Chapter 562 [(*^▽^*)]
Even the villagers who had just walked away came over, asking, "What do you know?"
Qin Xingyu sneered, "If the evil god had stayed inside the temple, Fu Qingqiu would never have had the chance to become a vengeful ghost, and none of this would have happened!"
"About ten years ago, the village chief, together with a few old folks in the village, claimed to have found a way to seize the power of the evil god and wanted to kill the evil god."
Villagers: "Did they succeed?!"
Qin Xingyu: "You could say it was a success, but you could also say it was a failure. The evil god was severely injured by them, but he escaped, and they did not obtain the evil god's power."
"The evil god fled and has never appeared since. Because no one discovered it, it has been kept secret until now."
"Since the evil god is no longer here, there is no need to send offerings to the evil god anymore. However, just in case, the village chief and the others still sent offerings twice, according to the village's custom of once every ten years."
"Ten years ago, it was a child named Zhong Wuyan who was about ten years old. Do you still remember him?"
Everyone was shocked; they never expected such a thing to happen.
One villager's face twisted in disbelief, "If an evil god is hidden in the ancestral hall, then whoever goes in will be..."
Qin Xingyu: "The odds are against us."
Why didn't you say so earlier?!
Qin Xingyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Why didn't I say so earlier? If I had, they wouldn't have gone in to their deaths."
Upon hearing this, not only the villagers but also the players were stunned. What was going on with this villager? Was he actually on the side of destroying the village?
In other words, this villager is on the BOSS's side and will help the BOSS kill all the villagers.
Rong Yuwen took a few steps back without making a sound, maintaining a safe distance. If this was the villager's goal, then don't forget that all the players now belong to the villagers as well.
Guo Xia and Guo Chengzheng exchanged a surprised glance, but they didn't overestimate themselves. Although they were traitors, the villager in front of them didn't know that!
The two men and two women standing behind Qin Xingyu looked at him with shock and fear. "You... how could you do such a thing? Could it be that Fu Qingqiu..."
Qin Xingyu: "Ha! What do you know? It's not just Fu Qingqiu, but also that child from ten years ago. They didn't have to die, after all, the evil god was seriously injured and escaped!"
"But for their own selfish reasons, they were unwilling to make this public and even sent the villagers of Haitang Village to be sacrificed alive, trapped in stone coffins and suffocated or starved to death."
"Wu Yan was only ten years old. Just because he had no relatives in the village, you all chose him to be a sacrifice, and Qing Qiu too..."
"What need is there for a village like this to exist? I'm doing a good deed!"
Qin Xingyu looked at them with a smile, "If you have any shame or conscience left, then commit suicide. Nobody can survive anyway!"
After he finished speaking, he looked in a certain direction and said, "You agree, right, Qingqiu?"
Everyone turned to look behind them, and sure enough, they saw a somewhat illusory figure. If nothing unexpected happened, this was the boss of the dungeon, the vengeful ghost Fu Qingqiu.
Fu Qingqiu stood not far away, about fifty meters away from them. He was dressed in sportswear. If you ignored the surrounding environment, his dark eyes with a hint of red, and his pale skin, he would look like a young and beautiful college student.
"Yes, such a village has no reason to exist, so why should you continue to live in this world?"
"If you can't bring yourself to do it, I can help you."
Rong Yuwen and the other players huddled together, watching Lin Leyou warily, gripping their weapons tightly. At this moment, they had no other thoughts but to think about whether the BOSS could get close to the ancestral hall.
After waiting for a while, Lin Leyou did not hear the answer she wanted.
"I'm very disappointed." Lin Leyou looked somewhat dejected. "Why don't you feel any shame for what you've done?"
"Some of the villagers who were sacrificed in the past did so willingly for the sake of the village, while others were naturally unwilling. But what could they do even if they were unwilling? They were still nailed to coffins and sent to the evil god as food. None of them returned as ghosts because their bones and souls were eaten by the evil god."
"Therefore, no matter how unwilling or resentful they are, they have no way to come back and avenge themselves."
At this point, Lin Leyou smiled and looked at the four villagers hiding behind Qin Xingyu, "Now the whole village is just you guys left."
"So... are you still going to put up a fight? Even if you don't die now, you'll die later anyway. Or... do you think the evil god who was seriously injured and fled by the village chief and the others will save you?"
As Lin Leyou spoke, he couldn't help but let out a low laugh, which gradually grew louder and echoed around him. Both the players and the villagers couldn't help but cover their heads and ears.
