Chapter 361: The Terrifying Livestream Room (16)
Chen Lin came over when she heard the noise, and Qi Qiaoqiao told her what had just happened. Chen Lin looked at Wen Wan in surprise, "Why do you look exactly like Xiao Huan? One person might lie, but two people might be telling the truth."
Wen Yan: "..."
How did you start to doubt her?
"I am Chen Yao, a player, and I even have fans here. How could I possibly be Xiao Huan?"
Chen Lin: "That's true, but your looks can be used by us."
"You mean you want me to use Xiaohuan's identity to send messages?"
Chen Lin nodded.
Wen Wan did not object to the suggestion, as it was indeed the best entry point to unravel the mystery of the sacrificial ceremony.
Then Chen Lin started looking for props, and what those props were were naturally the wedding dress.
After all, Xiao Huan was married to the River God, and she was wearing a bright red wedding dress. A fresh life disappeared at the most beautiful time.
After returning home that evening, everyone began to organize the information they had gathered. Wen Wan discovered that these players seemed much more naive than the ones she had encountered last time. Although she wasn't sure how long this naivety would last, the trend was positive.
And all of this is thanks to Chen Zijie as the leader.
The newcomers also lowered their guard and began to take the tasks seriously.
When everyone learned about Xiao Huan's situation, they were all surprised. They didn't think that Chen Yao and Xiao Huan were the same person. After all, although they were different from Qi Qiaoqiao and weren't fans of Chen Yao, Chen Yao's face appeared on various social media platforms every day, so they were familiar with her.
This can only be described as a coincidence.
Otherwise, there is no other choice.
When Chen Lin suggested that Wen Wan pretend to be Xiao Huan, the newlyweds all agreed, but Chen Zijie, on the contrary, became much more cautious.
"This is risky."
"First of all, I must say something: no one knows whether the river god actually exists or not. After all, everything here cannot be understood using the knowledge of the real world."
"Secondly, how do we ensure Chen Yao's safety? And if we're going to dress up as a ghost to scare people, it's best to do it at night. How do we escape the monster NPC's pursuit and then successfully extract the clues we need?"
"Finally, what I want to say is that the villagers here... won't die. Even if you kill them, you'll find the next day that everything is as if nothing happened. They are NPCs, so how can you guarantee that you won't be killed by NPCs?"
Everyone: "..."
Silence, only silence.
These issues are undeniably very real.
Chen Lin: "But this is our chance. In this terrifying world, if we don't dare to do anything, we'll be trapped here forever. We either live or die, that's all we have. If you're scared, stay in your room and sleep. Xue Lin, Chen Yao, and I will participate in this event together. We'll just be clues, and we might get the majority of the points."
Qi Qiaoqiao: "I'm going too!"
Qi quietly raised his hand, "Although this is my first time, I want to protect my goddess. Besides, I'm very lucky; maybe it's just a false alarm?"
Wen Wan: "If you were lucky, you wouldn't have been selected."
Qi Qingqing: "..."
Why would the goddess be so hurtful to her?
Afterwards, everyone voted, and apart from Chen Lin and her husband, and Qi Qiaoqiao, no one else agreed to go out at night.
So the matter was settled. Neither side was willing to convince the other. Chen Lin bought a wedding dress and then asked Wen Wan to get ready first.
Furthermore, to make it realistic, Wen Wan was given a dead person's makeup.
Her lips were incredibly red, and her skin was incredibly white.
...
night.
There were two men guarding the dock at night.
Wen Wan jumped into the river, then approached the two people and climbed out of the water.
"Ah—" Two screams rang out, and then the two people ran away.
Wen Wan quickly went to the villagers' homes, especially the elderly who had participated in the Xiao Huan sacrificial ceremony years ago.
That night, the whole village was in turmoil, filled with screams.
The monster didn't appear, and they even made it past the monster's lair, but they did learn more about Xiao Huan.
After Xiao Huan died, strange things would happen every year during the memorial service.
That's why everyone is even more afraid of Xiao Huan.
After scaring everyone, Wen Wan went back into the river and jumped in.
This was Chen Lin's plan. The acting had to be realistic, since Chen Yao's identity was that of a tourist, and the villagers couldn't think that the tourist was lying.
Wen Wan also used the water-repelling bead that Chen Lin obtained in exchange for props, which allowed her to breathe and talk underwater like a normal person without drowning.
After Wen Wan jumped into the water, the villagers all gathered around to watch, and then left in fear.
Wen Wan was about to climb out when an accident occurred.
The water suddenly turned unusually cold. Wen Wan turned around and saw a beautiful girl in a red wedding dress. The key point was that this girl seemed to be Xiao Huan from back then.
Wen Wan was so frightened that she almost choked on the water. She turned and ran, but the girl in the red wedding dress grabbed her leg.
"System, help me!!!"
System: [She can't beat you.]
Wen Yan: "..."
It's so hard for her.
Then I tried to communicate with the other party, and it was obvious that the other party was able to communicate, and then they pointed down with their finger.
You mean there's something down there?
Xiao Huan nodded.
So she swam towards the bottom of the river, and Wen Wan followed her. After swimming for about half an hour, Wen Wan saw a skeleton.
These are clearly Xiao Huan's remains. "You want me to take them away from here?"
Xiao Huan nodded.
Wen Wan then took off her coat, picked up the remains, and put them inside her coat while holding them.
Then I saw a huge red coffin.
"What's this?"
Wen Wan approached the coffin, but Xiao Huan stopped her, asking, "Is there danger?"
Xiao Huan nodded.
Wen Wan turned and left. Of course, the NPC Xiao Huan said there was danger, so it must be extremely dangerous.
Why would I stay for the New Year if I didn't run away myself?
Wen Wan could see the water's surface and even hear Chen Lin and Qi Qiao's shouts. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a huge tremor, and then she was pulled back to the bottom of the river.
Wen Yan: "!!!"
Holy crap, can I really be this unlucky?
Could it be that her terrible constitution has once again awakened the suspected big boss inside the coffin?
Your mom is being way too outrageous.
Wen Wan flew straight toward the coffin, and Xiao Huan tried to pull her back, but was eventually pushed away, leaving her helpless.
Wen Wan slammed into the coffin, cutting a deep gash in her palm, and then her blood stained the coffin.
Wen Wan: I'm numb.
The plot from the TV series and novel is about to unfold, but she's just cannon fodder! How could the storyline that belongs to the female lead at noon end up happening to her?
Wen Wan quickly scrambled away, but tripped and fell.
Then she turned around and kept running, and this time she actually managed to run away, which surprised Wen Wan.
Turning around and looking at the riverbed in the distance, Wen Wan swam ashore without any hesitation, and was then pulled up by Chen Lin and Qi Qiaoqiao on the bank.
