It has always been here, always by our side, in our bodies.

It's just that everyone has forgotten its existence, and no one can remember it anymore.

But it doesn't matter.

You have remembered it again, haven't you?

Come on, accept its existence.

Accept this beautiful, desirable beauty.

"Hu... Hu..."

The blood-red flowers are gradually spreading.

Gao Hai stumbled back, and then he half-knelt on the ground because of weakness.

Gulu——

Not far away, Zhen Fei, who was still walking towards Gao Hai, suddenly trembled slightly on her cheek, as if she wanted to say something.

When Gao Hai raised his head and looked at Zhen Fei, he saw a few small flowers growing slowly on the girl's face. And, as more vines spread, the face peeled off from the forehead and slowly slid down.

Snap!

The girl's cheek, which had already turned into a blood flower, detached from her head and fell to the ground.

There were no nerves, bones or brains in the head. There were only vines and flowers under the skin, and only the creeping, growing and spreading blood-red color.

Feeling the gaze.

In a trance, Gao Hai once again felt the gaze of the mountain god.

Full of confusion, pity and regret, as if sighing about something, as if recalling something.

But it doesn't matter, right?

Because you have found it again.

You are with it again.

This time, don't abandon it again, okay?

Let's just be together happily, that's good, isn't it?

It was like such a voice sounded from the depths of my heart.

Such a kind, so convincing, a voice that people can't doubt.

Of course, people born in this universe, this world, this planet, and humans born on this land can't doubt this voice.

Gao Hai could already understand this, because many years ago, perhaps thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even longer, in the years that have disappeared in history, all humans on the entire planet coexisted with this thing, and were parasitized by it in their flesh and blood.

Even if it has disappeared without a trace and no longer exists in the real world, as long as someone sees it again, as long as someone remembers it again, as long as it appears in front of people again, it will be remembered again. Once this condition is achieved, no power can refuse it, because human flesh and blood have always remembered its existence, and have even been eagerly waiting for its return and its reappearance.

"... Maybe next time I should think of a way to seal those eyes a little bit."

After a moment of silence, Gao Hai slowly stood up.

Reaching out his hand, he grabbed the blood-colored flowers growing from his chest.

The next moment Gao Hai tore open the flowers and threw them on the ground.

He could refuse it.

Although the reason is unknown, Gao Hai seems to be able to reject its parasitism to a certain extent, delaying the process a little.

Kita Yuyo remained silent. It was unknown whether she was speechless because of the instantaneous annihilation or because she was also a [native of the native world] and was eroded in some way, so she could not react for the time being.

After coughing up another mouthful of blood, Gao Hai turned around and took a step, heading towards the inside of the village.

As for what kind of ghost thing Jianzi saw at the mountain god, which caused the whole team to be wiped out at the beginning, Gao Hai had no intention of trying to understand. At present, the mystery between Lijia Village and Liujia Village has not been solved, and there is no trace of Zhang's family. Even if a terrifying thing suddenly jumped out without any cause and effect, Gao Hai did not intend to investigate it. After all, when there is almost no effective clues in the confusion, it is better to investigate along the existing clues instead of studying an isolated case without any connection.

As for the girls who were wiped out in one breath, we can only wait until the next round.

Anyway... this is not the first time this has happened...

Gao Hai stumbled forward.

Under the power of the immortal blessing, Gao Hai, who had lost his heart, still maintained his ability to move, and his body functions were still running normally. But those red flowers would still slowly grow out of his body, slowly and unstoppably continuing to erode his body.

He could still feel the gaze of the mountain god.

He felt that gaze that came from nowhere, which was definitely not something that humans could have.

It was full of compassion, lamentation, and admiration, as if it was quietly watching someone.

Hmm?

Gao Hai turned his head with some doubts, but the gaze had disappeared. The feeling just now seemed to be just Gao Hai's own illusion.

But he could be sure that his perception would not be wrong.

So, the humane gaze just now was the gaze of the mountain god of the Little Black Mountain?

In doubt, Gao Hai looked back again, looking at the road ahead, looking at the dark country dirt road illuminated by dark red lanterns in the dark night.

No paper man was seen.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and all the paper figures wandering around the village disappeared.

Dang!

Then, Gao Hai heard a loud knocking sound of a clapper.

Chapter 33: Flower of Blood, Blood of God, Things Not Clear Yet and Things Seen Behind the Door

Dang!

Accompanied by another clear knocking sound of the clappers, Gao Hai felt the thing approaching from the front.

The night watchman.

The strange creature that appeared when the real world invaded before the dungeon was opened, and when Jianzi entered Liujia Village in the first round, was now gradually approaching Gao Hai.

Before this, Jianzi once said that when she heard the voice of the night watchman and realized that the other party was approaching her, she felt an extremely strong sense of fear, and realized that if she really came into contact with that thing, the end would be a miserable death.

But Gao Hai did not have this feeling.

When he realized the existence of the night watchman and the moment he realized that the night watchman was gradually approaching him, he had no premonition of danger at all, and no intuition that he was about to face some terrible strange creature. Even... he felt that the thing approaching seemed quite safe.

This feeling is really quite strange. Gao Hai can clearly feel through his own perception that the night watchman who is about to appear in front of him is 100% a strange creature, with abnormal characteristics, can easily kill living people, and cannot communicate or understand. On the other hand, through some strange senses that he himself can't explain clearly, Gao Hai vaguely feels that the night watchman is very safe at this time and can be trusted.

What the hell, why do I think the other party can be "trusted"? Is there any place related to this word for strange things?

However, no matter what, there is no need to avoid the other party now.

Thinking of this, Gao Hai, while enduring the blood flowers and vines gradually appearing on his body, approached the direction of the night watchman.

