While Bai Gu was thinking, Su Er remained humble and gentle and waited on the side.
Perhaps trapped in the tree hollow for too long, lost in thought, his bones seemed to stiffen once more. Su Er, helpless, coughed and struck while the iron was hot: "You led the evil spirits to obtain Yin Qi, and I will help my friends escape death. Why not?"
Giving up face in exchange for a happy ending is a good deal!
Bai Gu was an extreme egoist, otherwise she wouldn't have quickly found someone without feelings to have sex with, gotten pregnant, and escaped God's death penalty. After a long silence, she said, "Okay."
Su Er was very kind and first provided her with some Yin Qi, calling it an extra gift. Bai Gu was very satisfied, and the murderous intent in his heart faded slightly.
Su Er: "Do you want to see the Holy Child?"
The dark hole seemed to be staring at him. Just as Su Er shuddered, the bones coldly refused: "The child doesn't know that I am his mother."
After saying this, her upper body slowly squeezed out of the tree hole. She was deliberately placed in a kneeling position when she was buried, so her legs were not very comfortable for walking.
The bones drilled directly into the ground. Sur looked in the direction of the shaking ground and judged that she had gone to the opposite hill.
Ji Heng clapped his hands a few times at this time, and the players came out of the room one after another.
"Thank God," Li Zicang muttered, "If we stayed a minute longer, we would have collapsed."
The Holy Infant would open his eyes from time to time and look at everything around him as if we were all babies.
"Did it succeed?" After complaining, Li Zicang asked the key question that everyone was concerned about.
Leaving aside the sinister part, Su Er outlined his plans for tomorrow, concluding, "You can't trust ghosts. We're talking well now, but who knows, they might turn against you."
The implication is that it is better to be more careful.
Suppressing his curiosity and not trying to figure out what the other party had done to convince the ghost girl, Li Zicang said with a naive smile, "The villagers are also a variable."
Su Er: "With the Holy Child and the evil spirits here, they can't pose much of a threat."
Li Zicang and Yizhu were inclined to resolve all of them. Countless people had died at the hands of the villagers over the years, so there was no need to show mercy.
There are hundreds of households, and Sur felt a little resistant in his heart. The key point is that if he kills this group of people, the game can still create new maniacs.
Killing people is like releasing a floodgate; once you start, you get used to it. In comparison, he still prefers mental work.
Finally, Ji Heng spoke up and said, "The villagers may become ghosts after death, so it's better not to cause trouble."
Li Zicang immediately gave up the idea.
·
This was destined to be an unusual night.
The villagers would suffer from the pain of dying of thirst every night, but tonight, they all gathered at the gate of the yard with steel pitchforks in their hands.
The day before the sacrificial ceremony begins, God will show mercy and alleviate the pain in their bodies.
Outside, there was a faint sound of prayers, like the sea, wave after wave hitting the shore.
Li Zicang climbed up the tree and looked coldly at the villagers outside the wall who were almost going crazy. He had tortured these people a thousand times in his mind.
Just at this moment, there was some movement underground and a head broke out of the ground.
Su Er greeted him like a housewife and said with a smile, "You're back."
White Bones: "…"
Young people nowadays don't care about their dignity in order to survive.
Looking at this scene from a distance, Yizhu couldn't help but shake her head.
She always felt that there was something fishy between Suer and Ji Heng. She looked at Ji Heng first and found that his eyes flashed, and it was obvious that he was attracted by her cuteness.
"Oh."
This kind of mentality will lead to being cheated sooner or later.
The bones did not come back alone, several more skeletons emerged from the soil.
Suer counted them and found thirteen.
Still a little short of the Eighteen Arhats.
Hiding the slight disappointment in his eyes, he turned his head and asked Ji Heng in a low voice: "Why do some ghosts have no corpses, while others are in the form of skeletons?"
Ji Heng copied Yao Zhi's catchphrase: "Respect species diversity."
Instead, Yizhu said, "Things with physical form are often stronger."
Su Er thought thoughtfully: "Like the host?"
"…"
With her strong associative ability, Yizu suddenly understood why Ji Heng did not answer the question directly.
The Skeleton Legion is not easy to deal with. As soon as they arrive at the yard, they ask for benefits.
There's no point in writing a blank check, Soul smiled at the players present.
After understanding the eye contact, the others returned to their rooms.
Sur then walked forward and sent some Yin energy to the tallest skeleton.
The bones trembled for a moment, and then attacked the next moment.
The scene from the daytime was repeated. Fortunately, Suer hid behind Ji Heng and threw the stun gun out. His skillful movements were heartbreaking.
As soon as the hand bones touched the electric shock device, an intense burning sensation came.
Bai Gu, who led his companions here, could actually feel Sur's helplessness. After all, a familiar scene had just happened between the two sides a few hours ago.
After the interlude, transferring Yin energy to other skeletons went much more smoothly.
Bai Gu began to introduce: "This is my great-grandmother."
"Hello, old man."
"This is Uncle Sun."
"Hello, Uncle Sun."
…
Suer had an excellent memory. After just one introduction, she was able to tell which bones were which.
