deadly round table
Chapter 26
Jiang Wenyuan walked through endless dark thorns alone, his perception of time became dull, he didn't know how long he had walked, fatigue and fear made his feet extremely heavy, and he slowly sank into the quagmire.
"Finger moved!" Jiang Wenyuan felt someone shaking his body, "Wake up, Chen Mian, wake up!!"
The man was still calling him persistently, making Jiang Wenyuan's brain ache from the noise. Maybe it was because he wanted to tell the man to shut up too strongly. it.
Jiang Wenyuan opened his eyes and saw Baimei's magnified face. She looked anxious, held his shoulders with both hands, and shook him vigorously with all her strength, "Wake up, you finally woke up!"
Jiang Wenyuan rubbed his temples to relieve the tingling pain in his head, and sat up with Baimei's support. He was sitting on the bunk, and his clothes had already been changed. The light gray blouse and trousers of the same color did not fit well. .He looked at the window sill, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room, "Where are Zuo Zhixing and Li Na?"
"After we rescued you, you have been in a coma. I stayed to take care of you, and they continued to find the cause of the outbreak." Baimei handed him a cup of strong tea to dispel the cold, "According to the time, they are about the same It's time to come back. You drink your tea, and I'll bring you some food."
After Baimei closed the door, Jiang Wenyuan heaved a sigh of relief, the calm mask on his face fell off, he squeezed the teacup hard, and put the weight on his bent knees, his body trembled slightly, the feeling of being submerged by the river still remained on his skin On, it was icy cold.
Jiang Wenyuan's fragility didn't last long. When Baimei came back with dinner, he returned to his expressionless face.
When Baimei went to get dinner, she happened to meet Zuo Zhixing and Li Na, and they simply took the dinner upstairs together to eat with Jiang Wenyuan.
The clothes on Zuo Zhixing were not the ones that Jiang Wenyuan saw in the morning. It seemed that Zuo Zhixing was the one who jumped into the water and rescued him ashore.
"Thank you for saving me." Jiang Wenyuan said to Zuo Zhixing while holding the bowl.
Zuo Zhixing sat on the outermost side of the bunk, "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. I risked going into the water to save you today, and you will have to pay it back in the future."
"Of course." Jiang Wenyuan replied seriously, "This round of the game only prepares a change of clothes for each player. Where did the clothes we are wearing now come from?"
Li Na said in a low voice: "Brother Zuo carried Brother Chen back to the hotel, and Sister Baimei checked Brother Chen's satchel. I had nothing to do by myself. I thought I could help you a little, so I borrowed two bags from the hotel owner." Clean clothes."
Speaking of this, Zuo Zhixing became a little angry, "It's also my fault for not being cautious enough. I didn't know it was the hotel owner's clothes until I put it on."
"Just wear it. Even if you rescued me, are you still afraid of wearing the clothes of a hotel owner who is suspected of being sick?" Jiang asked Yuan Xinda and said, "Just to verify whether the strange disease can be transmitted through contact."
Zuo Zhixing raised his eyebrows, he actually thought so in his heart, otherwise it would be impossible to act together with Li Na who caused a catastrophe.He was a little curious. Jiang Wenyuan's current performance was still in line with the high evaluation of the round table. He was ranked at the back of the round table because he accidentally entered the game. How did Jiang Wenyuan fall out of the top position?
The food provided by the hotel was still unpalatable and of a very high standard. Several people gulped down dates and finished their dinner at a faster speed.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, Baimei lit the candles in the house, and under the dim candlelight, they began to communicate and sort out today's harvest.
"After I fell into the water, I heard a woman crying. She gave me a feeling full of resentment, and it was probably a ghost related to dolls." Jiang Wenyuan turned to look at Zuo Zhixing beside him, "Go into the water and rescue her." When I was there, did you hear any sound?"
Zuo Zhixing shook his head, "I didn't hear the sound, but there is indeed something in the water."
"When I checked your satchel, the zipper of the satchel was sealed intact, but I found that there was something missing in it. You can check if there is anything else missing." Baimei put the dried items on the bunk for medical use Gloves, masks, cell phones, swiss army knives and more...
Jiang Wenyuan looked at these things and frowned, "You bring me the satchel."
Baimei hurriedly handed him the wet satchel hanging on the wall, and Jiang Wenyuan searched through every compartment of the satchel, "My ring is missing."
"Isn't it like this?" Zuo Zhixing took away the packaging bag containing the mask, revealing two soft rings woven with string.
Jiang Wenyuan pursed his lips into a line, and shook his head, "I still have a platinum ring, which I put in my bag."
The same goes for the four dead people next door. The rings that looked inferior were not taken away, but the silver rings of the female players.
Bai Mei said quietly: "So, the unknown person who killed the player, and the monster in the river, all they want is money?"
"Sister Baimei, don't scare me." Li Na trembled, her eyes turned red from fright, "Could it be that the missing tooth samples in Brother Chen's bag belong to Cai..."
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and everyone's eyes focused on Li Na.Seeing that no one answered her question, Li Na became even more frightened, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, your analysis makes sense." Zuo Zhixing rubbed his chin, turned his head to look at Jiang Wenyuan, who had a bad face when he found the ring missing, "Four people next door were killed, and Chen Mian got sick, probably because of greed. You shouldn't be greedy for money."
After receiving Jiang Wenyuan's sting, Zuo Zhixing took out a roll of parchment as if nothing had happened, "Li Na and I went to the church in the afternoon. There is a small library next to the church's confessional, where we found Monaga's simple compilation. History."
Zuo Zhixing moved Jiang Wenyuan's things aside, and spread the parchment on the bunk.After they came to this game world, there was no barrier to language communication with NPCs, and the text was the same, all translated into Chinese characters they were familiar with. "The records in the chronicles are relatively simple, and the major events that happened every year can be summarized in three or five sentences. Li Na and I have read the chronicles of the past 50 years, and the one that caught our attention the most is the chronicle of 1396."
The latest record of the year is 1430. A few words are written from the beginning to the end of the year. The weather is good, the harvest is fruitful, the number of newborns is gratifying, etc. It should be the record of last year.From this calculation, 1396, that is, 35 years ago.
Baimei guarded Jiang Wenyuan who was unconscious in the afternoon, and did not participate in the search. The two got together and read the annals of 1396.
The Chronicle of 1396 is longer than any other year.
In summary, the content is as follows:
Monaga was plagued by natural disasters back then, the fields were devoid of harvests, and epidemics raged. Villagers died one after another, and the number of people in Monaga shrank by nearly half.There is no unparalleled road, and the first snow in winter brought a passing noble lady to Monaga. That kind-hearted noble lady gave Monaga a batch of life-saving special medicine for free.With the help of specific medicines, the threat of the disease has been alleviated, and the situation in Monaga is getting better day by day.
The epidemic broke out in 1396, and now the player enters the game in 1431, it is another deadly epidemic.
Is there any connection between these two epidemics?
Zuo Zhixing clicked on the words "epidemic" on the parchment, "We want to know the situation of the epidemic back then, but there is only a brief history in the church, so we tried to go to the village chief's house. The village chief's handbook passed down from generation to generation , has a detailed introduction to this epidemic. In 1396, there were heavy rains and floods. The epidemic in Monica was caused by dysentery caused by unclean drinking water, which is not the same thing as the strange dental disease we are facing now.”
Jiang Wenyuan asked Zuo Zhixing: "About the noble lady who gave the medicine, what did you find out?"
