MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 184 (1)

This is a xenophobic village, and it doesn't like to communicate with outsiders, let alone take the initiative to keep people to stay.

But the itinerary was delayed by my family, and the car was stopped by my family. It is their fault, but their attitude is so good...

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, then smiled and agreed, and welcomed the two to her yard.

The assistant didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, and the other party agreed readily and enthusiastically under the apology, which made him look at his professor's social skills with admiration and gained a new understanding.

—A professor who always likes to do research, even a little withdrawn, when did he have such great social skills?

It should be that they want something from others, but in this way, the other party is making up for them and giving them the upper hand.

This trick, high!

The assistant secretly gave Chi Yiyin a thumbs up, convinced.

Chi Yiyin smiled and didn't care.

But in the next second, the smile faded a little.

Why is the assistant acting like he is not familiar with this side of him? Does the assistant who stays with him day and night know nothing about the professor's personality... No, it's just that in the assistant's perception, he doesn't have such a personality.

It might even be the other way around.

Chi Yiyin frowned, doubts growing in his heart.

"Then where is the car parked?"

The assistant's voice interrupted Chi Yiyin's thinking.

As soon as the car door was opened, air-conditioning rushed in. Chi Yiyin shivered from the cold, and immediately put on the overcoat she was wearing.

But as soon as the coat was put on, Chi Yiyin froze imperceptibly.

…not his size.

Whether it's length, shoulder width or cuffs, they are all bigger than his own size, as if he stole someone else's clothes.

—someone who is taller and stockier.

But Chi Yiyin's height of 1.83 meters and the good figure he has exercised all year round make him stand out from the crowd among ordinary people. The proportion of people who can be taller and stronger than him...is very small, and they are not in his memory. does not exist.

Something flashed in Chi Yiyin's mind, as if a man was walking towards him slowly.

But like a poorly connected screen, the man's face was blurred by the sizzling snowflakes. Before Chi Yiyin could see clearly, the figure of that person had disappeared from his mind.

He froze for a moment, an inexplicable sense of loss rose from his heart, but his palm gripped the coat even harder.

It seems...something was lost by him.

The assistant hurried over, held an umbrella for Chi Yiyin to prevent the rain from splashing on him, and protected him as he walked quickly to the yard behind the middle-aged woman.

Chi Yiyin could only put away the doubts just now, and didn't say much in front of outsiders.

"Car? Ah, just park there. There are few people in our village who use cars. It's raining so late, no one will come, so don't be so particular about it."

The middle-aged woman first sent the foolish-looking person back to the house, and then greeted them out, with a simple and enthusiastic smile, and beckoned them to go inside: "You can call me fifth aunt, my family is the fifth, Everyone in the village calls me that."

The assistant simply agreed, and yelled several times with a smile, crisp and sweet, and a few words made the fifth aunt happy, she was so happy from ear to ear, she completely treated them as her own family.

The yard is not small, but it is rough.

There are still high piles of grain inside, covered by tarpaulins, and agricultural tools are piled there, without any plan. The few houses surrounded on all sides are also the most common style of village houses. Although there are still people living there, they have not been properly repaired, and they look similar to other dilapidated houses in the village.

Fifth Aunt let them into the main room, where a crackling stove was burning, barely dispelling some of the heavy rain and the coldness brought by the old house.

In addition to the stupid young man who suddenly appeared in front of Chi Yiyin's car just now, there was another shriveled old man sitting by the stove to keep warm, smoking dry tobacco, and the whole room smelled of smoke.

Seeing Chi Yiyin and the other two coming in, the old man raised his eyes and looked up. He rolled his eyes three times, looking fierce and sinister, and he was very difficult to get along with.

The assistant was taken aback by the old man's gaze, and subconsciously wanted to hide behind the people next to him, thinking that his companions would protect him.

Chi Yiyin glanced at him speechlessly: What's the matter with the leader? I have never seen any assistant use a professor to top the pot.

Only then did the assistant realize what he had done, touched his nose with a smirk, and moved sideways in small steps for a long time, but still did not leave behind Chi Yiyin.

without it.

