Extra: The Village That Cannot Lie (Part 2)
Village chief: "6pm to 6am the next day is the safe time, you don't have to talk."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, they would have to get up every hour at night and would not be able to sleep at all, and even if they did, they would not sleep well.
"You should have a good rest tonight. I will take you to meet other villagers tomorrow." The village chief looked at everyone and said, "Tomorrow, you will have a whole day to look for Ah Xiu."
Everyone was stunned.
The village chief knew they were looking for Ah Xiu.
No, the village chief didn’t know their mission, but they came to this village probably to help the villagers find A Xiu.
Sure enough, the village chief snorted and laughed, and said: "The reason I called you here is to let you find Ah Xiu."
When his eyes fell on Gu Lin and Qi Yuan, he was a little unhappy, "There are only seven people in total, and two babies who can't even walk with their feet. What can two babies do?"
The village chief's words surprised everyone.
To be honest, when they entered the game, they were still confused and had no idea what role they were going to play.
Through the village chief's few words, they had roughly understood the situation.
They were specially called here by the villagers to find A Xiu, and the mission of this copy was also to find A Xiu.
Therefore, who A Xiu is is crucial. Since the villagers are looking for A Xiu, the whole village must know A Xiu.
Moreover, this Ah Xiu disappeared and could not be found in the entire village.
When Gu Lin heard the village chief talking about him and Qi Yuan, he started to talk nonsense, trying to make excuses for himself and Qi Yuan: "Humph, my brother Yuan and I can walk and run."
The village chief was not interested in arguing with children. Unlike other elderly people who loved children, this village chief disliked everyone, as if everyone owed him money.
"Who is Xiu?" Huang Mao asked, "Why don't you go find Xiu yourself?"
The village chief glared at him and said, "The villagers of Can't Lie Village cannot leave the village. Only outsiders can leave. You have to go to the back mountain to find Ah Xiu. The villagers can't go there."
Everyone still had many questions, but the village chief didn't want to say more: "Okay, it's getting late, I'll take you to rest first."
The layout of the village chief's house is very strange, with the rooms closely connected to each other.
Each room is square and contains only a bed. There is a wall clock hanging on the wall opposite the bed. There is nothing else, not even a window. It looks very cramped and depressing, making people feel uncomfortable.
The seven houses are closely packed together, like seven neatly arranged urns.
The village chief likes to look up at people from below, revealing most of the whites of his eyes, which makes him look spooky, as if he wants to peel off a layer of skin from the person.
"One room per person. We will set off for the back mountain at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
After saying this, the village chief left.
After the village chief left, none of the seven people, five adults and two children, entered the room immediately.
Gu Lin was puzzled: "Brother Yuan, why do you have to have your tongue pulled out and pinched when you lie? Is lying a bad behavior?"
Gu Lin is almost two years old. He will shut his mouth when he doesn't want to answer a question, and he hasn't learned to lie yet.
Qi Yuan said: "You won't have your tongue pulled out if you tell the truth."
Gu Lin stuck out his tongue and said, "You can't pull out the baby's tongue. If you pull it out, the baby won't be able to eat."
Qi Yuan: “…”
Others: “…”
I thought Gu Lin would say that I can’t speak if I unplug it, but he said I can’t eat.
As expected, eating is the first priority in Gu Lin’s mind.
Gu Lin's words reminded everyone.
Why does a female ghost in black appear and pull out your tongue when you tell a lie?
In a popular sense, lying is not a good behavior. So, is it a "punishment" for a female ghost in black to pull out a person's tongue?
However, having your tongue pulled out for telling a lie is more like a revenge than a punishment.
The female ghost in black is not Ah Xiu, so what is the relationship between them?
Why do the villagers want to find Ah Xiu?
There are so many doubts and there are too few clues at the moment to make any conclusions.
"What we can be sure of now is," the double-hatted boss said, "the villagers are afraid of the black-clad female ghost, but they are trying their best to find Ah Xiu. The key to fighting the black-clad female ghost lies in Ah Xiu."
Song Ran and Su Qiao nodded in agreement.
The biggest worry of the villagers now is the fear of having their tongues cut off, so they specifically asked someone to find A Xiu, definitely to fight against the female ghost in black.
Huang Mao was getting a little impatient. He yawned and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, we still have a whole day tomorrow to look for that Ah Xiu. I'm so sleepy."
He picked a room at random, walked in, lay down on the bed without taking off his shoes, and left the door open.
After lying on the bed, Huangmao was too lazy to move. He whistled at the girl in the denim jacket: "Hey, the beautiful lady who came with me, please help close the door. Thank you."
Chen Yan glanced at him, ignored him, and walked straight to another room.
The village chief said that each person would have a room, and Gu Lin and Qi Yuan chose rooms next to each other.
Gu Lin yawned and said, "Brother Yuan, I'm sleepy, go to bed."
Qi Yuan: "Well, good night, baby."
Gu Lin: "Good night, Brother Yuan."
*
In the middle of the night, Huangmao suddenly felt his body was empty. He opened his eyes suddenly and was woken up by the cold.
The door was wide open and not closed. The cold wind blew in from outside, and the door made a creaking sound.
