Chapter 117 Blue Tea Island 11
Bai Gu is the protagonist, and Bai Gu is dead.
These two things have to be true at the same time.
If Bai Gu hadn't died, Bai Gu wouldn't be the protagonist.
Xia Bai had entered the game several times and had seen many game cases. He had figured out some of the game routines and thought of it very smoothly, but Jiang Qingfeng and Jiang Yitong couldn't understand it. Jiang Qingfeng asked, "Why did she die?"
Jiang Yitong said: "The people on Blue Tea Island treat her as a living person. She looks like a normal living person."
Ling Changye explained to them patiently, saying the most practical things, "In games on ordinary maps, some protagonists have existed in reality, or the game backgrounds are very close to reality. In these maps, ordinary living people will not have abilities beyond human capabilities."
"After a person dies tragically, due to hatred, unwillingness, obsession, etc., they become evil spirits, and then they have very strong ghostly abilities, such as curses and hallucinations."
"There is a great possibility that Bai Gu is the protagonist. Bai Gu is dead, and we don't know when she died. But when she died, she must have had a lot of hatred and possessed related abilities, which is the spiritual pollution related to atonement."
Jiang Yitong thought about what he said and said, "It may be like this. Blue Tea Island originally believed that women were guilty. People with sins would not be respected much on the island, not to mention women from outside the island. They could be treated in any way. Bai Gu died under this mentality."
"After she dies, Blue Tea Island's atonement will be hers."
Jiang Qingfeng still felt that "after her death, it wasn't all revenge, she also did some good things."
"These are just our speculations for now. We will confirm it tomorrow. If Bai Gu is really the protagonist, we can complete the game as long as we find the cause of her death." Ling Changye said.
Now, Jiang Qingfeng and Jiang Yitong went to bed with peace of mind.
Xia Bai and Ling Changye did not sleep. They went to find a psychic.
The psychic should have communicated with Bai Gu today, and maybe she saw something.
The psychic's psychic skills are also effective against ghosts. Ghosts are ghosts, and ghosts also have souls. It's just that the effect is not as good on humans. Perhaps it's because Bai Gu still has a physical body. Ling Changye succeeded in communicating with Bai Gu twice.
Yesterday the psychic said that he had communicated with Bai Gu twice and saw Bai Gu being dragged away by someone.
But he didn't say it today. Originally, if he didn't say it, they wouldn't be in a hurry to ask. Now they suspect that Bai Gu is the protagonist. If he can communicate with the spirit world, it will be very crucial.
The psychic is still in the original room at Seaweed House No. 11.
The two of them first told the psychic their speculation, and the psychic didn't seem surprised, so he must have guessed it.
Xia Bai: "So the content of your spiritual communication is very important."
He opened his beautiful eyes and looked at him intently. The meaning was very clear: tell them quickly.
The psychic lay on the bed, legs crossed, looking like he didn't want to talk.
He now does have the capital to take Joe.
As long as he can find the protagonist, the same protagonist he sees every day, he can complete the game by himself, just by communicating with the spirit a few more times.
Xia Bai: "Okay, our whole family depends on you to lead us to success. We haven't done anything harmful, and we are in good spirits. It's okay to wait a few more days. Please work hard and finish the game by yourself."
Psychic: “…”
Ling Changye looked at him carefully, "Are you mentally okay?"
Xia Bai was also surprised, "You have never harmed anyone? They didn't come looking for you?"
Xia Bai’s surprise was genuine. Could it be that he really had a prejudice against psychics?
He thought that the psychic would be the same as the four people from the Holy Travel Guild, not just in this game. Xia Bai thought that since the psychic was in the top three in the points ranking, he should have played a lot of games. This should not be the first time he encountered this kind of game with internal penalties. He passed them all.
Xia Bai fell into deep thought, staring at him blankly with his thin eyebrows furrowed.