The assistant was instinctively afraid of the shriveled little old man.

Even if the opponent looks thin and weak, he is not a threat.

But just like rabbits are afraid of hungry wolves, some perceptions are close to survival instincts, which are life-saving magic weapons obtained after long-term evolution of creatures.

"Come in and enjoy the fire. You guys warm up first. I'll go and see if there's anything left in the kitchen. I'll warm up your stomachs."

Fifth Aunt warmly greeted the two of them, and nimbly moved two small stools over, and placed them next to the stove.

Next to the little old man.

The assistant's scalp was numb, and when he thought about sitting next to the little old man, he felt like he was going to suffer from social phobia.

Chi Yiyin was helpless, but still walked to the stool next to the old man, leaving the assistant on the other side.

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief.

He closed the umbrella and stood casually on the wall outside the door. Unable to bear the temptation brought by the warmth of the fire, he rubbed his hands and walked into the room. In order not to meet the old man's eyes, he forced himself to look in the direction of the fifth aunt, and kept talking to her.

Obtaining information has become instinctive, even if he doesn't understand what he wants the information for.

"This is my father-in-law, don't be restrained, hurry up and enjoy the fire."

Aunt Wu introduced each other to both sides with a smile, and was also full of curiosity about why Chi Yiyin and the other two came to such a place: "From your accent, it doesn't seem like you are a local? How did you come here?"

"It's a novelty that no outsider will come to our village for hundreds of years."

Chi Yiyin didn't introduce too much to herself, but said in general that she was passing by and wanted to find someone.

"Who is it?"

Fifth Aunt was a little curious: "I've never heard of this neighborhood, who has relatives as rich as you. You are different from us at first glance, are you from the city?"

She looked up and down at Chi Yiyin and Chi Yiyin's clothes, her tone was envious and sour: "Look, it's different from the clothes in our place."

As she said that, she looked back at the stupid young man who was staring blankly at the fire behind her, and snorted heavily, as if she was sulking, and also resented why he was not someone like Chi Yiyin.

"It's not like my silly son."

When Fifth Aunt said this, her tone didn't have the gentleness of a mother, nor the concern of her family. It was more like complaining and dissatisfied. She wished that such a fool had never appeared.

I don't know if it was raining outside just now, the wind blew through the clothes and made it a bit cold, the assistant shivered, shivered, and silently moved closer to Chi Yiyin's direction, seeking a sense of security.

After a long meal, Aunt Wu praised Chi Yiyin and the two, expressed her envy and longing for them, and scolded the stupid young man openly and secretly for a long time, seeing that no one answered her words in the room, she immediately felt that it was meaningless , turned around and went to the kitchen outside without interest.

The shriveled old man hadn't looked at them since they came in, and had been sitting there smoking a pipe to himself, like a silent mushroom.

And the young man stared blankly at Huo Miao's birth nearby, with the same expressionless face and dull eyes, and did not speak.

After Fifth Aunt left, the house quickly fell silent.

In addition to the crackling sound of burning firewood, only the sound of a few people breathing remained.

The assistant fidgeted, feeling that the atmosphere was too stiff and awkward.

"That, that..."

"Which village is the person you said you were looking for?"

The old man, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out and asked Chi Yiyin in a hoarse and rough voice: "Isn't it from our village?"

Chi Yiyin raised his eyebrows and nodded, there was nothing to hide about this.

"Don't look at our village as inconspicuous. I heard that it used to be a war fortress. It is holding the mountain pass. If you want to go to the villages inside, you have to pass through us."

The old man drooped his brows and eyes, and when he talked about the glory days in the village, there was finally some light in his cloudy eyes like dead fish.

It's frighteningly bright.

"It's a pity that the young people in the village don't want to dig in the ground like their ancestors did for generations. They prefer to go outside the mountains."

The old man's voice was very hoarse, and before he could say a few words, he began to cough violently, with such force that he seemed to cough out his lungs.

Even the assistant was taken aback, and hurriedly half stood up, and subconsciously reached out to the old man, making a motion to support him.

