Zhuge Chi



Zhuge Chi

The corpse from long ago was wearing the same clothes as the "person" they had seen before, which directly proved that what Lan Qing and the others had encountered was a ghost.

This segment has already been broadcast, and Shang Jingyan also talked about it in an interview during the day.

"... In Nüba, everyone had some expectations about 'she is a ghost', but the way to achieve a more terrifying effect is actually to 'take the person by surprise'."

"For example, the protagonist and his companions met someone who looked normal during their adventure, and they had a pleasant conversation. But one day, a long time after leaving here, they suddenly saw a portrait in the funeral home. The person in the portrait looked exactly like the 'old friend' they met by chance many years ago, and the date showed that she had died long before that -"

"In this way, the effect of being extremely terrifying when thinking carefully and having a long aftertaste can be achieved. The same technique is often used in ancient books. A scholar sleeps in the wilderness at night and sees a magnificent mansion with a bustling crowd. He is treated to a banquet for the night, but when he wakes up in the daytime, he finds that he is lying on broken bricks and tiles and eating moldy and hairy soil and stones."

The comments kept saying "Thank you, I was scared just by saying that." The audience when the series was broadcast was no less enthusiastic, contributing a large number of screams.

There was also a small notebook and a pen in the pocket of the skeletal female corpse, but for some reason they were not taken away by the villagers.

Lan Qing took it down and found the three characters "Zhuge Chi" engraved on the pen. The characters were not clear after being repeatedly rubbed.

The small notebook contains a lot of information about science and engineering, indicating that she was a college student during her lifetime.

——Afterwards, a viewer did some research in the forum, and based on the style of the dress, it was found that when the deceased was alive, it was not easy for ordinary people to read and write.

She had such outstanding knowledge that she could be called a "pillar of society" and should have had a bright future, but in the end she was left dead here.

Just then, Lan Qing heard a rhythmic knocking sound coming from outside, causing the man on guard to curse.

The audience reacted earlier than Lan Qing who had lost his memory: this was the secret code agreed upon by Lan Qing’s team of three!

The knocking sounds became louder and louder, and the man seemed to be led away. A moment later, there was a loud bang, and Lan Qing's cell door was opened.

The one who pried open the door lock was Dr. Liang!

The moment he saw her, Lan Qing's body shook, he covered his head, and finally remembered everything.

Dr. Liang hurriedly recounted the events. She and General Hua came to this world earlier than Lan Qing. General Hua arrived first. As an ancient person with a worse living environment, she was the first to see through the weirdness of this village. She took advantage of the situation and found out where people were imprisoned in the village.

Dr. Liang is the second one. She is from the future and does not realize the danger. She falls into the trap easily. Fortunately, she is rescued by General Hua. After the two meet, their memories are restored.

Not only did they rescue the women who had been imprisoned in the dungeon, they also made contact with "Nüba" -

The souls of the women who died in this village are still full of resentment and have been wandering in the mountains and forests, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against the villagers and try to rescue the women who came later.

However, they were limited by the "River God" in the village, and their power was too weak to carry out a large-scale rescue. It was not until Hua Liang and the other two appeared that they made up for this shortcoming by working together.

The reason why the villagers were so anxious to sacrifice Lan Qing and the other two was because the original offerings to the "River God" had already run away. The three shells represented a mark made in advance at the River God.

——So far, a very strange situation has formed in this copy: the trial-taker cooperates with one side of the ghosts and gods to fight against the other side of the ghosts and gods.

This is something that even Hua Feitian has not researched. After all, for interstellar people, "religious belief" is a blind spot in knowledge, not to mention sacrificing innocent lives for such ignorant religious beliefs.

After the show was broadcast, Hua Feitian updated the relevant information about the "tradition" of the River God's Bride in the building.

——Throwing young girls into the river as sacrifices to the river god, praying for the river god's protection. There are also sacrifices of young boys and girls, causing innocent children to drown in the water.

The specific offerings depend on the content of the request.

Sacrifice and trafficking are essentially the same kind of ignorant and backward mentality. Similar brutality and bloodshed are gathered in the same village in this copy, becoming the backdrop for Chinese-style horror.

General Hua was responsible for leading the man away, Dr. Liang took Lan Qing to transfer, and Lan's mother and sister were also rescued. The depressing plot finally showed signs of lightening up.

They shuttled through the dark underground passages, and every cellar and prison along the way might have once held a woman.

The cell where Lan Qing was imprisoned was much older than other cells, and was covered with a thick layer of dust. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. The villagers did not take Zhuge Chi's pen, obviously not out of kindness, but because her resentment was too strong and they did not dare to approach her.

The reason why Lan Qing woke up there was because she had paper money given by Zhuge Chi in her pocket and she was blessed by him.

The three of them reunited and fled, but were discovered by the men. The river god was also enraged, and a chase ensued. Muddy tentacle monsters emerged from the water on both sides of the stone path, and pairs of bright red eyes flashed in the dim light.

The only lighting tool they had throughout the whole process was a flashlight, which illuminated a small area in front of them. The audience felt a strong sense of oppression, as if they were being immersively chased.

[Ahhh, I’m about to be hit. This tentacle is so disgusting!!]

[I was so scared. Did a ghost face flash by in the darkness just now? My adrenaline surged 555]

After finally lifting the stone slab and climbing onto the ground, Lan Qing discovered that the exit at the end connected to the ancestral hall in the village.

The ancestral hall was right behind the river god temple, and inside it was a huge river god statue, with a pair of fish eyes drooping as if looking directly at them, and wooden tablets were placed around it. There were no female names on the tablets, only male names, as if to show that half of the population behind them had been swallowed up silently.

