He Shui Saiya waved to the dog, which barked twice before being picked up by him.
"Hiss—what bad luck!"
The skinny dog has a clearly visible stitch on its back, running from its neck all the way to its rump!
He Shuisai threw the dog to the ground. The dog looked up at him pitifully, but that only made him feel colder all over!
"Get out of here! You dead dog!"
The dog tried to rub against his leg, but he kicked it away!
He Shui Saiya took a deep breath. It seemed that this dead dog was now sticking to him. Rule Four stipulated that if he encountered a dog and had leftover food, he had to feed it, no questions asked.
But then they said that you must check the dog's back for sutures before feeding it, but they didn't explain what to do after you find them. Now, He Shuisaiya is in a dilemma: whether to feed it or not!
"Does the test result mean I have to feed it to the dog? What's the point of getting me tested then?! Is it just to disgust me?!"
Finally, under the dog's hungry gaze, He Shui Sai Ya still threw the piece of steamed bun she had broken off onto the ground.
The dog barked happily and ran to the steamed bun with its mouth wide open!
Click—click—
A bloodstained arm emerged from the dog's mouth, pried open its jaw, grabbed a steamed bun from the ground, and stuffed it into the dog's mouth!
He Shui Saiya felt a chill run down her spine and took a step back: "What the hell is this?!"
Damn it! Why didn't he go to a previous dungeon?!
All you have to do is vacation on the ship and enjoy endless feasts to get a quarter of the reward. Why would you choose to be assigned to this awful village when there are such great dungeons available?
This dog doesn't look right either; I need to stay away from it!
clang--!
A loud gong sound rang out!
He Shuisaiya subconsciously turned his head and saw an old man dressed in burlap clothes appear on the street at some point, striking the gong in his hand again!
clang--!
"No...no legs?"
He already had a guess in his mind about what was coming!
With an old man banging a gong in front of him and a dog with arms behind him, He Shuisai's fear reached its peak at this moment. The threat of death even made him unable to move his feet for a moment!
"No, I have to..."
Before Hesui Saiya could react, the scene in the air and on the ground had already switched, and his head rolled to the ground, staring blankly at the gray sky.
"That shadowy figure is here again!"
"What's going on? What is this dark shadow? Could it be that the dog attracted it? But wait! There was no dog when we encountered the shadow last time!"
"Could his motive be random killing?"
"Impossible! At this rate, everyone would die here today!"
Not only He Shui Sai Ya, but at least five other ghost storytellers have died mysteriously from the same shadowy figure. At least He Shui Sai Ya had the talent to save his life, but the others were truly dead!
Some of them didn't break any rules at all, and one of them hadn't even entered the village yet!
I can't think of anything these people have in common. The only possibility is that they are now in the same world.
"Did you get a good look at the dark figure?"
"How could anyone possibly see that! It's too fast!"
He Shuisaiya's consciousness faded again. Before that, he seemed to have vaguely heard a sentence echoing in his ears—
"Brother...brother! Help...help me!"
The live stream then switched, and He Shuisaiya appeared in another outhouse.
"What a terrible thing!"
"Ancestral hall?"
Jiang Ran stood in front of a building, an ancient ancestral hall with a dilapidated plaque and cobwebs everywhere.
Three sticks of incense and candles were burning at the entrance of the ancestral hall, their flames flickering in the wind.
[Rule Seven: Do not eat any food in a room, including food that was previously in the room. However, if there are three burning incense sticks in front of the door, you can place the food in that room on the nearest altar, and you may reap some other rewards.]
Will we get anything else? Food or other items that will advance the plot?
[Pandora's Box has randomly refreshed the item for you: Ren Xiaodie's Marriage Certificate]
Pandora's Box refreshed a second item for Jiang Ran. Jiang Ran estimated the time taken, which was about an hour. In that case, the refresh frequency was definitely fast!
The marriage certificate I obtained was not a paper one, but an old-fashioned one made by hammering copper plates. In today's world, it is almost extinct.
Jiang Ran then took out the invitation. Both items seemed to point to a wedding—Ren Xiaodie and Xu Ying's wedding. In addition, the name of this supernatural world is Piancun Wedding Hall, so if you want to pass the level, this wedding must be hiding a lot of clues!
However, since the ancestral hall is right in front of us, let's go there first!
Behind a room not far away, Gu Polu from the Indian Kingdom peeked out and watched Jiang Ran enter the ancestral hall, then followed him stealthily!
"Jiang Ran has already gone in, so there must be something important inside! Anyway, he can't kill me."
Gu Poluo had a very clear understanding of himself. Jiang Ran would never kill him and lose his qualification to pass the level. For Jiang Ran, this would not only be a bad deal, but a huge loss!
Jiang Ran arrived at the ancestral hall. The strong wind made the already flimsy windows rattle. A crow was stealing fruit from the table. Perhaps sensing someone's entry, it raised its head and stared at Jiang Ran with its red pupils.
Jiang Ran waved them away. The fruit on the table was a bit moldy, but Jiang Ran hadn't originally intended to eat it; he just wanted to take it out and place it on the altar.
Just as Jiang Ran was about to take the fruit off the table, the ancestral hall door slammed shut by itself!
Jiang Ran turned his head instantly and saw that Gu Poluo was startled and quickly raised his hands, shouting that it was not him who did it!
He was puzzled. He had intended to follow Jiang Ran quietly, but as soon as he stepped inside, the door closed automatically. Who could he complain to?
All the windows were closed due to the strong wind, and the already dim light was completely cut off, plunging the entire ancestral hall into darkness!
"Open it for me!"
Gu Polu shook the door with all his might, but it seemed that the door was not simply blown shut by the wind. No matter how hard he tried, he could not open the door!
"Jiang... Jiang Ran, you're so amazing, you must have a way to get out, right?"
Go out? Why do we need to go out?
Jiang Ran originally thought that coming to the ancestral hall was just a matter of taking food and placing it on the altar, but now it seems that it is much more interesting than he originally imagined!
