"Wasn't she still behind you just now?" Zhao Zichao swallowed and did not dare to look back. "She couldn't have been dragged away..."
"Tsk, you were still here a minute ago." Lin Xi used a flashlight to shine on the dilapidated village gate in front of her. Although it was indeed strange that the wind kept disappearing, she still acted very calmly, "I think your guess
It’s probably established.”
"Damn, I won't play anymore if the cabinet is moved... Isn't this too scary?" Zhao Zichao was shocked when he heard this. He felt cold all over. He stiffened his neck and looked back. The endless desolation and darkness were endless in the village.
It stretched, as if it wanted to swallow him whole.
"Calm down," Jian Yan yawned without any psychological pressure and analyzed calmly, "According to the settings of ordinary horror movies, the first ones who can't bear the mental pressure will definitely die first, so don't be afraid of this normal plot.
Relax as much as possible.
"Second, according to what was said in cg, the villagers can see the mansion and hear strange sounds in the house. But the village is surrounded by trees and is very quiet, so the ancient house cannot be in the woods.
Then there is only one possibility left," Jian Yi paused: "This ancient house is in the village."
"So we still have to go into the village..." Zhao Zichao, who is usually very timid, became more and more frightened. "When you listen to this sound, it feels like a wolf howling..."
"Then you stay here alone?" Lin Xi turned on the flashlight, "The wind disappeared inexplicably and took away a flashlight. If you continue to wait until the torch goes out, why don't you give the flashlight to Master?"
"Forget it, let's go into the village..." After some ideological struggle, Zhao Zichao overcame his fear. After all, staying alone at the entrance of the village where the wind blows is the real terror.
Based on his understanding of simplicity, there will basically be no big problems if he follows along.
"Don't wander around when you get in later, and don't be more than one meter away from the torch," Jian Yan asked the two to turn off the flashlights, "Don't look around on the way in, who knows if there will be any trouble in this kind of supernatural script.
"
Jian Yi led the charge with a torch, while Lin Xi and Zhao Zichao followed closely behind him. They held on to the corners of his clothes tightly, not daring to relax at all.
As they expected, the scene in the village was very dilapidated. They were all bungalows in the style of the 1970s and 1980s. They were lined up on both sides of the dirt road. The old wooden doors with paintings of door gods were facing the direction of the road. It looked like these
The house also has a backyard, but it is blocked by the bungalow and cannot be seen clearly.
Further ahead is a long road paved with blue bricks. It was most likely newly built in the village back then, but now it can be considered an old road for decades, and moss can still be seen faintly in the damp brick joints.
"The local climate is so dry, the surrounding woods are dense, and moss can grow in the cracks of the bricks," Jian Yan said to himself, "I don't believe it without some yin energy."
"To be honest, the old locust tree over there makes me feel scared," Zhao Zichao said casually for no reason, "Fortunately, a master made a torch, otherwise..."
"Bah..."
Before she finished speaking, the light from the torch suddenly dimmed, and then only sparks were left burning at a rapid speed. Just as Jian Jian was about to continue pouring olive oil, it went out for no reason.
The whole process took less than three seconds, and he didn't even have time to react to what happened. Their most reliable lighting equipment lost its use value.
Zhao Zichao didn't realize what was going on at all, and was stunned on the spot at a loss.
"Why are you so evil today?" He couldn't help himself. "Is this the system deliberately targeting us? There was a bolt from the blue in front of us, and there was a constant wind behind us and we disappeared inexplicably..."
This time Lin Xi did not refute him. She frowned and said nothing, and also realized that something was wrong.
"I see..." Jian Yi did not blame Zhao Zichao. He suddenly laughed, "This is a setting."
"Don't laugh now, Master! It's very scary!"
Without the torch, Zhao Zichao could only take out a flashlight for lighting. He carefully looked around at the situation and continued to ask in a low voice: "By the way, can deceiving people be considered a setting?"
"That's more or less what it means," Jian Yan checked his taskbar, "Because it's been more than half an hour since the task was released, I almost forgot about the side task."
[Main mission: Find the lost mansion, the main mission will be updated at that time. 】
[Side mission: Please explore the extraordinary things about Qianluo Mountain.]
"We have always focused on the main missions, so we haven't paid much attention to the side missions..." Lin Xi nodded, "But the main reason is because the description of the side missions is too vague."
"That's what I want to say," Jian Yi continued, playing with the extinguished torch in his hand, "blurring the side tasks has two functions, one is to distract attention, and the other is to hide the truth behind the side tasks."
"As Zhao Zichao said, it's normal for a crow's mouth to happen once. It's bad luck twice. It can't be a coincidence three or four times," he continued. "The reason can only be - it's part of the script.
set up."
"But this is obviously off topic, right?" Zhao Zichao obviously didn't believe it, "Master, it's not that I don't believe you, but what does the crow's mouth have to do with the script?"
"It does matter, a lot." Jian Yi replied, "From the strange beasts at the foot of the mountain and the graffiti in the village, we can see that the villagers of Qianluo Mountain have crazy worship of ghosts and gods, especially in that era, superstition
That’s the mainstream.”
He continued: "These supernatural beings such as mountain gods and ghosts can affect the real world in some way, such as making wishes. If you interpret the crow's mouth just now as your wish, then the following things... do they count?
Did the gods grant your wish?"
Lin Xi seemed to understand what he meant: "You mean... existences like mountain gods can affect reality through us satisfying our wishes? This is not considered coercion, but it can also achieve his purpose."
"Yes, if it is a god, he naturally has the power to fulfill human wishes. He only needs to slightly misinterpret your meaning, and then what you don't want to happen will become a reality."
Jian Yi looked at Zhao Zichao who seemed to understand, and summed up succinctly: "In short, g, because once your words are spoken, they may become reality."
[The side mission has been completed, the player is at ease and has obtained 50 order points.]
"You're really right..." Zhao Zichao listened to his summary, and no matter how stupid he was, he understood the whole story of the accidents just now, "So the torch was really extinguished because of what I said?"
"That's the theory," Jian Yi sighed, "Now we only have two light sources left. Also, stop talking nonsense."
Relying on the weak light of flashlights, several people continued to march on the eerie blue brick road.
A hand was placed on Zhao Zichao's shoulder, quietly.
