Chapter 358: Yinshan Village

Mu Sicheng swallowed down the words "this is fucking okay", took a deep breath and changed the topic: "What's next? That zombie Taoist won't hurt us all the way?"

Bai Liu shook his head, "From the information on the mural, this zombie Taoist will go berserk at a later stage and not only kill outsiders but also refine the people in the village, I think it will hurt us too."

"What then?" Mu Sicheng frowned, "Do you know when this zombie Taoist will probably go berserk?"

Bai Liu pondered, "It should be when the old men in the temple have their first seven days, that's when the Yin Qi is the heaviest."

Mu Sicheng paused, "Isn't that not a few days away?"

"Right." Bai Liu nods, and steps outside, "From the information we've gotten so far, and Kong Xuyang Yang Zhi's reaction, we should be in some sort of competitive game, playing some sort of role, and in keeping with the role-playing the first to clear the level, or the first to kill the opponent, wins."

Bai Liu cast a downward glance at the footprints on the ground left behind by Yang Zhi and Kong Xuyang as they scurried away, "And if I'm not mistaken, they've already played this game once, and their familiarity with this tomb doesn't look like it's their first time here."

"Fuck, bitch." Mu Sicheng clenched his fists and looked hostile, "I'm most annoyed with this kind of people who've cleared the game taking cheats and abusing them."

"But the next part should be a game plot that is unfamiliar to them as well." Bai Liu looks up, smiling, "I like a fair game, so now we're on the same page again."

Mu Sicheng wondered, "Didn't they play? How can they be strangers?"

Bai Liu smiled, "The game also has different subplots that lead to different end, from the fact that they are so afraid of the Taoist zombies, and intentionally avoided the zombie Taoist in the tomb, they should not have gone through this subplot last time, or else they wouldn't have not known the way to deal with the zombie Taoist."

"Simply put, they should have taken a [NORMAL END] line last time."

Bai Liu sidled his head, his smile affable, "But I chose the [TRUE END] line this time, and for this branch line, both they and we are in a state of information blank, so we'll see what we can do next."

After saying that, Bai Liu turned back and continued to walk outside with no difference in his expression.

Mu Sicheng paused for a moment, he opened his mouth to ask something, but in the end he didn't, and followed Bai Liu forward in silence.

...... If at first triggering this so-called [true end] line is Bai Liu's purpose, then from the time they entered the tomb, encountered the ghost trap inadvertently separated, so that Mu Sicheng alone across the Ghost Bridge, the soul and spirit separated and trapped, and more than thirty brides to get married, go back to save Mu Sicheng's body, in the middle of the way Bai Liu also almost died in the ghost bridge there ......

In each of these cases, each of their seemingly accidental, or rather, trap links set up by Kong Xuyang, coincidentally allowed them to escape in the next link, and seemingly intentionally or unintentionally allowed Bai Liu to benefit from it.

Because Bai Liu sacrificed his life to save Mu Sicheng, Mu Sicheng now doesn't drop dead to Bai Liu, because Mu Sicheng and his bride got married, they happened to escape the Taoist Zombie, because of the Yin Qi gathered by the trap set by Kong Xuyang at the doorway, Bai Liu was able to successfully awaken the Taoist Zombie... ...

...... It seems ...... that from the very beginning, every person and thing in this has long been arranged by Bai Liu.

He was just a puppet on strings under Bai Liu's hand, following a path that Bai Liu had already written and found interesting.

Being used in ignorance, giving everything and still feeling grateful.

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu's slender back as he held the candlestick and walked forward, and the light smile that seemed to be absent on Bai Liu's side face, his spine was a little cold.

Bai Liu turned his head and he cast an inquiring look, no defense in his gaze, "What's wrong?"

Mu Sicheng noticed the two sharp teeth on Bai Liu's lips, the cold air in his heart let out, his look and tone softened again, and he scratched his head a bit awkwardly, "...... It's nothing to ask if it doesn't affect you after you gave me so much anger? "

Bai Liu smiled casually, "It's okay, it will recover slowly, don't worry about me." '

Seeing Bai Liu talking to himself without any grudge, Mu Sicheng was relieved and felt guilty at the same time.

It's his conspiracy theories and malicious speculations about Bai Liu.

How can the kind of person who budgets for everything and coldly exploits it to the extreme be the Bai Liu who has made himself pale and haggard to save him now?

Bai Liu held up the candlestick, the orange firelight hitting the side of his face, reflecting the warmth and kindness of his smile, but there was no emotion at all in his eyes, "We're teammates, it's only right that we help each other out."

Mu Sicheng nodded rightfully, "That's natural."

The other end.

Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi, with several pseudo-body talismans on their bodies, hid in the shade of the bushes, not daring to utter a word as they looked far away from the Taoist zombies that were guarding the entrance of the Yinshan Village in the night and did not move a muscle.

This Taoist zombie figure tall, the night hit the eye like two meters, wearing a yellow bottom black coat robe, head wearing a yellow crown of gold and jade, foot thick-soled black and white cloud boots, back a long mahogany sword, surrounded by an unknown blood red halo.

