Chapter 41.
"Well, the situation I was in at Old Jin's house before was not right. Now it seems that the townspeople are all controlled by Old Jin. Or, maybe Old Jin is the biggest threat to this instance."
Tang En said: "The harvest celebration that Lao Jin values so much could be a disaster. I think we should..."
Before he could finish his words, a young woman with a scarf wrapped around her head walked in.
She appeared silently at the kitchen door. Tang En looked up and saw her, and was startled for a moment.
Tang Yu turned around to look at the person who came. The woman was staring at the two of them with a smile on her face.
"Is there anything wrong?" Tang Yu didn't know if Lao Jin sent her to tell her something.
The woman smiled and took two more steps inside. She said, "The mayor asked me to help you."
After all, making enough food for the whole town is indeed a big project. Tang Yu feels that it would be very difficult for just him and Tang En to do it.
It’s just right to have one more person now.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Aying who lives in Lianteng Nong." Aying looks very young and her skin is a little pale.
Except for the mayor's family, whose skin color is normal, the skin color of everyone else in the town looks like a pale white color that has not seen sunlight for many years.
Tang Yu nodded politely and said, "Thank you for coming to help."
Ah Ying maintained a smile on her face. She pointed to the cellar at Tang Yu's feet, and a hint of greed flashed across her eyes.
"Should we deal with these animals first?"
Tang Yu always felt that the term "living animal" seemed strange, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she was very curious about what was locked in the cellar.
When Tang Yu was about to nod in agreement, Tang En reached out and pulled her. Aying and Tang Yu looked at him at the same time.
Tang En saw that Ah Ying's eyes were very dark, as if they contained some indescribable erosion.
However, this time, he was strangely not affected at all.
Tang En stammered, "We can handle this ourselves. You, go outside and help sort the ingredients in the warehouse."
Ah Ying stared at Tang En for a while without blinking, and finally smiled and said, "I'll go right away."
Seeing Ah Ying leave, Tang En breathed a sigh of relief and quickly whispered to Tang Yu, "Look, Lao Jin even sent someone to monitor us!"
Tang Yu scratched his head. "It's just cooking. What's there to monitor? I won't eat secretly."
Tang En: “…”
It’s over, his sister seems to be a little bit brainless.
Although Tang Yu couldn't figure out the trick, she could at least sense that something was wrong with the whole thing.
After all, this was a B-level multiplayer instance, and she never forgot that.
Therefore, Tang Yu chose to trust Tang En's judgment.
Aying must be the mayor's man. Aying's arrival may have two purposes: one is to help, and the other is to be responsible for monitoring the two people.
As for what to monitor, based on the limited intelligence currently available, the two had no idea.
Tang En rubbed his temples and guessed, "The mayor might be afraid that we might run away, so he sent someone to keep an eye on us."
Tang Yu thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, she and Tang En were outsiders. It was impossible for the mayor to trust her 100% when entrusting such an important harvest celebration to her.
What if they don't prepare well, or just run away, then wouldn't the harvest celebration be ruined?
After thinking about it, the two felt that this guess was probably correct.
"Then why don't we just stay here and cook?" Tang Yu blinked happily, "I can do that!"
As she spoke, Tang Yu excitedly opened the cellar. She wanted to see what kind of rare animal was locked up inside.
Tang En wanted to talk about his previous speculation about the harvest celebration. He felt that perhaps the celebration should be stopped.
But looking around, this kitchen is indeed a kitchen, and the ingredients in the warehouse are just ordinary ingredients.
Apart from the abnormality of the cook, Tang En really couldn't see anything wrong.
Isn't there something wrong with the harvest festival?
"Hey! Tang En, come here quickly, there are two people here!"
Just as Tang En was thinking hard, Tang Yu's voice came from the cellar.
......
Yang Mingzhe felt something pouring into his mouth, hot, sticky, and weird...
Like a living thing, it went through his mouth and into his stomach, and then instantly spread to all parts of his body, giving him a shocking feeling that struck his soul directly.
Yang Mingzhe suddenly woke up and realized that someone was feeding him something.
what happened?
He remembered that he seemed to have entered the B-level copy with two teammates, and then what?
Oh yes, they encountered a pair of extremely strange old people, two teammates died on the spot, and they seemed to have escaped.
It seemed like he was rescued on the way, but what happened next?
What happened and why can't he remember anything?
No! Was he really rescued?
Yang Mingzhe was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a strange man with a messy hair half-hugging him, holding a coarse porcelain bowl in his hand facing his mouth.
The sticky liquid with a strange smell kept pouring in.
poisonous!
Tang En fed the hot soup cooked by Tang Yu to Yang Mingzhe, but unexpectedly this buddy suddenly woke up and was pushed by him and staggered.
After Yang Mingzhe pushed Tang En away, he turned over and stood up, quickly becoming alert, while at the same time starting to activate his own skills.
Crazy growth!
But it was no use, there was no plant life in the dark cellar except dead hay, not even moss.
Yang Mingzhe's skills are useless here.
What made him even more desperate was that he had no idea what the chicken-coop-haired guy in front of him had given him to drink. At this moment, he just felt weak and wanted to fall asleep.
There was also a woman squatting next to him wearing a red scarf, with long curly and messy hair, and looking at him with a dark gaze like a female monster.
