"Don't cross this river."
"Don't cross this river."
"Don't cross this river."
There were dense and overlapping needle-like sounds in his ears, which gave Yu Qimiao a splitting headache.
It was not until they saw the blood-red stone tablet on the other side of the river that they realized they had successfully crossed the river.
What is the name of this river?
Sun and Moon River? Gan Gan River? Or Yang Yin River?
On the other side of the river, it has only one name: Yin Yang River.
Su Qiang's bamboo raft floated to the shore. Just as it stood firm, it discovered that deep among the red spider lilies, there was a young and beautiful woman playing with a young girl by the river.
The little girl looked only four or five years old, and she smiled innocently, as if she had an extremely happy childhood.
However, Su Jing knew that she had lived on the banks of the Yin-Yang River and had already passed away.
The girl noticed Su Jing, her watery eyes flickered as she looked at him puzzledly.
The woman next to him noticed the unfamiliar voice and showed an expression of familiarity.
"Oh, another little girl is coming ashore." She stood up, took the little girl's hand with her right hand, and helped Yu Qimiao hold the oar with her left hand so that he could successfully get ashore.
"Poor girls, come with me," she said to the two strangers, "and I will show you the other sisters."
Su Jing followed immediately, and Yu Qi Miao followed closely behind him. They passed through clusters of red spider lilies and walked into the houses they saw when they first entered the dungeon.
The room was brightly lit, a world of difference from the scene during the day.
Su Jing had no body and felt nothing after entering the house.
Poor Yu was still frightened for seven seconds, and was shivering in the chilly and gloomy air in the room.
They looked up and saw that the house, which was empty during the day, was now covered with square wooden signs, each with a woman's name on it.
When Su Jing got closer, he could even see the soul of a woman attached to it, representing the vengeful spirit of a person who died unjustly in Gan Gan Village.
There are so many wooden signs, roughly estimated to be two to three thousand.
Yu Qi Miao was so shocked that he lost the ability to speak and his mouth was wide open.
Su Qi raised his neck to look for a moment, then reminded him, "There's more inside."
"Inside?"
Yu Qimiao looked carefully and found that there was more than one layer of wooden signs, and there were wooden signs from earlier years stacked on top of each other.
Su Jing inferred that the earliest wooden sign was hung at the highest point in the room.
Over time, it became too high to hang it, so the rope was lengthened and hung at a slightly lower position.
Later, day after day, they hung up layer upon layer of wooden signs, until they finally hung down to a point where they almost touched their heads.
From a distance, the houses appear to be about three meters high.
There is no specific height for Su Jing himself, but Yu Qi Miao's standard height is 1.8 meters.
Su Jing stretched out his hand and measured. Each wooden sign was about fifteen centimeters high. Hanging down from a height of three meters, there were at least seven layers in total.
The room is very large and each floor can hold at least two thousand signs.
Yu Qimiao felt a chill all over his body, enveloped by the bone-chilling cold, and almost lost the ability to think.
Su Qiong stated calmly, "There are at least tens of thousands of wooden signs here."
——Tens of thousands of wooden signs.
——Tens of thousands of ‘them’ who died tragically in Gangan Village.
Yu Qimiao's heart tightened, the air in his lungs practically drained out, and he fell to his knees in agony. The immense pressure in the room made his consciousness blur several times.
The woman who brought them in didn't seem to notice anything unusual. She smiled and said, "You must have suffered a lot of grievances before you got here. It's okay. We will protect each other from now on."
Her tone was gentle and there was holy compassion between her brows.
"Everyone should get along well, be happy and peaceful." After saying this, she looked up and murmured softly, "Strange, why don't the other sisters show up?"
As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, reached out and touched the wooden sign to call her sisters.
The sisters didn't show up, but I heard a very frightened, "Don't call me!"
"Ah?" The woman looked confused.
The other wooden signs began to speak.
"He's a man, stay away from us!"
"Why are there stinky men on our riverbank?"
"Go away, leave our world."
Countless angry and desperate voices filled the air, calling for them to be driven out.
Faintly, you can still hear painful sobs.
The woman who turned into a wronged ghost thought of the cold river and the snow-covered mountains, and was pulled back into the bottomless nightmare.
"Let's go. We can't stay here any longer." Su Jing made a decision immediately.
'They' were full of resistance to men, and even if Su Jian insisted on staying, he would not be able to get any useful clues.
Moreover, Su Jing could feel that his and Yu Qimiao's presence would cause them pain.
"Yeah." Yu Qimiao responded in a daze.
There is a magical aura on the other side of the river, which creates a great sense of oppression on the male body.
In just a few minutes, Yu Qimiao was having difficulty breathing and his internal organs were in severe pain.
Su Jian: "We must have missed some information."
According to the rating given by the system, the difficulty of the hidden mission is E (Peaceful), and no harm will be caused to the player during the mission.
Ke Yu felt pain within seven seconds, proving that he did not meet the conditions to complete the task.
The two of them crossed the sea of red spider lilies and got back on the small bamboo raft. Yu Qimiao's complexion improved a little, revealing a bleak look as if he had survived a disaster.
