Chapter 8: Ghost Town (VII)



The moment Heichuan saw Li Rushi, he almost pounced on him. Kerry, with a sullen face, also walked towards Li Rushi.

Li Rushi turned his body to avoid Heichuan's pounce. Seeing that Heichuan's clothes had several big holes and his face was dirty, he knew that they were probably attacked last night.

As expected, Kurokawa pushed Sakuraxue aside and stood next to Li Rushi. He wanted to grab Li Rushi's arm, but when Li Rushi glanced at him, he didn't dare to do anything and put his hand down awkwardly.

Yingxue on the side snorted indignantly, stood on the other side of Li Rushi, next to Pug, and stuck closely to Li Rushi.

Li Rushi ignored the secret glances between Yingxue and Kurokawa. She took a few steps forward, walked to the bottom of the platform, and put down the NPC she was carrying on her shoulders.

"Mr. Yang, these are the sheep we brought, take a look." Li Rushi looked up and met Mr. Yang's incomprehensible eyes.

The NPC was gagged, and kept making noises, twisting on the ground, twisting towards Old Yang. Old Yang put away his smile and stared at Li Rushi as if he was looking at prey. The thin old man said slowly: "Ah Le, are you sure this is your sheep?"

Li Rushi nodded: "Of course, no matter whose sheep it was before, once I catch it, it's mine. Oh, I have a dead sheep, I can give it to you if you want."

Yang Lao was so angry that he laughed: "A Le? You really don't understand? Don't break the rules!"

Li Rushi didn't know what Old Yang meant, but she could vaguely sense that the rules Old Yang mentioned were the focus of this copy.

So Li Rushi also laughed: "Mr. Yang, I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean that I caught the sheep and broke the rules?"

Old Yang's eyes slowly turned red, and his nails suddenly grew longer, sharp and glowing purple. He shouted loudly, and the villagers on the high platform immediately rushed towards Li Rushi.

Old Yang's cloudy eyes gradually turned greedy. He smiled defiantly and waved his wooden cane: "Yang Le from Yangjia Town is not following the rules. Arrest him and whip him!"

The eyes of the townspeople nearby also changed. Although they were dull, they were still responsive. Now they were empty. Looking at the knives and swords they took out, it was clear that they were well prepared.

Li Rushi had long suspected that they were insane and controlled by others, and now he saw that it was indeed the case.

Now is not the time to worry about these things. Li Rushi looked at Yingxue and others who were trembling with fear behind him, gave them a look, and quickly ran away.

Kurokawa and Sakuraxue were both stunned, but Mr. Yang only said to arrest "Yang Le" and didn't say to arrest anyone else, so they had no choice but to stand there.

Elder Yang looked at them angrily: "Why don't you go and catch that unruly boy?"

Although Pug was tall, he was not stupid. He pulled Yingxue behind him and bowed to Mr. Yang: "Mr. Yang, we will go right away, right away."

Only then did Elder Yang nod his head, and he did not forget to remind him: "Qingyu, be careful, take care of your stomach."

Yingxue stumbled as she was dragged by Pagla. What? Watch your stomach?

What happened to her stomach?

Li Rushi deliberately provoked Mr. Yang.

It was inconvenient for her to do anything with Yingxue and Pug, so it was better for her to act alone. In order to ensure their safety, Li Rushi deliberately angered Yang Lao in order to attract the firepower to herself, thus giving other players some breathing time.

Of course, if the player chooses to die in the middle of this process, there is nothing that can be done.

The thrilling scene just now also brought her a wave of attention. However, many viewers did not quite understand.

[Why did Brother Shield do that? He offended the NPC on the second day. What will he do in the future? ]

[If Shield Brother is not here, what should other players do? ]

[Am I the only one who thinks Xuanzhi is particularly irresponsible? If he runs away, what will happen to the others? ]

[Yes, they trusted you so much, but you just left and left them there]

[Let's take a break upstairs. Brother Dun must have his own intentions, right? ]

Li Rushi found a cellar and hid in it. The cellar was dug very deep and looked like it could be used as a trench. There was no food stored in it. It was empty, with only some bones scattered on the ground. There was no light underground. Li Rushi used a Fire Spirit Technique to illuminate this small world.

