Chapter 95

Su Ran's tone was determined, but the hand hanging by her side betrayed her emotions.

[I don’t know if it’s possible. 】

[Success or failure, right or wrong, depends on this! 】

[I hope it will be successful and I can go out after successfully completing the sacrificial ceremony. 】

The village chief maintained that action and looked in that direction with his cloudy eyes.

【What is he looking at? 】

[According to previous speculation, he should have no thinking ability, so what is he looking at? 】

Su Ran was puzzled and swallowed nervously.

Xie Shiqing and the others beside Su Ran were no better. They kept a close eye on the villagers holding farm tools, fearing that they would suddenly go crazy in the next second.

After all, they had already experienced it once, and the villagers were going crazy and really didn't want to experience it a second time.

After a long silence, the village chief turned his head.

Being stared at by those strange eyes, Su Ran felt her scalp numb.

[Nima, why are you staring at me? 】

[You should also look at other people! ! ! What does it mean to be so contemptuous? 】

[Is Xie Shiqing not good-looking enough? Or is Hua Rongqi not noisy enough? Or maybe Yuchi Suihua doesn't have a strong sense of presence? 】

[You should also look at them. What’s the point of just staring at me, a weak and innocent little pitiful person? 】

Su Ran was going crazy inside, but she was trying hard to maintain composure on the outside.

"Oh...people who enter the temple alone...offer sacrifices...to the mountain god..." The village chief muttered these words in a low voice, as if possessed by a man possessed.

Su Ran: "..."

【yes! 】

[That is the person who enters the temple alone. It is a sacrifice to be offered to the mountain god. Hurry up and complete your sacrificial ceremony! ! ! 】

[After you are done, let me go home quickly. 】

After the village chief finished talking, it was like a rusty machine that had not been used for a long time suddenly started running. Although it was slow, it was slowly restarting.

Su Ran was afraid that the restarted machine would suddenly become useless, just like the previous time.

[I didn’t say any keywords this time. 】

[Don’t get your head cut off just because you disagree with me. 】

[I am too timid to withstand being so scared by you! 】

The originally quiet villagers behind him became agitated again after hearing the village chief's words.

"Sacrifice! It's a sacrifice!"

"This is a sacrifice to the mountain god!"

"We are going to complete the sacrificial ceremony, and no one can stop us!"

……

Su Ran: "..."

[Then you hurry up and finish it. What's the use of just shouting here? 】

Su Ran was anxious, but she didn't dare to urge them.

They were afraid that if they said any keywords again, causing these villagers to explode and die like before, then all their hard work would be in vain.

Even Hua Rongqi, who had the least patience, remained silent this time.

Don't dare to mess with these living ancestors.

As time passed by, Su Ran and the others watched the group of villagers discussing in silence.

Well... it can't be considered a discussion, because the villagers didn't have normal thinking. To be precise, they should have been repeating a certain sentence.

For example, the villager holding the shovel kept saying "This is a sacrifice to the mountain god", while the villager holding the wooden stick next to him kept saying "we can't make the mountain god angry".

Each villager seems to have his own fixed lines that he repeats over and over again.

Su Ran: "..."

[What a dedicated group of performers. 】

[This group of people is suitable for acting in zombie dramas. 】

The villagers' voices gradually faded away, and the village chief passed by Su Ran and the others, heading towards the corpse of the villager that Yuchi Suihua had dragged back.

Su Ran: "...!!!"

【went! There they go! 】

The group of villagers stayed in front of the body for a moment and then walked into the woods.

Hua Rongqi: "...???"

Yuchi Suihua: "...???"

What are you going for? This is something I managed to drag back.

"Why did they leave?" Hua Rongqi couldn't help but ask.

Su Ran looked at the direction they were leaving and said softly: "Let's go find the branches. Doesn't the sacrificial ceremony require the use of fire? There is nothing to burn here."

"Oh..." Hua Rongqi patted his head, "Look at my memory, I even forgot about it."

Su Ran rolled her eyes at him: "When did your memory get better?"

Hua Rongqi: "..."

This bitch Yuchi Suihua is still here, are you going to tear me down like this?
Hua Rongqi's heart broke.

"Then what are we doing now?" Hua Rongqi asked again.

Su Ran said: "Two choices."

