Xintudi pointed at the fish spirit, his voice trembling a little.
"I—I think he's human!"
His heart has been occupied by the horror he is facing now, and he said desperately, "He must be human!"
The fish essence's teeth creaked from being bitten. Kou Dong heard a word pop out of his mouth in disbelief, "You..."
He yanked on the armrest.
The statue turned slowly and reached out to him. The candlelight in the temple barely illuminated this small area, and the fish essence was trembling slightly under the light.
He finally stood up from his chair and stood opposite the new land.
"He must be human," New Land said incoherently, "he said...he must be..."
Kou Dong frowned.
This kind of tone is really unlikable.
With trembling hands, Xintudi finally went to pick off the mask of the fish spirit, and after removing the mask, there was a pale man's face behind him, without a trace of blood. All the people in the audience waited silently, and nothing happened after waiting for a few minutes—instead, the person whose mask was lifted collapsed on the ground, his pupils constricted.
You guessed it.
These three words emerged in everyone's mind, and then sank down heavily.
Xindi was overjoyed suddenly, loosened the mask, and said loudly: "I said it!"
"You see?—he's a man!"
"He is a human being!!"
He was both surprised and delighted, overflowing with excitement for the rest of his life, clamoring for everyone to watch. He didn't realize something was wrong until he faced the masks on the chair—the masks didn't even move.
They didn't look at him either, they just stared at the limp man on the ground.
"..."
The new land finally realized something. He moved his gaze down slowly, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally looked at the fish spirit on the ground.
The fish spirit covered her face with her hands, and suddenly let out a cry that was hardly human.
That cry was full of despair, and everyone could hear it.
Xin Land's body also trembled, he looked away and said in a low voice: "Don't blame me, I can't help it..."
The man's heart was ashamed and he stopped talking.
When his identity was verified, the fact that he was a human was also exposed to all the ghosts.
—What will happen tonight
He no longer wants to know.
Ye Yanzhi frowned, and his expression became serious.
"One life for one life."
Kou Dong didn't speak, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
In this way, the only way for human beings is to find ghosts-if it is human beings who report it, it is basically tantamount to killing each other.
This game is far more cruel than he imagined.
The expression of the idol seemed to be happy, and he picked up the stick again and shook it in his hand. This time the lottery that fell out was number one.
Turtle No. 1 trembled and pointed to the eighth player, who was the new Zhong Kui.
He identified the other party as a ghost.
The new Zhong Kui Nuo mask was taken off, and inside was a ghost face with blue face and fangs—that face is by no means what a normal person should have.
It's a ghost!
Kou Dong also heaved a sigh of relief, seeing the idol walking towards the discovered ghost, and immediately, a fire ignited from the center of the palm of the idol.
There was a bright light blue color around the flame, and the idol stretched out the fire towards the ghost, and soon his hair was ignited.
"Ahhh!"
The ghost began to struggle and exclaim. He rolled desperately on the ground, trying to suppress the fire on his body. But no matter how he rolled, the fire didn't show any sign of shrinking. He was engulfed in the blue fire from head to toe, and he could only stretch out a scorched hand with all his might.
"Help me," he groaned and repeated, "help me—"
No one moved. Everyone understands the truth of non-my race.
The smell of burning flesh spread in the air, and the scalp of those who smelled it tingled.
The figure in the fire shrunk again and again, and finally turned into a piece of charred charcoal, and even the limbs and facial features could not be distinguished. He fell to the ground and was trampled on by the foot of the idol, instantly collapsing into a pile of ashes.
The body of the idol was also stained with ghost ashes. He turned his head silently, picked up his pace again, and walked towards the temple.
This was undoubtedly a signal of the end, but no one moved, until his figure disappeared at the gate of the temple, and Nuo Mian got up one after another.
The fish spirit was still lying on the ground, eyes full of fear, unable to speak a word, just staring at the new land with resentment. He was an ordinary young man, his facial features were not unusual, but at this moment his eyes seemed to be on fire, poisoned, and knives were twisted, and he wanted to drag him in and tear him into pieces.
Xindi didn't dare to look at him, he hurried forward, and was the first to walk ahead. His loose white robe rolled up in the air, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"It's really not a person."
Kou Dong heard Erlang Shen whisper.
He turned his head around, motioning to continue talking.
Erlangshen explained: "This morning, I saw them. This land sneaked into the temple and was discovered by the villagers. It was almost set on fire—that person saved him."
Probably on the way to escape, in order to reassure people, the fish spirit revealed her identity.
I thought it was the kindness of human beings to help each other, but one day later, this sentence became his death talisman.
What's the matter? On the contrary, it is a reminder.
Kou Dong frowned after hearing this. He was silent for a few seconds, and said, "It's really not right."
He is not a gentleman, but he never wants to harm anyone.
