Lu Zhou gave Jiang Lai a thumbs up.

"Captain, you are worthy of being me. You ended the battle so quickly."

Jiang Lai ignored Lu Zhou and walked towards the tied-up Jin Feng. Instead of untying the ropes on her, he freed her mouth first.

"Can you tell us what exactly happened here? What's the matter with Ailian?" Jiang Lai asked.

Jinfeng nodded, and when she opened her mouth, the voice that came out of her tender little mouth, that of a six-year-old child, was the same as Ailian's just now, that of a lady in her seventies or eighties.

"Our village is controlled by the evil god that Xingwang invited back. As long as that evil god still exists, everything here will never return to normal."

"Here, children will stop growing and remain children forever. Parents have no ability to make decisions on their own and can only obey their children. Parents will become family oxen during the day, working day and night in the fields for their children, and dedicating all good things to their children. They will let these children who never grow up eat their own flesh and drink their own blood."

"Then, the parents who have been drained of their blood and flesh will die, exhausted. When they die, their faces will be distorted and extremely terrifying."

"Parents become guardian oxen of the family and will protect their children unconditionally. They are even willing to sacrifice their own lives for their children."

"Children here don't need to study, nor do they need to farm, work, spin or weave. They just need to find new parents before their parents die. To be more precise, they need to find new people whose blood they suck."

"Everything in the village is controlled by the group of boys led by Xingwang. Even if their parents die and they don't replace them with new parents in time, it won't be a big problem for them. It's just that their lives will become hard. As long as new parents come, this problem will be solved."

"But if it's a girl, a girl who has lost the protection of her parents will grow up to be 17 or 18 years old in one day, just like Ailian and Niu Meili you saw. Ah, you should call her Niu Lingling. When a girl grows up, she will meet the conditions for being used as a sacrifice for the Ox Festival by Xingwang's gang."

Jin Feng glanced at Jiang Lai and the others.

"You are more powerful than the others who came here before. I believe you have seen the sacrifices of the Cow Festival. Yes, it is the kind of half-human, half-bull monster that has half of its body peeled off human skin and covered with cow skin."

When Jin Feng found that there was no surprise in Jiang Lai and the others' eyes, she knew that her previous guess was correct.

"You have indeed seen that kind of sacrifice. Isn't it ugly and weird?" she said with a sarcastic gleam in her eyes.

"As a girl who lost her parents, the only way to avoid becoming a sacrifice is to offer a better sacrifice to the evil god, such as two human hearts and a younger-looking girl."

"So, you see. Ailian did this. She got two hearts. I only know that one of the hearts should belong to her deceased mother-in-law. That is, Grandma Xiufen who died soon after a long illness. As for who the other heart belongs to, I don't know."

"Are you confused? Ailian and Grandma Xiufen lived together under the same roof for so many years. After Grandma Xiufen passed away, why did Ailian dig out her heart without hesitation?"

"After all, Grandma Xiufen is not Ailian's real family. In addition, she has abandoned all her concerns and has done whatever it takes to survive. So how could her conscience be disturbed by her actions?"

At this point, a gleam of sarcasm emerged in Jin Feng's big, bright eyes.

"After all, in our village, there have been people who dug out their mother's heart when she was still alive."

Hearing this, Jiang Lai immediately thought of Xingwang's mother.

It turns out that Xingwang awakened the evil god and caused the weirdness to descend on the village by sacrificing his own biological mother.

It’s true...a loving mother and a filial son made that brat so strong!

"Do you think my voice is strange? It's because this space was opened up by Ailian for the purpose of worshipping the evil god and communicating with the evil god. In this place, our voices will be synchronized with our real age to a certain extent, but our bodies and appearance will not change because of this."

"If Ailian's sacrifice is successful and she can be recognized by the evil god, she will be able to obtain the identity of a Nuo witch and live in this space opened up by the sacrifice to the evil god. When her power becomes strong, it is not impossible for her to be equal to Xingwang."

"This is the whole truth about Pingguling Village. Niu Meili, um, Niu Lingling is this year's sacrifice. The reason she was able to survive until this year and was able to go to the outside world and bring you here is because Xingwang gave her a death order, asking her to bring back new parents before all the adults in the village, that is, our parents, die."

Listening to Jin Feng, who was like the Child-like Fairy of Tianshan Mountain, telling them so much with the body of a six-year-old child and the voice of an octogenarian, Lu Zhou couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't you and Xingwang in the same group? Why are you telling us all this?"

"Do you know why Xingwang takes special care of me? It's because... I'm Xingwang's half-sister! It was Xingwang's father who used his position as village chief to forcibly defile my mother and give birth to me..."

"Now, because of my prosperity, I have become this kind of monster that is neither human nor ghost. I can't even hate him enough, so how can I be in the same group with him?" Jin Feng said gritting her teeth, hatred flashing in her big round eyes.

"I have lived this way for 356 years. Eleven months and 28 days will soon make it 357 years. I have had enough of being trapped in the body of a six-year-old, wearing the skin of a six-year-old, with no hope of experiencing normal birth, aging, sickness and death."

"The sacrificial ceremony for Ailian has failed. The barrier will open soon and you can return to the village smoothly. If you go back now, you should be able to catch up with the Ox Festival. Everything will be in time."

"The evil god Shuigu Niu has merged with Xingwang. As long as you kill Xingwang, you can completely put an end to all this chaos."
