Chapter 20 The Village Chief's House
Su Li's speculation was obviously closer to the truth.
But ruling out the possibility of water ghosts causing trouble, everyone still couldn't figure out what caused the originally bustling Guxun Village to undergo such earth-shaking changes overnight.
"I have a bold guess."
Hearing this, Zhao Sicheng suddenly swallowed his saliva and said with fear: "Do you think there is a more powerful curse spirit in this village? And it is the one who controls all the curses and destroys the village. The culprit..."
"Is the strength above A-level? That is an S-level curse... Indeed, only S-level can have such an ability to destroy the world."
After hearing what Zhao Sicheng said, Lin Yuanqi, who had always been calm, suddenly showed a panic he had never seen before: "I heard someone from the first area mention this a long time ago. It is only found in a very few treasure hunts. Only in game dungeons can such perverted cursed objects as S-level appear. If there really is such a thing in the village, I'm afraid we will be in trouble this time."
"So serious?" Shen Tinglan's expression turned serious, and the other players also showed expressions of disbelief upon hearing this.
Lin Yuanqi nodded: "The S-level ability is insurmountable. Even if all the current players join forces, they will not be able to confront it head-on."
Among all the people, only Ren Yao showed other emotions besides worry after hearing this sentence.
According to the rules of this game, if I can successfully kill the S-class curse spirit, doesn’t it mean that I can get the highest rating in the space?!
Seemingly seeing through Ren Yao's thoughts, Lin Yuanqi said seriously: "Don't expect to be able to defeat S-class cursed objects. When encountering such a thing, running away is our only way to survive."
"How will you know if you don't try?" Ren Yao responded in a low voice.
"Hey, let's talk it over first. It's your business if you want to die. Don't drag others with you." Lin Yuanqi didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the S-class curse spirit, so he simply and neatly broke off the relationship.
Hearing this, Ren Yao shrugged indifferently: "That's my own business, I didn't ask for your help."
"This kid is really crazy." Zhao Sicheng clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Ling Yun gently squeezed Ren Yao's shoulder and interrupted the conversation between them: "It's not yet confirmed whether there are S-level spells in this treasure hunt game. Besides, there are more ways to get a perfect clearance rating than This one?"
Ling Yun told Ren Yao that the first player to obtain a perfect S-level rating had already left the space, but fortunately, besides him, another female player who had promised to resurrect his teammates was still there.
The female player Lin Yuanqi has also been heard for a long time, her name is Fu Yeling, from District 4. The game she participated in at that time was a mission based on the script of the Midnight Bell; and in that mission, no one except her Spared.
As a psionic player, as powerful as she is, she failed to seal Sadako in the treasure hunt game. But Fu Yeling relied on her outstanding personal ability to destroy the video tape in time and transfer the curse to herself, thus successfully saving the person who had originally taken the initiative. The victim who was haunted and killed by the curse reversed the outcome in one fell swoop.
Therefore, after returning, she received the highest recognition in the space and became the second player in history to achieve perfect clearance results.
"So, if we can figure out what happened here and change the ending of the village's destruction, we have a high chance of getting an S rating." Ling Yun said to Ren Yao: "Although it sounds difficult, I will try my best to help. your."
"Well, if that's the case, don't delay." Ren Yao took a deep breath and took a step forward: "We must go to the village chief's house and ask for details."
"This kid is really impatient." Ling Yun sighed with emotion and sped up to follow.
"Don't tell me, I discovered that even though that little kid had a bad temper, he unexpectedly listened to Ling Yun's words." Zhao Sicheng said in a low voice.
Lin Yuanqi on the side listened and rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Fortunately there is someone who can control him, otherwise I really wouldn't dare let Ren Yao join."
Although Zhao Sicheng looked rough and arrogant on the outside, his mind was surprisingly delicate. He shook his head and sighed: "But I'm a little worried. This kid is full of obsession with resurrecting his brother. What if he does something by then? If you do something impulsive and get angry, I'm afraid it will drag down that silly boy Ling Yun."
"No." Shen Tinglan stepped forward and smiled: "I believe Ling Yun, he can control the situation well."
Compared with ordinary farmers, the conditions of the village chief's house look better. The village chief's house is a large house with gray walls and black tiles. It looks neat and simple from the outside.
Although the door to the courtyard is closed, it is not locked. Listen carefully, and you can hear the sound of someone talking inside.
Ren Yao didn't stop for a moment and decisively opened the door and walked into the courtyard. Seeing this, the remaining people looked at each other in shock. Seeing Ling Yun and Shen Tinglan following closely behind, they also gritted their teeth and followed.
In the hall, a sixty-year-old man was sitting on a wooden chair, lowering his voice and discussing something with a few villagers. Although he could not hear what they said clearly, judging from the expressions of these people, it seemed that something was urgent. .
The arrival of everyone startled them, and the old man looked out the door with a puzzled look. Several other middle-aged people quickly walked into the courtyard, looked at Ling Yun and others, and said in a rather unkind tone: "Why is there another one?" Approval of people? What is your purpose?!"
Ling Yun looked around, but there was no sign of the people from District 5. But judging from the tone of the villagers' conversation, they probably left without staying here too long.
Since he didn't meet them on the way here, it was obvious that Zhao Zhengxun had taken the team members to the ancestral hall outside the village farther east.
While thinking, he noticed that the sixty-year-old man had a sullen expression on his face, and he clutched his right arm from time to time, as if he was injured.
"Sorry, I wanted to ask if a group of people had visited just now?"
Ling Yun quickly explained: "That's right, they are my companions. We were doing investigation and research in the nearby mountains, but a group of people had some unpleasantness on the road, so we separated temporarily. After we came down from the mountain, we didn't expect that there were still people here. They entered the village before me, and after I inquired about it, I found out that they were at the village chief's house."
"You are indeed a gang! Your companions are unreasonable. They intimidated the village chief and insisted on asking questions about our village's ancestral hall and the ruined temple on the mountain. Not only that, they also hurt people!"
As soon as Ling Yun finished speaking, a middle-aged man spoke indignantly: "Do you know that doing this is a taboo?! Normally, even people from our village can't easily approach that ancestral hall, let alone outsiders!"
"Why are you telling them this? You guys just copy them and give them some color. Today, I will definitely drive you foreigners out!"
Another man said, excitedly rushed to the corner and picked up a woodcutter.
Ling Yun found that several villagers had some injuries on their bodies. The man in front of him had gauze wrapped around his arm. Due to the large range of movements, the wounds were torn and a lot of blood oozed out. It looked like he had just been injured in the past two days. injured.
Probably because District 5's previous rude behavior angered the villagers; not only him, but several other people also picked up poles and wooden sticks and walked towards Ling Yun and others menacingly.
"We haven't met the fifth area yet, so we have to fight with the NPC first. Okay, let's warm up first." Zhao Sicheng cracked his joints, and Lin Yuanqi also stretched his muscles, eager to try. Prepare to fight back.
Although Shen Tinglan had no intention of fighting, he saw that several villagers had bad attitudes and did not intend to suffer a loss like this. The current situation was not suitable for using supernatural props, but with the skills of his group, they should not suffer any losses.
