Chapter 36: The Suppressed God
After the crisis was resolved, the four people lay in the yard, leaning against each other, and the night returned to silence.
Without the butcher, Room 4 couldn’t be safer.
Meng Yunqi couldn't bear to be covered in blood.
I went back to the room and changed my clothes first.
Wei Jie, who was rewarded for killing the butcher, also learned to buy clothes in the store and returned the points he owed to Shao Nan and Mo Weiqian.
Of course there is also a 20% handling fee.
This time the four people did not separate, as the room next door had been destroyed by the butcher and was uninhabitable.
The dormitory bed is just big enough for four men to sleep together.
Only after entering this dungeon did Shao Nan sigh that the dungeons he had entered before were all garbage.
Shao Nan had fought a hearty battle, and his blood was still hot and he couldn't sleep at all, so he said:
"Boss, this time it's all thanks to you. How did you find out there was a problem?"
Mo Weiqian closed his eyes and slowly said, "I am ashamed to say that I discovered that the system did not target me. I felt very bad when I found out."
The remaining three people all looked at him with sympathy.
However, when Shao Nan and Meng Yunqi thought of Mo Weiqian's battle record, they really didn't know who to sympathize with.
Meng Yunqi: "Brother, we have found the sacrifice, what are you going to do? Are you going to offer the human skin coat in the ceremony the day after tomorrow?"
After hearing this, Mo Weiqian pondered for a while and said curiously:
"I'm not sure, but my inclination is not to offer anything. No matter what the village is offering, I don't think it's a good thing."
"That man's leather jacket might have other uses."
"Besides, this village is very strange everywhere. It always gives me an inexplicable sense of disharmony."
“Just like the black goat is often the embodiment of the devil, representing evil, death and corruption.
"But as I said before, in ancient Greek mythology, people would sacrifice black goats to the gods to obtain protection, which has blessings and good meanings."
"This shows that the black goat has two sides, with both positive blessings and beauty, and negative misfortune and sin."
Shao Nan frowned and said, "It's really inconsistent. It feels like a combination of Chinese and Western styles, a tug of war between light and darkness. Could it be that this instance is about the art of stitching?"
"Look at the butcher's transformed form, isn't it the same? A pig and a sheep are spliced together." After saying this, Shao Nan shuddered when he thought of the butcher's horrible appearance.
Wei Jie turned over and patted Shao Nan: "You are the only one who is poor."
Shao Nan was not convinced and looked at Wei Jie provocatively:
"Isn't this all just divergent thinking? What if I'm really right?"
Mo Weiqian ignored him and continued his analysis:
"Don't you think there's a big difference between the Fengling Village given in the dungeon information and what we saw?"
Meng Yunqi thought for a moment and said, "According to the information given in the copy, there will be no mistakes. Even if there are traps, they will be traps and loopholes in the rules like this time. There will be no false information in the introduction."
"Unless the node we came to causes some changes in the village."
"Could it be that the place we've arrived at isn't the real Fengling Village at all?" Shao Nan cried in horror.
Wei Jie suddenly had an idea and said:
"No, there was thick fog here when we came here, as if the village had been isolated for a long time. Maybe something happened in the village and it became like this."
Thinking that this clue was broken again, everyone fell silent.
"But I want to ask if you have seen a tall tower when you entered the village, like the one in Rapunzel's story with white walls and a round column shape."
Mo Weiqian asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.
"What tower?"
"Such an obvious building should be visible at a glance."
"Boss, are you dazzled?"
The three people nearby answered in unison.
"Boss, you really have a childlike heart. You even watched Rapunzel. I watched a little bit of it when I went home to accompany my niece during the Spring Festival a long time ago." Shao Nan poked Mo Weigan with his crutch.
Then, because he was not honest, he was beaten up by the "suddenly" Meng Yunqi.
Mo Weiqian watched them calmly without stopping them.
Well, how can it not be a good thing for children to be energetic!
Mo Weiqian slowly felt sleepy and the image of the Holy Son in the shrine in the ancestral hall appeared in his mind. He murmured, "We haven't seen any other strange phenomena in the village."
There is not even a clue as to what was suppressed. What if the person being worshipped and suppressed is the same person?
【Ding! 】
[The main quest has been changed. ]
[Open the main storyline - the suppressed gods. ]
[He is the Holy Son on the top of the sacred mountain, worshipped by people for generations. Sins and grievances are rampant, and the world has become a purgatory. Countless people have died tragically. Heartbroken by the suffering of his people, he reincarnated into the world and built a village to worship his spirit...]
[Mission: Find the suppressed god.]
[Sacrifices to Gods: Human Leather Clothes (1/5)]
As soon as this reminder came out, the four of them jumped up and sat in a circle.
"Wow, there really is a 'Rapunzel'." Shao Nan was so shocked that he was incoherent.
Meng Yunqi turned around and looked at Mo Weiqian who triggered the task and asked, "Brother, how did you come up with this idea?"
Mo Weiqian shook his head: "I just think that the villagers seem to be afraid of suppressing the ghosts, but they don't see any clues about the ghosts, so I changed my thinking."
"They live a normal sacrificial life, without any fear on their face. They seem to be respectful to the Holy Son, but they also reveal omnipresent contempt."
"The dilapidated ancestral hall, the shrine by the window, and the rootless offering table all indicate that Fengling Village has no taboo against gods at all."
"I wonder if they have gotten what they wanted, so they don't need God anymore."
Wei Jie interrupted at the right time: "Then why do they hold such a grand sacrifice?"
"curse!"
Shao Nan and Meng Yunqi said in unison.
“The pigs and sheep we saw in the animal house before should have been former villagers.” Mo Weiqian said slowly.
"And the key purpose of the sacrifice should be to let the players take on the curse on their behalf."
When they said this, everyone's faces turned grim.
They all lay down without saying a word.
*
A dreamless night.
When Mo Weiqian woke up, he checked his surroundings and found no trace of villagers. It seemed that what happened last night had not been discovered.
It should all be attributed to the butcher's hunting order.
It seems that small bosses all have the ability to generate QQ spaces.
Since their group has a bye in today's sacrificial ceremony.
They agreed last night not to attend the ceremony today.
Search around the village for clues and remaining offerings to the gods.
"Hurulu...Hum...Hum..."
Shao Nan laughed at Wei Jie as if he had discovered some new world:
"Hahahaha, Boss, look, Wei Jie is sleeping so soundly that he's squealing like a pig."
After saying that, Shao Nan pinched Wei Jie's nose.
"Hmph..."
Wei Jie, who was always alert, just hummed twice and still showed no signs of waking up.
"wrong."
Mo Weiqian, who originally had a smile on his face, instantly realized that something was wrong. He took two steps onto the bunk bed, raised his hand elegantly, and threw a big bag at Wei Jie!
With a "pa" sound, a clear palm print appeared on Wei Jie Zhou Zheng's right cheek.
"Wow..." Shao Nan and Meng Yunqi were stunned. They covered their faces and looked at Mo Weiqian in horror.
