Infinite spooky game

Chapter 31 Carnivorous ([-]) Couplet

The boy was not alive with the naked eye, he muttered "want to eat meat", his eyes wandered back and forth on the players, greedy and salivating, as if he would pounce on the players to bite and eat at any time.

No one would feel comfortable being stared at like this. Yang Yundong's eyebrows twisted into the character "Chuan", and Zhu Ling's face became a little ugly.

The first one who couldn't stand it was the grumpy, slovenly man. He stepped forward a few steps and slapped the boy on the face. The sound of "slap" was particularly shocking in the quiet village.

Qi Si noticed that the man's palm was tied with a black rope to a cross, which shot out a dazzling white light the moment he touched the boy.

This is probably a prop he obtained in the first copy, which can obviously be used to deal with ghosts, and his sudden attack is not without reason.

"I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!" The man slapped the boy while cursing, as if he was emboldening himself, but also as if he was doing it for others to see.

The two rookies watched in awe, and the other old players didn't intend to stop them.

Rushing to do something to the ghost NPC may be courting death, or it may mean an opportunity, which can improve the evaluation level and unlock achievements.

It’s best to be bold and willing to try and make mistakes. Players know how to let go of their need to help others and respect the fate of others.

The boy didn't fight back, or even respond.As the man's slap fell, his head became more and more tilted, and when it reached almost ninety degrees, it fell to the ground with a "slap".

The man was frightened by the sudden change and took a step back. He saw the boy's skull on the ground rolling, biting into the man's trouser leg.The skinny body stood upright, and a rumbling sound came from his abdomen: "Are you willing to give me meat?"

The system beep sounds timely.

[Rules have been refreshed]

On the system interface that originally only had three lines of copy information, there was an extra rule.

[1. The ghosts in Su’s Village cannot be killed by forces from outside the village. They are very vengeful, but sometimes forgetful. As long as you are willing to give them meat, they are willing to be friends with you]

The scruffy man was called Zhao Feng, and the moment he saw the rules, his face was a little ugly, and he no longer had the previous ferocity.

Others looked at him as if they were looking at a dead person.

The rules in the newly opened dungeon are also called "death rules". As the name suggests, in most cases, people's lives have to be filled in to find out.

Qi Si was not interested in the life and death of others, he squinted at the newly emerging rules, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Unexpectedly, this is another dungeon of strange stories about rules, but compared with the previous dungeon, the rules of this dungeon are hidden deeper.It is not given directly to the player, but for the player to try to die.

Can't be killed by forces from outside the village, so do we need to rely on the power within the village?What could that be?

"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, give me meat..." The eyes of the head were bloodshot, and the mouth was grinning to reveal densely packed teeth.

I don't know if it's an illusion of Qi Si, but he always feels that the teeth are covered with mucus and shredded meat, which is disgusting.

He became irritable for no reason in his heart. If he hadn't been rational, he might have followed in Zhao Feng's footsteps, trying to see if he could insert the blade into the boy's throat.

"Promise him." Yang Yundong suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

Zhao Feng kicked his feet and tried to throw his head off, while shouting at the top of his voice: "How can I promise him? How can I have meat for him?"

Yang Yundong raised his voice: "If you don't want to die immediately, promise him!"

As if he was shocked, Zhao Feng froze. As he watched the face of the head becoming more and more ferocious, he glared and shouted, "I promise you! I'll give you meat to eat!"

The head let go of its mouth, turned its back up, and stared into Zhao Feng's eyes.

Yang Yundong said: "Tell him that you don't have any meat for him to eat for the time being, and you will have to wait a few days."

Zhao Feng lowered his head and stared at the head on the ground: "I don't have any meat for you right now, it will take a few days."

After he finished speaking, he held his breath and waited for an answer. There was only the faint sound of wind in the air.

After an unknown amount of time, the boy bent down and picked up the head that had rolled on the ground, and put it back on his bare neck skillfully.

"It's a deal, tomorrow, tomorrow I will have meat."

He said, turned his head, and smiled at the players as if nothing happened: "You are the guests that grandma said, right? My name is Axi, you follow me to my house, we like guests the most."

