Facing several militiamen who displayed their weapons, Ning Feng's perfect smile paused for a moment.
What are you doing?
Didn’t I already say that I am a good person?
Why are you still pointing a knife at me?
Should good people be held at knifepoint?
security guard!
Where is the security guard!?
Oh, yes, these militiamen are security guards...
"Well...I'm such a good person."
The militia captain was not nervous at first, but when he heard this, he became nervous on the spot!
How can anyone claim to be a good person?
Although this man looks young and has a handsome and clean face, he does not look like he belongs here. He does not seem to be any threat.
But the direction and time of his appearance are really weird!
The sun is about to set, and it will soon be night.
But he walked out of the shadow forest full of wild beasts, and the clothes on his upper body were stained with blood...
And after careful observation, you can find that there are no scars on his body, and there are no other stains on his clothes except for a few blood stains.
The opponent had no weapons, but the militia captain felt very uneasy.
Weird!
It’s so damn weird!
The militia captain clenched the iron sword in his hand, swallowed slowly, and said in a deep voice:
"Foreigners, leave here, you are not welcome in this village."
The iron sword in his hand was the best sword in the village, but it couldn't bring him much sense of security.
This is not a decision based on any basis, it is just the intuition of an old hunter.
Unlike the previous foreigners, this man is different, he is very dangerous!
Don't offend him!
We can't let him enter the village!
Ning Feng, on the other hand, felt helpless after being so nervously guarded and shook his head.
Oops, I was given an eviction order.
The scene in front of him made Ning Feng, who was quite charming about himself, somewhat sad.
"It's really strange. How could it unfold like this?"
"Well, the wrong person must have come."
"If the militia captain were replaced by a female, there would definitely be no problem."
It was obvious that the militiamen were not wary of my handsome appearance, so they happily welcomed me into the village and served me delicious food and drinks.
Or be bold and write a more clichéd development, where the evil militiamen are taking advantage of me who seems to be powerless and looks like a noble in distress...
What's even more outrageous is that even if he wants to arrest me and do something inappropriate for children... it's not incomprehensible.
But why are you so afraid now.
You guys are like this...
All my preparations were in vain, right?
Wouldn’t the simple wolf fang dagger I had worked so hard to hide become useless?
Ning Feng bent towards the opposite side and said sincerely:
"Can we discuss this further? My companions and I were separated after being attacked by wild beasts, and I am looking for them."
"It's going to be night soon. I will stay here for one night and will leave tomorrow morning. Of course, I will also provide corresponding compensation."
The militia captain hesitated, but finally chose to stick to his idea.
"...No, please leave quickly!"
As he spoke, he raised the iron sword in his hand a little higher, ready to take action at any time.
Can't be fooled by him!
The militia captain thought so, but the other militiamen didn't think so much. Among them, the tall and thin militiaman said strangely:
"Captain, is it really necessary? I don't think he is a bad person... cough! cough cough."
Boom!
He hit the tall and thin militiaman hard on the chest with the hilt of his sword, and the militia captain glared at him angrily.
idiot!
Do you still need to tell me if he is a bad person?
"George, are you an idiot?"
Before the militia captain could speak, another short, fat militiaman said in a sinister tone:
"What kind of good guy do you want to be? Haven't we been hurt badly enough by you before?"
"If you ask me, why is it so troublesome? If you are worried, wouldn't it be better to take it directly to the pastor? The pastor will understand everything!"
Priest?
After hearing this word, Ning Feng narrowed his eyes.
Will there be a priest here?
There are no gods in today's human society, and the priests who herded believers for the gods have also disappeared in past history.
And the priest he met last time did not leave a good impression on him...
So what will the pastor here be like?
"idiot!"
After hearing this, the militia captain's spine went cold. He shouted at the short, fat militiaman who wanted to give him a hard slap in the same way:
"Shut up! Jack you idiot!"
Just let him leave peacefully! You two losers!
Kankan dodged the attack, and Fat Jack's beard trembled angrily:
"Old John! You are just the captain because of your age. Don't think you are really my boss!"
"You are already very old, your seat will definitely be mine from now on! Be careful if I cause trouble for you then!"
