In the projection screen, Yan Mingguang had already rolled Yan Wei behind him with a long whip, and blocked the ghosts that were chasing him.
This ghost was not considered strong, and even retreated two meters under Yan Mingguang's casual blow.
But just as the ghost was repelled, the surrounding mounds loosened slightly, and skinless ghosts with bloody flesh emerged from the mound. It can be seen from the projection alone that these skinless ghosts have men, women and children, and their attack power is much lower than that of the skinless girl who killed the player at night.
With just one swing of his whip, Yan Mingguang can knock back two or three in an instant.
It seemed that they could easily escape under the siege of the skinless ghosts - if there was no Yan Wei to add to the chaos.
In the picture, the young man whose face could not be seen clearly shouted for help in panic, but did not obediently hide behind Yan Mingguang at all, but ran around like a headless chicken. Originally, Yan Mingguang could quickly repel these skinless ghosts and leave here temporarily, but because Yan Wei was running around everywhere, Yan Mingguang had to take Yan Wei into consideration every time he struck, so he couldn't be too ruthless.
"Who said just now that Yan Wei might have potential? What kind of potential? Is it the potential to hold back?"
"I can't bear to look at it. Wouldn't it be good for him to stay behind Yan Mingguang... These skinless ghosts are too weak, and it depends on Yan Wei to hold Yan Mingguang for so long."
"Yan Wei is really Skinless Ghost's teammate, I'm dying of laughter."
"Maybe if they spend a day here, Ning Yi and Lin Zhen can take the lead. Yan Wei is not only the teammate of Skinless Ghost, but also the teammate of Ning Yi and Lin Zhen!"
"I'm just waiting for this Yan Wei to drag himself to death."
"..."
In the cemetery of the ancient town.
Yan Wei actually did it on purpose. It is one thing to confuse the players in the building watching Yan Mingguang's live broadcast, but the most important thing is that he is looking at those tombstones.
The long whip waved back and forth in mid-air, under the slap, these skinless ghosts dragged their bloody corpses and rushed towards Yan Wei and the others.
Yan Mingguang prevented the skinless ghost from approaching, while Yan Wei dodged, deliberately ran over the surrounding graves, paying attention to the identities and time of death of these people. After waiting until he had seen enough, he was thinking a lot, but still maintained a panicked expression on the surface, and shouted: "Yan Mingguang, why don't we run away!!"
At any rate, they have also cooperated in several crises. Yan Mingguang understood the meaning of such words in an instant.
With a long whip, it wrapped around Yan Wei's wrist and pulled him back to Yan Mingguang's side.
[Let's leave first. I think these skinless ghosts are the same as the skin bone umbrellas made by ordinary dead. They are ghosts one level lower than the skinless female ghost. They are driven by the skinless female ghost. They would besiege us, probably because of the debuff "Girl's Love" on me—the skinless female ghost must also be considered a "girl", if we stay any longer, if the skinless female ghosts also come out, it will not be easy for us to leave.]Yan Wei's tone gradually became serious, [Turn off the projection, go back to our room in the temple first, I need to organize my thoughts, I found a new answer point.]
[it is good.]
Just now Yan Mingguang was just cooperating with Yan Wei, now that he decided to leave, he turned around and pulled Yan Wei away.
When the two ran away from the cemetery, the skinless ghosts did not catch up. It was already afternoon, and on this day of the Mountain God Festival, the town should have been very lively, but there were no people wandering outside, except for an open umbrella in front of every house.
They no longer respect faith, but gradually fear it.
Before going up the mountain, Yan Wei stood at the foot of the slightly high mountain, turned his head and glanced back at Ankang Town.
Yan Mingguang turned off the projector at this moment, and Yan Wei said directly: "Do you think they are reaping the consequences of themselves? Moreover, the so-called belief...they don't believe in and respect the mountain god at all, but worship the expectation that can bring a beautiful vision. The expectation of expectation. When that expectation is absent and the mountain god symbolizes death, they are more afraid than anyone else."
"Human nature."
"I'm so tired of such self-inflicted stories, but you seem to have a high tolerance for this kind of human nature?" Yan Wei turned his head to look at Yan Mingguang, raised his eyebrows, "What did you do before you entered the building? What? We are all on this, so it’s not too much to ask.”
