do you see the horns on my head
Chapter 42 Headless Ghost
"Wait a minute, put this on." Melona turned around suddenly, took out a thick Muxie robe from the cabinet and gave it to Lin Xihai, touched his jacket and said, "Xihai, you wear too little, now It's cold, be careful of catching a cold."
"Ouch, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk." Mr. Huang couldn't help making a comprehensible voice, gave a smirk, and then froze for a moment, as if he heard something in his head, he quickly put on an unhappy expression The face said: "I know you have a deep brotherhood, don't show it in front of me. If you want to bury someone, stop talking about it and go away."
As expected, the cold air outside the house became heavier, and the whole village seemed to be covered by a layer of gray fog. The plateau village, which was originally pleasant and happy, seemed lifeless. For some reason, it always reminded Heinrich of the corpse in the holy lake. Face.
"I know that a small road in the opposite direction leads to the outside of the village. You follow me, and don't let others find that we slipped out." Meiruona tightened the Muxi clan robes she had just put on, and warned.
The two of them followed Melona, because of the natural disaster, the doors and windows of every house were closed.Countless small colorful flags tied on thin threads fluttered in the wind, and compared with the heavy snow in the distance, they looked very bleak.
Melona took them to the end of the village, where there was a vermilion stone tower, the original gray color of the stone had been exposed due to the sun and rain, and scattered stones were scattered on the ground, it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
"This is the place for living sacrifices. It was abandoned 20 years ago, and the villagers are generally unwilling to come here." Melona said with a gloomy face and pointed to the stone tower: "The red color on it is not paint."
Heinrich trembled when he heard the words, and he observed the stone tower up and down. Such things must have unusual meanings in the game.Although this stone tower looks very gloomy and gives people a chilling feeling, there is nothing special so far.But now is not the time to think about it. If the corpse is not disposed of immediately, their lives may be in danger.
So the three of them quietly walked past the stone pagoda and hid in a dark forest. After turning many turns, they finally got out of the forest.This is not the main road they chose before, but a small road leaning against the cliff, with an abyss on one side. Because of the avalanche just now, the snow is still falling down, which makes people feel frightened.
"We walk close to the mountain wall, wizards and they won't find us." Melona said.Having already come here, Heinrich and Mr. Huang have no other choice but to walk on the cliff step by step.
It is difficult to walk on thin ice, but the snow is very easy to walk, and the road is not too narrow.I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but they walked very fast, and after a while, they saw a small bush appearing in front of them.
"Go in." Melona said softly, pushed through the bushes and got in. Huang Meimei and Lin Xihai looked at each other and walked into this legendary "paradise" forbidden place.
It was getting darker, and even the flowers and plants in the forbidden area were no longer so fresh. They walked quickly to the edge of the holy lake, but found that the lake was empty, let alone corpses, and there were not even any other living things.
"What's going on here? Did someone dispose of the corpse in advance?" Heinrich squatted down to check it, and walked half a circle around the lake unwillingly, asking unwillingly.
Meruna's expression turned even worse.He murmured in the same place: "He was deceived. He didn't die for love but committed suicide in the holy lake. He failed to enter the kingdom of love and death. I'm afraid he will become a headless ghost!"
"What is a headless ghost?" The bottomless lake became more terrifying because of Melona's words, and Heinrich took a step back and asked.
"Headless ghosts are dead ghosts in vain. They can't enter the kingdom of love and death, and they are unwilling to just wander in the world like this, so they look for substitutes everywhere." Melona frowned, and slowly moved towards the bushes.
At this time, footsteps suddenly came from the woods, and all three of them were startled, and they heard a voice like a silver bell shouting loudly: "Abba, don't say that, brother Ana is the priest's nephew, by The high priest brought it up with his own hands, how could he deliberately bring outsiders in to make the ceremony impossible?"
The three of Heinrich glanced at each other and knew that Mu Qingqing and his party had arrived, so they tiptoed back to the bushes just now. Fortunately, there was no snow in the forbidden area, so their footsteps would not be noticed by others.
Through the bushes, Heinrich saw that Melona's uncle, Ao Muqingqing Ze, who was wearing a robe just now, and six or seven other people came to the center of the forbidden area.
The elder-like man said: "Qingqing, you are young and don't know the past. The clear spring under the snow-capped mountains has its source, and the evil flower naturally has its source. Melona's parents once wanted to betray the village and destroy the great wind ceremony. They had to pay the price. Although Melona was raised by the priests, he has learned a lot of tricks outside. If he wants to avenge his parents and do evil, we have to guard against it. I know you like him, but, The interests of the village are above you and me."
"Father!" Mu Qingqing snarled, curled her lips, and stopped talking.
Melona, Heinrich, and Mr. Huang backed away quietly. When they reached the edge, the long cotton jacket that Mr. Huang was wearing scratched the ground and made a screeching sound.
"Who?" asked the High Priest sharply.The three quickly stopped and looked at each other. Heinrich felt a drop of cold sweat trickle down his back.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Mu Qingqing said: "It's just a bird, High Priest, let's start checking."
