From the reaction on the villager's face at that time, the player's gift-giving action seemed to have angered him. But after receiving the gold bar, the expression on this person's face turned into a happy look, or to be more precise, the villager's face seemed to be stretched by some force to show a smile, and his whole face was completely tense.
In other words, can giving something to the villagers produce special effects?
At that time, Gao Hai was investigating in the village full of blood-red flowers, while observing the changes in the villager from the perspective of a [teacher]. Regarding the possibility of such a change, he guessed that the key point lies in the [behavior] or [item] of the gift, and planned to test this matter in the next round.
By the way, who is this cat brother, and why can he take out a gold bar at will?
Then, when Gao Hai's exploration of the blood-red village was fruitless, the welcoming ceremony of the God Festival in Lijia Village was also about to begin. The villager who received the gold bar led the three players of the Moyu Gang to the square. At this time, the villagers' reactions became normal again, as if they were no longer affected by any force. From the perspective of the [Teacher] who followed all the way, Gao Hai could see that the ceremony of the Welcoming God Festival was no different from the first round. It was still as weird and bizarre, which made people think of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Japan.
So, do you want a bomb?
Standing on the empty square with blood-red flowers, which seemed like a sea of flowers, Gao Hai looked at the lively Lijia Village in the perspective of the [Teacher] and couldn't help but have such an idea.
If this ceremony is allowed to continue, he probably won't be able to survive until the end of the ceremony. After all, his infection transformation is already very serious, and the remaining awake time is expected to be no more than 10 minutes.
In this case, there is nothing to hesitate.
Second bomb, third bomb, start!
Designated immune targets, all players.
After a brief thought, Gao Hai chose to summon bombs, and directly summoned the remaining two bombs.
Then, he notified the three players of the Moyu Gang through the [Teacher], and then detonated it.
{Hmm... What on earth is...}
Before the detonation, an unclear voice sounded from the depths of Gao Hai's mind, as if a girl who was temporarily offline due to the impact of the pollution force successfully recovered her thinking ability and was struggling to wake up.
And the blazing light had already drowned everything in the next moment.
Chapter 37: Thoughts on the structure of the dungeon space and the phantom of the past of the ghost suppressor
The bright light that was bright enough to blind people, accompanied by a loud explosion that far exceeded the eardrum's tolerance limit, completely enveloped Gao Hai at this moment.
However, because he had specified that he was not injured in advance, even if he was standing at the center of the explosion, this bomb could not hurt Gao Hai at all, but would only temporarily make him deaf and blind for a while.
However, because someone had not come out before, Gao Hai thought she was gone for a while, so he didn't remember the other person. As a result, she woke up at this moment, so she opened her eyes and was directly hit by an oversized flash point + stun bomb.
{Wooooo——}
A mournful cry sounded in Gao Hai's mind. Although as a consciousness body now living in Gao Hai's body, in theory, as long as Gao Hai himself is fine, Kita Ikuyo will also be fine. But unlike Gao Hai who is protected by the power of blessing, Kita felt the explosion at this time without any obstacles, and felt it in person at a very close distance in the true sense. Of course, because she had no body, she just listened to the sound and saw the light of the explosion.
However, judging from the girl's reaction, it seems that the stimulation is still a bit too great.
The hot air wave swept, tearing the blood-red flowers into pieces and uprooting the vines that spread everywhere.
At the same time, through the perspective of [Teacher], Gao Hai could clearly see that the square over [Lijia Village] also set off a violent airflow at the same time, just like in the first round, blowing a bunch of people away on the spot, and the whole square became a mess.
Well, the power seems to be a little smaller than in the first round.
Gao Hai carefully observed for a while through the hidden [Teacher], and soon noticed that although the power of the bombs was also displayed in Lijia Village, it was obviously inferior to the power in the first round. The most intuitive manifestation of this is the number of casualties among the villagers. You should know that in the first round, there were not many villagers who stayed in the square alive, and most of them were killed. But this time, although the villagers were also blown to the ground by the air wave, most of them could still wail and shout, and could still lie on the ground and continue to struggle. Gao Hai estimated that this wave of bombs might only reduce the number of villagers by about 40%.