But the young man next to him was still stupid and did not respond to this.

The old man took it for granted, waved his hand, and didn't ask the assistant to help him.

He was like a machine that had been in disrepair for a long time and was about to be scrapped. He made a loud sound of "whee... wheeze", panting with difficulty, and only then took the breath he just took to catch his breath.

"What's so good outside the mountain? Everyone rushes out, it's the same as rushing to reincarnate."

He snorted, and slammed the pipe in his hand on the stove, making a loud noise: "It's because of them! This village is about to die."

Sparks splashed.

The assistant was startled and instinctively avoided.

Chi Yiyin sat peacefully like a mountain, listening to the old man quietly, without much reaction.

He looked down, and the splashing sparks fell on the ground at his feet, gradually extinguishing.

"Young people always want to go out and see the world. They are not trees, and they cannot stay rooted in one place for a lifetime."

Chi Yiyin knew how to chat, but he didn't want to follow the old man's words and scold those young people who left the village in order to win the other party's favor.

He just said indifferently: "They have their own will and choices, which have nothing to do with the older generation, and they will not be forever trapped in the stubborn ideas of the older generation."

"There is change and there is progress, isn't it?"

Chi Yiyin laughed softly: "This is the truth of the world."

At that moment, the old man looked down at Chi Yiyin's three white eyes, showing a bit of ferocity, as if he wanted to pounce on him and bite his throat.

The assistant accidentally caught a glimpse, and was immediately frightened and his heart beat wildly.

But when he looked again, wanting to take a closer look, there was nothing there.

As if it was just his hallucination.

But when Chi Yiyin said these words, she even froze for a moment.

He hesitated and slowly blinked his eyes, and the sense of disobedience in his heart became more serious.

He is a scholar and researcher who has been obsessed with the pursuit and exploration of folklore all year round.

But he is instinctively analyzing the surrounding environment and the people in front of him, as if such behavior has penetrated into the marrow of his bones and become an unchangeable habit, and his muscle memory is even a step ahead of his soul to be faithful to himself.

Chi Yiyin is analyzing himself. He understands that an expert in folklore has spent almost all of his life in college. His life has gone smoothly without any setbacks. He is neither cynical nor against authority...

How can a person with such a personality say such "deviant" words?

This should not be what "Chi Yiyin" said.

It is what he really thinks in his heart.

Chi Yiyin pursed his lips, and his aura became gloomy, but he didn't say anything, but quietly paid attention to the surrounding environment and the few behavioral models in front of him.

The old man was very dissatisfied with Chi Yiyin's rebuttal to him, but he stiffened his neck, but in the end he didn't say anything, but huddled up on the small stool, like an orange that was forgotten on the tree when he bent his waist, Has shriveled and shriveled.

The old man was smoking the dry tobacco, and the whole room was filled with that smell, mixed with the smell of damp and moss after the heavy rain, which made the smell in the room very mixed, so unpleasant that the assistant backed back involuntarily, not wanting to let the dry tobacco stick spray The smoke fell on him.

"Our village used to have people like you."

He said hoarsely: "But later, there is no such person left."

The old man's rough voice echoed eeriely in the room, the coldness that even the fire could not dispel.

Lightning strikes.

Cold white light came in through the window, illuminating the old man's ugly, withered face.

And... the weird grin on his lips.

"Boom—!"

Thunder rang.

It's like the sky is falling apart.

The assistant was shocked, and felt that his heart was almost as fast as the sound of thunder.

He originally wanted to say that he was not afraid of these things, but before he could speak, he suddenly met the shadow on the opposite white wall.

He was startled, and hurried to pull Chi Yiyin's sleeve.

Chi Yiyin had already noticed the abnormality on the wall long before him, and frowned deeply, but said nothing calmly.

My aunt's house is not rich, so it can be said that the house is bare, with cobwebs hanging on the four white walls, and the cracks are vertical and horizontal.

But at this time, on the white wall, with the rumbling of lightning and thunder, a figure gradually appeared.

The dark blue shadow seemed to be imprinted on the wall, but it was ferocious, distorted, shaking constantly, strangled its own neck, and fought passionately.

