I became a system virus

The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point, and people involuntarily huddled together.

Some players couldn't bear it and said: "Let's go out, it's scary here."

"Yes, yes, let's go out, it's eerie inside, scarier than a ghost village."

The Shiba Inu, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly barked at the statue.

Everyone was terrified immediately.

Wu Yue said nervously: "Chai Chai come here!"

Gao Ye frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "The Shiba Inu is a spirit dog, and the Yasha Ghost is probably alive."

Yi Qiubai's complexion changed, and the fat man next to him almost knelt down.

The big man couldn't bear the low temperature in the temple, so he went out first.

People are leaving.

In the end, only Yi Qiubai and Shengun were left.

Gao Ye said to the fat man, "Let the people outside see the surrounding situation."

The fat man nodded.

The magic stick bit the bullet and said: "Let's look for clues."

Several people in the temple immediately took action.

Yi Qiubai reminded everyone: "Don't disperse too much, pay attention to your feet, in case of traps."

Due to being abandoned for too long, the vermilion paint on the huge wooden pillars in the temple fell off and was severely corroded.

Many tiles are hanging on the beams, crumbling.

The cloth curtain behind Yasha ghost was covered with thick dust, and the candle holders for offerings were tilted to and fro, very messy.

People were searching around when they heard shouts from outside.

Everyone went looking for the sound.

Someone found a piece of written records corroded by wind and sand near the ruined temple.

The stone walls are pitted, and the handwriting is either incomplete or shallow, making it hard to read.

The fat man said: "What is written on it, it looks like a ghost drawing."

Wu Yue: "It seems to be in traditional Chinese."

The magic stick stared straight at the stone wall, and didn't speak, as if he was in a trance.

Seeing him concentrating, Yi Qiubai made a gesture of silence, and everyone shut up wisely.

After a long time, the god stick said solemnly: "This records the origin of the temple and Zhongjia Village."

Yi Qiubai: "The village outside is called Zhongjia Village?"

Shen stick nodded, "There are more than 80 families in the village, most of them are surnamed Zhong."

Gao Ye asked: "Do you know how they got here?"

God stick: "He came here from a refugee." He paused for a moment, looked towards the ditch and said, "The ditch we are in...is a mass grave."

Everyone: "!!!"

The fat man was surprised: "What the hell is a mass grave?"

God stick: "Many captives were massacred during the war, and they were collectively thrown into this ditch, forming a natural tomb."

Fatty: "And then?"

God stick: "The people of Zhongjia Village who fled here didn't know the situation here at first, but they found a lot of bones and then they understood what was going on. But they took a fancy to this place, the terrain is very complicated, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there is turmoil outside It can also be unaffected, so I decided to live and work here in peace."

"Then how did they get rid of those bones? After all, it's a mass grave."

Shenzhu was silent for a moment before saying: "The bones are all buried under our feet."

Everyone: "!!!"

Yi Qiubai frowned and said, "You mean being suppressed by the temple?"

The magic stick nodded, "In order not to be affected by the lonely ghosts, the people of Zhongjia Village collected the bones in the ravine and buried them, and built this big temple to worship the Yasha ghosts."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help showing expressions of sudden realization.

No wonder there are no gods and Buddhas in the temple, but yaksha ghosts, which is a typical way to control evil with evil.

Gao Ye: "Is there any other information on the stone wall?"

God stick: "There is more than one temple in Zhongjia Village, and there are two more at the entrance."

Gao Ye: "Are they all worshiped Yasha ghosts?"

Shen stick shook his head, "I don't know, I have to see it to find out."

Someone asked, "So what do we do next?"

Magic stick: "Naturally, we are looking for clues. The cause of Wang Hao's death was unknown yesterday. We must find out the conditions of death as soon as possible."

Yi Qiubai asked Gao Ye, "Will the death conditions here be like those in the Obon?"

Gao Ye shook his head, "Probably not. I used the copper ring to see everyone in the morning. They were tormented like this yesterday. The Yang fire on everyone's body is still there, and the fire should not be extinguished."

Yi Qiubai lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Another person said: "Then what should we do at night, go back to the ghost village?"

Everyone: "..."

There is a physical resistance to thinking about how everyone is doing this morning.

The big man cried and said: "This place seems to be more lively than a ghost village. Are we going to rest here for a night?"

Everyone: "..."

Resist even more!

"How about going to the other two temples?"

Yi Qiubai: "This move is unreliable. Let's not talk about the situation over there. We don't know the route. If we go there rashly, we don't know what will happen."

Gao Ye: "Or else it's here, anyway, there are big ghosts and little ghosts."

Fatty: "What if a big ghost eats people?"

Gao Ye: "Why don't you go back to Zhongjia Village and wander around in red underpants?"

Fatty: "..."

The heart refuses!