Yan Mingguang remained silent.
Knowing that this person didn't want to talk anymore, Yan Wei said "cut": "It's boring. Then let's go back and sort out the clues. Living in such a disgusting town, I really don't want to stay in this kind of place. "
After searching for nothing all morning, Song Yu returned to the mountain temple again.
Although Ning Yi still has the lowest score at the moment, everyone can see Ning Yi's strength. The mysterious and indifferent seed player of the Moon Mang Organization was able to find two points by himself yesterday, but it is impossible to keep two points today.
If he gets nothing today, he must be one of the bottom.
Song Yu witnessed the death of his roommate on the first night, and he was afraid that he would be the next one. He didn't dare to neglect at all, and ran a few places non-stop. But the townspeople were very wary of him. After the well went down, he lost his way for a long time and had to come out temporarily. Now he had to go back to the mountain temple to look for clues.
As soon as he came back, he saw Hu Ayu in a small garden of the mountain temple.
The beautiful cook had already changed out of her embarrassing clothes. She was wearing a neat long skirt in ethnic costumes, and a round hat decorated with jewels on her head, which further complemented her fair and delicate skin.
When Song Yu walked to the aisle next to the small garden, she was holding a beautifully crafted ordinary oil-paper umbrella in her hand, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
... Could this cook have some clues that others might not have thought of
Song Yu wanted to try again.
"Girl!" He stepped forward, pretending to be chatting, "It's been so uneasy recently, why don't you go down the mountain and go home to hide first? Why are you still staying in the mountain temple?"
The beautiful cook turned her head.
There are colorful flowers blooming around the small garden, which makes her stand out even more.
In such a remote ancient town, she was already considered a great beauty. And according to Hu Ayu's description, she should be twenty-eight years old, but the years seem to have left no marks on her face at all, she seems to be as young as a teenage girl.
When eating in the kitchen before, Song Yu always thought that Hu Ayu was only about twenty years old.
But since the stories Hu Ayu told were all considered by Lou as rush-answer points, there must be no problem.
Song Yu wasn't worried either. He looked at Hu Ah's watery eyes, and he seemed to be in a daze. He unconsciously slowed down his tone: "What are you thinking?"
"Ah..." The cook finally came back to her senses and glanced at him, "The traveler asked me?"
"yes."
She lowered her head again, looked at the umbrella in her hand, slender and white fingers slid across the umbrella, and said softly: "I miss you, miss your loved ones."
"Is your sister? She has been gone for ten years, sorry... These are all blamed on this damn custom and pedantic sorceress. Those who killed her will get retribution sooner or later."
The beautiful cook suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Song Yu.
Her originally indifferent and somewhat contradictory sad expression changed slightly, and her voice was a little emphatic: "You said... who will get retribution?"
Song Yu was taken aback: "...the person who killed your sister?"
The next moment, the cook showed him a gentle smile.
Song Yu slowly opened his eyes wide.
——In front of him, behind the cook, a bloody head slowly protruded out. The ferocious face showed the same soft smile to him, but the eyeballs with sticky blood were staring at him lifelessly.
It took Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang back to the mountain temple faster than Yan Wei expected.
Even if Yan Wei's body index was greatly dropped by Yan Mingguang, he still has a body that has experienced a dungeon data increase, which is more than enough for ordinary people. They walked and ran, but it didn't take much time to get back to the mountain temple from the cemetery.
The area around the guest room is very quiet, and there is still some time before sunset. Other players should still be looking for clues outside, and no one will hear their conversations.
As soon as the two entered, Yan Wei closed the door and said, "I was in the cemetery just now and looked at the time of death of all the skinned dead, and found an interesting situation. The first dead in Ankang Town was Li Yishu—that is, The man who originally promised to take Hu Ayun away, but finally broke the appointment, but the second deceased was a bit interesting."
Yan Mingguang opened the window, leaned against the window, smoking a cigarette, and silently listened to Yan Wei's analysis.
