The moment he heard this sentence, Lu Chu immediately wanted to look in Qi Li's direction, but he resisted the urge, and pinched his palm with his nails without a trace.
He and Song Gui entered the "game" according to the "rules", and they would not be noticed by the people in the game. Li Jiapeng and He Mingde also looked very normal, and Yang Cheng was a victim. Lu Chu easily thought of it. Qi Li, who has been extremely mysterious since the first "game".
This "game", only two people can come, that is, him and Song Gui, Qi Li is obviously not an indigenous person in the game, so what is Qi Li's identity here
When Wang Po said, "Four people came from outside the village", does it mean that someone is from this village, or does it mean that there is a ghost among them
Li Jiapeng, who had been made nervous by the repeated bizarre incidents, directly asked Lu Chu's question: "You mean, there is an inner ghost among us?"
Wang Po raised her head to look at him, her eyes were bright like torches on the bone-shaped skin, and the scalp of the person staring at him was numb, she said: "It's not a ghost, it's a ghost."
He Mingde recovered from the shock just now, and said angrily: "How is it possible? We all know a lot of people, why didn't we find out who could be a ghost? Aren't ghosts afraid of light, fire, and many things? Moreover, if there is really a ghost between us, why didn't you say it before, and now that you say it, isn't it because the people in your village are trying to blame us?"
"Back the blame? There is nothing to blame." Wang Po calmly twisted her neck and made a rattling sound, "As for why I am telling you now, because I am not omnipotent."
"You are not omnipotent?" He Mingde sneered, "Then how did you come to the conclusion that there is a ghost between us?"
Song Gui frowned and grabbed He Mingde, who was still about to question him, and signaled him to stop talking, while he asked Wang Po, "I'm sorry, we just lost a brother who died, and everyone was too emotional. But I'm really sure about this matter." I also really want to know, why did you tell us now that there might be a 'ghost' between us?"
Hearing this, the little girl who had been standing by Wang Po's side without speaking was anxious: "You guys from the city are all bad guys! Grandma has used forbidden techniques to help you divination, and her body needs to be recuperated for a long time. Time, you still don't believe grandma, and you still say to her, you, you all get out of here!"
After she finished speaking, she began to push Song Gui and the others with her thin body, and said while pushing: "Bad guy, bad guy—"
This little girl was the one who opened the door for them when Lu Chu and the others came last time. Because Wang Po's presence was too strong, they didn't pay much attention to her. Only now did they find that she was wearing a red dress. In the airtight and dimly lit space, it didn't feel abrupt, and seemed particularly appropriate.
Song Gui stopped the little girl from beating her indifferently, and said, "We didn't mean that, it's just that what happened was too unexpected, so the tone was a bit aggressive."
However, the little girl still didn't listen, and looked at Song Gui and the others with hatred.
Wang Po called her: "Xiaoyun."
The little girl then lowered her head and stood beside Po Wang again, but her hands were still twisted together, muttering something in her mouth.
Wang Po stood up, and the little girl hurried to help her.
Wang Po took out a few jade amulets from the table behind her, handed them to Lu Chu and the others, and they took them.
When Lu Chu got the amulet, he felt it was extremely heavy. Knowing that it was not ordinary, he stuffed it into his inner pocket.
Wang Po calmly waited for a few people to put away the amulets, and then slowly said: "At first, when I saw you, I just felt a little weird. Do you still remember the incense you gave me that day? After leaving, the dark wind from the ground blows, and the incense is completely extinguished. The light wind in the world blows over the burning incense, and the incense will only burn faster and more vigorously. At that time, I knew that my feeling was right , it came back."
Lu Chu, who realized that he was approaching the truth of the matter, asked, "It?"
"The thing that killed Guo Jianping twenty years ago."
As soon as the words came out, even though everyone was aware of it, they were still in a cold sweat. The grandmother of the Lu family asked Wang Po sincerely: "Will it continue to kill like this? Then what can I do with my good grandson...Wang Po, can you help me?" How to get rid of it?"
Wang Po sighed: "That's why I'm telling you now that there are ghosts among you. It's not that I didn't want to say it, but I didn't know it. I can only know that strange things will happen by feeling, but I don't know the root cause." Where, now that I use the forbidden technique, I lost a few years of life in vain, and I only know that one of the five people from outside the village is a ghost, as for who it is, I don’t know.”
Li Jiapeng muttered to himself: "There is really a ghost between us?"
He turned to look at his former brothers, from Song Gui to He Mingde and then to Qi Li, and then roared: "Why?! Even if there is really a ghost among you who has been lurking for many years, Cheng Zi has treated you badly all these years Is it? Ghosts are really impersonal?!"
He Mingde was extra irritable by his sudden questioning: "What do you mean by saying that you think we are ghosts? Let's not talk about whether there are really ghosts. If there are, why can't it be you?"
"I, how could it be me?!"