I don't know whether to strangle itself, or to remove other forces pinching its neck.

And such a scene, only Chi Yiyin and the others could see it.

The fire was blown wildly by the strong wind, and the light and shadow flickered, but it did not affect the shadow on the wall at all.

Under Chi Yiyin's gaze, the shadow gradually acquired the contours of the face and body, breaking away from the shadows, with a contrast of light and dark, more like a living person.

That face also gradually acquired facial features.

A man's face.

It is already highly decayed, even if the shadow shows a face, a collapsed or even distorted face, it is impossible to recognize what it looks like, not even two eyes and a mouth that a normal person should have.

But inexplicably, Chi Yiyin felt that this face looked so familiar.

like…

He once explored the stories that belonged to it, listened to it weeping blood and told about the misery and resentment during his lifetime, and transformed the unknown stories about the deep mountains into words to record its existence.

Such thoughts linger in my mind and intensify.

Chi Yiyin tilted her head, only feeling puzzled.

But before the shadow completely took on a human appearance, and before the hand in the shadow reached Chi Yiyin from the wall, the thunder stopped.

The shadow also disappeared.

In the room, the calmness and normality just now returned.

Chi Yiyin shook his head, and when he lowered his eyes to look in front of him again, everything remained the same.

But the assistant's eyes were confused, and he hadn't recovered from the fear just now, but in his eyes, no matter how he observed, Chi Yiyin didn't find any more emotions.

No doubts or memories.

The assistant didn't have the same sense of familiarity with the shadow as Chi Yiyin did, and his fear was also limited to a certain threshold, which did not exceed the limit.

... Chi Yiyin was the only one who felt that way, or saw that kind of picture.

The assistant noticed Chi Yiyin's deep eyes looking at him, and he blinked:?

Chi Yiyin smiled perfunctorily and reassuringly, without explaining more.

"Old man, you just said that your village is a fortress."

Chi Yiyin had regained his composure, thinking quickly with a super-high reflex ability that did not conform to a professor of folklore, and calmly discovered another meaning revealed in the old man's words: "Then you know the roads to several villages on the mountain? "

Before the old man could answer, Chi Yiyin, who noticed the sullen expression on the other side, immediately added another sentence: "The old man has lived in the village for so long, so there must be nothing that can escape your eyes, right? It's just a mountain road, and even young people can be found."

Sure enough, the opponent was caught.

Dissatisfaction with the young people made the old man unwilling to lag behind. Under Chi Yiyin's provocative method, he immediately took a breath, and temporarily put his bad feeling towards Chi Yiyin behind him, and the words rushed to him in a flash of anger. lips.

"Who said I don't know? You just say where you are going, there is no place within a radius of ten miles that I don't know!"

Chi Yiyin pursed his lips and smiled slightly. The hunter who wanted to collect the net said his original destination: "Dayin Village."

"Master, do you know?"

As soon as the name of this village was uttered, the old man was startled immediately. The anger and refusal to admit defeat that just came to his head, seemed to be poured by ice water, and he immediately calmed down.

But the words have already been spoken, and now if you go back on your word and say you don’t know, you are tearing yourself down.

face hurts.

The old man's dry face was uncertain, white and red for a while, staring at Chi Yiyin, and realized that he had been tricked by this young man.

But he bit the bullet and wanted to support his dignity.

"Of course I know."

The old man sneered and knocked the pipe in his hand: "It depends on whether you dare to go, junior."

And the young man who had been sitting on the side in a daze also reacted to the place name, and his eyes slightly turned towards Chi Yiyin's direction, as if he wanted to see clearly who would want to go to such a place .

Chi Yiyin frowned: "What happened to Dayin Village?"

"I heard from a friend that there will be a sacrifice to the gods, so I came here specially to observe it. I heard you say that, old man... Does the village have something to say?"

The old man was happy to see these ignorant juniors uneasy, so after seeing Chi Yiyin "hooked", he slowly and half-closed his eyes contentedly, smoked a pipe, but kept silent.

He wanted Chi Yiyin to worry.

