I became a system virus

Not only the fat man was hairy, but Yi Qiubai also felt flustered. He touched his arm uncomfortably and said, "This place is full of weirdness."

Wu Yue also said: "Yeah, it looks very evil."

Gao Ye looked at the ancient trees at the head of the village, and said vigilantly: "The fog is too thick now, let's go in after it clears."

After about half an hour, the thick fog gradually dispersed.

A group of people walked cautiously into the village.

The houses inside are densely built, all of which are built of stones. The doors and windows are carved with simple patterns, which look old and have a long history.

A large number of buildings have been abandoned for a long time, and the walls are mottled and dilapidated, showing a forgotten vicissitudes.

Xiang Qiang quickly discovered their abnormality, and frowned, "These houses are very strange."

Fatty: "Why is it so strange?"

Xiang Qiang: "Generally speaking, most houses are facing north and south, but you can see that they are not particular at all, and the doors and windows face each other, a typical hallway."

Wu Yue interjected, "It's really strange for you to mention it. It seems that most houses are oriented obliquely. What's the reason for that?"

Yi Qiubai: "Could it be based on local conditions?"

Xiang Qiang shook his head, pointed at the disorderly old buildings, and said, "Don't you realize that the layout of these houses is like a maze?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they were indeed not as careful as he observed.

Gao Ye said coldly: "Why don't you pick a room and go in and have a look?"

Yi Qiubai nodded, he was thinking about it.

So people randomly picked a residence and went in to inquire.

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, it was covered with dust and cobwebs, and there were two or three pieces of broken furniture left in the main room.

Wu Yue said: "What age are these old-fashioned furniture? They look like antiques."

Xiang Qiang: "It is estimated that they are older than the five of us."

Seeing a side room next to it, the fat man went in curiously to check it out, and couldn't help scolding his mother, "Come quickly, there's a coffin here!"

The four hurried into the wing.

There are no windows inside, and the light is all provided by the outside, so it looks very dark.

The temperature seems to be lower than that of the main room, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Everyone looked at the dusty old coffin, and their foreheads felt a little chilled.

Wu Yue said in disbelief, "Who would have a coffin in their home?"

Gao Ye looked around and said desperately, "Why don't you open it and have a look?"

Fatty: "Brother Ye, let's forget it, if there is a dead person lying in it, it will be disrespectful." He added, "We are newcomers, so we shouldn't disturb others."

Takano put his hands on his chest and said nothing.

Yi Qiubai said: "Anyway, they are here..."

Xiang Qiang: "Then take something with you, what if it contains dry food?"

After saying this, Wu Yue regained her spirits, "Maybe it's really edible inside."

Fatty: "Zongzi?"

Everyone: "..."

At present, they have not prepared black donkey hooves, and no one wants to eat zongzi.

Takano also seemed to be hesitant, "Would you like to visit another one?"

It turned out that there was also a coffin in the wing room of the other house. Although the size was different, the orientation was exactly the same, which seemed to be particular about it.

Really evil.

Yi Qiubai rubbed his chin and said, "Open it and have a look, maybe it's real goods."

Takano nodded.

The four big men rolled up their sleeves and started working, lifting the coffin lid with brute force.

The fat man sneaked a peek inside. There were neither materials nor corpses inside, only a set of shrouds, shoes and socks neatly placed.

The fat man made a false alarm, "Hey, I guess it's for the elderly at home."

Gao Ye rummaged through it carefully, and found that it was indeed the funeral supplies for the deceased.

Everyone put the lid on the coffin again.

After that, they opened several coffins one after another, all of which were the same thing.

Yi Qiubai concluded: "Preparing coffins in the house is probably a local custom."

Gao Ye: "This explanation makes sense."

When the five of them were about to continue to investigate the village, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the village.

Someone said: "Fuck! What the hell kind of place is this, so desolate?"

"Yeah, looks good for a ghost movie."

"Don't talk nonsense, what if there is a ghost?"

"The feng shui of this place is not good. A century-old tree at the entrance of the village blocks the dry well, which means that you can't get in and out."

