Chapter 28 Mountain God
After the other two arrived at the forest, they split into two groups to search for the missing persons.
The sun is shining brightly, and the lush green leaves are dazzling.
Si Yuan stopped, squatted down and picked up the soil on the ground.
A hole was dug here and then filled back up. The person who did it was very perfunctory. He just stepped on it casually and left, not caring at all about being discovered.
As he ran quickly, he turned his head to check the road conditions and found similar traces in different locations. So he held his chin in thought.
"Did Qi Heng do this?" he muttered.
The communicator suddenly rang. It was a message from Ye Yunhe. Her tone was a little strange. She told Si Yu'an that she had found Qi Heng and that he was fine, but the scene was hard to describe. She asked him to come quickly.
After notifying the location, he hung up the phone, leaving Si and An confused.
He identified the directions and ran towards Ye Yunhe. He began to wonder what kind of explosive scene the other party had seen that he would describe as "hard to describe in words". After traveling together for so many years, he is still quite curious.
It’s really hard to put it into words.
Si Yu'an looked at the ground in front of them in shock. It looked like the ground had been dug by moles. There were holes of all sizes densely packed here, and many farm tools were thrown aside at random. Some of the hoes looked familiar; I had seen them in the village not long ago.
Hesitant to speak, hesitant to speak, Si and An showed innocent and naive eyes.
He glanced at Qi Heng who was sleeping peacefully against the tree stump, and whispered to Ye Yunhe who was folding his arms beside him, "Qi Heng fell asleep because he was too tired from digging the pit?"
“…”
If Qi Heng heard this, he would definitely compete with you to see who is better.
Ye Yunhe glanced at Si and An, pointed at the people under the shade of the tree and began to narrate:
"After I found Qi Heng, I first checked on him. It turned out that he was simply asleep and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard I called him."
"It's uncertain when he fell into coma. It could be after he dug the pit with the group of villagers, or it could be before that."
As she spoke of this, she leisurely showed off a wild flower in her hand.
"The strangest thing is that when I came, Qi Heng was lying on the ground, and her posture was even more peaceful than this. She was holding this flower in her hand. At first glance, she looked like Sleeping Beauty."
Ye Yunhe can still recall himself being full of question marks at that time. His original worried mood was broken by this dramatic scene and shattered into pieces, leaving countless confusions lingering in his heart.
Si and An followed her actions and looked at Xiaohua. The flower held its head high with vigor, its petals full and bright in color.
"...It's obvious that this is not something Qi Heng would do. Could it be the mysterious person from the previous instance?"
His brain started working frantically and he locked onto a suspect.
He took the flower again and examined it carefully, not missing any petals. Finally I found out that it was just an ordinary, unremarkable little flower picked from the roadside.
So was it really just a simple POSS for Qi Heng?
Isn’t this behavior a bit childish? ?
Si Yu'an originally thought that he would be a mysterious person, and now it seems that he is indeed mysterious, but lacks a bit of mystery.
Ye Yunhe estimated the time and sent a message to Lin Muyu. Si Yu'an squatted down and looked at Qi Heng, shaking his shoulders hard and calling his name.
There was no reaction, not even an eyelash moved.
Qi Heng closed his eyes and took long breaths. This light sleeper who used to wake up three times a night now couldn't wake up no matter how hard I pushed him.
“It should be the mysterious man.” Ye Yunhe hung up the phone and walked over, patted Si Yuan on the back and asked him to carry the man.
"I just spoke to the captain on the phone, and he said the villagers didn't know what happened either."
"You said this scene... is it similar to what happened to Nina back then?"
Yes, this inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
Si Yu'an suddenly realized, bent down and skillfully carried the person on the ground. He straightened Qi Heng's head which had slid down, and then he and Ye Yunhe rushed back one after the other.
Anyway, let's go back and discuss countermeasures with the captain.
——
There is still a day and a half left in the countdown.
A powerful psychic was banned, the situation is not good. The trio gathered again in Qi Heng's house to discuss the follow-up plans.
"That person's behavior is unpredictable. From the surface, he has been providing important clues to speed up our clearance."
"If he has no ill intentions, then Qi Heng should wake up soon."
Lin Muyu looked outside.
After he asked the villagers, the NPC who was praying earnestly was horrified to find the white bones under his feet, and asked him what was going on.
Before he could figure out how to answer, the other party suddenly paused, as if shutting down and restarting, and then revealed his initial natural and gentle smile. As if nothing had happened, he and everyone else moved the wooden barrel into the mountain temple, ignoring Lin Muyu as nothing.
When all the wooden barrels were neatly placed, the villagers left one by one. He tried to stop them, but they just charged straight at him without even turning, so he had no choice but to avoid them and observe.
After that, the villagers were like AIs waiting after completing their tasks. Some of them farmed, some swept the floor, some fed the chickens...
If we talk to them again, the only thing they can remember is the time when they prayed at the mountain temple. Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Lin Muyu went to the village gate to wait for someone.
"The opponent's strength is unknown. At present, it seems that he is not a character that can be dealt with. However, I have already contacted the rescue team and explained it. We just need to pass the level without worry."
"Well, if an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops, and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth."
Ye Yunhe's right eyelid twitched suddenly. She reached out her hand and rubbed it, and couldn't help but think of an old saying.
Don’t believe in it. Don’t believe in feudal superstition. She cursed in her heart, her mind wandering to all the troubles that had happened recently.