But Chi Yiyin had already turned his attention to the young man next to him.

Even with just one glance, he was keenly aware that the seemingly foolish young man was not completely indifferent to the outside world.

Great Yin Village... What's the problem with his destination this time?

With the old man present, Chi Yiyin didn't want to ask the young man too much, so he could only patiently wait for the time to be alone.

And Fifth Aunt had brought some food back from the kitchen, and rushed back in the rain.

The assistant hurried forward to help, and took the big pot and pot from the fifth aunt.

Although they are all food without oil and water, the hot porridge and freshly steamed potatoes are not even a little bit salty, but they are also the best food for hungry people.

"There is nothing good to entertain at home, don't mind. The taste may not be to your taste, but the amount is sure to be enough!"

Seeing that the assistant was so happy, Aunt Wu also became happy, and quickly cleared the table, so that the two of them could sit on the high table and eat instead of crowding around the small stove.

—Although it was also because Fifth Aunt wanted to enjoy the fire herself, she used this method to drive the two away from the fire.

Chi Yiyin saw it, but still walked over in a calm manner, and sat down on the red plastic stool that was still used and faded to pinkish white.

Although the stove was very warm, for Chi Yiyin's slender figure and long legs, the small stool was too aggrieved, and he couldn't even move his legs.

Being able to sit at the table also gave him the opportunity to stretch his muscles.

Although it was tasteless, the warm food still whetted the assistant's appetite, and Chi Yiyin also ate some, slowly recovering the physical strength taken away by the cold and hunger.

In this slightly weird family, Fifth Aunt is the most normal. She has simple enthusiasm, strong curiosity, and is talkative.

When the two of Chi Yiyin were eating, Aunt Wu didn't stop talking, she kept asking questions, wishing to understand Grandpa Chi Yiyin from the moment he was born.

There is no concept of social distance at all, which can easily make the younger generation feel uncomfortable. But Chi Yiyin was not timid about this at all, and blocked the question back with all his strength.

After several fights, Fifth Aunt was satisfied and felt that Chi Yiyin was really a good person.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that what Chi Yiyin said was completely perfunctory nonsense, and he didn't give out a single useful information.

—For example, if you ask him where his family lives, he tells you that he is in the world.

It's just that Chi Yiyin used his superb skills to cover up the essential perfunctory, making the chat partner even think that he is a passionate and talkative character, and can't find those nonsense at all.

On the contrary, Fifth Aunt, in the back and forth conversations, was given a lot of information by Chi Yiyin.

As the old man said, this village was indeed the most prosperous village in the ten miles and eight towns. But because of this, the young and middle-aged people in the village discovered the prosperity outside earlier than other villages, and chose to go out to work one after another.

In the early years, many villagers earned a lot of money outside. They came back to repair their ancestral houses and build big houses.

After coming and going, the only ones left behind in the village are the elderly and the infirm.

Gradually, those who went out to work less and less returned home, and most of the young and middle-aged people took their wives and children to live in the city instead of returning to the village.

The village is so deserted.

Up to now, there are only Aunt Wu's family and a dozen other households living in the village, but all of them are old people without exception. Maybe someday I don't see anyone in the morning, and I will be cold when I go to see them again.

The reason why Aunt Wu didn't leave was because of her stupid son.

When I was a child, I had a fever and had no money to see a doctor. From a smart child, I became a fool with a fever, and I couldn't even take care of myself.

Fifth Aunt could only stay and take care of this old and weak family.

As for her husband...

When talking about her family, Fifth Aunt accidentally brought up a topic about her husband, and then quickly fell into silence, expressing an attitude of unwillingness to mention more, and even her smiling face turned gloomy down.

The old man lifted his baggy eyelids, glanced at Fifth Aunt, didn't say much, still smoking his pipe in silence.

"By the way, you said you were going to visit relatives? Which one?"

Fifth Aunt soon laughed again, and suggested to Chi Yiyin: "Maybe I know, and I can help you guide the way. As long as there are people living near here, there is no one I don't know."

