Extra: The Village That Cannot Lie (Part 1)

Extra: The Village That Cannot Lie (Part 1)

【Welcome to the Village Where You Can’t Lie】

【Mission: Find A Xiu. 】

【Time: 1 day.】 】

【Number of people: 7】

This is a village that is a little too quiet.

The village was shrouded in a thick, dark fog; the houses and trees were hazy and difficult to see clearly.

It was evening, the sun had just set, and the light was dimming, adding an eerie atmosphere to the village, making people feel creepy.

Gu Lin and Qi Yuan entered the game together, but this time Gu Lin was the only one there, and no one knew where Qi Yuan had gone.

Gu Lin was carrying a small Ultraman backpack on his back. He grasped the shoulder straps of the backpack with his wavy little hands and looked at the dim surroundings.

The small mountain village was filled with spooky atmosphere and no one was seen, but Gu Lin was brave and not afraid at all.

But he was not even as tall as the weeds on the roadside. At this moment, he was standing on a small path in the field at the entrance of the village. His skin was so white that it was almost transparent. If someone saw him, they would probably mistake him for a ghost doll.

After all, a delicate little boy suddenly appearing on a country road would be a little scary no matter how cute he was.

Gu Lin called 9528 in his mind, his voice crisp: [9528, where is this place? Where is brother A Yuan?]

9528: [Players will be teleported to different places. Little anchor, let's go into the village and look for them.]

At this time, I was at the entrance of the village, with four or five criss-crossing roads in front of me.

Gu Lin took a small path and walked forward with his short legs. As he walked, he pulled the dogtail grass on the roadside with his little hands.

Gu Lin chose this path completely at random; his little head was simply incapable of considering so many things.

He walked very slowly with his short legs, and as he walked, he pulled the dogtail grass on the roadside with his little hands, and soon he had pulled a big bunch.

9528: […Little anchor, what are we doing with the dogtail grass?]

Gu Lin was a pure child at heart. He always ate and played when he entered the game. At this time, he was simply pulling the dogtail grass for fun.

Gu Lin said: [This can be made into a little bunny. 】

9528: [……]

OK, it has to be a small anchor!

When other players enter the game and hear the tasks released by the system, they will probably analyze the tasks as soon as possible, but Gu Lin obviously doesn't care about these.

It was already getting dark, and now was clearly not the time to pull the dog's tail grass and weave little rabbits.

After walking for a while, a low whimpering sound suddenly came from the village, which was originally quiet and somewhat depressing. It sounded like the wind, but also like someone crying.

Gu Lin paused and pricked up his ears. He could hear more clearly than most people and immediately heard the unusual sound.

After listening for a while, he turned his little head, with two handfuls of dogtail grass in his hands, and then he saw a tree not far away.

The tree was very thick, with only bare trunk and branches left, but the branches were hung with dense strips of objects with red ropes.

The light was a little dim, but Gu Lin could still see clearly. They were tongues, human tongues.

The sound comes from these tongues.

Gu Lin blinked his big eyes. Anyone else would feel their scalp tingling and creepy when seeing the tree full of tongues. However, Gu Lin was not afraid. Instead, he lifted his little feet and took two steps forward.

He held the dogtail grass's little hand, stretched out a finger, pointed at the tongue tree, said "Huh" curiously, and wanted to come closer to see what was going on.

9528: [……]

This is not something to be curious about, little anchor!

Gu Lin had just taken two steps when two voices came from behind him at the same time.

"Cub."

"What are you doing?"

One is tender, the other is old and turbid.

Hearing the voice, Gu Lin immediately turned around and saw that it was indeed Qi Yuan, with an old man with a hunched back next to him.

The old man looked very old, at least in his sixties or seventies, with wrinkles all over his face, a gloomy and serious expression, and sinister eyes. He looked up at people, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

But Gu Lin didn't notice these. When he saw Qi Yuan, he immediately ran towards him and said happily: "Brother Yuan, where have you been?"

