God's Gift

Chapter 29 A guilty conscience

"Youyou, don't talk nonsense." Emma walked out of Lyle's arms.

Yu Youyou shook her head seriously, "Sister, what I said is true. I saw the body of this uncle in the forest not long ago. He had no head at the time, but today his head was reattached in front of us, and then he suddenly became like this."

"We still have scraps of his clothing."

As Yu Youyou spoke, she naturally stretched out her hand behind her.

Lu Keming looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, then glanced at Yu Youyou's back, and his brows twitched.

When had she discovered that he had put away the scraps of clothing?

Why are your eyes so sharp?

Seeing that there was nothing in her hand for a long time, Yu Youyou turned her head and looked at Lu Keming in confusion, shook his hand, and signaled to Lu Keming: Where are the clothes?

Lu Keming took a deep breath.

Never mind, it's all about planning.

He took out the pieces of clothing from the storage space and handed them to Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou took the piece of clothing, walked to Emma and handed it to her.

"Sister, do you recognize this dress?"

Emma picked up the piece of clothing and didn't recognize it quickly. But after handing it to Lyle, Lyle's expression changed.

"These are Dylan's clothes who disappeared a few days ago."

Yu Youyou nodded, "It wore this outfit when it was still in human form."

Lyle was stunned, and after a while he looked at the monster next to Lu Keming.

"Could it really be Dylan?"

"Don't listen to the little girl's nonsense. Monsters are best at disguise. They deceived us and killed many of us decades ago in this way." The old man who was talking to Lu Keming spoke again.

Lyle finally came to his senses after hearing the old man's words.

"Yes, it must have eaten Dylan and then disguised itself as Dylan to deceive us."

Yu Youyou sighed, shook her head with a headache, and looked at the old man: "You said that the monsters disguised themselves as your deceased relatives, then how did they disguise themselves?"

"They are covered in the skins of their dead relatives, so they can naturally confuse us!" At this time, another old man also spoke.

"Since you already know that your relatives are dead, how could you be confused?" Yu Youyou looked at the old man sincerely and asked back.

Having said that, the old man dodged and avoided Yu Youyou's sight.

Lu Keming narrowed his eyes, walked up to stand in front of the old man, his eyes full of interest.

"If they are really disguised as your relatives, then their disguise seems to be a bit too poor. After all, even if those monsters pretend to be humans, they still look like corpses, right?"

The old man's hand trembled. Lu Keming's eyes fell on the old man's hand and he suddenly smiled knowingly.

"It seems to be true."

Yu Youyou smacked her lips and asked doubtfully, "Will you all be confused by that?"

"We miss our deceased relatives and are not on guard." The old man who spoke earlier was calmer and answered Yu Youyou's words.

"Oh, I see." Yu Youyou nodded and asked, "So many villagers missed their loved ones so much back then."

"That's really sincere." Lu Keming said sarcastically with deep meaning in his eyes.

The old man's expression froze and he closed his eyes.

"But those monsters are really the villagers, your dead relatives. Why don't you want to admit it?" Yu Youyou asked puzzledly, not noticing that the old man's expression was getting uglier and uglier.

"I saw clearly that those monsters were not wearing skins. They were villagers from head to toe, inside and out. They just turned into monsters in the end."

Emma on the side was stunned for a long time, then suddenly walked out of the encirclement and stared at the monster on the ground carefully for a long time.

"Lyle, I think it really is Dylan." Emma's legs went weak and she was hugged by Lyle who came over.

Emma's sixth sense has always been strong, and Lyle has never doubted her.

After hearing what she said, and the guilty reaction of the old man in the village, Lyle was already half-believing it.

At this time, everyone else also understood the problem. Shen Minghua and Ye Li walked forward. Ye Li looked at the stubborn old man, sighed, and tried to persuade the old man.

Ye Li sighed and tried to persuade the old man.

"Grandpa, you better tell us the truth. This is the only way for the villagers to survive now."

The old man turned his face away and ignored Ye Li.

Ye Li looked at Shen Minghua with a headache. Shen Minghua shook his head and walked forward.

“Grandpa, you should think about the lives of all the villagers here. If you are unwilling to tell the truth, they will all die because of you.”

As soon as he said this, the young people behind him started to make a commotion. Lyle hugged Emma and questioned the old man.

"Nikol, can you just tell me what the reason is? Are those monsters really villagers? Is there something that cannot be said that will cost us our lives?"

Nicol blew his beard and glared at Lyle, "Rising your lives? If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have been born at all, and you wouldn't have had a chance to survive. How could you still be here questioning me?"

"That's not what I meant." Lyle explained, "I just want to know the truth. Why did those dead villagers turn into monsters?"

Nicole fell silent again, and seemed to have made up his mind not to say anything.

Ye Li walked up to Shen Minghua and asked him in a low voice, "What do you think?"

"The so-called secrets that cannot be told are nothing more than things that are disadvantageous to them." Shen Minghua looked at the old man who had been avoiding the question, "He was avoiding the question and refused to answer directly why the villagers turned into monsters..."

"That means..." Shen Minghua looked at Ye Li, and both of them saw something wrong in each other's eyes.

"The reason why the villagers turned into monsters is related to them." Ye Li said what Shen Minghua had not finished saying, with a certain expression.

If the monsters are really those dead villagers, why do the villagers hide it and refuse to tell them the truth?

Although he was not clear about the real reason, Ye Li also understood the truth that if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear.

If the villagers had died of natural causes and then been turned into monsters by the hellfire, they could have told the truth openly and asked Ye Li and others to help them.

But they just wanted to cover up and avoid it, as if they had done something wrong.

That instead made Ye Li suspect that the death of the villager was related to other villagers, but they didn't dare to say it.

Because of the guilt in his heart, he was deceived by the monster.

On the other side, Yu Youyou put her hands in her pockets, tilted her head and looked at the silent Nicol, and suddenly said something strange.

“They are always angry.”

Nicol looked at Yu Youyou blankly, not understanding what she meant.

"Including this one." Yu Youyou pointed at the monster being held in the center of the square, "It's also angry."

"From the first moment I saw them, they have been making a lot of noise. They were clamoring to break into the village and find you and kill you."

Yu Youyou squatted down, her dark eyes innocent and naive.

"But they were villagers too. What grudge did they have against you? They were already dead, so why were they still thinking of killing you?"

Nicol's back broke out in a cold sweat, and his lips trembled, "You lied to me, those monsters can't talk at all."

"They can't speak, but I can hear their desires. Those desires are constantly buzzing in my ears, and there's no way I can ignore them." Yu Youyou explained to Nicole seriously.

Lu Keming was standing nearby. When he heard Yu Youyou's words, he narrowed his dark eyes and looked at Yu Youyou's squatting body.

Hear desire?

Yu Youyou didn't notice anything wrong with Nicole, and continued to ask in confusion, "Do you know why they want to kill you?"

Nicol staggered to the ground and took a shaky step back.

Lu Keming raised his chin and stared down at Nicole condescendingly. His shiny boots stepped on Nicole's hand and crushed it heavily.

"Go ahead." Lu Keming's voice was gloomy and cold, with a hint of impatience between his brows. He asked word by word, "Why did the monster want to kill you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an elderly voice came from the entrance of the square.

"That was my mistake."

Everyone in the square looked over.

"Village chief." Lyle looked at the old man with white hair and a cane leaning on the entrance and called out subconsciously.

The village chief who had always stayed indoors came.
