Hang up to study, I became a master of esoteric religion

From the current point of view, Yuanzi only knows that the game shaken by the system is related to "Cthulhu Mythos" and "The King in Yellow". She has not found any elements other than the two books.

"I'm a Witch Apprentice... What is a witch, a woman with magical powers?"

Mariko finished analyzing these things, slowly opened his eyes, and saw a dry stone wall, a floor mat made of straw, and no wooden bed.

There are very few indoor furniture, only some bookshelves made of wood, wooden storage boxes, and some black clothes on hangers.

The only metal decorations are a copper oil lamp, a rusty iron dagger, and a copper chain pendant.

Apart from these things, there are no other metal things.

Then came the body functions, Mariko quietly felt the muscle tension in his body.

So weak, so weak!

Such a weak body is somewhat weaker than the real body.

But no matter how weak it is, it is not so weak that it will fall when the wind blows.

Yuanzi pinched her own flesh, her skin was dull and dull, and she seemed to be short of nutrition for a long time, and she was not very healthy.

Make a fist and hit the air, move in a small area, and the Mariko test will be completed in half a minute.

In terms of muscles, she only has the strength level of a normal woman, not supernormal strength, so it can be regarded as the start of an ordinary person.

If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, there is also "Mystery Ritual: Please Me" to cover the bottom line, but Mariko hopes that this trick will not be used as much as possible.

This trick can only be used for 1 minute, and you have to wait a day before using it, which is quite limited.

In addition, such a weak physical foundation is too low, even if he practices "Mystery Ritual: Phantom" every day, he can only cultivate his body to the point of surpassing human beings, and cannot cultivate to the point of recovering from severed limbs.

If you want to become stronger in this game, you probably have to start with the "witch" knowledge mentioned in the system background.

Mariko was wearing a black singlet and boxer shorts at this time.

Walking to the hanger, I saw a black and white Lolita skirt, the most luxurious dress in the hanger.

The daily clothes are a pointed hat robe, and Mariko puts on a black short skirt and a pointed hat robe, which just cover her exposed thighs and calves.

There are also some diaries, village notebooks, and a very important "Self-cultivation of a Witch" on the bookshelf.

Yuanzi didn't read the book, she wanted to find Yan Qianqian to read these things again.

Putting on black leather boots, pushing open the wooden door, I saw a stone auditorium outside the door, two groups of five rows of wooden benches, and a round stone altar.

There is a metal oil lamp on the stone altar, and the lamp oil has long since dried up, leaving no drop.

Yuanzi looked at the environment in the auditorium, and realized after a while that she was living inside a church, her bedroom was just leading to the auditorium, and outside the auditorium was a poor village.

Yuanzi went to the middle of the auditorium and looked to the right, and saw an underground stone step leading to the ground. Yuanzi did not go down to be cautious, and swiped the system to call on behalf of him.

The system didn't activate the agent, so she walked out of the church to find Yan Qianqian.

……

Yan Qianqian's consciousness sank in the dream, then suddenly rose again, and the next moment she woke up.

What came into view was the dry and cracked farmland. Skinny men and women in linen shirts stooped to pick up a weed, stuffed it into their mouths and chewed it carefully.

"Why don't you eat? If you don't eat, you will starve to death, sister." A skinny girl who was younger than her stepped on the ground with bare feet and came over to force a piece of grass root.

Yan Qianqian is a modern person, but she can't stand eating grass roots, so she politely refuses with a smile.

She uses her eyes to quickly memorize the people and things on the scene, and analyze the materials of their clothes.

After a few seconds, she came to a rough conclusion that this might be an ancient village with low productivity, otherwise why would she look for grass roots to eat.

Looking around, the trees here don't even have leaves, the trees are as thin as stalks, and the green vegetation is extremely rare. Most of the plants can tell at a glance that they are short of water, and they are about to turn yellow and dry up and die.

At this time, some green weeds can be picked and devoured, which is considered lucky.

"Why don't you eat, eat, sister." The younger sister with this body put a blank face, and forced the grass root to Yan Qianqian's mouth, "Eat! Eat her!"

"No, I'm not hungry, you can eat first." Qianqian pushed back and let her skinny sister eat.

The younger sister's body is really thin, even the shape of the bones can be seen, and the skin is yellow and dark. It can be seen that the skin has received too much ultraviolet rays and is too tanned.