It was pitch black outside, filled with a layer of black fog, and nothing could be seen clearly.
You only need to wear a thin coat in this weather. Is it really that cold?
Huangmao was in a daze for a moment and looked at the wall clock. The hour hand pointed to three o'clock.
He paused for a moment, then stood up and closed the door.
As his hand just touched the door and was about to close it, he saw a dark shadow standing under a tree outside the house.
At first, Huangmao thought he was dazzled. He rubbed his eyes hard and found that the black shadow was not only still there, but became clearer.
It was a girl whose arms and legs were sewn together. The inside of her left arm and the outside of her left thigh were sewn together, and the inside of her right arm and the outside of her right thigh were sewn together.
After being sewn together, the arms and legs became one, and then they were covered with all-black clothes.
So, her overall shape is the character “冂” with a human head on top.
Black clothes, woman, black-clothed female ghost!
The yellow-haired man's pupils dilated, his face suddenly lost blood, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
He wanted to call for help, but his throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
He wanted to close the door, but he couldn't move his body and his hands and feet were completely out of control.
The female ghost in black looked at the yellow-haired man and slowly grinned. Her smile was strange and eerie. Her mouth was dark and empty, like a black hole, and there was no tongue.
The yellow-haired man looked at the female ghost in black with cold sweat.
Why did the black-clothed female ghost come to find him when he clearly did not lie?
The next second, the female ghost in black moved.
She walked quickly using her stitched arms and legs, more than three times faster than an ordinary person, as if she was walking at triple speed.
This scene is too horrifying and weird, it's really abnormal and makes people's sanity drop wildly.
The female ghost in black walked straight up to the yellow-haired man and came face to face with him before she stopped.
Her hair was greasy and dirty, hanging in wisps in front of her eyes, revealing her cold and terrifying blood-red eyes, which were fixed on the yellow-haired man.
The yellow-haired man's pupils trembled, and his whole body was locked in those eyes.
The black-clothed female ghost's mouth opened wider and wider, and her smile became more and more weird. Her long black hair came to life, squirming and covering the yellow-haired face, and getting into his eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth.
Blood trickled out, and the yellow-haired head looked like a plug that had been drilled through, covered with dense, wriggling hair.
The next moment, his hair pulled out his tongue by the roots, pulling it out completely...
*
Gu Lin was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by a rustling sound.
He sleeps in a small ball on the bed and doesn't take up any space at all, but he is a restless sleeper and likes to run around all over the bed.
I was sleeping at the end of the bed, close to the wall, but in the middle of the night I moved to the end of the bed, sleeping sideways.
Children don’t like to cover themselves with quilts when they sleep, and Gu Lin is no exception. His short legs are placed on the quilt, and his whole body forms a small “big” shape.
I didn't maintain that position for long, and then I fell asleep on my stomach again.
The rustling sound came from the door.
Gu Lin didn't open his eyes, only his ears moved slightly, but he showed no sign of waking up.
He didn't see that a bunch of wriggling hair stretched out from the crack in the door. The hair stretched and lengthened, and soon covered the door panel with a dense layer.
Gu Lin turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
The hair extended under the bed and tried to climb up the bedposts.
However, at this moment, suddenly, the originally living hair seemed to be cut in half. After struggling and twisting for a moment, it completely lost its vitality and turned into a pile of ordinary hair, motionless.
The door was pushed open from the outside. In the foggy night, Qi Yuan stood outside the door and glanced coldly at the hair on the ground.
He didn't pay attention to the hair all over the floor, and his eyes fell on Gu Lin who was still sleeping soundly on the bed.
Qi Yuan avoided the hair on the ground, walked to the bed, and covered Gu Lin with a quilt.
Gu Lin's face was rosy, and in his sleep, he snored with his little fists, without even noticing.
The hair lying on the ground took the opportunity to retreat out of the door like a tide and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
*
The next morning, everyone woke up early.
They set out for the back mountain at six o'clock today. They didn't dare to delay, after all, the mission would end at six in the evening.
Gu Lin was awakened by a terrifying scream.
He got up with a start and sat cross-legged on the bed. His soft hair was a little messy, his eyes were sleepy, and his little face looked as if he had not woken up yet.
Rubbing his eyes, Gu Lin was about to get out of bed and put on his shoes when Qi Yuan pushed the door open from outside.
Gu Lin stretched his body lazily and called out, "Brother Yuan."
Qi Yuan looked clear-headed, not at all like Gu Lin who was drowsy after just waking up. He walked to the bed, picked up Gu Lin's small shoes and handed them to him: "Put on your shoes first and then come down."
Gu Lin nodded: "Yes, put on your shoes."
He put on one and Qi Yuan helped hold the other without showing any disdain.
Gu Lin put on his shoes and got out of bed.
"The baby was woken up by the loud shouting." Gu Lin said in a tender voice, spreading his hands with a worried look, "What happened?"
Qi Yuan said: "Let's go and take a look."
The two cubs walked out of the room together.
Everyone else has already gotten up, and Song Ran, Su Qiao and the double-layered hat boss are also fully dressed. At this time, everyone, including Chen Yan, gathered at the door of Huangmao's room.
