Real Game: I Exposed the Old Ones

Chapter 203 Act One: First Entry

As the actors enter the stage, their clothing begins to change adaptively.

A ray of light suddenly appeared.

Immediately, light enveloped the actor and teleported him to the designated location.

Then the whole village rumbled and shook.

A weak, but different Qi movement emerged.

In Zhu Zheng's senses, Zangling Village seemed to come alive and was officially given life.

[Theatrical Yellow Seal] A message appears again.

[The stage is ready. Actors are invited to enter the stage and present a wonderful performance to the great being. 】

[Act 1: First entry. 】

[Requirement: Successfully integrate into Zangling Village. 】

[Note: Your interaction and interpretation with plot characters will determine your score, and those who fail will be eliminated. 】

Take a deep breath.

The theater in yellow clothes, let the paper wedding dress begin.

Zhu Zheng followed a group of actors into the village entrance.

A ray of light enveloped him.

The vision enters a state of temporary blindness, accompanied by a strong feeling of dizziness.

The dizziness dissipated after a while.

Zhu Zheng gradually saw the scene in front of him clearly.

At this time, he was standing on a dirt road in the countryside.

There are green crop fields on both sides, and in front is a village entrance built with a simple earthen wall.

What do I do next?

Zhu Zheng was thinking in his mind.

Anna, it's my turn to hide and seek this time, why haven't you come to me yet?

A boy suddenly jumped out from the side and said dissatisfiedly.

The boy was wearing a trousers and vest, which was dirty, with dirt and vegetable leaves still on his head.

Apparently, he had been hiding in the nearby crop field just now.

Based on the boy's words, it was inferred that 'I' was playing a hide-and-seek game with him just now.

But do you really want to show off?

Zhu Zheng fell into a brief state of sluggishness.

However, this brief delay caused the [Yellow Seal of Theater] branded on his body to react.

Slight fever.

Then, a wave of malice emerged from the surroundings.

Faintly, the outlines of several tentacled arms could be seen emerging.

There is a time limit.

Once you 'over travel', the yellow seal of the theater will attract the punisher.

Zhu Zheng felt a chill in his heart.

But a smile quickly appeared on his face: You hid it so well that I couldn't find it.

The world of children is always simple, and a simple compliment can make them happy for a long time.

The boy's mood changed from cloudy to sunny, and he instantly forgot his anger just now, and said with a smile: Then I'll hide again, Anna, come and find me.

While Zhu Zheng was speculating in his mind about the role he played, he grabbed the boy and said in a childish tone: Wait a minute, it's almost dinner time now, I should go home.

Let's play for a while longer.

If you go back late, grandma will be angry.

oh.

The boy immediately looked crestfallen.

But he still walked towards the village.

As the plot of Jindao continues to advance, the tentacle-shaped arm in the void disappears again, and the malice dissipates.

Zhu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickened his pace and walked to the boy's side, whispering insinuatingly.

Soon, he learned the following information from the boy.

The boy's name is Niu Kailang and he is the head of the village.

Because they are similar in age, he and Anna soon became good playmates.

While joking, the two walked into the village.

Because the houses in the village are very scattered and the number of villagers is not large, Zhu Zheng did not meet other villagers along the way.

Walk all the way to the big locust tree in the central square of the village.

Niu Kailang pointed in a direction and said: Anna, you just said you are not familiar with the village and can't find your home. Well, that's your home.

Following Niu Kailang's guidance, Zhu Zheng saw his 'own home'.

An ordinary low tiled house.

A small courtyard was built with a wooden fence, and smoke was still rising from the courtyard.

However, Zhu Zheng looked stunned.

Because not far from my home, there is a black, rather luxurious and magnificent four-entry courtyard.

There are three words written on the plaque at the entrance of the courtyard: Burial Temple.

The Burial Temple seems to be related to the main plot line.

Pointing to the Burial Temple, he pretended to be curious and asked, Where is that place?

That's the Zun Zun Temple, the most important place in the village. It's very lively here especially during temple fairs.

How about we go shopping inside? Zhu Zheng encouraged.

Niu Kailang almost shook his head like a rattle.

Grandpa never let me enter the temple. Last time I sneaked in, he hung me up and beat me for a long time.

As he was talking, a woman's voice came from a distance calling him to eat.

Niu responded cheerfully and ran away in a hurry.

Zhu Zheng took a deep look at the Burial Temple, withdrew his gaze and came to the door of his house.

The door is open.

There is a slightly old dining table in the yard.

Under the eaves, an old man squatted and smoked a dry cigarette. In the kitchen on one side, an old lady with silver hair was burning firewood for cooking.

When the old man saw Zhu Zheng coming back, a happy expression appeared on his wrinkled face, and he waved to Zhu Zheng: My son is back, come and wash your hands quickly, your grandma is cooking.

These two people are the grandparents in the play.

Judging from the situation in the old house, life was pretty good.

Zhu Zheng sat obediently at the dinner table.

At this time, grandma also came over with food, a kind smile on her face.

Anna, stay at home a few more days this summer vacation.

Well, I'll be here until the end of summer vacation.

It can be seen that the two of them are really happy.

In addition to rice porridge and porridge, there are two meat dishes on the table, which are fragrant.

Grandpa even took out the liquor and poured a glass of it.

At the dinner table, the two old men asked many questions, mostly concerned about Anna's living conditions outside.

Zhu Zheng responded obediently.

It was fun for a while.

During this period, Zhu Zheng deliberately brought the topic to the burial temple.

Grandma put down the bowls and chopsticks and suddenly said: Anna, the situation is special these days. Don't go out at night. Also, don't go to the nearby Burial Temple.

Why?

It gets dark early at night, so the village is not safe, and in two days it will be the official day for worshiping and burying the deceased.

At this moment, Zhu Zheng caught a hint of fear in grandma's eyes.

Zhu Zheng asked casually: What is the sacrifice and burial of the deity?

Grandma wanted to say something else, but Grandpa paused his wine glass, interrupting the conversation.

Old woman, I'm still young, why are you talking about this?

My dear, tell me, how many sets of papers did you bring back during the summer vacation? Your father told me that I must do three sets of papers a day.

Zhu Zheng's face froze.

The moon hung high in the sky, and darkness enveloped the entire village.

Zhu Zheng yawned and said, Grandpa, these papers are finished.

He didn't do it intentionally.

But once rejected, the theater yellow seal will become slightly warm.

Obviously, for a junior high school student, doing test papers is also part of the performance.

In desperation, I could only start doing the questions under the supervision of two old people.

Grandpa picked up the test paper and pretended to check it.

My dear, it's getting late. Go to bed early.

Um.

Zhu Zheng responded.

Returning to the small room specially set aside for himself, he listened to the sounds of deep sleep that gradually began to sound.