"I have something to say." Li Na raised her hands high, "Sofia forbade us to enter the house, so Brother Zuo was responsible for diverting Sophia away, and I went into the house to find information. Before the operation started, Brother Zuo also specially told us I want to find the information of this noble lady. I carefully read the records of 1396 from beginning to end, and there is only one sentence about the noble lady's record, which is exactly the same as that in the brief history, 'The person who did not want to be named Miss, kindly gave us a batch of special medicines for free, and taught us how to purify water, how to prevent diseases in daily life, and help Monica to overcome the difficulties of the disease.'I swear to God, I never missed it. look."
Jiang Wenyuan glanced silently at Zuo Zhixing. Zuo Zhixing used to push the glasses on the bridge of his nose, but found that he fell asleep and went into the game without glasses. The records of Miss Noble have been torn out."
Jiang Wenyuan felt that what Zuo Zhixing said now must have been embellished. With his poisonous tongue and misogynistic character, he would be a critical blow as soon as he opened his mouth. Otherwise, Li Na would not have risked offending Zuo Zhixing to prove that she did not wrong.
"Look here." Jiang Wenyuan pointed to the parchment, "In the early spring of 1397, Monaga built a water mill and windmill facing the river in the north of the village. The natural disaster has passed, and with the help of the water mill and windmill, Monaga Farming has grown."
Baimei took the parchment and carefully read the brief history in 1397, "Monaica suffered from natural disasters, the grain depot was in a hurry, and there was a shortage of manpower. How did they build the water mill and windmill in the second year after the natural disaster? .Where did they get the money? Could it be..."
Jiang Wenyuan said calmly: "Although we haven't found any information about the noble lady, but according to the scenario, imagine that the flood was raging at that time, many places were affected by disasters, and epidemics were rampant. What kind of noble lady would appear at this time? Monaga can also generously donate a batch of specific medicines against dysentery to Monaga.”
Li Na continued to think about the situation given by Jiang Wenyuan, and finally understood why Jiang Wenyuan and Zuo Zhixing valued the noble lady, "Did that noble lady come here for disaster relief?"
"The misfortune that happens to players is usually the reflection of ghosts. What is happening to us now? Killing people and robbing money!" Jiang Wenyuan looked at the two soft rings pushed to the corner, "If Monajia The money to build the water mill and windmill came from this noble lady, so Namo Narika has reason to wipe out the information about her."
Li Na entered the game for the first time, and she couldn't accept Jiang Wenyuan's conjecture, "Could it be that you made a mistake? That noble lady helped Moraga survive dysentery. Why did they want to repay their kindness?"
Bai Mei patted Li Na's shoulder and shook her head, "There are some things that don't need to be delved into. We should pay more attention to how to live."
Zuo Zhixing took the parchment from Jiang Wenyuan's hand, "Then our main task tomorrow is to find evidence that the villagers of Monaga have conspired to kill the noble lady. Once verified, the strange tooth disease that broke out in Monaga is very serious. It may be the revenge of the noble lady against Monaga."
"Too slow." Jiang Wenyuan said coldly.
Zuo Zhixing was stunned, "What?"
Jiang Wenyuan's eyes still stayed on the two soft rings. As soon as he thought of the platinum ring that Chen Mian left him being taken away, he would feel an evil fire in his heart. He turned his head and looked at the other three people. Sweeping, "I mean it's too late to wait until tomorrow to find evidence. I have a way to confirm my guess as soon as possible. Li Na, Zuo Zhixing, you stay here tonight and don't leave."
Baimei leaned over, "What can I do?"
Jiang Wenyuan told them the solution he thought of.
In this regard, Li Na, who has little knowledge, sincerely praised: "Brother Chen is really amazing, he can come up with such an amazing method!"
Left: Game tycoon Zhixing who has experienced ups and downs: "..."
Baimei covered her face deeply, "What kind of coquettish operation is this??!!"
Jiang Wenyuan said indifferently: "Just say what you want to do."
The other three looked at each other, "Of course it is!"
That night, late at night, with no wind, the last quarter moon.
Four figures came down from the second floor of the hotel. They moved lightly, turned out of the hotel through the back door of the kitchen on the first floor, and walked towards the hotel owner's house.These four people are Jiang Wenyuan and the others.
The four of them dispersed to different locations according to the agreed plan, and surrounded the hotel owner's home.
Jiang Wenyuan stood at the door of the hotel owner's house, knocking heavily and slowly on the door again and again.
The quality of sleep of the hotel owner was very poor. He was awakened by knocking on the door at once. He lay on the bed, motionless, trying to pretend to be asleep, and did not dare to open the door.
However, the four people outside the house did not intend to let him go. After Jiang Wenyuan stopped knocking on the door, Zuo Zhixing, who was squatting in the kitchen, immediately took action. He smashed a stone through the kitchen window, and the stone fell into the kitchen. It rolled on the ground a few times before stopping.
The hotel owner's nerves became even weaker. How could the things outside suddenly teleport from the door to the kitchen, and the kitchen was smashed into stones one after another, and these stones hit his heart like a heavy hammer.
Zuo Zhixing walked up to Li Na after smashing the rocks, and helped her stabilize the ladder.Li Na climbed up the ladder and pointed the pre-recorded mobile phone recording at the chimney, "I gave you special medicine and taught you how to prevent dysentery. Why did you kill me? Why did you kill me? Why did you kill me?" Me! Why! Kill me!!"
The carefully edited cries are so permeating that they travel down the living room fireplace to the hotel owner, who is about to collapse as he covers his head with the quilt.
Li Na waved to Bai Mei who was waiting by the window of the bedroom, and turned off the phone's recording.
Snapped!Baimei, wrapped in a white cloth, flashed out of the bedroom window, spread her hands and fingers, and slapped on the glass window. Her nails slid down the window slats, making a piercing scratching sound, "Why did you kill me?"
The hotel owner was finally frightened by a series of seamless movements. He curled up at the foot of the bed, looked at the white shadow outside the window, and cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Monaga is sorry for you! But I was only a five-year-old I don't know anything, boy, I didn't eat your meat, and I didn't use..."
Baimei opened the window, and the four of them had already gathered, all eyes were on the hotel owner.Jiang Wenyuan looked at him coldly, "Should you confess to us what happened in Monagara 35 years ago, and what happened to eating meat?"
The hotel owner's face was covered with tears and snot, and his facial features were distorted. He was caught in the act and had no chance to refute.Perhaps because the sinful secrets in his heart were exposed, the hotel owner gradually calmed down, "Come in. I will tell you everything."
Jiang Wenyuan dared to pretend to be a ghost to scare NPCs in a world where there are real ghosts, and he succeeded.
The mood of the remaining three people is very complicated.
"Then go and open it for us—" Li Na didn't even have time to say a word, and Jiang Wenyuan leaned on the window sill with one hand, turned over and entered the hotel owner's bedroom, and didn't even want to wait for a detour to walk through the door. .Zuo Zhixing was the second to enter the room, and with the help of him and Jiang Wenyuan, Baimei and Li Na also successfully climbed into the hotel owner's bedroom through the window.
When the four of them entered the room, the hotel owner wiped his face clean and simply arranged his appearance.
The hotel owner lit the candlestick in the bedroom, and five people sat around the table, waiting for the hotel owner's confession.
The innkeeper's name was Leo. In 1396, he was not yet five years old.
