The fifth personality, the nightmare starts with a dual identity

This was the second night after arriving here. Xu Feng observed the situation outside through the window.

Some clues were found yesterday, but it is still too early to crack the current situation.

Now I want to go out, but I am blocked by people wandering nearby.

This person was not here yesterday, but he is here today.

Xu Feng couldn't be tough, so he could only wait in the room.

Unfortunately, that person didn't leave until late at night.

Xu Feng simply didn't bother to pay attention anymore and lay on the bed analyzing the current situation.

The festival, the sacrifices, and the leader are now basically clear.

Although it may not be completely correct, the general process should be like this.

According to known information, the festival will be held in a few days, and Xu Feng does not have much time.

Physical destruction is the most reckless option, and Xu Feng will not use it until it is critical.

Moreover, the ability to transform into a regulator is locked here, so Xu Feng has to find some way to physically destroy it.

Taking this as a backup plan, Xu Feng still focused on internal disassembly.

But there is another direction besides this, which is to try to send Xiao Xudong's family away.

According to the rules of the trial, this road is destined to be full of difficulties.

But if Xiao Xudong leaves on his own initiative and it is an internal matter, there should still be a chance.

However, it is unlikely, so it can only be regarded as a slightly inferior solution.

The most important thing is the relationship with Shu Gao. Anyway, Xu Feng now regards Shu Gao as a breakthrough point.

Early the next morning, Xu Feng appeared near Shugao's house.

If you want to get closer, you have to create at least a few chance encounters.

Xiao Xudong's family will go to Yuanhai today. They originally wanted to take Xu Feng with them, but Xu Feng refused directly.

He didn't move much on the boat yesterday and seemed to have some signs of seasickness. Xiao Xudong didn't say anything.

He just said that after the offshore project is over, a few people can rest for a few more days, and then they can go around nearby.

Xu Feng just smiled and said nothing. It was easy to come, but it would be a bit difficult to leave.

Xu Feng, who was wandering around, did not miss this opportunity, and Shu Gao quickly went out.

He didn't know what he was trying to throw away, but he looked suspicious when he saw Xu Feng.

"Don't tell me you're lost again."

Xu Feng said with a smile on his face, "How is that possible? You underestimate me too much."

"I know the village well now and won't get lost again."

Shugao just looked at Xu Feng coldly without saying anything, then ignored him, took his things and walked towards the outside of the village.

It's some garbage, thrown away centrally.

Xu Feng was not in a hurry and followed slowly.

He said nonchalantly, "Are there any traditions and stories about the festival? I have always been interested in this aspect, so please tell me."

Xu Feng is serious, not only to build a relationship with Shu Gao, but also to use Shu Gao to understand the past story.

In order to find the direction of breakthrough, Xu Feng was not willing to miss even one step.

Shu Gao was originally annoyed, but when he heard Xu Feng mention the festival and the past, he hesitated for a while.

It's not appropriate to talk about this with outsiders, but in a village like this, where even two of his peers are not on his side, who can he talk to about his thoughts?

Moreover, the village has been sealed, and the power of the divine power envelopes the place. Xu Feng cannot leave before the end of the festival.

So Shugao sighed softly and told Xu Feng about the village's past.

"Lakeview Village was originally just a remote and poor place. Young people couldn't wait to leave. For a certain period of time, Lakeview Village seemed to disappear at any time."

Chaos, hunger.

No one cares about such a remote village.

Although people rely on mountains to eat, those who live by the sea will not be hungry.

But as young people pass by, older people slowly lose their ability to take care of themselves.

The reality is so terrifying. In an atmosphere of near despair, a person suddenly said that he had obtained the will of God.

The gods promise a good harvest, and the gods promise good health, as long as appropriate sacrifices are made, and the villagers' inner piety is given.

"I don't know if it was a coincidence or if gods really exist, but it was really like that that year."

"But later on, the gods' demands became higher and higher, and they would often impose punishments. People finally..."

The voice suddenly paused, and Shugao realized that he had lost his composure.

He coughed lightly and adjusted his mentality, "In the end, people could only keep adding more sacrifices, year after year, until today."

"Fortunately, in most cases when the sacrifices are sufficient, the gods are tolerant."

Xu Feng had a smile on his face, as if he liked Shu Gao's story very much.

But my heart has already begun to analyze.

If there was no unknown force, the story told by Shu Gao might have been a scam from the beginning.

Young people are leaving one after another because they see no hope here.

And someone has given young people this hope. Happiness and health are a good destination for most people.

Using people's hearts to convey this idea, many young people should eventually return to the village under the influence of various factors.

As for punishment, as for the need for sacrifices, it should be an excuse for so-called punishment.

Even a magician can't predict the future.

Therefore, the gods often use the anger of the gods to explain something after a disaster occurs. Anyway, the disaster has passed, and post-disaster reconstruction is often very happy.

It means that after offering sacrifices, the gods are satisfied.

As for the recurrence of disasters, it is because there are not enough sacrifices.

The power of faith is terrifying, and gradually everyone believes in the existence of gods.

But that is a deduction from normal circumstances. The current situation should be that belief has become a reality under the influence of a certain force.

The gods have become real gods, and now they are waiting for sacrifices from their believers.

As for whether the gods will be angry, Xu Feng doesn't know and doesn't care.

After Shu Gao finished speaking, he didn't speak anymore, feeling a little heavy in his thoughts.

A smile appeared on Xu Feng's lips and he said, "The person who first told this story should be named Lan."

Lan Qiaoqiao, a descendant of the priest family.

According to Xu Feng's guess, Lan Qiaoqiao's ancestor should be the first person to tell lies.

After all, the priest's status is noble. Apart from this position, Xu Feng really couldn't imagine who it would be.

Shugao frowned slightly, "Do you know Lan Qiaoqiao?"

Xu Feng nodded, "I heard someone introduce her yesterday, and she seems quite beautiful."

Xu Feng certainly had a purpose in exposing this relationship. Through Shu Gao's relationship with Lan Qiaoqiao and Han Xuan, he should be able to get some useful clues from these three people.

Shu Gao's eyes were full of interrogation, but all of them disappeared quickly.

He threw the things into the garbage dump outside the village and said in a haughty tone, "No, you guessed wrong."

"The person who came up with this story is named Shu and is my ancestor."
