Thriller copy beating workers

Shu Xin still remembered the scene she saw when she first came to the town and settled in the tavern.

Although almost all of them were old and frail people from the small town, they still had a strong breath of life in them.

They are afraid of death, but... they seem to have a different feeling when facing death than people in the outside world.

Shu Xin, led by Lu Qi and others, came to the square in the town.

This is the center of the town, and there is nothing on it except a totem sculpture that looks like a flame.

Just yesterday, she had a very fierce fight here.

Lu Qi asked Shu Xin to come to the totem, and the others stopped at the periphery of the circle, then knelt down one after another, putting their hands on their chests, as if they were holding something.

Shu Xin felt that the atmosphere had gradually become solemn from the previous enthusiasm. The square with thousands of people was silent, and the silence was sacred.

Shu Xin frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Everyone was kneeling around, leaving her alone in front of the totem in the center. Could it be that they were going to sacrifice her?
In the sea of ​​consciousness, she communicated with Susu: "Is there anything wrong here?"

Su Su: [...The last trace of traction I tracked fell here. So far, the murderous intent has not been found. 】

Lu Qi said respectfully: "Dear Mr. Hunter, please place your hand on this Mother Goddess of the Earth, and you can start our sacrificial ceremony this time."

Shu Xin has been observing this sculpture. It is very ordinary, carved from a piece of black stone.

I thought it was a totem of fire, but I didn't expect it to be... the earth, so abstract.

She examined it carefully with her dimensional eyes. Even if it was a stone, there was no smell of poison, agency information, etc. on it.

Just let her put her hand on this stone?
Shu Xin's mind contacted the Yin Ling Bone Knife and the map fragments, and they were immediately activated as soon as something went wrong!
Then, she slowly stretched out her hand, and the tip of her longest middle finger gently touched the stone.

Inexplicably, her mind couldn't help but think of the kidnapped little girl she met during the first search. She was obviously ready to kill her, but because she was holding hands with the other person, she was almost killed by Yin force. Freeze.

So this time, even though everything was normal and she was fully prepared mentally and for attack, she still seemed very cautious.

As long as the fingertips feel the slightest bit wrong, she can withdraw immediately...

However, this time there was no Yin force attack, but... like an electric shock, it seemed that there was some kind of magnetic field that instantly connected into a closed loop because of her.

The depression in the entire space was swept away, and then, the original black stone sculpture began to sink, turning into a bottomless hole.

Inside the cave, the force of magnetic field interaction with Shu Xin's fingers became extremely pure and powerful.

Susu's voice came at the right moment: [It's right here! 】

At this time, the town residents who had been kneeling devoutly stood up one after another, spontaneously and orderly walked over one by one, and threw the soil in their hands into the hole.

These soil...

Susu: [It’s ashes, or the remains of the human body that have been processed by people here through special means. 】

"Ashes?" You must know that the battle ended early this morning. No matter how fast these people were, they would not be able to incinerate the corpses of dozens or hundreds of people into ashes.

Moreover, although she was sleeping and resting, Susu could sense changes in the energy field of the outside world through her body.

Her hut was only more than a mile away from the town, so there was no way she wouldn't be able to sense such a large-scale flames.

The fact is that Su Su did not sense the large-scale burning.So, where did these ashes come from?

That's not right, those "ashes" are black and yellow in color, almost like soil, otherwise her first reaction would not be "dirt".

Shu Xin stood nearby, quietly watching the town residents scatter the soil in their hands into the holes, then put their hands on their chests, closed their eyes and remained silent for a moment, extremely pious.

After a second or two, the next town dweller is replaced.

Just when Shu Xin was about to ask Lu Qi what these people were doing and what the meaning of it was, Su Su's voice came again.

[Xin, I think I finally deduced the purpose of these people doing this, and the ghost of this cursed place. 】

Shu Xin: "Tell me quickly. Is the root cause in this hole? What should I do?"

Su Su: [Yes, the root of everything is in this cave, and also in everyone here. 】

[This underground cave is the place where all their beliefs are condensed, and it is also the earth mother god who was born because of their beliefs. It protects them and gives them immortal souls, eternally strong bodies, and handsome and young faces. 】

Shu Xin narrowed her eyes slightly, "Immortal soul? Forever young and strong?"

Nothing in this world is eternal—except eternal entropy.

Even dungeon employees who have the golden finger to repair unlimited body cells are not eternal.

Because intelligent life has a soul in addition to the body.

The soul will weaken over time until it disappears from the world forever.

And the people here actually used their powerful power of faith to create a god... No, to be precise, their power of faith did connect to the rules of the earth here, and then condensed into a... barrier.

Therefore, as long as they are in this place, they can live longer than people outside, except for being hunted by ghosts.Stay healthy, and... they'll also be more handsome than anyone else out there.

So, even if they are threatened by ghosts, they are not willing to leave? !
Susu: [Not only that. 】

After hearing Su Su's response, Shu Xin thought about it carefully and realized that it was just that, youth, health, and beauty were indeed attractive.But with constant death threats, I'm afraid not everyone can be so determined to stay here.

Therefore, there must be other more fundamental factors.

The most essential factor?
【soul. 】

Su Su: [I just interacted with the magnetic field fluctuations from the cave and the life magnetic field of the town residents, and finally connected all the information clues.After these people die, as long as they fall into this cave, they can merge with the gods they believe in, and then they will realize reincarnation in this isolated small world. 】

Shu Xin: "You mean, even if these people die, they can be reborn indefinitely in this town?"

Su Su thought about her choice of words: [It's not rebirth, it's reincarnation.They firmly believe that they will return to the world. 】

Shu Xin thought for a while: "Then they still have memories of their previous lives... no, their past lives?"

Susu: [Yes, or not.But it will carry some marks from the previous life, so even if you have no memory of the previous life, others will know that their acquaintances or relatives have returned to you. 】

After a pause, Su Su added: [Or maybe, those marks that look similar to those in the previous life are just the conspiracy of evil factors. 】

It turned out to be the case.

Shu Xin felt that the second scenario was more likely. After all, reincarnation is not simply letting the soul settle in a new body.
