Chapter 487 Entering Guxing Village
After Xiao Jin got out of the car, he squinted his eyes and looked at the woods in front of him.
This place is some distance away from the village, and the bus can't drive in, so players can only walk in.
Before Xiao Jin took a step forward to explore, her sight suddenly fixed on the two figures who had just stepped out of the car door - Sui Feng and Sui Ying?
It turned out to be these two siblings, what a coincidence!
On the bus, Xiao Jin sat near the middle of the car, so he didn't notice the two people behind him.
At this moment, Sui Feng and Sui Ying appeared, and waved excitedly when Xiao Jin saw them.
"Oh, nice to see you again." Sui Ying greeted with a smile.
Xiao Jin's eyes softened, he nodded, then looked to the side.
Next to Sui Ying and the other person, the one who was deliberately keeping a distance and looking indifferent was Yun Ye!
Wow, in this 12-person dungeon, at least half of them are familiar faces. And Xiao Jin also discovered that the people who came were not weak.
This is enough to show the difficulty of this game.
Yunye was still as "eccentric" as ever. His expression softened only for a moment when he saw Xiao Jin, and then he frowned and moved away from the players around him.
The main character is a misfit.
Meanwhile, Sui Ying's clear and sweet laughter instantly dispelled the dull atmosphere around them. She greeted Xiao Jin enthusiastically, revealing her caution about this mission.
"That's great, that's great. My brother and I were worried at first, but when I saw you, I knew it was safe this time."
Xiao Jin shook his head: "Don't flatter me, this instance is too unusual, even I don't have much confidence."
"Oh, look at this." Sui Feng interrupted, "I said you should change your mind and be more cautious."
Perhaps she was dissatisfied with her brother's preaching, Sui Ying pouted: "I know, I know, housekeeper..."
"Hey, you stinky girl."
The three of them sat in a circle and talked in low voices. The familiar laughter in their conversation attracted the attention of all the players present.
Wang Zixuan lowered her eyes to hide the thought in them.
Coincidentally, she knew the three players who came later.
Sui Ying and Sui Feng, brother and sister, are both very famous. They are also ranked among the top thousand in the battle power list, which makes them very powerful among players.
Of course, it’s still a little bit worse than my 37.
But what caught Wang Zixuan's special attention was actually Yun Ye who was silent in the distance.
This guy is a ruthless person. He once killed his way through an entire dungeon single-handedly, and almost all the foreign players in the dungeon were killed by him.
It is said that this person is a lone wolf and never teams up with others.
Yun Ye is also on the combat power list, and is ranked tenth. This is why Wang Zixuan is afraid of him.
Thinking of this, Wang Zixuan's face became terribly gloomy.
Although there was no evidence to prove that the quality of players was related to the difficulty of the dungeon, she still felt uneasy.
If she remembered correctly, the man with dreadlocks on the other side was called Ding En, and he was currently ranked 79th on the combat power list.
Four of them were in the top 100 of the battle power list, and one was in the top 10, not to mention the person he guessed in his heart. If he guessed correctly...
Now that the players are all present, the introduction session begins.
When it was Xiao Jin's turn, she opened her red lips and uttered the pseudonym "Wen Jin" with a calmness that had almost become a habit.
Those who knew her were a little surprised, but they all remained silent, knowing the truth but not saying anything.
Wang Zixuan deeply forgot about Xiao Jin, and did not easily overturn her guess.
"It looks like we'll have to walk the rest of the way on our own." The player who spoke sighed and looked at the bus that had already left.
Afterwards, the group set out on a path leading deep into the forest.
As I walked, the fallen leaves under my feet made a rustling sound, and occasionally the sound of birds could be heard in the distance.
After the players had been walking for about twenty minutes, the surrounding scenery gradually transitioned from the sparse forest edge to the dense forest, and the air became increasingly humid and cold.
Finally saw the target location.
Xiao Jin looked from afar and saw gray tiles, earthen walls, and wooden houses stacked in an orderly manner along the mountain. In the distance, smoke was curling up. It looked very peaceful and tranquil.
There is no horror at all!
Xiao Jin looked at the Sui siblings and thought to himself: This is even more weird, isn't it?
But then her attention was quickly attracted by the mottled stone tablet at the entrance of the village.
"Those who sacrifice live, those who rebel die."
Six large scarlet characters were deeply engraved on the dark blue stone surface, as if they had been traced over and over again with blood, emitting an eerie luster in the setting sun.
