It’s over, I’m surrounded by weirdos and players

Chapter 138 Undercurrent (4228 words in total)
Suddenly, the sky changed drastically, dark clouds gathered, and thunder and lightning struck, a dazzling light rushed straight into the ancestral hall like lightning, illuminating the entire village, and a loud noise echoed in everyone's ears.

"What's going on?" The village chief looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, and his expression instantly became serious.

Looking at the direction pointed by the lightning, I felt uneasy.

Apparently he was aware of the abnormality in the weather, and something big seemed to have happened.

Other villagers present also saw this amazing scene.

"Could it be that the ancestor is angry?"

"I guess he must be dissatisfied with the village chief for bringing in outsiders."

"The ancestors are clearly warning us. Someone disappeared and someone died before. A big disaster must be coming!"

"What a big disaster, I think it's probably caused by outsiders."

"Yes, yes, every time they come, something bad will happen."

If he were so powerful, he would have torn apart the disrespectful people long ago.

Ah Qi sighed again: "Dake has a good life, and he has a good eye for people."

Suddenly there was a sound outside.

As the leader of a village, he has the responsibility and obligation to maintain peace in the village.

If he encounters something strange like a yaksha again later, he still has a way to protect himself.

While he still had some energy left, he quickly drew a few more charms, preparing to keep them to save his life.

She covered the wound excitedly, and while using the props to treat it, she stared at Lin Yi's figure infatuatedly.

I saw a surprising scene, the powerful lightning wiped out Da Yaksha in one fell swoop.

I didn't expect this NPC to be so powerful.

He really didn't have much strength, so now he relied on Bian Yi to support him to stand up.

Looking back at it now, his sarcastic remarks seemed like he was seeking death.

Fortunately, he bothered to remind the other party at that time, but now it seems that Chun Chun was simply blind and ignorant, and was making a fool of himself.

Ah Jiu maintained a half-lying position, his eyes widened, and he murmured unconsciously: "It's terrible. Is this the power of NPCs?"

The villagers talked a lot, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.

After releasing the thunderbolt, the Taomu Sword could no longer hold up and directly shattered into pieces.

On the other side, Lin Yi was half-kneeling on the ground after using his ultimate move.

He recalled the scene when he first met Lin Yi.

Bian Yi was keenly aware that when the last question was raised, other people's eyes fell firmly on Lin Yi, and they had speculations in their hearts.

So he walked over and helped Lin Yi up and asked: "What exactly happened here? Who was that lightning just now?"

Fortunately, they didn't do anything inappropriate when they got along with each other.

"Are you okay?" Bian Yi put away the shock on his face and noticed that everyone present was not in good condition.

"Did you cause the commotion just now? Did Lei Guang also do it?"

Although he was restless in his heart, he still directed calmly.

"Okay, okay, the ancestor worship procession cannot be interrupted. Let's speed up and return to the ancestral hall." The village chief took a deep breath and suppressed the discussions of the villagers.

The procession gathered speed.

I still underestimated him before.

"Great, I'm saved." Liu Jingjing woke up from the pain and saw Da Yaksha being struck by lightning and turned into ashes.

If I had to say who looked in the best condition, it could only be Lin Yi. At least there were no wounds.

I just don’t know if the charm will also disappear after the identity card disappears.

Everyone else was still immersed in the lightning just now, with shock on their faces.

"What a risk. Fortunately, I didn't offend him too much." Ah Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered softly: "Otherwise, it would have been gone in a minute."

Bian Yi was attracted by the thunderous movement and ran in directly instead of waiting where he was.

It woke up everyone present.

There was a voice in my heart that kept saying, this is what a hero looks like.

Lin Yi had already begun to plan for his next action.

This move drained all the remaining mental energy out of him, and he could only lie on the ground sweating profusely and gasping for air.

All of them were stunned, and their expressions were scary.

Hearing this answer, Bian Yi was shocked again.

The ID card only had one minute left and his power was almost gone.

Lin Yi nodded weakly and said nothing.

How can he allow others to be presumptuous towards him?

After returning, he must find an opportunity to remind Dake to maintain this relationship and never offend this NPC.

Otherwise, a thunderbolt from the other side would kill them all and not even a corpse would be left.

"Here." Ah Qi and Ah Jiu helped each other and walked to Lin Yi.

Ah Qi handed over the small paper bag in his hand, "Eating something will help you recover faster."

