true and false
The old man shook his head, "No, I'm afraid at night too."
Yu Xiaoye: "It's only half an incense stick's length from Xiaoqing Mountain to the village. Grandfather usually lives in the village."
The old man nodded. "Well, anyway, with the four Taoist priests from the Jueqing Sect here, no bandits would dare to come to Xiaoqingshan. When the sun is about to set, I will lock the door and return to the village."
At this point, he smiled bitterly and said, "The villagers are still good. They don't look down on old men."
Yu Xiaoye comforted him, "Aunt, my sister must have her own reasons."
The old man sighed, "I know she has her own difficulties, so I didn't go..."
The two men sat with the old man for a while, and when the sun went down, they left with the old man.
As the moon gradually became fuller, Ruan Zhaozhao quietly came to Gong Ziyu's residence again.
He was still dancing around the room by himself, just like last night.
But this time, Ruan Zhaozhao saw that there seemed to be a corpse hanging in his room. Gong Ziyu was kneeling on the ground, reverently holding up the pair of pale feet.
Ruan Zhaozhao frowned unconsciously.
The system thought she was scared. After all, she was only a five-year-old child and would still be frightened by the villain's terrifying behavior. "Host, if you are afraid, you can try something else first."
"Scared?" Ruan Zhaozhao pinched her nose in disgust. "I just think he's too unhygienic. That's a corpse puppet. I don't know how long it's been since those feet were washed."
I was careless.
The system continued to silently repeat "I am a professional" in its mind, "How did the host know that it was a corpse puppet?"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "I knew it last night when I turned over the coffin."
At her first birthday party, her father called all the villains in the City That Never Sleeps, lined them up, and introduced them to her one by one. The old wizard who could control corpses even controlled corpse puppets to perform a dance for her in public.
The system wondered what Ruan Zhaozhao would do tonight.
But she only looked for a while, until Gong Ziyu's "Cause and Effect Killing Value" dropped again, and Ruan Zhaozhao looked up and looked around.
Her gaze was fixed on the sky.
System: "What did the host discover?"
Ruan Zhaozhao: “Not sure yet.”
She made a threatening gesture to the huddled crows, climbed down the courtyard wall, and walked down the mountain path to the charity cemetery.
The lock of the charity cemetery was rusty, but Ruan Zhaozhao opened it in two moves.
Ruan Zhaozhao checked each coffin one by one, confirming that there were bodies inside, then turned and closed the door...
·
Tick, tick.
Gong Ziyu's mouth was full of the taste of blood.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and realized that he had bitten his tongue.
But if not, he would not be able to escape from this endless illusion.
Gong Ziyu was in a daze. He stood up with the help of the table and suddenly hit his foot above his head.
He looked up and saw that it was a corpse, and he felt calm instead.
I walked outside and looked at the sky, and sure enough, the bright moon was covered by dark clouds.
The next moment, the dark clouds drifted away.
The scene in front of Gong Ziyu changed. He immediately grabbed the door frame, took a few steps back, and slammed his head against the table.
A gentle voice came from behind, "Yu'er."
It's fake, all fake...
Gong Ziyu called out to herself in her heart for a thousand times, but in the end, she still responded with a wry smile, "Mom."
Ruan Zhaozhao climbed up the wall and saw Gong Ziyu starting another solo performance.
She looked up at the sky. "The moon is out."
The system didn't pay any attention to the changes in the moon.
Gong Ziyu didn't know how long he struggled in this illusion.
Seeing dark clouds covering the moon again, he fell to the ground, and in a trance he felt something holding him up.
The body seemed to fly.
This feeling of weightlessness didn't last long. Soon, Gong Ziyu felt himself landing on the soft ground.
He struggled to open his eyes and saw the moon emerging from the clouds.
Someone pushed him up from behind, and the voice was very vague in his ears, "...House...Suffer..."
What?
Gong Ziyu was able to see his surroundings clearly, but the hairs on his body stood up.
In front of me is the gate of the Gong family ancestral hall.
He panicked for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he had already been in the Jueqing Sect.
Is this an illusion?
Or is it true?
He can't tell the difference.
At this time, Gong Ziyu discovered that there were other people in the ancestral hall.
In front of the ancestral tablet at the deepest part sat a woman in red, her long hair flowing, holding a white candle. On either side of her, extending to the front door, stood a number of people in black.
Young and old, all wore masks, which, illuminated by the single light from the white candle, appeared smooth and delicate.
He was frozen in place by a huge shudder.
Suddenly, Gong Ziyu felt a small hand on his back.
The vague voice became clearer, as if it was right next to his ear, "Second Brother, enjoy it!"
The next moment he was pushed into the ancestral hall and the door behind him slammed shut.
Gong Ziyu's eyes widened, and he turned around and rushed towards the door.
This is the door to the Gong family ancestral hall.
He couldn't open it before, and he can't open it now.
Moonlight poured in from the ceiling of the ancestral hall.
Gong Ziyu didn't dare to turn around, as those people were already approaching.
They were muttering the so-called "ancient language", and every word was like a needle piercing Gong Ziyu's nerves.
"This is not true, none of this is true..." Gong Ziyu closed his eyes tightly and murmured.
He escaped from the Gong family a long time ago!
It’s all fake, fake!
Suddenly, Gong Ziyu felt a cold hand touching his cheek.
The touch felt so real that it broke the last line of defense in his heart.
It was the woman in red. Gong Ziyu looked at her face, which was 80% similar to his own, for a long time. His gaze fell on the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye that looked like a cinnabar dot. He smiled bitterly and said, "I should have thought of it earlier."
