Master Swindler

Seeing that the sharp blade was about to pierce Lu Qingjia's eyebrows, the surrounding players only had time to show their expressions of astonishment.

Everyone seemed to have seen the splash of his blood, but when they came back to their senses, they realized that the blade had stopped a little bit outside Lu Qingjia's skin, and could not move forward for half a minute.

A strand of hair on the back of his head did not know when it grew longer, and it curled up the blade. The hair was flexible and firm, and the seemingly invincible blade could not be cut or escaped.

When the sneak attack failed, the corpse on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, and a blade popped out from the knuckles, rushing towards Lu Qingjia.

But since Lu Qingjia was able to respond to unexpected sneak attacks, it was naturally even more of a problem.

The player's corpse quickly condensed into a large ice tuft, maintaining an attacking posture, and the statue stopped in place.

It can be seen that the other party is trying to break free, but apart from the slight movement of the fingertips, there is no way to recover the control of the body.

The surrounding players found their breath after seeing this: "Hey, he is not dead yet?"

"Why is he attacking you?"

Lu Qingjia said: "Dead."

Speaking of pushing the'Ice Sculpture' down, one of his hands shattered directly after he fell to the ground due to the shock after the freezing, and splashed aside.

Lu Qingjia unlocked Frost's ability, and a scalpel appeared in his hand, cutting off the opponent's joints and meridians in three or two strokes, making the opponent unable to move.

However, even if it turned into a pool of soft flesh, the opponent still wanted to attack Lu Qingjia persistently.

Lu Qingjia's hand wrapped in the air bubble pressed the opponent's head, the scalpel accurately found somewhere, and cut out a small black bug from the inside.

When the worm was separated, the corpse remained silent and became a dead body.

"Is this being planted with Gu?" said a player with a horror game.

"When was he in Gu? Why did he stare at Brother Lu to attack?"

Although everyone in this dungeon has the surname Lu, and most of the player characters who are cursed are also surnamed Lu, it is different from Lu Qingjia's coincidence. The other players actually have different surnames.

But everyone is not a fool. The hapless guy who just died is unlikely to grow this stuff for himself and turn himself into a zombie thing.

And even if you planted Gu, why didn't you catch Lu Qingjia and attack?Before Lu Qingjia came back, it was not that no players encountered his corpse because of the inspection, and it was all right at the time. Lu Qingjia had a problem.

In this way, things became obvious: "Who was he hit by?"

"The three of us went back to the village yesterday. Except for the first wedding, we didn't have a face-to-face meeting with everyone, right?" The extreme game player said: "After the wedding, the bridegroom died. At that time, Mr. Lu found out that everyone was pulling everyone into a group, and it was the first time that he was online.

"After one night, the three of us came back in a team. Several of us are still in the city. You all met before that and came here all the way in a team. Only then will we have contact time?"

The meaning is very clear, unless there are other hidden threats, otherwise the unlucky ghost who died will be poisoned, and the most suspicion is the few players who came with them.

What's more, the difficulty of the game is already so great, and the possibility of hidden threats is extremely low, so he can almost settle his guess.

A player who came with him was unhappy when he heard this: "You settle the case quickly."

"You can become an exchange student, but don't treat other mid-level players as fools. With so many of us, if there is a movement among us, you will not notice it at all?"

"To give people such a thing, a typical investment of small and powerful skills, then it is determined that either the program is responsible for high conditions, or there is a very high strength to suppress it in order to be unconscious."

"To be honest, so far, although everyone's cooperation has been pretty pleasant, but if you want to tell who trusts whom, you don't believe it? Then why rudely throw the suspicion on us? Did you come a day earlier? It’s not that you haven’t left the village since you entered the game."

The extreme players sneered after hearing the words: "Okay, even if there are other possibilities, but in terms of sneaky ability, which is the threat of your horror games, right? Our two games are not without similar copies, but the number is horrible. Compared with the game, it is really negligible."

"These two points are calculated together. I won't say the conclusion, but you have to admit that in probability, your suspicions are far greater than our facts?"

