——Huh? Does this old lady know that she is dead?

——No wonder she is not afraid of 123 and the others.

——The old lady died before Peihong and Jingfeng. At that time, not so many people in the village died, and the wizard had not yet used witchcraft.

——But after the wizard used his magic, the old lady became the same as everyone else.

——Yeah, shouldn’t the old lady be dead? How come she looks like a living person?

The old lady took a sip of water and continued telling the story.

"On the second day after Peihong and Jingfeng were burned to death, people in the village began to fall ill and were dying. There were more than a dozen people on the first day, and from the second day on, more people fell ill. Rumors began to spread in the village that Peihong and Jingfeng were wronged, and that those who fell ill in the village were people who had watched the sacrifice that day. Others said that these people would die sooner or later, because Peihong and Jingfeng hated everyone who watched them being burned to death.

The chieftain was also ill at the time, but he recovered quickly. When he heard the rumors in the village, he immediately said that he had a magic doctor at home who could cure the villagers' illnesses, and asked everyone not to spread rumors. From that day on, the wizard really cured everyone's illnesses, and the rumors in the village gradually disappeared.

"Actually, those people are dead, right?" Lin Xi asked. "The wizard just used witchcraft to make them look alive."

"Yes, many people in the village died, and most of those who are still alive have never seen the sacrifice." The old lady said. "Maybe it's because I died only a few days ago, but I can live in the sun like a living person. However, many people in the village know that I am dead, so I don't go out normally." The old lady said.

"No one came to your house either?" Dayang asked. "When we came, the door was open."

"Because there are other people living in this house, and the door is open, no one will suspect anything." The old lady said. "But he is not here today, he went out to work. If he comes back, he will buy a lot of food and daily necessities for the two of us."

"Will the villagers go out to work?" Lu Luyuan asked.

"He was just like you, he saw people outside as human. He was away from home during the years when the incident happened, and didn't know what happened in the village. When he came back last year, his parents and family said he was a ghost and drove him out, so he came to live with me," the grandmother said. "He also knew the truth of the matter, and when he found out that his family members were probably gone, he cried."

"Grandma, do you like your current life, or..." Li Tiantian asked.

——Li Tiantian, if grandma says she likes her current life, don’t you want to pass the level?

——But if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to help but ask.

——I actually feel that death is almost the same as life, which is pretty good.

——It was just an illusion, they were actually still dead.

"What's so good about this kind of life?" The old lady said with a smile. "I know I'm dead and should have been reincarnated a long time ago, but I'm left here. But the other people in the village don't know I'm dead, so they must like their current life."

"If we sacrifice two men and women every year, no one in the village will be killed in revenge, right?" Lin Xi asked. "The clan leader is not afraid that the men and women who were sacrificed will come back to seek revenge on him."

"He has a wizard by his side, there is nothing bad he wouldn't dare to do," said the old lady.

"If we go out at night, those living people in the village won't treat us as ghosts, right?" Xiaodong asked.

"Yes." The old lady said. "If you are a stranger, you will be regarded as a ghost if you are seen at night. Even if you have seen someone during the day, he will think you are a ghost. In addition, the wizard has given everyone a kind of water. If you pour it on you, you will disappear without a trace."

——Hahahaha, I kind of want to laugh.

——What are you laughing at?

——Smile: The water in this game is really omnipotent, even NPCs use water.

——Player: It’s retribution, almighty water, it’s finally time for you to deal with me.

——Hahahahahahahaha If you didn’t say it, I wouldn’t find it funny.

——Is it funny? What’s funny about it?

"It seems that we really can't go out at night." said Dayang.

"So, grandma, you hope that witchcraft will disappear and the village can return to its original state, right?" Lin Xi asked.

"Humans and ghosts have different paths. If they keep living together, it will cause big problems. It's better to separate the bridges and the roads." The old lady said. "Besides, the chief, the wizard and his minions have done too many bad things. They deserve to die."

"Okay, grandma." Guo Yuelang said immediately. "We understand."

——So, this old lady must be the NPC who issues the quests!

——The old lady is the only one who knows all the truth. She should be the NPC who issued the task.

——Is it possible that the NPC issuing the quest is not only the old lady, and the quests issued are also different. It depends on which one you meet?

——Is it that complicated?

——Have you watched too many palace fighting dungeons? They are usually single tasks!

——There are also tasks to confuse people, palace fighting is nothing.

——A confusing mission? Please elaborate.

——I dare not be detailed, for fear of being deducted money.

——If it is detailed, it may not be as simple as deducting money.

"Okay, it's getting late, I need to rest, you guys should rest too!" The old lady stood up and walked into the house. "It's pitiful, tomorrow two more people will be sacrificed. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If they are burned, they will be the eighth couple to be sacrificed."

Lin Xi immediately looked at Guo Yuelang: "Have you ever encountered such a side quest? And you need to save people?"

"No, mine is different!" Guo Yuelang shook his head.

Of course Lin Xi knew it, she just asked this on purpose.

"Although most of the people who come to watch the sacrifice cannot see us, the clan leader, the wizard and a few minions should be able to see us!" said Li Tiantian.

"There's no other way, let's use props!" Lu Luyuan said. "It's not convenient for us to go out at night, otherwise we might die accidentally."

"Okay, let's go to the toilet later and discuss the details of rescuing people," said Lin Xi.

——123, there are no players who will fight against you this time, so there is no need to hide it from us.

——It’s okay to hide it from us. There’s no need to tell us directly.

——It’s okay to say it directly. There’s no need to smile at us.

"I'm afraid that if you knew it in advance, you would feel bored tomorrow." Lin Xi smiled even more happily at the live broadcast room.

A few people left as soon as they said they would, and immediately went towards the toilet.

As soon as I reached the toilet door, the live broadcast room disappeared instantly.

"Oh my god, that's quite humane. I thought we were going to have an interesting conversation." Xiaodong said with a smile.

In fact, the inside of the toilet is not dirty. It is a big pit like the old days. After using the toilet, the pit is filled with soil, which can be used as fertilizer in the future.

"Let's talk about what props we can use to save people!" Lin Xi said. "I only have a hammer, and Xinxin has no props to use."
