Chapter 394: Remains of the Zhou General (6)
He was silent, thinking of their previous experiences, and couldn't help but complain: "Doesn't that mean those with bad luck will have to reincarnate forever, while those with good luck may be able to pass it once?"
Tao Zi sighed, "That's probably the case. We might have been like this before."
Li Xiu was speechless and choked with sobs, but fortunately she had an idea this time.
In this cycle, the two men dragged all the people who were to be killed to a place with few people, which was also near the military camp.
Li Xiu quietly brought the dog over after knocking it unconscious. Looking at the group of people who had fainted on the ground, he said, "Hurry up and do it, or the military camp will find out."
Tao Zi always felt that she had overlooked something, but she had no choice but to agree.
Just in case, they both cut their throats first and then poured in kerosene stolen from the military camp.
The moment the fire started, there was a noise from the military camp and the two men immediately started running.
During the escape, Tao Zi accidentally discovered a quiet courtyard with soldiers standing everywhere, but those soldiers stayed far away from the courtyard and did not dare to get close at all. This looked a bit like when they were imprisoned.
A light bulb went off in her head, and she remembered what that man had said to the short-legged soldiers - send them to a safe place for supervision. She then remembered how the imperial princess had ordered those soldiers to commit suicide on the spot.
Could it be that the people inside are also those who deserve to be killed?
There was no time to think about these things. The two of them ran away and avoided mortals to avoid affecting their progress.
When the time was up, they were sent back.
This time, the reported progress was: "Seven out of ten."
Tao Zi sat against the wall, and the two looked at each other expressionlessly.
Li Xiu slammed the table in frustration and said, "Three tenths, and another three tenths, where is it?"
Tao Zi waved her hand, signaling him to be quiet.
She kept reviewing the entire situation in her mind, and things she had previously overlooked slowly surfaced in her mind. She whispered, "Li Xiu, if you were General Zhou, who do you think deserves to be killed most?"
Li Xiu thought again and again: "That mother and son?! No way, they killed themselves?"
Tao Zi nodded slowly.
He said anxiously: "If it's not, we will really die!"
She asked bluntly, "Do you want to bet?"
Li Xiu was silent for a long time, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Bet!"
Tao Zi added, "Actually, there's another person who needs to be killed."
"who?"
She said calmly, "General Zhou. Don't forget, he was the one who let us in."
Li Xiu looked at her in shock.
Tao Zi looked indifferent: "Want to bet?"
He replied without hesitation: "Isn't this nonsense? Bet! Even if it wasn't, I would still want to kill him."
She curved her eyebrows, and the two of them waited quietly for the early morning to arrive.
This time, everything went smoothly. The only difference was that Tao Zi also brought up the people in the yard.
Li Xiu didn't ask any questions. The two of them killed the men and the dog with fire, and then ran towards the general's mansion.
To their surprise, there was no one in the general's mansion. Oh, no, it should be said that there was only General Zhou. He stood in the house, as if waiting for their arrival, and his eyes made them know that this was not the General Zhou from three thousand years ago, but a mortal ghost general who had been wandering for three thousand years.
Tao Zi and Li Xiu stood in front of him, and Li Xiu silently stood behind Tao Zi.
Although General Zhou is a young mortal, his aura is truly terrifying. I wonder if it’s because he has been a ghost for three thousand years.
He asked slowly, "If you're not quarantined, what are you doing here?"
Tao Zi looked at him and said, "I came here to kill myself, and likewise, I came here to kill you."
"Kill me?"
She smiled and said, "We should kill, and you are no exception."
General Zhou burst into laughter.
Tao Zi gave Li Xiu a wink, and Li Xiu immediately poured kerosene into the room and then lit it with a kerosene lamp.
She said gently, "The aliens in both of our bodies have already taken shape, so after we commit suicide, we'll need General Zhou to kill them again. To prevent General Zhou from escaping, we'll have to burn the house down first."
General Zhou smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand."
Li Xiu asked at this time: "You won't resist?"
His eyes were complicated: "I am destined to die, why resist? This is what I deserve."
Tao Zi and Li Xiu looked at each other and chose to commit suicide together.
In agony, they left their bodies and watched what happened next: General Zhou killed the two aliens and then let himself be consumed by flames.
"Progress, 11 out of 10, two extra concentric bracelets as a reward."
Amidst such sounds, the two of them fell into complete darkness.
When they woke up again, they were in an open area with Cheng Wuchou guarding them.
Tao Zi looked at him blankly, and after a while she reacted: "Brother!"
Brother smiled and patted her shoulder, saying, "Wake up."
She struggled to sit up and asked, "How is my brother?"
Cheng Wuchou said succinctly: "I became General Zhou."
Tao Zi asked curiously, "What are the conditions for passing the level?"
He said, "Kill the mother and son with compassion."
She: "...No wonder I was killed so many times. How many people can meet these conditions?"
Cheng Wuchou asked in surprise, "You became that mother and son?"
"Yes. I am the mother and Li Xiu is the son."
Li Xiu, who was lying there in a slump, said weakly, "Can you please not emphasize this point?"
Tao Zi agreed casually and asked, "Brother, how did you know the conditions for passing the level?"
Cheng Wuchou pointed to the new bracelet on her hand and said, "Touch it and you'll know."
She was stunned, and then she realized that her brother also had an extra bracelet on his hand.
Tao Zi put her hand on it, and a paragraph of text suddenly appeared in her mind. The two points that concerned her most were the passing conditions, rewards and the next task.
Passing conditions: Kill all the people you should kill, including the mother and son and General Zhou (Note: Killing the people in the other courtyard will give you an extra reward, which will be given after the illusion ends)
Reward for passing the level: General Zhou’s sword (fake, can only be used in the illusion).
The next task is to kill General Zhou completely.
Putting aside the seemingly ridiculous reward, just mentioning this paragraph, Tao Zi couldn't help but say, "This writing is weird, but it's quite easy to understand."
Cheng Wuchou said concisely: "This is how the Xuanyue Royal Family writes."
Li Xiu also looked at it, and said angrily with a hint of gnashing of teeth: "Are you sick? You actually only stated your request at this time."
She soothed him, "Maybe it's a test."
Ah Xiong sighed and said, "I suspect this illusion may wipe out quite a few people. In other words, there will be very few people who can carry out the task of completely killing General Zhou. Ah Zi, you need to be more cautious."
Tao Zi's thoughts shifted, and he asked, "If we completely kill General Zhou, does that mean the destruction of this relic?"
The brother nodded and asked, "Isn't it written on your bracelet?"