"Sister, sister, you're already dead, why are you still pestering me?"
·
"Host, I think there's something wrong with the way he went in just now." The system was worried. "His 'Cause and Effect Killing Value' has already exceeded 90!"
It’s almost over 100, and it turns dark directly, with no room for maneuver!
Ruan Zhaozhao sat on a rock and ate an orange. The orange was so sour that it made her squint her eyes and shudder as soon as she took a bite. "Don't panic."
The system couldn't help but ask: "Why did you lock him up in the charity cemetery?"
"Doesn't he like corpses?" Ruan Zhaozhao put the remaining half into his pocket and asked in surprise, "Corpse Control requires dealing with corpses. Otherwise, how can he fight the protagonist in the future?"
System: "Control corpse?"
Ruan Zhaozhao held her chin in her hand, a hint of worry written all over her young face. "Is it really impossible to switch to a different system?"
The system had no choice but to tell the truth: "Host, I received very little information about this mission. But I am on your side. Your methods... are not acceptable to just any system."
If it were those newly-installed systems, they would probably have been scared by Ruan Zhaozhao and would have given up their mission.
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Second Brother makes corpse puppets to control corpses. The corpses follow his actions and can attack the protagonist. But his level is quite average. The corpse puppets made by top corpse controllers look no different from living people."
He must be a top villain.
Ruan Zhaozhao shook his head and sighed, "System, I've been watching for two nights. What's going on with Second Brother? Haven't you figured it out yet?"
System: “Wha-what?”
Ruan Zhaozhao raised his voice: "He's not good at studying!"
system:"???"
"To become a great villain, besides sheer willpower, you also need superb skills. Do you know how miserable a defeated villain is? The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy! The full moon night is the perfect time to practice corpse puppetry. What a great opportunity, but he's wasting his time."
Ruan Zhaozhao crossed his arms and shook his head. "Just wait and see. He even made a ghost doll just to be cute. He's obviously a laggard. His kill value is definitely going to drop."
It's numb.
The system is completely numb.
boom--!
The door of the charity cemetery was kicked open.
The door panel flew away from Ruan Zhaozhao. She grabbed a hand and slowed it down, causing it to hit a tree.
Even though Ruan Zhaozhao's explanation made sense, the system still felt uneasy.
Ruan Zhaozhao, however, walked to the door as if nothing had happened.
The smoke and dust cleared, revealing a dead body with its eyes closed.
"Junior Sister?"
Ruan Zhaozhao tilted his head and saw Gong Ziyu standing behind the dead body.
He held half an arm in his hand.
The fracture is not neat, and you can tell it was torn off forcefully.
The white clothes on his body were not dirty because the whole room was full of old corpses.
The system couldn't believe it.
The "Cause and Effect Killing Value" has really dropped!
The reduction is even greater than Wenren Yi's.
Gong Ziyu looked at Ruan Zhaozhao calmly, "Junior sister, were you the one who locked me up?"
Ruan Zhaozhao nodded generously, "Yes."
She poked her head in and vaguely saw arms and legs scattered on the ground. "Second Brother, have you taken them all apart?"
Gong Ziyu said "hmm", "Why are you doing this?"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Second Brother likes to have close contact with the dead."
A smile slipped across Gong Ziyu's lips, "How did you know?"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "I climbed the wall for two days."
Gong Ziyu: "Why..."
Ruan Zhaozhao: "The crows in your yard are bullying me."
Gong Ziyu: “…”
He remembered that it was indeed the first day Yu Xiaoye took Ruan Zhaozhao for a stroll that the group of crows bullied people.
They just like to scare children, but they just scare them and never really hurt them.
Hearing that bunch of beasts gathering together to plot revenge on someone, it turned out that they were plotting revenge on him, their junior sister.
But it seems that they didn't expect that this child was not easy to mess with.
Gong Ziyu suddenly stretched out his hand.
Ruan Zhaozhao didn't move, her eyes followed his palm, and then she felt a pat on her head.
"It's late, you should go back to bed."
System: "That's it?"
Gong Ziyu's reaction was just as strange as Wenren's.
Ruan Zhaozhao had achieved his goal and said, "Oh," "Second Brother, there's a corpse keeper here. If you mess up the funeral home like this, Grandpa will find out."
Gong Ziyu was speechless at first, but then he couldn't help laughing.
His laughter was so sharp and eerie that it startled a flock of birds.
"I'll sew them up and put them back in the coffin." Gong Ziyu bent down and promised her word by word, "I'll also fix the door."
"Okay then." Ruan Zhaozhao casually stuffed the uneaten half of the orange into his hand, "Good night, Second Brother."
Watching Ruan Zhaozhao walk away briskly, Gong Ziyu looked down at the half orange in his palm.
Gong Ziyu looked up at the round jade plate in the sky.
The orange peel was cold, and the moment Ruan Zhaozhao touched his fingers, they were warm.
It's not fake, it's real.
After hesitating for a while, Gong Ziyu put a slice of orange into his mouth.
Pah, pah, pah, so sour.
On the way back, the system was still digesting the fact that Ruan Zhaozhao had succeeded.
Fortunately, it was professional and quickly accepted the fact.
No matter what kind of cat it is, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.
The system was even looking forward to what Ruan Zhaozhao would do next.
I have converted two villains, but what about the other two?
Ruan Zhaozhao yawned. "My father said we should combine work and rest. Let's rest for half a month, oh no, maybe a month."
system:"?"
