Fifty years ago, in the eyes of the Cao family and many unsuspecting people in the village, it was an ignorant child who ran out and lost him. He happened to be the sacrificial offering of the mountain god. The mountain god caused the village to grow wild mountain grass and saved it. Villagers who are about to starve to death.
What they didn't know was that a group of ignorant people killed an innocent child, and they continued to kill subsequent children.
After Cao's child became a sacrifice, his blood and hatred nourished the mountain god grass. Is his power strong?
No, not much.
He can't even avenge himself by himself, he can only become the nourishment of the mountain god grass, leaving a resentment in the mask, nothing more.
The real nourishment of his power is the second mountain god sacrifice. When the villagers encountered a famine again, they gave a few children again. The child who became a sacrifice walked into the cave. The fear and fear in his heart resonated with the dead Cao's child. He involuntarily put on the mask. Under the power of the mask, his body disappeared and became the nourishment for the god of the mountain. A batch of mountain god grass grows out.
At that time, the wishes of the two children were still clean. They did not want the children who were also sacrifices to die, so the children who did not become sacrifices were blessed and became the first generation of paper men.
The paper people that were originally created just to protect other children have bred greed and evil.
During the third sacrifice, there was no famine in the village at all. It was only that the village chief at that time discovered the secrets of the paper men and wanted to get more paper men, so he carried out the third sacrifice.
The son of the head of Heiwu, the current head of the village, he originally took the mission of obtaining the secrets of the paper man. He came prepared so that he could kill the guard and get the bones of the paper man.
The mask believes that the young village chief with the bones is a child of the previous generation who survived by chance, and did not use him as a sacrifice, nor did he turn him into a paper man. Another child who resonated with the mask due to fear put on the mask. The body of the last child became the nourishment of the mountain god grass three years ago. Without the protection of the mask, it quickly turned into fly ash.
The matter is still not over, in order to get more paper people, in order to have this kind of power for oneself, in order to get more Mountain God grass, generations of sacrifices have been produced. The original paper man really appeared because the children simply wanted to protect, but the later paper man can no longer be regarded as the existence that the children want to protect. The sacrifice becomes the guard, and the guard escorts the new sacrifice up the mountain. The original victim becomes the perpetrator and the target that the resentment wants to eradicate.
Over time, the grievances of countless children finally achieved a strength and a rule, and became the mountain god among the villagers. The lustful person will eventually become the toy of the first child or a group of children.
They are not a single person, but a collection of consciousness, just like Xing Ye encountered in the graveyard.
These consciousnesses do not have the power to directly hurt people. They can only control and induce, and can only use the weakness of human nature to tempt humans to kill each other.
The original purpose and resentment gradually disappeared after the baptism of years. Only malice and rules are left. They treat the people of Mountain God Village as toys, use their initial malice to attack themselves, and watch the village chief continue to kill the living and turn them into paper people. Use the sun to control the living, use the night to control the living corpses, and use the black and white rules to let the villagers kill each other.
"Does it feel like deja vu?" the mask man asked, "do you feel like our game?"
From a grievance to the malice of a collective of consciousness. Obviously, if you want to destroy human beings, you have to be restricted by rules, and you can only use maliciousness to let humans kill each other.
This small mountain god village is like a dollhouse, playing humans as toys. It looks so much like the prototype of a game that challenges fate.
In this world, are the rules of the game involved in the world, or is the world itself a part of the formation of the game?
Niu Xiaohua said after hearing this: "You mean that we obedient players and rebellious players, like the living people and paper people in the village, are played by people under certain rules?"
"What do you think?" Cao Qian looked at Niu Xiaohua, "Do you really think that the person who enters the game is the child of the heavenly chosen, will have superpowers, will get countless money, and will become a human in the real world? person?"
"Isn't that the case?" Niu Xiaohua asked in confusion, "We get a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in the game world, and we can use the points of the advanced world to exchange money, so that the real world can live better. This is not the game. Does it benefit us?"
Cao Qian sighed and stopped trying to make her understand. Niu Xiaohua's idea is the idea of most players, just like the villagers in this village, they spend their days in the game numbly and mechanically, without thinking about the ending.
Yan Hebi is more concerned about the safety of Xing Ye wearing the mask and how to pass the level. He asked: "Then there is no way to save the people in Mountain God Village? There is no way to overcome this rule and win?"
"Not at that time," a familiar voice came from the cave, "have you forgotten the world we used to pass? What can overcome malice is always a trace of kindness."
Cao Qian Yan Hebi Qian Daniu followed the prestige, it was actually Xing Ye!
But didn't Xing Ye put on a mask and become a sacrifice? Why does it appear in the cave?
Xing Ye walked to the masked person, took off the small mirror from his neck, and stood in front of the crowd.
"How did you do it?" Cao Qian asked in surprise.
She had been looking at the mask man just now, and was actually very scared in her heart. She was worried that Xing Ye would also become the nourishment for the mountain god grass, leaving only one head in the mask.
Until now, her heart fell to the ground and she was finally at ease.
"It's the ability of the QR code of'Paper Double'," Xing Ye said.
After putting on the mask, Xing Ye and Lu Mingze felt the emotions hidden in the mask, and also found that a mysterious force was trying to break Xing Ye's body.
