As soon as he heard that the footprints belonged to Tang Jiao, Liu Chengfeng's eyes widened:
"Holy ... shit it's actually her!"
Bai Xiaoxia rolled her eyes.
"Come on, bearded man, is that so surprising?"
"Everyone went out to visit the attractions in the afternoon to look for clues, only she went to the nearest Binding Nightmare Shrine ... Of course, she might not have gone at all, anyway, there are not a few truthful words coming out of her mouth at all."
Liu Chengfeng said angrily:
"I knew this bitch wasn't a good thing, before in the room it was called a meeting in a beautiful name, but it turned out to be dictating to everyone and tricking us into using it as a gun!"
"Now ... actually want to harm us!"
Ning Qiushui kept staring at the ground and suddenly said:
"Sister Bai, give me the torch."
Bai Xiaoxia nodded and handed Ning Qiushui the special torch that could illuminate the footprints on the ground.
Ning Qiushui turned on the torch and followed the footprints around the room, eventually stopping in front of the huge wardrobe.
He carefully surveyed the wardrobe, then groped up and down, and finally felt out a wooden sign in a wooden slit in an extremely hidden and broken corner of the wardrobe.
There was a red string attached to this wooden sign, on which was written a word that all three of them were very familiar with - Ruan.
After seeing this wooden sign, Bai Xiaoxiao's gaze flickered.
Liu Chengfeng also seemed to understand something and exclaimed.
"Last night, the burnt ghost in your room, Little Brother, was looking for this sign?"
Ning Qiushui nodded.
"Probably."
"This sign should be something that only people from the Ruan clan can have, at least us tourists from outside can't just get it, and for Tang Jiao to be able to get so many Ruan clan members' signs, she must have already met with the village's Ruan Goddess ..."
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows slightly: .
"Is ... the Ruan Divine Mother instructing Tang Jiao to do all of this?"
Ning Qiushui sighed.
"Yes, this is also the worst case scenario."
"We, as foreign tourists, have no idea about the village touring theThe understanding of the ghosts in Dang is definitely far inferior to that of Divine Mother Ruan, if she wants to use these ghosts to kill us, it's simply impossible to defend against them!"
Liu Chengfeng didn't understand .
"But we have no grievances with Divine Mother Ruan, why would she do that?"
Ning Qiushui was silent for a moment.
"I guess it might have something to do with the Temple Festival six days from now!"
"Big Beard, do you remember that diary from our first copy?"
Liu Chengfeng nodded.
"Of course I remember ... the little girl's mother answered a phone call, Grandpa said that Grandma's body was deteriorating rapidly, and it looked like she was going to die, so she needed the little girl's mother to go back, but the little girl's mother decisively refused at that time."
"And later on, after learning that the grandmother died, the little girl's mother felt very fearful, as if she was afraid of something looking for her, and even specifically went to get a piece of blood jade from nowhere to give the little girl a body protector ..."
When Liu Chengfeng said this, the whole person was suddenly stunned as he muttered.
"Little brother, do you mean ... that little girl's grandmother, is the village's Ruan Shenma?"
Ning Qiushui said.
"That's right."
"The little girl's mother is the daughter of Ruan Shenwu, and was bound to grow up inside the village as a child, so she definitely knows something ... And the sudden deterioration of Ruan Shenwu's body is probably not caused by any disease, but rather, it has something to do with the ghosts in the village!"
"I guess that the one behind our first bloody doorIn the timeline, this Prayer Village ... is out of control!"
"Those ghosts that harbour extreme grievances are seeking revenge on Ruan!"
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but suck in a breath of cool air when he thought of that scene: .
"What in the world has this Ruan clan of his grandmother's ... done to deserve the wrath of the heavens and the people to be able to create such terrifyingly severe ghosts like that?"
Then, he seemed to have figured something out.
"The person ... that the human skinned female ghost that we met in Fangchu Pond before wanted us to bring over wouldn't be the Ruan Divine Woman, would it?!"
Bai Xiaoxiao patted Liu Chengfeng's shoulder rather gratefully.
"The bearded man can ah, grow a brain!"
Liu Chengfeng was speechless.
"So what do we do next?"
"Go straight to Divine Mother Ruan and tie her up in Fangchun Pond?"
Ning Qiushui shook her head.
"There are so many stern ghosts in this village that want to kill the Ruan clan members, but they're still alive and well, so I think there should be some powerful skills that aren't that easy to deal with."
"It's better to think about how to deal with the person who put this sign into our room first ..."
Both of them knew that he was talking about Tang Jiao.
"How else can we deal with it, how she screwed us, we'll screw her!"
"Let's hide all the cards in her room, and let her experience what it's like to be stared at by a ghost at nightTaste!"
Liu Chengfeng was as cynical as he was hateful, and the moment he mentioned Tang Jiao, he was filled with anger.
"But I still don't understand one thing, what exactly does she have to gain by helping an NPC to mess with us?"
"With more of us dead, and even less people to help her find clues to survival, isn't she in more danger?"
Facing Liu Chengfeng's question, Bai Xiaoxiao explained:
"The Blood Gate has two very strange hidden rules, the first is that when more than 90% of the number of people who have died in a Blood Gate have entered, then the difficulty of the Blood Gate quests will attenuate drastically, and the limitations of the ghosts in there to strike out at people will also increase, just like that place in the Square Inch Pond just now, if there is only Qiu Shui left alone as a living person, that human-skinned female ghost won't be able to strike out at him easily, and will need to havea precognitive trigger condition, and that condition is not easily triggered."
"The second hidden rule is that blood must be seen within the Blood Gate ...!"
"If there is a powerful person who has found the way of life before everyone is dead ... then this way of life will randomly reduce the number of people sheltered, and the ghosts in the copy will randomly choose up to 1/10 of the number of people to kill!"
"Lastly is the compensation mechanism, if only one person in a Blood Sect ends up coming out alive ... then he will inevitably receive a ghost weapon gifted by the Blood Sect!"
As soon as these last words came out, Ning and Liu immediately changed their faces!
"Driven by great interests, even the craziest things will be done."
Bai Xiaoxiao seemed to be unfamiliar with this.
"That's why the people who team up inside the duplicates are almost all in groups of two or three from the same Guile House, you rarelyPeople from different forces will be seen combining into one team."
"As for putting these wooden tiles in Tang Jiao's room it's not impossible."
"But her door is locked, we'll have to find a way to unlock it."
At this time, Liu Chengfeng hemmed and hawed.
"No need to be so troublesome, just find a wire, leave the rest to me."
The duo looked at him with some surprise.
"You still know this?"
Liu Chengfeng seemed to have sensed the duo's strange gaze. He gave a dry cough:
"In advance, this skill was taught to me by my master back then, I haven't done anything bad with it ... and nowIn a society that's governed by the law, with my skills it's more than enough to eat, there's no need to take the risk of doing something like this."
The two nodded, they quickly found a wire and handed it to Liu Chengfeng, only to see him bending the wire and fiddling with it to make strange shapes, then the three of them came to the door of Tang Jiao's room, and after confirming that there was nothing around them, Liu Chengfeng made some skilful thrusts, and the three of them heard a slight sound coming from the lock's eye.
The door ... opened.
