Du Yixin stepped back quickly. The body hit the ground, arms bent into strange shapes. The flimsy floorboards were smashed and broken, with one end lifted.
He is the head of the family. Obviously, he was still talking normally yesterday, but he died here today. Why
He squatted down to check the condition of the corpse. Except for a deep strangle mark on the neck, there were no obvious wounds elsewhere.
The room was locked from the inside, and the windows were not opened. It was a completely tight secret room. In addition, there were no traces of fighting in the room. Could it be suicide
There was a soft hum again, but when I looked up, it was coming from the bed. The hostess and the little girl lay side by side on the bed. The former was covered with a thin quilt and remained motionless; the latter stared at the ceiling with wide-open eyes, breathing rapidly.
Du Yixin hurried over and held the little girl's hand: "What's wrong here?"
The little girl couldn't speak at all, her eyes fell on the bedside table. A rough ceramic cup was placed on it, and there was a cloudy liquid in the cup, emitting a pungent smell.
"Did you drink this?"
The little girl reluctantly opened her mouth: "Dad, Dad..." But just after saying a few words, she couldn't make any sound anymore, and she clasped her fingers to her neck, scratching painfully.
Seeing this, Du Yixin picked him up and said, "I'll take you to the doctor."
When he was going to hug the little girl, he reached out to check the hostess' breath, but found that she had stopped breathing long ago. Now there are three members of the family, only one child is left alive.
He didn't dare to delay, he walked out of the room in a few steps, but he heard the "Australian Eye" say:
[You should give up.]
Hearing this emotionless mechanical voice, Du Yixin felt irritable and didn't answer.
[Her parents are dead, even if she is saved, no one can survive.]
[For the sake of this poor child, instead of letting her continue to suffer, it is better to let her rest in peace with her parents.]
He had already walked to the living room, before opening the door, he casually picked up the cloak hanging on the coat rack, put it on his body, and covered his face.
[It's irrational for you to do this, it will only cause you to be caught by the townspeople.]
Seeing that the young man still refused to listen to the advice, "The Eye of God" dispatched a task:
[Sub-quest: Let the little girl rest in peace]
[Mission Completion Reward: Get 10 Life Points]
[Mission failure reward: 40 life points deducted]
Du Yixin's hand on the door froze.
[I will guide you on the right path. After completing this task, you will be able to get the ticket to "Heaven", and you will also make the little girl happy forever, there is nothing to hesitate.]
The voice of "The Eye of the Goddess" echoed directly in his mind.
Du Yixin said, "Is this your script?"
[…]
He looked at the bracelet on his wrist: "What are you, why do you want to control my thoughts?"
[You misunderstood, I just want to help you.]
"Then why do I have to deduct life points once I don't follow your approach?"
"The Eye of the Goddess" was silent for a while: [I'm sorry for using such a strong method. But you have to understand that if you do something wrong, you will pay the price.]
Do something wrong? What does it think it is, what position does it stand to judge right from wrong, judge
Du Yixin didn't want to bother with this thing anymore, covered the bracelet with his long sleeves, opened the door without looking sideways, and walked out with the little girl in his arms.
[You can't do this.]
"The Eye of the Goddess" is still chattering: [Your health will be deducted by half, and everything will start from scratch.]
Du Yixin turned a deaf ear and looked around. He rushed to one of the houses, put the little girl gently in front of the door, and then knocked on the door.
Then, he withdrew and hid in the dark.
He didn't know where the doctor was, and he couldn't rashly appear in front of the townspeople, so he had to do so. When the male owner of the house was helping him lead the way yesterday, he dismissed the pursuers casually, which proved that the relationship between the residents was not too bad.
[Are you really going to do this?]
After a while, the door opened, and a fat middle-aged woman walked out. She didn't see anyone coming, she was a little puzzled, and then found the little girl lying beside her.
She exclaimed and helped the little girl up: "Oh my God Ellie, what happened?"
Du Yixin saw the woman calling out her husband and asked him to send the little girl to see a doctor, while he hurried to Ai Li's house.