"Is the secret hidden here?" he asked Su Jing.
"Yeah." Su Qi nodded. "I can hear their stories when I get close to each wooden sign."
Although Su Jing did not stay for too long.
But it was enough for him to feel through the wooden sign the blooming years of those women, and feel their tenderness and beauty.
Su Jing asked softly, "Why?"
"Hmm? What why?"
"Just across the river, how can human nature be so evil and yet so kind?" Su Qiong first looked in the direction of Gangan Village, then turned back to look at the other side of the river.
“…”
Yu Qimiao was silent for a long time before he whispered, "Because human nature is very complicated."
Su Jing remained silent, unable to accept this casual answer.
Yu Qisuo took a deep breath and said, "It is precisely because of the existence of darkness that light is so precious."
"Where is the light?"
Yu Qimiao thought for a moment and replied, "To me now, you are the light. Without your guidance, I would have a hard time adapting to this game and would have been killed at any moment."
"But I didn't choose to guide you out of my own free will. It was because of work."
"Is the reason important?" Yu Qimiao knew too well the principle that 'interpersonal relationships are based on interests'. Even though he knew it, he was still grateful to Su Jing.
Su Jing: Humans are indeed very complicated.
Back on the other side, Shi Yuntian and Lu Shufan squatted on the shore together, stretching their necks to look around like two huskies.
"You guys are back? How was the mission?"
"It wasn't finished, so I was sent back."
Lu Shufan: "Don't be discouraged. At least we know how to cross the river now. We still have two days left to complete the dungeon. If things really don't work out..."
Yu Qimiao took over the conversation and said grimly, "It destroyed Gangan Village."
"Yeah." Su Jing actually agreed.
The other two were dumbfounded.
From the time they entered the dungeon until now, Yu Qi Miao has been the one with the most stable mental state among the Orphan Alliance.
Shi Yuntian was on the verge of going berserk several times and planned to solve the problem with force, but it was all thanks to Yu Qimiao who helped him assess the situation.
And now, the man with the most stable emotions has turned evil.
The point is, the system NPC actually supports players in destroying dungeons, which is outrageous.
Su Jing's ability comes from the system. Destroying the main copy of the system is no longer a matter of "eating from a bowl and then putting it down and cursing."
——He is planning to overturn the table and destroy the house!
"Calm down, both of you calm down first." Shi Yuntian never dreamed that things would change so fast that he would actually advise others to calm down.
Lu Shufan: "If you destroy the village, we won't be able to know the truth."
Su Qiong raised his marshmallow head and said calmly, "I have some ideas about the missing clues."
"explain!"
"The nursery rhyme we heard has a second part." Perhaps the truth and clues are hidden in the second part.
"That makes sense."
"Shall we come back tomorrow night to look at the stele?"
"Well." Su Qi continued, "If we can't find any clues, then..."
"Gangan Village was destroyed." Yu Qimiao repeated again.
He heard the cries with his own ears and felt their despair.
The pain I have experienced is not even one ten-thousandth of what 'they' have experienced.
These young girls could have had a peaceful and happy life.
However, because he met the wrong person, he was thrown into the riverbed and barren mountains at a young age.
Everything is thanks to Gangan Village.
What's the point of a village like this, which is so dirty, corrupt, and filled with sin?!
"Yes!" Su Jing agreed very much.
Shi Yuntian and Lu Shufan: "..."
My teammates are going crazy, what should I do?
**
In the early morning, familiar screams echoed in the village, and several more players disappeared on the spot.
When Su Jing heard the sound, he immediately flew out to investigate the situation and discovered that the players who served as the control group last night completely matched the patterns they had deduced.
After eating the meal, the players who had money on them saw all their property disappear.
Players who have eaten but have no money will be judged by the system as having failed the game and will be forced to leave the Gan Gan Village dungeon.
Yu Qimiao and his friends only ate steamed buns, the money they had was still there, and they had not disappeared.
The food with pork in it is indeed the condition for the dungeon NPC to activate its skills.
Su Jing floated behind the one who followed me and told him the conclusion.
Those who obey me win in surprise, "You told me this specifically? So kind?"
"Well, I'm the guiding NPC, and I'm here to help you pass the level." After Su Jing finished speaking, he turned around and floated away, hiding his achievements and fame.
——Guiding NPCs to convey wrong information to players is a violation.
He told me yesterday that those who follow me win the wrong information and of course it must be corrected in time.
He who obeys me will win. I stared at his back with complicated feelings.
Look, what a kind, cute and simple NPC.
Even if Su Jing chopped off my head, I would not feel hatred because the one who obeys me wins.
He even wanted to give away another head so that Marshmallow could upgrade quickly and gain more abilities to provide him with clues.
Su Jian slowly floated back to his own cave and heard the vicious sound of debt collection from afar.
"Give me back, you old bastard!"
"If you don't pay me back today, I'll have my brothers kill your entire village!"
Su Jing: Wow, there is such a good thing?