Heinrich and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of what Mu Qingqing's father said, Heinrich felt very uncomfortable. After exiting the forbidden area, he walked by the mountain wall for a few minutes, turned around After turning a corner, Heinrich asked Mei Ruona: "Jona, is what the elder said just now true?"
He originally wanted to ask Mu Qingqing if he liked Mei Ruona, but Mei Ruona blushed and asked, "Xi Hai, don't you even trust me now?"
"Why don't you trust you?" Heinrich asked back, thinking for a while, yes, Melona is from this village, knows how to get to the forbidden area, and wants to dispose of the corpse so much, just now the elder said he wanted to destroy the ceremony, He must have thought he was suspicious of him.However, thinking about it this way, it is not impossible that he is the murderer.
But will the answer of this game be so simple?
"I don't distrust you..." Heinrich also began to be wary of the people around him, but he replied with an innocent look on the surface.
Melona smiled, with a bit of bitterness in the corner of her mouth, obviously she didn't believe Lin Xihai's words.
After hearing the words of the high priest, Huang Sanye felt that something was wrong the more he looked at Meiruona.Originally, this person was eccentric from the beginning to the end, and he tricked two people into this remote village. He didn't look like An's good intentions. If he wasn't the murderer, who was the murderer?Mr. Huang is a straightforward person. After thinking about it this way, he asked confidently: "What's the matter with your parents that they just said? If you can't answer, we will regard you as a murderer."
Melona obviously didn't care much about Huang Meimei. As an examinee, Ke Sleeping also felt that Mr. Huang's thoughts were too simple, so he sneered: "You think of me as a murderer? You are in our village, do you think you think How does it make sense?"
"I think you just want to kill us all, and then go through alone... I mean go out alive alone!" Sanye Huang couldn't hear the irony from others the most, and stabbed back immediately.
"Really?" Melona raised her eyes, then turned to Heinrich, and asked in a somewhat self-deprecating tone: "Xihai, you think the same?"
Heinrich looked left and right. He had a relatively soft personality, but this was not something that could be resolved with Mui.Now no one is sure who the murderer is. If he stands in line casually and has a bad impact on the result, then his own points will be deducted.
So he said: "We came together, so naturally we have to go out together. I don't want to doubt anyone, but some things must be clarified. Jona, if it is true as you said, our lives are in danger, if If you really treat me as a good friend, you should tell the truth."
Unexpectedly, this seemingly silly foreigner is also very smart. In the setting of this game, Lin Xihai said so, Mei Ruona will definitely tell her own life experience, otherwise it will be ooc.Ke Sleeping felt displeased, but his acting skills were flawless.He waited for a while, then changed into a heavy tone and said: "My parents wanted to get out of the village and go to the city of the Han people to develop, but because my father was the younger brother of the priest, and the village was very closed at that time, they The idea was regarded as heresy and strictly prohibited. That year, it was our village's turn to hold the big wind sacrifice ceremony again, and they wanted to take the opportunity to escape from the village. However, they were discovered on the way, and they used the name of destroying the sacrifice , was gathered at the stone pagoda by the elders of several villages..."
Melona didn't continue talking, but both Heinrich and Mr. Huang understood what he hadn't said, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.
"This is two human lives. Even 20 years ago, it was too barbaric to do so?" Lin Xihai said suddenly.
"Yes, after that incident, many villagers were also dissatisfied. Later, our village gradually communicated with the outside world, and the stone pagoda was even abandoned. It's just that it was illegal after all. The death of my parents has since become a taboo in the village. No one can mention it casually." Melona smiled wryly: "But the person is dead, so what's the point of not mentioning it, no matter how dissatisfied?"
"Look, what is that?" Heinrich hadn't answered yet, but Mr. Huang suddenly called out.Heinrich and Melona turned their heads and saw Huang Meimei pointing at the cliff with a look of surprise, fear written all over her face.
In the snow-capped abyss, at some point, a thin silver thread appeared, and countless headless ghosts in white clothes were suspended from it. They were being driven along this thread like a cable car. Constantly sent to the side of the cliff.
"The headless ghost has appeared, let's run!" Mei Ruona roared.As a member of this village, Ke Sleeping knows the information about the headless ghost. With their current strength, if they don't have countermeasures, the game will be over in minutes if they are caught up by the headless ghost.
The three of them didn't dare to neglect, they supported the stone wall and ran wildly on the snow.But the speed of the headless ghost was also getting faster and faster, and after a while, it floated from the silver line to the mountain wall, and floated towards the living people in a line.
"It's really not possible. When they came over, they squatted on the ground, covered their heads with their clothes and didn't want to breathe, so they would think that you were their own kind." Mei Ruona said panting while running.
He was poor in physical fitness and fell to the end. Seeing that a headless ghost in white had floated behind him, he squatted down and covered his head with his robe. The headless ghost actually circled around him a few times. Float forward.
"Ouch, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk." Mr. Huang couldn't help making a comprehensible voice, gave a smirk, and then froze for a moment, as if he heard something in his head, he quickly put on an unhappy expression The face said: "I know you have a deep brotherhood, don't show it in front of me.
