Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

Many people gathered near the public bathhouse, and everyone gathered in a circle and discussed quietly. Uncle Wu pushed through the crowd and looked, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.

A villager beside him supported him and pinched his Ren Zhong point. After a while, Uncle Wu woke up.

He stared blankly at Wu Jun's miserable body, unable to speak for a long time.

There were quite a lot of people around, and Gu Yan wanted to squeeze in to investigate the body, but was stopped by Yu Lan.

"Why are you stopping me? This is the first person to die in the game. Maybe we can find out something from the investigation."

Long Shiqing carefully glanced at the crowd, then tugged at Gu Yan's sleeve and whispered, "This was done by Sister Meng and the female ghost."

"Ah?" Gu Yan glanced at the villagers, then at the two people in front of him, and felt a headache: "Are you crazy? You actually attacked NPCs, aren't you afraid of punishment?"

"The tongue was probably plucked out by the female ghost as revenge. The eyes were dug out by Sister Meng because she peeped at us taking a bath. I swear, I didn't ask them to do it, so it doesn't count as us doing it, right?"

Yu Lan raised three fingers and swore hastily, then pulled Gu Yan away: "Let's go, let's go to Wang Er's house. Didn't they say last night that a player was chosen to press the bed? Let's see if there is any progress over there."

They almost forgot about the main mission, Wang Er's side was more important.

When they arrived at Wang Er's house, they saw that he was looking very sad. The other players were there, but one person was missing. When Gu Yan asked, he found out that the player who pressed the bed last night had gone somewhere, so another person was needed to press the bed tonight.

Gu Yan felt a little strange. Uncle Wu was Wang Er's uncle. Didn't he know that his cousin had died? Was Wang Er still worried about his wedding?

Gu Yan said a few simple words of comfort and looked at the other players.

The other players also found it strange and no longer competed to be the one pressing the bed like they did on the first day.

Brother Hua glanced at Yu Lan, with a hint of unkindness in his tone: "Where did you go last night?"

Yu Lan pointed at herself: "Me? I'm at Uncle Wu's house."

"What about the rest?"

"They are all at Uncle Wu's house." Yu Lan tilted her head: "Didn't you see me? Or did you do something bad last night?"

"What do you mean?" Brother Hua was a little anxious. At this moment, he was no longer as kind as he had shown on the first day. Even the eyes of other players were on Yu Lan and Long Shiqing, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.

Yu Lan couldn't stay any longer, so she made up an excuse and left. Gu Yan originally wanted to see if there was any trace of the bride at Wang Er's house, but when he saw Yu Lan leaving, he had no choice but to follow her.

"Yulan, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Lan paused. Yes, what happened to her? Shouldn't we investigate it now? Why did she run away?

Something was wrong. Yu Lan thought for a while and looked at Gu Yan: "Do you feel anything strange?"

"Strange place?" Gu Yan scratched his head: "No, except for the missing player. I wanted to go to the room where he slept to take a look..."

"No, that's not it." Yu Lan stopped him: "Emotionally, do you feel any difference?"

Gu Yan shook his head: "No feeling."

Yu Lan looked at Long Shiqing, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I feel a little uneasy and a little scared."

Gu Yan consoled him: "It's okay, all newbies are like this."

"No." Yu Lan said, "If she is the only one who feels uneasy and scared, then it's normal. But what if I say I also feel uneasy and scared?"

"You? Are you kidding?" Gu Yan laughed, but when he saw Yu Lan's serious expression, he paused: "Are you really scared?"

"Although you don't feel anything, when you look at other players, their emotions are not right, which is different from what we saw on the first day. If they were brainwashed by the villagers, would such a change occur?" Yu Lan said.

Hearing this, Gu Yan's expression became serious. If one person changed, it might be a coincidence, but if it happened to a group of people, it could only be that...

“It’s spiritual pollution.”

Gu Yan sighed. He had been underestimating this instance, which caused him to overlook certain things. "It is common for evil gods to have mental pollution. I think everyone has been affected by it."

"Then why are you okay?"

"I did." Gu Yan scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "When you asked me, I just remembered that something was wrong with me since last night. Normally, I would not rashly decide to enter the evil temple without preparation. It seemed like I was bewitched by something last night..."