Everyone was there except Huangmao.
Seeing Gu Lin and Qi Yuan walking hand in hand, Song Ran, Su Qiao and the other boss in the double-layer hat greeted them.
Su Qiao was more direct. He rubbed Gu Lin's little head, looked at Qi Yuan, laughed dryly, and withdrew his hand. In the end, he did not dare to rub Qi Yuan's head.
For some reason, Qi Yuan, at such a young age, has an aura comparable to that of the double-hatted boss, which really makes people dare not act rashly.
Chen Yan’s face was pale and he was staggering. He looked at Huang Mao’s room with horror.
The scream just now came from her.
Following her gaze, everyone's attention was focused on the yellow-haired man's room.
After seeing the scene in the room clearly, the boss in the double-hat remained calm as usual, but Song Ran's expression changed slightly.
Su Qiao covered her mouth and almost vomited. She was a bit of a germaphobe, and the scene before her was a little beyond her tolerance.
It's not fear, but disgust.
I saw that Huangmao's entire room was covered with dense hair. The walls, the floor, the bed, and even the door panels were all covered with a layer of hair. The greasy and dirty hair was like moss, sticking to every corner of the room.
On the floor in front of the bed, the yellow-haired man was slumped over with his neck tilted back. His eyes had turned into dark bloody holes, his body was covered in dried blood, and his wide-open mouth was empty, with no tongue.
His tongue had been ripped out.
Song Ran took a breath.
Gu Lin could only see mosaics and nothing else. He shook Qi Yuan's arm and said, "Brother Yuan, what's in this room?"
Qi Yuan's expression did not change at all. He just glanced at it and said, "Hair."
There was no mosaic in front of his eyes.
Chen Yan seemed to be frightened, and said incoherently: "Tongue, tongue, it was the female ghost in black, it must have been the female ghost in black who pulled out his tongue!"
Su Qiao asked: "But did Huangmao lie?"
Huang Mao came here with Chen Yan. Chen Yan shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know."
Qi Yuan said: "Last night, the female ghost in black also came to find Zizi."
Hearing this, several people looked at him and Gu Lin.
Su Qiao checked Gu Lin up and down: "Tuanzi, are you okay?"
Gu Lin tilted his head: "Baby, it's okay."
I couldn't help wondering, "Why don't I know that?"
Qi Yuan said: "You fell asleep."
Gu Lin: "Then how did Brother Yuan know? Didn't Brother Yuan sleep?"
Gu Lin has a lot of small questions, and if you don’t understand something, you have to get to the bottom of it.
Qi Yuan said: "Yeah, I got up when I heard the noise."
The man in the double-layer hat glanced at Qi Yuan, and that look was ambiguous.
Song Ran said: "What's the noise? Why didn't I hear it?"
Su Qiao also looked puzzled: "I didn't hear it either."
Qi Yuan didn't want to explain, but seeing Gu Lin looking at him eagerly, he explained: "My hearing is better."
Gu Lin said: "Why didn't the kid hear it? The kid's little ears are good!"
Qi Yuan looked at him: "You fell asleep."
Although Gu Lin had many questions, he was easy to fool. He said crisply: "Oh, the baby fell asleep, so he couldn't hear it."
Qi Yuan couldn't help but smile.
Su Qiao Song Ran Double Hat Boss: "..."
Asking questions over and over again, and finally returning to the original explanation, what is the difference between this and not asking questions
Su Qiao said: "The most important question now is why did the black-clothed female ghost come after Tuanzi and Huangmao? I don't remember Tuanzi lying, and how could Tuanzi lie? I'm not sure about Huangmao."
Gu Lin hugged his little arms: "Huh, when did you lie?"
The double-hatted boss raised his eyebrows and said lazily: "Could it be that the criteria for judging lying are different from what we know?"
The double-hat boss' words startled both Su Qiao and Song Ran.
Song Ran figured it out quickly and analyzed: "What the kid said yesterday - if you pull out your tongue, you can't eat. But, if you pull out your tongue, you can eat, but you can't talk. This may also be considered a 'lie'."
He looked at the dead yellow-haired man. "And what the yellow-haired man said was - he was so sleepy. In real life, this cannot be considered a lie in any way. It is just an exaggeration, but it was also judged as a 'lie'."
What Song Ran said made sense, otherwise it would be hard to find any words of Gu Lin that could be considered a lie.
"And," Su Qiao added, "Huang Mao also said that we have a whole day today to look for Ah Xiu, but we entered the game at six o'clock yesterday when the sun went down, and the mission only lasts for one day. So, there is less than a whole day today."
Song Ran added: "This may also be judged as 'lying'."
"Remember what the village chief said? He said we had one day to look for Ah Xiu. He was very precise in what he said, almost to the point of nitpicking over every word."
Everyone fell silent.
If the standard for judging lying is to the point of nitpicking on words, then there are traps everywhere and it is easy to "lie" accidentally.
After all, Tuanzi just said that he couldn't eat if his tongue was pulled out, but he was still judged as lying.
This is ridiculous.
Just then, the village chief came over with two young men.
