A thin young man, wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, with a long neck that made him look like he had a small head and a big body, walked slowly towards them in the empty yellow sand.
Yu Qirong raised her eyelids and knew who the person was: Xu Zhai, the son of the Moon Goddess from last time.
He didn't walk very fast, but when he walked over, it was as if he had teleported. After only a few steps, he was next to Yu Qirong.
Xu Zhai looked at Yu Qirong with a smile, but there was no real smile on his face. Instead, there was a bone-chilling coldness.
Yu Qirong lowered her eyes. Xu Zhai's hands were stained with blood, which formed a stream and flowed down along his sharp and abnormal nails.
Xu Zhai still has the same face, but he no longer has that feeling of the boy next door. His previous shyness seemed to be acted out, but now his true colors are revealed, and he is actually a monster that only knows how to eat people.
He tilted his head slightly, as if waiting for Yu Qirong to speak.
He has seen many astronomy enthusiasts visiting Huangsha Village, but most of them had expressions of horror and disbelief on their faces when they saw him again after the lunar eclipse began, and sometimes they even wet their pants.
But the two people in front of me, one wearing a mask from beginning to end, and the other always cold, both are hard to see through.
After Yu Qirong hesitated for a moment, he got what he wanted. He opened his mouth and said, "Don't smile. It's a bit ugly."
Xu Zhai's smile froze, and then it completely disappeared. He also frowned and said in a gloomy and fierce voice: "You are looking for death."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Su Tang's eyes became stern, and the short blade in his hand hanging by his side suddenly appeared. The air pressure around him was very low, like the dullness of an approaching storm.
Yu Qirong, on the other hand, remained calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he retorted, "I won't die."
"You appear here openly, but you are not in a hurry to take action. You are here with a mission, right?" Yu Qirong asked.
Xu Zhai was stunned, and his slightly childish face finally revealed an expression consistent with his age.
How could he know? He was indeed...
"Hurry up and lead the way," Yu Qirong's voice was filled with relief, as if she had finally seen Xu Village. "I'm a little lost and can't find your Moon Goddess worship site... Your village is quite winding."
Xu Zhai lowered his head and glared at the masked white-haired man. He murmured in a low voice: "Aren't you an astronomy enthusiast who came here to watch the lunar eclipse...?"
"Oh, right." Yu Qirong said in a tone of sudden enlightenment, as if he had just remembered this setting, and patched it up and said, "Your grandfather said that place is the best for watching the lunar eclipse, and invited us to go there. You should take me there quickly, or we will miss it if we are late."
Xu Zhai: “…”
He stared at Yu Qirong's expression, looking at her with some disbelief.
As the son of the Moon God, he was indeed going to lead people to witness the Moon God's coming, but most of the people he met ran away when they saw him, or refused to go. At this time, he could kill them blatantly.
The dead will turn into wells, forget their previous memories, and even think that they were once a member of Huangsha Village.
It's also a rebirth in a way.
He looked at Su Tang beside him, trying to find a trace of fear or reluctance on his face, but Su Tang kept looking at the masked man, as if he would follow him no matter what he wanted, and was completely infatuated with him.
Xu Zhai seemed to suddenly remember something and looked in the direction where Yu Qirong had gone. "Are the others still in the house? Or hiding somewhere else? It's useless. You'll die faster this way."
Yu Qirong's expression did not change: "Don't worry about others, take me there first, it's urgent."
Xu Zhai was alert: "What are you going to do?"
Yu Qirong showed an innocent expression and shrugged: "Look at the moon. What can I, an astronomy enthusiast, do?"
What the hell is this astronomy enthusiast! Xuzhai has never seen such a fearless astronomy enthusiast!
But he couldn't make things difficult for those who were willing to participate in the Moon Goddess Celebration, so he gritted his teeth and said in a bad tone: "Follow."
He turned around and led the way at a speed as fast as teleportation, wanting to see the ugly appearance of the two people who could not keep up with him and were frightened and anxious.
But after walking a few steps, when he looked back, the two men did not distance themselves from him at all and were still following closely behind him.
Yu Qirong saw Xu Zhai stop and look back, but asked him curiously: "Why did you stop?"
"..." Xu Zhai rubbed his face irritably, "It's okay."
Why can’t I get rid of it?
It doesn’t matter, when the time comes, they will still become the same kind as him.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhai's mood slowly brightened.
"Can he really be resurrected?" Fu Yi glanced at Meng Chan, who was twirling Buddhist beads and chanting with his eyes closed, and quickly turned his gaze to Lin Siyue who was lying on the ground.
Lin Siyue's hair was disheveled, blood from her chest seeped through her thick coat, her face was pale, and when the wind blew, the yellow sand on the ground was blown up, as if it was going to bury Lin Siyue's body.
Fu Yi looked very unhappy.
As soon as the lunar eclipse began, he led his men to evacuate from the house with a well and yard, hiding along the way.
Lin Siyue's mood was not very stable, which was completely different from her appearance when she first entered this copy. Fu Yi could vaguely feel it, but he did not expect that she would be so cruel as to stab herself in order to fulfill the legend of resurrection on the day of the lunar eclipse.
If you die in the dungeon, you will not be able to be resurrected in the main god space even if you complete the task.
No one spoke; even Meng Chan fiddled with his Buddhist beads in a very gentle voice, as if he was afraid to wake up the sleeping Lin Siyue.
The wind in Huangsha Village suddenly became stronger, and the air was filled with a rusty and bloody smell.