Erlangshen was still staring at the people on the ground. She muttered: "If you let me know who that guy is tomorrow..."
There is obviously an unfinished meaning in this sentence, Kou Dong heard it, and turned his head to look at her.
"Not sure," he said. "Don't be hasty."
This is different from other games, where one wrong move means death.
"..."
Erlang Shen was silent for a while, and said, "That's right."
"Besides," she said softly, "it's not certain that she will die."
"Maybe there is still life."
This time, Kou Dong did not answer. In fact, both of them knew very well in their hearts that there would be no more chances.
As long as there is a little hope, the man will not be what he is now.
That night, Kou Dong didn't sleep well, he just lay on the bed and waited. After midnight, he suddenly heard a howl, full of despair.
He closed his eyes tightly again.
Ye Yanzhi lay beside him, and suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his ears.
He is small now, and his hands are also small, two hands can barely cover one.
Kou Dong's body trembled again, but he couldn't tell whether it was because of his sensitivity or something else. He was lying on his side, and could clearly hear the beating of his heart.
With a straight face, Ye Yanzhi said, "Don't think about it."
Kou Dong really couldn't stop thinking about it. He closed his eyes and murmured, "Cub, I feel a little strange..."
Villain: "Huh?"
Kou Dong couldn't describe his feeling. He spoke for a while, and then said in a low voice: "I originally thought that the idol and the ghost should be on the same side."
But right now, it doesn't.
The god here escapes alone, he doesn’t care about people or ghosts, he just wants to have fun with it—as the system said, this is a simple game for him.
They are all in this game field, and they are pawns who have to fight each other on the field.
"Cub—"
Kou Dong turned over. With a low voice, he asked, "Do you think there is such a god here?"
NPCs and players are just pawns for his fun
Ye Yanzhi glanced at the system box next to him. The system is quiet, and there is no sign of jumping out to remind.
He was silent for a few seconds, and finally replied: "No."
Kou Dong: "You answered too definitely."
Ye Yanzhi still said, "No."
"It has a tendency and a purpose," he explained.
After this sentence was said, a dialog box popped up in the originally silent system, and the bright red characters reminded him in front of him:
[You have violated the rules!]
[You have violated the rules! !]
[You have violated the rules! ! !]
He could no longer say the following words.
Kou Dong opened his eyes and looked at him blankly. Even though he was blocked by the thick mask, Ye Yanzhi could still imagine his expression - the long eyelashes trembling slightly, and the thick black pupils under the eyelashes staring intently at him.
He is familiar with every small expression of the young man. Even if it is blocked now, I know it clearly.
And the tendencies and purposes of the system—
Ye Yanzhi stroked the ferocious Nuo face with his hand, shook his head, and finally swallowed the words back into his stomach.
He didn't tell the young man that all the goals of this game lie with you.
— only you.
In this game field, you are the supreme reward, the unique god.
On the third day of the game, Kou Dong gradually couldn't stand Nuo Mian anymore.
He stared at the Zhu Bajie Nuo face on his bed, his forehead twitched, and the tone of his conversation with his cub was filled with sorrow: "If this is real, I will be covered by this thing and get pimples."
Wearing it every day, it's deadly heavy.
Besides, the people in this dungeon lost their appetite, and Kou Dong's fun was halved in an instant.
What else could Ye Yanzhi do? I can only comfort him, bear with it, it won't be long before it ends—
In fact, this statement is purely bluffing.
Kou Dong dawdled to put the mask on his face, and muttered in a low voice, "It's better to take a bath..."
Ye Yanzhi: "..."
Kou Dong was washing his face when he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside. Hearing this movement, another new person died.
He put the cub on his shoulder, and was about to step out the door, but his steps faltered slightly.
Ye Yanzhi also knew why he paused. Just outside the sound of gongs and drums, he heard a new movement.
The same is the lively gongs and drums.
Today, two people were buried.
Kou Dong murmured: "What a coincidence."
Indeed, if one person dies on the first day, one person will be buried; if two people die on the second day, two people will be buried as well.
That ghost is an exception.
There must be some connection between them, but Kou Dong still doesn't know it yet.
He thought for a while, finally made up his mind, and made up his mind to go outside. This time, Kou Dong didn't even hesitate, and followed the funeral procession familiarly.
Halfway through the path, someone suddenly called him in a low voice, "Hello, hello!"
Kou Dong turned his head and found that it was Erlang Shen who came over. He was a little surprised, because it was a familiar female voice who called him just now, "Your mask hasn't changed?"
Erlangshen said it hadn't changed, "It should have come back to me randomly."
She glanced at Kou Dong, and said sincerely, "As soon as I guessed, you came to follow me again, you are really brave."
The big one is not one and a half.
