"Okay, stop arguing!" As soon as the bearded man finished speaking, everyone stopped talking and just glared at each other, obviously not convinced.
"How about this, let's use 5,000 points and try asking a question to see if it helps. Then everyone can contribute a share of the points."
Some players looked dissatisfied, but seeing the sinister bearded man, they did not dare to refute and reluctantly transferred all their points to the bearded man.
Several people walked up to Old Lady Lin. The bearded man forced a smile, looking even more sinister.
"Auntie, we want to ask a question. 5,000 points, right? How can we transfer them to you?" Players all know that only the big boss of this copy can collect points, so they asked this question.
I originally thought that I would have to go to An Jingzhi first to give the points before I could come back to ask questions, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin took out a mobile phone from the small bag on her waist and said, "Just do the transaction like this, just transfer the money directly to my phone." This is a palm-sized phone for the elderly.
Old Lady Lin's action confused the other players.
Mobile phones can be used to transfer points? How come they don’t know?
The bearded man seemed to be thinking about something, and then he transferred the points directly to Mrs. Lin's mobile phone as requested by the other party.
After receiving the points, Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Okay, you can ask whatever you want. You can only ask one question."
No one had really decided what questions to ask. After a few minutes of discussion, the players turned back and said, "Auntie, we'd like to know why there's an ancestral hall in our village? Was it passed down from our ancestors? Or was it built by us?"
The bearded man always felt that there was something strange about this ancestral hall. The information he had about An Jingzhi was that he was a college student who had returned to the village. He couldn't get any important information from anyone else, so he decided to start from the ancestral hall.
Old Lady Lin's eyes flickered. "You mean that thing? We didn't build it, nor was it handed down from our ancestors. It's always been there."
The bearded man had been staring at Old Lady Lin, and naturally did not miss the moment when her eyes flickered.
"What do you mean? What do you mean it already existed?"
Mrs. Lin said, "It's already there. I've already told you, why are you asking? If you have any more questions, you'll be charged."
The bearded man's expression froze and he looked a little ugly.
The players were also dissatisfied with the answer to this question and went to the side to discuss it.
"What is this? I didn't get anything out of this question. Didn't these 5,000 points go to waste?"
"There's something strange about this old woman. There was something wrong with her answer just now. There might really be something in the ancestral hall that we must see."
"It wasn't handed down from our ancestors, nor was it built by them themselves. Where do you think this ancestral hall came from?"
The bearded man was silent for a moment, then asked the fatal question.
The others were quiet for a moment when they heard this.
Then a heated debate broke out.
"So, could it be?" The player pointed his finger towards the sky, obviously, he was referring to the infinite system.
"No way? Why would it build a shrine like this? Don't these copy worlds already exist?"
This player's words shocked many people.
Yeah, did these copies exist originally?!
Some players broke out in cold sweat when they thought of this.
"Some of us came in voluntarily, and some were pulled in. So, are these copies also pulled in from the real world?!"
"If that's true, then it makes sense. Originally, this was an ordinary low-level dungeon where many low-level players would come to fight monsters. Before coming here, I asked other players about it, and they found out that the original background of this dungeon was not like that at all. It was a village full of evil."
"So, could it be that the NPC in the dungeon has awakened, causing the dungeon's difficulty to increase?"
The man with the tattooed arms looked serious, "It's almost certain."
"If that's the case, can we boldly speculate that the ancestral hall was also created by the system? A village like this couldn't possibly afford such a hall. And it wasn't passed down from our ancestors. I don't think that old woman is lying."
"There's definitely something fishy going on in the ancestral hall this time. All the NPCs here have awakened, so the ancestral hall was thrown in by the system. So, can we reasonably speculate that the boss's fatal weakness is also inside?"
"Yes! That must be the case!" the player said excitedly.
They found themselves discovering more and more secrets of the system.
In addition to some fear, there is also some excitement. Since these copies may also be pulled in by the system, they can use this idea to crack more copies.
"It seems we still have to go to the ancestral hall." The bearded man said to the man with tattoos.
The man with tattoos nodded. Although he had some psychological trauma from the last time, he was not afraid to go.
"We have to go, so we have to go on the last day, right? If anything happens, we can run out quickly." If we are lucky, we can find a place to hide until the cycle of reincarnation restarts.
In order to confirm the authenticity of the news, the player spent tens of thousands of points to inquire about the news from the villagers.
I got a general understanding of the information about the village and some simple information about An Jingzhi.
I also found out the important news that An Jingzhi was adopted.
The group of people were ecstatic and were waiting for the last day to go to the ancestral hall to find out other key information.
Although no one had been here before when it was a low-level dungeon, everyone knew that the people in this dungeon were not good people, but the information they heard now was completely different.
This once again proves the problem of the ancestral hall.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the villagers lied.
…
The players were quiet for a few days.
At daybreak, the player was still asleep when he heard sporadic noises coming from outside the village. He immediately woke up and sat up!
"Look!"
Following the voice of this player, the players looked out the window and saw a large crowd of people moving in one direction.
"What are they doing? They weren't like this a few days ago, were they?"
"They seem to be heading towards the ancestral hall. Should we follow them?" The player looked at the bearded man in confusion.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Follow me!" These opportunities were rare, and who knows, they might be able to take advantage of it to get some useful information.
After the bearded man finished speaking, all the other players stood up, carried their weapons close to their bodies, and followed the villagers from a distance.
"Why do these villagers look a little strange? Have you noticed that their faces are a little pale and don't look like living people?" A famous player quietly observed the faces of the villagers.
"Yes, yes, I just took a look too. Their eyes were also dull, like soulless puppets."
This group of players were no pushovers. After earning 40,000 information points from them, An Jingzhi was worried that they would get angry and start a fight, so he kept an eye on them. He was sure that this group of players would follow him to the ancestral hall to pay their respects, so he could only follow and keep an eye on them.
