Chapter 564

Gao Hai frowned and stared at the dark sky.

After the first suppression bomb hit the pale white hand, the thing shattered and disappeared. Then, through this contact and the use of the Pen of the Perseverer, Gao Hai established a short deep connection with the thing and saw something.

That hand... seemed to be just a part of the power of the core obsession.

The suppression bomb broke the connection between the thing and the core obsession after hitting it, so it shattered directly. Although this destroyed the thing, it also broke the path to find the core obsession. I have to find a way to find something similar.

Tsk, does this obsession have the ability to split? It's really troublesome.

And from the induction just now, well, there is no doubt that it is that [Mr. Du].

The red moon-level core obsession that exists in [Zhangjia Village] is the mysterious Mr. Du himself. It's not surprising that this guy died in this copy, but this thing is actually a core obsession? Is this the second evil person I met that has become my core obsession?

And this guy... he helped the Li family to harm the Fox Lady and the Liu family before, and now he helps the Zhang family to deal with the Li family and the Liu family. In the period of Li Ziyong, he also helped the Lijia Village to buy and sell women. What kind of super troublemaker is this? Is he another lunatic who survived the hotel and wants to obtain the power of God? To be honest, I don’t want to see this kind of rubbish anymore. I have tasted enough in the first two copies.

Gao Hai sighed silently, and then frowned again.

It seems that there are still some vague things in the perception, but I didn’t see it clearly before.

Is that... what Mr. Du looks like?

From the eyes of the Zhang family’s patriarch and the villagers of the Zhang family, the blurred picture was reflected in the pupils.

I can’t see the other person’s appearance clearly, but I can only confirm that he is a man, about 1.7 meters tall, thin and not much flesh.

However, I can see that there is something hanging on the other person’s neck.

It seems to be some kind of pendant that is shining faintly.

At first glance, it looks like an egg hanging on the chest, but if you look closely, it seems to be composed of multiple irregular planes. The workmanship of that thing is very rough, and the material is just ordinary stone. It looks like it was made to imitate some special items.

What is that thing? Could it be that the core obsession of [Mr. Du] is that thing?

Gao Hai did not sense anything wrong from that thing, but for some reason, when he saw that thing for the first time, he subconsciously felt that [this is a replica of something], and instinctively felt that the real thing might be very bad.

This intuitive reaction made Gao Hai very uncomfortable, and then he suddenly had an idea. This [Mr. Du] who may have been to the mysterious hotel may be different from the few people who survived the hotel in [Campus Tales]. His purpose of entering Xiaohei Mountain with the blood of God and guiding these villagers may not be for the power of God as he expected.

{Mr. Gao, there seems to be some changes around, please be careful}

Chacai's voice sounded from the temporary mental link. The old historian player was cautiously using the obsession to test the surrounding situation. After the other party reminded him, Gao Hai noticed the changes in the village under the darkness.

The smell of decay was spreading.

The bodies of the villagers of Zhangjia Village had disappeared and their whereabouts were unknown.

And a kind of unbearable stench, like something rotten, quickly spread in the empty abandoned village.

Gao Hai could tell that it was the smell of people.

Just like the smells smelled in the Red Nut Ash Cave, this is the stench that can only be emitted when people die and decay.

Something is about to appear.

In the stench, the footsteps that could not be found were slowly approaching.

Unlike the previous two core obsessions, this strange thing that was successfully detected by Kaguya Chika seemed quite unusual. Gao Hai was not even sure whether the thing had locked onto him, and could only confirm by intuition that the power of the core strange thing was gradually affecting this place.

It seems that this might be a bit challenging this time.

Thinking of this, Gao Hai observed the surroundings vigilantly, but then a message suddenly came from the mental link.

It was Goto Ichiri.

Her purpose of contacting Gao Hai at this time was very clear. She had successfully found, or encountered, the last core obsession weirdo.

Unknowingly, this book has already reached three million words. This is the first time that a book has been written so long. When I first set up the outline, I thought that this book would be written at most two million words. Now it seems that this book may end up with more than five million words. . .

Chapter 132 Goto Ichiri's [Demon Crying Cave] Exploration Action

"Huh... Hold on for a while..."

In a low voice, the girl wiped the sweat from her face, and then gently plucked the strings of the guitar again.

