleanness, the mountain god was furious and brought them retribution.
From that day on, people in the town began to be more and more afraid of the mountain god. What happened after that coincided with all the clues that Yan Wei had detected in the past two days—the sorcerer discovered that every time a person died, the skinless female ghost would throw the skin and bones of the deceased at the bottom of the well and let the sorceress make an umbrella. The witch later discovered that as long as there was a skin and bone umbrella at the door, the skinless female ghost would kill those people first, so she began to attract travelers to live in the mountain temple, and exchanged the lives of travelers for the lives of townspeople.
Yan Wei and others are the latest group of travelers.
When Hu Ayu spoke, the whole picture of the dungeon was displayed in front of Yan Wei.
Lou's notification tone also sounded, and Yan Wei got this quick answer point alone, and this story clue was also announced to other players. Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang both scored 4 points in the rush to answer at the moment, reaching a tie for first place. After this clue was announced, the players returned to the same starting point again.
In the past few minutes, Yan Wei had already obtained the quick answer points, so the players in the kitchen naturally didn't need to continue fighting, they all put away their hands and rushed over here.
"You don't believe in mountain gods, you believe in mountain ghosts." Yan Wei asked, "That's all you know?"
Hu Ayu nodded: "Yes... That's why people in the town don't like me... They think that these disasters are brought about by our family."
Yan Wei smiled: "Thank you, these days are not peaceful, you have to be careful."
Since Hu Ayu herself said that she has no other information, no matter whether she is telling the truth or lying, it means that the points that can be asked from her are gone.
The rest of the players glanced at each other without hesitation. They didn't stay here at all, and each left - they were going to other places to find quick answer points.
Yan Mingguang whipped the long whip in his hand, dragged Yan Wei to his side neatly, and said calmly, "Let's go too."
Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang went down the mountain.
The people in the town didn't have a good look at these foreign travelers. At first, everyone thought that the town was xenophobic, but now they finally understood that it was because the townspeople felt that these players would die sooner or later, and there was no need to waste their feelings.
But Yan Wei is different.
His years of experience in various religions and nine streams played a role, coupled with his harmless appearance to humans and animals, Yan Wei didn't make any special effort at all, just kept his cute appearance that made people approachable, and the townspeople could do as much as they wanted. I have some good feelings.
It didn't take much time for the two of them to arrive at the cemetery in Ankang Town.
[Why didn't you ask me why I came here first instead of going to the well? After all, there are finger bones under the well that we haven't collected yet.]Yan Wei flicked the whip, and pulled Yan Mingguang like a prank, [Always silent, suffocating, dead ice.]
Yan Mingguang was not pulled by him at all, but still walked steadily ahead, and said cooperatively: [Well, why?]
Yan Wei: "..." I don't know why there is no sense of accomplishment at all.
[Because only we know about the phalanx, other players will only feel that there are no clues at the bottom of the well, and the only other person who may know is Ning Yi—she has a way to deal with the skin bone umbrella and the skinless girl, and the clues in her hand are very likely pertaining to the phalanges. But she came to the kitchen first thing in the morning. If she knew about the phalanges, she would not waste this time coming to the kitchen, but would go down to the well at dawn. So I think that even if she has clues related to the phalanx, she didn't directly mention the phalanx.]
[Then we are not in a hurry, anyway, only we know the phalanx,] Yan Wei curled his lips, [Now I want to see who died under the hands of the skinless female ghost, and what is the order of their death, And my debuff, I don't believe it fell on me randomly.]
Yan Wei even suspected Hu Ayu a little bit. After all, the name of this debuff is "Girl's Love", and Hu Ayu really likes him the most among all the players.
But since Hu Ayu is twenty-eight years old, Lou should not define twenty-eight years old as a girl, and he also has a skull eye prop, which can see danger once in the dungeon, and he can wait until there is no one else. Take a look at Hu Ayu with the eyes of the skull.