[It has been detected that the player Zhang Qi is trading the item Liu Grandma’s Shaobing*3 to you. Do you want to accept it? 】

It was the first time that Lin Yi saw Wen players trading items, which seemed to be food made by some other NPC.

It was the same thing as Grandma Li’s salt-and-pepper melon seeds and Grandma Liu’s strawberry lollipops that he had received from the Love Community before.

[Information description: A piece of Grandma Liu’s sesame cake (rare) quickly restores physical strength and randomly gives satiety points]

"Thank you." Lin Yi took the sesame seed cake and said thank you.

Ah Jiu smiled and said, "You are too polite. If it weren't for you, we would have died long ago."

As he spoke, he also took out a mahogany sword and stuffed it into it, "I hope you don't dislike it. This one of mine is definitely not as good as the one you used before."

"There is no way I can repay the kindness of saving my life. This is a little bit of my heart from Ah Qi and I. Please accept it."

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment and decided to accept it.

After all, as an NPC, he doesn't have any handy weapons.

Nowadays it would be great if someone would give one away.

It's better than nothing, it can be used anyway.

[Item: Centennial Peachwood Sword]

[Grade: C]

[Information explanation: Made of 500-year-old peach wood, it can attract good luck and avoid disaster. It is a must-have product for home and travel. It is afraid of flames]

"I don't have anything I can give you, so I owe you once." After Liu Jingjing recovered, she came over sheepishly and saw that everyone else had given Lin Yi something, but she really had nothing to offer.

"It's okay. I'm not saving people for things." Lin Yi smiled gently and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Considering that the other party was still a girl and had just suffered betrayal and hurt, her tone was a little softer after she finished speaking.

Listening to Lin Yi's considerate words, Liu Jingjing felt a little sweet and wanted to cry.

After being with Dapeng for so long, I have always been ordered around, and I can't say that the things I do are completely against my heart, but I am always unhappy.

She didn't expect to meet such a gentle person like Lin Yi, and she felt in her heart that the copy was not that bad.

It's just a pity that the other party is an NPC, otherwise I would still be able to follow him.

Lin Yi didn't expect that in just one sentence, Liu Jingjing would think about so many things in her mind. He turned to look at Bian Yi and asked, "How is the situation over there? Have you found anyone?"

"Ah."

When Bian Yi mentioned this matter, his tone became much lower, "When I arrived, the owner of the ring had been quartered, and he couldn't be dead anymore."

Thinking of the scene he saw, Bian Yi felt bad all over.

The bloody mess was mixed with bones, internal organs, and white stuff, which made people feel sick to their stomachs.

Sensing that the person next to him was in a bad mood, Lin Yi immediately joked: "Isn't he very clean?"

"Indeed, you guessed it right." Bian Yi understood Lin Yi's intentions and chuckled, forgetting everything he had just thought about.

"Have you found any other clues?" Lin Yi continued to ask, his eyes fixed on the door where Da Yaksha came out just now, always feeling that there was something uncomfortable inside.

Bian Yi followed his line of sight and found the door as well, "I didn't find anything else. Do you want to go in?"

"Come in, they're all here. If there were any other ghosts out, they would have followed them." After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi decided to continue checking.

I'm afraid there won't be such a good opportunity next time.

do not miss it.

"What about you?" Bian Yi looked at the three people standing aside. They were all wounded and it seemed that it would not be good to take risks with them.

Ah Qi and Ah Jiu looked at each other, and then replied affirmatively: "Let's go in together. We also want to see what's inside, so we can't be hurt in vain."

"I'm going too. I'll follow you in." Liu Jingjing raised her head and glanced at Lin Yi secretly, then raised her hand weakly.

Bian Yi looked at Liu Jingjing suspiciously, shook his head and said, "You can't follow us, who knows what the hell you are up to."

Bloodthirsty people are always insidious and cunning and should not be easily trusted.

"I really didn't have any plans." Liu Jingjing argued in a low voice: "You have seen that I was pushed out by Dapeng as a shield. How could I still be with him?"

"I'm not that stupid. I can still tell who is good and who is bad."

Bian Yi was not present at the time and did not know the whole story. He could only look at the other two people and asked, "Really?"

Ah Qi nodded, "She was indeed unlucky to be pushed out by Dapeng."

"Okay, but any clues or information found later will belong to us." Bian Yi frowned and reluctantly agreed to Liu Jingjing's colleagues, and added as if he remembered something, "You don't have any share in it, including the items and props."

"Okay." Even if Liu Jingjing acted alone, she might not be able to escape if she encountered danger.

