Chapter 24: Fengling Deserted Village
Satisfied Meng Yunqi continued to watch the show.
"Didn't any of you hear the system prompt clearly?" the middle-aged player who had just made the move continued.
Someone was unconvinced and argued: "What escape game? This is ridiculous. Who knows if it's your conspiracy." The criticism was directed at the middle-aged player.
When the others heard this, they had different expressions on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking.
The middle-aged player spat: "I don't need to go to such great lengths to kill you."
"Everyone, sit down quietly, turn on your screens and look carefully. If you don't believe me, you can climb out from the roof and take a look."
After saying that, he pointed to the iron movable lock on the top of the bus.
"If you want to die now, I don't mind giving you a ride. Killing is not allowed in Central City, but here..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, just glanced at everyone coldly.
His attack just now was fast and accurate. The player who had contradicted him knew that he could not beat him, so he lost his temper and sat down obediently.
Mo Weiqian looked at the middle-aged player in a suit smoking by the window. He had dark circles under his eyes and a scruffy beard. If he washed himself properly, he would have a handsome appearance. Judging from his attire, he should be a social animal. Does the central city also work 996?
Although the act of reminding the players out loud was not gentle, Mo Weiqian also felt the goodwill. Every veteran player knew how to protect themselves, so even if he smashed the car window, it probably wouldn't have any impact.
But it is hard to say whether these new players can survive.
The ants finally forced themselves to calm down, and sat down one by one to quietly look at the copy information.
The carriage returned to silence and the vehicle continued to move slowly.
Mo Weiqian was studying his resentment value at the moment. After returning to reality, he found that he could check the resentment value level but could not upgrade it.
Just now in the system space, he was not given any time to operate, so it was just right to use the current gap.
500 sin points were just enough to advance to the next level, but the level symbols were all in words he couldn't understand, like the Roman words engraved on stone tablets in ancient Egypt.
After the upgrade, Mo Weiqian didn't notice any other changes except that his body felt a lot lighter.
He looked at the screen meaningfully. Damn it, I wasn't going to be tricked again.
Knowing that Mo Weiqian was checking the panel, Meng Yunqi obediently did not disturb him. He just acted as a guardian and kept watch on the surroundings. However, looking at the wonderful expression on his elder brother's face, he still wanted to ask, "Brother, what did you see that makes your expression so vivid?"
---
After a while, the vehicle stopped in front of a gray mountain village. The thick fog enveloped the village but did not invade the interior, as if to isolate the village from the world.
There seemed to be someone standing at the entrance of the village.
Without caring about other people's expressions, Meng Yunqi didn't want to waste time and pulled Mo Weiqian out of the car.
As soon as they saw someone moving, the people in the car rushed out.
Most of the houses in the village are low bungalows made of blue bricks and gray tiles. The distance is blocked by mountains when you look straight ahead, and there seems to be a tall building in the depths.
There are a few big red words written on the signpost at the entrance of the village: Fengling Village.
Mo Weiqian turned his attention back to the present.
Recalling the copy information, this person should be the village chief.
In the light of the red lanterns at the door, Mo Weiqian finally saw the village chief coming towards him.
The village chief was of medium build and not very tall. He wore a floral silk double-breasted shirt. He had a protruding belly, small eyes that always showed shrewdness, and no smile on his round face.
The copy introduction said that everyone in Fengling Village, from the village chief to the villagers, was warm and hospitable. Looking at this deserted village without any human presence, and the village chief with a fierce face, as if he owed him eight million.
This is totally false advertising, I have reported it.
The village chief counted the number of people and calmly led everyone into the village, mechanically introducing the scenery and history of the village along the way.
There are many forked roads in the village, but the houses are all similar in size. Without the guidance of the village chief, it is hard to avoid getting lost.
The distance between each tiled house is not far, and you can hear the villagers walking around and the children crying inside...
The further you go, the more shrines and temples that are dilapidated like candles in the wind...
"There are so many dilapidated temples. It's creepy."
"Don't look around, this place is very spooky."
There was a murmur in the team, but the village chief just kept walking forward as if he didn't hear it.
Meng Yunqi: "Brother, there is something strange about this place, follow me closely."
Mo Weiqian nodded and continued to look around. What surprised him was that the tall buildings he saw flash by on the bus disappeared after entering the village.
Could it be that he saw it wrong?
After walking aimlessly for more than ten minutes, the village chief showed no intention of stopping, so the players had no choice but to keep up.
Village chief: "I will tell you about tonight's accommodation after entering the ancestral hall. This is the current situation of our village. If you have any questions, you can ask now."
The village chief spoke very quickly as if he was sure that no one would dare to ask questions.
The next second, a cold voice broke into everyone's ears.
Mo Weiqian smiled sincerely and said, "Village Chief, I have a question. Since this is Fengling Village, of course we worship the gods. But I see that most of the temples in the village are dilapidated and no one has been worshipping for a long time. I hope the village chief can answer my questions."
Hearing this, the village chief stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Mo Weiqian with an ambiguous look. It took him a long while to force a smile, and his eyes were filled with shrewd calculations.
Meng Yunqi raised his foot to block in front of Mo Weiqian. Mo Weiqian pulled his sleeve to indicate that it was okay, but Meng Yunqi did not retreat at all.
Mo Weiqian felt warm in his heart. It was great that the little carrot head had grown up. When he was little, he clamored to protect him, but now it was no longer a childhood joke.
A second before the village chief spoke, his expression was filled with enthusiasm, which was completely different from the cold and distant look they saw now.
Seeing this, the players around him were frightened and scattered.
The village chief's gaze rested on Mo Weiqian, and he said vaguely:
"Because our village has welcomed the true God, we naturally don't need that."
After saying this, he seemed to remember something and showed a hint of contempt. Then he stopped talking to Mo Weiqian and led everyone to the ancestral hall.
"If you don't know your own worth, don't talk to people casually. Can you afford to pay for killing them?"
The person who spoke was a young man named Jiang An. He had a slicked-back hair, exaggerated earrings, and some face paint, looking like a joker.
He was one of those who wanted to get off the bus just now, and Mo Weiqian had an impression of him.
Hearing this, Meng Yunqi's face darkened visibly, and he stared at Jiang An as if he were a dead person.
Mo Weiqian raised his hand to hold Meng Yunqi down and said:
"Don't worry, if you die here, I will burn paper for you when I get out, which will be regarded as a token of our friendship that we just met by chance."
"Beauty, luxury cars, villas, I'll give you the whole package when you go out, and there will be absolutely no repetition."
Jiang An didn't expect Mo Weiqian to retort, and when he glanced sideways he saw the ferocious red-haired man next to him who looked like he wanted to eat someone. For a moment he kept saying "you...you" for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
