Infinite weird games

Chapter 31 Carnivorous (3) Couplet

After everyone passed the stone tablet with the words "Su's Village" written on it at the entrance of the village, a child's voice sounded in the air, singing a children's song:

【Every year brings hunger, every year brings famine, there is no rice and no face to cope with the disaster】

[Outside the ancestral hall, next to the locust tree, a large pot is set up to cook meat and taste it]

Qisi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a skinny boy with a round belly sitting on a steep dead tree.

The boy's skeleton-like body was supported by an edema-like head, with veins and blood vessels protruding from under the thin skin. The whole body was as dark as if it had rolled in the mud, except for a pair of eyes that were astonishingly white.

He recited children's songs and kept shaking his feet. The bell tied to his ankle made a gentle sound.

Seeing the players approaching, the boy jumped down from the tree, tilted his head and looked at everyone, grinning: "You are the guests grandma said, right? I have been waiting for you for a long time."

He covered his stomach with his hands like dead branches, stared ahead with his pupilless eyes, and muttered: "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, do any of you have meat for me to eat?"

The boy's eyes wandered back and forth over the players, greedy and salivating, as if he would pounce on them at any time to bite and eat.

Zeiss has always disliked children, not to mention the latter's obvious ill intentions. He rubbed the special bracelet on his right wrist, his eyes filled with darkness.

Then I quickly realized that this state was unusual, as if... hostility was deliberately inspired by some mechanism.

The sloppy man on the side obviously didn't think so much. He stepped forward and slapped the boy on the face.

Zeiss noticed that a cross was tied with a black rope in the man's palm, and a dazzling white light burst out the moment it came into contact with the boy.

This is probably a prop he obtained in the first dungeon, which can be used to deal with ghosts. His sudden attack was not without reason.

"I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!" The man slapped the boy and cursed in his mouth, as if to embolden himself and to show others.

The two newcomers watched in awe, and the other veteran players had no intention of stopping them.

Rushing to attack ghost NPCs may be seeking death, or it may be an opportunity to improve your evaluation level and unlock achievements.

It's best to have the courage to try and make mistakes, and players know how to let go of their need to help others and laugh at the fate of others.

The boy didn't fight back or even react. As the man's slap fell, his head tilted more and more, and when it reached almost ninety degrees, it fell to the ground with a "snap".

The man was so startled that he took a step back and saw the skull rolling on the ground, biting into his trouser leg.

The boy's skinny body stood upright, and there was a rumbling sound in his abdomen: "Are you willing to give me meat?"

The system prompt sounds at the right time.

[Rules have been refreshed]

[1. The ghosts in Su's Village cannot be killed by forces from outside the village. They are very vindictive, but sometimes forgetful. As long as you are willing to give them meat, they are willing to be friends with you]

The sloppy man's name was Zhao Feng. The moment he saw the rules refreshed on the system interface, his face no longer looked as ferocious as before, but instead turned pale with a trace of fear.

Others whispered words such as "It can't be killed" and "That's it." They looked at him as if they were looking at a dead person.

Zeiss squinted at the newly appeared rules and raised his eyebrows slightly.

I didn't expect this to be another dungeon with strange rules, but compared to the previous dungeon, the rules of this dungeon are hidden deeper. It is not given directly to the player, but is required to test the player's death.

Can't be killed by forces from outside the village, so do we need to rely on the power within the village? What could that be?

"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, give me meat to eat..." Bloodshot eyes oozed from the head, and his mouth opened to reveal dense teeth.

The teeth are stained with mucus and meat strands, which is disgusting; the chattering and chattering sounds make the players inexplicably irritable. Some people even had the urge to follow in Zhao Feng's footsteps and give this devil kid a blow.

"Promise him." Yang Yundong suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

Zhao Feng kicked his feet and tried to throw his head off, while shouting at the top of his lungs: "How can I promise him? How can I give him meat to eat?"

Yang Yundong raised his voice: "If you don't want to die immediately, just agree to him!"

Zhao Feng was restrained and stiffened.

The face that stared at the head became more and more ferocious, and he could only stare and shout: "I promise you! I will give you meat to eat!"

The head opened its mouth and turned upward, staring into Zhao Feng's eyes.

Yang Yundong said: "Tell him that you don't have any meat for him to eat at the moment, and you have to wait a few days before you can get it."

Zhao Feng lowered his head and stared at the big head on the ground: "I don't have any meat for you to eat at the moment. It will take a few days to get it."