However, it was all in vain. The laughter was like a sharp thorn, piercing directly into their brains. The more they listened, the more dizzy they became. Some people couldn't even stand up straight and were staggering around, almost falling to the ground.
Only Guo Xia, Guo Chengzheng, and Fang Yuan, three players huddled at the back, pretended to cover their ears, but in reality, nothing was wrong. Fang Yuan was still secretly observing the other players.
I couldn't help but feel smug inside. I've cheated! I've cheated! I've cheated!
Fortunately, Lin Leyou stopped laughing after a while. He suppressed his laughter and said, "Look at your pathetic state. You still want to fight me?"
"Fine, if you don't want to do it yourself, then don't. I'm not in a hurry. I'll take you one by one and slowly send you on your way. No need to thank me... I'll destroy this rotten and stinking village."
Soon Lin Leyou's figure disappeared in front of them, and the temperature around them seemed to rise a little.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief but was also somewhat at a loss, Rong Yuwen suddenly said, "The fact that he didn't act immediately means that he can't get close to the ancestral hall yet, so we still have time."
Everyone paused for a moment, and then someone quickly said, "But the thing in the ancestral hall is an evil god. This evil god probably doesn't have good intentions towards us either. We're caught between a rock and a hard place. What should we do?"
What to do? Rong Yuwen didn't know what to do either! If he knew, he wouldn't be so anxious. "Don't worry, let's think of a solution together."
Just then, they noticed that Qin Xingyu was actually walking away into the distance.
"Where...where are you going?! You wicked devil..."
The player looked ahead and saw Qin Xingyu slowly walking forward.
Qin Xingyu had already walked far away. "Where am I going? Of course I'm going home. Qingqiu won't lay a hand on me. You can all just stay here and suffer. Goodbye... This is probably the last time we'll see each other."
The player watched as Qin Xingyu's figure gradually disappeared. The gusts of cold wind around him noticeably dissipated when they reached his vicinity, and the dust and withered leaves flying everywhere did not stick to him.
The sight of this scene was particularly distressing for the four remaining villagers. One of the women covered her mouth and cried out, "What should we do... what should I do?"
"I don't want to die... I really don't want to die! I want to leave... Let me out!"
"It has nothing to do with me, I didn't do anything, why kill me?"
The villagers over there were going crazy, but the players here quickly calmed down.
Rong Yuwen gathered all the players together, and they discussed how to deal with the current situation.
"To be honest, this evil god and Fu Qingqiu are bound to have a battle. Why don't we..."
"You're dreaming! You think we don't want to reap the benefits? But how could we! Even if they were to fight, they'd probably wait until they've killed us all before attacking. Why would they leave us out? Do you think the bosses in this difficulty dungeon are idiots? It's obvious you're a newbie. This kind of thing only happens in low-level difficulty dungeons."
After being bombarded with his outburst, the player fell silent. After all, he was a newbie and hadn't expected things to turn out this way. It seemed that high-level difficulty dungeons were indeed not so easy to pass.
Rong Yuwen glanced thoughtfully at the ancestral hall, "I think... there might still be a chance."
Everyone asked, and Guo Xia and Guo Chengzheng also wanted to know Rong Yuwen's thoughts, but he shook his head.
"It's not certain yet, so I won't say anything. I'll let you know once I've confirmed it."
He didn't seem as panicked as the other players; on the contrary, he became calmer and calmer as time went on, as if he had found the key to passing the level.
Guo Xia and Guo Chengzheng exchanged a glance, neither of them rushing to ask further questions. They figured he was going to tell them anyway, so they just waited; their hidden main storyline was sure to succeed.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui were with Qin Xingyu at that moment.
"Teacher Qin, why didn't you tell us what you just said before?"
Qin Xingyu: "Wasn't this just for the sake of creating a dramatic effect? Wasn't that great just now?"
Lin Leyou nodded in agreement, "It is indeed very good, the plot is excellent."
Qin Xingyu: "What, you still can't get close to that side?"
Lin Leyou shrugged. "There are still about eight or nine meters left. That thing inside won't last much longer. At this rate, we'll be able to confront it by midnight tonight."
Qin Xingyu said, "This evil god is extremely cunning. You must be careful and not be caught off guard. My part is finished. From now on, you will have to rely on yourselves."
Lin Leyou looked at Qin Xingyu, "Aren't you going to help anymore?"
Qin Xingyu squinted as she walked forward. "You two are so strong, why would you need my help? To be honest, even if the two of you teamed up, you wouldn't be able to complete a task of this difficulty. After we get back, come to my house, and I'll give you a good special training session!"
Lin Leyou blinked, "I understand..."