"I've said it before, I didn't do anything to harm the world!" The psychic sat up from the bed. "You just want to know what I saw on Bai Gu? I saw her with a boy."
That was probably when Bai Gu was in her teens.
On the Wutong Road outside the school, the two walked slowly together on the fallen leaves.
The sky was blue after the rain. The girl was holding a green leaf in her hand. When she looked up at the boy, the light in her eyes was particularly bright, and there was a slight embarrassment on her face.
The girl's shyness is like a peach blossom, it is hard to imagine it appearing on Bai Gu's face now.
Xia Bai and Ling Changye immediately thought that this should be the same period as the scene where Ling Changye saw people waiting for something.
The person Bai Gu was waiting for might be this boy, but she waited from day till night but still couldn't find him.
It seemed to have nothing to do with her death. After listening to it, the two were about to leave, but the psychic stopped them and asked, "What's the matter with the two ways of death?"
Xia Bai: "Think about it yourself."
Psychic: “…”
The next morning, when Medusa was not seen, the psychic asked again, "Where is Medusa? Did she die last night?"
Xia Bai: "Check it yourself."
Psychic: “…”
By the afternoon, all of the psychic's questions had been answered.
That afternoon it was time for them to go to the confessional to confess.
When they came here for the first time, they didn't know whether to confess or not. After a dead person appeared that night, they couldn't wait to find the statue to confess. However, it seemed that confessing in other places was useless. Finally, they waited until they entered the confessional again. This time, no one hesitated and couldn't wait to go up and confess.
Xia Bai listened to their confessions and how many evil things a person could do in his lifetime while looking at the statue.
There are so many eyes on the statue, it is really as Jiang Qingfeng said, a bit like the source of spiritual pollution. If you look at it for a long time, it looks like living eyes, with strange things in them. Those strange things may be the scenes of your life, and the people who have cause and effect with you.
After all those who were anxious to repent had gone up to repent, Lao Yang went up.
He stood calmly in front of the statue and said, "Last time I confessed that I was not a good father. This time I confess what happened in the past two days. I killed people. I killed five people."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.
"Last time I mentioned that my daughter ran away from home, and when I saw her again, she was dead. She had been sexually abused, and it took me a long time to find out who killed her. They were Yan Quan, Medusa, Fang Xiaofeng, and Yu Yin."
The psychic's eyebrows jumped and he slowly raised his head.
Old Yang took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.
Xia Bai noticed something was wrong. When Lao Yang killed Medusa last night, he was very calm. He didn't start to get nervous until now.
He was not nervous, he was suppressing something and fighting against something.
When he came to the confessional for the first time, Lao Yang only confessed to his daughter. In fact, he had already killed Yan Quan at that time, but he did not confess to killing Yan Quan.
Xia Bai's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked at Lao Yang in a daze.
"On the first night I came to Blue Tea Island, I killed Yan Quan. I hung him on the roof because they had hung my daughter up and tortured her. I drained his blood because they had also drained my daughter's blood. She was so shriveled and light."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
If this wasn't a confessional, there would probably have been a lot of discussion.
New players all know how terrifying Yan Quan is, and the old Yang in front of them looks like an ordinary old man, and he looks quite kind on the surface, but he actually killed Yan Quan silently.
The other three...
"On the second day, I killed Fang Xiaofeng, on the third day it was Yu Yin and Wang Chuang, and on the fourth day I killed Medusa." He said calmly.
really.
Many players looked at him in shock.
"I should confess to Wang Chuang the most. He didn't kill my daughter, but I killed him. That night, when we went to the statue to confess, I also heard Wang Chuang's confession. He had raped several women, one of whom was less than 18 years old. When I heard it, I thought of my daughter and wanted to kill him."
"That night, I was afraid of being discovered when I killed Yu Yin, so I didn't let her bleed. Her death was different from the other two. I was afraid of being discovered and not being able to fully avenge my daughter, so I killed him to divert attention."