The magic stick said: "Everyone stop talking nonsense, it's important to hurry up and get down to business."

People split up and marked out areas to look for clues.

With the explanation of the temple by the magic stick, everyone is no longer so afraid of the Yasha ghost.

Everyone works together to spare every corner of the temple, and it is bound to turn it upside down.

It is a pity that there was still nothing at noon, and everyone gathered at the gate of the temple to eat dry food to fill their stomachs.

The Shiba Inu sticks out its tongue and wags its tail, Wu Yue breaks off a piece of bread and feeds it.

It sniffed and ran into the temple in disgust.

Gao Ye didn't notice it at first, but later he saw that it was covered in dust, so he couldn't help but take a second look. Unexpectedly, the guy disappeared behind Yasha ghost in the blink of an eye.

Takano was very curious.

Without any hesitation, he got up and poked inside.

The dog's footprints of Shiba Inu disappeared behind Yasha Ghost. He tried to call twice, but there was no response.

Seeing him looking for something around the Yasha ghost, Yi Qiubai walked in and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gao Ye: "The dog is gone."

Yi Qiubai: "???"

Were you still there just now?

Gao Ye raised his head to look at the huge body of Yasha ghost, stretched out his index finger and tapped on it, but he didn't know what material it was made of, it sounded like it was hollow.

Xiang Qiang also came in and asked, "What happened to the statue?"

Yi Qiubai: "Look around, there is probably something famous here."

The three of them searched carefully from bottom to top around Yasha ghost.

After a long time, Yi Qiubai felt a small bump. Although it was covered with dust, it was very smooth and flexible when pressed lightly.

"Takano."

Hearing his cry, Gao Ye and Xiang Qiang came over to check.

Xiang Qiang said, "Could this thing be a mechanism?"

Gao Ye: "Let me try." After a pause, "Stay away from me."

After the two of them backed away, Gao Ye pressed down on the small protrusion, only to hear a "click", and a crack opened on the floor behind Yasha Ghost.

The Shiba Inu got out from under the enshrining table and ran out mischievously.

Takano tried to move the movable floor, and there was indeed a mechanism button hidden underneath.

He pressed the button, remained motionless, then twisted again, and there was a sound from under the desk.

A dull putty gas floated out, and the three of them retreated immediately.

People outside smelled the smell and asked, "What kind of smell is this? It's so strong!"

The magic stick asked curiously, "Did you find anything?"

Yi Qiubai: "There seems to be a tunnel under the desk. It should be that there is no ventilation all year round, and the smell is a bit strong."

Gao Ye said: "Let some people come and move the desk away."

People rushed to lift the desk away, and there was indeed a passage on the ground.

The crowd was overjoyed.

Someone said: "There must be clues to leave the dungeon!"

"Shall we go down and see now?"

"Wait a minute and see if there is any oxygen down there."

After about half an hour, people went down the tunnel to check.

With simple torches and flashlights, the underground world that greeted them was much larger than they imagined.

Several strips of faded yellow cloth were hung in the catacombs, with eerie symbols drawn on them.

Those talismans are vivid, as if they are about to jump out of the cloth, giving people a psychological hint, as if they are living carriers.

A giant incinerator was placed in the very center of the temple. Strange symbols were also drawn on the incinerator. The colors of those symbols were dull and blood-like.

The putty smell wafting out is from here.

When everyone saw the huge cauldron, they were all in awe.

The fat man asked curiously, "Could this stove be used to incinerate bones?"

Magic stick: "It should be, it has a repressive exorcist drawn on it."

Everyone shrank their necks, feeling even more fearful in their hearts.

Yi Qiubai didn't have their sense of fear, so he walked to the edge of the incinerator and looked inside. There was nothing inside, only a little black ashes.

Behind the incinerator is a sacrificial altar built with huge stones. On the altar, there is a squatting small yaksha ghost, which is exactly the same as the one squatting on the ground.

On the table in front of Yasha ghost, there are long-corrupted offerings, and there is a strange pool next to it. There is nothing in the pool, only brown marks are left.

The fat man asked, "What is this for?"

The god stick said solemnly: "Blood pool."

Fatty: "Pretending to be animal blood?"

Magic stick: "It can also contain human blood."

Fatty: "!!!"

God stick: "Don't be wordy, take action to find clues while it's still early."

Everyone split up.

Although the underground was empty, the only things that caught the eye were the incinerator and the altar.

Yi Qiubai seemed to be very interested in the Yasha ghost on the altar. He climbed up and looked at it carefully. Just as he was about to reach out to touch it, Gao Ye reminded at the right time: "Take something and wrap it up."

Yi Qiubai let out a "huh", and immediately pulled off the hanging yellow cloth, and took off the wrapping of the statue, which was not as heavy as imagined.

The fat man said, "Boss, what are you doing with this?"