The breeze in the mountains blows the smoke into a long wisp, and the smoke gradually fades into the air. The westward sunlight portrayed the outline of this person's side face, which was indifferent and cold, revealing a rare tranquility in such a treacherous and gloomy place.
Yan Wei felt for a moment that, in fact, there were speculations that Yan Mingguang might not be unaware of.
But he continued: "The second deceased was someone who was not mentioned in Hu Ayu's words. There is some information on his tombstone, which generally says that this person worked in the mountain temple before his death. It should be Help the witch with some chores and the like. I checked the time of all the dead, except for Li Yishu, he died the earliest, which shouldn't be."
"From the fact that Li Yishu was the first to die, it can be seen that after Hu Ayun's death, she also turned into a skinless female ghost—I don't know which female ghost we have seen, and she was the first to kill because of her grievances during her lifetime. The object was the man who didn’t take her away. In addition, among those dead, I also saw the groom in the backtracking illusion we met. I heard the groom’s name at the time, and there was a tombstone with the same name. Although we Jin's backtracking illusion is not the Hu family's girl, but another girl's, but this also shows the order of killing.
"This shows that these dead are actually related to the degree of resentment of ghosts. They hate their lovers, their parents, and their friends... Only when the time is getting closer to the present, the dead start to have a great relationship. It should be because they have something to do with them." Almost all the people died. So later, it was useful for the witch to release the umbrella, because at this time, the skinless female ghost no longer had a particularly resentful target. If this is the case, why would an ordinary townsman who works in the mountain temple Died earlier than Hu Ayun's parents?"
Yan Mingguang stubbed out the cigarette butt, and said flatly, "She hates this man even more."
"Why hate it more? In this story, Hu Ayun especially hates her parents and fiance, because this is the person who should love her the most, not only failed to save her, but also pushed her into the fire pit, only her twin sister Hu Ayu was there Help her. What kind of situation can make her hate an outsider who has no blood relationship more? Don’t forget, in the story Hu Ayu told us, in order to contact Hu Ayun who was imprisoned in the temple, she even bribed to work in the temple This person, then this person should have helped."
"The clues that Lou released also mentioned this," Yan Mingguang said, "Lou will not lie."
"Yes, whether it's the witch, Hu Ayu, or the townspeople, they are all from Ankang Town, and they may deceive us. Only Lou can't deceive us. My debuff comes from 'Girl's Love' It is absolutely not wrong, and the story Hu Ayu told was also recorded by Lou Lou and broadcast to all players, so it is absolutely not wrong for Hu Ayu to buy people who work in the temple to contact the twin sisters."
Yan Wei took out the Yanzi coin in his pocket. He didn't hold it in his own hands this time, but threw it forward forcefully—
The man raised his hand and grasped the tossed coin.
Yan Wei asked, "Head and tail?"
Yan Mingguang didn't even look at it, he just threw it back to him and said, "Trust your reasoning."
Yan Wei chuckled lightly.
"Then I guess... There is no problem with the story. Hu Ayun was selected in the rain on the day of her wedding, but the lover who promised to take her away did not show up. The cook of the Hu family we met before did buy the temple that year The people in the house, and my twin sisters. All of this is no problem, Lou also rebroadcasted this story, the problem is not the truth or falsehood of each sentence, but... the story that Hu's cook told us , In fact, the perspectives of two people are mixed together."
Yan Wei directly concluded: "The twin sisters were transferred ten years ago."
He held up the coin, turned the obverse to Yan Mingguang, pressed his fingertips on the obverse of the coin, and said: "The first half of the story is the story of Hu Ayu, her sister was chosen to be the mountain god when it rained heavily on her wedding day. Tribute, the kind-hearted twin sisters don’t want their sister to die tragically, so they have been matchmaking and helping her to contact her lover. But before the sacrifice, her lover didn’t show up, and Hu Ayu is even more incapable of saving her sister…”
He paused and turned the coin to the other side, "The second half of the story is from Hu Ayun's point of view. She is desperate, her lover betrays her, her parents want her to accompany the mountain god, and the only sister who is facing her is unable to take her away. So she They found a way to bribe the person who worked in the mountain temple, and tricked Hu Ayu to come to the place where she was imprisoned, and together with this person who worked in the mountain temple... exchanged herself and her sister."