Seeing the dignified atmosphere on both sides, the players of Infinite Game hurriedly finished the game: "Hey, don't say that, we are not the police to decide the case. It is no good for anyone to doubt each other now."

He changed the subject again and said, "Brother Lu, the two tricks you just used I remember are the ability to defect."

Lu Qingjia nodded: "Fortunately, at least for now, except for the time of rebellion, other time is still free and flexible, and it does not hinder the use."

The eyes of the infinite players flashed.

He acted with Lu Qingjia and saw with his own eyes last night's Frost Ability's betrayal and noon bubble ability nearly suffocated him.

Especially the bubble ability, this is a crisis that only happened within a few hours.

But only so little time has passed, Lu Qingjia dare not hesitate to continue to trust and use his abilities, and to use his abilities without hesitation in times of crisis, his body did not show even a second of instinct hesitation due to the betrayal of abilities. .

Explain that the other party really didn't care about it.

If nothing else, this powerful nerve alone makes people feel terrifying.

I haven't seen a few other players who are still concerned about the betrayal of other people's abilities they have seen with their own eyes, and they are already discussing how to use less abilities.

Infinite player asked again: "But how do you know that he has a Gu worm in his mind?"

Lu Qingjia said: "I have the ability to see through. It is not a problem to see through the human body."

Seeing that the surrounding players were a little stiff, Lu Qingjia smiled: "Don't worry, as a player of this level, the brain and important organs are covered by spiritual power, and spiritual power can isolate prying eyes. My perspective is not strong enough. See you who are alive."

"In terms of speaking, it can penetrate the limbs at most, but this person is dead and his spiritual power has dissipated.

I don't know how much they believed this, but at least the atmosphere on the face eased slightly.

A spray gun appeared in Lu Qingjia's hand and turned on the switch at the dead body.

This airbrush was bought by Unlimited Games, which can quickly cremate corpses, and is aimed at a world where corpses such as zombies can pose a threat.

Lu Qingjia explained: "If you don't clean it up, the player's body will be turned into lamp oil to continue the next curse, leaving it useless."

Everyone had no objection to this, and after all, they weren't any real companions, and the corpses of the characters who died in the game were meaningless.

After cleaning up, Lu Qingjia said: "Okay, we have to go up the mountain to find some clues, do you want to be together?"

Some people chose to act with Lu Qingjia, but more chose to explore intelligence alone.

After all, Lu Qingjia and the others came a day earlier, and they had the advantage. Although they are still peaceful, no one can say whether he will adulterate the information he shared. With the vigilance and suspiciousness of the players, he is more willing to believe that he has discovered.

Lu Qingjia didn't force it, and followed the villagers' directions and came to a place in the back mountain.

At this time, it was in the flowering period, and it was exactly the same as they described, and the color of the land was obviously different from the surroundings.

It was originally an ordinary flower all over the mountains and plains, and the three colors of white, blue and purple were on the soil tens of meters away. When it came to this land less than 100 meters in radius, it became blood-soaked red.

Lu Qingjia looked at the terrain. It was obviously suitable for living here. Looking at the surrounding traces, there should have been people building houses here a long time ago. Lu Qingjia even saw a dry well. If you look down, you can find a foundation made of stone, indicating that it is here. Have lived in someone's house.

But now it has degenerated into a wasteland, and the surrounding area is deserted. No one builds houses here, and no one opens up farmland.

The flat terrain here, coupled with the fact that it is close to the houses in the village, and the village is mainly farming, it is obviously impossible to leave a good piece of land abandoned.

Lu Qingjia went back to the girl's house, called her grandma again, and asked what was going on with the land, why no one was farming it, and no one was building a house on it.

The girl's grandmother shook her head: "It's impossible, where can the mountain god flower bloom? It will be struck by thunder."

Lu Qingjia asked again: "Actually, I want to ask, when did the sacrifice start?"

The girl's grandma shook her head: "I can't remember."

"There is always a record of the list of sacrifices?" Lu Qingjia said: "This kind of thing should be passed down from generation to generation like the genealogy."

This time, the girl's grandmother nodded: "Yes, Shanwazi has kept it for thousands of years."

Shanwazi is the head of the village, and the old lady is quite senior and qualified to be called that.

