Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 154 154. Five days and four nights (13)

At the entrance of Mawang Village, there is a three-story villa with two... not stone lions, but two mermaids at the door.

It's not lifelike, but you can tell it's a mermaid.

"This family didn't make a fortune selling mermaids, right?" Lao Zeng said.

"I guess most of them are in this village." Xiao Wu said.

Lin Xi walked around the two stone mermaids twice and followed everyone into the yard.

The gate was open, and the yard was in a mess, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time.

"Is there anyone there?" Huang Jingjing shouted.

"It doesn't look like someone." Zhen He said. "I just saw that there are spider webs on the door of their house. It must be that no one has lived in the house for a long time!"

Several people shouted several times, but no one at home answered. Some people even turned on the lights in the house. No one was in the house, and it was turned into a mess.

Even more messy than the yard.

"Isn't this family all turned into fish?" Xiao Wei said.

"When I saw that they used mermaids to house their houses, I felt there was a problem." Da Lizi said. "Maybe it was their family that caught two mermaids a few years ago and sold them for tens of millions."

"Why do they still live in the village if they are so rich?" Lao Zeng was puzzled. "They must have moved, and there's no one at home!"

"Find someone to ask." Linxi said.

A group of people came out of this house and continued walking inside. They found that many such villas were empty, even if some had their doors closed, they looked normal.

On the contrary, the further you go, the fewer villas there are and the more homes there are with smoke.

"Let's go find out separately!" Lin Xi suggested, looking at everyone's hats.

It's almost six o'clock.

"Okay, it's faster to inquire separately." Zhen He said. "Whether you have inquired or not, we will meet here at 7:15. By the way, teammates remember to be together. Hei Wa is alone, follow us!"

Everyone has no objection.

There were also three people in Lin Xi's group, plus the two from Huang Jingjing's group, a total of five people, walking towards the northwest corner.

The smoke over there is denser.

It's not dark yet, and people in the houses are still cooking and leaving their doors open.

Lin Xi took the lead and walked into a house. As he entered, he said, "Excuse me, who is at home?"

"Who!" an old voice asked.

A gray-haired old lady walked out of the shed on the south side.

"Hello, grandma." Linxi said. "Are you the only one at home?"

"Old man, we have a guest." The old woman shouted.

A stooped, white-haired old man walked out of the house, carrying several small horseshoes in his hand. When he saw Lin Xi and the others, even though they didn't know them, he opened the little horseties and arranged them.

"Sit down." The old man said and asked again. "Are you from out of town?"

"Well, let's travel." Muyu replied.

"Don't go next to Mermaid Lake." The old man said.

"Mermaid Lake?" Gao Wenqiao asked.

"Yes, we have a lake here. It wasn't called this lake originally. I don't know where many mermaids came from, and it turned into a mermaid lake." The old man said. "I heard someone said that eating mermaid meat can lead to immortality, so some people went to catch mermaids and came back. They sold them for a lot of money and built a villa in the village. Others were jealous and went to the lake to catch mermaids. Later, There are fewer and fewer mermaids in the lake, some may have gone back to the sea, and some have been caught.”

"Have the families with villas in the village moved away?" Lin Xi asked.

"They're all dead, they're all dead," the old man said. "Who asked them to do this torture? That mermaid has a human body, can talk and cry, how can it be eaten? How can it be captured and sold for money. They were retaliated by the mermaid, and they are all dead."

"Grandpa, do you know how they died?" Muyu asked.

"Some said they turned into fish and were eaten. Some said they were killed by mermaids. Who knows!" said the old man. "The people left in the village now are all families who have never caught a mermaid. Isn't this revenge? What is it?"

"Thank you, we won't go to the lake." Linxi said.

The three people visited several more houses, some were detailed and some were vague, but generally speaking, those people did not move away, but were retaliated by the mermaid.

"It's no use moving away," said an older brother. "We have a family here who moved to the city. I heard that they could hear the cry of mermaids at night, and the whole family died the next day. This situation did not happen before. It was the family at the entrance of the village who caught the mermaid. The two mermaids appeared later. Of course, those who caught mermaids or killer mermaids before did not escape, and they were all retaliated against."

Lin Xi looked at the time, and it was almost half past seven. The three of them decided not to ask any more questions, met up with Huang Jingjing and the others, and returned to the agreed place.

Huang Jingjing and the others found out the same result. Even if those people moved away, it would be useless and they would be cursed by the mermaid.

And these situations started a few years ago.

Now, no one in the whole village eats fish.

Afraid of eating your neighbors.

Everyone listened to the story all afternoon, but couldn't find a way to solve it. It was almost half past seven.

"Let's go back and eat." Zhen He said. "We may not be able to help with this matter."

"Yes, after all, time is too tight." Da Lizi said. "You have to go back to your room at nine o'clock."

——It seems that it is really not for everyone to complete the mission and pass the level.

——This isn’t a mission, it’s just that the player wants to save his companions.

——People who touch taboos cannot be saved at all.

——Those two men, no matter whether they don’t save them or not, they are selfish people at first glance.

——Selfish, but sin should not lead to death! They didn't know the fish was a human.

——Something happened to Lao Jiang, wouldn’t they know?

——It’s understandable that I’m even more scared after knowing this, and don’t want to be turned into a fish.

——Yes, it is true that sin does not lead to death.

——Don’t reason with this crappy game, there is no reason at all.

Lin Xi was walking and watching the discussion in the live broadcast room, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

If there was no time limit, we might still find a way to crack it, but we are running out of time.

When we returned to the hotel, we didn't see the little bear. The group immediately went into the restaurant to eat.

This time, everyone only ate vegetarian dishes. No one ate any fish or meat.

Everyone was in a bad mood and ate very little, so they finished their meals quickly.

When I came to the hall, I saw Little Bear sitting on the sofa in the hall, waiting for everyone with a smile.

"Good evening everyone, our rest time is up. Remember, after returning to the room, you cannot leave the room before four o'clock tomorrow morning. After four o'clock, everyone is free to go out and watch the sunrise. There is no need to form a team. If you don't want to watch it, you can Continue to rest in the hotel. Remember to gather your belongings in the lobby for breakfast, and then we will leave for the next stop. Good night, everyone. "

"You can go out after four o'clock tomorrow morning, right?" Lin Xi asked.

I remember very clearly that when I was writing these chapters, my mother happened to buy two fish and steamed them. While I was eating, I was thinking about what I had written. That feeling is indescribable!
