The System Exploded And I Became The System

The night gradually deepened.

After having a good meal and a good drink, the villagers fell asleep on the ground with a sense of fatigue.

Two bonfires were crackling, and some leftover bones and wine were scattered on the ground.

In the center of everyone, the primary spirit lamp was still slowly jumping with light.

The spirit lamp had burned halfway.

At this moment, it was one or two o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Village chief, someone is missing!" Li Changkong, who was staring at the primary spirit lamp, suddenly heard Li Man's frightened voice.

Hearing this, Li Changkong frowned: "Who is missing?"

"The youngest son of Li Santu's family, the child was clamoring for candied haws, I slapped him twice and knocked him out and asked Li Santu, the father, to look after the child. I didn't expect that when I went to count the people just now, I found that the child was gone!"

"Li Santu, that idiot, is still sleeping soundly now. He didn't even notice that the child ran away. He deserves to be dumped by his wife!"

Li Man's tone was very anxious, but he kept his voice down.

After discovering that someone had run away, he came to report to Li Changkong as soon as possible.

After hearing this, Li Changkong looked at the dark night outside, and his heart was sinking.

Candied haws is another unique small business in their Li Village.

Every once in a while, the hawthorn trees planted in the village bear fruit, which will be picked by several women in the village to make candied haws and sell for money.

Candied haws are not very popular in Voge Country.

Therefore, there are always some unsold candied haws.

In order to avoid waste, the villagers will give them to the children in the village.

Li Santu, the kid, must have seen that there were still candied haws left today and thought that they would be given to him tonight. Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for them, so he thought of taking them himself, which led to this situation!

"Su Laosi." Li Changkong kicked a muscular man who was sleeping soundly on the ground.

"Well, village chief?" The man rubbed his eyes and opened them sleepily.

"Li Man and I will go out for a while. You watch here. Don't let anyone leave the range of the spiritual lamp, and don't let anyone get close to the spiritual lamp. Understand?" Li Changkong said to Su Laosi in a solemn voice.

And this also made the other party a little stunned.

Afterwards, Su Laosi nodded: "I understand."

...

"Oh, it would be great if Su Liang was here, that guy is definitely more reliable than Su Laosi."

"We go to look for the child in the dark, not only do we have to worry about our own safety, but also the safety of those sleeping people in the village."

Li Man followed behind Li Changkong, speaking with a hint of distress.

After complaining, Li Man looked at Li Changkong again: "Village Chief, why did Su Liang leave our village? Since he stayed in the house with you for a while, he left our Li Village."

"Everyone says that he was appreciated by a magician and even learned magic. Is this true or false?"

Li Man's voice was filled with curiosity.

Li Changkong did not intend to answer this, but continued the current issue: "How long has the child been gone?"

"About one or two hours." Li Man said this, and then looked at the dark night in front of him: "If there are monsters in the dark night, the child would have been..."

"Normally, our Li Village has been covered by high-level spiritual lamps for hundreds of days. Monsters with a certain degree of autonomy outside will follow their previous habits and bypass our Li Village."

"It is unlikely that monsters will enter the village tonight." Li Changkong comforted.

"I hope so." Li Man nodded slightly, and the power of the knight in his body gradually condensed.

"Wow!!"

When the two walked out of the range of the spiritual lamp, a miserable cry from a distance came clearly into their ears!

"It's the child! He's crying!" The moment Li Man heard this voice, his eyes suddenly condensed, and he was about to stride forward and walk out of the range covered by the spiritual lamp.

However, at the moment when Li Man did this, Li Changkong suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

"Village chief?" Li Man looked anxious and a little confused.

"This voice is wrong, calm down!" Li Changkong said in a serious voice.

"Wow!!"

The distant crying sound gradually became clearer after the two of them paused.

"Wow, Dad, Dad, it hurts, it hurts!!"

A clear cry, accompanied by vague words, came again from the darkness outside the range of the spirit lamp.

Hearing this voice, Li Man's pupils shrank, and a fear surged in his eyes!

"Wow!" The crying sound continued, and the vague words were also transmitted.

These sounds were always outside the range of the spirit lamp.

If it was really that child, I'm afraid he has now run back to hisThey were here, but the truth was that the sound was always in the darkness outside!

"Is it the Despair Whispering Demon!?" Li Man's face was already covered with cold sweat.

In the darkness ahead that was not covered by the spirit lamp, it seemed that there was this terrifying existence, quietly waiting for them to step out of the safe range!

"Go back, there is no need to go out again." Li Changkong took a last look at the night, said very straightforwardly, turned around and returned to the area where the villagers gathered.

Li Man paused and followed back.

The Despair Whispering Demon is a very terrifying monster among the monsters in the night!

They like to record the desperate sounds made by living people who die under their claws and fangs.

They are also good at making these desperate sounds before the death of living people, attracting others to step into the darkness, so as to hunt!