Old Yang raised his head, using his thin shoulders to support his weak neck, looking at the statue and the pointed roof. "I have killed five people in my life, but I don't regret it. My life is okay, it's good."
"I'm just sorry for holding everyone back."
After coming out of the confessional, the psychic was about to go find Lao Yang, but Xia Bai grabbed his arm and asked, "How dare you go find him?"
He still looked like a mint green girl, and when he slightly tensed his face, it was much more serious than his own. "It's your Saint Tour Guild. Don't you know how many people the four of them have harmed? They enjoy killing and torture, and have caused so many families to be broken up. Do they really think they can live a carefree life? Do they really think that ordinary people are ants that they can crush and kill without revenge?"
The psychic suddenly broke free from Xia Bai's hand, looked at him with a twisted face, and breathed heavily, showing that he was really angry.
Xia Bai put his hands behind his back and whispered, "He has been mentally polluted, so you don't need to do anything."
The psychic turned to look at Lao Yang. In the dark twilight, Lao Yang was walking forward quietly. He seemed to be fine, but suddenly, he raised his hand and waved it, as if he wanted to wave away something around him.
After being mentally polluted and having hallucinations, people will be constantly killed by the people they have killed in their own spiritual world. If we only take the first time in the confessional as the node, there is only Yan Quan in Lao Yang's spiritual world. If the mental pollution is real-time, then there are five people.
One person wouldn't be much better than five people if it was Yan Quan.
Old Yang waved his hand and walked away, into the invisible night.
Jiang Qingfeng asked: "Did Lao Yang's daughter die in the game?"
Xia Bai nodded, "She was tortured to death by those four people in the game. For the past two years, Lao Yang has been preparing to avenge her every day. He joined the Game Management Bureau because he is an ordinary person with no connections or means. However, he did save many people, so his work cannot be erased because of this."
Jiang Qingfeng immediately went after Lao Yang.
After they left, Xia Bai lowered his head and said to Ling Changye: "Captain, I am not a qualified member of the assault team."
"Who said you weren't?" Ling Changye said, "Sometimes, being a good member of the assault team is not inconsistent with what you want to do."
Xia Bai looked at him straight, "For example?"
Ling Changye: "For example, in this game, finding the truth as quickly as possible and clearing the game is what a qualified assault team member should do, and it can also accomplish what you want to do."
He called the players together and asked them first: "Did you find out anything in the north of the island today?"
Before going to the north of the island in the morning, Ling Changye told them that the protagonist of the game might be Bai Gu, and asked them to find out about Bai Gu.
Several players were shaking their heads.
"People in the north of the island are like crazy fans of Bai Gu. I asked several of them but couldn't get any information out of them."
"You don't ask questions like I did when I knew they supported Bai Gu, so I asked them in a complimenting way. I said Bai Gu was great and I wished I was her child, but the person who redeemed himself said that Bai Gu's child couldn't be as old as me."
“…”
The people in the northern part of the island are indeed difficult to conquer, and those who are still in schools in the northern part of the island are in the period when they believe in Bai Gu the most.
Xia Bai used his charm skills and only asked one person why he supported Bai Gu so much. That person said that Bai Gu was salvation and destination, and he really seemed like a crazy fan.
But after a day, Xia Bai became more convinced that Bai Gu was the protagonist of the game.
He also confirmed that, just as Jiang Qingfeng had said, the people who were redeeming their sins in the northern part of the island were actually living quite well. Not only did they have hot meals, but they also had a nice place to live.
Ling Changye said: "Go ask around in the village. If it's hard to find out, you can try taking out the more valuable things you have."
After the others had gone far away, Ling Changye asked the psychic: "Did you get anything from the psychic?"
"You didn't see anything once, and what you saw once is not the key," said the psychic.
He didn't see anything during the séance during the day. When it was getting dark, he quickly communicated with Bai Gu again and saw an intimate scene.
The psychic said directly: "I saw her and that boy in bed."
