Higher Human Advancement Regulations
Chapter 49 Daughter Red Line (13)
"Grandpa said that there had been no new baby girls in the village for a long time.
Maybe it was bad feng shui, or maybe they were cursed. "
Not far away, the two female ghosts who have been on opposite sides since the beginning have been fighting hard.
After the death of the village chief, it seemed that the backbone was broken, and the whole village was like a group of chickens waiting to be slaughtered, trembling.
The boy didn't look sideways, and his voice was like an unresponsive echo from an ancient glacier.
"No one is born sinful, but we are."
Shengkai and Wen Renxiao exchanged glances, then nodded slightly.
The timing of this boy's appearance was very wrong, as if he had waited for this time to come out and explain the setting of this secret room to them, which gave people a very deliberate feeling.
According to what he said before, he and the headless female ghost should belong to the same group.
The sacrifices in the village are divided into two types, one is for the bride of a certain river god, and the other is the current head sacrifice.
The two kinds of sacrifices and the villagers' different attitudes towards the two female ghosts made Shengkai guess a certain possibility.
While paying attention to the movements of the villagers, he listened to the boy's narration.
This village has the characteristics that all closed and backward areas should have.
Play down the law, follow the crowd ignorantly, and be extremely united.
For generations, the clan has not left behind any ability to benefit future generations, but has passed down an idea that is unimaginable to outsiders.
Baby girl, born sinful.
Of course, not all baby girls are guilty.
When a baby girl is born, the village chief will hold a head sacrifice, and let the most valiant man in the village decide whether she will live or not under the guidance of "the will of heaven".
Innocent people were beheaded, and the blood was scalded between the eyebrows of the newborn baby girl. If it condensed into beads, she could survive; if not, she would be used as a sacrifice and sacrificed to the river god.
What happened to the sacrifice?
River God, water also.
The villagers firmly believe that water can overcome fire.
Those baby girls who failed to be favored by the goddess of fate will be set on a pile of firewood after the ceremony is over.
At the very beginning, the baby girl will cry, but when the fire gets hotter, the crying will gradually fade away with the vitality.
The pain of being burned by the flames when awake will make these newborn children struggle continuously. The charred skin and flesh are glued together with the ashes of the firewood, and the skeleton becomes fish food.
In the end, they were tied to stones and sank to the bottom of the river, as if they had never come to this world.
Everyone's eyes fell on the figure fighting the headless female ghost.
They hadn't been able to take a closer look at this female ghost before, partly because her appearance was too horrible to look at.
But now comparing the two, everyone immediately understood that "she" was the baby girls who became sacrifices.
There is no shortage of innocent people in the world.
No matter what kind of innocence, in these dark corners like villages, an old acne has grown.
Shenghua twitched the corners of her mouth and asked:
"What was the curse you first mentioned?"
The boy moved, only to discover that there was a chap on his sallow right cheek.
The blue blood vessels under the skin are clearly visible, they slowly drilled out from the deeper tissues like insects, gradually tending to cover the entire face.
From the perspective of blooming, it looks like a red line.
He took a step back subconsciously, and then heard the boy say:
"A curse is a curse. Too many baby girls are killed, and no matter how many grandmas in the village give birth, almost all of them are baby boys."
The ridiculous thing is that although the village has almost deformed persecution of baby girls, if they want to reproduce and continue the genes of their ancestors, they must rely on women.
Decades passed, and when no more baby girls were born in the village, the village chief began to panic.
"I've never met the river god. Grandpa said that the river god is in your heart. Only if you believe in it can it protect you."
The boy smiled, and there was undisguised sarcasm in his eyes, "But grandpa is so pious, and the river god still hasn't blessed us. It can be seen that the river god is a liar and a devil."
Girl babies are becoming increasingly rare in villages.
But even so, they still insisted on offering sacrifices.
Until the whole village can no longer find a baby girl.
However, this matter is not the end. Not only is the baby girl gone, even the grown-up woman suffers from a strange disease for a period of time, and then dies quickly.
So far, the whole village has become a man's village through and through.
Nie Zheng:
"Didn't you take a walk outside the village?"
The boy paused and glanced at Nie Zheng.
Nie Zheng's back felt chilled by this look, and he quickly touched his nose to hide his embarrassment.
Zhuang Han said:
"They can carry out this kind of inhumane sacrifice, and you still expect them to stretch out their hands?"
"This sister is very smart."
The boy smiled sweetly, "Grandpa did think of a way."
Everyone's expressions changed.
head sacrifice...
The villagers who grew up here have taken the mountains and rivers here as their roots for generations.
Even if they were to die, they would not vacate this land and go far away.
If you can't leave, you can only let people from other places come in.
Without reproduction, the village can only pin its hopes on women from other places.
Those gorgeous and young winter jasmines may have been looking forward to living a concubine-like life with their husbands, but they didn't know that the moment she stepped on the sedan chair, she had already entered the gate of hell.
The new house has also become a hell full of phantoms.
Yan Sichao shook his head and said:
"No, you are already so short of women, why don't you just trick them into having children, but kill them as sacrifices?"