In the second half of the night, he fought hard to resist sleepiness. Humans are food to ghosts, and Suer was afraid that if he took a nap, they would be eaten as a snack.
Ji Heng: "Sleep for a while, I'll call you when the time comes."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Su Er put aside his unnecessary affectation and leaned back in the recliner to rest.
The sound of the villagers' prayers lingered for a long time. Half asleep and half awake, he felt like a lone boat rocking on the sea, struggling to find balance. He didn't know how much time had passed before he felt a gentle push, instantly waking up.
It's dawn.
The knocking on the door started, and when no one opened it, it became louder and louder until it turned into a banging on the door.
The moment they broke into the house, the village chief changed his usual humble attitude and said grimly, "Didn't I tell you that the doors in the village should not be locked at night?"
Just as he was getting more confident, he saw a pile of bones behind Sur and suddenly began to gasp and retreat.
Sur smiled, walked into the house, holding the Holy Child and slowly walked out surrounded by white bones.
The villagers who were furious just now kept retreating.
"What are you afraid of?" He stared intently, "Our ancestors said, I'd rather die standing than live on my knees."
Ironically, when evil people see ghosts, they behave worse than ordinary people.
Many villagers' legs became weak and they even had difficulty walking.
A golden light instantly pierced through the mist. Sur stopped forward, yelled "Protect!", then took out his item and crouched among the bones. The other players did the same, some even moving faster than him.
The village chief was shocked by this sudden change, even more so than the sight of the bones. The man who had vowed a minute ago that he would never live on his knees was now cowering among the bones, his head invisible.
"Fuck you!"
A swear word actually came out of his mouth.
Face is not as important as life. Sur is holding the Holy Infant very tightly, almost calling him daddy.
In the brilliant golden light, a god with a sad face parted the clouds and looked down at the scene below. Seeing this scene, his lips moved and he actually forgot the words.
Where did these idiots come from?
After a moment's silence, a voice shook the morning glow, "Fulfill your promise."
His eardrums seemed to be pierced. Sur quietly hid his head in his shell and secretly took out a mirror. The red heart in his ear was trembling with unprecedented intensity.
A large hand reached down from the sky and grabbed one of the players.
Li Zicang felt a strong sense of crisis, and his premonition was indeed correct. To Bai Gu, Su Er was his employer, and he would have to rely on him for future benefits. As for the others, their protection was perfunctory.
Li Zicang took a deep breath and was ready to use props at any time.
When the big hand was still half a foot away from the man, the Holy Infant suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were bleeding, and the blood turned into smoke, wrapping around Li Zicang's whole body.
The light bounced back, and the god's cold voice came from the sky: "Why are you protecting adults?"
The Holy Child did not answer. The palm of his hand wrapped in white cloth stretched out a little, and then grew long like a bamboo shoot, as if he wanted to pull the god down from the clouds.
For a moment, half of the god's golden light was actually repelled a little.
Sur witnessed firsthand the power of physical ghosts.
The god was very surprised by the rebuttal and asked again, "Why?"
The sound waves were even more deafening than before.
Su Er covered his ears, unable to bear it any longer: "It doesn't understand, don't ask."
Is it interesting to play the lute to a cow?
"…"
No one was willing to take a step back and they fought to the death.
After saying that, Sur kept staring at the peach heart on the small mirror. Even if the stalemate continued, he could leave as long as he could get through today.
God's gaze shifted to the villagers. As ordinary people, they dared not offend anyone. The village chief took the lead, kneeling on one side with his head lowered, and kept reciting prayers.
One holy infant is already troublesome enough, and now there are bones protecting it. It is impossible to take it away in one wave.
God changed his mind: "Hand over the four messengers."
The Holy Infant didn't understand, the players pretended not to hear, and the Bones were only thinking about the negative energy, so no one paid any attention to the gods for a while.
"Good, very good." The majestic voice was mixed with a hint of anger.
Su Er's legs were numb from squatting, and he looked at Ji Heng helplessly: "When will it get dark?"
Ji Heng remained quite calm and straightened up slightly: "Instead of wasting time, it's better to promote education."
He looked the god in the face: "Teach this child some common sense, so that he won't be deceived again next year and ruin your plans."
Upon hearing this, God's gaze fixed on the Holy Infant. He remained silent for a long time before finally deciding to stop temporarily.
Su Er changed his leg and half-knelt to relieve the pressure. He sighed sincerely, "In terms of heart, Ji Heng was the most evil. With just one sentence, he made this child step into the ocean of knowledge."
The atmosphere fell into dead silence, and the villagers' prayers gradually became inaudible.
Su Er asked Ji Heng with his lips: "What are the chances of persuading him to quit?"
Ji Heng's expression was unfathomable: "It depends on whether he is a god or not."
Su Er's eyes froze.
Ji Heng laughed: "Didn't you never regard him as a god from the beginning?"
Sur didn't deny it and said softly, "I've only heard that demons like to make deals."
The god remained high and mighty, but he issued an ultimatum: "Hand over the two men, and I will forgive you for what you have done."
The numbers had dwindled dramatically, and from the suppressed tone, one could sense that they had reached the limit of their patience. Sur's lips curved up after hearing this. He deliberately opened his mouth so that even the bones could hear, "The great gods do not bargain."