She patted her chest and assured Chi Yiyin that she was extremely proud of her interpersonal relationship.

Chi Yiyin has no doubts about this.

After all, Aunt Fifth has a son with dementia, and she will always die before her son. Other family members are unwilling to take care of her son, so they can only hope to establish a good relationship with the neighbors. After she dies, how much can she take care of her? some.

After learning about the situation of Aunt Wu's family, Chi Yiyin didn't hide any more, but told about Dayin Village.

And tentatively mentioned to the fifth aunt about the upcoming sacrifice to the gods.

But she never expected that Fifth Aunt, who had always been talkative before, would suddenly change her face when she talked about Dayin Village.

Her expression was cloudy and uncertain, as if fleshy worms were slowly moving under her skin, with bumps and bumps, and emotions similar to hatred burst out from those cloudy eyes.

"Where are you going to watch the sacrifice? What are you doing looking at that thing? What are good people doing watching that thing! What's so interesting about it!"

The fifth aunt was so emotional that she even stood up from the small stool by the stove, rushed to the table where the two of Chi Yiyin were sitting, and drove Chi Yiyin away with her hands like chickens, trying to throw them out of the house.

"Get out! Get out of my house!"

The veins in her neck popped out, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "You evil lackeys, you are not allowed to enter my house!"

Fifth Aunt's raised hand brushed past the assistant's face, almost scratching his face.

The assistant was taken aback and quickly stood up to avoid it.

Chi Yiyin, however, sat quietly at the table, and when he quietly looked back at Fifth Aunt, there was not even a trace of fluctuation on his face, and he still had extra energy to observe the reactions of the old man and the stupid young man.

People will always expose their true nature and true thoughts under the most intense and extreme emotions.

Facing the fifth aunt's collapse and roar, the old man remained indifferent, watching with cold eyes, as if he was not a family at all.

As for the young man, his face that had been in a daze had gradually turned into a flustered expression, as if he had finally realized something.

The assistant ran all over the house like being chased by the fifth aunt, quite embarrassed.

But when he passed Aunt Fifth's demented son, the son hugged Aunt Fifth, slurring sticky syllables in his mouth, making it difficult for people to understand what he was saying.

However, the mother will always be the one who knows her child best and can understand what her child wants to say.

No matter what the demented young man said, the fifth aunt's furious and collapsed expression gradually collapsed, her raised arms slowly lowered, the flesh on her face trembled along with it, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

she is crying.

Helpless and wronged all cried out.

Aunt Fifth hugged her son with her backhand, crying loudly. Mother and son look like they depend on each other for life.

But from the beginning to the end, the old man just sat on the small stool and watched coldly. Not to mention a family, more like enemies.

Chi Yiyin had a panoramic view of this scene.

After Fifth Aunt gradually calmed down, he got up and walked towards her.

"I'm sorry Fifth Aunt, I don't know that Dayin Village is to you... After dawn, my companion and I will leave immediately."

Although Chi Yiyin thought that he was just a professor of folklore and had completely forgotten about his past, his instinct of analysis and contact was engraved in his bones, which was enough for him to analyze the current situation and based on the conversation Guide the situation of the patient, and let the situation advance in the most powerful direction.

Chi Yiyin has a face that is enough to make people like it, and the illusion of gentleness and gentleness that is harmless to humans and animals.

In an unfamiliar and dangerous environment, that emotional mask is unconsciously worn, leaving others with a gentle appearance.

It also made it easy for Aunt Fifth to follow Chi Yiyin's thinking, admitting to him, and her anger was slowly calmed down by his words.

She even felt guilty for what she had done just now, with tears still on her face, she apologized to Chi Yiyin and the others.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

Fifth Aunt tried her best to raise a smile, but it was uglier than crying: "I...Dayin Village, my family had an accident after going to see some sacrifice in Dayin Village."

"I really have no way to deal with Dayin Village..."

The fifth aunt's eyes were red again, and she choked up and said: "Later, I found other witches to show me about my family, but they blamed us instead, saying that my family shouldn't go to see the priest."

"The sacrifice to the gods is not for people to see, but for ghosts."