Qi Yuan glanced at the two handfuls of dogtail grass in Gu Lin's hand and said, "I'm in the village. This is the head of the village that can't lie. He brought me to find you."

As soon as Qi Yuan entered the game, he was in the village and soon met the old man who claimed to be the village chief. The village chief said that seven guests would come to their village today and he came specifically to welcome the guests.

These seven guests must be the players of this game.

The guests were all arranged to stay at the village chief's house. The village chief wanted to take Qi Yuan back, but Qi Yuan insisted on coming to see Gu Lin first.

The village chief didn't know how Qi Yuan knew where the other guest was, but he didn't ask much. With Qi Yuan leading the way, they walked along the path to the west end of the village. However, the further they walked, the more serious the village chief's expression became. When they arrived near the tongue tree, they saw Gu Lin who was about to walk towards the tongue tree.

The tongues on the tongue tree in front of it had obviously been pulled out and separated from the human body. They were dry and looked like dried bacon, but they could actually make a whimpering sound.

The village chief just looked at the tongue tree coldly, then looked at the one or two year old baby in front of him, with a gloomy expression. He just looked at it without saying a word.

But the two cubs in front of them were not ordinary cubs. Looking at the somewhat scary village chief in front of them, neither of them reacted much.

Gu Lin was still holding dogtail grass in both hands, with a small schoolbag on his back. He looked up at the village chief and asked in a tender voice: "Grandpa, why are there so many tongues on that tree? Are they used for cooking? Can they be eaten?"

Village Chief: “…”

What to eat

The village chief was obviously confused by Gu Lin's question. He squinted his eyes and looked at it. He had never noticed before that this tongue really looked like the dried goods dried during festivals.

Village Chief: “…………”

The village chief's expression cracked slightly, he turned around and snorted, "Why are you asking so many questions, little kid? Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

The village chief led the way in front, not saying a word along the way.

Gu Lin and Qi Yuan followed behind him.

Fortunately, the village chief was old and walked slowly, so the two little kids could easily keep up with him.

*

When we arrived at the village chief's house, the sky outside had turned completely dark. It was pitch black and only the shadows of the trees could be seen.

There are no street lights in the village, and the shadows of the trees look like ghosts, making people feel scared for no reason.

As soon as Gu Lin and Qi Yuan were brought back home by the village chief, several people immediately surrounded them.

"Dumpling!"

"Little devil!"

It was Su Qiao, Song Ran, and the double-hat boss.

The boss in the double-layer hat was as cold and taciturn as ever. He just looked at Gu Lin, then at Qi Yuan, and said nothing.

Seeing the three people, Gu Lin's eyes lit up instantly, and he called out to them one by one: "Sister Qiao Qiao, Uncle Song Ran, Brother Mao Mao!"

Su Qiao and Song Ran both touched his little head, and saw Qi Yuan. They were not very familiar with Qi Yuan, so no one dared to rub Qi Yuan's little head, even though Qi Yuan looked extremely cute.

Su Qiao smiled and said, "Brother Yuan is here too!"

Qi Yuan was not very good at interpersonal communication, so he just nodded coldly: "Hello."

But he himself did not realize that a child who was less than two years old, let alone pretending to be cold, would only look cute and not intimidating enough even when he was angry.

After Su Qiao was stunned for a moment, she couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Brother Yuan is so cute too!"

Qi Yuan: “…”

As a result, Qi Yuan's expression became even colder, but due to his appearance, he could not hide his adorable childishness no matter what.

Gu Lin was holding two handfuls of dogtail grass in his hands. When the others saw it, they couldn't help laughing.

I just entered the game. Where did I get so much grass?

Gu Lin raised the dogtail grass in his hand: "Sister, braid the bunny!"

He himself couldn't weave it, and he didn't think Song Ran and the double-hat boss could weave it, so he just asked Su Qiao.