Lu Qingjia left with satisfaction and immediately found the village head. At this moment, the village head also heard that one of them had died.

Shaking his head and sighed: "Creating evil, children."

Lu Qingjia laughed and said, "Where can I say that, life and death are fateful, and instead of a meaningless end, serving the mountain god is of great significance. You should be happy, the village chief."

village head:"……"

Sure enough, the two devils are more evil than the big devils. If the village chief has read psychology, he should know that this guy's current performance is called'converted fanaticism'.

Lu Qingjia said again: "By the way, the village head, in order to better serve the mountain gods and understand all the past, of course, there is also a trace of my own blood. I want to look at the sacrificial records and genealogy of past dynasties. Is it successful?"

The village head was also generous, and agreed without thinking.

It's just that you can only watch it here, not take it away.

Lu Qingjia smiled and said: "That's right, I will have a meal at your house in the evening. I like to eat twice-cooked pork and shredded pork with fish flavor. I think the eggplants you grow outside look good. Let's have another eggplant salad. Thank you, uncle. "

According to seniority, the village chief is also the cousin of Lu Qingjia's role.

Seeing that this guy was so shameless, the village chief was suffocated and couldn't get up.

But it seemed stingy to pick up a meal, so he could only drive away the children at home who had been around to watch the excitement: "Go go, do homework, what to do?"

When Lu Qingjia looked through the genealogy and sacrifice records, he found something incredible.

A village has existed for more than a thousand years, and the weather has been smooth and the inheritance has never been cut off. What is the probability?

However, according to the timeline, it is exactly this. After the first living sacrifice, the villagers have never suffered a major disaster.

Whether it was natural or man-made disasters or dynasties, the mountain village was forgotten by all disasters. Judging from the superficial record, this living sacrifice really made the village safe and prosperous.

Ignoring the original record, Lu Qingjia came to the time of the first living sacrifice. The record is that there was a severe drought at that time. The sacrifice was originally offered in the village to pray for rain.

Sure enough, the next day he got what he wanted, and then the sacrifice became a routine.

Lu Qingjia glanced at the names of the first batch of sacrifices, which were still a thousand years ago. Of course, these records had been copied again.

Finding out the corresponding genealogy of the year, Lu Qingjia quickly discovered that it was wrong.

Because the first virgin boys and girls were actually a pair of brothers and sisters.

Generally speaking, this kind of living sacrifice, no matter what the banner is, the family that sacrifices will always be sad, let alone let the family sacrifice two children at the same time.

Either the family was left alone in the village and was bullied, or there was a specific screening method that was really just killing blood mold.

Lu Qingjia asked the girl's grandmother, the rules of offering sacrifices for thousands of years, do not pick out the background and other conditions.

The first is less than fifteen years old, and the second is innocent. It is enough to satisfy both.

As for the source of sacrifices, if there is a sick child or a disliked child in the family, it is okay to take the initiative to make sacrifices.

Of course, if you take the initiative to offer sacrifices, you can be exempted from participating in the next three sessions. Therefore, in order to keep certain children, it is not impossible for some families to take the initiative to send unanticipated children to death.

Girls are not on the genealogy, but girls who sacrificed are different. No matter how much they were not valued during their lifetime, as long as they served the mountain gods, it was of great significance.

Therefore, it is easy for Lu Qingjia to see the origin of the sacrifices in the past.

The first generation of virgin boys and virgins came from a family, and the second generation still belonged to that family, and then that family disappeared. The family originally had a large population and died in a short time.

What is even more exciting is that the first generation of sacrifices, that is, the person who proposed and presided over the living sacrifice, turned out to be the son-in-law of the family.

That son-in-law was the only long-lived person in the whole family, living a full eighty-nine, and presided over more than twenty sacrifices.

Finally died and was buried in the back mountain-

"Cousin, cousin, come down." Lu Qingjia yelled with a cat in his throat.

The village chief came over impatiently: "What? What are you going to do?"

"Where is the burial place for this sacrifice?"

The village head had a strange expression on his face, as if it was not the first time he answered this question.