"If people insist on watching, then the sacrifice will not stop them. Because after the sacrifice, even a human will become a ghost."

Speaking of these, Fifth Aunt couldn't restrain her collapse at all, and cried loudly while hugging her stupid son.

The assistant was stunned. He didn't expect that there was such a distance between Aunt Wu and Dayin Village.

And the fifth aunt's husband is the old man's fifth son. Looking at it this way, it seems to be able to explain why the old man is so cold.

Poking someone's heartache made the assistant quickly forgive Fifth Aunt's hurtful behavior to him just now, and even felt guilty that she had no eyesight to ask the wrong question and made others sad in vain.

The assistant was at a loss, stumbling and comforting.

He still raised his head to look at Chi Yiyin in the gap, and expressed meaning in his eyes, signaling Chi Yiyin to come and comfort him quickly, he couldn't stand it!

Chi Yiyin was indifferent, and only waited for the fifth aunt to vent her emotions before taking a step forward, and asked the fifth aunt everything she wanted to know with words that seemed concerned but were actually cold.

For example, the route of Dayin Village.

"Since Fifth Uncle has suffered such harm over there, we can't just let it go. I know Fifth Aunt, you are doing it for our own good, and for our sake. You are so kind, just like my mother."

When Chi Yiyin said this, he didn't feel burdened at all.

His eyes looked so sincere and sincere, as if what he said were all true feelings: "But fifth aunt, you don't care about it, it doesn't mean that this matter can just go away. I want to visit Dayin Village, and Ask for an explanation for Uncle Wu."

After hearing these words, not only the fifth aunt, but even the old man raised his head and looked at Chi Yiyin with a weird and distorted expression, as if he was looking at a monster.

And the player in front of the screen: "???"

"This horse riding is Chi Yiyin?!"

The player pointed at the screen and was shocked: "This person is too shameless! Is it not burdensome to tell such a lie directly? Wait, Chi Yiyin, Chi... Could it be that Chi Yiyin's president is Chi Yiyin? Mother!!"

At the moment when this thought appeared, the player felt his heart tighten, and almost couldn't catch his breath, so he simply passed over.

But in the next second, he immediately realized what he had just done.

"Quick, quick! Revoke the rules just now!"

The player roared with distorted expression: "That's Chi Yan! Let alone a human, she dares to kill even a god!"

But what frightened him even more was Chi Yiyin's boldness.

— How dare he say that this peasant woman is like his mother? ? Like who can you say again, Chi Yan?

If Chi Yan heard this, he could tear Chi Yiyin with a smile!

The player looked at the peasant woman on the screen, and recalled Chi Yan in his memory, and his expression was distorted.

But what he didn't expect was that the train conductor refused his order.

"Sorry, you only have the power to formulate rules, not revoke them. The corresponding rules are already running, whether it's Chi Yiyin or someone else..."

The train conductor smiled: "It's all under the rules."

The player frowned: "Didn't I already win? Isn't the game field mine?"

The train conductor laughed but said nothing.

The rest of the train crew and others were also as cold as a statue, without any temperature or change.

In such a weird attitude, the player finally realized belatedly... It seemed that something was different from what he thought.

However, he found it was too late.

"How can a dog on a rope try to break free again?"

"I have abandoned my human identity, so don't even think about getting it back... Do you think so? Dear player."

The conductor's laughter echoed softly in the train.

But it's not like his original moody voice, it's more like a mechanical voice that has been camouflaged and tuned.

The player slowly widened his eyes, looked up at the huge figure in front of him, and let himself be quickly enveloped by the shadow.

Then, hold your breath.

Fear comes naturally.

And still in a remote deserted village, Chi Yiyin thought he was a professor of folklore. He didn't know anything about live broadcasts or screens, and he didn't know that someone discovered the truth because of him, but he died earlier.

He was still talking with his fifth aunt.

—Or, most of the time, Aunt Wu was talking and Chi Yiyin was listening, giving some reactions from time to time to show that she was listening carefully.

But this is enough for Fifth Aunt.

For a long time, no one would listen to her complaints.
