Chi Mu looked at Yang Qu's familiar face, and his originally panicked and confused heart suddenly calmed down.
Even though the water from the back mountain was flowing down more and more and the flood was about to break out, Chi Mu was not panicked at all.
"I have asked you before why you can enter and exit every place I am, but you answered me that there are 'unspeakable' restrictions and you cannot tell me.
However, I think that since you have a way to leave your own place, you must also have a way to take others away."
After a pause, Chi Mu looked at Yang Qu, with a serious face: "I want to ask you a favor, can you take Lin Miaomiao away from here as well..."
Yes, if you want to ensure that Lin Miaomiao lives safely in the future, you can only let Yang Qu take her away from here.
Because the flood has begun to break out now, I am afraid that it won’t be long before the entire Hunchback Village will be destroyed by the flood.
All hopes can only be placed on Yang Qu.
"I can take Miaomiao away from here, but you can save her alone, can you save everyone in this entire village?
If you wanted to save others, you shouldn't have chosen to complete the SS-level ghost story mission in the first place."
Yang Qu looked at Chi Mu calmly, his tone was also very flat.
However, the heat in her eyes never diminished.
Chi Mu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Unfortunately, his ability limits himself, otherwise he would also like to complete the A-level clearance mission and save everyone in Hunchback Village.
But at the beginning he had no idea about the A-level ghost story missions, so he had to choose the more difficult SS-level ghost story missions.
"I... I also want to save all the villagers in the Hunchback Village, but it's too late to say anything now. I'll save as many people as I can."
Chi Mu clenched his fists and felt sad in his heart.
Even though he has a heart that sympathizes with all living beings, he does not have the ability to save them.
This was the first time he felt such helplessness.
He vaguely remembered that in the horror story of "Horror City", the so-called god said something like this.
At that time, Chi Mu only thought that He said it in order to enhance His own divinity.
Now that Chi Mu has learned that 'Unspeakable' might be the creator of the entire world of rule-based ghost stories, he begins to suspect that the god might have experienced something similar.
That's why I ended up feeling so helpless.
How could Chi Mu be capable of doing something that even gods couldn't do?
"I can promise you that I will take Miaomiao away from here... and you should also go and confirm one last thing."
Yang Qu didn't say anything else.
She glanced in the direction of the back mountain, which was also a reminder for Chi Mu to hurry up.
After getting Yang Qu's assurance, Chi Mu didn't hesitate any more and walked towards the Cripple Li's family.
On the way, Chi Mu realized that this ghost story copy had its destined ending from the very beginning.
As long as Chi Mu chooses to complete the SS-level ghost story mission, it means that the Hunchback Temple is destined to be washed away by floods and all the villagers will die.
This symbolizes that all evil people will be punished by God.
Lin Zhang who accidentally killed his wife, the cripple Li who had no moral bottom line and dug graves to keep corpses, Li Tiezhu who wanted to avenge Lin Miaomiao, and the father who made a dirty deal to conceal the fact that Lin Zhang killed someone.
Although their motivation was not malicious, killing is ultimately an evil act, and no one has the ability to decide the life or death of others.
In addition, if Chi Mu chose to complete the A-level ghost story mission at the beginning, he would ensure the safety of all villagers before the flood came.
That means that even if Chi Mu learns about the evil deeds of the evil people in the village in the process, he will choose to save them.
Therefore, this strange copy has two outcomes for the Chosen One to choose from.
Either punish all evildoers, or be righteous and save everyone, even the guilty evildoers.
“Knock, knock…”
Chi Mu brought Yang Qu to the door of Lame Li's house and started knocking.
At this time, the earth was shaking slightly, which was a sign that the flood was about to come.
The door was opened, and when Lame Li saw Chi Mu, his expression was very indifferent.
It was as if he had guessed Chi Mu would come.
"Xiao Mu, you finally came to see me, hehe."
After hearing what Lame Li said, Chi Mu's previous suspicions were immediately confirmed.
Lame Li used paper men to lure Chi Mu to the river twice, and it turned out to be intentional.
The purpose is to let Chi Mu find the corpse by the river and let him know the transaction between his father and the dwarf man.
Chi Mu didn't waste any words. He looked deeply at Lame Li: "Uncle Lame, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm very curious why you took the initiative to let me find those clues. You and my father are obviously in the same group..."
There was a gloom in Lame Li's eyes. He hunched his back, laughed a few times, and then replied in a hoarse voice.
"Your father, I, and many other villagers are evil people, especially me. Raising a little ghost to burn for birthday is a detrimental act.
I want to accumulate some virtue for myself, so that a person with a sense of justice can know the evil deeds of all people. "
"Isn't that right? If that's the case, you could just tell me the whole truth directly. There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Chi Mu frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Lame Li would give him such a hasty answer.
Lame Li took out a cigarette and lit it.
However, this time it was a normal cigarette, not the birthday cigarette he always smoked.
"Hey, if I tell you all the truth directly, will you believe it? Now that you know all the truth, don't you think the truth is very absurd?
Only by letting you know the truth bit by bit, you will know how terrible human nature is. And your father is also a bad man. If I tell you directly that he is wrong, you will be furious. Can you believe this?"
Lame Li took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled, a relieved smile on his face.
He looked sideways at the water gradually coming from the back hill, and said meaningfully: "You made the right choice, this is how you should punish the evildoers."
After a pause, Cripple Li continued, "The only thing you don't know now is the relationship between your father and Zhang Mazi and others.
Your father and those four men were hunters in Hunchback Village when they were young. In the past two years, they have robbed many graves to help me find the bodies of children.
But your father only dug up children's graves and would never touch other graves, let alone take away the burial objects in those graves.
But Zhang Mazi and his men had evil intentions and dug up many graves without your father's knowledge, and took away the burial objects to sell for money. All of this happened to be seen by the widow Chen who went up the mountain to collect herbs.
In order to hide the secret, they teamed up to abuse Widow Chen and brutally killed her. Haha, they didn't expect that Widow Chen would become a ghost after her death to seek revenge! "
Lame Li revealed the real cause of Widow Chen's death and also told the relationship between his father and the dead man.
"this......"
Chi Mu was shocked. He didn't expect that everything in the village started with his father.
Knowing the whole truth, everything made sense.
"Hurry up, the flood is coming soon, and all the evildoers, including me, will be punished..."
