It’s over, I’m surrounded by weirdos and players

Chapter 148: A Choice Without a Choice (4401 words in total)
The thing happened so suddenly that Lin Yi had no time to react and could only passively fall down.

He managed to stabilize his body, but was kicked hard by the person above him.

Rolled right back to the starting point.

So what happened.

Lin Yi rubbed his painful shoulder. The force of that kick was really too strong.

A black footprint was deeply imprinted on it.

"Stop talking, let's go first." Bian Yi did not explain to Lin Yi what happened, but hurriedly picked up the person and ran inside.

He quickly pressed on one of the bookshelves, and a moving door suddenly appeared behind the stone wall.

Lin Yi was pulled into hiding.

Shibi quickly returned to normal.

"He just needs to arrange for people to wait for us to come out."

Then there are traces of constant rummaging.

"I know you have a lot of questions, let's talk about it later." Bian Yi stopped Lin Yi's questions as soon as he opened his mouth. He walked lightly to the safety exit, climbed a few steps inside, and then stopped and seemed to Confirming something.

"I didn't find it either."

There must have been an accident on the other side of the exit.

It's like he knows this place very well.

"Not here either."

"Forget it, seal the exit. If they can't get out, they will be trapped and die here sooner or later."

"The exit of the safe passage is blocked by them." Bian Yi looked at Lin Yi and said, "We can't get out for the time being."

"March 1725, 3, Qing. I finally became the village chief of Yunlai Village. I have to protect everything here so that the price my son paid will not be in vain."

The stone door moved again, and Lin Yi followed Bian Yi out.

It can be heard from the conversation that they are looking for someone.

"The time has not come yet?" Lin Yi looked at Bian Yi doubtfully.

Then it became completely quiet, without any movement.

There was also the trap Shimen just now, without hesitation at all.

"You can read it carefully first and then think about what you want to ask me."

"Actually, the village chief noticed someone entering the burial ground of the ancestral hall from the time we stood on the altar." Bian Yi found a spot at random, weighed his books and sat down, pointing to one of the bookshelves. The book said: "He has activated the mechanism. Every step we take is under his control. If we want to leave, we can only go from here.",

After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the two people hiding, nor the hidden mechanism.

The outer shell of the diary is a little worn, the corners of the pages are slightly rolled up, and the paper inside is also a little yellowed, but the handwriting is still clear and complete.

"The footsteps disappeared."

It can be seen that someone carefully preserved it.

"That guy himself is impatient, and his subordinates are not very stable either." Bian Yi chuckled, "Part of the answers you want to know are in this diary."

A series of hurried footsteps came from the emergency exit.

This is to prevent the rest of the people from suffering too.

Bian Yi didn't speak anymore, just pointed to the diary in his hand.

"I do still have a way to leave, but we can't leave now." Bian Yi explained with a smile: "The group of people just now will definitely wait for us to ambush at the safety exit."

"You only have three chances to ask the answer." After saying that, he moved his neck and added as if he remembered something, "Don't worry about their safety. It's still safe before the time is up."

A minute later he climbed back up.

“I don’t have one here either”

No wonder a scream was heard.

As he opened the diary, he said: "It's just that the village chief didn't expect that the ambush person acted a little hastily and took action without confirming the number of people."

Lin Yi followed his line of sight and walked towards the books, flipping through them and found a hidden diary of the village chief.

"But you still have a way to get out, right?" Lin Yi keenly heard other meanings from the other party's words. He was a little curious as to why Bian Yi could say such words so confidently.

At least there is a glimmer of hope.

"Didn't find anyone else?"

He read each page carefully, as if he were going back in time, and scenes of the past were slowly unfolding before his eyes.

"So they discovered us just now and captured Liu Jingjing?" Lin Yi immediately realized what had just happened.

"March 1725, 3, light rain. After the rain, the village finally had clean water. Coupled with the black river left by the immortal, everything is developing in a good direction."

It is precisely because of this that Ah Qi in front of him and Bian Yi behind him would catch him and kick him.