Yan Qianqian also looked at her skin. She was also skinny, with yellowish-black skin, a typical appearance of a hungry person.

Seeing the poor quality of this pair of bodies, Yan Qianqian was worried for a moment, wondering if Yuanzi would hate her after seeing her, after all, Yuanzi is a dog.

Yan Qianqian has lived with Yuanzi for so long, so she naturally knows Yuanzi's preferences. Yuanzi has extremely high requirements for appearance, and things with ordinary appearance cannot catch her eyes.

"Eat! You eat!"

The younger sister suddenly yelled, staring at Yan Qianqian with deep sunken eyes like a bewildered person, as if it was wrong not to eat.

It was also the younger sister's voice, the parents looked back, their numb faces were lifeless, and they glanced at Yan Qianqian, staring at Yan Qianqian with hairs.

As a result, the parents turned around three seconds later and continued to bend down to pick grass and eat.

The younger sister continued to be nervous, shouting "eat" and "you eat".

Seeing this scene, Yan Qianqian felt sorry for them.

Chapter 249 The Hungry Ghost

"Good day, Ms. Yuan."

"Good day."

Yuanzi walked on the edge of the dry and cracked farmland, and greeted the peasants who were numb and said hello.

Yuanzi's eyes were not focused on those skinny farmers, but her eyes were always searching for that figure.

She walked around the village just now, and there was no one in every room. Only when she walked out of the village did she realize that all the people in the village were looking for food, and those who didn't look for food would starve to death on the road today.

Cook without rice!

This was an unprecedented famine. Not only did the villagers have no rice in their homes, but even the church where Yuanzi lived did not have rice for disaster relief. Yuanzi knew this when he asked the villagers.

"Do you know where Yan Qianqian is?"

"Good day, Ms. Yuan, the Yan family, I seem to see them going in that direction." A hungry civilian pointed to the farmland in the east.

A thousand meters away from the farmland ahead, a group of people were picking grass roots and eating them. Many people swallowed them raw, which made Yuanzi feel terrified.

"Can't you take it back and cook it?"

In this era, there are clay pots, and it is still possible to boil weeds.

A starving man was hungry like a ghost, lying on the ground and gnawing weeds.

Another hungry person had just finished eating a weed and had something to fill his stomach, so he had the strength to reply Yuanzi: "Ms. Yuan, we are so hungry, we can't hold on."

Yuanzi thought, this is too miserable.

After walking hundreds of steps, Yuanzi asked all the way, and finally found the six members of the Yan family.

"Excuse me, do you know where Yan Qianqian is?"

"It's right there, Ms. Yuan." A passerby pointed the way in a respectful tone.

Yuanzi looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and saw two old people, two middle-aged people, and a pair of sisters in the Yan family.

Among them, the taller sister is Yan Qianqian. Yuanzi didn't recognize her at first, because Yan Qianqian's appearance was too different from before.

Dark skin, a dry body like a bone, a body that looks fragile, wearing a brown linen shirt, the clothes are full of patches.

The quality of the hair is also quite poor, and the nutritional deficiency is serious.

When Yuanzi asked for directions, Yan Qianqian didn't turn her head, but covered her face with her hands, not daring to look at Yuanzi, wondering what Yuanzi would think when she saw herself like this.

This made Yan Qianqian afraid to see each other, hoping that Yuanzi would not see her.

But on the other hand, she wanted Yuanzi to see her very much. She couldn't explain what kind of strange mood this was.

Yan Qianqian's mind split into two people, fighting with each other, and their mentality was contradictory to a certain height.

Yuanzi didn't stop at this time, and took the initiative to walk over to Yan Qianqian.

She was wearing a black pointed hat and round gown, and she was the most prominent person in the audience.

Compared with the thin skin of the starving people, Yuanzi's skin quality was ordinary, but it crushed countless hungry people.

Yan Qianqian's younger sister looked at Yuanzi, and stopped yelling at her sister for eating weeds, but put the grass behind her back to protect her, not daring to show Yuanzi, and pressed her sister's head, and the two bowed their heads together.

The younger sister called out respectfully: "Good day, Ms. Yuan."

"Good day, I'll have a word with Yan Qianqian."

