Chapter 153
Ping Chu walked forward with the help of a stick. He survived the whole night and narrowly avoided catching a cold.
All he could say was that the official uniforms were enough to keep him warm, and he wasn't unlucky enough to be caught in there wearing his summer uniform. However, he was completely exhausted, and he hadn't eaten anything, so he could only support himself with a stick.
Just as he followed the mark to the place where he fell off the mountain, a shadow suddenly appeared above his head.
When he looked up, Ping Chu was surprised to see a little old man falling from above.
What the hell? Village chief?
What happened? Was he thrown down by Shen Yunzhe?
The village chief rolled on the ground twice and was finally stopped by a tree. Ping Chu was watching from a distance with a stick. He raised his head and saw He Yufeng standing anxiously on the side of the mountain. He carefully checked for a long time. Yes, there was only He Yufeng, not Shen Yunzhe.
Huh? Did He Yufeng throw him down?
At this moment, the village chief suddenly twitched, which scared Pingchu who was about to call for help. He threw away his stick and hid behind a big tree.
"Who are you?! Who on earth are you?" the village chief began to roar in his old voice, "Why on earth did you do this?"
"You broke the rules." The village chief replied in the same voice.
Ping Chu suddenly realized: Yes, the village chief broke the rules.
The village rules are written on the door of the village chief's house. It says that villagers cannot leave the village. The village chief is also a villager. He is not superior to others just because he is the village chief. Therefore, the rules also apply to him. Now that the village chief is here, it is obviously like leaving the village, which is a violation!
Yes, that’s how it should be!
Villagers cannot leave the village, so throwing villagers down is useless. The only way is to throw the village chief down.
The village chief's expression was distorted and ugly. "No one saw me break the rules!"
"I saw it!" He Yufeng on the mountain suddenly said, "I saw the village chief violate the rules."
The village chief gave him a terrifying look, as if to say that if he was killed, no one would know. Ping Chu hurried out, holding onto the tree trunk, and said, "I saw it too!"
"The village chief violated the rules. I only came down the mountain because I thought I could leave the village after seeing him violate the rules!"
Ping Chu immediately turned black into white, "I thought the village chief agreed that everyone could leave the village, otherwise why would he come down the mountain!"
"Ah!!" the village chief let out a sharp cry.
But at the same time, the same voice coming out of the village chief's mouth gave people a completely different feeling.
If the village chief's voice was filled with coldness and weirdness, then this voice was more stable, with a hint of subtle mischief. He seemed to be laughing, or as if he had discovered something interesting.
"He Yufeng, how about going back and checking the village rules?"
He Yufeng was stunned for a moment, and he whispered, "Chen...?"
"Ping Chu, go back with He Yufeng!"
Ping Chu was also stunned. He pointed at himself, and then quickly ran to the mountain pass under the gaze of the village chief. He was pulled up the mountain by He Yufeng. The two quickly returned to look at the rules and watched them leave. Ten minutes later, Shen Yunzhe climbed up the mountain leisurely.
His ears were filled with Yuehong's angry roar.
"Forget it." Shen Yunzhe stood at the edge of the cemetery. As an old man, he was still a little out of breath. "Believe it or not, I will take you to die with me."
"Damn thief! Bastard!"
The village chief exuded a strong and strange aura, and Shen Yunzhe clearly felt that Yuehong was fighting with the village chief for his body.
Shen Yunzhe returned to the village. He Yufeng and Ping Chu were standing at the village chief's door. They turned around immediately when they saw the village chief coming back. On the board where the rules were written, the fourth rule, "Villagers cannot leave the village," had disappeared. Yuehong let out a miserable scream.
"Let's go." Shen Yunzhe said, "Go to Xiaoqing right now."
He Yufeng and Ping Chu wanted to ask what was going on, but the situation was obviously not right. They suppressed their doubts, turned around and ran towards Xiaoqing.
The aura of the strange creature continued to erode the surroundings, and the rules text on the board were changing. Shen Yunzhe had been waiting until Yuehong was about to completely devour the village chief, then he quickly changed the substitution object and instantly turned back into Yaya beside Xiaoqing.
"Ah!!" The village chief let out a shrill cry, and in an instant, he turned from an old man into a young woman.
The woman had a bloody wound on her face.