Yi Qiubai looked at the statue carefully, and found that the base was empty, and the shape inside was very strange. He touched Gao Ye, "Look."

Gao Ye took it for a closer look, and thoughtfully said: "Anyway, it's here..."

Yi Qiubai: "You have to take something with you."

Gao Ye: "Yes, you can't make a trip in vain."

Fatty watched their actions, completely speechless.

Shenzhu also noticed their actions, and frowned, "Do you want to take this thing out?"

Yi Qiubai nodded, and said whimsically, "Do you think if we bring it back to Zhongjia Village, can it calm down the villagers?"

God stick:"……"

Gao Ye: "Would you like to try?"

The magic stick couldn't take it anymore, "You two are crazy, this thing is made by the villagers, how can they tolerate your misconduct?"

Xiang Qiang interjected unexpectedly: "What they like to do most is to act recklessly."

God stick:"……"

Xiang Qiang: "Do you think their behavior is reliable from yesterday to now?"

The magic stick thought about it seriously, and neither spoke nor stopped him.

Gao Ye rushed to Qiang and gestured, and he blinked in understanding.

In the end, everyone did not find any useful clues in the underground tomb, Gao Ye said: "Let's go up first and then talk about it."

After the group climbed up, some players asked, "Brother Ye, what did you bring the statue out for?"

Takano showed them the base of the statue.

One can't help but wonder.

Wu Yue asked curiously, "Why is it hollow?"

Yi Qiubai: "This thing might be useful, so we brought it out."

The big guy was still concerned about the night's accommodation, "I've almost found all the clues in the temple, what should I do next?"

"Back to the village?"

"If you go back the same way now, it will probably be dark."

Everyone was silent for a while. They neither wanted to stay here nor go back to the village. This was indeed a problem.

Gao Ye didn't plan to stay in the village at night, and said: "Every household in the village has prepared a thin coffin for us, I don't want to go back anyway."

Xiang Qiang said calmly, "Where Brother Ye is, I will be there."

Fatty: "Me too."

People hesitate.

The magic stick considered the current situation. If he went back now, it would be dark. In addition, there was no way to avoid accidents at present, so he hesitated.

Everyone worriedly discussed whether to stay or not.

Yi Qiubai and the others looked for a suitable place to stay on their own.

Wu Yue asked: "Do you want to be in the temple at night?"

Yi Qiubai shook his head, "It's best not to."

Wu Yue: "This is a mass grave after all, I'm still worried about accidents."

Xiang Qiang comforted him: "There are big ghosts in town, and the little ghosts don't dare to do anything to us, just be afraid..." As he spoke, he glanced at the Yasha ghost inside, and hesitated to speak.

The fat man said optimistically, "Hey, we have a skeleton man, its fighting power is so powerful, don't be afraid."

Yi Qiubai: "Where's the skeleton man?"

Fatty: "..."

That's right, where did that guy go to act wild?

Later, a group of people from Shenzhu gathered together and planned to stay in the temple at night.

Gao Ye arranged for everyone to collect dry firewood and save it for lighting a fire at night.

People work together.

Wu Yue specially found the dog, tied it up according to Gao Ye's intention, and said that he needed it to guard the door at night.

Everyone looked at the little milk dog with indescribable expressions.

After getting everything ready, everyone sat on the platform outside the temple to rest as the sky darkened.

The god stick said: "Shall we go to find the other two temples at the entrance of the village tomorrow morning?"

Takano nodded, "The village is located in a ravine, you should be able to find it along the ravine."

Yi Qiubai: "At present, we have learned the general background of the dungeon, but we need to understand the situation of the other two temples in order to understand what is going on."

Shen stick nodded in agreement, "I hope tonight will be safe and sound."

Everyone hopes to be safe and sound, but the dungeon is a deadly machine without any mercy. As long as someone triggers the rules it sets, it will be death, and there is no chance for negotiation.

As night fell quietly, people who were tired all day silently lit a fire.

After a while, the fog filled the air, and the entire deserted temple was shrouded in darkness, making it extremely quiet.

The people had a tacit understanding and didn't make any noise. In fact, they all raised their ears to listen to the movement inside.

Yi Qiubai sat by the fire and fiddled with the statue, trying to get a glimpse of the secret.

Everyone silently looked at the little Yasha ghost in his hand, fearing the big one inside.

Near midnight, noises began to be heard in the silent valley, and sobbing and crying filled every corner of the valley with tragic wails of pain.

Countless faint green lights penetrated the thick fog and wandered towards the temple.

Some of them have mutilated limbs, some are as rigid as corpses, and they rush forward like thousands of horses with the momentum of breaking through the iron cavalry.

People's scalps suddenly exploded!

Fatty was shocked by the appalling scene, and blurted out, "Fuck! So many fireflies?!"

Everyone: "..."

Brother, you are so fucking good at telling cold jokes!