"This is?"
The others also noticed the ancient and weathered stone tablet standing in front of them, and couldn't help but slow down their pace and slowly approached.
The surface of the stone tablet is covered with mottled moss and traces of time. Although the words have been eroded by wind and rain, they are still clearly visible.
Around the stone tablet, there are several old trees with intertwined roots and branches swaying gently in the wind, like ghostly shadows, adding a bit of eeriness.
"What do you mean?"
Feng Hao squatted in front of the stone tablet, his hand rubbing his chin: "The one who offers sacrifices lives... Does this mean that only the one who offers sacrifices can survive?"
"No." Sui Ying shook her head: "Perhaps after the sacrifice, the dead can come back to life."
"Uh..." Feng Hao blinked.
After hearing her words, the other players shuddered inexplicably and felt the temperature drop.
"Then how do you explain the phrase 'traitors must die'?" someone asked.
On the surface, it is easy to understand, it just means that the person who betrays will definitely die, but what exactly is this "betrayal"?
Everyone talked to each other with a serious tone.
Just at this moment, a sudden series of footsteps interrupted everyone's discussion.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, guests from the city! You must have been waiting impatiently!"
The players stopped talking for a moment, then looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw an old man in a navy blue double-breasted shirt walking towards me quickly, with a smile on his wrinkled face.
He is the village chief, and his surname is Huang. He received a call from the travel agency and came specifically to pick up this group of tourists.
Xiao Jin and the others already knew the identities and backgrounds of this event. The players all came as tourists who were sightseeing and participating in the "sacrifice" in Guxing Village.
Therefore, he spoke to the village chief with a normal expression.
It’s true, after so many survival games, the players’ acting skills are no longer as stiff as they were at the beginning.
"It's the village chief. Hello, thank you for coming to pick us up!" Wang Zixuan showed a kind smile very skillfully.
"No trouble, no trouble. Then let's go into the village first?"
As they spoke, everyone followed Village Chief Huang and entered the village gate one after another.
Along the way, Village Chief Huang was talking to the players.
But as he spoke, his eyes kept scanning everyone's face, and an indescribable light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"Although our village is a little off the beaten track, the scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh. I guarantee you'll have a great time!"
He thought he was hiding well, but the players were all smart. After seeing him, they pretended to know nothing, but silently remembered the village chief in their hearts.
This is an important NPC, and he must know a lot of clues.
At this moment, Xiao Jin calmly took a half step back, avoiding the village chief's hand that was trying to pat her shoulder.
She noticed that as the players entered, other villagers also gathered around in twos and threes, including old women with crutches, women holding children, and a few strong young men.
They were all laughing.
The curve of the mouth was almost exactly the same, but there was no smile in the eyes.
If you ignore all the anomalies, this is indeed a tourist attraction with 'simple folk customs' and 'hospitable people'!
At the same time, a prompt sound came to the ears of all players.
[Ding——The system reminds all players that your exclusive live broadcast room has been opened. Come and say hello to the audience in front of the live broadcast room! ]
[Ding! The live broadcast room is connected]
【Current number of viewers: 327】
Before Xiao Jin could react, she received the news that the live broadcast had started. At the same time, she also found that hundreds of people instantly poured into the live broadcast room on her player panel.
She couldn't help but lower her eyes.
Due to some special reasons, players cannot interact with the audience, and naturally cannot see the barrage.
Therefore, Xiao Jin didn't know that the audience in her live broadcast room was very lively at the moment, and the comments were updated very quickly.
【Comment 1: Wow, this village has the hell filter turned up to the max, right?】
【Bullet screen 2: Look, the host is so pretty! Lick, lick, lick, give me a tip! 】
[Bullet screen 3: Really, I have been to several live broadcast rooms, but the Redemption anchor touched me the most, I love him so much. ]
[Barrage 4: Huh? Isn't this a survival game? When did it become a beauty pageant? Why do you have to debut as a host? ]
[Bullet screen 5: Bah! If you don’t want to watch, get out. The person upstairs must be ugly. It’s confirmed that he is jealous! ]
【Bullet screen 6: Fuck, your mother%&……*&()*】
Of course Xiao Jin couldn't see the barrage of comments passing by.
After a brief moment of contemplation, all the players came back to their senses.
Live streaming will certainly have an impact, but their main goal is to return alive, so let's take it one step at a time!