Its fangs were long to its cheeks and covered with rusty blood stains, its nose and eyes and forehead were black and purple, a low rumbling sound came out of its throat from time to time, and the nails of its flat hands moved slightly, like a warning beast.

"Brother Kong." Yang Zhi Cold sweat dripped, his voice extremely slight, "...... Is there anything in that Maoshan Taoist book of yours that can control it?"

Kong Xuyang's incompetent rage: "I'd still be hiding here with you if I had a fucking way!"

Yang Zhi's legs weakened to the point of half-kneeling on the ground, "But it's a zombie at least! There's always a way to stop it or slow down its attack in the decent arts, right?"

"There are indeed quite a few spells in this book of mine that can restrain zombies." Kong Xuyang looked somber, "But none of them work on this thing, because not only is it a zombie transformed into a Taoist with profound Taoist skills, it is able to unlock magic spells on its own."

"And this thing has a blessed golden light on it, meaning that he did many good deeds in his life, and there are many people who are grateful to him, praying to the heavens to let him be free from calamities and retain his sanity even after his death, so it can be said that it is a heavenly blessed ghost, and that decent magic spells are ineffective against it."

"No!" Yang Zhi was dumbfounded, he pointed at the zombie, "Brother Kong, you and I both know that this thing was made by a Taoist man for immortality."

"This Taoist cheated and blood-sacrificed hundreds of men, women, and children from the entire village of Yinshan Village, and practiced himself with evil arts to become such an ageless and immortal monster who still has his sanity, such a great sin, how could he have a blessed golden light on his body?!"

"I am also strange." Kong Xuyang looked depressed, "In order to refine the zombie during his lifetime, this Taoist used the red and white demons of the living to bury himself, forced his unmarried daughter to die on the way to her wedding, and forced an old man to drown in a weir and be buried with him, before he refined such a vicious and murderous zombie."

"Right." Yang Zhi nodded frantically, "This zombie has subsequently also been sucking the anger of the descendants of the Yin Mountain Village, and has caused quite a few more killings, leading to the death of even the descendants of such a village, while it itself finally consummated its yin qi a hundred years later, and was able to fully recover and come out of the world."

"Zombies suck blood to be born, and we have the blood of the descendants of the Yinshan Village, this daoist zombie has been fed by the anger of the descendants of the Yinshan Village for so many years, and will automatically seek out people with a similar scent ......"

Yang Zhi winced and muttered his recollections, "...... On the first seven nights of the last game, I just felt something rushing out of the catacombs, and the blood vessels of the player next to me were bitten and burst and sucked dry, and the whole person was turned into a human stem in ten seconds or so, and if it wasn't for us running fast ......"

Kong Xuyang interrupted Yang Zhi with an ugly expression, "Stop it."

For a moment, both people were silent, and in the bushes, only the chirping of cicadas, crickets, the low growl from the zombie's throat, and Yang Zhi Kong Xuyang's coarse, taut, and suppressed gasps could be heard.

Sweat dripped from their jaws in drops.

"Shit." Kong Xuyang gritted his teeth and cursed, "I've played so many games, but I've never seen such an evil monster!"

"It kills players without a forward swing or a big move or a selection condition, it's basically immune to all skill attacks and moves, and its attack and defense values are all ridiculously high." Yang Zhi shook his head and tearfully added, "As soon as it's released it's impossible to have time to find its weaknesses, it just dies."

"It's a good thing it's not at the point in time where it goes completely berserk." Kong Xuyang barely composed himself, "We just need to get through before then, we got through it once, not a hard task ......"

Yang Zhi carefully stared at the zombie: "But Brother Kong, it was released, we can not walk the last pass [normal end] path, forced to go [normal end] our middle chase battle will be bitten to death ...... "

"We can only take the [TRUE END] path related to deciphering this zombie's background." Yang Zhi smiled bitterly, "First we have to find this zombie's weakness to control it."

"But it's a path we haven't traveled and it's dangerous, it's not as good as Bai Liu who has already explored the tomb and somehow hasn't been attacked by this zombie yet they have the advantage ......"

Kong Xuyang was still for two seconds, his face turned purple and red with anger, and he wanted to kick the tree in front of him to vent his anger, but just as he was about to move his foot, the zombie moved and turned to Kong Xuyang's side.

Kong Xuyang scared immediately shrunk into a ball, did not dare to move, after a while, to determine that the human zombie no longer look at this side before stifling the whispered curse: "...... bitch white ...... "

His last "Liu" word has not yet cursed out, the zombie immediately turned over, cross-eyed, showing teeth and low roar, lifting his body to jump to this side.

Kong Xuyang was so scared and angry that under the confusion of his mind, he changed his words incoherently: "Bai Liu is not a slut, I am a slut, I am a slut, okay!"

Hearing this, the zombie nodded his head in satisfaction and turned his head over to guard the village again, his eyes lax and lightless, seemingly reverting back to a godless state, not caring about Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi outside the village.

Yang Zhi: "......"

Kong Xuyang: "......"

Kong Xuyang's eyes were red with anger and he gritted his teeth, "Damn it, why is a zombie all toward Bai Liu!"
