Split personality

Every time a player dies, the difficulty of the script increases by one point.In other words, if a player is not killed, the strength of the cat ghost will increase by [-]%.If the cat ghost can still tell the difference between ordinary people and players, it will be like a bolt from the blue to all players.

There are a total of 20 players participating in the script, with varying strengths.If the cat ghosts can tell the difference, they can hide secretly and kill the weakest ones first, and after their strength has greatly increased, they will come to clean up the tough bones... If this is the case, even if the script does not limit their strength, the treatment When it comes to cat ghosts whose strength has doubled, even advanced players may only have a dead end!

"How could a cat ghost tell the difference between a player and an ordinary person?" Li Jia didn't believe it at all. "It must be a coincidence, right? It must be that the player was unlucky, and he happened to meet the cat ghost. Bao Buqi was greedy and wanted to take credit for himself, but was caught by the cat." The ghost killed him."

This is the most likely possibility, but Su Mo subconsciously thinks in the worst direction - if Chu Han is really with the cat ghost, it is easy to distinguish the difference between ordinary ancients and players.

Fan Xingwei and the others did not know about Chu Han's existence, and Su Mo would not tell them about it.Since one person died at the beginning of the script, even with Fan Xingwei and Uncle Qiu in the team, everyone became more cautious.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, the scene down the mountain has changed as expected.Everyone turned around and found that the wild mountain had also undergone obvious changes—from a lush virgin forest to a bare earth mountain without any vegetation.

This change was expected by everyone, and no one was surprised.Looking at the village not far ahead, Fan Xingwei reminded: "Since it is an unofficial history of China, it is very likely that the time is the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties when the cat ghosts lived...the possibility of encountering Qing soldiers cannot be ruled out."

"good."

As an advanced player, Uncle Qiu's experience is obviously richer, "And since there are cat ghosts in the script, there may be other ghosts and ghosts or even capable people and strangers. In short, let's go to the village first, and then change into ancient costumes."

They are still dressed in modern clothes, not to mention cat ghosts, they are aliens in the eyes of normal ancients.Maybe the dead player was for this reason.

Uncle Qiu's proposal was approved by everyone, and they went straight to the village without delay.However, in the middle of the walk, Su Mo suddenly stopped, frowning and looking at the peaceful village in the distance.

Su Mo stopped, and the others naturally stopped too. Fan Xingwei asked, "Why did you stop? Is there something wrong?"

Although Su Mo was the weakest among the crowd, Fan Xingwei, who had completed practical tasks with him, did not underestimate him at all.During the first cooperation, he found that Su Mo could not only keep calm at all times, but also be very careful, and he could always find some details that others overlooked.

"It's too quiet."

Su Mo only said four words, and the others understood what he meant. Uncle Qiu frowned and said, "Not only is it quiet, there is no smoke in the village, and there are no farmers working in the fields outside."

"Should they all be sleeping?"

Li Jia felt that everyone was making a big fuss, so he said impatiently: "The genius is bright, according to this season, it's not even six o'clock, right? It's early in the morning, no one is normal!"

"The ancients worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. Even if there are differences in different places, it is impossible for the whole family to get up?" Wei Xue gave Li Jia a dissatisfied look, "We are doing a script task!"

Those who can become job-changing players have basically experienced a few life-and-death battles, and those who are careless or complacent are basically unable to survive a few rounds.Li Jia is a professional-changing player, so his casual attitude really makes people angry.

Of course, Li Jia cannot be blamed for this.

Although someone is dead now, the script has just begun. According to past experience, the storyline has not yet unfolded, so it should be the safest time.And no matter how you look at the village in front, it is an ordinary village. Except for Su Mo, everyone is a job-changing player. Even if more than half of their abilities are sealed, their physical fitness is far from what ordinary people can match.

"It's never a big mistake to be careful."

Fan Xingwei looked at Li Jia until Li Jia put away his casual attitude, and then said: "This village is not normal, everyone should act together. To be cautious, let's go around from the back of the village."

No one objected, and everyone immediately detoured behind the village.

However, when they were still a few hundred meters away from the village, the crowd stopped again, and their faces changed completely——the smell of blood was so strong that it was disgusting!

Fan Xingwei waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, and he took out a talisman with a solemn expression. The talisman ignited spontaneously without wind between his right fingers, and it was shining with dark green fire.

Until the talisman burned out, Fan Xingwei wiped his eyes again, and then silently looked at the village for a long time.

"There is resentment, especially heavy resentment!"

Heavy resentment means that someone died in vain;

According to Fan Xingwei's description, the whole village was surrounded by strong resentment, and Su Mo could only think of one possibility - Tucun.

"Let's go, everyone must be careful when entering!"

The slaughter of the village was either done by bandits or bandits, or the villagers had offended some important person who could not afford to be offended.The chance of the latter is not high, and after everyone entered the village, they found that it was not the former.

"The Qing soldiers have indeed entered the customs!"

The village was littered with corpses, and judging from their death wounds, it was obvious that they were wounded by military weapons.

"The corpses are all rotten. They should have been dried a few days ago."