Shocked by Jack's speech, Captain John was speechless for a while.
As the man at the center of the argument between the three, Ning Feng was enjoying the farce happily.
"Oh, it's so refreshing. I can actually see such a statement in person saying that I will seize power and take revenge in the future. This is really..."
Brainless?
Uh, no, it's too insulting to say that.
This is really simply cute.
The argument had no end, and just when Ning Feng was about to take the initiative to speak, Jack finally made a new move.
"What are you afraid of? He is alone! He doesn't even have a weapon, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
He pushed Old John away with great force, then walked straight towards Ning Feng, and roughly stretched out his short hand...
"Huh! I'll do it myself!"
Snapped.
The palm of the pudgy militiaman was directly caught the second before it touched Ning Feng, and then was pulled with a strong force!
Click.
The sound of bones being dislocated came from the palm of his hand. Jack had no time to pull out his hand and let out a howl like a slaughtering pig:
"Ahhh!"
Boom!
The world was spinning for a while, and before he could realize what had happened, he felt himself turned around, and his arms were pinned behind his back as if they were clamped by iron clamps.
"Ah! Let me go! You despicable foreigner! You...ah!"
The curse stopped abruptly before he could even leave his mouth, and Jack's body became stiff.
The hand ax from his waist was pulled out, and it was pressed against his throat with a cold light, and his throat would be slit in the next moment.
"Did you misunderstand something?"
A somewhat troubled gentle voice sounded from behind, causing Jack's body to begin to tremble uncontrollably.
Ning Feng lowered his head and spoke to Jack gently. Then he looked at the serious militia duo and tilted his head strangely:
"Although I say that I am a good person, I never seem to say that I am weak, right?"
"I have been discussing with you very kindly, right?"
Easily subduing the trained militiamen, Ning Feng was clearly smiling, but it did give the two militiamen who were holding onto their weapons a strong sense of oppression.
"Let me introduce myself again. I am a passer-by, a... good person with enough power to protect myself."
After saying that, Ning Feng took away the hand ax and pushed the squat militiaman directly to the opposite side.
The hand ax was thrown up and down easily in his hand, and Ning Feng threw it out with all his strength at the moment Fat Jack fell forward!
"Jack! You still...be careful!"
brush!
The hand ax rotated rapidly, and finally hit hard between Jack's legs, almost breaking his leather armor.
His face turned pale, and Fat Jack was extremely frightened after seeing what happened, and crawled forward in a hurry.
"It seems that I thought about something wrong."
Dealing with such uncivilized guys is no different from dealing with wild animals. You can't just show your kindness.
Don't be stingy when it's time to show your strength.
They will be afraid...and what Ning Feng needs, fear is enough.
Slowly walking up to the militia captain who was supporting Jack, Ning Feng changed his previous gentle attitude and spoke coldly:
"Now, can you please take me to see your leader? Thank you."
Raising his head in silence, Old John looked at the stranger who had taken off his disguise, and after a long time he said with difficulty:
"……follow me."
The coldness on his face faded, Ning Feng put on a smiling expression again, and said gratefully:
"Thank you very much."
…
Walking slowly and slowly down the muddy road in the village, Ning Feng walked easily among the three militiamen, not even glancing at the surrounding houses.
The village seemed deserted, and there seemed to be no villagers on the road, but Ning Feng knew that this was just an appearance.
Their previous conflicts had alerted other people, and these villagers were just hiding.
Through the cracks in the door and windows of the house, curious and surprised eyes shot out from different angles as they observed this outsider.
Why so shy?
Are you worried about what I will do?
Being idle was boring anyway, so Ning Feng began to actively enrich his settings and said in a casual manner:
"I'm looking for my companions. If you have any clues, I hope you can let me know."
"Our team was besieged by giant wolves. Although we killed a few, we were forced to disperse in the end."
His steps slowed down, and John, who was walking in front, turned back suspiciously and looked at Ning Feng.
...giant wolf?
Jack was more direct and immediately expressed his disbelief.
"Kill the giant wolf!? Are you kidding... eh!?"
But when he was glanced at by Ning Feng's half-smiling eyes, the fat on Jack's face shook, cracked open and he closed his mouth angrily.