When the kind noble lady came to Monalica, Leo had been sick for six days. At that time, he had diarrhea every day, and he was so thin that he was out of shape.The fields were completely destroyed by the flood that year, and there was not much food left at home. Leo could only eat a few mouthfuls of cold wheat porridge every day. Maybe he would starve to death before dying of illness.
Miss Noble's special medicine cured many people, and Leo was one of them.To Leo, the noble lady is like an angel.After the epidemic was brought under control, the noble lady proposed to leave Monaga, and she would continue to visit the next disaster-stricken place.When the noble lady was persuaded by enthusiastic adults to stay for one more night, little Leo was secretly happy for a long time.Leo didn't even dare to think that such a cruel thing would happen later...
The old village chief gathered the strength of the whole village and set up a banquet for the noble lady and her guards.Based on the situation in Monica at that time, the banquet prepared was very simple, but the noble lady did not dislike it and took the guards to the banquet together.
The noble lady never expected that the village chief would drug her and the guards in the wine.The captain of the guard had been exposed to drugs, but when he discovered something was wrong, it was too late.The captain of the guard was extremely powerful in combat. He killed several villagers, but he alone could not defeat the villagers who had turned into devils in their hearts.
Children were strictly forbidden to attend the banquet, but Leo wanted to see the noble lady very much, and the prestige of his parents disappeared when they were unwilling to feed him. Leo violated the adults' prohibition and came to the banquet scene secretly. In the corner, I thought about finding an opportunity to be alone with the noble lady and talk.He witnessed with his own eyes that the adults in the village chopped off the heads of the guards like melons, leaving only the noble lady alone.
The villagers spared the noble lady's life, not because the noble lady saved them, what they want is the noble lady's key.In the car of the noble lady, there is a treasure box full of gems and gold coins. The key to the treasure box is divided into two halves, one half is carried by the noble lady, and the other half is hidden.
The noble lady was tied up with a rope and woke up by a basin of ice water. She watched the nightmare scene and the devil-like villagers, and said something that Leo would never forget in her life.She said: I swear to hell, I will give back to Monica a hundred times and a thousand times what I have suffered today!
After saying this, the noble lady stopped speaking. No matter how the villagers tortured her, there was no way for her to utter another word.The blood-soaked lady of the nobleman actually made her tormentors fearless for no reason.
In the end, the body of the noble lady could not sustain the torture of the villagers, and she died silently with her eyes open.The villagers were afraid of the curse of the noble lady, and they did extremely cruel things to the noble lady.They knocked out the noble lady's teeth, pulled out her tongue, so that she could not use words to bargain with the devil of hell; they broke every finger of the noble lady, so that she could not write her grievances by hand.
Not all the people in Monaga are devoid of conscience. In order to tie the whole village to the boat, the villagers who murdered the noble lady violently destroyed the treasure chest of the noble lady, removed some of the damaged gems, and distributed most of the treasure to the whole village.Dividing the stolen goods was not enough, they frantically peeled off the noble lady's meat and boiled it into broth for the whole village to share.
In this way, the whole village of Monalijia is an accomplice.
Leo escaped the noble lady's broth, and tried his best to avoid the treasure distributed to their households, but he couldn't escape the water mill and windmill built with the noble lady's money.Water mills and windmills drive farming, and the food produced enters the mouths of every villager in Monaga.
Spitting out the secrets that had been buried in his heart for many years, Leo looked tired, as if he had aged several years in an instant, "I often have a feeling that Monica is like a huge monster, rooted in the noble lady, killing her probably because of this sense of guilt, I couldn’t bring girls from outside to Monaga, and I couldn’t fall in love with girls from Monaga, and I haven’t been able to get married until now.”
Leo clasped his hands with ten fingers, put his head down on his hands, and made a prayer posture, "Since I became independent, I have been working hard to accumulate property and get back the gems sold by the villagers. I couldn't do it for the noble lady back then. Anything, now that I have the ability, at least I want to return her lost treasure. I didn't expect that before I could atone for my sins, Monaliga would have an unexplainable strange disease. The added curse..."
When the four of them left Leo's house, Jiang Wenyuan asked him a question, "Leo, you have been calling her Miss Noble, what is her name?"
Leo was silent for a long time before he said: "Monaga has committed such a serious crime, I am not qualified to say her name. You can ask Sophia, she enshrines the spirit card of the noble lady."
The four returned to their room on the second floor of the hotel.
Li Na started to wipe tears silently when Leo was halfway through speaking, and now she finally stopped crying, her voice was very hoarse, "Miss Noble is so pitiful, and so is Leo."
Baimei didn't cry, but she was also a little depressed, "Oh, they are all poor people."
Jiang Wenyuan and Zuo Zhixing looked at each other silently. Women are really synonymous with sensuality, and they are very deceiving.
Jiang Wenyuan had to remind them, "Just listen to what Leo says, don't believe everything."
"When we pretended to be a ghost to scare Leo, he was terribly frightened. If he didn't have a ghost in his heart, could he be frightened like that?" Zuo Zhixing also poured cold water on him, "And listening to his story, the whole story has been very frightening. Cleverly excused himself, if he really felt guilty for the noble lady, it would definitely not be this way of narrative."
Jiang Wenyuan nodded in agreement, "The flaw Zuo Zhixing said is relatively difficult to find, you two can think about it carefully, Leo has revealed a big flaw."
As soon as Jiang Wenyuan finished speaking, Baimei immediately responded, "I understand!"
Jiang Wenyuan gestured to seal his lips, "Give Li Na some time and let her think for herself."
Li Na thought hard, but she didn't understand it for a long time. She looked at everyone blankly, "I really don't know."
Baimei pointed to the wall and reminded Li Na, "Think again."
Li Na stared at the wall Baimei was pointing at. There was nothing on the wall except dust.Suddenly, she shuddered, there was nothing on the wall, but there was on the other side!Four players died across the wall yesterday!
Li Na said very quickly: "We have analyzed the cause of death of the four players next door. They were greedy for money that they shouldn't be greedy, so they were killed. Brother Chen just took away a few teeth and contracted a strange disease. Lei Ou said he accumulated property and retrieved stray gems. How did he survive to this day without incident?"
Jiang Wenyuan yawned, "How do I know how Leo survived to this day, go to bed quickly, there is still a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Zuo Zhixing quickly occupied the bed in the corner of the bunk, "Chen Mian, you sleep next to me."
Jiang Wenyuan complained silently in his heart that there were so many problems, so he lay down beside him.
Baimei took the thin quilt she put on last night, lay down next to Jiang Wenyuan, and thoughtfully gave up the bed in the other corner to Li Na.
Li Na looked at the three hot chicken teammates who quickly fell asleep: "..."
These people teased her so passionately that she wanted to lick Leo deeply, leaving no underwear left, but in the end they all fell asleep. Her game level is limited, so how could she be able to lick Leo by herself.Li Na climbed onto the bunk resentfully. She thought she might suffer from insomnia, but sleepiness is contagious, and she didn't know how she fell asleep.
The second day, 05:30 in the morning.
Zuo Zhixing's cell phone alarm clock rang very Spartan, waking up the few people who had only slept for less than four hours.
Jiang Wenyuan sat up while supporting his bluntly aching head, and shouted to the energetic Zuo Zhixing, "Are you a devil?"
Zuo Zhixing has already changed Leo's clothes, and put on the pajamas he wore when he entered the game again, "Leo's words remind us that the food, drinking water, and even Leo's clothes provided by the hotel, in a certain sense Generally speaking, it may be a derivative of the property of the noble lady. From today until the day we clear the game, we must rely on ourselves to forage in the wild. The early bird catches the worm."