He said this and waited with bated breath for an answer.

After an unknown amount of time, the boy bent down and picked up the head that was rolling on the ground, and expertly placed it back on his bare neck.

"It's a deal, tomorrow, tomorrow I will eat meat."

He said, turned his head, and smiled at the players as if nothing happened: "You are the guests that grandma said, right? My name is Axi, you can follow me to my house, we like guests the most."

The boy named "Axi" turned his head, stopped looking at the players, and jumped up and led the way.

At this point, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they passed the first point of death in a daze.

Still led by Yang Yundong, the players followed one after another.

Zhao Feng cursed a few curse words bitterly, and then moved next to Yang Yundong: "Brother Yang, what will I do tomorrow? Where can I find meat for him?"

Yang Yundong said without looking back: "Find your own way. If you have nothing to do, you should provoke these ghosts. You deserve it."

Zhao Feng felt frustrated, the muscles on his face trembled, and he was extremely angry: "If it weren't for this damn rule, I would have driven him to pieces in seconds! It's over now, I can't kill it, it's riding on my head... …”

Zhu Ling on the side quickly comforted her: "You don't have to be afraid, all kinds of ghosts have their own methods. No matter what happens, you can always find meat in a day."

Zhao Feng glanced at her and said nothing.

The roads in Su's Village are narrow and rugged, and the dilapidated houses on both sides are crowded together, making it appear cramped and depressing.

The couplets pasted in front of private houses have long since turned white and tattered. They are like festering scars on the door, and the handwriting is blurred.

Moss and ferns grow freely on the eaves, hanging down from the eaves and blowing slightly in the wind.

Looking all the way, it was dark inside the windows, and not a single person could be seen.

Where have all the people gone? A village that attracts tourists, even if it is not full of shops, should not be so sparse...

Qisi waited for a long time and did not wait for other players to ask questions. He simply asked in a casual tone: "Axi, why are there so few people in your village? Have they all moved away?"

"No." The boy leading the way replied with a smile, "Everyone will come out in the evening."

Qisi raised his eyebrows and looked curious: "Why don't they come out during the day? I see that your tourism industry is developing well. It is obviously more profitable to set up some stalls during the day, isn't it?"

He is telling lies with open eyes. No matter how dilapidated Su's Village looks, it doesn't look like a well-developed tourism industry at all.

But lying can often arouse others' desire to refute and obtain more information.

The boy fell into the trap and shook his head: "You're lying! Grandma said that since 'that incident' happened, no one from our village has come to visit for a long time."

Zeiss asked: "What is 'that thing'?"

The boy kept shaking his head: "You go ask grandma, grandma won't let me tell."

"Okay. But since no one comes to travel, why do you still stay here?" Qisi pretended not to believe it. "I don't think you have any people farming. There is no profit in staying in the village. You might as well go to the city to find some jobs." ”

The boy said in an exaggerated tone: "Grandma told me that there must be people left in the village, otherwise there will be no one to take care of the ancestral hall, and big trouble will happen!"

Qisi wanted to ask, "What's going to happen?" but he saw the boy pointing to the yard in front of him and said, "Here, my house is right ahead!"

The courtyard has a traditional cornice structure, with two faded red lanterns hung under the eaves. It looks like an ordinary rural residence.

There are two words of "Fu" on the door, and there are couplets on the doorposts. The right side is "Burning incense every year to eliminate karma", and the left side is "Eating vegetarian food every year to eliminate sins."

The couplet has faded, but the handwriting can still be seen clearly. It can be seen that it was not posted for too long, at least not more than a year.

Qisi's eyes lingered on the word "eating vegetarian" in the couplet. If he remembered correctly, this copy was called "eating meat"...

In the silence, a long "squeaking" sound was suddenly heard. The door opened from the inside, and an old woman wearing red and yellow floral clothes came out.

Her hair was all white and tied back. Her wrinkled face was like a crumpled tissue, and it was as dark as if it had been painted with charcoal. Her little feet were wearing black cloth shoes that were trembling, as if they would fall over if the wind blew. .

Compared to the boy who was obviously weird, her expression was kind and kind, and her face and body shape were not abnormal, and she looked like a real person.

Seeing the old woman, the boy happily ran up to her, hugged her legs, and looked back at the players.

The old woman leaned on the door frame, grinned her toothless mouth, and said with a smile: "The guests are here, come and divide the rooms. Only after the rooms are divided can the meat be divided..."