After thinking about it, Ning Feng naturally took out a huge fang from his arms and threw it directly into John's hand.
"It's okay if you don't believe it. In this case, I will give this to the pastor as a gift. I think this should prove what I said."
The palms of his hands sank, and John looked at the gums that had not yet dried up in the fangs, his eyes trembled, and then he suppressed his shock and asked:
"...who are your companions?"
"There are men and women, but not all of them are warriors like me."
Ning Feng didn't know if other contestants would come to this town early, but there wouldn't be any problem anyway.
The road after that was silent. Finally, the other two militiamen seemed to have stopped outside because they were not qualified to approach the central area. Only John walked in with Ning Feng.
After walking for about ten minutes, just when the sky was about to get completely dark, the two of them finally came to a strange house.
Ning Feng was asked to wait at the door while John walked in alone to report.
Strangely, the pastor's room was darker than the current sky, and there seemed to be no light source inside.
Weird.
But before Ning Feng could take a closer look at his surroundings, John walked out quickly after entering shortly:
"The pastor is preparing for prayer and cannot see you today."
Closed door?
John said seriously to Ning Feng with a straight face:
"But the pastor is kind. He asked me to arrange a guest room for you to rest in. You can rest there tonight."
After blinking, Ning Feng took a deep look at the room where John seemed to have some secret hidden behind him.
Suddenly, Ning Feng smiled and nodded without any reluctance.
"That's enough."
Yes, that's enough.
What secrets there are here have nothing to do with me.
"Please thank the Reverend for me."
His face became better, and John took Ning Feng to a small house not far away.
"The priest is willing to believe you, but I will always keep an eye on you!"
Even though the priest said not to worry about it, the militia captain still believed in his instincts.
"A big shot like you who lives in the city may not know this, so I'll give you a piece of advice... don't go out at night!"
Through the crack in the door, the militia captain said coldly:
"If you go out at night, bad things will happen."
"If you don't want to die, just stay at home."
Bang.
The door was tightly closed, leaving Ning Feng alone in a room lit by a kerosene lamp, deep in thought.
"Bad things happen at night, listen to this..."
"It's really like a clue to the mission."
It was very novel. He was obviously competing in real life, but it gave him the feeling that he was playing an RPG game.
"However, my conversations with them did not feel like programmed robots, nor did they feel like well-trained staff..."
"They seem to be really living in this world..."
The Truman Show? Or Utopia?
"But let's do this for now. There are too few clues at hand, so I won't get involved with them yet..."
"I'll try to find my [companion] tomorrow. I should be able to get some new information."
Curiosity killed the cat, and since Ning Feng is not a cat, his curiosity is not that strong.
I have clearly told you that there will be danger at night, but you still have to take the initiative to go out and take a trip into this muddy water...
Isn't that a disease?
Ning Feng felt that he was very healthy and would not do such an irrational thing.
call.
I gently blew out the wick, and the whole room dimmed instantly, with a faint silvery moonlight pouring in from the open window.
He didn't want to go out and wash up. Ning Feng, who had been traveling all day, didn't even go to bed, so he sat on a stool and closed his eyes.
There is not much security here, and you still need to be vigilant and subtle.
"Let's rest for a while first..."
One of the canine fangs of the giant wolf was handed over, and the other one was hidden by Ning Feng and is now in his hand.
And just when Ning Feng slowly sank his spirit and immediately entered a state of meditation...
[Attention all contestants!]
Opening his eyes suddenly, Ning Feng took out the fangs hidden in his arms and looked around cautiously.
Where did that sound come from just now?
...from the bottom of my heart?
The emotionless voice continued regardless of his nervousness:
【A total of 965 contestants successfully entered the first night!】
[Congratulations everyone! You have been able to win the first stage prizes!]
[Now, the "Star Chaser" competition officially begins! 】
The voice that sounded in the bottom of my heart gradually changed its tone, becoming distant and deep, as if telling an ancient story:
【Night brings changes.】
【Under the red moon, everything will return to its original state.】
Watching the moonlight shining in from the window stained with blood, Ning Feng's dark eyes gradually became brighter in the dark room.