Kou Dong said, "Since you're here, it just so happens that I have a plan."
Erlang Shen turned to look at him, suspicious, "What plan?"
"..."
After a while, Erlang Shen, who had finished listening, stared blankly and was dumbfounded.
Fuck, what kind of plan is this that both people and gods are angry with! Isn't this playing NPCs like monkeys? !
Kou Dong: "Just say what you want to do."
Erlang God: "..."
After hesitating for a while, she finally made up her mind and said, "Let's do it."
If you don't do this, what else can you do, you can't really wait for yourself to be drawn one night.
The two carefully followed the two groups of people, trying to hide their figures as much as possible. They didn't dare to get too close. Fortunately, they didn't hear any movement, and those people didn't look back.
When we arrived at the tomb, it happened to be two opposite tombs. The two groups of people stopped and began to dig their own graves.
Kou Dong hid behind one of them, and nodded to Erlang Shen.
Erlang God on the opposite side took a deep breath, finally picked up the small stone from the ground, and threw it in the direction of Kou Dong's group of people.
I don't know if her hands were shaking or what, but the stone didn't hit any of the villagers, instead it fell beside Kou Dong.
Kou Dong: "..."
God pit teammate.
Erlangshen was also taken aback, but luckily no one noticed. She looked around and touched a larger stone again.
This time the smash was much more accurate, and it hit one of the villagers firmly in the leg.
The villager froze for a moment, subconsciously raised his eyes, and looked at the opposite side: "..."
There is only a group of people who are also mourning on the opposite side.
At the same time, Kou Dong also quietly threw the stone in his hand, hitting one of the opponents.
The person who was hit suddenly raised his head, and saw eye contact with the person opposite him.
Both sides looked at each other.
As early as the first contact, Kou Dong discovered that the temper of this group of villagers was not very good.
Even though he has full favorability, he was almost beaten, which is enough to show how insane a group of people this is. Love to the depths and still be willing to fight, let alone ordinary neighbors.
The villagers stared at the opposite person.
"Who did it," he said grimly, "you did it?"
The person on the other side is even more inexplicable.
"Who hit you—will you hit me?"
The two violent tempers started at one point, and gradually developed into a large-scale group fight scene.
"Who did it? He did it?"
"Don't be ashamed, you're just talking nonsense..."
When the two sides disagreed, they started fighting, and Kou Dong sighed a few times, taking advantage of the chaos and began to dig the grave in front of him. He thought it would take a little effort to provoke the two sides to fight, for example, he suddenly jumped out to accuse one of the people of bullying him or something...
It turned out to be easier than he thought.
Erlang Shen also took advantage of the confusion and came over, looking very speechless, he stretched his head to look.
"No—" he was a little indescribable, "Is that how they fight?"
Kou Dong was happy to see the success, "Let's fight."
When playing, they have time to do other things.
The two hid behind the grave, and began to dig the grave with a shovel that they touched, sticking out their heads from time to time to observe the progress of both parties. Ye Yanzhi folded his arms and acted as a supervisor, showing them where it was easier to pry, and quickly pried open a corner of the dug coffin.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't completely empty inside, instead, there was a whole body of clothes lying quietly, and a photo of a man.
The man in the photo is wearing this dress, smiling slightly towards the camera.
After Erlangshen saw it, he whispered, "It's a terrible street..."
She is telling the truth. The facial features of the owner of this tomb can only be described by one word, which is ordinary. From the eyes to the mouth, there is no characteristic at all. Even after seeing him one second, I can't remember what this person looks like the next second.
Kou Dong frowned while holding this photo. Erlang said, "What do you see?"
Kou Dong thought for a while and said, "I seem to have seen..."
"Have you seen it?"
Erlangshen was surprised, "Where did you see it? It must be a mistake, this person died a long time ago."
Looking at the grass on the grave, it is already so thick.
This person looked so ordinary, Kou Dong couldn't be sure if he was the one he saw, pondered for a while, and finally stuffed the photo under the robe first.
Erlangshen watched him lift his robe without saying a word.
But Ye Yanzhi was not happy. Although there was a layer of trousers under the robe, it made him feel a little uncomfortable. He reminded: "Be careful."
Only then did Kou Dong remember that the Erlang God in front of him was a girl. He put down his clothes and apologized, "I forgot for a moment."
It's all because of the ghost clothes, which completely hide the male and female figures, and can't see the faces - with a sudden glance, I really can't tell the difference between male and female.
Erlang Shen said, "It's all right."
She walked forward and suddenly said, "Your waist is really thin."
Kou Dong: "... ???"
How this sentence sounds is ambiguous.
The villain drooped his face suddenly, his cheeks puffed up, and he sat on Kou Dong's shoulder and stared at Erlang God. After Erlang Shen said that sentence, he seemed to be purely joking, then turned his face away, and said to him freely: "Aren't you leaving?"
