femme fatale [unlimited]

After hearing Jiang Wan's words, everyone's expressions became serious in an instant.

"Have you met Suzuki?"

Love couldn't hide her anxiety, she held Jiang Wan's hand worriedly, and asked repeatedly, "What did she do to you? Why didn't you tell me just now?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Wan looked at her, his eyes softened slightly, "Nothing special, it was just a fight, and there was no winner."

Fluffy said in surprise, "That's it? Impossible?"

Jiang Wan said, "It's true."

After she got separated from the others last night, she kept running around the village, trying to find Love.The ghosts killed batch after batch, but still no sign of Love.

Just when she was extremely irritable, a crisp bell sounded suddenly in the lingering white mist, and a touch of bright pink broke into the field of vision.

Jiang Wan's eyes sank, and the aura of the long sword soared, and he attacked with the sword.

The other party didn't talk nonsense, and the two fought.

After dozens of rounds of you coming and going, another bell rang, and Ling Fei's figure flew by quickly, and disappeared into the white mist in an instant.

After Ning Mianmian listened, she asked doubtfully, "Is it finished?"

Jiang Wan nodded, "That's it."

Love asked anxiously: "Since there was a fight, didn't you get hurt? Not at all?"

Her eyes fell on Jiang Wan's torn sleeves, her expression was a bit complicated, "Jiang Wan, if you have something to do, don't hide it from us."

Jiang Wan said softly, "It's just a minor injury."

She lifted up her sleeves, revealing a few faint wounds on her left forearm, "Look, it's healed."

After hearing this, Love not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but felt even heavier.

She knew very well in her heart that a person like Ling Fei would never get up early without profit, and would never find someone to fight on a whim.Since the other party came to Jiang Wan on purpose, it must be to achieve a certain purpose.But what it is, she still can't figure it out.

This made her very uneasy.She understood that other teammates might also be worried, but no one pointed it out and deliberately suppressed it.In the copy, it is very important to maintain emotional stability.If you worry too much, you will lose your calm judgment, so she suppressed these feelings for the time being, and didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door, and the courtyard door was pushed open.

A group of people stood at the door, all with anxious expressions. After seeing the six intact people in the yard, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Someone turned around and shouted loudly, "Village chief, he has been found!"

After a while, the villager walked into the courtyard with long strides, followed by Wang Song and Liu Dedong.The expressions on the faces of the two couldn't hide their surprise, especially Liu Dedong, who pointed at Rongrong excitedly and said: "I thought something happened to you, it's fine, it's fine..."

He spoke in a tone as if he was very worried about Fluffy's safety, but Fluffy ignored him, just turned his head away, and the scene was a bit awkward for a while.

Lin Cen looked at him with a half-smile, "We're fine, are you happy?"

Liu Dedong also realized his gaffe, "I just think it would be a pity if you young girls are not well protected..."

"What's the pity?" Lin Cen asked back. She raised her eyes, and her gaze was like a sharp blade, slashing across the other's face. "That's right. After all, if something happens to us, it will be a heavy loss for you."

As soon as Lin Cen finished speaking, the faces of many people present changed.

Liu Dedong was tongue-tied and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wang Song.

Wang Song stepped forward and said to Lin Cen, "I don't understand what you're talking about, but there may be some misunderstanding between us..."

"There is a shortage of food in the village, and there are dangers everywhere at night."

Lin Cen interrupted unceremoniously as if he hadn't heard what he said, "But for outsiders, you provide food, arrange people to protect and watch, and you can even say 'the lives of outsiders are more important. ’ If this is the case, then there is only one problem——keeping outsiders can gain benefits.”

"Let me guess what the benefit is that got you to this point... it's food, right?"

Wang Song's expression froze for a moment, he didn't speak, but his silence answered everything.

"There is no food source in the village, and the most lacking thing is food. I guess the rule here is that as long as we survive for three days, we can get food. After that, it doesn't matter whether we live or die."

The villagers looked at each other in dismay, with panic and shock on their faces, as if they were wondering why Lin Cen knew this.When he heard the word "three days", Liu Dedong suddenly realized something, "You, you eavesdropped on our conversation, you did it on purpose! It really is the most poisonous woman's heart!"

He spoke outrageously, as if he were the victim.

"You are only allowed to count us, we are not allowed to count you."

Ning Mianmian was annoyed by his logic, and couldn't help but retort, "And who knows how many people you have tricked before us, and you are not afraid of retribution."

Liu Dedong said convincingly: "What are you plotting against? Giving you room and board and protecting you, can this also be called plotting?"

"Everything has a price."

Lin Cen looked at him calmly, and said, "Since the survival of newcomers can be exchanged for food, it is essentially goods, and the price is naturally borne by the newcomers."

"As for the price...it should be that if you don't find a way out of the village within three days, you will be trapped in the village forever just like you. So you have tried your best to protect the newcomers, and you don't want to let the newcomers find their own way out The time and opportunity to ruin your plan, and then tamper with the food, trying to make us fall asleep during the day."

Lin Cen looked at the pale faces of the villagers, and smiled lazily, "If you can fight ghosts at night, you won't be wiped out. I guess everyone used to be a player."

The only source of food in the village is to exchange the freedom of newcomers, so only by continuously replenishing newcomers can the villagers barely maintain food and clothing.

If the newcomer is a player, then many things can be explained.

For example, why Wang Song can manipulate paper figurines to test them, why Xiaofang is so afraid of them, and why in that endless cemetery, the birth years on the tombstones are relatively concentrated.

Everything is because this is basically a village made up of game players.

Essentially, this is a mutual trial between players.