General Hua kicked open the wooden door of the ancestral hall. Before the audience could let go of their worries, something strange happened again.

The stone slab was suddenly pushed open by a huge force, spraying out mud. And in the mud, a huge figure gradually emerged.

His appearance is strange and twisted, with the upper body of a fish and the lower body of a male, which has obvious characteristics of fertility worship.

The most bizarre thing is that each of its scales has a fish mouth with sharp fangs arranged in a spiral. Countless mouths open and close, all craving for the flesh and blood of women.

Even the audience who had seen the monsters in the world of "Forest Singer" before were stunned by his appearance.

[What is this? It’s so disgusting! In Director Shang’s world, no god looks so good that people can rest assured QAQ]

[The spirit "god" in the previous world has no symbolic meaning, but the river god in this world does. What is frightening is not his appearance, but his symbolic meaning as a collection of human dark desires...]

The monster's sound waves stung their eardrums, and Lan Qing and the other two had to cover their ears.

When the monster was fully revealed, everyone could see that it was holding an iron chain in its hand, but they didn't know what it was tied to.

A bloody wind blew from behind, and General Hua turned around suddenly, only to find that it was a female-shaped monster.

It is the opposite of the river god, with a human body and a fish tail. It is too thin, but has a plump chest, and its breasts are overlapped like those of an animal. The fish tail is tied with an iron chain and is pulled in the hand of the river god.

General Hua killed it with one strike, which shows that its attack power is not strong. But in the subsequent battles, the three people realized that it was troublesome. It would act as the eyes and hands of the river god, guiding him and reporting to him, just like the ghosts in the legend who act as accomplices to the tiger.

The three of them fought as they headed into the forest. Zhuge Chi's figure in fluttering red clothes appeared on a distant hill. No matter how many hills they climbed over, she stood there, her long hair covering her face, making it impossible to tell which side was front and which was back.

[Originally this scene would have made people feel eerie, but after watching it, I actually felt inexplicably at ease...]

[A ghost supporting character who only appeared in a few clips, but I actually fell in love with her... Her life was too miserable. I beg Director Shang to give her a good ending. It would be best if she could appear in "Shan Hai Tu Ben" QAQ I will spend a lot of money! ]

The monster was chasing after the three people the whole time. It also had its own group attack capabilities. After all its minions were killed and it itself was badly wounded, it entered a stage of rampage with low health.

Lan Qing and the other two were already covered in wounds, not to mention they had to protect the ordinary people of the Lan family, the mother and daughter. Just as they were about to lose control, the River God suddenly stopped.

There was an eerie silence in private, and in the silence, the sound of a baby crying was heard.

The last episode ended here, leaving the audience feeling extremely nervous, fearing that the show had fallen into a wolf's den before escaping the tiger's mouth.

However, someone who doesn't like sugar in the forum was the first to express a different opinion, and the opening of this episode also proved her idea.

——Those babies are not here to harm the protagonists. They are all baby girls who were killed in the village.

The ground was full of ghost babies crawling out of the woods and biting the river god!

This episode is the last episode of "Mountain Village Girl" and the finale of "Infinite Heartbeat". With the popularity of Shang Jingyan today, its broadcast data has set the highest value in the history of Xingli, which has never been seen before and will probably never be seen again.

Shang Jingyan lived up to everyone's expectations and started with such a thrilling scene of ghosts killing each other, which made people feel frightened and mixed emotions.

[I totally don't understand! The ratio is already unbalanced, why do people still want more of one gender? ]

[For people who were in that environment before the Star Calendar, it might be logically self-consistent. But it is this kind of "self-consistency" that is terrifying to us...]

The high and low screams and roars of ghosts and gods were like a strange piece of music. White mist rose in all directions, and the ethereal sound of ancient bronze bells could be heard from the mist.

"This is... the place where Grandma Lan was buried!" Lan Qing finally recognized where this place was. In the dark blue mist, an old figure slowly walked out.

Compared with the river god, his appearance is not that strange, he just looks exceptionally tall.

“She” had the face of Grandma Lan, but it looked more like a drawing on paper, stiff and white. The comments were filled with exclamations of “The dead are alive!” and “What, Grandma Lan is also a ghost?”

He was hunched over, wrapped in a black robe adorned with silver ornaments, with many babies crawling on his body, and his robe trailed a trail of fire behind him. Wherever he passed, the grass and trees were burned and the soil turned into red ground.

No explanation is needed, everyone recognized his true identity - Nüba!

Zhuge Chi poked his head out from behind Nüba, just like a little girl leaning against her mother.

Dr. Liang had been operating his optical computer, trying to reversely break through the system. At this time, he raised his head solemnly: "The will of the system has strengthened."

On the other side, Lan Heyue.

Two moons were hanging high outside the window, and Shang Jingyan was sitting on the sofa. This was the first time in her two lives that she had filmed a TV series, and it was such a long one, so she couldn't help but take it seriously.

Pei Yi sat beside her, waiting for the ending of Infinite Heartbeat with her. In addition, there was X71, who was watching more seriously than the other two.

The peaceful atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by a prompt sound. Shang Jingyan raised his eyebrows and lowered his head, only to see a pop-up window appear on his light computer interface without a cross mark.

Pei Yi frowned: "Junk message?"

X71 came back to his senses and was shocked: [What! This rubbish pop-up window actually bypassed my firewall? ]

"...I guess this is not spam." Shang Jingyan touched his chin and said calmly.

She clicked directly in, and the icon of the virtual envelope on the interface opened, revealing a piece of letter paper, which made her mutter "How fancy".

There were two lines of words written on the letter paper:

【Hello, Pan.】

[I am the leader of the True Object Group, and I want to talk to you.]

Day 2 of the daily update was successful (fist).