Every word Zuo Zhixing said was convincing, and Jiang Wenyuan couldn't find a reason to refute it. Baimei and Li Na could only give up struggling and got up under Zuo Zhixing's urging.
The four of them wore the clothes they had entered the game and walked along the river to the upper reaches of Moraga, making sure that they had nothing to do with the noble lady's sphere of influence before they started looking for food.
Jiang Wenyuan's survival skills in the wild are good, and there is no need to guess the source of the skills, of course it is Chen Mian.He held Zuo Zhixing's harpoon cut from a tree branch with one hand, and he speared three big fat fish in a row in the shallow water.Jiang Wenyuan is very good at knife skills, but it is a pity that the price of being confiscated is his left hand, so he can only hand over the work of handling fish to Zuo Zhixing.
Baimei and Li Na went to collect firewood. They took a long time to go, and not only brought back a lot of dead branches and leaves, but also picked a lot of wild fruits and vegetables.Li Na said excitedly: "Sister Baimei is amazing. She took me to find all these wild fruits and vegetables. They are delicious. Come and try them too."
Jiang Wenyuan picked out a wild fruit and tasted it, it was really sweet and juicy.He couldn't help but look at Baimei a few more times, "Edible wild fruits and vegetables are not so easy to find, yes, a master of wild survival."
Baimei smiled, "It's just luck."
The four of them had enough to eat and drink, and it was already past seven o'clock in the morning, and it was indeed a troublesome thing to take care of themselves.
Jiang Wenyuan consciously came out to shoulder the burden, "Yesterday I fell into the water and delayed my trip, so I couldn't meet the body collector. Let's divide into two groups today. One group will go to see Sophia, and the other group will talk to the body collector. In the afternoon we will Meet at the watermill and windmill."
Baimei raised her hand and asked, "How to group?"
Jiang Wenyuan said, "Of course I'm on your team."
Baimei nodded seriously, "I will try my best not to hold back."
In contrast, the relationship between Zuo Zhixing and Li Na is not so harmonious.There was a little friction between the two before, but it didn't show after the four of them acted in unison. If they form a team together again, who knows what will go wrong.
With the current configuration of their team, out of balance considerations, Jiang Wenyuan and Zuo Zhixing must act separately.
Zuo Zhixing is more willing to team up with Baimei. Although Baimei has always performed mediocrely, she has never lost the chain at critical moments.Compared with the ghost Zuo Zhixing, Li Na also prefers to team up with the milder Jiang Wenyuan.
Li Na didn't dare to raise opinions, but Zuo Zhixing didn't have such scruples. He said to Jiang Wenyuan, "Why don't we draw lots to decide the grouping."
"Also..." Before Baimei could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Jiang Wenyuan.
"No." Jiang Wenyuan flatly refused. Although his purpose of entering the game is to use the special abilities of the doll, work is work. There is no reason to leave the employer halfway and form a team with others. "Baimei and I must act together. You can Discuss who to choose to see, Baimei and I will go to the other side."
There was no such thing as a discussion, so Zuo Zhixing made a decision directly, "Li Na and I are going to see Sophia."
Jiang Wenyuan saw Li Na next to him looking shocked, so he had to explain for Zuo Zhixing, "Baimei, you have to be mentally prepared. When we go to see the corpse collector, we may see many corpses."
Too many people died in Monaliga. Lyle, the only body collector in the village, had to go out early every day, digging from early morning to dusk, and barely dug enough pits to bury the corpses.
When Jiang Wenyuan and Baimei came to the burial site, Lyle had already dug a new shallow pit.
When Lyle collected the body, he was wrapped in black cloth, but digging a hole was a manual job. He was only wearing a sleeveless hanging shirt at this time, exposing a large area of skin on his arms and calves.There were several wounds on both of his arms, the wounds were split into a mouth shape, and the edges were covered with teeth on both sides.
Strange teeth will grow out of the wound first, this information was told by Lyle to Jiang Wenyuan.Lyle's horrible wounds were probably scratched on his arms by himself in order not to affect the work of digging the pit.
Jiang Wenyuan roughly counted that there are more than one hundred strange teeth on Lyle's arm. If there are strange teeth growing elsewhere on Lyle's body, then the number of strange teeth on Lyle's body may have reached a very dangerous warning line. .
The day before yesterday, Jiang Wenyuan and Zuo Zhixing discussed the relationship between the 206 strange teeth on the deceased's body and death, and they did not avoid Lyle.Lyle knew his situation well, but he still didn't give up his job as a corpse collector.He didn't mind his horrific wound being seen by Jiang Wenyuan and Baimei, and he devoted himself to digging the pit, turning a blind eye to them.
Jiang Wenyuan didn't go around in circles with Lyle, and went straight to the point, "Leo has already told us what happened 35 years ago. I'm sorry, but the strange tooth disease is most likely the curse of the noble lady on Monaga, isn't it? Problems that our doctors can solve."
Lyle couldn't be indifferent to Jiang Wenyuan's words, he plunged the shovel into the pit heavily, "So you are here to pronounce the death sentence on me now? Then I already know about it, you can leave."
"No, I'm here to seek a turnaround." Jiang Wenyuan raised the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the wound on his arm. After the platinum ring and the strange tooth sample Chen Mian gave him disappeared in the river, the wound's deterioration slowed down. Many, only two more strange teeth grew today. "When I met you the day before yesterday, you seemed to have a grudge against Leo. I want to know how much we can trust Leo's words."
With the evidence of the strange tooth wound, Jiang Wenyuan's words were a little more convincing, and Lyle no longer had that bad attitude.Lyle picked up the shovel again and buried his head in digging, "Our original intention was only to let everyone survive, but this original intention has brought terrible consequences. Monica conspired to commit an unforgivable crime against the noble lady .”
With his chest in his arms, Lyle didn't dare to take a second look at Jiang Wenyuan and Bai Mei, "I know that we have sinned deeply, but if our family didn't get the gems of the noble lady, I wouldn't be able to live today. Now the curse of the noble lady We deserve everything. I accept the fate of death. The only thing I can do is to let the people of Monaga die decently. Unfortunately, I can't help you. I only have one piece of advice for you. "
Jiang Wenyuan said softly, "What advice?"
Lyle finally put down the shovel and looked straight into Jiang Wenyuan's eyes. His tone was full of disgust for Leo, "People who have experienced the disaster 35 years ago have a deep understanding of their sins, only Leo, he refused Admitting his guilt, after he became an adult, he has been trying to hoard property, wanting to leave Monaga and get rid of his crimes. This time he returned to Monaga only because he found that even if he left Monaga, he could not get rid of the nobles. Miss's curse, he wants to find a way to lift the curse."
"Thank you for your advice." Jiang Wenyuan said, "I also have something to tell you. After I was infected with a strange disease, I often felt physically weak. How did you maintain the high-intensity labor under the curse?"
Lyle frowned, "I don't feel tired."
Jiang Wenyuan guided and said: "Actually, Leo's state is also very strange. According to the degree of crime, he should have died a long time ago. But he has lived until now, and the degree of infection is relatively light. The feeling you give me is, Like someone with a special meaning."
Lyle suddenly remembered that night 35 years ago, "Leo and I hid at the banquet on the night the noble lady was killed!"
This is undoubtedly an extremely important clue.
Lyle continued: "The child hiding at the banquet scene, there is another..."