"Yo, fellow daoist, you're pretty good at it."

"If there is water in the well, it's good. Water represents vitality, and it's the gate of life. Now the bottom of the well is dry, and the gate of life is gone. This village is in a valley between two mountains. It's a place where shade gathers, so it's not suitable for people to live in."

"Wow, master, you are so amazing!"

"Isn't he talking nonsense? If it is suitable for people to live in, why is the village empty?"

"..."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Suddenly, the sound of rolling stones came from the village, and the fat man mischievously imitated the woman's voice, and said in a low voice, "I've been hungry for too long, the meat of those people just now tastes so delicious!"

Players at the entrance of the village: "!!!"

The fat man let out a sharp laugh, "It seems that some fresh products have arrived, which is great."

Then the players at the entrance of the village erupted collectively, all screaming and running around.

The fat man leaned forward and backward with laughter, and when he was about to show off his broken voice to Wu Yue, he unexpectedly found that there was no one behind him.

Fatty: "!!!"

What about people?

While confused, a voice suddenly rang in my ears, "I've been hungry for too long, the meat from those people just now tasted so delicious!"

Fatty: "!!!"

A sharp laugh sounded, "It seems that some fresh goods are delivered to the door, that's great."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Fatty ran towards the entrance of the village crying and howling.

A voice exactly like his came from behind, "What are you running for?"

Fatty was frightened and cried. He squatted at the mouth of the well with his head in his arms, crying, "Brother Ye, help! Help!"

Wu Yue, who caught up, gasped and said, "Fatty, are you stunned, why are you running so fast?"

Fatty: "..."

Seeing Yi Qiubai and others standing behind Wu Yue, he asked in surprise, "Where did you go just now, why did you disappear suddenly?"

Everyone: "???"

Wu Yue: "We've been there all the time, but you are running fast like a ghost."

Fatty: "..."

Could it be that he was hallucinating?

After the fleeing players found out that it was their prank, they all returned to the village full of righteous indignation and accused them.

Yi Qiubai silently counted the number of people, there were 15 people in total.

Gao Ye said: "Everyone should stop after scolding enough."

The big guy was full of swear words: "This grandson really deserves a fucking beating. If they didn't stop me, I would have to take his leg off!"

Yi Qiubai said kindly, "I'm really sorry, we caused you trouble by playing around, and I apologize for Fatty."

The big man: "Who the hell are you? Let him come and kneel and kowtow to grandpa."

Wu Yue: "It's too much, everyone is a player, and it's not malicious, I also apologize to you, but I still hold on to it, is it interesting?"

Big guy: "Hey, this girl has a sharp mouth, don't fuck me..."

Before the words were finished, Gao Ye kicked him, directly kicking him to the ground.

The big man wanted to get up, but kicked him in the stomach again, and he was paralyzed.

Gao Ye said condescendingly: "Are you still blind to compare?"

The big man covered his stomach, curled up into a ball like a shrimp, and said submissively, "Don't dare."

Gao Ye said: "Some people are just scumbags. If you talk nicely to him, he will treat you as an idiot and beat him up. He is honest, why bother?"

The big man said nothing.

Gao Ye: "Fatty came over to apologize to him, he is a good old man, but you peed out of fear in the end, what a shame."

The fat man walked over to apologize to the big man.

Gao Ye: "Help him up, shake hands, and let's forget about it."

The fat man did as he was told.

This wave of hard and soft operations stunned the rest of the players, and none of them dared to make mistakes.

Yi Qiubai couldn't help feeling amused when he saw the expressions on the faces of everyone holding a memorial service.

Takano, he is just a bastard. Although he has a bad temper, he is quite interesting.

Next, everyone introduced themselves to each other. Among them was a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks who seemed to have a little research on Feng Shui. He called himself a magic stick.

According to Shengun, the village is full of lifelessness and is not suitable for human habitation, so it is reasonable to be deserted.

Yi Qiubai said: "Just now we walked around the village and found that almost every house has coffins and funeral supplies. Is there anything special about that?"

The magic stick was dubious, "Every family prepares a coffin?"