Xia Bai immediately looked at Ling Changye, and Ling Changye knew what he was thinking.
The last time he communicated with Bai Gu through spiritualism, he saw that Bai Gu was pregnant. She was sitting quietly in a sealed room, touching her belly very gently.
At that time, they all thought that the child belonged to some islander. Ling Changye couldn't confirm whether there was love in Bai Gu's action of stroking her belly, because if there was love, it would be a bit strange for someone like Bai Gu.
Would she be willing to stay here just because she was pregnant with an islander's child? Would she love a child who was forced to come here and whom she had never seen?
If the child was from the boy she liked, everything would make sense.
Sadly, that boy died.
When he went to the village to inquire about the news, Ling Changye told Xia Bai what he had communicated with Bai Gu today.
This should be a continuation of the last time when we were waiting for someone.
The young Bai Gu never waited for that man. She looked up at the sycamore leaves under the light, walked into a small path, and was covered by the mouth by two men and dragged into a car. While she was struggling, she saw the dead boy and immediately forgot all her movements and screams.
The two tried to recreate the process.
Xia Bai said: "Bai Gu was in love with a boy when she was in her third year of high school. One time, she waited for the boy, but he didn't show up. In fact, the boy came, but he was killed. He dragged Bai Gu until dark and kidnapped her. Later, Bai Gu might have been taken to Blue Tea Island, and the boy might have been thrown to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish."
Ling Changye continued, "When Bai Gu arrived at Blue Tea Island, she initially resisted vigorously and never gave up trying to escape from this place. Later, she found out that she was pregnant. She knew that the child was that boy's and wanted to give birth to him, so she voluntarily stayed here."
Xia Bai: "That child is really the key."
Ling Changye nodded, "The bride also seems to like children very much. Let's go to the bride to ask first, and then go to Bai Gu's house to check carefully."
Because they confessed in the afternoon and did not have to undergo labor reform, they left the north of the island earlier this time, just after dark, which was the time for dinner.
Smoke rises from every household in the village, and the aroma of food fills the air, adding a touch of warmth to this lonely Blue Tea Island.
Xia Bai used his charm skills and Ling Changye used his money skills, and they shamelessly went to the bride and groom's house to get a free meal.
The bride and groom seemed to get along well. The groom cooked the meal and the bride helped him by bringing the dishes to the table one by one.
Xia Bai watched from the side and complained: "When can we live a life like yours? It's so tiring to atone for my sins in the north of the island."
"Tired of atonement?" The bride smiled. "Those who say they are tired of atonement are probably the ones who have a good life."
Neither Xia Bai nor Ling Changye could understand what she said.
After dinner, the bride saw them out.
Xia Bai asked her again: "Do you really feel that atonement is not tiring?"
"Last time your companions came to ask me why I wanted to get married to atone for my sins and why I felt I had sinned." The bride said, "I told them that I must have sinned because my life was so miserable."
"However, I only told them half of it." The bride said: "The second half of my life was that after my parents had accidents, I married a scumbag. When we first got married, he said he was not ready to be a father and asked me to have an abortion."
"After the miscarriage, when we really wanted a child, I miscarried out of habit. That man kept pua-ing me. You know, in that mood, I wanted a child like crazy. The more I wanted, the more I miscarried. In the end, the doctor confirmed that I could not have children, and the man left me and ran away."
"I'm still stuck in that quagmire. I must have a child. I've tried several times with other men, but it still doesn't work."
"Xiao La is the cutest boy in the whole Blue Tea Island. I don't have to suffer so much anymore. I have a child now." The bride said: "This decision was made by Bai Gu for me. It seems that she was forced."
The bride looked at the only path in front of the door, which was particularly quiet at night.
"Do you know what is the most painful thing for a desperate person who has been miserable all his life and nothing he does is right no matter how hard he tries?" asked the bride.
Not knowing whether they were living a miserable life or not, Xia Bai and Ling Changye had no answer for a moment.