Lyle hadn't finished speaking when he heard an explosion sound from a distance. They looked in the direction of the explosion, which was the direction of the village chief's house!
"Finger moved!" Jiang Wenyuan felt someone shaking his body, "Wake up, Chen Mian, wake up!!"
The man was still calling him persistently, making Jiang Wenyuan's brain ache from the noise. Maybe it was because he wanted to tell the man to shut up too strongly. it.
Jiang Wenyuan opened his eyes and saw Baimei's magnified face. She looked anxious, held his shoulders with both hands, and shook him vigorously with all her strength, "Wake up, you finally woke up!"
Jiang Wenyuan rubbed his temples to relieve the tingling pain in his head, and sat up with Baimei's support. He was sitting on the bunk, and his clothes had already been changed. The light gray blouse and trousers of the same color did not fit well. .He looked at the window sill, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room, "Where are Zuo Zhixing and Li Na?"
"After we rescued you, you have been in a coma. I stayed to take care of you, and they continued to find the cause of the outbreak." Baimei handed him a cup of strong tea to dispel the cold, "According to the time, they are about the same It's time to come back. You drink your tea, and I'll bring you some food."
After Baimei closed the door, Jiang Wenyuan heaved a sigh of relief, the calm mask on his face fell off, he squeezed the teacup hard, and put the weight on his bent knees, his body trembled slightly, the feeling of being submerged by the river still remained on his skin On, it was icy cold.
Jiang Wenyuan's fragility didn't last long. When Baimei came back with dinner, he returned to his expressionless face.
When Baimei went to get dinner, she happened to meet Zuo Zhixing and Li Na, and they simply took the dinner upstairs together to eat with Jiang Wenyuan.
The clothes on Zuo Zhixing were not the ones that Jiang Wenyuan saw in the morning. It seemed that Zuo Zhixing was the one who jumped into the water and rescued him ashore.
"Thank you for saving me." Jiang Wenyuan said to Zuo Zhixing while holding the bowl.
Zuo Zhixing sat on the outermost side of the bunk, "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. I risked going into the water to save you today, and you will have to pay it back in the future."
"Of course." Jiang Wenyuan replied seriously, "This round of the game only prepares a change of clothes for each player. Where did the clothes we are wearing now come from?"
Li Na said in a low voice: "Brother Zuo carried Brother Chen back to the hotel, and Sister Baimei checked Brother Chen's satchel. I had nothing to do by myself. I thought I could help you a little, so I borrowed two bags from the hotel owner." Clean clothes."
Speaking of this, Zuo Zhixing became a little angry, "It's also my fault for not being cautious enough. I didn't know it was the hotel owner's clothes until I put it on."
"Just wear it. Even if you rescued me, are you still afraid of wearing the clothes of a hotel owner who is suspected of being sick?" Jiang asked Yuan Xinda and said, "Just to verify whether the strange disease can be transmitted through contact."
Zuo Zhixing raised his eyebrows, he actually thought so in his heart, otherwise it would be impossible to act together with Li Na who caused a catastrophe.He was a little curious. Jiang Wenyuan's current performance was still in line with the high evaluation of the round table. He was ranked at the back of the round table because he accidentally entered the game. How did Jiang Wenyuan fall out of the top position?
The food provided by the hotel was still unpalatable and of a very high standard. Several people gulped down dates and finished their dinner at a faster speed.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, Baimei lit the candles in the house, and under the dim candlelight, they began to communicate and sort out today's harvest.
"After I fell into the water, I heard a woman crying. She gave me a feeling full of resentment, and it was probably a ghost related to dolls." Jiang Wenyuan turned to look at Zuo Zhixing beside him, "Go into the water and rescue her." When I was there, did you hear any sound?"
Zuo Zhixing shook his head, "I didn't hear the sound, but there is indeed something in the water."
"When I checked your satchel, the zipper of the satchel was sealed intact, but I found that there was something missing in it. You can check if there is anything else missing." Baimei put the dried items on the bunk for medical use Gloves, masks, cell phones, swiss army knives and more...
Jiang Wenyuan looked at these things and frowned, "You bring me the satchel."
Baimei hurriedly handed him the wet satchel hanging on the wall, and Jiang Wenyuan searched through every compartment of the satchel, "My ring is missing."
"Isn't it like this?" Zuo Zhixing took away the packaging bag containing the mask, revealing two soft rings woven with string.
Jiang Wenyuan pursed his lips into a line, and shook his head, "I still have a platinum ring, which I put in my bag."
The same goes for the four dead people next door. The rings that looked inferior were not taken away, but the silver rings of the female players.
Bai Mei said quietly: "So, the unknown person who killed the player, and the monster in the river, all they want is money?"
"Sister Baimei, don't scare me." Li Na trembled, her eyes turned red from fright, "Could it be that the missing tooth samples in Brother Chen's bag belong to Cai..."
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and everyone's eyes focused on Li Na.Seeing that no one answered her question, Li Na became even more frightened, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, your analysis makes sense." Zuo Zhixing rubbed his chin, turned his head to look at Jiang Wenyuan, who had a bad face when he found the ring missing, "Four people next door were killed, and Chen Mian got sick, probably because of greed. You shouldn't be greedy for money."
After receiving Jiang Wenyuan's sting, Zuo Zhixing took out a roll of parchment as if nothing had happened, "Li Na and I went to the church in the afternoon. There is a small library next to the church's confessional, where we found Monaga's simple compilation. History."
Zuo Zhixing moved Jiang Wenyuan's things aside, and spread the parchment on the bunk.After they came to this game world, there was no barrier to language communication with NPCs, and the text was the same, all translated into Chinese characters they were familiar with. "The records in the chronicles are relatively simple, and the major events that happened every year can be summarized in three or five sentences. Li Na and I have read the chronicles of the past 50 years, and the one that caught our attention the most is the chronicle of 1396."
The latest record of the year is 1430. A few words are written from the beginning to the end of the year. The weather is good, the harvest is fruitful, the number of newborns is gratifying, etc. It should be the record of last year.From this calculation, 1396, that is, 35 years ago.
Baimei guarded Jiang Wenyuan who was unconscious in the afternoon, and did not participate in the search. The two got together and read the annals of 1396.
The Chronicle of 1396 is longer than any other year.
In summary, the content is as follows:
Monaga was plagued by natural disasters back then, the fields were devoid of harvests, and epidemics raged. Villagers died one after another, and the number of people in Monaga shrank by nearly half.There is no unparalleled road, and the first snow in winter brought a passing noble lady to Monaga. That kind-hearted noble lady gave Monaga a batch of life-saving special medicine for free.With the help of specific medicines, the threat of the disease has been alleviated, and the situation in Monaga is getting better day by day.
The epidemic broke out in 1396, and now the player enters the game in 1431, it is another deadly epidemic.
Is there any connection between these two epidemics?
Zuo Zhixing clicked on the words "epidemic" on the parchment, "We want to know the situation of the epidemic back then, but there is only a brief history in the church, so we tried to go to the village chief's house. The village chief's handbook passed down from generation to generation , has a detailed introduction to this epidemic. In 1396, there were heavy rains and floods. The epidemic in Monica was caused by dysentery caused by unclean drinking water, which is not the same thing as the strange dental disease we are facing now.”
Jiang Wenyuan asked Zuo Zhixing: "About the noble lady who gave the medicine, what did you find out?"