"You! How dare you hurt me!" Yang Mingzhe forced himself to speak.
Under the dim kerosene lamplight, he recognized the jackets on Tang Yu and the other man, and knew that they were participants in the dungeon. He thought they were out to kill for money.
Tang En's head hit the wall and he was now holding his head to fix his pain and didn't want to talk.
Tang Yu stared at Yang Mingzhe and asked seriously, "How do you think it tastes?"
Yang Mingzhe: “???”
The conversation came to an abrupt end as Yang Mingzhe fell asleep, and Tang Yu looked at Yang Mingzhe with regret.
There was another person lying at her feet, it was Tian Xun who had been unconscious since the first day.
When Tang Yu found two people in the cellar, she recognized Tian Xun at a glance. Based on the principle that acquaintances are friends, Tang Yu decided to rescue him.
The pot of mosaic soup she carefully cooked was divided into two bowls, one for Tian Xun and one for Yang Mingzhe.
Yang Mingzhe woke up, but Tian Xun didn't. Tang En checked his breath out of concern and found that he was still alive, so he felt relieved.
The next question is very interesting.
What exactly is the “living animal” that the mayor and Aying are talking about?
There was no other living creature in the entire cellar except these two people, so the answer was self-evident.
This town actually eats people!
Tang Yu and Tang En looked at each other and thought of this at the same time.
"Sister Tang Yu, what should we do?" Tang En's voice couldn't help but tremble.
Tang Yu looked at the two people lying on the ground and didn't know what to do.
She now understood why she felt so weird at the beginning. It turned out that this town had been carrying out this evil sacrificial activity.
It seems that the god they worship is probably not a good thing.
But then again, why did Lao Jin let her prepare the sacrifice?
It made her act like a pervert. If she had known she was going to cook someone, she would definitely not agree!
Tang Yu hesitated for a while, then she leaned close to Tang En and whispered, "Let's take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, we'll find a way to escape."
Aying might be watching them somewhere at this moment, and they must not let her notice anything wrong.
Tang En pointed at Tian Xun and Yang Mingzhe and said worriedly, "Well, what about them? Will the mayor really eat them?"
Tang Yu glanced at the two unconscious people and said, "Let's wait until they wake up. If we can run, let's run together."
After saying that, the two men pretended nothing had happened and walked out of the cellar.
Tang Yu was walking in front, and as soon as he came out of the cellar, he came face to face with Aying's enlarged pale face.
Fortunately, Tang Yu was a man with a big heart and had become accustomed to such frightening scenes after seeing them so many times. Otherwise, others would have screamed out loud.
Staring at the ambiguous smile on Ah Ying's face, Tang Yu calmly picked up the boning knife in his hand.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Ah Ying tried to look past her to see what was going on in the cellar, but she was blocked from seeing anything. She paused before asking, "What are you doing down there?"
Tang Yu said indifferently: "Check the status of the sacrifice."
"Those living animals?" Ah Ying's smile became extremely strange, and her dark eyes flashed with malice and greed. "How about it, it's a great sacrifice, right?"
For some reason, Tang Yu inexplicably disliked Aying's tone. She rarely hated someone, but the Aying in front of her made her feel disgusted.
Just when Tang Yu couldn't help but pick up the knife to chop someone, Aying stood up and made room for her.
"Can I help you?"
Tang Yu silently climbed out of the cellar, turned around and pulled Tang En out, then locked the wooden board covering the cellar.
"unnecessary."
Ah Ying said unwillingly, "Aren't we going to kill the animals now?"
She said it as a matter of course, as if the two living people in the cellar were really just two animals.
Tang Yu did not answer but asked, "You are alive, right?"
The reason why she dared to speak so frankly was that when Ah Ying was very close to her just now, she clearly felt the heat from Ah Ying's body, which was the vitality that only a living person could have.
Although almost ninety-nine percent of humans died after the advent of weirdness, almost no one can live in a world where weirdness is rampant.
But Tang Yu felt that he was an exception. Once there was one exception, there would be a second and a third.
For example, in the town of Guya, there are many exceptions.
Ah Ying paused for a moment, and a bigger smile appeared on her pale face. She said, "You really love to joke. Is there still a dead person in this town?"
Tang Yu looked at her silently and added in his heart: Yes, it’s Mrs. Tang.
When she first entered the dungeon, the first resident she came into contact with was Mrs. Tang. At that time, she felt that there was a heavy aura of decadence around Mrs. Tang.
Later, the mayor confirmed that Mrs. Tang had been dead for a long time.
As she had guessed at first, this town was a place where the living and the dead coexisted.
As for why the dead people here can still survive in the town, and the living people can still live here safely after the weirdness comes, perhaps it is because of the harvest festival.
Celebrating the harvest and giving thanks to the gods sounds like such a simple and folk festival.
However, behind that are countless evil man-eating sacrifices, which makes people feel horrified just thinking about it.
Now that I think about it, the townspeople's strange looks at these participants have an explanation.
That kind of sticky kindness and enthusiasm.
In the eyes of the townspeople, these people are not strangers at all, but sacrifices that can bring supreme welfare to the town.
Such well-being requires the exchange of their lives.
I can only say that sometimes people are scarier than evil spirits!