"It is a choice, and I will choose again. I will choose again." The bride said: "I believe in Bai Haixian. I come to atone my sins, which means I have cut off my choice. I only need to do one thing, atonement, and all the choices for the rest of my life will be made by Bai Gu. I have lived such a miserable and desperate life, what am I afraid of? Can it get worse?"
"I gave my suffering soul to her, and she gave me a peaceful life without suffering, or even a little hope for the next life." She pointed to the road and said, "I just need to walk slowly and not think about anything."
Both of them were stunned.
The bride smiled at them and closed the door.
The two of them were still standing at the door without moving.
On the day of the wedding, Medusa and Yu Yin told them what they had heard from the bride. Probably all the players thought that the bride was ridiculously stupid to actually believe in something as absurd as getting married to atone for one's sins.
Did the bride really believe it? She seemed to believe it, but she also seemed not to believe it. It didn’t seem to matter whether she believed it or not.
Is the bride really stupid? Is she foolish? She is not stupid, not foolish.
Those people in the north of the island who seem to be living a good life, those beautiful people, the disabled, the mentally retarded - those who can only see painful things in their souls and can't find any warmth, are they all stupid?
Xia Bai once heard people say that true faith is to sacrifice one’s soul.
He didn't understand it then, but now he understands one of the possibilities.
My soul is in so much pain, can you take it away?
I am too tired of living, can I leave the rest of my life to you?
The North Island School on Blue Tea Island is a place where tormented souls are stored.
The two walked towards Bai Gu's residence, passed by the house of the boat seller, and saw him biting a gold bracelet and happily telling the player the story of Blue Tea Island.
"I'm talking to you. I'm from Blue Tea Island. Don't disbelieve me. If I'm not from Blue Tea Island, half of the people on this island wouldn't be from Blue Tea Island."
"That beautiful girl last night actually didn't recognize my identity as a Blue Tea Islander. How despicable!"
Xia Bai asked: "Captain, if we tell all the people on Blue Tea Island that Bai Gu is dead, how will they react?"
Ling Changye: "Maybe half of the people won't believe it."
Xia Bai: "Where is the other half?"
Ling Changye: "It doesn't matter."
They realized that at least half of the people on Blue Tea Island were here to atone for their sins. They stayed on Blue Tea Island, just like the brother who sold the boat.
A group of new people came to the traditional Blue Tea Island and brought something new to the island.
They cannot ask these newcomers about Bai Gu because their souls are with Bai Gu. They have to go find the old man, the native who doesn't like gold and won't say anything to them, as the boat seller said.
The two men temporarily changed their plan and decided to look for such natives first.
They recalled the people they had seen here in the past two days, recalled the performance of the islanders at the wedding, and found the home of the matchmaker at the wedding.
Xi Po was not at home, but there was an old lady in Xi Po's house, probably her mother. The old lady was a little dirty, crouching at the door, with messy hair, and a pair of eyes looking out uneasily through the white hair, and then shrinking back after a glance.
Old people are better, especially old people like this, who seem to have a lot of stories and know a lot of things.
Xia Bai used her charm skill directly, "Old man, I'm getting married and need a matchmaker. Is the matchmaker home?"
"Get married, get married and cry, cry!" said the old man.
She seemed to be mentally unwell. Xia Bai gave Ling Changye some time to communicate with the spirit, squatted down, and asked her: "What if I don't want to cry?"
The old man shook his head quickly, "My dear girl, cry if you want to! If you don't cry, you will be beaten after marriage. It's better to be hurt for a while than to be hurt for a lifetime, okay?"
As she spoke, she took out a needle from her pocket and tried to prick Xia Bai.
Xia Bai: “…”
In order to avoid the prick, he thought of many ways in his mind, and finally he said: "It hurts, don't cry, I'm pregnant."
Ling Changye's spiritual communication ended abruptly, as if he suddenly stumbled while walking.
