Nightmare Attack

Chapter 145 Conspiracy
"The doctor in the village has already come to see her," the man said, "There is nothing serious about it. Before leaving, the doctor specially told Hong Niang that she needs to rest."

"That's it." Jiang Cheng looked at the closed door and nodded with regret, "Then don't bother me."

"The expert walks slowly."

On the way back, Chen Xiaomeng looked at Jiang Cheng from time to time, but the latter looked like an old god, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"That man has a problem," Chen Xiaomeng said, "Honghong seems to be very afraid of him, and it's not like she can say words like whether a man and a woman kiss or not, it was taught to her by a man."

Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes to block the oncoming sunset, and replied casually: "Of course there is a problem, otherwise how could he choose to come out to tidy up the vegetable fields at this time, obviously he saw us coming, and then he hurried out."

The sun is about to set, and night is approaching. The night is undoubtedly a nightmare for the villagers, but this man chooses to go out to tidy up the vegetable field at this time. It is hard not to be suspicious.

Chen Xiaomeng added: "Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like he's here to do farm work. The pair of leather shoes he's wearing are quite new."

A strange man, dressed neatly and cleanly, said that he came to Honghong's house to help with farm work.
Thinking of this, the two stopped talking. Now that they have seen through the man's disguise, the next step is to judge the man's purpose.

This is also very simple, work is fake, surveillance is real.

The man's real purpose was to prevent them from contacting the Honghong family, so as to prevent them from obtaining certain information.

It was probably arranged by the village head and the others.

There is a high probability that Chen Xiaomeng and his party's visit to the village aroused their vigilance.

Along the way, although some of the nearby houses were low and dilapidated, judging from the vegetables in the garden and the few pieces of rags hanging out, they were all inhabited.

But never saw anyone come out and walk around.

Chen Xiaomeng paused, then lowered her voice and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it." Jiang Cheng interrupted.

"Do you know what I'm going to ask?" Chen Xiaomeng asked in surprise.

Jiang Cheng kept walking, and replied casually: "You can't figure out if ghosts kill people at this speed, why are there still so many men in the village after 20 years?"

Chen Xiaomeng's eyes widened.

"But you understand now," Jiang Cheng tilted his head and glanced at her, "Don't you?"

Chen Xiaomeng took a deep breath, not knowing whether it was for Jiangcheng or the village, and then said slowly, "It's the village chief."

She looked far-sighted at the abandoned building of the Qian family, which was clearly a section higher than the other houses, and her tone was thought-provoking: "The village chief invited us to live in the Qian family compound because the ghosts targeted the Qian family, and we live in Here, the ghosts will kill us as the Qian family, and the rest of the village will be safe for the time being."

"This is also the secret of the continuation of this old village in the deep mountains. I think that every once in a while, some outsiders will be invited into Xiaoshijian Village for various reasons, and then live in the Qian's compound, and eventually die."

The information they collected from Anping Town also verified this point.

From time to time, outsiders disappeared after going to Xiaoshijian Village, and the woman who broke into the Anping Hotel to find her husband was also dressed differently from the people nearby, and she might also be an outsider who was tricked into the village.

And the husband of the woman has already died in the hands of the ghost.

This also explains why the people in Anping Town reject the people in Xiaoshijian Village so much.

Just like the old man raising livestock on the edge of the town said, don't have anything to do with the people in this village, they...represent bad luck.

Jiang Cheng looked at the woman in front of him with great interest.

He doesn't reject bad people, because bad people are bad for a reason, but he hates idiots, because there is no reason to be stupid, they are just stupid.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaomeng is not stupid, she is much better than two self-righteous idiots, Pei Qian and Zhou Rong tied together, which is why Jiangcheng came to her.

In a nightmare, neither the good nor the bad will necessarily die, only the stupid.

"Do you know the way out of here?" Chen Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows and asked.

"do not know."

"It's rare," Chen Xiaomeng suddenly smiled, "Fortunately, I know you."

"Are you leaving now?"

"Otherwise? Wait for the village chief to tear us apart?" Chen Xiaomeng shrugged, then took out the fruit, and took a small bite indifferently.

The fruit doesn't look big, but it's very juicy, Jiangcheng is so hungry, his throat can't help rolling up and down, "If I want to go, I have to go at night, I'm going to Honghong's house to have a look."

"Up to you." Chen Xiaomeng threw away the fruit core casually.

After returning to the yard, it was completely dark. Fortunately, the charcoal fire in the room was still burning, and there was no one in the empty room.

Li Lu and Yu Man did not come back.

"Where are they?" Chen Xiaomeng asked.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Jiang Cheng hummed, "I didn't go out with them this morning."

This time has not come back, something must have happened.

It's just unclear whether they encountered ghosts, or they also saw through the plot of the village chief and others, and then were discovered by the latter, and were eventually controlled or killed.

Jiang Cheng had thought about the balance of the mission before. According to the existing clues, the ghosts in this mission did not kill women, but this by no means meant that female players could sit back and relax in this mission.

According to Jiang Cheng's understanding, although the nightmare looks very strange, it is actually operated by a set of meticulous and complicated mechanisms. Every matched player has the same probability of survival at the beginning of the mission.

Maybe the ghost's preferences are slightly more friendly to women, but according to fair rules, this kind of friendliness will be made up for by the other part's malice.

He could almost imagine the consequences of two good-looking young women getting lost in this village alone.

They shouldn't die, what they will know is that life is worse than death.

Chen Xiaomeng also realized this, and her complexion darkened as she was also a woman, "When you go to Honghong's house at night, pay attention to the movement around you, if we can rescue them, we will spend the cost of trial and error at Anping Hotel." It will be lowered a lot.”

"Tsk," Jiang Cheng looked at her expressionlessly.

Chen Xiaomeng was not interested in the life and death of Li Lu and Yu Man, she just rejected the behavior of the villagers from the bottom of her heart, and she chose to find a chance to save them in order to squeeze out their remaining value and use them to help her.

Reason is above emotion, this is a woman who knows what is important, and Jiang Cheng is very satisfied with her.

In contrast, Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of the unbelievable fat man at home, and... his irresistible stewed pork ribs with cabbage.
