Sang Yu took out the mask and placed it under the tree.

The smiling face is pointed towards yourself, and the angry face is pointed towards the tree.

"I want to talk to you about..."

She had gone to so much trouble to find Lady Xi, not just to pass this boring game.

It was quiet all around, with only the rustling sound of wind blowing through the fallen leaves on the ground.

After Sang Yu waited for more than ten seconds, an ethereal voice sounded directly in her mind.

"I know what you want to ask..."

White light suddenly enveloped Sang Yu's body. Sang Yu did not resist and let the space around him change.

When the white light faded, in front of her were countless twisted and entangled tree roots. Those roots were like the tentacles of a monster, and the white rhizomes were covered with hideous bumps. The scene was particularly spectacular.

A dried corpse was surrounded by tree roots, many of which penetrated into the corpse, leaving it riddled with holes.

Sang Yu looked at the corpse in front of him. It was like a dried corpse with all the blood sucked out. The dry muscle texture tightly wrapped around the dried flesh and blood.

Especially its face. Although it retains a human appearance, if you don't look closely, it is difficult to tell that it is a human face.

Like a mask carved out of stone, the skin of that face was covered with rough textures and deep wrinkles. Its eyes and mouth were empty, leaving only three dark holes.

When the audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene, the barrage disappeared briefly.

But just when everyone was in shock... the live broadcast was interrupted.

At the same time, the prompt sound of the game system rang in Sang Yu’s mind.

"Ding, congratulations to player Sang Yu for successfully completing Mission 1: Finding the secret of the villagers' longevity."

"Ding, congratulations to player Sang Yu for successfully completing Mission 3: Finding the missing Lady Xi."

After the announcement, the sound of the game system fell silent.

The corpse entangled by the tree roots suddenly moved, raised its arms and slowly pointed towards Sang Yu.

"I saw the future, and you were already dead by then. I didn't expect..."

"You will appear in front of me again."

Her voice was calm, like meeting an old friend after a long absence, and there was a hint of nostalgia in her calm tone.

Sang Yu looked at her quietly, waiting for her to continue speaking.

She said, "Take out that book!"

Sang Yu's eyes trembled. She naturally knew what the book that Empress Xi was talking about was.

She pulled out the Book of Answers and held it up in both hands.

The eyeballs on the cover of "The Book of Answers" saw the surrounding situation and their blood-red pupils shrank.

Has this fucking gone to hell?

But when it saw the corpse entangled by the tree roots, its eyes became shocked.

"He was afraid of my revenge, so he dug out my eyes and peeled off my skin before burying me in the ground..."

The "he" she was referring to was naturally the village chief of Changshou Village.

The "Book of Answers" in Sang Yu's hand slowly floated in front of the corpse.

The cover of the book was opened by an invisible force, and the soft papers inside were quickly flipped open one by one.

Sang Yu couldn't help feeling guilty when he thought about his harsh criticism of "The Book of Answers".

If she had known that the eyes and pages of the Book of Answers were made of Empress Xi’s eyes and skin, she would have been... a little gentler.

However... the reason why "The Book of Answers" can give a glimpse into the future finally has an answer.

Empress Xi is a god who can predict the future, so her eyes can naturally see part of the future.

But to Sang Yu's surprise, Empress Xi's body did not merge with the "Book of Answers".

She raised a bony hand, with fingertips like sharpened twigs, and casually placed it on one of the pages of the Book of Answers.

Bright red blood suddenly gushed out from the blank page.

The blood seemed to come alive and quickly condensed into several large blood-red words.

——The end is the beginning.

The atmosphere around was dead silent for a moment.

Lady Xi: “…”

Sang Yu: "..."

At the critical moment, "The Book of Answers"'s old habit of talking nonsense came back again.

"Leave it to me!"

Sang Yu took the "Book of Answers" back from Xi Niangniang's hand, and then gently picked its eyeballs.

The bloody words on the Book of Answers changed instantly.

——The truth you want to find is at the end of the game, and it will lead you to find the answer you want.

This passage is easy to understand. After completing all the games, the end will be the truth that Sang Yu is looking for.

But for Sang Yu, she obviously lost her patience.

It was obvious that the truth was just one layer away from being revealed, but everyone was trying their best to hide it from her.

As if afraid that she would face the so-called truth...

Sang Yu closed the Book of Answers in a slightly irritated manner, and asked Lady Xi directly: "Who am I?"

Lady Xi said some useless nonsense: "You need to find it yourself."

Sang Yu: "..."

The truth is out, no wonder "The Book of Answers" likes to talk nonsense!

Sang Yu was silent for a moment and then said: "You must be in a very uncomfortable state now! You know that you have been calculated by humans, but you still willingly let yourself be deceived in order to avoid the fate of disappearing. But like that village chief, you are now... are you still a god?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the corpse entangled by the tree roots flashed a fleeting wave.

Today, Empress Xi is nothing more than a monster that lives on this tree.

If the village chief succeeds, Lady Xi should completely absorb the village chief's flesh and blood and be resurrected.

In the end, the village chief failed... The tree was about to wither and die, and her body could not hold on for much longer.

"Since you saw me die before, but now I am alive and appearing before you, it means that I did not disappear according to my predetermined fate. And you... aren't you curious about why I am still alive?"

Empress Xi's cracked lips moved: "Yes, seeing you again... I am indeed surprised why you are still alive..."

Her death was an inevitable fate, yet she lived well...

Sang Yu raised his eyebrows and continued to deceive: "I can't tell you my answer, but I can promise that as long as you tell me... the answer I want, I will help you get out of your current situation after I find the truth."

Everyone can draw a pie in the sky, and Sang Yu has long mastered the skillful technique.

In order to escape the fate of disappearance, Empress Xi did not hesitate to turn herself into her current ghostly appearance.

So in order to survive, she would not refuse Sang Yu's deal.

After a brief silence, Lady Xi slowly uttered three words: "Tiangong Mountain."

Her dark eye sockets stared at Sang Yu.

"Go there..."

"That's the end..."

With every word she spoke, a crack appeared on her face.

From beneath the cracks, shocking amounts of blood gushed out.

Her body looked like a puppet painted red.

The white light appeared again, and Sang Yu's eyes suddenly went dark.

When she opened her eyes, she was still standing in the yard of the village chief's house.

The big tree in front of me was lifeless, and the smell of decay was getting stronger.

The Book of Answers appeared in her hands, with words written in bright red blood on the pages.

——I'm waiting for you.