She didn't know who these villagers were, nor did she know who took the position of village chief. She only knew that at the last moment that person said Xiaoqing's name.
The words on the board changed several times before finally settling on "Kill Xiaoqing".
Rule Four: Kill Xiaoqing!
Ping Chu and He Yufeng ran to Xiaoqing's door. Xiaoqing was sitting in the house, but a little girl was squatting at the door.
Hearing the footsteps, the little girl suddenly raised her head. Her face was pale and her eyes were black. Her whole body was wet. She looked at the two people coming over with an expressionless face.
Ping Chu was so scared that he almost fell down.
"Fuck! Yaya!"
Ping Chu grabbed He Yufeng's wrist and asked, "Where's Shen Yunzhe?"
"Isn't he on the village chief?" He Yufeng said, "It's okay. Yaya won't kill us so quickly. We are Xiaoqing's commissioned objects this time. Even if we die, we will die last!"
"But what is Shen Yunzhe asking us to do here?"
"I don't know." He Yufeng was also confused. "I heard Shen Yunzhe talking about using Yaya's identity to kill the village chief. I refused, saying it was too dangerous. He said he wouldn't put himself in danger. Who knew that the next moment he was gone, Yaya turned back into Yaya, and the village chief suddenly jumped off the mountain."
"He suddenly replaced the village chief!"
Ping Chu listened to He Yufeng's words in confusion. Before he could react, Yaya suddenly stood up.
Her wet body was growing, and in just an instant she grew to the height of an adult, followed by her clothes and facial features. In the horrified eyes of the two people, Yaya turned into Shen Yunzhe in a few seconds. Shen Yunzhe didn't care about their surprise, turned around and grabbed Xiaoqing's hand.
"Mom, let's go down the mountain." Shen Yunzhe said.
Xiaoqing looked at Shen Yunzhe blankly, "Yaya, what are you talking about?"
"I'm not afraid anymore. I can go with Mom." Shen Yunzhe took her hand and walked out of the room. "Look, Mom, I won't die so fragilely anymore. As long as you're alive, I'll live forever."
"Yaya." Xiaoqing's eyes were blurred with tears. She held Shen Yunzhe's hand tightly. "Mom was wrong. Mom is so incompetent."
"Let's go." Shen Yunzhe pulled Xiaoqing forward, "Let's go the way you've always wanted to go. Accompany me back to your home, and let's leave here together."
Xiaoqing couldn't stop crying. She nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay."
"Mom, take Yaya home."
Just like that, Ping Chu and He Yufeng looked at Shen Yunzhe in confusion and then pulled Xiaoqing away the moment he came back. The route they ran was exactly where Ping Chu came back from, which was the cemetery and the way down the mountain that Xiaoqing told them.
The two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"What should we do now?" Ping Chu asked.
"Of course we're going together!" He Yufeng quickly followed, "Let's go down the mountain together!"
"Shit, Shen Yunzhe just threw the village chief off the mountain! If he stays in this village, he'll be buried alive!"
Ping Chu cried out, "I can't run anymore!"
After climbing the mountain for a whole day and being nearly beaten to death, I finally managed to escape and stayed in the mountains for a night, but now I have to climb the mountain again.
worn out!
On the way down the mountain, He Yufeng saw dense red ribbons as he walked. He held onto a tree trunk and asked, "Pingchu, is this road safe?"
"It's safe!" Pingchu said, "This route is real. We can leave the village."
"But leaving the village doesn't mean leaving the playground. The area below is an extension of the playground, and because I couldn't complete Xiaoqing's request, I attracted Xiaoqing's revenge!" Ping Chu answered breathlessly.
He Yufeng supported him, "But it's different now."
He looked at Shen Yunzhe who was holding Xiaoqing's hand in front of him.
"Yeah, it's different now."
They looked at each other.
All the people who came here before took on the identities of villagers, and no one took on the identity of Yaya. Moreover, they were all players, and they were very secretive about the strange things. They would not deliberately approach Xiaoqing, let alone take Xiaoqing down the mountain with them.
But Shen Yunzhe did it.
Using his unique gaming style and Yaya's identity, he threw the village chief down the mountain, broke the village rules, and immediately took Xiaoqing down the mountain and left.
This way, Xiaoqing's revenge will not be provoked and Xiaoqing's wish will be fulfilled perfectly.