It sounded like after the leader finished speaking, he led the rest of the group and left through the emergency exit.

Ten minutes later, a loud bang was heard coming from the direction of the safety passage.

"It was cloudy on April 1725, 4. The situation in the village has basically stabilized, and there are no more cases of villagers dying of hunger or thirst. The sick people are gradually recovering."

Lin Yi looked at the first half of the content, which basically introduced some situations in which the village was slowly recovering.

Since the help of the immortal, Yunlai Village got rid of the predicament and gradually moved towards the road of self-sufficiency.

Everything seemed to be back to normal, and the village was peaceful and harmonious.

I just didn't expect that the first owner recorded in the diary was actually the little boy's father.

This is quite surprising.

After all, the only record of the little boy in the village diary is that he was dependent on his mother.

Maybe there are some unknown secrets here.

Lin Yi secretly guessed and continued to look down.

"October 1725, 10, Qing. It was the first time I entered the temple to worship. I didn't know what General Momonga liked to eat, so I could only make as much food as possible to express Yun Lai's wishes to the village."

"November 1725, 11, a cloudy day. There have always been some strange noises in the village at night recently, but I can't find the reason. I was really worried that I could only enter the temple and ask for help. Unexpectedly, General Momonga agreed simply. Come down and tell me that you don’t need to bring so much food next time, just put out a few sweet cakes. General Momonga is really a good mouse.”

"October 1726, 10, cloudy. This time, I specially prepared sweet cakes as instructed, and secretly added two bottles of sweet wine. I hope General Momonga likes it and thanks him for his help last time."

"August 1727, 8, it was a cloudy day. The grandson of Lao Li's family ran into the mountains for some reason, and couldn't find anyone for five or six days in a row. I had no choice but to ask General Flying Squirrel for help again."

"August 1727, 8, sunny. General Flying Squirrel is really powerful. The grandson of the old Li family actually appeared at the door of his house. He was so sleepy that he didn't know what happened. Thank you again, General Flying Squirrel. Next time I will definitely prepare more sweet cakes."

"October 1763, 10, light rain. This is the last time I come to see General Momonga, and from now on I will be the new village chief. I hope everything is well in Yunlai Village, and General Momonga is also well."

"October 1764, 10, cloudy. It was the first time I met General Momonga. It was amazing that he could really speak human words. But he didn't seem happy, and he didn't even eat a few pieces of sweet cake. . Are you tired of eating?"

"October 1765, 10, sunny. Sure enough, I was tired of eating, and the last offering was basically untouched. I'm sad, I really don't know what to give."

"1766. It was cloudy on May 5th. There would always be strange noises in the village in the middle of the night. The source could not be found. It scared several children and gave them high fever. Even the village doctor was helpless. I had no choice but to plead General Momonga helps.”

"October 1766, 10, cloudy. Thank you General Momonga for your help, but it didn't appear this time. Even if the enshrinement was changed, it remained unchanged." "October 3, 1808, sunny. I I didn’t expect that I would be able to enter the temple again one day. It’s been a long time, General Momonga. He still likes to eat sweet cakes so much, it hasn’t changed at all.”

Huh?
What does this mean?
Lin Yi continued to scroll down with doubts, and after reading more than a dozen items in a row, he suddenly realized it.

It turned out to be so.

It is really amazing that the third village chief is actually the first village chief.

No wonder General Momonga's reaction was so repetitive.

It turns out that people are different.

But why is General Momonga so special to the first village chief?

Lin Yi felt that there were more and more mysteries in his heart. He continued to scroll down, and something even more surprising happened.

The fourth and fifth terms later
Almost all the same people.

Apart from him, almost no one could communicate with General Momonga and get help.

"You" After Lin Yi read the content of the last page, his heart was already in turmoil, but his face was still calm.

Bian Yi stood up and said with a smile: "Have you thought about the problem?"

"Are you Bian Yi or the village chief?" Lin Yi asked the first question tentatively.

Bian Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the person in front of him and said, "These seem to be two questions? Are you sure?"