Yi Qiubai: "Yes, you can go and have a look."

A group of people immediately went to check the situation.

Some players were so frightened that they complained: "What the hell is the coffin in the room? It's too outrageous!"

"Yeah, it looks creepy."

The magic stick carefully looked at the layout of each household and the intricate roads in the village, and murmured: "It shouldn't be."

Wu Yue asked curiously: "What shouldn't it be?"

God stick: "Look at the orientation of these houses, almost all of them are slanted. According to our country people's attention, the residence should be upright." After a pause, "Also, have you noticed that there are so many locust trees in the village? "

Xiang Qiang couldn't help but said: "I heard that the locust tree is feminine, so it attracts ghosts?"

Shen stick nodded and said: "That's right, and it's not right. But the pagoda tree here is not planted randomly, it is very particular, it is based on the five elements and eight trigrams, and it acts as a deterrent."

Fatty: "Shock what?"

The magic stick said something metaphysical, "It is what you think it is."

Everyone: "..."

ghost?

The atmosphere was tense for a while, and the magic stick carefully examined the surrounding situation again, and asked, "What theme do you think this dungeon will be about?"

Fatty: "Could it be to find out why the local villagers left the village?"

Someone agreed, "Reliable."

The magic stick also felt that it was in line with the current clues, "I think the most urgent thing is that it is more reliable for us to get the residence and living supplies first."

Gao Ye said: "Let's find each other as a group."

Magic stick: "Let's divide into two teams and form a team voluntarily." After a pause, "The layout of the village is quite weird, everyone, don't be left alone, lest you encounter ghosts hitting the wall."

People think that the magic stick is very reliable, so they all go to form a team with him, Gao Ye and the others are in a group of five.

After splitting up to act, the fat man expressed his doubts that he had held back for a long time, "Brother Ye, there seems to be something wrong when I frightened them just now."

Takano: "What's the problem?"

Fatty: "Didn't I imitate a woman's voice, and it turned out that women really imitated me."

Takano: "???"

Fatty: "Did you hear that?"

Takano: "No."

The fat man looked at Yi Qiubai, who also shook his head.

The fat man couldn't help but collapse, "Could it be that I'm hallucinating?"

Yi Qiubai: "Maybe it's the NPC's mischief." He added, "Although I don't know how true or false the words of the magic stick are, this place is full of weirdness, everyone should be careful."

Xiang Qiang agreed: "I always feel that the No. [-] dungeon is different from other dungeons. Everything around it is too real, as if it existed in the first place."

Wu Yue: "Brother Qiang, why can't I understand what you said?"

Xiang Qiang tried hard to explain: "I don't know how to express it, it's just..."

Gao Ye interrupted: "You want to say that this is not like a copy, but the real world, this deserted village does exist, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's how it feels."

Yi Qiubai frowned and said, "If that's the case, aren't we out of the system?"

Gao Ye: "Not necessarily, maybe the system has moved here and integrated it in another way."

The fat man couldn't help interjecting: "Boss, what are you guys talking about, why am I so dizzy?"

Yi Qiubai said succinctly: "What Gao Ye means is that you felt something was wrong just now. It is very likely that you have run into a ghost, not the NPC arranged by the dungeon. It may really be a ghost."

Fatty: "..."

Why do I want to pee so much?

Suddenly seeing several grave mounds not far ahead, everyone walked over.

Xiang Qiang commented: "Isn't this too fussy, and the living and the dead live together?"

Everyone: "???"

Xiang Qiang explained: "I don't know if you have noticed, but we came here and found that many graves are buried around the house."

Fatty: "Does this mean that the dead and the living live together?"

Xiang Qiang nodded, "According to superstition, the living live in the yang world and the dead live in the yin world, but there seems to be no distinction between yin and yang in the village, and they are all mixed together, like a hodgepodge."

After what he said, Yi Qiubai said: "Before the god stick said that the pagoda trees in the village have a deterrent effect, is it just to suppress them?"

Everyone: "..."

It seems reasonable.

The author has something to say: Fengshui metaphysics and so on are all nonsense, refer to the role of the magic stick haha
