After listening to Lame Li's advice, Chi Mu frowned.
Because of the existence of Rule 6, he had to burn paper money for the "Land God" at noon today.
This is also about following the rules.
But now, Cripple Li's words made Chi Mu hesitate.
I don't have any clues about the murderer now. If I don't keep a close eye on those unclean things, it will only increase my level of danger in the village.
Chi Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Uncle Cripple, I know about this. Please give me the paper money and I will think about it when I get back."
"Alas, since you insist on burning it, I won't try to persuade you anymore...By the way, where is your father? I didn't see him this morning."
"He went to another village to buy game and won't be back until tomorrow. What, do you want to talk to him about something?"
Lame Li's expression changed slightly and he waved his hand to indicate that he was just asking.
Seeing that it was almost time, Chi Mu planned to leave.
At this time, another man's voice came from the house.
"Dad, it's already so late and you haven't cooked yet. Tiezhu is hungry..."
Following the voice, Chi Mu saw a sturdy young man walking out of the house.
He tilted his neck and drooled at the corner of his mouth, and the words "very smart" were almost written on his face.
Chi Mu knew that this person was Li Tiezhu, also known as Shazhu by the villagers.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you do all day is eat. You can't do anything else! How could I, Lame Li, give birth to a useless thing like you!"
When Lame Li saw his son, an impatient expression appeared on his face again.
He sighed and limped towards the kitchen.
Li Tiezhu saw Chi Mu and tilted his neck to smile at him: "Mu, Brother Mu, are you here to see my dad?"
Chi Mu laughed and nodded: "Well, I'll give you some money to buy some paper money... By the way, you can give this money to your father later. I have something to do and I'm leaving now."
Chi Mu hurriedly left Li Tiezhu's house with paper money.
Although Li Tiezhu is a character that appears in the rules, his importance cannot be underestimated.
But looking at him now, he is obviously crazy and there is no way to gain anything by communicating with him.
After leaving Li Tiezhu's house, Chi Mu walked towards the back mountain. According to the memory given by the ghost stories, the land god's small stove was at the foot of the mountain.
Before twelve o'clock, Chi Mu found the small stove of the land god.
He took out paper money from the bag, squatted on the ground, lit the paper money, and started burning it.
After a while, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. The sky suddenly became gloomy, and then heavy rain fell without any warning.
"Fuck, this is God forgetting me!"
Chi Mu cursed inwardly, and while the rain had not yet wet the paper money, he increased the speed of burning the paper money.
Not long after, Chi Mu finally finished burning the paper money before it was completely soaked, but his body was also soaked.
He hurried to his own store, but surprisingly, he didn't see a single person along the way.
The Hunchback Village is not small. Although it was raining, it was very strange that there was no one on the road at noon.
——"Something is wrong. It's 120% wrong."
——"This is too coincidental. Chi Mu just started burning paper money and it started to rain heavily. Could it be that this village is really haunted?"
——"What the hell is going on? Didn't you see that the quest says to find all the murderers? Those people who died in the village were obviously killed by someone."
——"It's not surprising that it's raining. Didn't the A-level clearance mission say there would be floods?
So the rain now also indicates that there will be disasters such as mudslides in the near future. If you want to complete the mission, you need to observe these."
.......
After Chi Mu returned to his store, he immediately took off his clothes and wrung them dry.
He sat on a chair in the store and began to think about his next plan.
Compared with SS-level tasks, A-level tasks seem to be more difficult, but the distribution of the ghost story world in this way must have its own reasons.
Grade A is two levels simpler than grade SS. I'm afraid there are signs of when the flood will arrive.
But up to now, Chi Mu had no clues about the two tasks, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.
Chi Mu took out a piece of white paper from the cabinet and listed the names of victims he had heard from the villagers in the morning.
The first person to be killed was Widow Chen, followed by Jiang Feng, Ma Jinya, and Zhang Mazi who was only discovered this morning.
And according to the villagers, these people died in the same way. They were all naked, their spines were pulled out, and there were bloody cuts on their necks caused by knives.
Now it is enough to be certain that the murderer is most likely a man, because a woman is unlikely to be so cruel, and it is even more impossible for her to commit so many crimes in a row.
After all, the victims were almost all men.
After thinking about it, Chi Mu felt that he still had to go look for Lame Li.
Because he was the only one in the village who handled matters related to funerals, most of the funeral affairs were handed over to Lame Li by the families of the deceased.
Therefore, Lame Li must know a lot of inside information, and by the way, he can also find out where these people died.
"First of all, we need to figure out whether this is a revenge killing or a random killing... If it is the latter, I myself am at risk of being killed."
Chi Mu felt a chill down his spine.
It wasn't because it was cold. Ever since he came back from burning paper money, he felt that his shop had become eerie.
Chi Mu couldn't help but think of what Lame Li had just said to him. Once paper money was burned, it was very likely to attract unclean things.
——"I finally understand. This ghost story copy is for the Chosen One to solve the case."
——"Although the known conditions are limited, Ivan from the Russian country has confirmed his general direction and will start with the relationship between the few dead people."
——"Ivan is really fast. I wonder if he can complete the SS-level clearance mission this time."
——"It's not just Ivan. The Chosen Ones from the Beautiful Country and the Baga Country were also very cautious this time and discovered a lot of details."
——"Yes, yes, why do I feel that the chosen ones of these countries have suddenly become smart?"
——"Baga, the Chosen One of our Great Baga Empire has always been very smart!"
.......
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there were occasional thunder.
Chi Mu received very few customers in the whole afternoon. He wanted to close the shop and go to Cripple Li's house to inquire for more information, but he was restricted by the rules.
[4: You must serve every customer who enters your store and never slack off.]
Just when Chi Mu was drowsy, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by thunder, and another customer walked into the store.
Chi Mu looked up and saw that the face of Cripple Li was clearly visible under the light of the lightning. Chi Mu was startled...