Since Yotsuya Miko saw that the unknown big boss caused the team to be wiped out, Gao Hai no longer needs to act cautiously. Although he actually has many ideas and plans that have not been implemented, his life is now at the countdown, so it doesn't matter anyway. After all, as long as the blood-colored flower is still growing in his body, Gao Hai will not have much time left.

Whether it is the blessing of immortality, the blessing of transmission, or the blessing of memory modification, it seems that the blood-colored flower cannot be removed. As long as it is touched, it will completely entangle Gao Hai, and no matter what he does, he can't get rid of it. It's like from the moment of contact, the invisible fate has bound Gao Hai and the blood-colored flower together, and they can't be separated anyway.

It can't be said that there is still a way, that is, through the power of the black watch. As long as he dies once and returns to the bloody city, this thing will naturally cease to exist. So far, Gao Hai has never seen the power of any weird thing that can break through the black watch, and he doesn't think this weird blood flower can achieve this. Therefore, he is not panicked in his heart, but just wants to be a little reckless in the remaining time of this round, and try to see if this can trigger something different.

Dang!

The sound of the night watchman's clapperboard is very close.

The dark red lanterns illuminated the street, and Gao Hai walked forward without hesitation, heading in the direction of the night watchman.

He seemed to hear some sound.

It was a faint sound, like someone muttering to himself.

It was a sound that kept repeating, as if begging for someone's forgiveness, and it never subsided.

Whoosh——

A gust of cold wind blew the lanterns on both sides of the street.

And Gao Hai had clearly heard the emotionless voice coming from the dark dirt road ahead.

[It's cold, be careful of the ghost candle! ]

Although he hadn't seen the appearance of the night watchman yet, the sound of that thing was quite penetrating, as if it was ringing directly in Gao Hai's ears.

[Silence, silence, hehe, it's hard to escape the grace of the gods! 】

Then, as if mocking something, the night watchman's voice turned into laughter, full of malicious emotions, as if he was really watching and admiring a certain picture, speaking casually in a leisurely tone, as if he was making some kind of post-event evaluation.

Gao Hai seemed to be able to see such a picture, although it was still blurry now, but he could gradually see some content of the picture.

The villagers huddled in their own huts, huddled on the bed and shivered, trying not to make any sound, praying that they would not be selected.

And the night watchman, while knocking on the clapper, slowly walked to the door outside the villager's house, staring at the door, staring at the shivering villager, grinning and laughing.

The night watchman's voice continued to sound in the laughter full of malice. And Gao Hai finally vaguely saw the dark red figure emerging from the front.

[Alas, those who have not set out at the fourth watch, do you really think you can escape the eyes of the King of Hell? 】

The mocking laughter finally turned into a sigh, followed by earnest words.

[Those who are dogs can only be dogs forever, those who are crazy can never wake up again, and those who are smart can only dig their own graves. Aren’t these roads all chosen by people?]

[But if you don’t want to choose anything, then you can only let others choose for you, otherwise how can your thin arms twist others’ thighs?]

[So when it’s time to go on the road, just go on the road honestly, maybe this is actually a good thing]

As the voice fell, the dark red figure finally arrived in front of Gao Hai.

He saw the appearance of the night watchman clearly.

This should have been a very old man, originally a person.

The reason why it is used to say "should" is because it is actually just a human-shaped object entangled with dark red vines and flowers.

Judging from the slightly hunched posture and body shape, if the shape of this thing before and after death is not much different, then Gao Hai estimates that the height of the original living night watchman should be about 1.67 meters, slightly hunched but still strong. Judging from the voice, the age should be over 30 and under 50 years old. Gao Hai cannot be sure of the specific age.

At this moment, this thing is like Jianzi and others after being attacked, and has completely turned into a deformed plant.

But unlike Gao Hai's teammates who died directly, this thing can continue to move, and can still wander around the village as a weirdo, and from time to time shout various lines, repeating what it may have said before.

It did not attack Gao Hai, nor did it cause any harm to Gao Hai.

Gao Hai already knew the reason for this situation, because the deadly pollution carried by this thing has now infected Gao Hai. As a carrier of infection, he will not be repeatedly infected by the same source of pollution, so in front of the thing [night watchman], Gao Hai is now safe.

So that's how it is.

So, the reason why [night watchman] cannot be touched in the rules is because this thing carries the curse power of [blood flower].

Gao Hai sighed softly after understanding the reason.

However, he was still a little confused.

Jianzi saw the thing after being watched by the mountain god of Xiaohei Mountain, which means that [blood flower] itself should be closely connected with the existence of the mountain god. But why did such a terrible thing not show any trace at all in the first round? And since the power of [Blood Flower] is strong enough to kill a powerful player within seconds, how could the [Night Watchman], who was probably just an ordinary human in his life, maintain his existence after being eroded and transformed by this thing and become the so-called [Night Watchman]?

There must be something wrong.

There must be many blanks in these scenes and phenomena that I have not discovered, so that these clues can be reasonably linked.

Step——

Gao Hai blocked the night watchman.

Without any hesitation, he reached out to grab the clapper and short hammer in the night watchman's hand.

Unsuccessful.

The ordinary-looking clapper and the short hammer for striking seemed to grow together with the night watchman's hand, and no matter how hard Gao Hai tried, he couldn't pull it off.

Well, it doesn't matter if he didn't get it off, it can be confirmed that it is an obsession.

So Gao Hai dripped blood on these two things and completed the marking with his own unique method.

The night watchman did not make any move, but continued to move forward, continued to beat the clappers, and continued to shout.

This thing treated Gao Hai, who had been infected by the [Blood Flower], as air and did not react to him at all.

Gao Hai was not surprised, after all, the strange things were mechanical and dull. So he followed this thing, and after a little thought, he took out the next prop to continue testing.