The boy named "Axi" turned his head, stopped looking at the players, and led the way in front of him bouncing around.

At this point, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the first death point passed the level in a daze.

Still led by Yang Yundong, the players followed one after another.

"If it weren't for this damn rule, I'd make it go away every minute, and never be reborn..." Zhao Feng cursed bitterly, then leaned up to Yang Yundong and asked, "Brother Yang, what should I do tomorrow? Where can I find meat for him?"

Yang Yundong said without looking back: "Find your own way. If you have nothing to do, you should provoke these ghosts. You deserve it."

Zhao Feng felt a pinch on his nose, the muscles on his face trembled, and he was particularly angry.

On the other hand, Zhu Ling comforted, "You don't have to be afraid, all kinds of ghosts have ways to deal with them. No matter how bad it is, you can always find the meat in a day."

Zhao Feng glanced at her twice and said nothing.

Qi Siyin observed the crowd for a long time and roughly figured out the nature of these people.

Yang Yundong is undoubtedly rich in experience in dealing with weirdness, but he obviously has no interest in the position of leader, so he usually behaves indifferently and keeps strangers away.

Zhu Ling probably has some ideas about leadership, so she first told everyone about her profession as a "celestial master", and then continued to release goodwill intentionally or unintentionally to unite people's hearts.

As for Zhao Feng, Qi Si didn't believe that he was an idiot who would come up on the spot as soon as his brain got hot, otherwise he would definitely not survive the first dungeon, but he probably wasn't very smart either.

Qi Si saw a statement in the weird game forum, saying that the existence of weird games is to screen humans.

So, what kind of people do weird games need?Is it an isolationist, a rationalist, or an egoist, a pragmatist?
There is no answer, or no one is willing to say the answer.

Qi Si calmed down his fluttering thoughts, gently stroked the tape recorder in his arms, and silently looked around.

The roads in Su's Village are narrow and bumpy, and the dilapidated houses on both sides are crowded together, making it cramped and depressing.

The couplets pasted in front of the houses have long been white and tattered, claws and claws on the door like festering scars, and the handwriting is illegible.

Moss and ferns grow freely on the eaves, hanging under the eaves and fluttering slightly in the wind.

Looking all the way, it was dark inside the windows, and not a single person could be seen.

Where have all the people gone?A village that develops tourism, even if it is not full of shops, it shouldn't be so sparse...

Qisi waited for a long time and did not wait for other players to ask questions. He simply said in a casual tone: "Axi, why are there so few people in your village? Have they all moved away?"

"No." The boy leading the way replied with a smile, "Everyone will come out at night."

night?It sounds a bit like the setting of Hyakki Night Walk...

Qi Si's eyelids twitched, but he saw the boy pointing to the yard in front of him and said, "Here, my house is in front of me!"

The courtyard is a traditional structure with cornices and two faded red lanterns hung under the eaves, which looks like an ordinary rural house.

There are two "Fu" characters pasted on the door, and there are couplets on the doorpost. On the right is "burning incense every year to get rid of karma", and on the left is "eating vegetarian food every year to get rid of sins".

The couplets have faded, but the handwriting can still be seen clearly. It can be seen that it has not been pasted for too long, at least not more than a year.

Qi Si's gaze stayed on the word "vegetarian" in the couplet. If he remembered correctly, this copy was called "meat".

The discrepancy in this aspect is not a typo, right?
There are also expressions of "karma" and "sin", which are a bit weird no matter how you look at them...

There was no time to think about it, I just heard a long "squeak" and the door opened from the inside, revealing an old woman wearing red and yellow floral clothes.

Her hair was all white and tied back. Her wrinkled face was like a crumpled tissue, and it was as dark as if it had been painted with charcoal. Her little feet were wearing black cloth shoes, which were trembling as if they would fall over if the wind blew them. .

The dress of a typical country woman, her expression can even be called kind and kind, compared with the obviously weird boy, she looks like a real person.

Seeing the old woman, the boy happily ran up, hugged her leg, and turned his head to look at the players.

The old woman leaned on the door frame, grinned her toothless mouth, and said with a smile: "The guests are here, come and share the room. Only after the room is divided can we share the meat..."