"The cook we met was not Hu Ayu, but the twin sister, Hu Ayun, who swapped herself and her younger sister ten years ago. The twin swap is actually a situation that is not difficult to guess, but Lou affirmed the story told by the cook. It made us all feel—this is impossible, the stories are all true, and what the cook said must be true. But in fact, there is a mystery hidden in it... "
"Hey, I'm such a gentleman, I wasted my invitation letter to exchange her for a hand warmer, but in exchange for a debuff. The cook has a problem. It's normal for her to stay at 18 for some reason. The girl mentioned in the debuff is indeed her."
That's what he said, but Yan Wei knew in his heart that this debuff might not be a good thing, just the hints and clues brought by the five words "girl's liking" are worth taking the risk of taking this debuff.
"The stories are all correct, but the first half is from the positive sister's perspective, while the second half is from the negative sister's perspective."
The corner of Yan Wei's mouth hooked slightly, and he stuffed the coin back into his pocket.
Yan Mingguang glanced at him, it seems that because their relationship is getting better and better, this person has more conversations than when they first met: "There is a loophole that needs to be explained, you can infer this from the murder of the skinless female ghost and the degree of hatred , but if the reasoning is true, according to the degree of hatred of the skinless female ghost, the first one to die should be the sister who took the place of the dead ghost."
"This is indeed a paradox, and there must be other reasons for it—"
Yan Wei paused.
Lou's notification sound suddenly sounded in the minds of all players.
[The progress of the dungeon has been updated. Players have successfully answered the relevant clues of the Hu family sisters: the name and origin of the witch. The method of making skin and bone umbrellas in Ankang Ancient Town originated from the Hu family, who often lived in the mountain temple, and the goddess who presided over all the sacrifices and worship in the ancient town was the daughter of the Hu family. The previous generation of witches will train the young daughters of the Hu family as the next generation of witches. When the previous generation of witches dies, the new witches will inherit the work and accusations of the previous generation of witches. The witches in Ankang Town can also marry and have children, but only the maidens who are enshrined to the mountain gods must remain pure. ]
[The corresponding player who succeeds in the quick answer gets 1 point for the quick answer. The rush to answer continues, all players are asked to do their best to answer and try to survive. ]
"Ah, is it Lin Zhenyu Feizhou or Ning Yi?" Yan Wei blinked, "But it helped me connect all the guesses directly. Look, here comes the reason for this paradox—because Hu Ayun was trained by the sorceress A generation of witches, just before she inherited, she was chosen by coincidence, and the person who succeeded the witches became her younger sister. Because of a heavy rain, she changed from the heir to the highly respected witches to the A sacrifice to be offered on the altar.
"Later, the things in the story happened. Hu Ayun ran out and became Hu Ayu, and because of the sorcery she knew, she successfully manipulated the corpses and skin bone umbrellas of those dead girls, and first killed the one who betrayed her. Lover, the second one killed the townsman who knew that she had actually been subcontracted with her sister who worked in the temple. The townspeople didn’t know this, and thought it was the impure tribute that made the mountain god angry, and they hated Hu Ayun even more—in their eyes it was Hu Ayu."
As soon as the voice fell, the notification sound that had just sounded not long ago resurfaced in Yan Wei's mind.
[Congratulations to the player for cracking the secret of the Hu family. As the first player to discover the clue, you will be rewarded: Perception 6, Body Index 6, Points 8. ]
[You get an extra 3 points for quick answer. ]
[You currently have a total of 7 quick answer points, temporarily ranking first among the players in this copy. Players please make persistent efforts to survive. ]
Yan Mingguang also scored the three points. This is the result of the joint efforts of Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang. Both of them got extra points. At the moment, they are tied for the first place with 7 points for answering questions.
—And this clue is actually worth three points for answering questions and a large amount of data rewards!
Yan Wei's expression moved, and he said with a smile: "With such a high reward, it seems that we are getting close to the final clue. Now that we have reached this point... then where is the ladder? What exactly do we have to do to end this dungeon? "
"I have to break the game quickly. I always feel that I will be attacked at any time because of this Rotten Peach Blossom debuff."
