Gold sale
Chapter 79
Seemingly seeing the gloomy expression of the person in front of her, the ghost mother continued to laugh and said, "Although I don't know how you humans met that silly snake. But thanks to her successfully stealing the statue, my plan can go smoothly."
Hearing the mocking laughter next to his ear, Su Ji pursed his lips.
Sure enough, it is a C-level world, and the IQ of the plot NPCs are much higher than those of the previous worlds.
Previously, because of the high force value of the ghost mother, he almost mistakenly thought that she was simply a hang of violence output, but now it seems that he underestimated her.
After a while, the ghost mother seemed to have laughed enough and stopped.
She asked Su Ji: "But how do you know that Chen Laoliu is mine?"
"The answer is actually very simple."
Su Ji said lightly, "Because you know too much."
"You have been suppressed by Chen Xuan for 80 years and lost your freedom. Even if you know a lot of secrets, you shouldn't know so many details. Not only do you know that Chen Xuan's power is not as good as before, you even know that Chen Lao Liu wants to get rid of Chen Xuan It's obviously not normal."
Su Ji had been secretly monitoring Chen Laoliu for the past two days, but he didn't show anything wrong, which shows that he usually acts cautiously.
And according to what the ghost mother said, the old man hated Chen Xuan deeply in his heart, but on the surface he was still obedient and loyal to him, and he could even glimpse into his city.
Such a person who acts ruthlessly, who can endure under Chen Xuan's nose for many years without being found out that he has different intentions, not only becomes the village head, but also makes a lot of money, will it be so easy for people to discover the secrets that he can't tell?
But the ghost mother knew that Chen Laoliu had a different intention.
There are only a few possibilities -
First, Chen Laoliu himself took the initiative to tell the ghost mother.
Second, the ghost mother sees it by herself.
The possibility of the former is very low. Unless it is profitable, it is impossible for a profit-seeking person like Chen Laoliu to make such a move.
As for the latter, only Chen Laoliu accidentally revealed something in front of the ghost mother that made her suspicious.But according to Chen Laoliu's cautious personality, it should be impossible.
Then only the last possibility makes sense.
The ghost mother bewitched Chen Laoliu.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, if you were a normal person, you would definitely hate it if your body was taken away by an unknown evil spirit.But due to the powerful strength of the opponent, they only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.Nor would he have the guts to get rid of the object of this sparrow occupying the dove's nest.
But Chen Laoliu is different.He is a man with a city, a brain and a ruthless workman.He must have the guts.
Even Su Ji can see this, let alone the old man who has lived for nearly 100 years with Ghost Mother.
The enemy of the enemy is the friend.
Moreover, Chen Laoliu loves money, and those who want something are better controlled than those who don't want anything.
If he was the ghost mother, he would definitely try to pull this person into his camp.
"There is one more thing."
Su Ji paused and said: "The night we came to Chenjia Village, you killed a villager. When the body was found the next day, Chen Laoliu used the excuse of Xiong Xiazi to hurt others and ended the matter hastily."
"At first, I didn't quite understand why Chen Laoliu, the village chief, buried people like this without even reporting to the police. I thought he was trying to hide the kidnapping of women in the village and use them to create a nasty matter of selling baby corpses. Now it seems that he did this to cover you."
After listening to Su Ji's analysis, the ghost mother laughed out loud.The ghostly aura intensified in the darkness.
At some point, Su Ji discovered that the ground under his feet had turned into a dark water surface with a few sparkling waves.
The next moment, a woman in a dusty, coarse cloth floated up from the bottom of the water.
The woman had an upright and graceful face, and was tall and tall. Even though she didn't look well, she could still be seen as a beauty.
But unlike her beautiful appearance, Chen Xiuhe still had a trace of inhuman coldness in her eyes.
"You are much smarter than I thought."
"Thank you." Su Ji accepted the other party's compliment unceremoniously, and continued: "But I still don't understand one thing."
"You just said that the children in those women's stomachs are the sojourners of your eggs. When the time is right, these eggs will automatically hatch into ghosts, and the gold-plated baby corpse is just something made by ghost eggs sucking the leftover residue. That's all, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Xiuhe frowned, as if she didn't quite understand the meaning of Su Ji repeating these words.
Su Ji continued: "I've seen the 'residue' sucked by ghost eggs, but what about the devils hatched from ghost eggs?"
Chen Xiuhe was suddenly stunned by the question of the person in front of him.At that moment Su Ji saw a trance on her face, followed by doubt and confusion.But she quickly came back to her senses and said coldly, "I don't know that. It might have been killed by Chen Xuan."
The expression on Ghost Mother's face naturally failed to escape Su Ji's eyes.
Ever since he entered the historical retrospective, he always felt that something seemed wrong, but he couldn't tell.
Until just now, he didn't understand where this kind of thing always made him feel inconsistent.
That is the ghost mother.
She didn't act like a bereaved mother at all.
Or, she doesn't look like a mother at all... well, she's not a human anymore.
Sister Xu, who is also a mother, no matter how indifferent her usual personality looks, she will sympathetically extend a helping hand when she meets poor children and women.