"Maybe it's a bit of a joke, but ghosts should still have a little IQ."
Song Gui interrupted them sharply: "Shut up!"
After Li Jiapeng and He Mingde calmed down, Lu Chu asked Wang Po, "That is to say, Wang Po, you are far from its opponent."
Wang Po closed her eyes when she heard the words, and nodded: "Twenty years ago, it might have been cured, but now, it is indeed far from his opponent."
Qi Li said: "If there is a ghost between us, and you are not his opponent, wouldn't we be in danger now?"
"No." Wang Po opened her eyes, eyes still bright, "Although I am not his opponent, but once he shows up, I can still do it with him. It has been waiting for twenty years, of course it is not In order to cause trouble for myself, but to avenge the people twenty years ago, I will not expose myself like this, you are just the starting point for its reappearance, not its goal."
revenge
Lu Chu asked: "Is it the child in Wei Rong's belly?"
Wang Po shook her head: "No." Then she stood up and continued, "What happened twenty years ago was not as simple as we thought. My wife, I also heard some facts from the crazy Wei Rong, but I couldn't piece them together. You want to know , you can ask her as much as you can, provided that she can say something."
"Go, go, let's all leave." Wang Po walked into the back room with the support of the little girl, and left a last sentence, "karma recurs, and good and evil will eventually be rewarded. This day, I'm afraid it will change. The hexagram hurt the body, and I couldn't hold it anymore after all."
In the end, only Song Gui and Lu Chu were left looking at each other.
"Now, what should we do?" He Mingde broke the silence first.
Song Gui touched his chin and looked around for a week: "Go back first, whether it is a human or a ghost, it will always show its original shape."
Lu's grandma kept tugging on Lu Chu's hand, chanting about the blessings of her ancestors.
"I think," Lu Chu said out loud, "it is necessary to go to Wei Rong's place."
Then added: "Better go now."
Li Jiapeng nodded: "Second."
Things are getting more and more complicated, and no one can feel at ease if they don't find out the truth. If the "it" took revenge twenty years ago, who can predict who the next victim will be.
"Okay, let's go now."
———
The grandma of the Lu family was getting old, so she shouldn't work too hard, so Lu Chu persuaded her to go home and have a good rest, and they went to Wei Rong's house.
Most of the villagers I met on the road didn't want to pay attention to them, some children even threw stones at them, and Li Jiapeng's eyes turned red when he was angry. Fortunately, Lu Chu asked Grandma Lu where Wei Rong lived, otherwise they might not be able to find someone to guide them.
Wei Rong lost the ability to live alone twenty years ago, but her parents passed away, and other relatives were unwilling to take over the trouble, so she lives alone in an old earthen house. After all, the folks in the village have relatives who take turns to deliver meals to her every day.
It was only when Lu Chu and the others came here that they deeply realized what it means to "not have the ability to live alone".
Standing in front of the short wooden door, a few people could already smell the pungent stench. Stepping inside the door, the yard was so dirty that they couldn't bear to look directly at it. The smell of the hut and the smell of food were mixed together, which was really unbearable .
There are only two rooms in the courtyard, a kitchen and a living room. The hut is just a pile of broken stone bricks piled up chaotically.
Standing in the yard, I vaguely heard Wei Rong talking to himself, nothing more than "retribution, retribution", illogical nonsense.
Lu Chu raised his foot and wanted to enter the room first, but Qi Li grabbed his arm.
Qi Li said: "I'll go."
After speaking, he lifted his foot and walked in.
Lu Chu followed closely behind. As soon as he entered the room, Lu Chu felt dizzy for a while. The pungent stench hit his face. The musty smell mixed with the stench that had not been cleaned for a long time. The object smashed towards Qi Li, Qi Li didn't dodge, and directly opened the object with his hand.
bang-
It was only when the smashed object fell to the ground that Lu Chu could see that it was a sickle.
Realizing this, he stepped forward and grabbed Qi Li's hand to check, and he was relieved when he found that there was no injury.
Seeing this, Song Gui still had a look of disapproval in his eyes. In his eyes, Qi Li was just a dispensable npc that he encountered during the process of fighting monsters and upgrading. Worry" is a joke.
But he didn't know that the relationship between Qi Li and Lu Chu was by no means as simple as he imagined.
The sickle was thrown by Wei Rong. They were naturally not angry at the behavior of a lunatic, but approached her slowly, so as not to provoke her, and they would not be able to ask anything at that time.
Ever since Wei Rong went crazy, she often went to the village by herself to yell and curse. More than once, she was surrounded by many people and pointed at her. cried.
"It's not me! It's not me!"
"Why don't you like me, just because I don't look good?!"
"Ah! What do you like about her, what do you like about her!"
"It's not what I did, it's really not what I did!"
"..."
Everyone did not interrupt her, trying to find useful remarks from her gossip.