At that time, Xing Ye's thinking had been controlled by the mask, but the little mirror controlled Xing Ye to click on the QR code "paper double" in the bracelet through the power of "empathy".
Lu Mingze can use Xing Ye's QR code and points, but he can't use his initial skills. He replaced Xing Ye with a "paper stand-in". After regaining consciousness, Xing Ye immediately concealed the mask with "Stealing the Sky" and hid the "paper stand-in" as his body under the mask, while he appeared in the cave.
"Stealing the sky and changing the sun" is Xing Ye's achievement title. Each world can only use it once. As long as he is clever and delicate, he can use "the sky and changing the sun" to conceal the rules of the world.
He quietly escaped from the mask and black robe with "paper substitute" + "stealing the sky", but the small mirror was temporarily left on the paper substitute, and Xing Ye needed to retrieve the small mirror manually.
What just explained to everyone is Lu Mingze who can speak up.
Xing Ye said: "When the'Requiem' took effect on the living corpses in the black mist, I thought about the existence of resentful spirit energy in this world. And the living corpses don't have much resentment, and they too Controlled. Then the only thing that can produce resentful spirits is this mountain god sacrifice. So I guess the so-called mountain god may be a sacrifice in the past, and all tragedies were brewed by the people in this village."
"Can the'Requiem' quell the resentment?" Cao Qian asked.
Xing Ye shook his head: "One world has the rules of one world.'Requiem' is only the most effective in the campus world, but in this world, its power is not enough."
Qian Daniu asked: "Then how do we end this tragic reincarnation so that the grievances will no longer be trapped in Mountain God Village?"
"In fact, we found the answer long ago, but it was taken away by the village chief."
Xing Ye walked to the village head. He was soaked in hot spring water, but his clothes were intact. Xing Ye took out a rag doll and some embroidered rags from his pocket.
"This is Grandma Cao's last words," Xing Ye said, "I've been thinking about it, is it only useful for telling us that Mountain God Village has an outside world? If this is the case, the village head won't find it so hard. "
Now that these originally thin fabrics were soaked, Xing Ye stacked the rags together, and the embroidered characters of several rags were all stacked to form a QR code.
"There is also this kind of QR code?" Qian Daniu exclaimed, "What's the matter with the QR code in this world? Three in a row are hidden so deep, the previous high-level world QR code will not be so difficult to find."
Because this is a world where the rules of the game are involved, there will be no ordinary QR codes. Each QR code symbolizes the power of the game.
"You can scan it." Xing Ye said to Cao Qian.
Cao Heihei is a child of the Cao family. She is better to use it to be safe.
After Cao Qian scanned the QR code, the two-dimensional code in the bracelet prompted the message: Mother's love can contain everything.
After seeing this description, Cao Qian picked up the last piece of rag, which was all in Chinese pinyin. When Cao Qian lied to the village chief, these pinyins were talking about the village outside, but that was not the case.
This is a letter, a letter from Grandma Cao to her son who died young.
Cao Qian picked it up and read: "For my dearest son, many years have passed. If you are still alive, you should be full of children and grandchildren. Mom doesn't know where you were lost back then. I climbed the mountain again and again. Calling your name, but no response, I cry every night, crying so that my eyes are almost blind, and then I dare not cry, afraid that if you come back, I will cry blind and not see your face.
"I'm going to accompany you. If I can have another life, I still want to be your mother. This time I will hide you at home and keep it firmly. I will never lose you again."
After hearing this passage, Qian Daniu murmured: "I know why as long as I hide in the house, I won't be controlled by the sun or hurt by the black fog. Because my home is the only pure land in the heart of Cao's children. He probably felt that it was because he left home that he was arrested and killed. The grievances felt that the home was safe."
Xing Ye didn't refute, he thought that this time, what Qian Daniu said was correct.
Cao Qian asked, "Should we use the QR code now?"
Xing Ye shook his head and said, "Wait for the evening."
It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Xing Ye and others tied the soaked paper people together, brought them back to the village and placed them on the square. Yan Hebi also brought back some of his teammates from the guards. The guards didn't say anything, they also wanted to wait for the end of the story.
As for Wang Sipang and Qin Xiaoer, if Xing Ye can pass this level, they will also benefit. Even if they don't want to listen to Xing Ye's control, the obedient props were snatched by Yan Hebi, and Xing Ye's power really allowed them. They were not convinced, so the two of them shut up and did not speak, and followed Xing Ye's command.
All the paper people who can move in the village are on the square, and the village party secretary, at Xing Ye's suggestion, leads the villagers to guard the square.
It's been fifty years, it's over.
As night fell, the black mist gradually came up, and countless palms stretched out from the black mist, grabbing the paper people lying on the ground.
The voice of Heiwu Village Chief rang: "Hahahaha, Yang Xiaomao, you did a great job!"
Xing Ye didn't speak, but winked at Cao Qian. Cao Qian immediately clicked on the QR code, and a call came from the quiet night: "Baby, where are you? Mom has been looking for you."
"Mother's call", a QR code dedicated to Mountain God Village, Grandma Cao's call can awaken the origin of everything and end sin.
At this time, Xing Ye had brought the masked man over. After hearing this call, the mask shook violently, separated from Xing Ye's paper double, and flew into the black fog.