"I have something to say." Li Na raised her hands high, "Sofia forbade us to enter the house, so Brother Zuo was responsible for diverting Sophia away, and I went into the house to find information. Before the operation started, Brother Zuo also specially told us I want to find the information of this noble lady. I carefully read the records of 1396 from beginning to end, and there is only one sentence about the noble lady's record, which is exactly the same as that in the brief history, 'The person who did not want to be named Miss, kindly gave us a batch of special medicines for free, and taught us how to purify water, how to prevent diseases in daily life, and help Monica to overcome the difficulties of the disease.'I swear to God, I never missed it. look."
Jiang Wenyuan glanced silently at Zuo Zhixing. Zuo Zhixing used to push the glasses on the bridge of his nose, but found that he fell asleep and went into the game without glasses. The records of Miss Noble have been torn out."
Jiang Wenyuan felt that what Zuo Zhixing said now must have been embellished. With his poisonous tongue and misogynistic character, he would be a critical blow as soon as he opened his mouth. Otherwise, Li Na would not have risked offending Zuo Zhixing to prove that she did not wrong.
"Look here." Jiang Wenyuan pointed to the parchment, "In the early spring of 1397, Monaga built a water mill and windmill facing the river in the north of the village. The natural disaster has passed, and with the help of the water mill and windmill, Monaga Farming has grown."
Baimei took the parchment and carefully read the brief history in 1397, "Monaica suffered from natural disasters, the grain depot was in a hurry, and there was a shortage of manpower. How did they build the water mill and windmill in the second year after the natural disaster? .Where did they get the money? Could it be..."
Jiang Wenyuan said calmly: "Although we haven't found any information about the noble lady, but according to the scenario, imagine that the flood was raging at that time, many places were affected by disasters, and epidemics were rampant. What kind of noble lady would appear at this time? Monaga can also generously donate a batch of specific medicines against dysentery to Monaga.”
Li Na continued to think about the situation given by Jiang Wenyuan, and finally understood why Jiang Wenyuan and Zuo Zhixing valued the noble lady, "Did that noble lady come here for disaster relief?"
"The misfortune that happens to players is usually the reflection of ghosts. What is happening to us now? Killing people and robbing money!" Jiang Wenyuan looked at the two soft rings pushed to the corner, "If Monajia The money to build the water mill and windmill came from this noble lady, so Namo Narika has reason to wipe out the information about her."
Li Na entered the game for the first time, and she couldn't accept Jiang Wenyuan's conjecture, "Could it be that you made a mistake? That noble lady helped Moraga survive dysentery. Why did they want to repay their kindness?"
Bai Mei patted Li Na's shoulder and shook her head, "There are some things that don't need to be delved into. We should pay more attention to how to live."
Zuo Zhixing took the parchment from Jiang Wenyuan's hand, "Then our main task tomorrow is to find evidence that the villagers of Monaga have conspired to kill the noble lady. Once verified, the strange tooth disease that broke out in Monaga is very serious. It may be the revenge of the noble lady against Monaga."
"Too slow." Jiang Wenyuan said coldly.
Zuo Zhixing was stunned, "What?"
Jiang Wenyuan's eyes still stayed on the two soft rings. As soon as he thought of the platinum ring that Chen Mian left him being taken away, he would feel an evil fire in his heart. He turned his head and looked at the other three people. Sweeping, "I mean it's too late to wait until tomorrow to find evidence. I have a way to confirm my guess as soon as possible. Li Na, Zuo Zhixing, you stay here tonight and don't leave."
Baimei leaned over, "What can I do?"
Jiang Wenyuan told them the solution he thought of.
In this regard, Li Na, who has little knowledge, sincerely praised: "Brother Chen is really amazing, he can come up with such an amazing method!"
Left: Game tycoon Zhixing who has experienced ups and downs: "..."
Baimei covered her face deeply, "What kind of coquettish operation is this??!!"
Jiang Wenyuan said indifferently: "Just say what you want to do."
The other three looked at each other, "Of course it is!"
That night, late at night, with no wind, the last quarter moon.
Four figures came down from the second floor of the hotel. They moved lightly, turned out of the hotel through the back door of the kitchen on the first floor, and walked towards the hotel owner's house.These four people are Jiang Wenyuan and the others.
The four of them dispersed to different locations according to the agreed plan, and surrounded the hotel owner's home.
Jiang Wenyuan stood at the door of the hotel owner's house, knocking heavily and slowly on the door again and again.
The quality of sleep of the hotel owner was very poor. He was awakened by knocking on the door at once. He lay on the bed, motionless, trying to pretend to be asleep, and did not dare to open the door.
However, the four people outside the house did not intend to let him go. After Jiang Wenyuan stopped knocking on the door, Zuo Zhixing, who was squatting in the kitchen, immediately took action. He smashed a stone through the kitchen window, and the stone fell into the kitchen. It rolled on the ground a few times before stopping.
The hotel owner's nerves became even weaker. How could the things outside suddenly teleport from the door to the kitchen, and the kitchen was smashed into stones one after another, and these stones hit his heart like a heavy hammer.
Zuo Zhixing walked up to Li Na after smashing the rocks, and helped her stabilize the ladder.Li Na climbed up the ladder and pointed the pre-recorded mobile phone recording at the chimney, "I gave you special medicine and taught you how to prevent dysentery. Why did you kill me? Why did you kill me? Why did you kill me?" Me! Why! Kill me!!"
The carefully edited cries are so permeating that they travel down the living room fireplace to the hotel owner, who is about to collapse as he covers his head with the quilt.
Li Na waved to Bai Mei who was waiting by the window of the bedroom, and turned off the phone's recording.
Snapped!Baimei, wrapped in a white cloth, flashed out of the bedroom window, spread her hands and fingers, and slapped on the glass window. Her nails slid down the window slats, making a piercing scratching sound, "Why did you kill me?"
The hotel owner was finally frightened by a series of seamless movements. He curled up at the foot of the bed, looked at the white shadow outside the window, and cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Monaga is sorry for you! But I was only a five-year-old I don't know anything, boy, I didn't eat your meat, and I didn't use..."
Baimei opened the window, and the four of them had already gathered, all eyes were on the hotel owner.Jiang Wenyuan looked at him coldly, "Should you confess to us what happened in Monagara 35 years ago, and what happened to eating meat?"
The hotel owner's face was covered with tears and snot, and his facial features were distorted. He was caught in the act and had no chance to refute.Perhaps because the sinful secrets in his heart were exposed, the hotel owner gradually calmed down, "Come in. I will tell you everything."
Jiang Wenyuan dared to pretend to be a ghost to scare NPCs in a world where there are real ghosts, and he succeeded.
The mood of the remaining three people is very complicated.
"Then go and open it for us—" Li Na didn't even have time to say a word, and Jiang Wenyuan leaned on the window sill with one hand, turned over and entered the hotel owner's bedroom, and didn't even want to wait for a detour to walk through the door. .Zuo Zhixing was the second to enter the room, and with the help of him and Jiang Wenyuan, Baimei and Li Na also successfully climbed into the hotel owner's bedroom through the window.
When the four of them entered the room, the hotel owner wiped his face clean and simply arranged his appearance.
The hotel owner lit the candlestick in the bedroom, and five people sat around the table, waiting for the hotel owner's confession.
The innkeeper's name was Leo. In 1396, he was not yet five years old.
When the kind noble lady came to Monalica, Leo had been sick for six days. At that time, he had diarrhea every day, and he was so thin that he was out of shape.The fields were completely destroyed by the flood that year, and there was not much food left at home. Leo could only eat a few mouthfuls of cold wheat porridge every day. Maybe he would starve to death before dying of illness.