After finding a good place to stay, Li Rushi began to answer questions from the comments. She sighed helplessly. "Thank you for your attention. First of all, I don't ignore other players. I did it for a reason. I will tell you about it later. Secondly, it's the second day now. We still know very little about the story of Yangjia Town. If we want to continue, it's the fastest and safest for me to act on my own. I put them there, not to abandon them, but to let the townspeople focus on me. This is the best arrangement for them."

Many people in the comments believed what she said, but many others scoffed at her, thinking she was just shirking responsibility. Li Rushi didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing, so she said, "Everyone saw what happened just now. Let me explain it to you."

"Just now, the eyes of the townspeople were empty, and their every move was like that of puppets tied by strings. In this case, we usually suspect puppetry. Puppetry is a kind of manipulation technique. The master controls the life and death of the puppet by holding the strings in his hands, or gives instructions to the puppet through sound and movement. Then, after the puppet is hit, the whole body will be powerless and at the mercy of the master. But everyone also saw that Mr. Yang standing on the high platform did not use any tone or movement to give clear instructions to the townspeople. So, excluding puppetry, I suspect that they are vengeful spirits."

Who hasn't seen puppetry in novels? I never thought it would actually appear in real life!

Chinese people always hold the idea that it is better to believe something than not to believe it. As soon as Li Rushi said this, some viewers immediately started posting comments, sharing their own experiences, or asking questions to ask Li Rushi if he could tell fortunes.

Li Rushi laughed: "I am currently completing the game, so I won't accept the fortune-telling mission for now. Let's continue talking about the resentful spirits."

Facts show that there are many experts among the people. There are also many viewers watching Li Rushi’s live broadcast. Who’s family or relatives have not seen some strange things?

Immediately, an audience member came out to explain in the barrage: "The vengeful spirit is a person who died with hatred. After death, the resentment does not dissipate. Although the body is gone, the resentment is still there. It can also transform into a human body. When it is stimulated in a certain way, it will attack. There was a woman in our village who was abandoned and jumped to her death. As a result, some people said that they saw her again at the residence of the scumbag. Later, the scumbag died for no reason. Now the case has not been solved. People around him say that it was the vengeful spirit who did it."

Li Rushi nodded and praised the audience: "You are right. If it is not suicide, murder, or accident, then this factor can be considered."

The live broadcast room became lively again. Usually, you have to pay to find someone to tell your fortune, but now there is a ready-made one here. Although he is the leader of a mysterious sect and no one knows how capable he is, it’s okay to ask if you have nothing to do. It doesn’t hurt, so everyone started asking again, and some also shared things happening around them.

Li Rushi continued to sort out the story line of the dungeon and also took the time to answer questions from the audience. During this time, a dong dong dong sound was heard floating from above. Li Rushi raised her eyebrows. If she couldn't find it on the ground, she should look underground. Perhaps, she should move to another place.

Xi Jun's face was slightly cold: "Hasn't Kerry sent any news yet?"

The inspector at the side shook his head: "Not yet, but in the dungeon that Kerry entered, there was a player named "Xuanzhi" who claimed to be the leader of some sect and seemed to be quite powerful."

Xi Jun immediately asked the tester to retrieve the content about "Xuanzhi" in the Ghost Town copy. There are many edited versions of this content on the Internet. Xi Jun took a quick look and found that this player was actually using ancient martial arts.

This is very strange. He knows ancient martial arts and is the head of a sect. Could he really be a reclusive person? It seems that I have to report this to my superiors.

Xi Jun looked solemn: We need to pay special attention to this person. If he is really capable, we must get him here at all costs.