"This evil god will magnify people's negative emotions." After hearing what Gu Yan said, Yu Lan immediately thought of the characteristics of this evil god: "Gu Yan's arrogance, Shi Qing and I's fear, other players' greed... Then the question is, what is the evil god's method of contamination?"

This is a good question. This is the clue they are going to look for next. Gu Yan sighed slightly. He didn't expect Yu Lan to find out something was wrong so quickly. This change was very subtle. If Yu Lan hadn't brought it up, he probably wouldn't have known he was affected.

"Now that we have found the problem, should we go to Wang Er's house again?" Gu Yan asked. He still wanted to take a look at the room where the player slept. Anyway, there would be some clues.

"Let's split up. You go check out that room, and Shiqing and I will go see if there's anything near the village during daylight."

"Are you sure?" Gu Yan said doubtfully, "It's too dangerous for you two girls to walk around the village. Don't forget what I told you yesterday that Uncle Wu and his men were planning to take you two away."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Yu Lan waved her hand, indicating that Gu Yan didn't need to worry: "Go and check the situation. When you're done, gather at the village entrance."

"Okay." Gu Yan couldn't persuade Yu Lan, so he could only let them leave.

Long Shiqing looked back and saw Gu Yan still looking at them from behind. She whispered, "Brother Gu Yan seems like a worried old father."

Yu Lan chuckled: "Don't let him hear it."

The two men walked to the entrance of the village and happened to see Brother Wang driving the van that brought them here.

"Where are you going?" Brother Wang was deeply impressed by the girl who gave him a nice cigarette, so he greeted her.

"I was planning to walk around here. It's pretty nice here." Yu Lan made up an excuse to get away with it. Brother Wang looked around and waved to Yu Lan and the other person to come over.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Brother Wang whispered, "Girls, hurry up and leave before the wedding starts."

Yu Lan and Long Shiqing looked at each other. Did this trigger the plot? Of course, Yu Lan would not miss this opportunity and quickly asked, "Why do you say that?"

"You don't know this Wuren Village..." Brother Wang sat in the car, seeming to recall something. Yu Lan handed him a cigarette at the right time, and Brother Wang took it with a smile, lit it and took a puff.

"Wuren Village is actually quite far from Wangjia Village. As you can see, Wuren Village is very remote. I don't know why, but the elders in our village are very taboo about Wuren Village and don't seem to want to have anything to do with them. Although Wang Er's family and I are relatives, people in our village rarely interact with people in Wuren Village. When my uncle said he wanted to marry into the Wuren Village, the elders in the family strongly opposed it, saying that he was possessed by evil spirits."

"When I was a child, I followed my uncle to Wuren Village. He said he would take me to play, but he took me to a temple. He asked me to worship the gods in the temple. After I finished worshipping, he said he wanted me to sleep in his bridal chamber for two nights and to be his bed press..."

"I wanted to agree, but my family rushed in and took me away by force. I never saw my uncle again after that. Later, I occasionally heard from the elders that every time someone got married in Wuren Village, two pairs of young men and women would disappear from the nearby villages. They were all sacrificed to the evil gods by the people of Wuren Village."

Hearing this, Brother Wang shook off the ashes and took his last puff of his cigarette: "Little girls, you are still young. Run away before they start to do anything."

After listening to this, Yu Lan thanked him seriously: "I understand. Thank you, brother."

When Wang Ge heard Yu Lan's words, a look of relief appeared on his face. As the cigarette burned out and the smoke dissipated, he disappeared from the spot.

Long Shiqing exclaimed: "Xiao Yu, what's going on? Is Brother Wang also a ghost?"

"Yeah." Yu Lan nodded slightly. She had known about this for a long time.

Why are the cigarettes she bought in the mall so expensive? Because they are items that can appease the dead.

"Brother Wang said that when he was a child, his uncle took him to a temple to worship. I guess worshiping the evil god is a condition for death. At that time, he was targeted by the evil god."

"What about us now?" Long Shiqing asked

Yu Lan took out the car keys and put them in her backpack: "Let's go find another ghost."
