Chapter 129: Ghosts and Gods Blind Eyes 5 Ghosts and Gods Marry
By the time Zhuci came to his senses, the man had already lowered his head again, and the girl was staring at his face with concern: "Are you okay? Why are you crying again?"
"It's okay." He reached out and touched his cheek. It was really wet. Was he the only one who heard the sound just now, or was it...
A distorted cry suddenly came from behind, startling the unsuspecting players.
“Ahhh…Help! Ahhhh!”
…
"Look over there!"
Zhu Ci turned around and saw that the player who was bleeding before had turned into a human fountain.
Veins on Jianshuo's arms were protruding from the skin, as if they were about to explode at any time, and blood seemed to flow directly from his pores. He could scream at first, but later he couldn't, probably because the blood blocked his throat.
The man's teammates wanted to save him, but they didn't know how to do it. Instead, they were covered in blood. They could only step back and accept the man's gaze of fear, pain and resentment.
“Hehe…”
The strange sound mixed with the faint sound of melting flesh made the already quiet underground palace even quieter.
The players keenly noticed that the liquid on his body was red at first, but it became lighter later, and even the blood on the floor began to fade a little.
Under the gloomy gazes of a group of NPCs, a person melted away along with his bones, turning into a pool of water.
Such a weird scene is undoubtedly nauseating, but veteran players who have experienced multiple deaths may not be able to nauseate anymore. Zhu Ci turned around, trying to forget this scene, but he saw Que Nu's cold eyes. Her expression was a little strange, and he didn't know if it was numbness or something, but she was very calm.
Feeling Zhuci's gaze, she looked away slightly and explained, "I've seen a lot."
Congratulations: "Hmm..."
He took a deep breath. He was not used to seeing such a scene. How many games would it take for him to like blood and death? He could never get used to it.
…
"Speech, what did you just say?"
Qi Shiyu's voice came from behind.
Zhu Ci stood up, slowed down a bit, and said to Qi Shiyu: "It's nothing, I just told the man to go and look at the murals and not to do anything to these people."
"Then he just threw another one." Qi Shiyu said.
Qi Shiyu's mentality was obviously much better than his. I don't know if he had seen more disgusting scenes than this, or if he didn't care about the death of others, but he could still speak very easily and laugh.
As he said this, his eyes fell on Que Nu, with a bewildering smile on his face: "Hello, I didn't scare you just now."
Zhu Ci silently moved a position to give him room for development.
But the girl shook her head and lowered it.
"Looks like he's scared." Qi Shiyu said this and didn't ask any more questions, as if he came here just to care about an NPC.
The underground palace was filled with the stench of death, and the bloody smell increased the fear. In addition, the ventilation was poor, making it unsuitable for humans to stay there.
Zhu Ci pinched his nose. He had something to say to Qi Shiyu, so he couldn't stay here anymore.
The man probably wanted to throw another NPC to make the light brighter, but ended up triggering some kind of taboo.
I wonder if Qi Shiyu heard it, whether this taboo has something to do with the voice in his head.
"Oh, by the way, I wonder how to worship the ghosts and gods here? What kind of prey will satisfy the gods?" Qi Shiyu suddenly asked.
Zhu Ci glanced at him and said, "Oh?"
Hearing this tone, he suspected that Qi Shiyu saw that he was in a bad mood and was going to play a joke on him.
He smiled and said to Zhuci, "Do you think the ghosts and gods will like you like this?"
As expected, Zhu Ci fell silent and temporarily defined his behavior as madness: "Maybe he will like you like this."
"That's hard to say." Qi Shiyu's confidence still made it difficult to tell whether it was true or false.
…
Zhu Ci looked forward, and after a while, the bloodstains on the floor faded, but the stench in the air was still hard to dissipate.
"Wait, wait a moment."
A hesitant voice came from behind.
Zhuci turned his head.
But the girl stared at his back, as if she was worried about something. She took something out of her pocket and put it in his hand. She looked a little anxious.
"Be sure to take it. Thank you. Congratulations..."
Suddenly, he had a bad premonition. Zhu Ci heard a ringing in his ears and a huge white light appeared behind him. The woman's face was illuminated by the white light. The expression on her face gradually became blurred. Zhu Ci discovered something unusual.
The bloodstains on the ground were completely absorbed, the murals on the walls were no longer covered in the slightest, and the light was no longer hidden.
A piece of wood was put into Zhuci's hand.
The system's electronic sound began to sound.
[Congratulations to the players for opening the second stage of the dungeon, the marriage between ghosts and gods.
There is a mysterious custom in the ancient village. Young people of appropriate age must enter the underground palace and become sacrifices to ghosts and gods. Among the sacrifices, there will be some people who can satisfy the ghosts and gods. Only they can pass the test of ghosts and gods and get married.
Will powerful ghosts and gods become their support for the rest of their lives? 】
…
After the system spoke, the originally dark place became completely bright.
There are densely packed tablets, arranged layer by layer, but the one at the top is empty.
…
Zhu Ci looked down and found that the girl had disappeared, and all the NPCs around her also disappeared, leaving only the wood in his hand.
It was an empty tablet, although it was smaller, it was almost exactly the same as the one over there.
Qi Shiyu said: "It looks like a very powerful prop." As he spoke, he saw the cold sweat on Zhu Ci's forehead and the expression as if he was facing a powerful enemy.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhu Ci shook his head: "I may have seen it wrong." Was it an illusion? Why did he seem to see that expression on the little girl's face?
