Shi Yuntian is too lazy to use his brain when playing games, but he is not a fool.
Hearing Lu Shufan's muttering and seeing the structure of the iron chains in the cage clearly, Shi Yuntian roughly guessed what had happened here.
"You mean...?"
Lu Shufan put down the chains, and his usual smile disappeared from his face.
Faced with this situation, it is difficult to keep smiling even if the best actor comes.
He raised his hand and pointed forward, "That door should lead us out. Let's go to the back of the mountain and take a look."
"Okay." Shi Yuntian gathered all his strength, raised the heavy blade and split the door panel with two blows.
The heavy door panels collapsed with a loud bang, but the sunlight did not enter the cave.
The two looked up and found that there was a 'mountain' outside the cave.
——If a high slope made of piles of white bones can be called a mountain.
Seeing so many corpses suddenly, Lu Shufan trembled twice, and even the brave Shi Yuntian did not dare to step forward immediately.
He tentatively extended his heavy blade, pushed aside the surface bones, and carved a passage from the side close to the stone wall. Enduring the tingling sensation on his scalp, he crawled out from the pile of bones.
"Don't just stand there, you idiot. Come over here and look for clues!" He turned around and called out to Lu Shufan.
“…” Lu Shufan swallowed, made the sign of a cross on his chest, and then clasped his hands together.
He first prayed to all the gods from ancient times to the present, both in China and abroad, before shrinking his body and crawling out of the pile of bones.
I was extremely alert throughout the whole process, afraid of hurting any bones.
Behind the pile of bones is another village.
Winter is coming to an end, and the villagers are busy loosening the soil in advance to prepare for spring.
Hearing the noise, several older villagers near the pile of bones looked over warily, with deep disgust in their eyes.
Lu Shufan quickly clarified and swore, saying that they had nothing to do with Gangan Village.
The older villager came closer and asked carefully, "You don't smell bad, I believe you."
Lu Shufan: "Do all the people in Gangan Village smell bad?"
The older villager replied angrily, "Yes, they stink so badly that you can smell it from far away!"
Shi Yuntian and Lu Shufan looked at each other and hurriedly asked the reason.
I heard from the villagers next door that in the early years, Gangan Village was a beautiful village nestled in the mountains and beside the water.
The village has fertile soil, flocks of chickens and ducks, and simple local customs. It is a model village in the eyes of other villagers.
People from the surrounding villages wanted to find a good husband for their daughters, so they married their beautiful daughters to Gangan Village.
No one expected that a healthy and living person would disappear without a trace after getting married.
Some parents missed their daughters and came to Gangan Village to visit them, but were stopped outside the village by local bullies.
Late at night, nearby villagers could often hear a woman's mournful cries drifting over from the other side of the mountain.
"Women are naturally prone to crying, so we didn't take it seriously at first."
"Until one day, this door opened..."
A skeleton was thrown out from inside the door, with the flesh removed cleanly.
The villagers originally thought that they were pig and cow bones, but when they walked closer to take a look, they found that they were human bones.
And they were women's bones.
There was a doctor in the village who recognized the skeleton as that of a young woman by the structure of the pelvis.
The next day, the day after that...
Skeletons were thrown out of the door every day.
From that time on, the men in Gangan Village no longer farmed or raised chickens and ducks, but they miraculously survived year after year.
Gradually, a strong stench of decay emanated from them, and villagers from all around were so sick that they dared not approach them, let alone marry their daughters to them.
Since when, the men in Gangan Village who couldn't find wives would wait at the entrance of the village every evening.
Whenever they caught strangers passing by, they would sing strange nursery rhymes to them, asking for their wives and mountains of gold.
"Bah! Even if my daughter doesn't want to find a husband, she won't marry into Gan Gan Village!" The older villager spat angrily. "Those beasts in Gan Gan Village are cannibals, and they only eat women!"
It is said that after the wedding night, the newly married bride will be tied up by her husband's family and forced to give birth to a big fat boy.
The fat boy was crying for food, but there was no food or meat in the village.
The husband would let the child drink the mother's milk first, and if there was no milk, the child would drink blood.
If there is no blood left, they will just gnaw on their mother's flesh and blood, and "reproduce" in this deformed way.