He said: "Just the one where the mountain god flower blooms. The first-generation sacrificial ancestor was the person closest to the mountain god, so naturally they had to be buried in the blessed land.

Lu Qingjia smiled suddenly: "Fu Di? Not necessarily?"

He turned to the genealogy page: "According to the record, his Yue family lived in that area at the beginning, and then the whole family died, and it has been barren since then. Uncle you actually said it was a blessed land?"

The village chief’s teeth are sour: "Fortune Land also depends on whether it can afford it. His family is poor and can’t afford it. Isn’t it that way?"

Lu Qingjia asked again: "Then the original sacrifice was buried there, was it decided by the villagers later, or he requested it?"

"Where do I know this?" The village chief said with a smile: "It's been a thousand years, I can't dig out the bones to help you ask."

Lu Qingjia glanced at him and smiled: "Why are you? Don't tell me what you know. Then I will sue you in front of the mountain god. You, a living person, and I, a dying person, are stunned. ?"

"You don't use this thing as a raft." The village chief said: "Who is really afraid that you will not be a little boy?"

Lu Qingjia spread his hands together: "I am here. Anyway, it is not the first time to say something to you. You have to say it, or you don't have to say it."

The village chief sneered: "Why?"

"As far as I know, who is the inner ghost who is embarrassing with you?" Lu Qingjia said.

"what?"

Lu Qingjia casually said: "You have prepared your natal oil lamp a long time ago. I looked for a chance to look through this year's oil lamp, and it is not bad with the name of the person who came back. You can never say that you are an unknown prophet, right?"

"The only possibility is that someone outside has discussed this list with you long ago and communicated with each other."

Of course, it is impossible for Lu Qingjia to say that it was an iron proof obtained by retrospecting the composition of the lamp oil, but that is the case, and that is enough.

Seeing the village chief's disdainful expression of'you open your mouth,' Lu Qingjia said: "Cousin, this is very easy to investigate."

"First, work with the village to encroach on the lives of people of the same ethnic group who have already come out of the mountain. If this kind of thing is not driven by huge interests or crisis, ordinary people would not do this and continue for so many years."

"Although the village has no worries about food and clothing, it is a joke to say how good it can be to bribe the people in the city."

"Then the only restraint is to curse this one."

"What good is it for them to harm other young people? If there is no profit-driven, then only self-protection. Because if the curse list of each session can be manipulated, then there is the possibility of evasion."

"So the logic is connected. Some people don't hesitate to send other people's children to die for the long-term health of their own family."

The village head's face turned ugly.

But Lu Qingjia hadn't reached the point yet, so he continued: "Since the motivation is locked, it is easy to speculate on the logic of the behavior."

"The curse can't be created by directly writing someone's name. I'm afraid there will be a certain program in the middle? This person who cooperates with you must first meet two conditions."

"The first is that people who are able to contact the whole family outside and walk around frequently, without the slightest appearance of disharmony, means that this family usually has long sleeves and dances well and has good relations with almost all families."

"Second, his family can’t live without death. After all, there were so many people who escaped. Even if they have been scattered for many years, the number of people is limited, and they will not be able to turn to his house once. The probability is too small. Unlucky people are particularly lucky, they will attract hatred and cannot maintain condition one."

"But in today's society, it is actually impossible to fake a death."

Lu Qingjia took out his mobile phone, opened an interface, and faced the village chief and said to him: "I have selected a few people that I suspected in my heart. After a little investigation, I found that one of them has a long-term relationship with a strange account on the social network."

"Thank you for the push functions of major software now. I took some time and patience to find me, who turned out to be a son of their family who has been dead for ten years."

"However, the other party has now changed his name and changed his surname to live abroad. If there is no accident, he will never meet with the family members for the rest of his life, so it is good to hide."

The beads of sweat came out of the village chief's face, and his lips became pale.

Lu Qingjia smiled and leaned close to him and said, "Cousin, if I stabbed this out, you said that before the next three years, can I find someone to replace him?"

"No, it's not a question of whether you can find a substitute. Once things are exposed, the people outside will be suspicious of each other and completely cut off contact with each other, and most people will choose to secretly move to a place where no one knows. Don't say it then. To satisfy the curse is hard to find anyone."