Besides, she always remembered what Lin Yi said at the beginning.

The ancestor worship procession at the ancestral hall has returned, and she is not sure she can escape safely under the eyes of the villagers.

"I will keep an eye on you and don't play any tricks." Bian Yi warned in a deep voice.

Four players with different ideas formed a team with Lin Yi and continued to explore.

At the same time, Dapeng, who had escaped, had successfully opened the stone door and returned safely to the backyard of the ancestral hall.

He also noticed something unusual in the sky.

Dark clouds obscured a huge lightning bolt that rushed to the ground, less than five meters away from the stone wall.

Dapeng secretly guessed that it might be caused by the boss's violent rage.

Maybe he was the only one who survived.

Thinking of this, he smiled proudly.

In terms of intelligence and ability, he is still better.

As a result, the next second, he was surrounded by villagers who rushed to the ancestral hall.

The village chief asked loudly, "Did you destroy our ancestral hall?"

It must be because these outsiders made the ancestors angry by messing around, so the thunder was dropped.

Damn these foreigners.

The village chief glared at Dapeng fiercely and continued: "Explain to me honestly, otherwise you will get the best of you."

Since the ancestor worship procession came back, the village chief noticed that the appearance of the ancestral hall had changed drastically when he entered the door.

The tablet was shattered on the floor, incense ashes were scattered on the ground, and there were unexplained scratches everywhere on the door and the surrounding walls. It looked like a mess.

No wonder the lightning flashed just now.

It is clear that the ancestors want to punish the bad guys who destroyed the ancestral hall.

"I don't know what you are talking about? What happened in the ancestral hall has nothing to do with me." Dapeng refused to admit it, saying that everything had nothing to do with him.

He was also attracted by the lightning and wanted to see what happened.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by the village chief and his men as soon as he arrived.

Really innocent.

Unfortunately, the village chief remained unmoved and insisted that there was something wrong with Dapeng's appearance.

"If it was really me, why didn't you run away and stay here waiting for you to catch me?"

Dapeng tried hard to quibble, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it next.

"You can't bully me just because I'm a foreigner. It's so unreasonable."

"The people who say that Yunlai villagers are simple and honest, I think are all lies. They are all designed to attract foreigners like us to come and defraud our money."

"I must expose you and post this matter online to see who else dares to visit your village!"

The words are implicitly threatening.

When the village chief heard Dapeng mentioning tourism, he immediately softened his attitude. He knew that the prosperity of the village was inseparable from these foreigners who came to visit, and the reputation must not be ruined.

He immediately changed his attitude, softened his tone and said, "That's not what we meant. It's actually a rule in the village that outsiders cannot enter the ancestral hall without permission."

As he spoke, the village chief waved his hand behind him and dispersed all the onlookers to other areas.

Only a few confidants were left nearby to investigate the situation.

He lowered his voice and explained to Dapeng: "Besides, we also informed you that there will be an ancestor worship procession today, and we have repeatedly warned you not to go out."

"As a result, you appeared here. And there happened to be a major problem in the ancestral hall. There is really no way not to arouse suspicion."

"With so many pairs of eyes watching, as the village chief, I must give everyone an explanation."

Dapeng noticed the change in the village chief's attitude and nodded quickly to express his understanding: "Of course I know the village chief didn't mean that, and I also understand the responsibilities and pressures you shoulder as the head of a village."

"Actually, it's not difficult to figure out who destroyed the ancestral temple."

He looked at the village chief in front of him and had an idea in his mind.

The village chief began by asking: "What should we do?"

"You can send someone to see who is wrong in the tour group. That must be the person with the problem." Dapeng replied in a low voice: "Anyway, you are the village chief. You have the final say on who is true and who is false."

His last sentence meant something, and there was a sinister calculation hidden in his eyes.

According to the players' ideas, they will definitely take advantage of the ancestor worship procession to explore for information, just to see how many they can catch.

If he can get rid of other players with the help of the village chief, his chances of getting clues and winning will be greatly increased.

If you don't fight for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. If you want to live, you must use all means to fight.

The village chief said meaningfully: "I understand."

Dapeng showed a satisfied smile and patted the village chief on the shoulder, "I wish the village chief will catch the murderer as soon as possible."

"I'm lending you a good word." The village chief glanced at Dapeng with a smile, and shouted to his confidants: "Take him down with me."

"What?" Dapeng's eyes were full of astonishment, and the smile on his lips suddenly froze.