Yan Qianqian's younger sister didn't move her head, and let go of her hand that was holding her down.

"Qianqian?" Yuanzi called softly.

When Yan Qianqian heard Yuanzi calling her nickname, her body trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her head.

Yuanzi saw Yan Qianqian's thin, dark yellow face, his eyelids were slightly sunken, and his skin seemed to be dry and cracked. His body function was much worse than hers.

"Come on, I have something to tell you... I'll borrow it from your little Qian." Yuanzi said to Qianqian, and then said to Yan's parents.

The Yan family's parents nodded slightly, concentrating on looking for grass to eat, and did not plan to ask carefully.

Yuanzi took Yan Qianqian away, and when Yan Qianqian was held hands, he felt the warmth from Yuanzi's palm, and immediately knew that he was worrying too much.

"What's the matter, you don't recognize me?" Yuanzi took her hand and walked to the deserted farmland on the left, smiling slightly.

"No, I'm just a little confused." Yan Qianqian shook her head and smiled.

It's just that because her face was too thin, she didn't look good when she smiled. Yuanzi looked at it, and felt even more blocked. She really wanted to change her body to the other person so that she could bear the pain.

"Let's not talk about that, let me talk about the dream inspiration of this trip." Yuanzi pulled Qianqian over to exchange information.

After a while, Yan Qianqian learned about "Witch" and "Black Famine" from Yuanzi.

"Sure enough, this is not a sci-fi copy." Yan Qianqian heard this and thought for a while, "Witch sounds like a noun related to occultism. You are an apprentice. First, I read the "Witch Cultivation" you mentioned that I haven't read yet. "Let's talk about it, maybe there is a solution to the famine."

Speaking of this, the two stomachs croaked differently, and the noise was very loud.

Yan Qianqian's complexion changed, and she squatted down slowly, clutching her hungry stomach, her face contorted into one piece.

"Very hungry, very hungry." Yan Qianqian murmured in a low voice, showing a painful expression.

Yuanzi was also very hungry, but his reaction was not as strong as that of Yan Qianqian.

"What to do, I didn't bring any food either."

Yuanzi touched the pockets of the black robe on his body, only the rusty dagger he brought out for self-defense, and the copper pendant of unknown meaning.

The copper pendant was a ram's horn, which was not of much use in Yuanzi's view, and might be a status symbol of the Witch Apprentice.

At this time, Yan Qianqian's bewildered sister came over and handed a grass root to Yan Qianqian's mouth like lightning.

"Eat! Eat it!" cried the younger sister with deeply sunken pupils.

Yan Qianqian was so hungry that her stomach was about to burst. Seeing the grass root no matter how much she resisted, she couldn't bear the feeling of hunger, so she had to bite half of it and put it in her mouth.

Along the way, Yuanzi saw many people gnawing at grass roots. She didn't expect that Yan Qianqian, the soul of modern people, could talk about it, and she admired and felt sorry for her.

The younger sister of the Yan family looked at the remaining half of the grass root, and looked at Yuanzi hesitantly. She didn't want to give it to Yuanzi, but due to the difference in status, she hesitated to give the half grass root to Yuanzi.

Yuanzi waved his hand, "Forget it, you eat, I'm not hungry yet."

Yuanzi pulled out a smiling face, she really didn't dare to say anything, and she wasn't so hungry that she had to eat.

When the younger sister of the Yan family heard the words, she immediately stuffed half of the grass root to Yan Qianqian.

Yan Qianqian was so hungry that his eyes were so hungry that his eyes were starved, and his mouth made a hungry chewing sound. After chewing, he stretched out his mouth and ate half of the grass root into his mouth, and continued to chew.

"Are you okay?" Yuanzi looked at Yan Qianqian, feeling something was wrong.

This is almost inhumanely hungry, like a real hungry ghost.

Yan Qianqian barely regained her spirits until she had chewed the whole grass root into her stomach, clutching her stomach that was feeling the tearing pain, and said with a bitter face, "I'm so hungry..."

Yuanzi looked at the hungry Qianqian, and then at the hungry people around him. No one stopped, they were all walking forward to find edible weeds.

At this time, even if it is yellow and shriveled weeds, some people pick them up and chew them raw, without even cooking them.

Seeing such an absurd scene, Mariko felt her stomach getting hungrier.
