It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Seven women squatted on the ground, holding hands and closing their eyes.

There were obvious cuts on her wrists, and her waist-length hair was scattered casually on the ground.

Each woman's body was covered in intricate dark patterns.

Even his face was engraved with it, and his facial features could not be seen clearly.

Without saying anything, players can guess that this is the legendary witch.

The walls, corners, and all around them were crawling with soul bugs.

The soul worm seemed to be sleeping, and the blue light it emitted flickered with its breathing.

The players held their breath, their hearts racing as they carefully examined every detail on the witches' faces.

But no matter how long they stood at the door, these people's eyes remained closed.

They hadn't spoken a word, and the system began to indicate that their mental state was decreasing.

Finally, Xiao Huai came near them and squatted next to a witch.

He said, "They are already dead."

However, the word death here should be put in quotation marks.

Their death is not the destruction of the body, but the disappearance of the soul.

Xiao Huai has the authority to use the Soul Contract unlimitedly.

There is a hidden condition in the soul contract, which is that both parties have souls.

But when he came to the witch, the soul contract interface was gray.

This means that they have lost their souls and are sleeping here forever.

Sun Xingye frowned. "Are they dead? That's not right. Why can't I read their brains?"

He could read the minds of dead people, but here, he couldn't read anyone's mind.

It means they are still alive.

Lu Zhi frowned. "Some people look like they're still alive, but they're already dead. Some people are dead, but they're still alive. I think that's the truth."

Cheng Shan patted Lu Zhi on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect you, little brother, like philosophy."

Lu Zhi looked at Cheng Shan: "No, I mean, do you remember the Soul Sacrifice Ruins that the system mentioned?"

Everyone nodded.

Lu Zhi: "I've heard my brother mention the Soul Sacrifice Ruins before. It's a very rare ritual, and he hasn't seen it many times. But NPCs who appear in Soul Sacrifice rituals often lose their souls."

He looked at the witches and said, "Exchange their souls for their hearts' wishes. How can a person with a dead soul be considered alive?"

After listening to Lu Zhi's explanation, the players couldn't help but open their eyes wide, and after a moment they gave a thumbs up.

"Lü Zhi, you're amazing. You know all this stuff. Hey, by the way, who is your brother? I haven't heard you mention him before."

When Lu Zhi heard others praising him, his ears couldn't help but turn red. "Ah... this is a secret. Unless my brother wants to meet you, you won't be able to find him at all."

"Tsk, what? So mysterious? Your brother can't be some high-ranking boss, right?"

"Uh... Can I not answer? My brother will scold me." Lu Zhi was overwhelmed by the questions he asked left and right.

The key is that he doesn't quite know how to refuse.

Xiao Huai grabbed him and glanced coldly at the crowd surrounding Lu Zhi.

"Just because they're dead doesn't mean their bodies won't move."

The moment the words fell, a chilling chill crept up his spine.

Are they all crazy? They're actually gossiping here.

Shut up right now.

Did they forget rule two - the witches' night walk starts at 9 pm, please do not disturb them easily.

Don't disturb them easily.

The players all understood what disturbing meant.

Witches walk the night, dead or alive.

"But has the night walk really started? Why don't I see anything?" I did hear a lot of strange noises.

Cheng Shan said in a low voice, and the other players nodded in agreement.

"Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it hasn't started." Xiao Huai replied in a low voice and began searching around the room for something.

He could vaguely see the outlines of some "people", like ghosts, with blurred and looming outlines.

Witches walk at night, but more likely it is the witch's power that causes the night walk.

Those ghosts include men, women, young and old, and it is definitely not a witches' parade.

It's like memory reappearing and reincarnation, repeating the same thing over and over again.

If you want to see them more clearly, your spirit value has to be lowered.

The more polluted the spiritual value is, the closer it is to the polluted world.

The closer you get to them, the more the bits and pieces hidden in the dark side will slowly appear like an hourglass.

Dangerous and deadly, but also one of the quickest ways to get an answer.

But before that, he wanted to see if there were any more clues in the room.

When others saw Xiao Huai searching for something, they began to follow suit when they thought that it was indeed the treasure hunting period.

Xiao Huai casually flipped through the things in the room, while the players searched carefully.

Some people squatted on the ground and started digging. After all, many treasures here were hidden underground.

"Hey, what is this?" Suddenly someone dug out something that looked like paper from the ground.

"I have one here too."

“There’s one in the corner.”

"Uh...this little witch has one hidden under her hair too."

The reason they were so sure they had the same thing was that the papers were made of gold.

Although thin, it is well preserved.

Each piece of golden paper was inscribed with the words: "Give me a peach, and I will give you a jade in return."

Lu Zhi frowned. "Give me a peach in return? That doesn't mean..."

"Repay a favor." Xiao Huai and Lu Zhi spoke at the same time again.

This time, Lu Zhi and Xiao Huai reached a tacit understanding. When they looked at each other, trust was conveyed in their eyes.

Lu Zhi received Xiao Huai's eye signal, took a deep breath, and said:

"This phrase is used to express gratitude. If it is buried here, does it mean that the purpose of the soul sacrifice ceremony is to repay a favor?"

"Ah? This is ridiculous. Have you forgotten what the witches in Rule 1 are? Witches are all bad guys. How could these guys repay a favor?" Several players immediately denied Lu Zhi's speculation.

In people's stereotypes, witches always have a bad image.

In many Earth games, witches are portrayed as ugly villains who like to make poison.

Isn’t the witch in Snow White a typical example? She has left a shadow in the memories of many children.

In the Middle Ages, there were also numerous religious cases of witches being burned alive.

For most of the players present, it was difficult to associate the word witch with repaying a favor.

Because once we are sure that they are repaying a favor, we will make them admit that their prejudice is wrong.

Xiao Huai picked up a piece of gold hidden in a secret place, and he touched every word on the gold piece.

It seems as if I want to feel how they felt when they wrote the words.

"They shouldn't be defined." Xiao Huai raised his eyes, his voice was cold and there was no emotion in his tone.

But there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

He looked at everyone and said, "No one is qualified to judge good and evil."

What's more, there is no boundary between good and evil.

One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a devil.