The power of the bomb's shock wave has dropped so much. Is this because the space I am in now is farther away from the space where [Lijia Village] is, and the connection between them is more sparse?
Thinking about the possible reasons, Gao Hai's attention returned to his current position. At this moment, the blood-colored vines and flowers that originally covered the square had disappeared, and the ruins of the village in the distance were burning. It seemed that the flames ignited by the explosion of the bombs seemed to have some kind of restraining effect on the blood flowers, and could damage and destroy these things to a certain extent. I just don't know whether the simple flames themselves can destroy them, or whether they must be destroyed by explosions and combustion with supernatural properties like the blessed bombs.
In short, according to the current observations, it can be determined that no matter what state the village is in, there is a special spatial connection with the other villages. Although Gao Hai can only think of using this connection through the explosion of the bomb, he may find a more in-depth way to use this in the next action, so Gao Hai will remember this matter. In addition, although all villages of different forms may be connected to each other, this connection seems to have a certain degree of "distance relationship", so it cannot be simply and roughly determined that this is a situation of multiple spatial overlaps. The real situation may be more complicated.
In any case, new information has been successfully obtained.
Then, we can't waste time next. First, we will see if we can help the three people of the Moyu Gang retreat through [Teacher], and try to keep them as long as possible. If not, take them to another space. For my side, we will continue to go up the mountain along this road...
...Huh?
Gao Hai's thinking suddenly paused.
He seemed to see something.
At that moment just now, in the burning flames, he seemed to see something.
No, that's not right.
What he saw was not something in the flames.
Rather, something was revealed in his own body, in the vines and flowers on his body that were affected by the high temperature and whose growth rate slowed down a lot.
That thing came from a very long time ago, so long ago that no trace can be found now, but in these blood-colored flowers and vines, there are still remnants, and these fragments can still be called up by triggering similar scenes.
[My lord, are you okay? ]
Someone bowed and bowed, asking respectfully.
[…I’m fine. At least for thirty days, I can continue to assume the duties of the “suppressor of ghosts”. If I have signs of losing control in advance, just do it directly. Well, from now on, all the attendants around me must be replaced by people who have been injected with “dirty blood”, and ordinary members can no longer get close to me. In addition, the investigation of the "night watchman" can be stopped. He is a senior who has completed self-containment. Unless it is confirmed that there is something in the follow-up investigation that must be done through him, don't bother him anymore...】
Another figure said in a calm tone, and it can be clearly heard that this person's voice is a little weak, and the condition does not seem to be very good.
What is going on?
Gao Hai didn't quite understand what he saw.
The only thing he was sure of was that the scene he saw at this time should have come from a long, long time ago, perhaps decades or even hundreds of years ago.
Under the dim oil lamp, the two people who were talking could be seen, one sitting on a bed and the other standing in the middle of the room, seemingly in a rural earth house. The standing person was wearing a constable's clothes that could only be seen in movies and TV series, and he had a knife on his back; the sitting person was just wearing a coat, and his whole body, including his face, was wrapped in thick bandages, and blood stains could be vaguely seen oozing from the bandages.
Gao Hai felt a familiar feeling from the bandaged man, just like the blood-colored flowers on his body.
While thinking, the conversation in the house continued.
[I understand, sir, I will convey your situation to other executors. The latest batch of reinforcements will arrive within three days. Do we need to shrink the scope of action next? The current casualties are not optimistic.]
The man standing, who seemed to be a subordinate, did not seem surprised by the miserable condition of his superior, and still asked in a calm tone.
[Well, shrink. The balance in this village has been maintained for at least decades. Haste will only lead to chaos and hurt innocent people. However... the paper figurines and night watchmen that move around in the village at night, as well as the statue of the mountain god of the Black Mountain with many strange features, have confirmed three different strange things in this village, and according to observation, there may be more strange things hidden in the village and the surrounding woodlands. How did this place become like this, and even if it has become like this, those villagers can still survive, it is simply unbelievable...】
The man wrapped in bandages sighed while groping around, and found a sealed small cylinder. When he opened the lid, a pungent smell of blood overflowed.
