I kill the gods in the infinite script

Chapter 29 Puppet Town (12)
Late at night, everyone gathered at Zuo Si's house, but Bai Shu really didn't follow.

The things prepared by the mayor were placed at the door early, with a piece of letter paper with rules written on top.

Because Zuo Si was an outsider and had lived in the town for less than ten years, he could not be buried in the town's tombs.

Moreover, the town residents believe that outsiders carry evil spirits and will affect the town's luck.

Although it is a superstitious statement, it is true that the wishing puppet has disappeared since they came to the town.

Shuli and the others already knew these, including the burial ritual process.

When leaving the town, two people are required to push the cart, and two people hold lamps to accompany the cart on both sides, but the eyes of the deceased must be covered.

Shu Li followed behind empty-handed, feeling very guilty.

"We found something this afternoon." Cuo Yue suddenly said.

"This town didn't exist from the beginning. Didn't Boss Shu mention a book called "Qi General Zhi" before? This town was built by the descendants of that general."

"The "Qi Jiang Zhi" records the story of puppets only in the third year of Ming Zuo."

Shu Li remembers it very clearly: "If the puppet was in his hands, he shouldn't be in despair in his later years."

"We asked more than a dozen older townspeople, and the version that has been passed down is probably that Di Ji defeated the enemy because of her wish, but suffered divine punishment. Before she died, Di Ji gave the puppet to General Qi. "

"General Qi saw his benefactor dying tragically in front of his eyes. He originally wanted to destroy the puppet. But the puppet had a spirit, and in the end it was just trapped using a secret method."

Hearing this, Hua Rong asked thoughtfully: "In this current timeline, are the puppets also trapped?"

Shu Li looked up after hearing this, and sure enough her eyes came over.

Cuoyue also nodded and said: "According to records, the puppet is the same height as a human being. In this case, the only way to trap it and not find it is in the basement of the hotel."

Shu Li: I know...

"I think so too." Shu Li nodded: "After I get how to open the door, we'll go take a look."

Hua Rong had an unknown smile on her face and did not continue to say anything.

Cuo Yue continued talking.

"Qi General won the battle with a small number at the expense of Emperor Ji's life, but the court thought he really had such ability and scorned the peace letter handed over by the enemy. So when the war started again, General Qi was killed defeat."

"Although General Qi did not die, he was poor and poor in his later years, and he often felt that he had failed his benefactor, Emperor Ji. When he was dying, he told everything to his son."

"He looked away. His son is not there." Shu Li said, and it was easy to guess what happened next.

"So wishing is a scam. If you rely on wishing to achieve anything that is not yours, you will have to bear the penalty of changing your destiny."

Cuoyue and He Jian looked at each other, looking at Shu Li in surprise.

"Indeed. General Qi's son wanted to be rich and powerful, and wanted to become the overlord of the country. For such a big wish, God's punishment came within an hour."

"It was General Qi's nephew who founded the town. He used the secret method passed down by General Qi to trap the puppet again."

"and after?"

"He found a way to win-win." Cuoyue said mockingly, "The foundation of this town is a huge magic seal. Everyone can make a wish, and everyone will share the divine punishment equally."

Several people were silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Shu Li looked calmly at the two people pushing the cart. The liveliness and joy in the morning were long gone.

"Is there anything else?" Shu Li asked softly.

Cuoyue looked back at her and was about to speak when her feet seemed to have stepped on some depression and she immediately lost her balance.Cuoyue jumped straight towards the car. The accident happened so fast that He Jian on the side did not react and lost his hand for a moment.

Cuoyue overturned together with the car and the person, and several people rushed to help him.

With this fall, the cloth on Zuo Si's face fell off.

"Should everything be okay?" Lin Meiren's voice was trembling a little, and she was clutching the lantern in her hand tightly in the boundless darkness.

"It's okay." Shu Li comforted her, then asked Cuoyue: "How are you?"

Cuoyue kept looking at his hands. Because there was some distance and the light was not bright, Shuli didn't know what he was looking at.

"Hiss..." Cuoyue stretched out her hand: "Something is not good..."

Everyone's eyes fell on his hands, and they saw a layer of skin peeling off the white palm. No blood was shed, but the wood texture inside was revealed.

"?"

"How is this going?"

Shu Li pinched her palm, feeling that the hard bones of the tentacle were actually wood.

"How did you ask about the puppet thing?" Shu Li had a lot of doubts and complained smoothly: "There is something wrong with this, it is simply not good."

Both Cuoyue and He Jian had something wrong with their expressions. They were silent for a few minutes before speaking sarcastically: "We found a prop in the panel mall that can force NPCs to confess, so..."

Shu Li's expression cracked: "How many points?"

"With 3 points each, we asked a few more questions."

Shu Li retracted her previous thought that these two were calm. They were so calm. They were seeking death!
"Then what?" Hua Rong asked.

"This doesn't involve you, does it?" Cuo Yue scratched her head: "It's just that we have a debuff [Wrath of Town Residents] on our panel, which cannot appear in front of residents."

"Why do you think we are burying this damn person in this damn place now?" Huarong asked sarcastically.

"Because we have been identified as a camp from the beginning, it is our task to find the murderer, and it has nothing to do with those NPCs."

"In their eyes, we are in the same camp. Do you think we won't be implicated if you are marked with the rage buff?"

"Can you please be smarter? I've passed the novice dungeon, but you still don't understand the situation?"

"Do you really think this is still a scripted killing that you experience in reality where you only need to solve the case?"

Huarong went berserk.

Lin Meiren not only hid behind Shu Li, but also pulled her back several steps.

"Didn't Boss Shu just use the props casually? We thought it was okay..."

He Jian muttered something in a low voice, and Huarong's anger, which had just calmed down a lot, exploded again.

"Brother, is it the same? Can it be the same? She is used on players. You can't kill her even if you are angry?"

"What about you? You used it on NPCs." Hua Rong cursed a few curse words and continued to scold.

"The last dungeon was made by those idiots who increased the difficulty of the dungeon for points. This dungeon comes again, and I am just unlucky!"

"To put it bluntly, it's enough to solve the case, but you insist on bringing up old things and make it more difficult for yourself!"

Huarong's tone was full of ridicule: "Do you have that ability?"