With so many corpses in front of them, anyone who saw them would be shocked.Fortunately, everyone is a player, so they can't be yelled at in such a scene. Although Wei Xue's face is a little pale, at least there is no embarrassing scene of vomiting.

"Since the Qing soldiers did it, maybe they are around here." Li Jia suggested, "There is nothing to see here, everyone hurry up and find some new clothes to change!"

Although they are all players, they all love cleanliness from the modern era. If conditions permit, no one wants to wear clothes that will kill people.

"Not right!"

Li Jia dragged Uncle Qiu into a villager's house, and Fan Xingwei, who had been observing the surroundings, suddenly shouted: "Everyone, you'd better not change your clothes, and don't move any plants or trees in the village!"

At this time, Li Jia and Uncle Qiu had just come out. Not only did they change their clothes, but they also got ready for the rest of the people.Seeing Fan Xingwei's ugly face, Uncle Qiu asked, "Is there a problem with the dead?"

Fan Xingwei nodded, "That's right! They've been dead for several days, and some of the corpses have begun to rot, but there isn't even a single fly around. At first I thought it was the morning dew, but now that I think about it, I was careless."

The resentment floating in the air in the village is very strong. According to the normal point of view, it should have just died.But according to the degree of decay of the corpse, it has been several days since the village name was slaughtered, and the resentment should have dissipated long ago.

There is only one possibility for the grievances to condense and not dissipate-they died unjustly, not just as simple as the Qing soldiers passing by and being massacred in the village!

In addition, accumulating grievances for so many days will create even more terrifying scenes...

"evil Dead?"

Wei Xue, who also changed into women's clothes, was surprised: "You mean to say that there is going to be a corpse transformation here?"

Uncle Qiu looked around, although it was strange that there were no flies around the corpse, but the surroundings were so calm, there was no sign of corpse change at all.

"It's not like Dead Man."

Su Mo frowned and said calmly, "Maybe someone did it on purpose."

"on purpose?"

Fan Xingwei knew it right away, "Let me do a divination first."

As he said that, Fan Xingwei took out a gossip array, and after walking around the village, he kept gesticulating on the array.Su Mo and others couldn't understand, so they had to press their minds and wait.

After a while, Fan Xingwei came back and said solemnly: "Failed, I can only figure out that they were killed by the Qing soldiers, but I can't figure out why the Qing soldiers appeared here, and why the villagers' resentment persisted."

"There should be more than one village nearby, let's go and look elsewhere." Uncle Qiu suggested, "It's best to find the location of the county seat."

"Changing clothes?"

Fan Xingwei thought for a while and said, "Let's change it first."

After everyone changed their clothes, they left the village immediately.The strange thing is that they searched the vicinity for a whole day, but they couldn't find any other villages.

As night fell, everyone thought about it, and still felt that it would be safer to return to the mountains.

Just then, another system prompt appeared!

[System prompt: Player Cai Jianming has died, there are eighteen remaining players, and the difficulty of the script has increased;]

"Another one died."

Uncle Qiu said solemnly: "Too fast!"

"Could it be caused by mountains and seas?"

Wei Xue raised a different opinion, "The cat ghost is smart, so it's impossible to tell the difference between players and ordinary people, right? And the cat ghost was released by Shanhai, maybe Shanhai has a way to control it!"

Wei Xue's words are very reliable. If Shanhai can really control the cat ghost, it will undoubtedly be the worst news for them.

"We're too slow."

Su Mo calmly said: "Shan Hai dared to descend the mountain without hesitation after entering the script, it was definitely not because he was afraid of you. The cat ghost was released by them, maybe they know the history of this cat ghost and the means and methods of formation very well."

If this is the case, it means that Shanhai has an absolute advantage innately.

Now, let alone finding the cat ghost, they don't even know who the hero and heroine are in the story.If Shanhai has already found the cat ghost, Bao Buqi will guide the cat ghost to kill the player, or even directly attack the player.

After all, the more players die, the stronger the cat ghost will be.If Shanhai really wants to use the cat ghost to do ulterior motives in the real world, the stronger the cat ghost, the better.And this script is obviously an excellent way to improve the cat ghost's strength!

"The script sent us here, it should not be far from the main plot line." Su Mo looked at Fan Xingwei, "Is there a way to figure out where the nearest town is?"

"Let me try."

Fan Xingwei hesitated for a moment, then took out the gossip plate again.

Surprisingly, this time it went very well, and he soon said with a happy face: "It seems that the village has too much resentment, but it is much easier to deduce it outside the village."

According to Fan Xingwei's calculation, the nearest town is about fifty miles away, neither far nor near.

Everyone wanted to go on the road overnight, but Fan Xingwei stopped him: "No, when I just deduced the town, I also deduced the village that was slaughtered by the way. Although I didn't deduce the real reason why the village was slaughtered, I accidentally discovered that the village around the village The anger is gone!"

"Dispersed?"

Wei Xue smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Although this is a scripted world, everyone is a normal person, and no one hopes that even the soul will not be reborn after death.

"It's really that simple."

Fan Xingwei smiled wryly, "It didn't dissipate, but dispersed!"