Goto Ichiri's condition is not good.

While Gao Hai and Kaguya were exploring and investigating in two different directions, she had to monitor Kaguya's situation at any time. If they were in danger, she had to find a way to help protect them. At the same time, she was also responsible for conducting an in-depth investigation of the mass grave space that she had hastily investigated in the first round, looking for the core obsession that might exist in it. It can be said that she was fully focused and could not relax for a moment.

More than 30 clones have died.

Even though the power of the guitar can summon clones infinitely, the excessive consumption in a short period of time still makes Ichiri a little dizzy, and the whole person's condition is getting worse and worse.

"Um... Huh..."

Even though the guitar has changed from an obsession to a blessing item, greatly reducing the consumption of this item to himself, under high-intensity continuous use, Ichiri felt that his head was about to be hollowed out, and his vision also went black. If it weren't for the fact that he had experienced a lot of things after becoming a player, and his willpower and body had been strengthened several times, it is estimated that Ichiri would have died suddenly at this moment.

Hold on for a while, try to hold on for a while.

Everyone is fighting hard now, no matter what, I can't be the one who drags them down.

Try to move your head again and think about what to do next.

Enduring the tingling and dizziness in her head, the girl manipulated the guitar to summon a new clone, and thought quickly at the same time.

The direction of the mass grave, now it can be basically determined that there is no need for further investigation.

Ichiri spent a lot of clones to carefully explore this place. Under the threat of the invisible death that permeated the entire space and whose source was unknown, her clones kept dying and filling up, basically turning the entire mass grave area upside down.

If someone went into that dead space and took a look at it now, they would find that all the well-buried graves in the mass grave had been dug out, and all the bodies wrapped in straw mats had been taken out and tilted. As for the soil that was rolled up like a plow, it goes without saying. In short, with Goto Ichiri's unremitting efforts, this mass grave area that was originally full of weird and terrifying atmosphere has now become Gaza II, and it looks like it has been saturated bombed.

Unfortunately, after such a long time of investigation, there is still no harvest. Well, it should not be said that way. At least the faces of all the recognizable corpses were compared and forwarded to Mr. Hai and Mr. Shigong through the mental link. According to the two, the faces of these corpses seem to match some people in Lijia Village, some people in Zhangjia Village, and even a small number of people in Liujia Village. However, the faces of Zhangjia Village account for the vast majority, which in a sense also explains some problems.

In short, it can be confirmed that there are no clues of the core obsession in the village and the cemetery area.

This is not good news. At present, Gao Hai has confirmed the location of the core obsession and is said to be able to return soon. Although Kaguya has not yet come into contact with the core obsession, she has already had a certain direction of investigation. In this case, Yili is more or less under some pressure, so she is eager to find clues related to the core obsession faster, but she has wasted so much time but has no harvest at all. Such a development is really frustrating.

Next, where should I go?

It is really hard to imagine what the core obsession born in this place should look like. I thought it should be a body lying in a coffin, or a body abandoned in the wilderness? No, if this is the case, it should have been discovered long ago. And there are no clues in the village. Maybe we should go to [Water Ghost Lake] to see if there are any clues in the lake and the fields around the lake.

Yili closed her eyes and tried to think about the next direction of action.

Then, she heard the communication information sent by Gao Hai and Zhen Fei from the mental link, and learned about their speculations, and then quickly decided to move the target to Xiaohei Mountain.

[Ghost Crying Cave], this is the name given by the Li family to a cave somewhere above the snow line of Xiaohei Mountain, and it is also the next area that Yili will investigate.

At first, it seemed that because of some special structure in the cave, the words spoken by the people in it would be amplified and repeated in the cave, and even the voices from a long time ago could be suddenly replayed after months or years. Since the sound of this playback often seems very strange, the villagers said that there were ghosts shouting in this cave, and called it the Ghost Crying Cave. However, this cave did not really become a Ghost Crying Cave at this time, but after that, when the Li family began to abandon their newborn children in this cave, it became a veritable Ghost Crying Cave.

The cries of those children before they died would continue to ring in the Ghost Crying Cave, over and over again, echoing in the dark and narrow space.