Hua Rongqi: "...?"

"Which two?"

"First, if you want to follow the exact same direction as before, then we will help pick up branches."

"Second, if you don't want to move, then we can rest here."

After Su Ran finished speaking, Hua Rongqi chose the second one without hesitation: "I want to rest here, I can't walk anymore."

Su Ran nodded, indicating that he understood, then tilted his head and looked at Xie Shiqing.

Xie Shiqing: "The second one."

Su Ran nodded again and looked at Yuchi Suihua at the edge: "What about you?"

Yuchi Suihua: "Uh...two..."

Yuchi Suihua's voice is still not good, and he can only produce broken syllables, not even a complete sentence.

Su Ran: "..."

[Isn’t Yuchi Suihua’s voice really broken? 】

【……very strange. 】

[As a male protagonist, his physical condition is so poor? ! 】

Su Ran was shocked.

Even a person like her who was not qualified in sports could persevere, but Yuchi Suihua only dragged one more thing than her, and she was so exhausted that she lost her voice.

[Today’s young people have poor physical health. (That tone)]

It was rare for the four people to agree on the same opinion, so they simply rested where they were, waiting for the group of villagers to return.

The group of villagers moved very quickly, and not long after, the rustling sounds sounded again in the woods.

It was the villagers holding branches who came back.

They seemed to have not seen Su Ran and the others this time, completely ignoring these four people.

Seeing that they were being ignored, Su Ran and the others did not take the initiative to find a sense of presence.

【Very good! 】

[It would be best to ignore us all the time. 】

【I don’t want to be noticed by this kind of thing. 】

The villagers piled the branches they picked up around the wellhead. They picked up so many branches this time that they piled them into a hill.

After the branch was put down, the village chief and several other villagers went to drag the body of the villager over.

Su Ran: "...!!!"

【Should we start? 】

"Are they preparing for some kind of sacrificial ceremony?" Hua Rongqi approached Su Ran and asked in a low voice.

Su Ran turned her head, put her hand to her mouth, and quietly said to Hua Rongqi, "I don't know either, let's take a look first."

"Then how are we going to get down later?" Hua Rongqi asked again.

Su Ran blinked and was asked for a moment, then said: "Wait until the fire is out before going down...?"

Su Ran's tone was a little uncertain. [Shouldn’t we ask Xie Shiqing or Yuchi Suihua about this kind of thing? 】

[Ask me this... uh... time traveler who doesn't know anything about it? 】

[To a certain extent, Hua Rongqi is quite courageous. 】

After all, normal people would not dare to put their wealth and life on someone like Su Ran.

Hua Rongqi said "Oh" and asked again: "Then how do we go down? I mean, how do we get from the top of the well to the bottom of the well?"

Su Ran: "..."

【Yes! 】

[I had completely forgotten that this time we were just having fun, and we were fishing in troubled waters while braiding the rope. 】

The reason why Hua Rongqi asked this was because when they were braiding the rope just now, he and Su Ran had been fishing in troubled waters.

Hmm... maybe the length he and Su Ran braided was only about one palm wide.

And when Yuchi Suihua saw that Hua Rongqi was being lazy, he naturally couldn't edit it seriously. The length he edited was even shorter than Hua Rongqi's.

The only person who has actually finished braiding a rope is Xie Shiqing.

Yuchi Suihua, who heard their conversation: "..."

You didn't mention it just now.

Yuchi Suihua originally remembered to braid the rope, but after he came back from pulling the vines, he saw Su Ran and Hua Rongqi both being lazy.

Somehow, he was infected by these two people and started to be lazy too.

Xie Shiqing was the only one who finished braiding the rope: "..."

Ah.

There's no way my rope can be used by you guys.

Xie Shiqing dissuaded Hua Rongqi and Yuchi Suihua from worrying about his rope in advance: "Don't think about it, I won't let you use it."

Su Ran: "..."

[Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo, so heartless! ! ! 】

Hua Rongqi: "..."

What's wrong with being so stingy and asking me to use it? Will you be missing an arm or a leg?

Yuchi Suihua: "..."

You think I'm curious, but I still think your rope is dirty.

Yuchi Suihua said nothing, walked to the edge and continued to weave his own rope.

Anyway, the group of villagers haven't started yet, so he still has time.