If the guess is correct, the monster had already eaten the child who ran away at night alive, and when the sound was heard just now, it was in the dark area just a few meters outside the range of the spirit lamp, watching Li Changkong and Li Man who were about to step out of the range of the spirit lamp with the eyes of a hunter!

...

The next day.

The sky had just brightened, and the spirit lamp surrounded by the crowd also burned out the last trace of residual light.

"These magicians who make spirit lamps are really careful about calculations. They don't even give the lamp oil for one more minute." Li Man looked at the extinguished spirit lamp and couldn't help complaining.

After saying that, he strode towards Li Santu in the crowd.

Two big slaps woke him up directly!

The first ray of light in the morning poured on the ground without temperature.

Sugar house.

Li Changkong stood in front of the house, looking at the skeleton in front of him with only flesh and blood sticking to it, and sighed in his heart.

The skeleton was not big, and the fresh bite marks on it looked shocking. There were also a few candied haws scattered around, which meant that the child ran into the monster after getting food in the house.

In order to record the clearest voice of despair, the Desperate Whisperer usually eats it raw!

"Come, look, look at what you have done?! If you don't even take care of your own child, what's the use of you?!" Li Man threw Li Santu, who had just woken up, next to Li Changkong and pointed to the skeleton in front of the house.

The villagers behind came forward one after another.

After seeing this tragic situation, they realized that a child among them had died last night, and they were all covered with grief.

"Child, my child!" Li Santu finally realized the seriousness of the matter until this moment.

The voice was instantly covered by crying.

...

"I'll go to the city and ask for a priest to help the kid pass away, and also bring in a batch of intermediate spirit lamps."

Li Changkong exhaled a breath of foul air and said to Li Man, who was responsible for the village's combat power, and Li Bo, who was responsible for prestige.

"Well, you go, we'll handle the things here." Li Bo nodded.

Death is a relatively normal thing for people like them who survive in the world.

Five or six years ago, when the village had not yet fully established itself, people died at the hands of monsters in the dark almost every night.

Most of the people in the village survived that situation back then.

Riding the only horse in the village, Li Changkong rushed to the city early in the morning.

This horse in the village is a wild horse.

After Li Changkong met it in the mountains, he captured it and brought it back to the village. He tamed it for several years before he could barely ride it on the road.

In most cases, the horse will still run around as it pleases.

There is no way, horses are a very precious resource in this world.

It is already very lucky to have a wild horse to drive you on your way.

But wild horses are just wild horses after all, and they cannot be truly tamed and used as war horses for knights!

Once upon a time, Li Changkong also fantasized that he could have a war horse, a knight's heavy sword and a knight's shield.

War horse, heavy sword, shield.

Only a knight wearing these three items is a real knight!

But these three items, even the cheapest set requires 500 gold coins.

It is far from what they can think of in Li Village.

Of course, there are also beggar's wooden shields and discarded heavy swords.

These... are tailor-made for people like Li Changkong.

...

After riding a horse out of the village, Li Changkong's hands holding the reins have turned white.

"Go!"

Without saying a word, Li Changkong, with his suppressed thoughts in his heart, rushed towards the city.

The city near Li Village is called Busen City, which is a small to medium-sized city with a population of two million.

When Li Changkong arrived here, he paid a silver coin for the entrance fee and left the wild horse outside the city.

Outsiders entering Busen City need to pay one silver coin every day. If they ride a horse into the city, thisThe fee will be doubled.

If there is no such requirement, I believe that people from all the villages around Busen City will rush in like crazy!

After all, no one wants to face the monsters in the dark!

Because of this restriction, once you can't pay, you will be driven out, so the streets in the city are relatively clean and there are no homeless people at all.

Spirit lamp store.

When Li Changkong arrived here, he found that the store owner was lying on the sofa, counting the gold coins in his hand.

"Boss, buy a spirit lamp." Li Changkong looked at the other party and said.

When the other party heard this, he glanced at Li Changkong, yawned casually, and had no intention of moving at all.

During this time when Li Changkong was left out, a blond old man squeezed in from the empty seat next to him: "Brother Joey, give me thirty intermediate spirit lamps."

"Haha, isn't this Brother Doughty? Thirty intermediate spirit lamps? I've prepared them for you a long time ago! This batch of goods was personally made by the Reynolds magician of the Reynolds family in the city! It's absolutely useful!"

The owner of the store took a 180-degree turn when he saw the new customer.

Soon, thirty intermediate spirit lamps were packed by the other party.

"Yeah." The blond old man pointed at the number and nodded with satisfaction.

When he picked up these spirit lamps with both hands, he couldn't help but glance at Li Changkong beside him. The satisfaction on his face was instantly covered by darkness and rejection: "I didn't expect to meet a cursed person when I came out to buy a spirit lamp. These black colors are really unlucky."
