Chapter 236 You Are Not Meticulous at All
The so-called cipher scroll is actually the size of an A4 paper, but it is a little thick. If it is folded up and someone eats it, it might get stuck in the throat.
However, Lin Yun did not have this kind of trouble. Even if something was stuck in his throat, it was not his throat, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Chu Han saw Lin Yun approaching step by step, and could only step back. He asked with a puzzled look: "Why do you treat me like this? Didn't we agree to cooperate sincerely?"
"I wanted to cooperate, but you tried to deceive me and didn't pay attention to the details. You ruined my gentleness!"
Lin Yun spread his hands helplessly and said, "I have always been a gentle and easy-going person, and I am also very sincere to my friends. However, if someone wants to cheat me, I will not show mercy."
Chu Han: "..."
Do you have any misunderstanding about being elegant and easy-going?
Seeing that Chu Han seemed a little speechless, Lin Yun also felt insulted. What? Is my self-evaluation wrong?
"Do you have any objection?"
"No, no, no."
Chu Han gave in quickly. Lin Yun had already forced him into a corner. Bai Jiaojiao and Xiao Qing stood on both sides, blocking his escape route. However, Lin Yun did not act rashly, but instead used force to intimidate him.
There was nothing in this temple except for some murals. The simpler they were, the more Lin Yun felt something was wrong, so he tried not to make too much noise.
"Then tell me first, what would happen if I ate this in the temple?"
Chu Han didn't want to say anything at first, but seeing that Lin Yun was about to stuff everything into his mouth if he didn't say it, he had no choice but to give in.
"It will turn into a fog beast."
"It is true."
Chu Han found that Lin Yun was not surprised at all, and immediately asked in surprise: "You knew it a long time ago?"
"It's just a rough guess. You said there were 152 people in the village, and we killed 117 of them. There should be 35 people in the temple, but there were only 30. And we just happened to kill five fog beasts, so the number is exactly right. You don't think I would ignore such a small detail, do you?"
Chu Han: "..."
He didn't know that Lin Yun killed five, not three?
"You can guess it based on this alone?"
Chu Han felt that it was unreasonable and the evidence was obviously insufficient!
Lin Yun looked at Chu Han like he was a fool and said, "Don't you know what it means to make a bold assumption and verify it carefully? I first made a blind guess that a fog beast is closely related to your Hidden Mist Village, and then the numbers coincided, so I made another bold guess. Isn't this enough to draw a conclusion?"
Chu Han: "..."
Is this kind of operation possible?
By now they were almost ready to talk openly.
Lin Yun commented: "Let me make another bold guess. You do want to leave the village, but you need outsiders like us as sacrifices. The method is probably that we eat the secret scroll, which will attract some kind of existence, and you can take the opportunity to escape.
We have become like those villagers. When we leave the village, we become fog beasts, and when we return to the village, we become villagers again."
"Why don't you consider that I really do want to help you leave?"
Chu Han was suddenly confused. Aren’t all outsiders simple, kind and easy to fool? Why is Bai Yun so difficult to deal with?
"Your acting is terrible, and you don't pay attention to details. You should have spotted us in the woods a long time ago, but you pretended not to see us until I released the lightning. Then you pretended to be attracted. In fact, you could see everything in the fog."
Chu Han: "..."
He had not noticed it until Lin Yun mentioned it. Whether he was being carried away by Lin Yun or talking about the custom of not having light when he returned to the village, it revealed that he could see things in the dark fog.
If doubts are left during the first meeting, there will be no way to build trust afterwards.
It’s such a pity that he lost!
Chu Han didn't know that even if his details were correct, Lin Yun would not believe him.
It is right to assume the worst of people you don't know. As long as you think badly of the other person, you will be able to guard against any bad ideas he comes up with.
This is called foresight.
"Since you already know everything, I won't hide it from you. I am the only living person in the Hidden Mist Village."
Chu Han tried to see shock on Lin Yun's face, but there was none.
Lin Yun's face seemed to say "That's it", "I guessed it", "And then"...
Chu Han was very good at being able to interpret Lin Yun's expression.
"My father is a temple priest, so I know more secrets about the temple. The god we believe in, the fog, is indeed dead, but his power has not dissipated, and his true spirit is still wandering. His body turned into fog, enveloping the Hidden Mist Village and everything around it, forming a secret place isolated from the world. This place is no longer the human world."
"oh."
Lin Yun remained calm.
He had been mentally prepared. After all, there was no sun or moon in the sky, and it didn't look like the human world at all.
But I really have no words to say about my luck. I just came out for a walk and walked into a fog, and I could die directly. What else can I say?
Now that he was here, Lin Yun no longer expected to gain any treasures. He just hoped that he could go back alive.
"The people of Kirigakure are all descendants of the fog. Under the erosion of the fog, they have become monsters. The fog has left an entrance in the human world, and living creatures often come here and become food for the villagers. This is the gift of the fog. However, the number of living creatures coming to the village has gradually decreased. In the past few decades, there has been no living creature at all.
Many villagers died of starvation. I was afraid they would eat me, and they would definitely do so, so I had to leave. ”
After hearing this, Lin Yun finally couldn't help but complain: "Is your Da Wu stupid? He keeps catching a sheep and plucking it. Can't he plucking the sheep bald?"
Green Snake had introduced the Ghost Fog Forest before. This fog is only in the depths of the Misty Forest, and its range of activity is limited. Those who were caught in the trap at the beginning were caught off guard. Once the reputation of the Ghost Fog Forest spread, no one would dare to enter the Ghost Fog Forest anymore.
"If I were Da Wu, I would let some people leave alive and give them some benefits. The living people would spread the word that the ghost fog is full of opportunities, and then many more people would come to find the Hidden Mist Village. If you let one-tenth of them go back, wouldn't there be a constant flow of people coming? This is called sustainable development.
As a result, you kill everyone who comes, leaving no one alive. Isn't it only a matter of time before they starve to death?"
Chu Han: "..."
What you said makes sense, but are you really a human being?
At this time, another person's voice appeared in the temple.
"That's a great idea, I'll do that next time."
The old man Chu Huai walked into the temple, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, which gave off the aura of a boss entering the scene.
Suddenly, Lin Yun said, "Here comes my brother!"
Chu Huai: “…”
He suddenly couldn't put his raised foot down...
ps: I overslept today and was unable to finish a chapter in the morning. Then I had lunch and started to slowly follow the plot.
As expected, I still think it’s smoother to write about driving plots, just step on the accelerator and it’s done. But a book can’t be all about driving. I know you don’t like to read it (this is a lie), so there still needs to be some plot support.
But when it comes to writing the plot, it's slow. The characters' lines, their mental journeys, and foreshadowing are slow to write. I don't know how much I can update today. Anyway, I will definitely finish writing the plot of the Hidden Mist Village today. I will save it up and post it all together. I am posting one chapter now to explain why I am late today.