So Yan Wei chose to come to the cemetery of Ankang Town first, to confirm who the townspeople were killed by the skinless female ghost in the past ten years, and the order of death of these people—since the first to die was the man who betrayed Hu Ayun, then The identity and order of the dead can never be random.
He can't let go of any possible clues now, because the ladder clues have no clear direction so far.
He and Yan Mingguang made this clear, and the two of them have already entered this cemetery.
Ankang Town, which is isolated from the outside world, still maintains the ancient funeral customs, and the cemetery is at the foot of the mountain. One after another, grave mounds piled with soil and erected with monuments were scattered here and there, obviously they were buried wherever there was space, and there was nothing particular about it. But there is only one place that is particularly crowded and tidy, and it was obviously built in a close time.
—The tombs of the flayed dead, as the townspeople said.
"It's creepy..." Yan Wei muttered.
These graves are all in the most remote corners, as if they are afraid of their bad luck. And each tombstone is hung with a stone-carved umbrella, and the names of these people are written on the tombstones, as well as the times of their birth and death.
This crowded cemetery was overgrown with weeds and was barren, with not even a trace of worship, which was enough to show that the townspeople kept secret about these dead.
The breeze blew, the tall weeds swayed gently, Yan Wei felt a little cool on his neck.
If this cemetery is not taken care of, but someone is buried in it immediately after death...then the innermost one should be the person who died first.
He crossed one grave after another and walked inside, parted the weeds in front of him, and read the name on the tombstone in front of him: "Li Yishu..."
"Hu Ayun's original fiancé." Yan Mingguang said.
"Then it seems to be him..." Yan Wei pulled out the weeds in front of him forcefully, leaned over to the tombstone slightly, intending to take a closer look at the information on the tombstone, "Then he did die very early, but why? These tombstones are so dirty and old, and these mounds don't look solid at all—"
Yan Wei's voice stopped abruptly.
In front of his eyes, on the old and desolate mound, the slightly raised mound seemed to shake slightly.
A bloody head slowly protruded from the mound, the skinless face was facing Yan Wei, and the eyes covered with thick blood mixed with mud looked at him lifelessly. The skinless head moved slightly...
— gave him a hideous smile.
Yan Wei paused, without blinking his eyes, and showed a standard smile at the skinless ghost.
The next moment, the weeds that had just been pulled out from the young man's hands were violently lifted, he turned around and ran towards Yan Mingguang, shouting, "Sun!! The fuck is haunted!! Teacher Yan, help me!!! "
Gambling area.
After Jiang Xiu and Zheng Mao died, Yuemang was left with Ning Yi who turned off the projection from the beginning to the end. Yuemang's people were nothing to look at, and most of them left. The other players quarreled.
"Jiang Xiu is dead. No matter who wins the best player this time, it will be an upset. Yan even killed Jiang Xiu with his own hands. Isn't it the most likely?"
"Don't forget, Yan was able to kill Jiang Xiu because of the right time, place and people. If he didn't happen to be in a well, and he happened to have Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou to help him, how could he complete the point control? Those three points were actually Can Yan Mingguang, Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou take it together?"
"Actually, I think the four of them got it together, right? The player named Yan Wei next to Yan Mingguang doesn't seem to be as useless as everyone said. Although he didn't make any contribution before, he didn't hold back. He even got it today." One point for quick answer—although it depends on the favor of the npc, it is also a contribution."
"Don't forget who won the first two points. It's possible that Yan Wei hasn't opened his eyes. Now he's not afraid to slap his face when he speaks big. What if it's a hidden boss?"
"Too-"
The discussion of these people suddenly stopped.
In Yan Mingguang's live broadcast, Yan Wei, whom everyone thought might have potential just now, was followed by a skinless ghost crawling out of the soil. He quickly ran towards Yan Mingguang, shouting "" Teacher Yan, help me."
"I think you are right," a player sighed, "running so fast, he is really a hidden master with potential."
Other players: "..."