Miss Noble's special medicine cured many people, and Leo was one of them.To Leo, the noble lady is like an angel.After the epidemic was brought under control, the noble lady proposed to leave Monaga, and she would continue to visit the next disaster-stricken place.When the noble lady was persuaded by enthusiastic adults to stay for one more night, little Leo was secretly happy for a long time.Leo didn't even dare to think that such a cruel thing would happen later...
The old village chief gathered the strength of the whole village and set up a banquet for the noble lady and her guards.Based on the situation in Monica at that time, the banquet prepared was very simple, but the noble lady did not dislike it and took the guards to the banquet together.
The noble lady never expected that the village chief would drug her and the guards in the wine.The captain of the guard had been exposed to drugs, but when he discovered something was wrong, it was too late.The captain of the guard was extremely powerful in combat. He killed several villagers, but he alone could not defeat the villagers who had turned into devils in their hearts.
Children were strictly forbidden to attend the banquet, but Leo wanted to see the noble lady very much, and the prestige of his parents disappeared when they were unwilling to feed him. Leo violated the adults' prohibition and came to the banquet scene secretly. In the corner, I thought about finding an opportunity to be alone with the noble lady and talk.He witnessed with his own eyes that the adults in the village chopped off the heads of the guards like melons, leaving only the noble lady alone.
The villagers spared the noble lady's life, not because the noble lady saved them, what they want is the noble lady's key.In the car of the noble lady, there is a treasure box full of gems and gold coins. The key to the treasure box is divided into two halves, one half is carried by the noble lady, and the other half is hidden.
The noble lady was tied up with a rope and woke up by a basin of ice water. She watched the nightmare scene and the devil-like villagers, and said something that Leo would never forget in her life.She said: I swear to hell, I will give back to Monica a hundred times and a thousand times what I have suffered today!
After saying this, the noble lady stopped speaking. No matter how the villagers tortured her, there was no way for her to utter another word.The blood-soaked lady of the nobleman actually made her tormentors fearless for no reason.
In the end, the body of the noble lady could not sustain the torture of the villagers, and she died silently with her eyes open.The villagers were afraid of the curse of the noble lady, and they did extremely cruel things to the noble lady.They knocked out the noble lady's teeth, pulled out her tongue, so that she could not use words to bargain with the devil of hell; they broke every finger of the noble lady, so that she could not write her grievances by hand.
Not all the people in Monaga are devoid of conscience. In order to tie the whole village to the boat, the villagers who murdered the noble lady violently destroyed the treasure chest of the noble lady, removed some of the damaged gems, and distributed most of the treasure to the whole village.Dividing the stolen goods was not enough, they frantically peeled off the noble lady's meat and boiled it into broth for the whole village to share.
In this way, the whole village of Monalijia is an accomplice.
Leo escaped the noble lady's broth, and tried his best to avoid the treasure distributed to their households, but he couldn't escape the water mill and windmill built with the noble lady's money.Water mills and windmills drive farming, and the food produced enters the mouths of every villager in Monaga.
Spitting out the secrets that had been buried in his heart for many years, Leo looked tired, as if he had aged several years in an instant, "I often have a feeling that Monica is like a huge monster, rooted in the noble lady, killing her probably because of this sense of guilt, I couldn’t bring girls from outside to Monaga, and I couldn’t fall in love with girls from Monaga, and I haven’t been able to get married until now.”
Leo clasped his hands with ten fingers, put his head down on his hands, and made a prayer posture, "Since I became independent, I have been working hard to accumulate property and get back the gems sold by the villagers. I couldn't do it for the noble lady back then. Anything, now that I have the ability, at least I want to return her lost treasure. I didn't expect that before I could atone for my sins, Monaliga would have an unexplainable strange disease. The added curse..."
When the four of them left Leo's house, Jiang Wenyuan asked him a question, "Leo, you have been calling her Miss Noble, what is her name?"
Leo was silent for a long time before he said: "Monaga has committed such a serious crime, I am not qualified to say her name. You can ask Sophia, she enshrines the spirit card of the noble lady."
The four returned to their room on the second floor of the hotel.
Li Na started to wipe tears silently when Leo was halfway through speaking, and now she finally stopped crying, her voice was very hoarse, "Miss Noble is so pitiful, and so is Leo."
Baimei didn't cry, but she was also a little depressed, "Oh, they are all poor people."
Jiang Wenyuan and Zuo Zhixing looked at each other silently. Women are really synonymous with sensuality, and they are very deceiving.
Jiang Wenyuan had to remind them, "Just listen to what Leo says, don't believe everything."
"When we pretended to be a ghost to scare Leo, he was terribly frightened. If he didn't have a ghost in his heart, could he be frightened like that?" Zuo Zhixing also poured cold water on him, "And listening to his story, the whole story has been very frightening. Cleverly excused himself, if he really felt guilty for the noble lady, it would definitely not be this way of narrative."
Jiang Wenyuan nodded in agreement, "The flaw Zuo Zhixing said is relatively difficult to find, you two can think about it carefully, Leo has revealed a big flaw."
As soon as Jiang Wenyuan finished speaking, Baimei immediately responded, "I understand!"
Jiang Wenyuan gestured to seal his lips, "Give Li Na some time and let her think for herself."
Li Na thought hard, but she didn't understand it for a long time. She looked at everyone blankly, "I really don't know."
Baimei pointed to the wall and reminded Li Na, "Think again."
Li Na stared at the wall Baimei was pointing at. There was nothing on the wall except dust.Suddenly, she shuddered, there was nothing on the wall, but there was on the other side!Four players died across the wall yesterday!
Li Na said very quickly: "We have analyzed the cause of death of the four players next door. They were greedy for money that they shouldn't be greedy, so they were killed. Brother Chen just took away a few teeth and contracted a strange disease. Lei Ou said he accumulated property and retrieved stray gems. How did he survive to this day without incident?"
Jiang Wenyuan yawned, "How do I know how Leo survived to this day, go to bed quickly, there is still a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Zuo Zhixing quickly occupied the bed in the corner of the bunk, "Chen Mian, you sleep next to me."
Jiang Wenyuan complained silently in his heart that there were so many problems, so he lay down beside him.
Baimei took the thin quilt she put on last night, lay down next to Jiang Wenyuan, and thoughtfully gave up the bed in the other corner to Li Na.
Li Na looked at the three hot chicken teammates who quickly fell asleep: "..."
These people teased her so passionately that she wanted to lick Leo deeply, leaving no underwear left, but in the end they all fell asleep. Her game level is limited, so how could she be able to lick Leo by herself.Li Na climbed onto the bunk resentfully. She thought she might suffer from insomnia, but sleepiness is contagious, and she didn't know how she fell asleep.
The second day, 05:30 in the morning.
Zuo Zhixing's cell phone alarm clock rang very Spartan, waking up the few people who had only slept for less than four hours.
Jiang Wenyuan sat up while supporting his bluntly aching head, and shouted to the energetic Zuo Zhixing, "Are you a devil?"
Zuo Zhixing has already changed Leo's clothes, and put on the pajamas he wore when he entered the game again, "Leo's words remind us that the food, drinking water, and even Leo's clothes provided by the hotel, in a certain sense Generally speaking, it may be a derivative of the property of the noble lady. From today until the day we clear the game, we must rely on ourselves to forage in the wild. The early bird catches the worm."