Sometimes when there is a phenomenon of overlapping playback of multiple sounds, there will be desperate cries of babies everywhere, which can be said to be quite creepy in all aspects. Even the people of Lijia Village, who have the most twisted and cruel style of behavior, will exit the cave when encountering such a situation, even if nothing comes out to attack them.

Speaking of which, since the cave itself has entered the snow line and the terrain is extremely high, and there are many steep and dangerous areas along the way, usually only strong men can carry the baby all the way to the cave. So under normal circumstances, most people should not be willing to come here. It is actually a better choice to throw it directly into the lake or the forest.

However, Gao Hai quickly found the reason for this problem. It is very simple, because there will be strange things if it is thrown in other places. The strange things produced by the sacrifices of [Water Ghost Lake] and [Bottomless Lake] have caused a lot of trouble to the Li family. In this case, except for the particularly critical harvest sacrifice, no one would want to P for no reason to bring a few strange things outside the village that wander day and night and want to come in to kill people. Especially before the arrival of the old Taoist priest, before the belief in the Xiaohei Mountain God was discovered, the villagers of this period had no power to fight back when they encountered those things except relying on the protection of the Fox Goddess.

In contrast, the place of Ghost Crying Cave has basically been confirmed to be very close to the origin of the Xiaohei Mountain God. In other words, even if the children abandoned here die, they will probably be suppressed by the power of the mountain god. Either it cannot become a strange creature, or even if it becomes a strange creature, it will be suppressed and unable to attack living people. Compared with the long and difficult journey, this benefit is undoubtedly very tempting, so this cave gradually became popular with the Li family. Later, most of the villagers of the Li family would bring people here to abandon after giving birth to baby girls, and a small number of sacrificial customs were also held here.

It was probably during this process that some people began to wonder what kind of power this cave had, so that people who died here would not become strange creatures, and then began to try to explore it in depth. The black stone representing the body of the mountain god of Xiaoheishan was thus discovered by the Li family and taken out of the cave.

As for how the Li family later realized the villagers of the mountain god based on this black stone, and threw the stone into the water ghost lake, turning the sacrificial ceremony into a truly effective harvest ceremony, and then gradually gaining the power of the mountain god, the specific process is unknown. But according to the information transmitted to the spiritual link by Gao Hai and Kaguya, perhaps the mysterious Mr. Du was guiding it.

To be honest, Ichiri is not very good at analyzing and thinking about various intelligence. Even though she got a lot of information from Gao Hai, and she also collected data and sensed a lot of things through her clones, she still felt vague about this copy, and she still couldn't string all the information together to try to think of something.

However, she felt that she still had an advantage, that is, she could investigate the determined investigation direction with perseverance, no matter how difficult it was, she could persist and not retreat. Therefore, now, after confirming the main investigation direction of the Ghost Crying Cave, Goto Ichiri focused his will and devoted himself to it almost completely.

The 40th clone died.

The forest road leading to the mountain was filled with endless death. Those invisible things had no way to capture any traces, but they could kill the clones with just a slight touch.

The 43rd clone died.

Suppressing the dizziness in her head, Ichiri summoned a new clone and continued to advance towards the mountain with concentration. After a long period of indirect contact with the will of death, she has vaguely felt something from this invisible strange power. This seems to be the result of the gathering of power similar to [prayer], which generates some extraordinary power by gathering the [consensus] of a certain number of people. And if you want to describe what the prayer filled with this will of death is, the only thing that can come to mind is the curse of making paper dolls.

The 47th clone died.

The girl stuck out her tongue, licked the blood from her nose, then let out a long breath and continued to play the guitar to summon a new clone.

I almost felt it a little bit.

Although the invisible will of death that permeated the copy was fatal, it must sense [living people] to work. Therefore, as long as the clone is carefully modified and adjusted repeatedly to make it look less like a living person, you can buy more time and advance a longer distance when encountering the invisible will of death.

My head is dizzy.

There is a problem with Shinomiya again. There is some abnormal change in the space over there. Her clone and Kaguya Chika are scattered and they can't be found for the time being.

But then Mr. Hai spoke on the communication, saying that he had almost finished his work, and that he would be responsible for rescuing and assisting Shinomiya and Fujiwara.

