Hearing the woman's terrified voice, Chen Mu and Zhang Shu both felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"What's wrong? Don't be anxious and speak slowly, but be quick."

Zhang Shu was in a bad mood, and what he said in a hurry sounded a little funny.

The woman pointed to the entrance of the village and said in a panicked tone:

"Just now, Jiao Ge and I found a pile of bones at the entrance of the village. Fatty's clothes were scattered next to the bones."

Chen Mu was not too surprised by this news. He had long expected that the fat man was probably dead.

Zhang Shu next to him also revealed fear.

They were both semi-newbies and had participated in strange missions before, but never one so cruel.

Someone died on the first night, and it was in a secret room.

Even in the Guimen, it is considered to be very difficult.

"Let's go and take a look." Chen Mu said calmly. He let the woman lead the way, and the three of them walked towards the location of the fat man's body.

When we arrived at the village entrance, Jiao Chong'e and the young couple were already watching.

Six players surrounded the fat man's body, which was more like a pile of bones than a body.

The flesh on the bones was also eaten away, leaving only white bones.

The fat man's clothes were scattered around, looking particularly miserable.

Chen Mu examined the corpse for a while, and in the horrified eyes of several players, Chen Mu actually reached out his hand and turned over the pile of bones.

"What are you doing!" The girl in the young couple looked at Chen Mu's hand with some fear as it touched the white bones.

There was a hint of admiration in Jiao Chong'e's eyes when he looked at Chen Mu.

This innocent-looking young man actually has such courage and state of mind.

After the strange mission is over, if you can be received into the organization for training, you may be able to become an elite operator in the future.

If Chen Mu knew what Jiao Chong'e was thinking, he would probably not be able to help but say: Don't worry, buddy, I will resurrect you in a few years, and I hope you will still recognize me then.

Touching the eerie white bones, Chen Mu's hands felt sticky, which was the liquid on the surface of the bones.

After searching for a long time and finding no useful clues, Chen Mu stood up and shrugged.

"I think we need to speed up next." Chen Mu said in a serious tone: "If it continues like this, I have a feeling that there will be more deaths tonight.

It's only afternoon now, we still have the afternoon and evening, let's think of ways to get more information."

When the other players heard the "rumor", they all looked worried.

Even Jiao Chong'e couldn't help but say, "The villagers are afraid of getting into trouble, they just want us to be the first to help them get rid of the man-eating monster.

But it is absolutely unacceptable to let them take any risks. Even if they only provide some clues, they will be afraid of revenge from the cannibal ghost and dare not say anything. "

"If they don't say it, then find a way to make them say it." Chen Mu said quietly.

"What can we do? Kidnapping? The whole village is related to each other. I'm afraid that before we even kidnap the person, their relatives and friends will kill us." Jiao Chong'e said helplessly.

Chen Mu's eyes revealed a hint of cunning, "Brother Jiao, I didn't expect that your idea is the same as Zhang Shu's, both of you want to use violence.

The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting.

The villagers are all good people. When they are afraid to speak out, you need to use some non-violent means to help them overcome their fear and speak out bravely. "

Jiao Chonge frowned, "You mean, give them benefits? We ourselves are penniless..."

"Brother Jiao, you are too narrow-minded. In addition to inducement, there is also coercion." Chen Mu said.

"Coercion? Isn't that kidnapping..."

Chen Mu interrupted him, called the players over, and slowly spoke of his plan in a low voice.

After a moment, after hearing Chen Mu's plan, the other players were all stunned.

Zhang Shu couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Damn, when it comes to playing with people's hearts, you're still the most ruthless, Brother Chen."

Jiao Chong'e looked at Chen Mu with more and more appreciation.

A few minutes later, according to Chen Mu's plan, the players began to act according to the original three groups.

Zhang Shu followed Chen Mu, climbed up the wall of a house, and sneaked onto the roof.

The two men acted as "gentlemen on the roof", secretly lying on the roof and spying on the private life of this family.

"Brother Chen, your idea may seem far-fetched, but I think it is the most feasible one."

Zhang Shu couldn't help but say.

Chen Mu’s plan was simple. The villagers were unwilling to reveal the secret of the man-eating monster.

OK, then let’s exchange secrets for secrets.

What kind of secret can be exchanged for the secret of the cannibal?

For a villager, if he tells the secret of the cannibal, he may be killed by the cannibal in revenge.

Then only a bigger secret - if he tells this secret, he will definitely become miserable - will the villagers be willing to use this "bigger secret" to exchange for the secret of the cannibal ghost.

The question is, for a villager, what kind of secret can be considered a "bigger secret"?

Chen Mu’s answer was – I don’t know either, so we have to “steal the secret”!

In times of prosperity, people rarely have such "greater secrets."

Only when the granaries are full can one know etiquette, and only when one has enough food and clothing can one know honor and disgrace.

However, during years of famine, all kinds of intrigues and despicable practices will surface.

In order to survive, people would do many secret things - hiding food, violating morals, violating human ethics...

Chen Mu believes that the villagers in Daohuaxiang Village must have their own secrets.

As long as this secret is exposed and the villagers cannot survive in the village, it will be considered a "bigger secret".

In the chaos of war, leaving the village was equivalent to death. Rather than being 100% sure of death, it would be better to reveal the clues of the man-eating ghost, at least there would be no certainty of death.

The three groups of players began to act as thieves, hiding in every house.

Even if you are discovered, at most you will be beaten up. Don't steal other people's food, at least you won't be beaten to death.

The players divided the houses in the village into their own areas.

Everyone had to patrol their own houses before midnight.

In the evening, the players returned to the woodshed, had dinner, and took a short rest.

Then, everyone started rushing to the rooftops without stopping.

Chen Mu’s guess was correct, they did see a lot of secrets.

Some people secretly hid food at home and secretly added extra meals to their meals without telling their relatives and villagers.

Some families hid gold and silver jewelry and buried them underground in the yard to prepare a retreat when fleeing famine.

Others conspired to go to the old village chief's house to "pick up some scraps" and steal the remaining belongings of the old village chief, although they were not valuable, and took them for themselves.

Behind closed doors, even those who appear to be righteous can reveal their despicable side.

But this secret is not enough.

Finally, when passing by one of the houses, Chen Mu heard a sound that made him blush.