"Of course I believe that the gods of the mountains can curse them with their vast magical powers, but the task that belongs to you cannot be completed, and the problem is big."

"Oh, yes, and after learning the truth, I can't guarantee that the angry tribe will not retaliate against the village."

"We must know that although no one has been so good in these years, driven by the pain of losing a child, it is still uncertain what human madness can do."

After Lu Qingjia finished speaking, the smile on his face disappeared, and the whole person's expression became arrogant: "Now, is my cousin willing to answer my question properly?"

"You, you say!"

Lu Qingjia came out from the village chief’s house to eat and drink at night. Not to mention that the village chief’s wife’s craftsmanship is not bad. The rural pork is delicious, and the twice-cooked pork fried with garlic sprouts and hot peppers is fragrant and springy, and the fish-flavored shredded pork is also very delicious. , Garlic eggplant is refreshing and appetizing.

Lu Qingjia carried the cat to the table and ate with him while eating, and the village chief was afraid to speak up.

Finally, Lu Qingjia was sent away like the village tyrant.

After Lu Qingjia returned to the room, he sent a message to the woman who was making the wedding, about the groom's family looking for her everywhere.

The woman believed in Lu Qingjia, so she told him the reason for her guess: "It is estimated that she is asking me for the jade button."

"What jade buckle?"

"That slut's ancestral, said it was passed on from male to female, and worn at any time." The woman said: "But on the day of the wedding, I took advantage of it to tear it off. I wanted to throw him and disgust him, but he died before it finished. ."

The next thing was that Lu Qingjia gave her the money. She moved away overnight. When the bridegroom's parents gathered the body, they found that the ancestral baby was missing. Checking the wedding scene monitoring, she naturally knew that she took it.

The woman didn't take it seriously at the time, and she didn't want Lu Qingjia to treat her as a money-greedy villain, so she didn't say it.

Lu Qingjia said, "Can you give me that thing?"

"Yes, I'm in XX District, XX City, come and get it anytime you want."

At this moment, who can let a woman voluntarily reveal her whereabouts, only Lu Qingjia can undoubtedly.

Lu Qingjia said, "Sure, I'll come over in a while."

"Now? You happen to be in this city?" The woman was surprised.

Lu Qingjia confessed along, but only opened any door to return to the city, bought a first-class ticket to that city at a high price, and showed up in that city three hours later.

When I found the woman, it was about ten o'clock in the evening.

When the woman opened the door, she could tell that she had been doing well these two days, and that the environment in the rented house was also good, saying that she wanted to settle down here.

After chatting for a while, he took out the jade clasp. It looked like it was some years old, but Lu Qingjia did not feel any special spiritual power.

Lu Qingjia was a little surprised. This piece of jade was worth mentioning, and it wasn't enough to make people ignore his son's new funeral and ask for it back, and he hesitated to say what to look for.

According to Lu Qingjia's guess, what women have in their hands should be very important to them.

It is important that even if the bridegroom dies, the family who comes with the bridegroom's parents can benefit from it.

Why is there only one family to come and ask for it?What Lu Qingjia can think of is that the benefits cannot be divided equally.

But now Lu Qingjia obviously couldn't feel the special features of this jade clasp, so he asked the woman, "Apart from this? What else is important to them? Think about it."

The woman thought for a long time, and finally shook her head: "No, I know that their son will have to settle the account with me if he is dead, so I walked in a hurry, so I brought documents, money, and personal belongings with me. Things, they should have found them themselves in my rental house."

Seeing Lu Qingjia frowning, the woman suddenly said, "By the way, I thought of one thing before you came."

"This jade buckle, someone asked that bitch three years ago, but that bitch didn't give it. Such a stingy and greedy guy would spend a million to buy it. He actually bit his teeth to endure it and didn't sell it."

"But then the man said that he would give him tens of thousands. After just looking at it, the slut agreed, because the slut lingered with me for a long time. I was very impressed with this."

Speaking and watching Lu Qingjia: "By the way, the person who wants to buy jade buckles looks a lot like you."