Not long after, ear-piercing screams came from Ellie's house. The fat woman fled with a pale face, holding up her skirt, and accidentally fell down because she was too anxious.
But she got up again immediately, but did not go home. Walking through the door, he said to himself in a trembling voice: "The devil, the devil did it. I have to tell the mayor! Oh, this is terrible."
She ran away.
[You have been discovered.]
"Eye of the God of God" said sarcastically: [If you don't do this, we would have had plenty of time to escape, and you can find a temporary residence.]
Is the temporary residence for him to live in the little girl's house? Just watch the little girl die, and then live in that kind of place with peace of mind
Seeing that Du Yixin was still unrepentant, "Aushen's Eye" said in a colder tone: [I'm really disappointed in you, everything could have gone smoothly.]
[Sub-quest: "Let the little girl rest in peace" failed]
[Deduct 40 health points]
As soon as the inorganic mechanical male voice finished speaking, the number on Du Yixin's arm dropped crazily. In a blink of an eye, it changed from "71" to "31".
And the "eyes" in the center of the bracelet gradually become darker. A drop of blood seemed to seep into the orange light, and the blood slowly spread, eventually dyeing the entire eye red.
The color of the "Australian Eye" is exactly the same as that of the hostess's pendant.
It was as if the heart was being grabbed by a big hand and squeezed hard. Du Yixin only felt his body sink, and then knelt down uncontrollably, with a mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth.
[It's really pitiful.]Having said that, the tone of "Australian Eye" did not contain a trace of pity, [Do you understand that if you disobey the will of the "God", you will suffer an unfortunate fate.]
[Now, your health index has become dangerous. And now you don't even have a place to hide. Ellie's home has been exposed, and townspeople will come soon, what should you do.]
[The only one who can save you now is me. If you can admit your mistakes and swear to follow my guidance in the future, I will still help you regardless of the past.]
"Australia's Eye" released a mission.
[Sub-quest: Swear to the "Eye of the Goddess"]
[Mission Success Reward: Gain 20 Life Points]
[Mission failure penalty: deduct 20 points of health]
[I have put down the spider silk, you just need to grab it and you can leave hell.]
"..." Du Yixin reached out to wipe the blood from his mouth, "If you don't tell that family the truth, they won't commit suicide."
When the master carried his wife home yesterday, he felt a little strange. I'm afraid the hostess died of illness at that time, and the host took his daughter on the road because he couldn't bear the blow.
[Are you listening to me?]
"Ah, I'm listening." Du Yixin clasped the bracelet with his fingers and pulled it hard.
The "Eye of the Goddess" felt the crisis, and it found that the advice it had just given had no effect at all.
[What are you doing.]
But the bracelet seemed to be stuck firmly into the flesh, and it couldn't be removed no matter what. Du Yixin turned his attention to the pebbles rolling in the grass and picked them up.
[If you destroy me, the life value will be directly reset to zero.]
Du Yixin's hand holding the stone stopped in the air.
[Please don't try to do stupid things, put it down.]
Du Yixin put down his hands and stood up while leaning on the wall.
This bracelet should never have been picked up in the first place.
Now there are "31" hours left in his time... He shook his unconscious head: No, is it 11 hours.
He wants to find out the time of the "Day of Sacrifice" within these 11 hours.
Then, do it all over again.
Seeing that Du Yixin gave up destroying himself, the "Australian Eye" thought that he had finally figured it out.
[It's still too late, swear to me, I will recover for you.]
However, it saw that the other party ignored itself, put on the hood on the cloak, and ran quickly.
[Where are you going.]
[Don't walk around, you will be found.]
[Please follow my instructions.]
[…]
[Sub-quest: "Sworn to the Eye of the Gods" failed]
[deduct 20 health points]
This time, it seemed that the limbs were about to be severely torn. Du Yixin fell straight away, rolling several times in the direction of inertia, and barely stopped until he hit the wall.
Life points deducted to "11". The color of the bracelet became darker, almost turning dark red.
Du Yixin climbed up with strong support, and continued to drag his body forward.