Kou Dong: "...Let's go."
They sneaked back along the path and separated at the head of the village. Kou Dong was holding the photo, but he was thinking about the words that Erlang Shen blurted out just now.
Not like a joke.
— but it doesn't sound like a normal tone either.
Ye Yanzhi was obviously annoyed, and muttered on Kou Dong's shoulder that Erlang God was not good, "It seems that he has ulterior motives."
What's the matter with her waist!
She can't hold it!
He thought angrily, he shouldn't have let her see—
Kou Dong was still thinking at first, but when he saw his appearance, he laughed instead, saying that Ye Yanzhi seemed to be afraid that he would find him a stepmother.
Ye Yanzhi: "..."
Kou Dong's words put out all the anger he had just had.
What a god stepmother.
Kou Dong said: "Don't worry, even if you really have a stepmother, I will definitely not be a stepdad."
The string of vigilance in Ye Yanzhi's heart stretched rapidly.
Listen to this tone...
Kou Dong: "Of course, she can't."
Neither gender is right.
Besides, he always had a feeling that the other party was not a simple person.
Ye Yanzhi heaved a sigh of relief, and the rest of his mouth still said: "No one else can do it either!"
He pulled a lock of Kou Dong's hair, and politely asked him what kind of hair he was looking for.
Kou Dong thought about this point, and counted for him with his fingers, "Taller than me, handsomer than me, wider shoulders, narrower waist and longer legs—"
The villain listened and looked down at himself.
He said quietly: "Actually, just looking at the proportions, I also have long legs."
After saying this sentence, Kou Dong burst into laughter. Kou Dong smiled so much that he wanted to hold his knees, and when he straightened up, he patted the child's head lovingly, "Okay, long legs..."
Ye Yanzhi: "..."
This is nothing short of indebted.
He thought about it carefully, and his heart sank again. —Not to mention anything else, just being taller than Kou Dong, he can't do it.
no.
He has to nip everyone else in the bud!
Ye Yanzhi hugged Kou Dong's earlobe, feeling aggrieved in his heart, and leaned his head against it.
"Can't you find it?"
When I grow up, can't I
Kou Dong didn't care. He never felt that love is a necessity in life, and that he alone is enough to live a prosperous life, but seeing Zai Zai like this, he can't help but tease him.
"You really don't want a stepmother?"
"..."
Ye Yanzhi was desperate, gritted his teeth and nodded.
Let's be a stepmother, if you don't have one, you'll be fine.
Kou Dong chuckled and made an inch of it: "Listen to that cry, Dad."
Ye Yanzhi: "..."
I'm so used to you!
"Call," Kou Dong teased him, "Otherwise, I'll find you a stepdad?"
"..."
That doesn't work either!
Ye Yanzhi was so wronged that he struggled back and forth between yelling and not yelling. In the end, he lowered his eyes, held back his shame, and called out "Dad" in a low voice. After the shouting, his face turned red and he buried his face in his arms. .
—and let you dance for the last few days.
Kou Dong was trembling at this sweet sound, and wished he could kiss him directly, his fatherly feelings surged like the sea. Under the control of this emotion, he finally chose to throw Zai Zai up: "Hey, he is really a good son of Dad!"
Ye Yanzhi, who was thrown up, was in a hurry: "Put me down!"
It's really outrageous!
I am your old attack! !
It's a pity that this protest is doomed to be in vain. Such a loving parent-child game, Kou Dong will naturally come a few more times.
When he stopped, Ye Yanzhi's hair was disheveled, and he was gritting his teeth when he spoke. He said, "Kou Dong—"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Yanzhi suddenly stood up and stared at something behind him.
Kou Dong said, "What?"
As he spoke, he turned his head and saw a villager in white filial piety who seemed to have just returned from the cemetery. The villager was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked ordinary, and was patting the dust on his body at the door.
Ye Yanzhi's voice was a little tense. He said, "This person looks familiar."
Kou Dong stared at that face carefully, and suddenly trembled slightly. He reached out to the hidden photo, took it out, and compared it inch by inch with the person in front of him—
Slender eyebrows and thin eyes, no matter where you go, you don't look outstanding. If Ye Yanzhi hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't even have noticed.
But when they looked at it with a heart of comparison, the facts clearly jumped out of this photo and appeared in front of their eyes.
This villager is exactly the same as the photo in the tomb.
This is clearly a person.
But what is going on
Kou Dong stood where he was, rarely stunned.
——The person who was supposed to die, why is he standing in front of them now and returning to the mortal world
The author has something to say:
Ye Yanzhi: It's too difficult for me.
In order to prevent Kou Dong from climbing the wall, I even called him Dad...
(silently took out a small notebook to keep accounts)
