The weird game of the ancient gods

Xia Yu suddenly burst through the window and instantly turned into a bat, fluttering his wings and flying into the sky in a circle.

Looking down, a huge pit suddenly appeared outside the main entrance of the farmhouse. A war horse with green flames in its eyes was neighing and trying to climb out of the pit. A strange knight without a head was riding on its back.

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was not an ambush from civilian players, but another dark creature. It seemed to be the Headless Horseman, but he didn't know who this person was.

Just as he was thinking about whether to fly down and have a face-to-face meeting, he heard a horn sound in the village, lights were on in the houses, and Feihu and his hound appeared in the forest in the distance. Yu saw something bad and hurriedly flapped his wings and flew towards the cemetery.

There was a lot of commotion in the village that night, but Xia Yu ignored it and went straight back to his hut and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Xia Yu woke up under the sunlight. He stretched and felt that his whole body was full of energy. The blood he had sucked last night had now all been converted into blood energy. He was very energetic. Even the sun shining on my body is no longer unbearable.

clang! clang! clang!

The church bell rang, which was a signal to summon the villagers. Xia Yu did not dare to neglect, straightened his clothes and ran to the village.

When Xia Yu came to the village church, he found that it was already crowded with people.

Both NPCs and players were noisily discussing something. The village chief was whispering something to the inquisitor. The atmosphere was obviously tense. Xia Yu naturally knew the reason, but he still pretended to be curious and asked the person next to him. Xuanniao said, "Xuanniao, what happened?"

Xuanniao's face was solemn, "Fubixue died last night."

"What!" Xia Yu showed a surprised expression, "How could this happen? Those dark creatures are too arrogant. They started killing people on the first day. Isn't Chuixue unprepared?"

Xuanniao shook his head, "She was with Feihu, but Feihu was lured away from the mountain by Luohu. When he came back, Chuixue had been killed - where were you last night?"

"It's in the cemetery. I'm a gravedigger and I live there at night."

"one person?"

"Yeah, because I have a passive skill that can reduce the hostility of dark creatures towards me, so - hehe."

Xia Yu deliberately showed a proud expression, and Xuanniao couldn't help but be speechless, "You are quite good at choosing, so don't be proud. Don't forget that civilian players are all in a group, and if they lose in the end, everyone will lose together, and you live in isolation. Wouldn’t his profession arouse suspicion among the villagers?”

Xia Yuxin said that he really wasn't afraid, we are weirdos, everything we do is normal.

However, a look of worry appeared on his face at the right time, "That's right. It seems that we have to discuss the tactics today, but we can't continue to be scattered like this, otherwise we will lose."

Xuanniao nodded noncommittally. Xia Yu could tell that Xuanniao had a suspicion about him, but it was probably not serious. At this time, the village chief and the judge had finished speaking, and the judge walked straight up to the podium. A solemn look on his face.

"Dear villagers, last night, another horrific tragedy occurred in the village. The shepherdess living in the farmhouse on the pasture was killed, and her blood was sucked dry. There is no doubt that this was definitely done by dark creatures. We It must be found as soon as possible!

Who was around when the tragedy happened yesterday? "

Feihu hesitated and raised his hand. When he came back from the forest last night, he happened to catch up with Xuanniao and a group of villagers coming to check, and they met directly. He couldn't hide even if he wanted to.

The judge said: "Hunter, you said you were nearby last night?"

"Yes," Feihu nodded, "Yesterday the shepherdess Chuixue said she was afraid of being intruded by dark creatures, so she hired me to help her look after the sheep. I was keeping watch outside at the time, and suddenly I heard a scream, so I went over to check. , I found a figure sneaking outside the farmhouse, so I shot an arrow at the man. The man ran into the forest, and I hurriedly chased him. When I came back, I found that the shepherdess was dead. .”

The judge nodded: "It seems that this person must be the murderer. Even if he is not, he must be an accomplice of the murderer - did you say you shot an arrow at that person and hit it?"

Feihu said, "I shot that man in the butt." The judge's eyes swept over the villagers one by one, "That's easy, just find the injured person."

The village chief said quickly: "Your Majesty the Judge is so wise."

Xia Yu noticed that Er Gouzi in the crowd looked pale, and quietly began to move back.

I couldn't help but feel great joy in my heart - your boy also has this day.

He patted Xuanniao and Bawang beside him, pointed at Ergouzi, and said in a deep voice: "That boy seems to have a problem."

Xuanniiao and Bawang understood each other, and the three of them blocked Ergouzi's path. Bawang said with a cruel smile: "Ergouzi, where are you going?"

"Overlord, please stay out of the way. I'm worried."

"I think you have a guilty conscience." After saying that, he suddenly slapped him on the butt.

He screamed in pain, and then immediately lowered his voice, "Holy shit, it's not me, I'm also the victim. Okay, I admit that the person outside the sheepfold is me, but I'm really not a dark creature. I went to Fuxue's place just to I just want to steal a sheep. If I were a dark creature, I wouldn’t be hurt so easily. Don’t be misled.”

Overlord was convinced after hearing this. At this time, other players also discovered the situation and came over one by one.