Life points are not just numbers, but will be truly reflected on the body. He has no doubt that he will die immediately after the value reaches zero.
"The Eye of the Goddess" didn't speak anymore.
There was the sound of chaotic footsteps ahead. The fat woman led a group of strong men and was running towards Ai Li's house. Those people were all vicious, with weapons in their hands, eager to kill the demon that killed Ellie's family immediately.
It wasn't until the sound of footsteps disappeared that Du Yixin came out from his hiding place.
At least now most of the men have been lured away, and the only ones staying at home should be women and children who have little combat effectiveness. If you want to ask questions, you must take advantage of the present.
He knocked on several doors one after another, but none of them opened. Maybe it was because of the alarm just now, the men made an explanation before they left home.
He's ready to go another way. Going to the side of the house, smashed the glass window with a stone, opened the lock, pushed the window open and turned in.
And as soon as it hit the ground, the sound of glass shattering attracted trouble.
When Du Yixin saw that the door was pushed open carefully, a young woman with braids held a kitchen knife and poked her head out, just in time to meet his gaze.
The girl turned pale with shock: "You!"
However, before she could scream, she saw the man in the cloak leaning over and covering her mouth with one hand. The kitchen knife in his hand was taken away without any use.
This looks like a utility room. Du Yixin picked up the rope and tied the girl up: "Don't bark, I just want to ask a question."
"Hmm!" The braided girl couldn't stop struggling.
Du Yixin had no choice but to hold the kitchen knife against the girl's neck: "Hush."
The girl was too scared to move immediately.
In fact, Du Yixin is still holding on now, and his life points have dropped to 10 points. The body is getting more and more out of control.
He exhaled lightly, and let go of the hand covering the girl's mouth: "What day is the day of sacrifice?"
The braided girl stared at him: "You devil, I won't tell you."
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Du Yixin increased his strength.
The girl's body froze, but she still trembled and said: "God will bless me. Even if I die, I will be welcomed to heaven. But you are going to hell!"
Du Yixin watched her quietly, then suddenly turned his head to look outside the door - someone else was coming.
And the man asked aloud: "Fei'er, what's the matter, is the glass broken?" The voice sounded like an old lady.
The braided girl immediately shouted: "Grandma, don't come here! Nothing happened!" After speaking, she looked at Du Yixin nervously.
Du Yixin understood how to threaten. He got up: "If you don't want to talk, I'll ask your family. If they don't want to talk, I'll kill them all, and I'll ask you again."
As he spoke, he gestured to turn the handle away.
"No! Wait!" Mayfair burst into tears.
She sniffled: "The day of the sacrifice, the sacrifice is... at zero o'clock, when today and tomorrow are handed over."
"Are you sure?" Du Yixin looked at her, "I will ask other people again, if you lie, I will come back to you again."
The braided girl shook her head desperately, expressing that she was not lying.
After getting the desired information, Du Yixin didn't stop there, and turned the window again to leave.
Then he did the same thing, broke into several people's houses and asked the time of the sacrificial day, which was consistent with what the girl said. It is basically certain that in the early hours of the morning, the town will hold a festival.
The number on the arm has changed to "9". Du Yixin couldn't move anymore, so he sat against the wall to rest.
[You use this evil method, even if you ask the time, you will not live until then.]
He made too much noise, and the townspeople have already noticed his movements. Young and strong men are turning from Ali's house and hunting.
[You are hopeless. Reject God's guidance and you will die here. ] "The Eye of the Goddess" said indifferently.
[And I will no longer help you.]
Du Yixin raised his wrist, and the "eyes" on his wrist were looking at him.
There was a sound of searching nearby: "This is the last room it broke into! That demon must be nearby!"
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and Du Yixin will soon be found where he is hiding.
[It seems that you will die before the countdown ends.]
[farewell.]
"... See you later." After speaking, Du Yixin slammed his wrist against the wall.
The "Australian Eye" was smashed to pieces, the red spar shattered and turned into sparkling dust, which disappeared with the wind.
At the same time, his heart stopped beating.
