This actor is full of tricks.

Lin Jue stared at the other person and suddenly laughed: "I told you a long time ago, don't engage in personal heroism."

"For me, this is not a choice at all."

He pointed at the shop owner and the spooky bride who were fighting with the angel of God and said, "See those spooks? They're all on our side."

The village guard was stunned. What does this have to do with this matter?

"They are being held back by the gods' messengers, and they are unable to attack the villagers." Lin Jue retracted his gaze: "But what if I kill those gods' messengers?"

The village guard pondered for a second and instantly understood what Lin Jue meant.

If the other party kills the messenger of God, then the ghosts will have free hands. If it is the ghost who takes action, then they will feel less guilty.

"You idiot! I won't attack these people!" The shop owner heard Lin Jue's words and shouted anxiously, "Don't fall into that guy's trap. He just wants you to become like him. If you really sacrifice the lives of so many people just to kill one person, what's the difference between what you do and him?"

This is an obvious conspiracy. Even if the hooded man dies, he will drag these villagers down with him. It's just a matter of who will do it.

"Don't be impatient, this is the last resort." Lin Jue's gaze shifted to Wu Xiumei next to the hooded man. The other's eyes were still full of resentment, but there was a hint of struggle and pain deep in her eyes.

Wu Xiumei looked completely irrational, but Lin Jue believed that she definitely had some rationality left.

Because when fighting with the strange bride before, the opponent used white silk to wrap up the strange bride and the old man, but only used the white silk to repel Wu Hai.

For a monster that has completely lost its mind, everyone at that time was an enemy, so why was it not treated equally?
On the surface, the act of repelling Wu Hai seems to be a bit heartless, but if you think about it from another perspective, it may be a disguised form of protection. Wu Xiumei wants to use this method to force her brother to retreat and prevent him from getting involved in this matter.

Wu Xiumei has been cooperating with the hooded man perhaps because he is the person she once loved, and his actions were also because of her, but she cannot ignore the lives of all the villagers. Her expression can tell everything.

Wu Xiumei is the root cause of the village’s current situation. If we want to solve the problem, we must start from the source.

Of course, this is just the information he inferred based on Wu Xiumei's previous actions and current expression. Whether it is exactly as he inferred still needs to be verified.

Immediately, he shouted directly to Wu Xiumei: "Wu Xiumei!"

As soon as he said these three words, the melee in the field suddenly stopped, and even the crazy villagers stopped their actions.

The hooded man was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Are you trying to distract me? What a crude trick! If I don't take the initiative to release my control, these villagers will remain like this for the rest of their lives."

"Since you're still delaying your choice, let's make things even more chaotic!"

As he spoke, he was about to blow on the red candle to deepen the villagers' madness.

But the next moment, a pale hand reached out from the side and pressed on his hand.

The hooded man's body shook, and all his madness faded away at this moment, leaving only disbelief.

He turned his head with difficulty and met a pair of eyes filled with sadness and pain. Wu Xiumei's face was no longer filled with resentment or hatred. Tears of blood streamed from her eyes and she shook her head and said, "Afeng, that's enough. Don't make any more mistakes."

Ah Feng...

The hooded man seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer, his whole body was shaking violently. Everyone called him the village defender or the soldier, and only one person knew his real name, and called him Afeng affectionately.

He hadn't heard the name in years.

"Xiumei, you..." The hooded man opened his mouth, with thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word, especially in this situation.

Everyone wants to show his best side in front of the woman he loves, instead of looking crazy like he is now.

Wu Xiumei seemed to know what the hooded man was going to say. She smiled and said, "I regained my sanity a long time ago, when you attacked the seventeen brides."

"That's good, that's good." Thousands of words finally turned into just one sentence. Even the crazy hooded man softened and shed tears at this time.

He did so much just to bring Wu Xiumei back to life. Although she has only regained a little bit of her sanity now, it proves that his method is correct.

If everything is completed successfully, the other party may really be resurrected, and then everything he has done will be worth it.

"Just one more thing, just one more thing, and I'll be able to fully revive you." The hooded man seemed to have returned to his previous mad state, muttering, "Wait for me, I'll be able to revive you in no time."

The lives of others are unimportant to him. Only Wu Xiumei in front of him is the treasure he cherishes the most. As long as he can revive her, he will do it even if his hands are covered in blood.

But he also knew that he could no longer do this. Lin Jue was watching him closely not far away. No matter what choice the other party made, he would definitely die today.

There is only one step left, it is clearly only one step left!

"Why? Why?" The hooded man staggered towards Wu Xiumei and hugged her tightly. This crazy and cold man couldn't stop the tears from flowing. He murmured, "Give me a little more time, I will succeed soon. I have already chosen the last person. As long as she repeats your experience, you can be resurrected."

Resurrecting Wu Xiumei has become his obsession, supporting his planning for several years.

"Don't be stupid again..." Wu Xiumei reached out to wipe away the tears from the hooded man's face. A strange look of infatuation appeared on his face. "When I was forced to marry, I also felt resentment, but the person who caused all this is dead."

"All the grudges disappeared at that moment."

"If I had woken up earlier, I would never have let you sink deeper into the abyss of error. Unfortunately, it's too late now. When I woke up, everything was already beyond redemption."

She touched the hooded man's face, seemingly lost in memories of the past, her eyes a little dazed. "I still remember that although Afeng was aloof, he was a very warm person. Even when he was ostracized by the villagers, he would secretly contribute to the village."

"You were always the first to rush forward. When a child in the village was seriously ill, you carried him on your back, climbing up the vine ladder step by step to the hospital in town. Even though your hands were covered in blisters, you didn't complain at all."

"You've done enough. Let them go, and let yourself go." (End of this chapter)