Li Zicang was the master of sarcasm, and he said, "Could it be a monster in disguise?"
Yizhu smiled coquettishly: "I heard that devouring a powerful monster can make you stronger. Do you think eating him will make you more beautiful?"
"…"
The speaker had a good heart, and the listener was even more attentive. The stiff bones tilted and exchanged information with his great-grandmother.
If they could truly use this evil god as nourishment, perhaps they could further cultivate a physical body.
Bai Gu wasn't stupid; at this stage, he just had an idea. He'd have to be crazy to take the risk of attacking a god. After so many years, some fear had become ingrained in him.
Women understand women best. Yizhu fully understands this selfish mood and said, "Now is the best opportunity to test it."
As long as the gods do not fight to the death, it proves that they have concerns.
The 'Bone Legion' remains unmoved, and the players themselves become the beneficiaries.
The air between heaven and earth was squeezed, and Sur knew that the gods had really taken action, but it was not as earth-shattering as he had imagined. The bones stood on the side of the Holy Infant, and for a moment the gods were helpless.
Su Er deliberately raised his voice and said, "Fight him!"
Seeing the momentum rising here, the god's golden body dimmed, and before disappearing, he said in a cold voice: "Within three days, I will come to take your lives."
Suer sneered. Not to mention three days, he could leave this damn place today.
Bai Gu was about to disperse when he suddenly found that his ankle was grabbed.
"Wait a little longer." The peach heart on the mirror was still beating. The god must be hiding in the dark.
Bai Gu sighed: "You are a man at least, you have some backbone."
Su Er: "I will give you enough benefits."
Driven by profit, Bai Guduo stayed there for a while, a full half hour. When Bai Gu was getting a little impatient, the mirror finally returned to calm and a line of small words popped up.
Su Er's self-analysis is nothing more than a dislike of conventions. He glanced up and then looked up.
On the other side, Ji Heng lowered his eyes, his gaze was unfathomable. Noticing Su Er's worry, he put away the mirror without saying a word, smiled and said, "It's nothing serious."
This was the first time the other party had intentionally concealed information. Su Er frowned: "Is it serious?"
"It's misleading, and it's hard to judge right now," Ji Heng paused and said, "Perhaps it's better not to know."
In order to change the future, it is easy to push the trajectory of destiny forward with your own hands.
Su Er heard the deeper meaning behind the words and gave up asking about the information on the mirror. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time. "I'll go back to the yard first."
He still owes the bones a debt.
The villagers avoided it like the plague and automatically made way for it.
In order to conceal his tracks, Sul passed on the Yin energy in the house. The bones were greedy and could only delay the process.
Just as he was about to lose control, he felt a familiar tug, and his hands and feet began to lose control. Su Er's eyes lit up, and he gave the Blue Lotus Sage a "timely rain" evaluation.
Just like when he came, half of his body was quickly sucked into the mirror. Bai Gu felt sorry for the electric shock device and reached out to pull him. However, Su Er dodged and waved, slowly uttering two words: "Goodbye."
It's best to say goodbye forever.
·
After leaving the feudal and weird village and looking at Nongxu again, I suddenly realized the loveliness of this city.
Contrast creates happiness.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw several players gathered in the hotel, Sul's eyebrows moved...comparison can also cause harm.
The players who chose to play it safe are feeling very bad at this moment. The host clearly described it as a dead end, yet all those who left returned safely. If they had known this would happen, why would they have stayed and wasted their time?
A few people quickly adjusted their attitude, but there were still two or three people who glanced at Sur secretly with hostility in their eyes.
Suer was quite puzzled by the inexplicable arrow shot in the knee.
Is it really a physical problem?
Ji Heng said calmly, "There are always some mediocre people who think that if someone with such low martial arts skills can survive, I'm sure I can too."
"…"
The voice was not lowered intentionally, and for a moment everyone in the hotel could hear it.
The wise man Qinglian sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, enjoying the show.
Ji Heng asked: "What should I say to this kind of person?"
Su Er responded readily: "If you can do it, go ahead."
He didn't really like this saying, but it was quite fitting for some people. At least now, no other players were looking at him with such sour, jealous eyes.
The host did his job well, having the rabbit waiter prepare a meal in advance to welcome the returning guests. A glance revealed a faint smile on the face of the Azure Lotus Sage: "You've made quite a harvest! You're almost on the verge of finding complete hope."
There was something powerful about his words. His seemingly light words made the atmosphere tense.
The remaining players once again regretted not participating in the game.
"Since everyone is here, and it's still morning..."
The Green Lotus Sage didn't give the man a chance to continue, and said, "New tasks will be issued tomorrow."
Some people enjoy the same meal, while others find it difficult to swallow.
The Green Lotus Sage suddenly spoke: "There is only one last task left."
Su Er stopped chewing the chicken leg and said, "There are still two days left."
"The seventh day will be purely for sightseeing," the Azure Lotus Sage said slowly. "So I hope everyone can gain something tomorrow. It's a... very interesting little game."
After a pause, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "I believe you will like it."