"I heard that in Gangan Village, people usually call human flesh pork. If a family can't finish eating all the meat, they will give it to others as pork..." The older villager asked with concern in the middle of his words, "Young man, you look so pale, are you okay?"
Lu Shufan was speechless. He knelt on the ground, holding his stomach, scratching his throat in pain, unable to stop retching.
He remembered the first day he came to Gangan Village, when the village chief brought out a plate of stir-fried vegetables with some minced meat in it.
What did the village chief say at that time?
'A pig was killed years ago.'
'A pig.'
'pig……'
Lu Shufan's stomach was churning and he almost vomited gastric juice.
Shi Yuntian observed his reaction and thought of the meal. He turned his head to the other side and vomited heart-wrenchingly.
The two men knelt and vomited for half an hour, almost fainting. They supported each other to stand up, thanked the villagers, and returned to the village to discuss with Su Jing and Yu Qimiao.
"I remember one thing." Shi Yuntian said with a pale face, "That night, Yu Qisian didn't touch the food."
From the time they entered the dungeon until now, the Orphan Alliance has always acted as a group, with the only difference being the meal.
"I see." Lu Shufan was heartbroken. "I remember we mocked him for being a saint."
“…” The two looked at each other.
——Retribution.
Back at the cave, Lu Shufan was about to report the clues, but when he saw the scene inside, he screamed in shock.
"Ah! Who are you?!"
The beauty in a red dress and red skirt, with her black hair tied up, raised her eyelids and gave him a cold look.
The look of someone who has been in a superior position for a long time.
Fish in seven seconds.
"Why are you wearing women's clothes?" Shi Yuntian's pupils trembled.
Yu Qimiao was extremely embarrassed and didn't want to talk.
Su Qiong appeared from behind him and said, "I borrowed this dress from Li Ting. Grandma Li said it was originally meant for her when she got married."
"So, why does it take seven seconds for the fish to penetrate?"
"We plan to cross the river in the evening. There's a sign on the river saying 'Men Keep Out of the River.' My mimicry cloak can help him change his perception so he can cross the river, but it can't change the appearance of Fish Seven Seconds."
The Yangyin River has a clear rule: men are not allowed to enter this river.
There were originally several female players in the Gangan Village dungeon. They should have been specially arranged by the system to allow them to complete hidden tasks.
Unfortunately, before he even entered the village, he was scared away by an old bachelor.
As a man, a fish has a lifespan of seven seconds. Even if you force your way across the river, you will surely be punished if you are exposed.
So, Su Jing came up with this idea, asking him to dress up as a woman first and then put on his own cloak.
Not to mention, as a string of code with normal aesthetic taste, Su Jing is quite good at dressing up others.
When Yu Qi Miao puts on women's clothes, she looks like a bright and beautiful girl.
Unfortunately, the modeling of Su Jing itself is too perfunctory, and it is difficult to dress him up.
——I’m so envious of Apple’s throne, little cape, and blingbling big diamonds.
"Brother." Shi Yuntian patted Yu Qimiao's shoulder and said in a heavy tone, "Go with peace of mind. The organization will not forget your sacrifice."
Yu Qimiao coldly slapped his hand away and turned to look at Su Qiong. "Is this enough? What are you going to do?"
"It doesn't matter to me." Su Qi examined himself. "I don't even have a body, so how can I have a gender?"
His tone was so soft that anyone who heard it would feel distressed.
Yu Qi Miao's heart overflowed once again, and he asked, "Can I exchange my body in the system store?"
"Yeah." Su Jing nodded and opened the system store.
If Su Jian wants to exchange his body, he needs to pay KPI: 5 million.
There are a total of 5 million new players in "IF", which means we have to kill them all.
In order to gain experience using the "Win with Me" strategy, he would have to be resurrected at least 1.6 million times.
——It doesn’t matter if that guy dies repeatedly. After being chopped by Su Jing more than a million times, the bandage will definitely wear out.
Those who follow me win:???
You're trying to catch a sheep and rip it to death, right?
After a long silence, Lu Shufan said dryly, "Actually, marshmallows are pretty cute too."
"Yeah, there's no need to create a body, right?"
Su Jing raised the sign again obediently: I want it.
The other three looked away in unison.