Zhu Ci raised his head and looked at the stone walls on both sides. The murals on the walls should be depicting the marriage of ghosts and gods.
"The person who sold you the information seems to want to kill you." Zhu Ci said.
Throwing NPCs into the darkness may result in the same fate as that man.
"For those who sell intelligence, it is impossible to confirm whether it is a human or a ghost." Qi Shiyu said, "However, the content of the intelligence has been confirmed by the system and cannot be falsified. So some of the things it says are correct."
Sacrifice, offer the blood of the player just now to open the next stage.
"As for □□. Haven't you already succeeded?" Qi Shiyu looked at Zhu Ci with a teasing look in his eyes.
Zhu Ci took a look at the wood in his hand and knew what he meant, but he did not admit that he was stupid, because he was just doing things according to his own ideas of passing the dungeon.
"Just do your job, don't talk nonsense," he said unhappily.
【“Ah, □□? Do you mean the anchor is crying?”
"To be honest, when the anchor cries, it's really erotic."
"Huh? So NPCs are really useful?"
"If you are not a broadcaster, you are not good-looking, and you can't cry so naturally, then don't even try."
"After taking a look at the big guy next to the anchor, I suddenly felt that I could do it too."
"How down-to-earth, the Dusk Guild."
"Ah, don't think our president likes to joke around. In fact, except for him, all the members of our guild are serious and reliable!"】
…
"How do we do this?"
Without the restriction of light, the players moved forward again.
"There are many names on it. It looks like you want to pick one to take away."
…
Ye Chao glanced at Qi Shiyu and raised his eyebrows: "You choose first?"
Qi Shiyu narrowed his eyes and smiled in an unfathomable way: "You really want me to choose first?"
His expression and tone were so confusing that the players went over the system's words in their minds and finally remembered the system's last sentence.
Powerful ghosts and gods, reliable helpers.
Zhou Yang looked towards the highest point of the card. Of course, the other players were also looking there.
The names on the highest tablets were glowing, and it looked like this ghost was something special.
Qi Shiyu looked at Zhu Ci and whispered, "It seems that the function of your prop is to pick the name of your favorite person at will?"
Zhuci thought so too. He thought quietly for a moment, then glanced at the murals around him.
Although it is true that it is a marriage between ghosts and gods, it cannot take up so much space on the wall.
The meaning of the other paintings is worth pondering.
The first one should be the blood sacrifice, which opens the stage of the marriage between ghosts and gods...
When Zhu Ci thought of this, something suddenly flashed through his mind. Wait, if their identities are the same as those of these NPCs, then shouldn't those NPCs be able to choose their tablets here just like them?
Even if some NPCs are not human, it doesn't mean that all of them are not human.
But what about the girl?
Zhu Ci suddenly thought of something, frowned, and felt a little cold behind his back.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Zhu Ci glanced at the wooden sign in his hand. There shouldn't be any problem with the prop and it should be usable.
He tried to look at other paintings, and then saw the scene after the marriage.
It's very abstract, and I don't know what the overlapping of the top and the bottom means, but after turning around, it returns to the picture of a person kneeling.
"'But Ban Qing seemed to have made a contract with someone, but that person died, so he came back...'"
Zhuci suddenly remembered what Que Nu said.
…
Although all the players were eyeing the highest tile, no one made the first move. They looked at each other and realized that as veteran players, they would have died long ago if they were not careful. Moreover, the sudden death of the player before was a lesson for them.
If you want to survive, you must be more careful.
"Why don't you try it? This is a rare opportunity." The female player who had lost her teammates before looked at Zhou Yang and the others.
Xue Ming sneered when he heard this: "Since this is a good opportunity, of course my sister should go first."
Ye Chao: "What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I can just pick the one behind."
"That one over there, it's called the blessing, right? Didn't you have a challenge with Joseph? This is a good opportunity to add points, why not give it a try?" The woman's companion suddenly mentioned the blessing.
Zhu Ci glanced at him and said nothing.
In the eyes of others, his look became arrogant. That person was also an old man. He had heard of Zhu Ci's name, but he only regarded him as a novice and naturally had some opinions about him.
"Why, what are you doing..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Shiyu suddenly stepped forward and said very naturally: "Since none of you are moving, then I will go first?"
Everyone watched him walk forward.
"Wait a minute!" the woman from before suddenly spoke.
Qi Shiyu paused, turned his head slowly, and looked at her leisurely: "Hmm?"
The woman showed hesitation in her expression, but she had been thinking about it from the beginning, and only acted impulsively when she saw Qi Shiyu's confident look.
"Have you thought about it, ma'am?" Qi Shiyu urged a little.
"The sacrificed people are from our team. In that case, we certainly have the right to make the first choice," said the woman.
She is also an old veteran who has experienced many battles. Of course, making the first choice will involve risks, but risks also mean opportunities. What's more, she has accumulated a lot of props from so many copies.
Seeing the ambition in her eyes, Zhu Ci couldn't help but look at Qi Shiyu a little more. This person really knows how to add fuel to the fire.
Qi Shiyu glanced at Zhu Ci's face, and then said to the woman with a very gentlemanly smile: "Of course, you are the first one, there should be no objection."
Watching the woman walking forward step by step, Zhu Ci sighed. He knew that this person probably didn't understand the rules of this level, and if she went forward rashly, she would probably be doomed.