Even though this was just a fragmentary scene separated by a long history, Gao Hai found that he could also smell a strong smell of blood.
That was [God's blood].
Or it was something similar to God's blood, a special thing that was closer to the root than strange things. Therefore, even if it was just a picture, even if it was only seen from a distance, it was enough to make the viewer strongly feel the existence of that thing.
[Gurgle... Gurgle...]
The next moment, Gao Hai saw the man wrapped in bandages drink the blood directly and drank it all in one breath.
[Uh... uh... ha... password... the blood moon has not yet risen, the ghost suppressors will never stop... I'm fine... huh... if I consume one bottle of "dirty blood" a day, I think I can maintain normal operations within 20 days. I just need to prevent ordinary members from getting too close to me, and I can't let them see what's growing on my body, otherwise it will be troublesome. Huh... Okay, I'm about to rest, is there anything else to report? ]
After drinking this thing, the bandaged man seemed to suffer intense pain. He curled up slightly and trembled for a while before taking a breath and recovering. And during this process, the standing figure remained unmoved throughout the whole process. He just stretched out his hand and pressed the handle of the knife. It seemed that as long as the bandaged man made any inappropriate reaction, he would immediately kill his superior with a knife on his head.
It wasn't until the bandaged man said a command that the knife-wielding man breathed a sigh of relief, and his standing posture became much more relaxed.
[No problem, sir, you can go to bed early. It is my honor to work with you]
After bending down and bowing again, the standing man turned around and left, walked to the door on one side of the house, and knocked on the door twice. After waiting for three knocks on the door, there was another deliberate knock on the door. After a low whistle, the man gently opened the door and prepared to leave.
[It is also an honor for me to work with you, to work with you, ahem... Anyway, stay alert, this place is quite lively at night]
The bandaged man waved his hand gently. As he spoke, he moved on the bed to the table on the side of the bed. Under the oil lamp, he took out a brush and a partially written piece of paper, which had not been completely dried. Ink slowly began to write on the blank space of the page.
Gao Hai saw a row of vertical titles he wrote on the paper. The font was different from modern simplified characters, but it was still easy to read.
"Inspection Record of Strange Village Part 3: Watchman"
Isn't this one of the clue files found during the first episode?
Gao Hai was slightly startled when he saw this, and then noticed the paper placed on the side of the table, with some pages with already written content on it. The two page titles "Inspection Record One: Night Tour Paper Figure" and "Inspection Record Two: Xiaoheishan Mountain God Statue" can be vaguely recognized, and there is also a page that is pressed below and the content cannot be seen clearly. The words "initial investigation" were vaguely revealed, which reminded Gao Hai of a incomplete record found during the previous week's project.
[Ahem... Tsk, even after drinking so much, I still can’t hold myself back... What the hell is this...]
The bandaged man coughed a few more times, with a hint of hidden pain in his words.
The bandage on his body showed vague signs of squirming, as if something was squirming under the bandage, something like a vine.
Crash--
Along with a gust of hot wind, the picture in Gao Hai's eyes disappeared.
Although I saw a lot of things, because it all happened in the spiritual world, it actually only took less than a second. At this moment, the surrounding building ruins and plants were still burning under the high temperature, and the blood-red flowers and vines were also rotting and broken under the flames, and they were retreating step by step.
"call……"
Gao Hai took a deep breath, and the scalding hot wind was inhaled into his lungs, causing a less obvious burning sensation.
You can be sure that the bandaged man in the picture you just saw is [Crooked Man Jiang], the one who led people into this village hundreds of years ago to investigate the mysterious creatures and became the object of worship for many villagers. Mystery man.
So it turns out that the reason why he was able to survive after seeing the watchman was because he drank something similar to [divine blood], thus forming a power balance? This is indeed a method, but if you keep swallowing that kind of thing, you may not be able to live long in the end, and you will not be able to rest in peace after death, and you will definitely be transformed into a strange thing. However, the [Crook Suppressor] organization to which the other party belongs seems to be prepared for this. I am afraid that those who join this organization and reach the level of Suppressing Creatures are ready to sacrifice at any time. It can be said that this is a group of strong people with firm beliefs and tenacious fighting spirit.