Baby, I really can’t do it this time!
Lu Shufan cleared his throat and changed the subject with ease, recounting what he had seen and heard in the back mountain.
Yu Qimiao finished listening and was relieved, but then he thought, "Could eating the village food be the trigger?"
Su Qiong: "I think the correct trigger should be eating meat. You humans need to maintain life, and it is impossible to completely stop eating."
"That makes sense, let's try it tonight."
"How do you try?"
Su Qi immediately offered a plan, "Yu Qimiao, divide the money you have into three parts. At dinner tonight, one of you will not eat anything at all, the second will only eat steamed bread, and the third will eat vegetables with minced meat."
"No, no, no!" Lu Shufan and Shi Yuntian shook their heads desperately, refusing to eat meat.
Yu Qi Miao escaped by luck, but of course he didn't want to be a meat-eater.
"It's just meat." Ruthless Code couldn't understand the human's fear, but he still said cooperatively, "Okay, I'll find other players to serve as a control group for eating meat."
"Uh-huh!"
"Susu, you are my God!"
In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west. A few people ate their dinner carefully, and no one dared to touch the dishes mixed with minced meat.
Grandma Li was surprised and came over to ask, "Is there too little minced meat in the dish? Are you dissatisfied with the lack of meat?"
Lu Shufan shook his head vigorously, "We are all vegetarians and don't eat meat!"
"Mmmmm! If I eat meat, my mother in heaven will cry!"
Grandma Li was moved and said, "You are all good and filial children!"
Finally, they managed to fool the situation. Before it got dark, Su Jing ordered the three of them to drag the old man's bamboo raft over and let Yu Qi Miao sit on it.
Yu Qimiao was wearing a red dress and Su Jing's camouflage cloak, and she was not washed away by the current.
He rowed the boat towards the other side. The river, which was only three or five meters wide during the day, now seemed extremely long.
He rowed for a long time, and his body was gradually submerged in the sea of crimson flowers.
There are clusters of flowers around, with slender petals and silky hairs, the color of which is like fire and blood.
Lycoris radiata is the flower that blooms in the land of the afterlife according to legend.
The flowers were light and flexible. The fish entered the sea of flowers in seven seconds, but felt a huge repulsive force.
He held the oar tightly with one hand and the staff with the other.
Su Jing was very calm, and her soft body gave him a great sense of security.
"Are you afraid?" Su Qiong said, "We're still a long way off. We still have time to turn back."
Yu Qimiao shook his head and held him tighter.
There was a faint sound in my ears, as if a woman was talking.
One, two, three...
Thousands of sounds converged, gradually growing stronger and stronger, piercing Yu Qisuo's eardrum and causing pain.
"When I was eighteen, I traveled thousands of miles to marry into your family and entrusted the rest of my life to you."
"I'm pregnant with your child, and you once said you would treat me well."
"The way you treat me well is to lock me in a cage and let me cry and bleed and scream my heart out."
"You snatched my own flesh and blood from me, even though I begged and pleaded."
"I stayed alone in the dark for a long, long time, plucking out all my hair and gnawing on my nails."
"Finally, you came again, coaxing me into taking me home and killing a pig for me to eat."
"I'm so happy. I thought you finally came to your senses and were willing to live a good life with me."
"And then? You pointed your butcher knife at me, gouged out my flesh piece by piece, and said my flesh would be stale if I died."
"The snow on the back mountain is so cold, and the water at the bottom of the river is so icy."
"Do you know?"
“You know—!”
Yu Qimiao covered his chest tightly.
He had not experienced any of these steps, but he felt breathless and his heart was suffocating as he listened to them.
Su Jing has no human emotions and should not be affected.
But when he heard the women's cries, his emotions were tainted with deep sadness.
"Maybe it was wrong from the beginning. We shouldn't have been blinded by happiness."
“I didn’t hear the cries all over the mountains, I didn’t hear the cries from the bottom of the water, I didn’t hear them telling me—”
The sound stopped abruptly.
The bamboo raft docked.
Su Qiong and Yu Qi Miao both saw a monument on the other side of the river, inscribed with:
Yin Yang River
There are two lines of words below.
'Sister, turn back quickly!'
'Don't cross this river!'