All I can say is that he is truly worthy of being Shen Wei's child, bold and careful, and extremely sensitive to the playground.
Xiaoqing was still too weak and needed to rest after walking for a while. Pingchu was also exhausted. Shen Yunzhe and He Yufeng were on guard outside.
"We walked very fast, so the strange creatures shouldn't have noticed us running away so quickly." He Yufeng said, "But how did you suddenly become the village chief?"
"A secret." Shen Yunzhe answered nonchalantly, "A surprise?"
"This is such a surprise," He Yufeng murmured. "The village chief's line is rarely explored because our predecessors left a message that the village chief is a strange creature. If you face him alone or if the conversation goes wrong, he will be killed. The danger is too high and we've never dealt with it yet."
"Until you told me that there was a Yuehong in the village chief's body."
When the strange creature is in the body of the village chief, the officials certainly dare not provoke the village chief. Xiaoqing has a strange creature named Yaya by her side, but Yaya is a derivative of Xiaoqing. At most, she will kill one villager a day, and this villager may not be anyone. But the village chief is different. He can kill whoever he wants.
It was too dangerous and too much of a dead end, so they couldn't do what Shen Yunzhe was doing.
Who can break the village rules by forcing the village chief to jump off the mountain like Shen Yunzhe did!
The mountain road was difficult to walk on. The last time Ping Chu came here, he relied on the red cloth strips on the trees to find the way. This time was the same, but this time it was He Yufeng who looked at the red cloth strips. As he walked, he wrote down all the route maps on the red cloth strips, including the wrong ones.
After most of the day, they followed the route to the place where Pingchu first arrived, a danger sign made up of three red strips of cloth.
They ignored the sign and continued down, soon coming across a second danger sign.
Maybe more than one person will go down, and more than one person will end up being Xiaoqing's revenge, so before they die, they all return to mark the path above, making sure to prevent later people from going down.
They ignored them all. Xiaoqing couldn't walk anymore, so He Yufeng went over and carried her on his back. Pingchu limped along with a stick, thinking he must have blisters on the soles of his feet. In this way, they hurried and finally got down the mountain. The scenery at the foot of the mountain was different from that on the mountain, and the difference was obvious, but it was obvious that the houses at the foot of the mountain were more solid and better looking than those on the mountain.
"We're coming down!" Pingchu shouted, "We're at the foot of the mountain!"
"What should we do now?"
"If this is the same as in real life, we should call the police," He Yufeng said. "But who knows what things were like 20 years ago. There probably isn't a police station here. We need to keep going."
Ping Chu sighed and staggered to follow.
At this time, there were people in the village at the foot of the mountain. Pingchu's social skills were fully demonstrated. He quickly talked to several villagers and got the location of the police station.
I don't know why there is a police station here, but the scope of this playground is really too large.
Xiaoqing still remembers where her home is and her name. As long as she is sent to the police station, she can really go home.
At this moment, Xiaoqing raised her head and looked at the unfamiliar scenery. She said, "Put me down."
He Yufeng immediately put the person down. He didn't dare to say anything. Xiaoqing was still a strange creature after all.
"I've been waiting, waiting for someone who can help me." Xiaoqing walked over and gently stroked Shen Yunzhe's face. "I was so resentful. I waited and waited, but no one was willing to help me until I died. Yaya, my Yaya, I didn't expect that in the end it would be you who saved your mother."
"I'm an unfit mother. In the end, I needed my daughter to save me. You were so young."
Shen Yunzhe looked at her and finally shook his head, "Because your Yaya likes you and doesn't want you to be so sad."
"Thank you, Yaya." Xiaoqing burst into tears, "I will come back."
"When the time comes, I will definitely... take my Yaya with me."
Xiaoqing always knew that Yaya was dead, drowned in the spring by her hateful father Erniu. Her poor daughter was thrown outside the door in winter and frozen stiff by the cold wind. She kept her eyes open, as if asking her mother why she didn't come to save her.
Xiaoqing always knew that the person appearing before her eyes was not Yaya, but her fantasy, because she was an educated college student, but she no longer cared, she longed for Yaya.
Until now she understood, she had to accept the fact that Yaya was dead. She had always wanted to escape, but she would come back. This time, she would bring a lot of people to take Yaya's body away, and as she said, go to see the sea, the tall buildings and those prosperous things with her daughter.