But Chen Xiuhe acted too coldly.
She can say things like "the gold-plated baby corpse is just the residue left by ghost eggs sucking" without changing her face, which shows that she doesn't treat those pregnant women and unborn babies as human beings at all.
And her strange reaction to the devil's whereabouts just now...
These abnormal performances really had to make him feel concerned.
Of course, it is also possible that the long time since the incident made her forget the pain of losing her son.But judging from her actions of taking revenge on Chen Xuan for so many years, Su Ji thinks that she should not forget this matter.
Why on earth is she doing this?
My mom is going to eat me...
The second after this question came up, Su Ji suddenly remembered what Xiao Shi said before.
In just a split second, all the clues stored in his mind were connected into a line.
Maybe... the ghost mother herself is the villain?
As a human being, Chen Xiuhe would not be so lacking in empathy, but what about Chen Xiuhe who has become a ghost mother?
She had been a human for no more than 20 years, but she had been controlled by Chen Xuan for 80 years as a monster.
After being a monster for so many years and being tortured for so many years, can she still have positive human emotions now?
Is she still human?
Influenced by the previous worlds, he has subconsciously regarded these NPCs who can go back to history as friends who provide plot clues to their players.It feels like these NPCs won't do them any harm.
In addition, Chen Xiuhe has been talking about the sufferings he suffered in the past from the beginning of the plot backtracking, causing ordinary players to have preconceived sympathy for him.Even if it was him, he couldn't help feeling pity for him at the beginning.
Bewildered by these appearances, it is even more impossible for ordinary people to see the ghost mother as a villain boss.
But now that I think about it, Mother Ghost has never been at peace since the first day they came to this village.
They didn't say they hurt Nie Yan, but even killed innocent villagers by mistake in order to eat Xiao Shi.Coupled with her unusually cold performance just now.All these signs showed that the ghost mother was not a good stubble at all.
Because of inertial thinking, he ignored these obvious details.
If it wasn't for the sixth sense that made him detect the other party's unreasonable behavior in time, otherwise he would have been fooled.
Thinking about it, Su Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
But luckily it's not too late.
Chen Xiuhe's mother couldn't help feeling strange seeing the motionless appearance of the person in front of her.She frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied, "This is what you want to ask?"
Hearing the questioning from the other side, Su Ji raised his head and smiled, "Of course not."
As he said that, he glanced at the still dark surroundings again, "Compared to this, I want to know why you didn't kill Chen Xuan immediately. Don't you hate him so much?"
According to the normal process, after completing the historical review, the players will leave the NPC's memory world and return to the real world in the game.
But since just now, he has been trapped in this dark and unfathomable space.
This is abnormal.
But now, when he came to the conclusion that the ghost mother is not a kind person, there is a reasonable explanation for this abnormal situation.
The ghost mother may want to get something from him.
For example...Xiao Shi.
Although he wasn't sure if Mother Ghost really knew about Xiao Ten's whereabouts, he could only make such a guess right now.
Thinking about it, he tentatively said: "You've already finished what you need to say about the past, now it's time for us to step back from memory and face reality."
Hearing Su Ji's words, Chen Xiuhe glanced at him inexplicably, "You don't need to worry about this. I want to kill Chen Xuan, but not now."
Looking into her eyes, Su Ji moved his right hand in his pocket, trying to summon the Holy Cross Sword.
But at this moment, he was surprised to find that the backpack couldn't be opened!
what happened?
Although she was terrified in her heart, Su Ji had no choice but to pretend nothing happened and continue to deal with her.
"Then when are you going to do it?"
As he asked, he tried to open the backpack again.Still can't open it.
"You want to take out that sword again to deal with me?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Ji stopped the movements of his hands.As if the pause button was pressed, the air suddenly froze, and it was so quiet that it made people tremble.
Seeing Chen Xiuhe staring at him steadfastly, she suddenly smiled, "It's useless."
"This is my consciousness, my territory. No matter how powerful you are, you outsiders will not be able to escape."
Hearing this, Su Ji narrowed his eyes and looked up at her, "Do you know who we are?"
"do not know."
Chen Xiuhe said: "But you are not the only group of people with unique skills that I have met. Once upon a time, countless people like you also came here."
She actually has memories about other players!
Wouldn't the memory of the NPC in the original copy be refreshed automatically?
Before Su Ji could be surprised, Chen Xiuhe's face on the opposite side began to change.
The woman's handsome face began to be soaked in large swaths of dark color, and the originally tall and thin body gradually began to swell, becoming extremely tall.
Vertical pupils, wings, sharp claws, these inhuman symbols appeared on her body in an instant.In the faint water light, the ghost mother in front of her eyes added a bit of spooky atmosphere.
She narrowed her pupils and revealed a pervasive smile, "Don't you wonder what happened to those people afterward?"
Hearing the mocking laughter next to his ear, Su Ji pursed his lips.
Sure enough, it is a C-level world, and the IQ of the plot NPCs are much higher than those of the previous worlds.
Previously, because of the high force value of the ghost mother, he almost mistakenly thought that she was simply a hang of violence output, but now it seems that he underestimated her.