Suddenly, she realized something was wrong and questioned her two teammates:
"Speaking of which, the only thing that runs through this instance is the mountain god and the sacrifice. But now the high priest has been locked up in the basement. Do we have to perform the sacrifice?"
Lin Muyu, Si Yuan:!
Yes.
The trio fell silent together.
It is known that the countdown is three days. After three days, the sacrifice will begin, the big boss will break out of the statue and start killing crazily.
What if the sacrifice is not held?
What a mistake. I actually made such a low-level error.
Lin Muyu reflected secretly, took out the corresponding book from the shadow, opened the catalog and searched for the relevant information.
Two heads came over from both sides and started searching with him. The handwriting in this book is handwritten, and it is difficult to read because the words are so densely packed together. The sharp-eyed Si Yuan exclaimed "Ah" and pointed a finger at a place.
"About the evil spirit formed by the condensation of resentment... This is it."
This is it, worthy of you.
Their teammates gave them approving looks, and Si and An raised their heads proudly.
The author of this book uses easy-to-understand words to explain how evil spirits are born, how they upgrade, and finally how to eliminate and transcend them. The words are simple, the metaphors are vivid, and it is full of practical information.
The book says: One resentment may only make you feel cold all over, but the evil spirit formed by dozens of resentments can, on the other hand, make you feel cold all over.
The power of evil spirits is determined by their number and the degree of pain they suffer. The more powerful the evil spirit, the stronger its self-awareness. He will lie in wait patiently, and take revenge at the most appropriate time.
It will parasitize on an object and fall asleep, absorbing energy to grow. The advantage is that it can only leave the body at special times, but the disadvantage is that it grows very fast.
Seeing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they didn't need to roll the dice to decide who would be the high priest. The evil spirit will leave the idol at a specific time, so all you need to do is know the time of the sacrifice.
Suddenly, the same question emerged in their minds, and was hidden deep in the next moment.
Ye Yunhe glanced at Qi Heng who was sleeping on the bed and couldn't help but yawn, feeling a little sleepy.
"Every time I read a book, I feel sleepy... Fortunately, this book is not boring. So we need to set up the formation, purify the bones with resentment, take out the black box hidden by the high priest to confuse the evil spirits, and finally perform physical and spiritual salvation, and it will be done?"
Ah, what a tedious process, what a troublesome evil spirit.
But I always feel that this BOSS is quite easy to beat... Is it an illusion?
"Why do you seem so tired? Cheer up."
Lin Muyu poured her a cup of cold tea to wake her up.
I don’t know if yawning is contagious, but he also felt a little sleepy and his brain’s processing speed slowed down a lot.
I seem to have forgotten something...
He frowned and looked at Si and An beside him. As expected, they were also drowsy.
Something is wrong. There must be some important clue that has been forgotten. I can't fall asleep.
Lin Muyu was becoming more and more sleepy. He bit the soft flesh in his mouth hard. The pain seemed to be numbed. Only the strong smell of blood came out, which made it impossible for him to wake up at all. He then drew out his long knife and slashed his thigh hard.
This was of some use. He pressed hard on the wound, looked around, gritted his teeth, picked up the kettle on the table and poured it on Si and An.
"!"
The effect was remarkable. The cold tea gave Si Yu'an, who was struggling with sleepiness, a start. The other shook the water droplets on his head and began to think of a countermeasure with his dull and rusty brain.
Oh, right, Xiaoye's...superpowers...
After some difficult work, he finally came up with a solution that was enough to solve the dilemma. With a shock, he suddenly became extremely clear-headed. Si Yuan immediately turned to look at the light of hope, calling her name affectionately.
Ye Yunhe had fallen asleep.
Lying on the table, sleeping soundly.
“…”
At this moment, Si Yuan clearly heard the sound of his own heartbreaking. As his defense was broken, the sleepiness that had been suppressed became even more violent and swept over him at the right moment, completely devouring his shaky consciousness.
Is this what life’s ups and downs are like? You get the light, but it’s extinguished in the next second. How cruel.
Si Yuan closed his eyes peacefully, and before he even had time to strike a pose, his head slammed on the table and he fell into a deep sleep.
“…”
Seeing that his two teammates couldn’t hold on, Lin Muyu leaned weakly on the chair, his long sword fell to the ground, and he struggled conscious to resist.
He finally remembered all the doubts and clues that he had been forced to forget.
Where did the six sacrifices go? Why is the sacrifice held on the fourth day when the countdown is clearly three days? Why do you think it was a mysterious person who did it?
These problems that were forcibly buried emerged one by one.
As early as the beginning of the copy, they were already in the center of the spider web. The poison gradually penetrates deeper and eats away at one's vigilance, laying down hidden threads. The evil spirit will close the net at the right time.
Qi Heng was the first one to be targeted by the evil spirit because he was the first to use his supernatural powers and show his threat.
All along, I have been misled.
He couldn't hold on any longer.
Lin Muyu closed his eyes and gradually fell into an endless dream, with his remaining consciousness boundless.
The distress signal has been sent. He understood the government's emphasis on the potential team and knew the speed of the rescue team. But the success rate of space teleportation is not 100%, so everything has its pros and cons.
Also, if they successfully leave the copy but are still unconscious, will they wake up again?
…
As the captain, he was blinded by the illusion and failed to fulfill his duties, causing himself and his teammates to fall into such a predicament. It was his fault.
The situation has been determined. Lin Muyu will not collapse or feel embarrassed about it. He just feels unwilling to accept it.
——
It was silent.
There are three more Sleeping Beauties in this room.