Black Cat: "What's going on?"

Gentleman: "What's going on?"

Dragon Rider: "What happened?"

Overlord said: "Er Gouzi said that person was him, but he is not a dark creature."

After everyone heard this, they started whispering to each other. Before everyone could judge the situation, the judge over there had already noticed the situation here, "You guys, what happened?"

Now I can't even let Ergouzi go.

The Overlord reacted very quickly, "Your Majesty Inquisitor, I suspect that Miner Ergouzi is that dark creature." After saying that, he kicked Ergouzi, and Ergouzi screamed again.

The villagers immediately gathered around him, and without any nonsense, they quickly pulled off Er Gouzi's pants, revealing a wound wrapped in cotton.

"Yes, this man has a wound on his butt."

"Oh my god, it turns out you are such a bastard!"

The villagers exclaimed.

Ergouzi rolled his eyes and shouted loudly, "My injury was accidentally bitten by a wolf while hunting yesterday." After that, he begged several players, "Brothers, I am really not a dark creature. I just want to steal Fubuki’s sacrifice.”

The leader also came over at this time, "How did you know that Fubuki had a sacrifice?"

"When I drew the professional card, I drew a shepherd, and I learned that there was a sacrifice called a pure white lamb."

The leader frowned, as if he felt that it was not very simple.

Xia Yu was hesitating about how to use more force to beat this guy to death. Suddenly there was a heavy breathing sound from behind him, and a terrifying pressure came from behind him. stood up.

He subconsciously turned to one side and saw the judge walking past him.

This person's strength is probably really terrifying, Xia Yu thought to himself.

Seeing the judge approaching, Ergouzi's voice also softened, "Master Judge, I am innocent. This wound on mine was really caused by a wolf bite."

The presiding judge tore off the cotton cloth and thrust his fingers into the wound, causing Ergouzi to scream in pain.

"There is only one wound, hum. You still want to deceive me with such a cheap lie. No evil can escape my eyes. If you are really innocent, then God will naturally clear your name. You guys, tie him up." stand up."

Feihu whispered: "Sorry, man, it's too late for you to say anything now."

Everyone went up together, tied up Ergouzi, and carried him directly to the pillar outside. Several villagers got lighted torches and prepared to start barbecue.

Ergouzi suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute, I know who the dark creature is, I want to provide evidence, I want to expose it!"

The presiding judge raised his hand to signal everyone to stop: "Tell me, who is the dark creature! If you can really tell the truth, maybe you can relieve your soul of some sins."

Ergouzi's eyes swept over everyone. He knew that this was his last chance to survive. Who would be the dark creature? Of course Ergouzi didn't know either, so he could only take a gamble at this time.

"The leader! The leader is the dark creature."

The leader snorted coldly after hearing this: "I stayed in the church last night, discussing theological issues with the Lord Inquisitor. Is this your answer? You really disappointed me, Ergouzi."

"That's right," the inquisitor nodded, "The priest and I have been discussing theological issues last night. There is no way the priest is a dark creature. You dare to make false accusations. It seems that you have no repentance at all and set fire to it!"

Several torches were thrown on the pyre, and the flames instantly caught fire.

Ergouzi was surrounded by flames and let out an extremely miserable scream, "Wo Cao Wo Cao, this hurts too much. Can you just give me a break? I'm going to die. I'm going to die! Why isn't Wo Cao dying?"

He howled for several minutes before being burned to death, which made Xia Yu break into a cold sweat. Although he wasn't really dead, it still looked like it was really fucking painful.

Everyone else was also frightened, fearing that it would be their turn next.

The villagers all cheered and screamed with excitement.

The judge watched expressionlessly as the flames burned Ergouzi to charcoal.

"Very good, we need to use the sacred flame to purify those evildoers. Today is just the beginning. Feihu, you have done a good job. Next, all villagers, please keep up your efforts. We will convene a meeting again tomorrow to see Will there be new discoveries?”

When the judges and villagers dispersed, the players stayed.

The leader looked at the charred corpse and thought for a long time, then suddenly frowned: "Oops, it seems Ergouzi is really not a dark creature."

Overlord said: "How to say?"

"If Ergouzi is a dark creature, he has been strengthened at least. Even if he can't transform during the day, he will have to struggle a few times. But from being caught to being burned to death, he feels like an ordinary person, and he doesn't care if he is about to die. It is obviously unlikely that he will be exposed. The most likely possibility is that he is actually a civilian, and maybe he really just stole sheep."

After everyone heard this, they were all stunned. It sounded quite reasonable.

Xuanniiao said solemnly: "Doesn't that mean that two civilians were killed in one day? Not a single dark creature died. That's not good."

Overlord: "Yes, yes, this is too bad."

Prodigal Son: "It's over, it's over, we're going to lose."

Gentleman: "It's a bad start, no, we have to think of a way."

Xia Yu: "Yes, we must find a way to get out of this unfavorable situation."

Everyone looked worried and hurried, but their eyes looked at each other, trying to find the dark creatures hidden among them.

But I have to say that everyone's acting skills were very good. After looking at each other for a long time, they couldn't see any flaws.