Fu Yi looked to the side instinctively, and a water ghost that seemed to have just been fished out of the water suddenly appeared beside him. It moved quickly and with twice the strength, and accelerated towards Fu Yi.
Just as the sharp nails were about to touch Fu Yi's face, they were blocked by the golden light shield.
The string of Buddhist beads wrapped around Meng Chan's wrist emitted a light similar to the color of the light shield. It was not difficult to see that this protective shield was summoned by him.
"Ten minutes at most."
Beads of sweat oozed from Meng Chan's forehead, and he spoke with trembling lips.
This is the longest duration he can last.
Fu Yi looked at Lin Siyue, who was lying on the ground with no sign of life. There were also beads of sweat on his face. It was just that the weather was too cold, so the warm body temperature that had just come out turned cold when he slid down.
This bone-chilling chill forced Fu Yi to calm down.
As the captain of this three-person team, he should be responsible for everyone.
Fu Yi secretly made up his mind that if Lin Siyue still couldn't wake up after ten minutes, they should leave this place immediately.
The moon hanging in the sky was like a timer for them.
The moon slowly curved, and its edge became sharper and sharper, like a ruthless scimitar, constantly testing and taking away Fu Yi's breathing space.
The sky gradually darkened as the moon was cut into corners, and the light and shadows on the yellow sand gradually became blurred. Fu Yi was far away and could only see the edge of Lin Siyue's figure, but could not see her current facial expression.
Time is like yellow sand in a funnel, flowing away quickly and evenly.
Meng Chan's expression became increasingly ugly. He whispered to Fu Yi, "I'm almost at my limit."
Fu Yi was still looking at Lin Siyue lying on the ground, his teeth aching from gritting their teeth. At the moment he lost his vision and heard the sound of the protective shield breaking, he wanted to issue an order to retreat, but he heard the rustling sound of someone standing up in front of him.
"Lin Siyue, are you awake?" Fu Yi's face lit up with joy, and then a ray of light shone directly in front of his eyes. He forced himself to look towards the direction of the light source.
Meng Chan held a flashlight in his hand, shining it on the situation on Fu Yi's side. He had a calm expression and did not speak, but motioned Fu Yi to look back.
Fu Yi felt a chill in his heart and had a bad feeling.
Meng Chan almost never showed such an expression and never joked. His behavior only meant that something really happened.
He turned around and saw the pale profile of Lin Siyue who had just crawled up from the ground.
Although she was moving, her body was shaking, as if she could not fully control her body. Her head was drooping, her hands were hanging down, and her body was swaying back and forth uncontrollably. There was no sign of breathing in her chest.
"...Lin Siyue?" Fu Yi paused, lowered his voice, and called Lin Siyue's name softly.
But she seemed not to hear it at all, or maybe she received the signal but didn't care at all.
The flashlight beam moved from the side of Lin Siyue to the front of her, illuminating the water ghost that had originally attacked them. However, the water ghost lost its original aggressiveness and performed the same movements as Lin Siyue.
Fu Yi looked around following Meng Chan's light, and was surprised to see many water ghosts standing there like Lin Siyue, as if they were on standby, but strangely they were all facing in one direction with their heads lowered as if they were worshipping.
Of course, he would not be stupid enough to think that these water ghosts were controlled by Lin Siyue, but Lin Siyue was indeed assimilated.
At this time, the moon that had been completely swallowed up in the sky suddenly appeared again, but this time it was a red color that looked very ominous. A blood moon hung high in the sky, and the yellow sand ground was also blood-red, as if it was originally a sea of blood.
Fu Yi's throat was hoarse and he couldn't speak. He just stared blankly at the blood moon in the sky.
Meng Chan turned off the flashlight in silence.
It is no longer necessary now, the whole earth is as red as blood.
Lin Siyue, who was standing, suddenly moved. Fu Yi subconsciously took a step back, thinking that Lin Siyue was going to attack him, but he saw Lin Siyue took a step forward with her left leg in the direction of the group of water ghosts.
Not only her, but all the "zombies" within their sight were moving slowly in that direction, like unconscious zombies.
At that moment, Fu Yi's mind flashed back to the zombie siege he had experienced before.
If this copy is the same as that copy, then those who remain in the room will most likely be difficult to take care of, and it is even possible that they have become monsters like Lin Siyue.
With so many ghosts heading in the same direction at the same time, something must have happened.
Fu Yi forced himself to put aside his sadness for Lin Siyue and make plans for the remaining two people in the three-person team first.
"Follow them."
Fu Yi followed the group of zombies and ended up at the place where they saw corpses in the afternoon.
All the coffins on the ground were opened, and it was not difficult to see that all the people who died today were resurrected in a form similar to "zombies".
All the zombies that arrived at the location stopped, as if they knew exactly where they were going.
There was no shelter on the yellow sand, and even though so many people were standing there, everyone could be seen because of the hillside.
Especially Yu Qirong and Su Tang are still standing at the highest peak.
When Fu Yi saw the flowing white hair appear and the two people standing between the villagers with strange behavior and looking intact, his heart suddenly tightened and he remembered Lin Siyue's accusations against Yu Qi.
If, if this Yu Qi really lied to them and he is the high-risk NPC in this copy, then doesn’t that mean that the others... ?
He pursed his lips and was about to continue reading, but suddenly his pupils contracted.
At the apex, Xu Zhai, who was standing next to Yu Qirong, suddenly raised his sharp claws that were not like those of a human and attacked towards Yu Qirong.