"Come on, everyone, go to the guesthouse and settle down first!" The village chief enthusiastically led the way: "Dinner is ready, all game from the mountains, very fresh!
You must taste it carefully later!"
The twelve players followed the village chief silently through the village.
On both sides of the stone road, the villagers' eyes followed him like a shadow. Some people were talking in low voices, but the voices were very low. Obviously, the player's five senses were no longer like those of normal people, but if he concentrated, he could still hear something vaguely.
There seem to be words like "sacrifice", "foreigner", and "choice".
As they were talking, there seemed to be a conflict between these people, and a physical collision occurred.
The players were stunned.
Sui Feng: "This?" He looked at the village chief.
The village chief's eyes were somewhat terrifying. The villagers seemed to notice this and quickly shut their mouths and dispersed.
Seeing people leave, the village chief's expression changed instantly.
"Haha, it's okay. Villagers are usually very idle, and there will always be some quarrels when they are arguing. It's nothing, nothing..."
Sui Feng: “Is that so!”
At this moment, a little girl with pigtails suddenly rushed out of the alley and almost bumped into Xiao Jin's legs.
She was holding a dirty rag doll in her arms. When she looked up, Xiao Jin discovered that the doll had no eyes, and there were two black lines in the empty eye sockets.
"Brother." The little girl grinned, revealing her uneven baby teeth: "Do you want to be a sacrifice?"
The air solidified instantly.
Many players looked at Xiao Jin with pity.
This person is really unlucky, he was targeted by the NPC as soon as he came in. But it's also good, at least they are safe for the time being.
All players knew the consequences of being noticed by NPCs, and they thought Xiao Jin was dead.
Sui Ying frowned and said in a bad tone: "Hey, kid, what are you talking about?"
The village chief nearby grabbed the little girl and said to the players with a dry laugh, "What nonsense is this, little kid! Please don't mind it, guests!
This way, walk another fifty meters and you will reach the guesthouse, which is a three-story building. "
After pointing the way, the village chief said, "I'll be back after I send the child back. Thank you for waiting at the door for a while." After that, he hurriedly dragged the girl away.
Before leaving, the little girl's innocent voice came from the back: "Is it really not possible? My Sakura likes her eyes very much..."
In Xiao Jin's direction, she could easily look into the eyes of the doll on the little girl's shoulder. It seemed that at some point, Xiao Jin saw the doll smile.
"Hiss~" In the quiet space, no one knew who took a breath first.
Wang Zixuan secretly glanced at Xiao Jin's eyes. Her gray-brown pupils were like glass, and the black in the center added a hint of coldness to them.
Beautiful indeed.
If the other party was not difficult to deal with, I would really be happy to use some special means to have some fun in the game.
pity……
“Ahem!” Shao Siyuan coughed a few times, then said, “Wen Jin, don’t take it too seriously, maybe it’s just a kid’s joke.
Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you."
Xiao Jin looked back and nodded: "Thank you, but it's okay, I will be careful."
Sui Feng also touched his head and laughed a few times: "It's okay, even if there is a problem, we are not afraid, let it go without return."
Xiao Jin said nothing, with a cold smile on his face.
........................
The so-called guesthouse was a three-story wooden building whose exterior wall paint had long since peeled off, revealing moldy wooden boards.
Pushing open the creaking door, dust flew in the sunlight like countless tiny insects.
"The second and third floors are guest rooms, you can choose your own." The village chief, who had just sent the children home, handed over a bunch of rusty keys: "Dinner starts at six o'clock, don't be late!"
There was a subtle emphasis on his tone when he said, "Don't be late."
Watching the village chief leave, Xiao Jin's eyes swept across the few drops of blood on his cuffs, and then he looked away after a moment.
There are 12 players in total, there are exactly 12 rooms, and there are 6 rooms on each floor.
Xiao Jin didn't have any requirements on where to live, so she just randomly chose the remaining room at the end of the third floor. It was also a coincidence that the room opposite her was Yun Ye's, and the room next to her was Shao Siyuan's.
As for Sui Ying and her brother, they lived on the second floor.
When I opened the door, the musty smell hit me. There was a hard bed, a paint-chipped wardrobe, the glass on the window was a little yellow, and there were even cobwebs in the corners.
Xiao Jin: Tsk... it's really shabby! It's been a long time since she lived in such a poor place.
Well, what good room can there be in a mountain village? It’s good enough to have a place to live.