Hua Rongqi saw Yuchi Suihua's movements, tilted his head, looked at Su Ran, and asked her opinion.

Su Ran: "..."

【It turns out that some things cannot be escaped. 】

【What is supposed to come will come. 】

"Let's make it up too, it should be too late now." Su Ran said.

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 】

Hua Rongqi: "...Oh."

Xie Shiqing deliberately held Su Ran and asked her to use the same rope as him.

But the one he just made has become much thinner in some places due to the wear and tear caused by his trip to the bottom of the well.

Xie Shiqing was afraid that the rope would not be able to bear the weight of the two people entering the bottom of the well again.

After all, Hua Rongqi and Yuchi Suihua were still with them, and there was still enough time.

Su Ran and the others moved very quickly this time, without any sign of fishing. It didn't take long for them to finish braiding their respective ropes.

Almost as soon as they finished compiling, the group of villagers gathered together again.

"Wait a moment..." Hua Rongqi suddenly said, looking somewhere, "Don't you think there is one more person among them?"

After Hua Rongqi's reminder, they looked at the villagers again.

Hua Rongqi discovered that there were many people, not based on the number, but...

Su Ran also saw it.

[Is this going to scare people to death? ! 】

Among the group of villagers, there was clearly a headless villager. Wasn't that the one Yuchi Suihua had just dragged down the mountain and then back to the mountain? !

How could he not see such an obvious headless man? !
At this moment, the most explosive person is Yuchi Suihua.

Yuchi Suihua: "..."

Fuck me, fuck you, fuck you.

Yuchi Suihua felt that he had lost his language function.

Such a disgusting thing, he was so close to it just now, and even encountered it several times, especially when he threw it into the ruined temple.

Yuchi Suihua's vision almost went dark, and he remembered again that on the way down the mountain, the villager's weight suddenly became much heavier.

It seems that all the strange changes have traces.

Su Ran: "..."

[What a weird illusion, what a weird villager. 】

Xie Shiqing: "..."

Stop the cycle, I'm tired.

Hua Rongqi: "..."

Damn it, can I still get out successfully?

If I had known this would happen, I would have used up all my personal money in advance.

Yuchi Suihua: "..."

There was only one thought in my mind, I felt dirty.

Su Ran and the four of them were already in a mess in the wind, but the villagers did not notice anything strange about them and were still busy with their own sacrificial rituals.

The headless villager stood up at some point and merged into the villagers without anyone noticing.

At this moment, with everyone watching, he walked towards the well.

"Is he going to jump?" Hua Rongqi asked softly.

"I don't know." Su Ran didn't know what words to use to describe her current mood.

【Why--! 】

[The mood of the person involved is very complicated and has reached a point that cannot be described. 】

[I hope nothing will happen again. They should complete this sacrificial ceremony as soon as possible. I want to go home. 】

The group of villagers gathered around the headless villager again, muttering words they couldn't understand, probably ancient characters.

Su Ran raised her arm and bumped into Xie Shiqing: "What are they talking about? Can you translate it for me?"

Xie Shiqing's answer was beyond Su Ran's expectation: "I don't understand."

Su Ran: "...!!!"

[It’s not an ancient text. 】

[Ancient characters, Chinese, and unintelligible bird language. 】

[So far, this group of villagers have mastered three languages...! 】

[It’s not easy to be an NPC these days. You even have to master multiple languages. 】

[Life is not easy, the NPC sighed. 】

Su Ran actually saw the miserable figure of modern migrant workers in these villagers, and felt a strange sympathy inexplicably.

Fortunately, she never has to work part-time in her life.

[Hmm... I just don’t know how long I can live in this life. 】

Su Ran really wanted to cherish her hard-won wealthy life, but she couldn't forget the ending of her family in the original work.

The group of villagers gathered around the headless villager and began to sing and dance.

They sang words they didn't understand, and danced things they couldn't understand.

After about five minutes, the group of villagers stopped again.

Why do you say five minutes? Because Su Ran was bored and kept counting in his mind.

[A whole three hundred seconds! 】

[They sang and danced for a full three hundred seconds! 】

Su Ran didn't know what she was doing counting this useless thing, but she really had nothing to do.

To be precise, I can't muster the energy to do anything else, so I can only do this.
