Strange story player

It turns out that Zhong Xueran is not Xiaoran, but Xiaoran.

Liu Jingqing stared blankly at the Sanqing Bell in Zhong Xueran's hand, and stammered: "Did you help us?"

Zhong Xueran nodded: "Yes, I asked you to explore the road, and I am more or less responsible for you."

She showed off her Sanqing Bell nonchalantly and said: "My permanent prop, the Sanqing Bell, can only be used once in a game. It can designate up to three people to move instantly within the limits of the game! How about it, very good Isn’t it awesome?”

Zhong Xueran's face was full of pride, but Qin Manjiang suddenly said: "You entered here a week earlier than us?"

"Correction, it's six days." Zhong Xueran put the Sanqing Bell away, winked at the two of them, and said, "Anyway, thanks to you, this week-long game will end today."

"Come with me!" Zhong Xueran snapped his fingers, looking quite happy.

Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing followed her and listened to her talk about the cause of the matter.

"After receiving the call for the game, I entered Xianyang Village the next day. I was easily accepted by them in the name of working as a non-local student in exchange for food and accommodation." Zhong Xueran said as he walked, "The strange stories in this village are indeed true. From legend - a black sheep that helps refugees find a place to rest."

"I learned that they have been holding festivals every three years for twenty years. This seems to be to commemorate the fairy sheep that once helped them, but in fact it is to let the fairy sheep come to the human body through some kind of ceremony. Then control people through some means, thereby controlling the fairy sheep and letting it fulfill its wishes."

She pointed at the houses of a few wealthy families in the village and said, "Look, these things are all obtained by making wishes."

"There is no such thing as getting something for nothing. Since they have gained wealth, of course they will pay a price." Zhong Xueran's voice became lower, "It's just that the price was passed on to the victim who is the carrier of the Immortal Sheep's consciousness."

"Once every three years, including this year, at least seven people died in this ceremony." Zhong Xueran suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked: "Speaking of which, what are your code names?"

"I am Chi Yu, Liu Jingqing." Liu Jingqing quickly introduced.

"Shen..." Qin Manjiang paused for a moment. He began to regret again, why he chose such a name, "I am Abyss... My name is Qin Manjiang."

"What?" Zhong Xueran seemed to have a bad ear.

"abyss!"

"Oh, hahaha!" Zhong Xueran raised an eyebrow and glanced at Qin Manjiang, "Don't be shy if you like a name like this."

"But having said that, you are very keen, classmate Shen Yuan." Zhong Xueran seemed to particularly enjoy teasing Qin Manjiang.

"Miss Zhong...your props...are just for us to use, okay?" Liu Jingqing asked a little embarrassed.

Zhong Xueran waved his hand carelessly, put his hand into his arms and took it out: "What do you think this is?"

The two of them looked at what she was holding in her hand.

That's...a writing brush?

"So you took it away." Qin Manjiang thought of Wang Ju's previous panic and failed to find it.

"Well, this is the key to controlling the fairy sheep. As long as it is here, all its abnormal abilities will not be effective on me, and even... I can control it." Zhong Xueran looked at the brush with a smile, "So, we This game will be over soon. As for what I did to help you just now, you don’t need to take it to heart. If I don’t do that, it will be difficult for me to escape safely.”

She led the way towards the central square of the village and said as she walked: "Actually, I have been looking for where this brush is hidden these days. It is possible that the six families of Chen, Wang, Zhang, Li, Sun and Xie Hiding it, with my own strength, it would be difficult to find such a thing among these six families..."

"So you told us the news and led us to investigate the situation of those six families. We happened to encounter the revenge of the evil spirits again. Their eyes were focused on us outsiders and evil spirits, so you took the opportunity to steal the treasure. The writing brush at the village chief's house." Qin Manjiang continued.

"Yes, they know clearly that there is a ghost, and they know what they are dealing with, but these people are not in a hurry, and they must have something to rely on. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for me to get into the village chief's house, but who Did something unexpected happen to their ceremony?" Zhong Xueran flexibly turned the brush between his fingers and admitted Qin Manjiang's speculation.

Liu Jingqing seemed to realize something at this time. She looked at Zhong Xueran and covered her mouth: "So... the old village chief died because you stole his brush?"

Qin Manjiang and Zhong Xueran looked at her at the same time and asked doubtfully: "Shouldn't he die?"

The two people said in unison, making each other stunned. After looking at each other, Zhong Xueran smiled cheerfully, and then said to Liu Jingqing: "I am not a murderer, they are."

Qin Manjiang nodded.

Liu Jingqing still seemed a little unable to accept it, but finally did not continue to question anything.

It is normal for people to have different ideas.

Different experiences, different ideas, different visions, different personalities... So many times people don't have to understand each other, nor do they have to convince others. They just need to achieve the most basic mutual respect.

At this time, Qin Manjiang suddenly felt something. Not only him, but Zhong Xueran also stopped.

The two looked around.

The streets of the entire village were deserted.

It was unnervingly quiet.

Even if everyone goes to the central square of the village to participate in the Sheep Festival, it shouldn't be so quiet, right?

Soon the three of them realized something was wrong, and after walking forward for a while, although it was unbelievable, they still came to this conclusion...

It seemed that there were only three of them in the entire Xianyang Village.

"Why, how could this happen..." Liu Jingqing's face turned pale and she said, "When we left the central square of the village, the festival had been suspended, and I clearly saw that everyone had gone home..."

No one could give her an answer to this question.

"Have you ever met a fairy sheep in the past few days?" Qin Manjiang suddenly asked.

He looked at Zhong Xueran. The woman's eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something.

Hearing this, she shook her head: "No, although I entered the village in advance, until last night, the whole village was normal, although the atmosphere was weird."

Qin Manjiang fell silent. In this way, all the abnormalities did indeed start after the accident in the "Creation of Immortal Sheep" ceremony last night.

Qin Manjiang now has a very bad guess.

He had seen the Immortal Sheep with his own eyes. The figure was dark and fuzzy, with only a black sheep head clearly visible. However, the appearance of the fierce ghost he saw in the village chief's room was completely different from that of the Immortal Sheep.

Could there be two ghosts?

One is the source of all weirdness, the fairy sheep.

The other is Li Rong, a victim who died in the "Creating Immortal Sheep" ritual.

He glanced at the brush in Zhong Xueran's hand, and his doubts became even greater.

At this moment, a middle-aged muscular man with a bare upper body and blood on his hands appeared at the corner in front of him with eyes blank.

"Mr. He Jian?!"

Liu Jingqing exclaimed.

This sound also woke up He Jian. His eyes suddenly lit up. When he saw Qin Manjiang and the others, he immediately shouted: "Run! Go to the central square of the village! Chen Ping is a ghost, and it is coming after him!"

This shout made Qin Manjiang, Liu Jingqing and Zhong Xueran suddenly change their expressions. However, Liu Jingqing and Qin Manjiang were surprised that Chen Ping was actually a ghost?

But what surprised Zhong Xueran was that name——

"You said that among the players in the group, there is a person named Chen Ping?"

she asked.