So where did they go, and why are there no traces of them in modern society?
And, that slogan…
[The blood moon has not yet risen, and the people who suppress the evil will never stop]
Gao Hai recited this slogan silently in his heart.
He had a feeling that if he chanted this slogan at a specific time and place, it would have a special effect.
{Wow...Who, who threw the flash bomb! I feel like my brain is about to faint. What happened just now? Why did it suddenly...}
Kita Ikuyo's voice sounded again at this moment.
Although she experienced the double blow of the flash and explosion of the blessing bomb at close range, and did not have a named protection like Gao Hai, Kita still recovered tenaciously, and listening to her voice, it seemed that the girl was still confused about the situation. It is estimated that after Miko's super successful vision, Kita's consciousness went offline directly. This is quite good, it is better than watching Yili turn into a flower pot on the spot.
Thinking like this, Gao Hai suddenly felt a strong gaze.
From the direction of [Lijia Village], what was suddenly projected at this moment was the gaze of the mountain god.
It was cold and ruthless, and seemed to have a bit of contempt and ridicule.
Buzz——
Then, a second gaze appeared.
When Gao Hai was completely unprepared, another gaze, one full of joy and love, like a mother's kindness, was projected on him.
This gaze belongs to the Fox Empress.
Buzz——
Then, the two eyes converged in Gao Hai's consciousness and looked at each other.
Extremely strong repulsion, followed by crazy killing intent, erupted in an instant.
Chapter 38: Intertwined forces and historical fragments of the moment of origin
Almost instantly, Gao Hai's mind was blacked out.
Two completely different terrifying forces collided violently, and the battlefield was his body and his consciousness.
The mountain god and the fox queen, these two things were like mortal enemies, and they quickly entered a state of fierce confrontation the moment they sensed each other's villages. Of course, generally speaking, this kind of thing is a good thing for players. After all, both the mountain god and the fox queen are too strong, and have reached a point where players can't fight at all. In this case, if you can find an opportunity to let them kill each other, it will definitely greatly increase the player's living space.
But the problem is that now they are fighting in Gao Hai's body.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, he summoned Lao Guo and Howard with difficulty through the rescue team badge, and ordered the two individuals to take him to the mountain to find possible mountain temples or [Ghost Crying Cave]. After that, as the power carried by the two sights of the mountain god and the fox queen ran wildly in Gao Hai's body, his brain was blacked out, and his eyes went black and he knew nothing.
Pain.
Even though he fell into a coma, he still felt intense pain.
His thinking ability recovered again.
His body's functions had not yet recovered, but his mental toughness was enough for Gao Hai to continue to retain a certain degree of self-awareness while his body was in a coma, so as to perceive the surrounding situation.
At this moment, his consciousness was like the pain of being torn apart alive.
The harsh sounds were interlaced and continued. The breath of the mountain god and the fox queen was still fluctuating violently, causing a strong reaction in Gao Hai's body. Although this impact did not cause physical damage, it was still extremely lethal to the player and could easily destroy the whole body's cell structure and cause death. But for Gao Hai, whose body structure had been transformed into blood flowers and vines, the damage caused by this impact was not so serious. The increasingly severe erosion caused his body to turn towards the direction of the weird to a certain extent, which gave Gao Hai a glimmer of hope in this extreme situation.
Of course, this could only help him hold on for a little longer. After all, the blood and vines that eroded his body were deadly things. No matter what Gao Hai did now, he could not escape the tragic end. But he could not feel this at the moment, and even if he knew it, he would not care.
Stay awake.
Gao Hai tried his best to concentrate and keep his consciousness awake.
The mind and body seemed to have a tendency to separate at this moment. With the impact of two completely different external forces and the gradual spread of erosion in the body, this body has begun to gradually transform into a weird thing, and Gao Hai's consciousness has gradually become incompatible with the body, and gradually began to be rejected from this body.
In other words, this time the way of death may be that the soul is expelled from the body and the soul is scattered?
This is a new way of death that I have never experienced.