The boy opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Wen Renxiao:
"Because something happened again."
"What happened?"
The red marks on the boy's face have become more obvious after so long, densely packed like spider webs.
The headless female ghost in the distance entangled the baby girl with a red thread, but because the latter's flesh and blood had long been separated, the red thread was embedded in the black blood, and could only bring up a few pieces of flesh and blood from time to time, but could not completely bind her. .
Someone in the village shouted:
"Kill her!"
The sound went from zero to full, one after another.
There is a lot of excitement in the distance, but it seems to have nothing to do with this place.
The boy's eyes fell on the headless female ghost, and then trembled slightly.
"Because the baby girl turned back."
Being treated so cruelly by the villagers, how can a curse be enough.
When the number of females in the village becomes zero, the baby girl begins to attack the rest.
Headed by the village chief, the villagers contributed various methods, but in the end they all ended up without a cure.
The threat of the baby girl hangs over every villager's head like a guillotine, and they have no choice but to sacrifice their heads.
However, the people in the village cannot be killed.
Therefore, the village head can only use the bride as a sacrifice, and the sacrifice is the baby girl who persecuted them.
As a baby girl who worships the god, after being forced to accept worship as the new "river god" of the villagers, she must protect these so-called people.
How ironic.
Yan Sichao suddenly said:
"So they can fight?"
This kind of evil method can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
So when the headless female ghost is also out of control, the villagers really have no way to go to heaven or earth.
But in the final analysis, the headless female ghost, like the baby girl, is a poor persecuted person.
After the boy finished speaking, the last gleam of light in his eyes was silently extinguished.
Blooming suddenly said:
"Finished?"
The boy was stunned for a moment, and looked at the blooming eyes with some confusion.
"Just finish talking, it's my turn to ask questions."
Shenghua walked a few steps closer, put the long knife on the ground in front of him, and leaned casually, "The first question, are you a girl or a boy?"
The boy frowned, and before he opened his mouth, he heard the man on the opposite side say:
"You are the NPC delivered to your door, be conscious and don't lie.
To be honest, we can help you get out of this secret room. "
The boy's eyes widened:
"you……"
Wen Renxiao glanced at Shengkai lightly, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
The boy muttered twice, and replied resignedly:
"girl."
After finishing speaking, she quickly raised her head and said quickly, "What you said is true?
I……"
"second question."
Shenghua interrupted her mercilessly, "What should we do now?"
"what?"
The girl who had been exposed was stunned, as if she hadn't had time to keep up with the speed of Blooming's thinking, and was almost thrown out.
Up to now, a few of them are surrounded here, and the battlefield on the other side is being fought inextricably, as if it has nothing to do with them.
Then, the role of the girl in front of me is worth studying.
Living up to expectations, the girl drooped her shoulders helplessly under the coercion and lure of blooming.
At the same time, everyone heard a crisp sound of "ding" in their heads.
"Trigger the deadlock key!
Choose one of the two multiple choice questions - bride or baby girl, the countdown begins. "
Dead end?
It's in full bloom, and I couldn't help but take a breath when I heard these two words.
When did they enter the deadlock?
Shengkai's mind was spinning fast for a moment, and he went through the scene after entering the secret room in an instant.
Is it the skeletonization when unlocking Kong Mingsuo?
Or that neglected skull in the ground?
Or did Andrew tamper with it?
When he thought of Shu He's condition when he came out of the secret room, a chill rushed over his head.
Suddenly, Shengkai felt that his hand was wrapped in something warm.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Renxiao's gentle voice came from the side of his ear:
"Sheng Sheng, take a deep breath."
Blooming suddenly regained consciousness.
After scanning around, Shengkai realized that everyone's eyes were on them.
His heart was still beating wildly, and his palms were covered with sweat.
But even he himself couldn't figure out why he reacted so strongly to the word dead end.
So he naturally didn't see Zhuang Han's worried eyes.
Wen Renxiao patted the back of Blooming's hand lightly, walked up to the girl, and said softly:
"Excuse me, can you tell us how to choose this multiple-choice question?"
His gaze was obviously not threatening, but the girl was startled when he stared abruptly.
It was probably the first time for the girl to encounter a reviewer who directly asked the NPC for an answer, and she was speechless for a while.
Wen Renxiao:
"It seems that I don't know."
"I know!"
The girl quickly said, "The bride wants to slaughter the village, and the baby girl wants to protect the villagers. You just need to choose one answer."
only need to?
Wen Renxiao smiled lightly.
Leaving aside the girl's role other than being an NPC, the options under these two deadlocks alone are already fatal.
After all, it’s still a puzzle.
The sister the girl keeps talking about has not been clearly pointed to so far. Wen Renxiao has to suspect that this sister may be the baby girl.
And the village was already full of men not long after the baby girl was cursed, so how did she come out as a girl?
The smile on Wen Renxiao's face remained unchanged. Before everyone could react, he picked up the girl with one hand and threw it neatly between the two female ghosts.