Every word Zuo Zhixing said was convincing, and Jiang Wenyuan couldn't find a reason to refute it. Baimei and Li Na could only give up struggling and got up under Zuo Zhixing's urging.
The four of them wore the clothes they had entered the game and walked along the river to the upper reaches of Moraga, making sure that they had nothing to do with the noble lady's sphere of influence before they started looking for food.
Jiang Wenyuan's survival skills in the wild are good, and there is no need to guess the source of the skills, of course it is Chen Mian.He held Zuo Zhixing's harpoon cut from a tree branch with one hand, and he speared three big fat fish in a row in the shallow water.Jiang Wenyuan is very good at knife skills, but it is a pity that the price of being confiscated is his left hand, so he can only hand over the work of handling fish to Zuo Zhixing.
Baimei and Li Na went to collect firewood. They took a long time to go, and not only brought back a lot of dead branches and leaves, but also picked a lot of wild fruits and vegetables.Li Na said excitedly: "Sister Baimei is amazing. She took me to find all these wild fruits and vegetables. They are delicious. Come and try them too."
Jiang Wenyuan picked out a wild fruit and tasted it, it was really sweet and juicy.He couldn't help but look at Baimei a few more times, "Edible wild fruits and vegetables are not so easy to find, yes, a master of wild survival."
Baimei smiled, "It's just luck."
The four of them had enough to eat and drink, and it was already past seven o'clock in the morning, and it was indeed a troublesome thing to take care of themselves.
Jiang Wenyuan consciously came out to shoulder the burden, "Yesterday I fell into the water and delayed my trip, so I couldn't meet the body collector. Let's divide into two groups today. One group will go to see Sophia, and the other group will talk to the body collector. In the afternoon we will Meet at the watermill and windmill."
Baimei raised her hand and asked, "How to group?"
Jiang Wenyuan said, "Of course I'm on your team."
Baimei nodded seriously, "I will try my best not to hold back."
In contrast, the relationship between Zuo Zhixing and Li Na is not so harmonious.There was a little friction between the two before, but it didn't show after the four of them acted in unison. If they form a team together again, who knows what will go wrong.
With the current configuration of their team, out of balance considerations, Jiang Wenyuan and Zuo Zhixing must act separately.
Zuo Zhixing is more willing to team up with Baimei. Although Baimei has always performed mediocrely, she has never lost the chain at critical moments.Compared with the ghost Zuo Zhixing, Li Na also prefers to team up with the milder Jiang Wenyuan.
Li Na didn't dare to raise opinions, but Zuo Zhixing didn't have such scruples. He said to Jiang Wenyuan, "Why don't we draw lots to decide the grouping."
"Also..." Before Baimei could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Jiang Wenyuan.
"No." Jiang Wenyuan flatly refused. Although his purpose of entering the game is to use the special abilities of the doll, work is work. There is no reason to leave the employer halfway and form a team with others. "Baimei and I must act together. You can Discuss who to choose to see, Baimei and I will go to the other side."
There was no such thing as a discussion, so Zuo Zhixing made a decision directly, "Li Na and I are going to see Sophia."
Jiang Wenyuan saw Li Na next to him looking shocked, so he had to explain for Zuo Zhixing, "Baimei, you have to be mentally prepared. When we go to see the corpse collector, we may see many corpses."
Too many people died in Monaliga. Lyle, the only body collector in the village, had to go out early every day, digging from early morning to dusk, and barely dug enough pits to bury the corpses.
When Jiang Wenyuan and Baimei came to the burial site, Lyle had already dug a new shallow pit.
When Lyle collected the body, he was wrapped in black cloth, but digging a hole was a manual job. He was only wearing a sleeveless hanging shirt at this time, exposing a large area of skin on his arms and calves.There were several wounds on both of his arms, the wounds were split into a mouth shape, and the edges were covered with teeth on both sides.
Strange teeth will grow out of the wound first, this information was told by Lyle to Jiang Wenyuan.Lyle's horrible wounds were probably scratched on his arms by himself in order not to affect the work of digging the pit.
Jiang Wenyuan roughly counted that there are more than one hundred strange teeth on Lyle's arm. If there are strange teeth growing elsewhere on Lyle's body, then the number of strange teeth on Lyle's body may have reached a very dangerous warning line. .
The day before yesterday, Jiang Wenyuan and Zuo Zhixing discussed the relationship between the 206 strange teeth on the deceased's body and death, and they did not avoid Lyle.Lyle knew his situation well, but he still didn't give up his job as a corpse collector.He didn't mind his horrific wound being seen by Jiang Wenyuan and Baimei, and he devoted himself to digging the pit, turning a blind eye to them.
Jiang Wenyuan didn't go around in circles with Lyle, and went straight to the point, "Leo has already told us what happened 35 years ago. I'm sorry, but the strange tooth disease is most likely the curse of the noble lady on Monaga, isn't it? Problems that our doctors can solve."
Lyle couldn't be indifferent to Jiang Wenyuan's words, he plunged the shovel into the pit heavily, "So you are here to pronounce the death sentence on me now? Then I already know about it, you can leave."
"No, I'm here to seek a turnaround." Jiang Wenyuan raised the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the wound on his arm. After the platinum ring and the strange tooth sample Chen Mian gave him disappeared in the river, the wound's deterioration slowed down. Many, only two more strange teeth grew today. "When I met you the day before yesterday, you seemed to have a grudge against Leo. I want to know how much we can trust Leo's words."
With the evidence of the strange tooth wound, Jiang Wenyuan's words were a little more convincing, and Lyle no longer had that bad attitude.Lyle picked up the shovel again and buried his head in digging, "Our original intention was only to let everyone survive, but this original intention has brought terrible consequences. Monica conspired to commit an unforgivable crime against the noble lady .”
With his chest in his arms, Lyle didn't dare to take a second look at Jiang Wenyuan and Bai Mei, "I know that we have sinned deeply, but if our family didn't get the gems of the noble lady, I wouldn't be able to live today. Now the curse of the noble lady We deserve everything. I accept the fate of death. The only thing I can do is to let the people of Monaga die decently. Unfortunately, I can't help you. I only have one piece of advice for you. "
Jiang Wenyuan said softly, "What advice?"
Lyle finally put down the shovel and looked straight into Jiang Wenyuan's eyes. His tone was full of disgust for Leo, "People who have experienced the disaster 35 years ago have a deep understanding of their sins, only Leo, he refused Admitting his guilt, after he became an adult, he has been trying to hoard property, wanting to leave Monaga and get rid of his crimes. This time he returned to Monaga only because he found that even if he left Monaga, he could not get rid of the nobles. Miss's curse, he wants to find a way to lift the curse."
"Thank you for your advice." Jiang Wenyuan said, "I also have something to tell you. After I was infected with a strange disease, I often felt physically weak. How did you maintain the high-intensity labor under the curse?"
Lyle frowned, "I don't feel tired."
Jiang Wenyuan guided and said: "Actually, Leo's state is also very strange. According to the degree of crime, he should have died a long time ago. But he has lived until now, and the degree of infection is relatively light. The feeling you give me is, Like someone with a special meaning."
Lyle suddenly remembered that night 35 years ago, "Leo and I hid at the banquet on the night the noble lady was killed!"
This is undoubtedly an extremely important clue.
Lyle continued: "The child hiding at the banquet scene, there is another..."
Lyle hadn't finished speaking when he heard an explosion sound from a distance. They looked in the direction of the explosion, which was the direction of the village chief's house!