Never let her get cold again.
Shen Yunzhe saw Xiaoqing's figure gradually disappearing, and the system also prompted him to leave the Yaya identity.
"Does this count as crossing the Xiaoqing line?" Ping Chu asked, "But we haven't left the playground yet."
"This only means that the plot isn't over yet." He Yufeng looked at the mountain behind him. "The village chief's plot has just begun."
"Speaking of which, I have a new clue." Ping Chu took out a piece of paper from his arms, "I found it on a skeleton in the place where I spent the night."
He Yufeng took the paper and handed it to Shen Yunzhe after reading it. Everything else was similar to what he imagined, except that he frowned slightly when he saw the punishment room.
"Punishment room?"
He Yufeng found the sketches he had drawn. He had already drawn thumbnails of the mountain village before. Now he took out these pictures and compared them bit by bit. Sure enough, he found that the location of the punishment house was empty in the real mountain village.
The Punishment House is a house that appears out of thin air.
"Yeah, I was shocked when I saw it, too," Ping Chu said. "No matter how hard I thought about it, I realized there's no such punishment house in the real mountain village. You know, we've been tracking and surveying the mountain village for two or three years, so we're already familiar with what it looks like."
"But until this reminder, I didn't realize this problem. We all ignored it."
"The influence of the mountain village on us." He Yufeng closed the notebook. "The village chief's line may also be related to this punishment house."
"What should we do now?" Ping Chu was almost unsteady on his feet. "Go back to the village? Now that the village rules have been broken, we shouldn't be beaten to death if we go back."
He Yufeng sighed when he saw him like this, "Do you still have the strength to go up the mountain?"
"I might die suddenly." Ping Chu said in despair: "I'm so tired, my legs are going to be useless!"
Shen Yunzhe thought for a moment and said, "You guys wait here, don't go up the mountain."
"I'll go up and take a look."
"Ah?" Ping Chu looked at Shen Yunzhe in surprise. "It's going to be midnight when you go up there. It's too dangerous at night."
"It's okay." Shen Yunzhe smiled at him, "I have a way."
Before Ping Chu could ask what the method was, Shen Yunzhe's figure suddenly disappeared into the air. Ping Chu was stunned for a moment, and He Yufeng was also a little surprised. They looked at each other, then slowly looked away.
"Should we pretend not to see it?" Ping Chu asked He Yufeng.
He Yufeng thought for a moment, "He has many secrets, and this one is no exception. He said he went to the mountain village for Shen Wei, but so far we haven't found any trace of Shen Wei."
"Maybe in that punishment room."
"Maybe?" He Yufeng said, "If we really can leave alive, the authorities will ask for all the details. We can't escape. But to be honest, we don't know how Shen Yunzhe did it. When the time comes, we can just say we don't know. It won't be considered a lie."
Ping Chu nodded, "That's the only way."
On the other side, Shen Yunzhe instantly took on a new identity: Yuehong.
Yes, he caught the strange creature and pulled it out.
I have to say that the identity of the strange creature is really useful. After you get into it, you have a lot more freedom. As long as you don’t break the settings, you can do whatever you want.
He looked ahead with satisfaction. The villagers gathered at Xiaoqing's door with farm tools, but there was no one inside. Shen Yunzhe took a look and turned back to the village chief's door to look at the rules. He found that the rule at the door had become "Kill Xiaoqing". Unfortunately, Xiaoqing had already left, so this rule was useless.
Because they failed to achieve the goal, the villagers circled around Xiaoqing's door like headless flies. Shen Yunzhe didn't even look at them, turned around and walked around them to the punishment room.
The punishment room was wide open. Shen Yunzhe pushed the door open with a creak. The decoration in the punishment room was almost the same as when they came.
The inside looks exactly like an official outpost.
Shen Yunzhe stepped in tentatively. The moment he stepped in, Shen Yunzhe opened his eyes slightly, and he seemed to see nothing different.
It was not an official outpost, nor was it an ordinary punishment house, but a pitch-black space where nothing could be seen.
What is this place?
[The connection point between the mountain village and the core game field.] The person who answered was the system, [which is the deep part of the mountain village you are looking for.]
【Just keep moving forward and you will see what you want to see. 】