The facts were ruthlessly exposed, and the air was eerily quiet.The villagers backed away with their heads lowered, not daring to meet Lin Cen's gaze.

"No matter what the purpose is, our approach is to protect you."

After a while, the village chief spoke in a deep voice, and he sighed, "It's not that no one tried to go out, but those people all died on the way out, and there is no precedent for success."

"Some people always think that they are special and can successfully enter Guixu and leave here through that road, but they all fail. Instead of going to die, it is better to stay in the village from the beginning and live in peace and security."

After hearing this, the villagers echoed in low voices.

"Young people still have to listen to advice, don't you want to hit the south wall and not look back?"

"It's too late to regret."

"That's right, I really don't know what to do..."

Amidst the noise, Ning Mianmian saw that Xiaofang was standing at the end of the crowd, still showing her timid and obedient attitude.

The eyes of the two collided inadvertently, and the other immediately retracted his gaze as if guilty of guilt.

Ning Mianmian couldn't help but feel a little sad.

A moderate player like Xiaofang only thinks about protecting himself, for fear of saying the wrong thing and offending a new player with good strength.And the scheming old people like the village chief not only want to calculate the newcomers and extract their value, but also want to brainwash the other party to make them become like themselves.

Those who discovered the clues died on the way out, and most of the newcomers who were kept in the dark and trapped in the village, it was too late when they discovered the truth.A done deal, there is nothing to do but accept reality.

It is unrealistic for one person to fight against a player in a village. Even if he is really strong enough to slaughter the village, doing so will not do him any good. It is better to work together with the previous players to continue to deceive newcomers and make a living.

of course there are exceptions.

For example, Xu Si.

After everything came to light, Xu Si's hatred for the villagers became easy to understand.

If the villagers had known in advance that Xu Si was so twisted and extreme that he would retaliate wildly against the villagers, they would rather starve for a few days than choose to keep him.

"Taking a step back, even if you really want to protect us, the first thing to consider should be our personal wishes."

Lin Cen spoke coldly to the angry crowd.Although her volume was not high, and there was no emotion in her voice, there was a wonderful deterrent force, and the noise around her suddenly fell down.

"Whether to go or stay, the right to choose should be our own, rather than letting other people with ulterior motives make decisions for us under the guise of good intentions."

"Or, such self-deception will make your hearts feel better?"

Lin Cen smiled casually, and his long and narrow eyes were full of sarcasm, "If you make decisions for others without kicking the iron board, you will suffer."

The crowd was silent, and everyone could hear the threat in her tone.

Wang Song, who was always calm, was already dripping with cold sweat at this moment, one Xu Si was enough to bear, and he couldn't afford to offend him even if he couldn't beat him, so he could only turn a blind eye and close one eye and let it go.He had a terrifying intuition that if the silver-haired woman in front of him was forced to stay in the village, she would do something even more terrifying than Xu Si.

The two sides faced each other in silence for a while, and the village chief took the initiative to speak.

"You are right. As long as the newcomer survives for three days, food will be refreshed at designated locations in the village. What we did before was also for the purpose of making a living and saving our lives."

His voice was hoarse, and he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, "What do you want?"

Seeing the miserable appearance of the crowd, Ning Mianmian felt a little relieved.When the village chief said this, he was implying that he was willing to make compensation so that they would not use violence.

It might take a lot of effort to leave the village, and she didn't want to waste her energy on conflicting with the villagers.

Lin Cen said: "We want to leave here, and we can do it at all costs. Regarding this information, please provide us with as much information as you can."

The village head replied, "No problem."

He is a smart person, knowing that at this point, sending Lin Cen and the others away is the best choice.

Even if they can't get food this time, it's better than leaving these giant Buddhas in the village.

The village head said: "If you kill a certain number of ghosts, or kill a single boss-level ghost, you will drop the key. Last night, you must have got the key. As long as you have the key in your backpack, the next day When you kill ghosts at night, you will get evil spirit points, and when the evil spirit points accumulate to 100%, the road to the ruins will appear."

His expression was a bit vicissitudes. According to the original plan of the villagers, after finding Lin Cen and the others, he would try to trick them into taking the copper coins that were used as keys.But now there's no need to hide it, you can only say what you have.

Ning Mianmian was surprised: "It's that simple?"

"The things that seem easy are the hardest."

The village chief smiled wryly, and the fine lines on his face were wrinkled, "People who enter Guixu will return to the entrance of the village within a day, in the form of corpses."

His eyes were empty, and he seemed to be lost in memory, "Those corpses are too horrible to look at. It can be said that it is impossible to tell that they were originally human beings."

Ning Mianmian took a light breath: "Has no one ever survived?"

"No, never. Didn't the key also write 'the way home is hell'." The village chief said, his expression became anxious, "there is a book in the village, which records the relevant information of some people who entered the market. information. But this notebook was snatched by Xu Si."

A pensive look appeared on Ning Mianmian's face. No wonder Xu Si hated the villagers so much. He must also be unwilling to be trapped here, so he was always looking for a way out.

If the villagers were asked to ask Xu Si for the notebook, it would be like adding fuel to the flames. If they couldn't get the notebook, there was a high probability that they would give away their heads.

The villagers also knew that this was a hot potato, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, for fear of being called out suddenly, they wanted to get the notebook from Xu Si.

Lin Cen looked at the group of people who shrank like quails, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

She said lightly: "It's all gone."

The villagers were immediately relieved, and rushed to the door, and disappeared after a while.

Lin Cen turned around and was about to discuss the next step with his teammates when he saw Rongrong hesitate to speak, and then volunteered to raise his hand.

"How about I go, Xu Si seems to have turned me into a psychopath, so he is very interested in me."