Suddenly, she became more emotional, stood up and rushed towards He Mingde, while he was not paying attention, pinched his neck and wailed, "Guo Jianping... Guo Jianping! You will die badly, you will die badly!"
He Mingde was caught off guard by being pinched, and couldn't breathe for a while. The others rushed up and pulled Wei Rong away. Unexpectedly, Wei Rong was quite strong, and it really took a lot of effort.
Wei Rong, who was pulled away, was still cursing angrily: "Guo Jianping, you bastard, you bastard! Pigs and dogs are inferior! Retribution, all retribution!"
Two adult men, Song Gui and Qi Li, drove Wei Rong around and followed her around. When she calmed down a little, Lu Chu stepped forward to look at her, and said softly, "Can we talk?"
When Lu Chu was working as an online psychological counselor, he met many emotional people. Although he hadn't dealt with crazy people, it was still possible to calm them down.
His voice was calm and clear, his eyes were gentle, he spoke slowly, and looked at Wei Rong.
Wei Rong completely calmed down, and tears began to fall.
"It's not me... really it's not me..."
"Guo Jianping is a beast, they are all beasts, they are all beasts..."
"She won't let you go..."
"She/he?" Lu Chu tried to soften his voice, "Who?"
"She won't let you go, she won't let you go..."
No matter what Lu Chu hinted, Wei Rong was still immersed in her own world, talking to herself, not being moved by the outside world.
Helpless, Lu Chu took out a group photo.
That was the group photo in the book on the desk in that classroom at that time. The man in it was calm and the girl was sunny and youthful. Lu Chu guessed that there was Guo Jianping and his first wife, that is, the very tall girl in the rumor. Pretty girl.
If Wei Rong really loves Guo Jianping deeply, then seeing the photo of the two together, she will definitely go crazy again. In case she loses control of her emotions, Lu Chu folds the photo from the middle and separates the two people on it. The man handed it to Wei Rong and asked, "Do you know this person?"
When Wei Rong saw the person in the photo clearly, she was nostalgic for a moment, then she started to glare at the photo and growled wildly: "Guo Jianping, Guo Jianping, you beast, you are a beast!"
He Mingde asked: "It seems that this is indeed Guo Jianping, but where did you find the photo?"
Lu Chu said briefly: "I picked it up in the classroom."
He Mingde didn't ask any more, but just looked at Lu Chu with doubts.
Lu Chu put the photo behind his back and began to whisper to comfort Wei Rong. After Wei Rong's mood stabilized again, he put the other side of the photo in front of Wei Rong.
The strange thing is that this time Wei Rong stared at the photo for a while, but there was no reaction, and she continued to chant "retribution to the beast".
Lu Chu was surprised by her reaction. Everyone in the village knew that girl was married to Guo Jianping at that time. In addition, that girl was good-looking, so Wei Rong must have been impressed. Why doesn't she seem to have much reaction now
Unless, the one in the photo is not the girl who married Guo Jianping.
Song Gui, who had been supporting Wei Rong all the time, reacted. He called He Mingde and motioned for him to come over and help him restrain Wei Rong.
After gaining freedom of movement, Song Gui took out another photo from his pocket, which was also a group photo. The person in the photo, Guo Jianping, was right, but the girl was not the one just now.
This is what he found from that office and has never been taken out.
Following Lu Chu's example, he folded the photo in half and presented the man's side in front of Wei Rong first. He got the same reaction, struggling fiercely and cursing angrily.
Immediately afterwards, he put the other side in front of Wei Rong.
This time, Wei Rong's performance was beyond everyone's expectations.
Her eyes widened at first, then she struggled like crazy, crying bitterly, her eyes were filled with extreme fear, and the cursing in her mouth turned into a cry for mercy: "It's not me! It's not me! Retribution, retribution, Guo Jianping Bastard, they all deserve to die!"
Wei Rong was extremely crazy, Lu Chu couldn't appease her emotions no matter what, so he had to ask Song Gui to put away the photos and wait for Wei Rong to calm down by herself.
"Heh-heh,"
After a long time, Wei Rong suddenly became quiet, chuckled, and her eyes were bloodshot: "The cycle of karma, it's all retribution, it's all retribution, she won't let you go."
This time, no matter what everyone did, they couldn't cause the slightest fluctuation in Wei Rong.
Lu Chu sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to ask anything today, and it's getting late, so let's go back first."
Song Gui pondered for a while and said, "Indeed, we still have a lot of things to clarify."
So everyone left Wei Rong's yard. It was time for dinner when Lu Chu returned to Lu's house. He packed a meal and sent it to Wei Rong.
After dinner, everyone got together, took out two photos for comparison, and prepared to sort out the known clues.
As for whether the ghosts are in front of them, put it aside and take one more step.
However, before they had any more conversations, the next victim appeared in the village.
No one thought that the second person to have an accident would be the village chief.