"Are you the current village chief?" Lin Yi quickly changed his question. Being able to know so much about the institutions of the Bone Burial Ground and immediately pointing out relevant clues made it difficult not to make people doubt the other party's true identity.

"Yes." Bian Yi admitted simply.

Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not an enemy. He continued to ask: "How did you follow me through Bian Yi?"

"What a cunning child." Bian Yi heard the trap hidden in Lin Yi's question. It looked like one question, but in fact it gave answers to three questions.

Lin Yi blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "No way, who told you to only ask three questions, and I have too many questions in my heart that need to be answered."

"After they separated at Sanchakou, I possessed him while he was injured and lost his mind." Bian Yi answered the question truthfully, and at the same time told Lin Yi how he did it and when he did it.

More importantly, this answer told Lin Yi that he and Bian Yi were not the same person.

"What is your purpose?" Lin Yi asked the last question.

Bian Yi took a deep look at Lin Yi, his expression unprecedentedly solemn and serious, "I hope you can help me restore the peace of Yunlai Village to its past."

"why me?"

Lin Yi was surprised by what the other party said.

"This is the fourth question." Bian Yi smiled.

Lin Yi refused to give up and continued to ask: "If I agree, can you answer the rest of my questions?"

"Of course." Bian Yi continued with a smile: "After we agree, we will be partners, and we will naturally share all information."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system that had been dormant for a long time came online again to remind him.

[It has been detected that the key figure Li Zhengguang has sent a request to you, and a camp battle will automatically start. Please make your choice. 】

[Your toxicity value is detected to be 42, please choose carefully]

[Select countdown: ten seconds]

Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven.
Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a headache when looking at the three mission options.

What kind of choice is this?

Close the face and open it wide?

If he dares to choose the first one, the person in front of him will definitely take action directly.

If he chooses the second one, he will be immediately poisoned, and there might be some terrible illusion that will tempt him.

As for the third one, it is not considered at all.

The price/performance ratio is too low, and the task content is too vague and broad.

Although it doesn't add too much hatred, nor does it add any toxic negative buffs or anything like that, it also doesn't have any good positive things.

It's just that a person who enters the temple area will not be attacked by Bianhua, which is still a bit weak.

He can't always hide in the temple.

And Lin Yi didn't forget the purpose of coming here, which was to find his mentor and bring him back.

This alone made it impossible for him to stay in one place.

"Is it so difficult?" Li Zhengguang looked at no one who answered for a long time, and then said: "If you are willing to help, I can also help you find all the missing people in the inspection team."

"I can tell you with certainty that your mentor is still alive and is still safe."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yi's face suddenly showed a tangled look.

Seeing this, Li Zhengguang struck while the iron was hot and said, "But if you don't help, sooner or later he will be killed by Bianhua."

"Can you guarantee that he will always be safe?" Lin Yi hesitated for a moment before asking, "I'm talking about the kind that will be safe no matter what happens."

"Of course." Li Zhengguang replied confidently: "I can help you find the person and send him to the temple."

"There is immortal power in the temple, which can protect him from the flowers of the other side."

"When we deal with Bianhua, he can naturally come out safely and go home safely."

After Lin Yi was silent for a moment, he nodded, "I promise you."

He had read the village chief's diary which clearly wrote about the temple. The power of the immortal could indeed protect his mentor.

"So happy to cooperate." Li Zhengguang reached out and took out a golden sign and handed it to Lin Yi, "This is a token between you and me."

Lin Yi took the token and looked at it. The strange symbol was clearly engraved on it, "What kind of mark is this?"

Li Zhengguang explained: "This is a mark unique to the temple. With it, it can resist the damage of the other side flower to a certain extent, and it can also provide a reminder when there is danger."

Lin Yi looked at the token curiously and asked, "For example?"

"For example, if there is danger, it will emit a golden light, and if it is infringed by the other side flower, it will become hot."

Li Zhengguang had just finished speaking.

The next second, Lin Yi felt that the coldness in his whole body was condensing to one place, and the token in his hand became hot.
