"According to data analysis, there is a 65% probability that these skeletons were sacrifices in some kind of ritual before they were born, and a 35% probability that they were materials made by some kind of evil magic."
Hearing Dao Dao speak, no one was surprised.
After all, if Jinshangyue can possess an all-powerful robot, isn't it normal for the robot to speak?
But what the other party said was truly shocking.
sacrificial offerings?
Materials for black magic crafting?
Either way, it's terrifying.
Having suffered so much torment in life and died so tragically, are you sure you won't become a vengeful ghost seeking revenge after death?
For a moment, the guests looked around warily and somewhat apprehensively.
I always felt that there were countless ghostly figures in the darkness around me.
Countless blood-red eyes stared at them.
"Hey, don't you guys feel like there's something watching us around here?"
"I feel the same way. It's all dark and eerie around us. I feel like something is hiding in the darkness. Could it be the ghosts of these people who died tragically?"
The guests were all terrified, and several of them immediately bowed to the skeletons.
"Brothers and sisters, we're just passing by. We're all innocent, not villagers of this village. If you want revenge, make sure you're targeting the right people..."
Several skilled masters, some holding compasses, some calculating with their fingers, and others cautiously observing their surroundings while clutching talismans, were among them.
Every single one of them has started to get things going.
Shuiyun frowned and looked around. She hadn't heard any system notifications, nor were there any tasks she could do.
So there are no ghosts or monsters around here?
But seeing so many people around her doing the same thing, Shuiyun thought about it and decided to play it safe.
He also took out several talismans and stuck them on his body, and put on all the protective amulets.
He also held a peach wood sword in his hand.
Shuiyun glanced at Chao Jinshangyue, thought for a moment, and then refrained from going over to cause trouble.
She needs to think about how to minimize the risks when given a task by the system.
At the very least, she needs to understand Jin Shangyue's own abilities before she can devise a plan and address the root cause.
Jin Shangyue looked around and saw that there were indeed no ghosts here. She wondered where they had all gone to play.
Stepping onto the muddy path, Jin Shangyue had no intention of making do here and simply continued onward.
If you go through this village and then through two more villages, you will reach the innermost, haunted village closest to the foot of the mountain.
To get to Moonlit Ridge, you have to go through that village.
Because the entrance to Moonlit Ridge is right behind that village.
Seeing Jin Shangyue walk inside, the others thought for a moment and followed suit.
There are so many corpses here, we can't leave them here.
We can't just stay here tonight and sleep with these skeletons, can we?
So let's keep moving forward.
Anyway, all these guests were fed by the production team in the town before being sent over.
It's fine if we just travel straight tonight and don't sleep.
And so, the group of guests, one after another, made their way into the village.
Looking at the real-world geospatial scan image on the wristband, I followed the indicated route into the mountains, passing through Changsheng Village and two other villages.
"Damn! What happened to these villages? Why are there bones everywhere? Could the whole village have been a bandit's den?"
The guests muttered curses under their breath as they walked.
Who wouldn't have doubts after riding through village after village, passing through three villages in a row, with jagged white bones all along the way?
Even the viewers in the live stream were somewhat frightened and horrified after watching it.
"My goodness! What were these villagers doing before? Is anyone going to come forward and explain?"
"Why are there so many human bones along the way? What happened to these villages in the past?"
"Let me tell you, with so many dead people, how come there's no ghost? The guests have been gone for two hours, and we haven't seen a single ghost. That's not scientific!"
...
The viewers in the live stream were all discussing it, feeling that the place was extremely eerie.
With so many corpses, how come there are no ghosts?
That's just not scientific!
The guests were also feeling uneasy, sensing a calm before the storm.
Having encountered so many corpses along the way, I'm amazed that nothing happened to me.
Something feels strangely safe...
As they approached the village at the foot of the mountain, all the guests who were traveling ahead suddenly stopped in their tracks, stunned by what they saw.
The village ahead was a far cry from the desolate, dark, and gloomy places of the previous two villages.
The place was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, bustling with people, and filled with the sounds of gongs and drums—a truly lively and festive scene.
The guests looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What's going on? Weren't the nearby villages supposed to be deserted? How come there are still villagers in this village?"
"It looks really lively, is it a wedding?"
"Something feels off. It's past 11 p.m., and they're still having a wedding?"
...
One of the guests, dressed in a Taoist robe, carried a compass and exclaimed, "Ominous! Extremely ominous!"
"This village is full of ghosts, we're doomed!"
The others were startled and turned to look at the other masters who followed the path of metaphysics.
"No, is there really a problem? Master Shui, aren't you good at divination? Quickly calculate whether what lies ahead is auspicious or inauspicious?"
"Master Yang, do you sell your exorcism talismans? I'd like to buy one... no, ten!"
Master Yang immediately beamed with joy and pulled out a stack of talisman papers: "Selling, selling, selling! Here, 9888 each!"