Su Qiao was a girl who was quite clever and deft. She took a few sticks and made a little rabbit in no time.

Seeing the bunny, Gu Lin's eyes sparkled. He quickly handed over some dogtail grass and asked Su Qiao to make one: "Sister, make a bunny for brother A Yuan, too!"

Su Qiao made another rabbit and gave one to Gu Lin and Qi Yuan respectively.

Qi Yuan looked at the foxtail rabbit in his hand, his expression didn't change at all, maybe he didn't know what expression to make.

He was not as childish as Gu Lin and was obviously not interested in these things.

Gu Lin, however, was having a lot of fun. He tried to weave the remaining dogtail grass by himself, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make it work. He only came up with a weird shape.

At this time, the village chief came over with two more people, a man and a woman, both very young, around 25 years old.

The man was about 1.80 meters tall, with dyed yellow hair, a bone nail in his right ear, and a silver necklace around his neck. He had a look of disdain on his face, and his tight pants were very eye-catching.

Compared with men's clothing, women's clothing is much simpler, with no makeup on, pretty faces, jeans and denim jackets, and neat high ponytails.

These two are the remaining two players.

Gu Lin and others did not know these two players, but they recognized the baby-raising team at a glance.

After all, there is no player in the entire game more famous than the little player. Before, Gu Lin was the only cub in the game, but now with Qi Yuan, the two cubs together are even more eye-catching.

The two players looked at Gu Lin Qi Yuan, then at Su Qiao and the others, and before they could introduce themselves, the village chief spoke again.

The village chief looked at the seven outsiders with a cold expression and a cold tone: "You should rest here tonight. I have to remind you that our village is called the No Lie Village. Anyone who enters the village cannot lie and must tell the truth."

His eyes wandered over everyone's faces, "Once you tell a lie, the black-clad female ghost will appear, pull out your tongue, and hang it on a tree west of the village. Do you understand?"

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.

Gu Lin said, "Just now, I saw a tree full of tongues!"

The tree full of tongues

Hearing Gu Lin's words, everyone couldn't help but get goosebumps when they thought about that scene.

And just thinking about having your tongue pulled out alive hurts.

The village chief glanced at Gu Lin and said, "Yes, the tongue that the black-clothed female ghost pulled out was hung on that tree."

Silence for a few seconds.

The yellow-haired man with the bone nails was the first to speak, breaking the silence: "Is the female ghost in black called Ah Xiu?"

Others: “…”

Boy, is this too direct?

Su Qiao glanced at Song Ran and said, "You are even more direct than me."

The mission is to find Ah Xiu. The village is a village that cannot lie. Although the black-clothed female ghost who can pull out people's tongues has not been seen yet, it is very likely that she is the target of the mission.

The few of them had just entered the game, less than half an hour had passed, and they hadn’t figured anything out yet, but the yellow-haired guy was really a tiger.

Hearing the name "A Xiu", the village chief's already cold expression became even colder. Looking at the yellow-haired man's expression, it can be said to be gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "No."

People in the village cannot lie, and not even the village chief can lie, so the female ghost in black is really not A Xiu.

But who is A Xiu?

Judging from the village chief's reaction, he obviously knew A Xiu, otherwise he would not have reacted so strongly when hearing the name "A Xiu".

Song Ran said: "You can't lie, just keep silent."

The village chief sneered: "Of course not."

Song Ran: ""

Village Chief: "You can't keep silent, but you can't tell lies either."

The girl in jeans said: "What does it mean to not be able to talk?"

Village Chief: "Even if you don't say a word for more than an hour, your tongue will be pulled out. She will think you don't need your tongue and will pull it out for you."

Everyone: “…”

This is too barbaric.

If you don't talk for an hour, you will be killed. What should I do when I sleep at night? I can't sleep for an hour, get up and say something, then go back to sleep, then sleep for another hour and then get up and say something.