Speaking of which, it was Fujiwara who persuaded Mr. Hai to let them take action. That's amazing. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to communicate with Mr. Hai so confidently and seriously. If it were me... I would definitely not know what to say after a few words, right? I really envy Fujiwara's cheerfulness. She and I have so many similarities in appearance, but our personalities are completely opposite. Fujiwara is like a reversed and upgraded version of me, while I am an autistic and degraded version...

No, no, no, now is not the time to think about these things. Focus on it. Since Mr. Hai doesn't let me interfere with Shinomiya's affairs, I will do my best to do what I can!

Reaching out her hand, Yili wiped the blood from her nose and eyes. Her body was cramped and her capillaries were ruptured due to the massive consumption. Her eyes and nose were bleeding. If she took off her clothes, she could see bruises all over her body, which was a very scary phenomenon. But the girl didn't react much to this. This level of pain was nothing to Yili, who had become a Red Moon-level player. She could even proudly say that she wouldn't scream even if her legs were sawed off without anesthesia.

Buzz——

The 60th clone finally successfully crossed the snow line and entered the area covered with white snow.

It was strange. I could feel that the source of the death intent was gradually approaching, but after arriving here, the activity of the death intent began to decline.

Moreover, the death intent itself became clearer, and the chaotic and distorted things that were originally filled with this power seemed to dissipate.

Yili couldn't tell what this feeling was.

She just seemed to see some people praying with their heads bowed, the closed house, the black stone of the Little Black Mountain God in the house, the statue of the Fox Goddess, and the broken piece of meat on the last seat.

There should be nothing there.

This [non-existent] third god, this high platform that should be empty, was filled with flesh and blood.

It seemed to be cut from someone's body, very fresh flesh and blood.

The evil power spread in it.

The prayers of the Zhang family, which should have a certain direction, bounced back to themselves. Although some people from the Li family and the Liu family were indeed implicated, most people survived in the end under the protection of the mountain god and the Fox Goddess.

Only the Zhang family, who believed in multiple gods at the same time and tried to curse and kill the other two families through this distorted [third god], could not escape. Because they, as the praying ones, are the ones who have a close connection with the non-existent [Third God], and their attack on the Li and Liu families makes them be judged as enemies by the Mountain God and the Fox Goddess, and because they believe in them at the same time, they are judged as believers. In the end, under the conflict of double judgments, the Mountain God and the Fox Goddess both chose to stand by and did not lend a hand to the Zhang family under the conflict of rule power.

[Why... do you want to deceive us...]

The clone controlled by Goto Ichiri has already walked to the door of the Ghost Crying Cave.

In her perception, she can also clearly hear the murmurs of those who are unwilling to die.

The clone took a step and stepped into the dark cave.

[I am so wronged... I hate it so much...]

[Don't... Why is it us...]

[Die together... Everyone dies together... You people deserve to die...]

Countless distorted voices interweave and keep ringing, and one sealed coffin after another appears in the girl's sight.

The more they move forward, the more coffins there are.

And those cries that echoed for a long time also trembled more and more violently as the footsteps moved forward.

In the dark cave in front, Yili saw the huge black coffin and the paper people in white standing next to the coffin.

These paper people were holding paper money, holding up suona, or carrying coffins, just like a marching team that paused and was frozen in this dark cave.

Are they the paper people of the old Taoist priest? No, that's not right. The breath of these paper people is very turbid. They should be paper people made by the Li family themselves. Hmm... First, the cave was used to suppress the Zhang family villagers who turned into strange things, and then after the old Taoist priest arrived, the power of the paper people was used to drive the Zhang family members who turned into strange things?

Yili roughly figured out how the Li family recycled the Zhang family.

As the clone she controlled moved forward step by step, she could also feel that the clone had been locked by something in the black coffin, and the other party couldn't wait to show up.

Squeak--

Accompanied by the harsh sound of the wooden board moving, the next moment Yili saw the slowly opening coffin board and the fingers with black and sharp nails grasping the side of the coffin board through the clone's sight.

Chapter 133 The enemy who reappeared and the person who was too lazy to talk nonsense

That breath was undoubtedly the breath of the core obsession.

The strong hatred and pain that filled the senses were still so clear even with a clone in between. It was so clear that Goto Yili immediately understood that the clone he sent out would be killed immediately, and there was no possibility of getting out of a round under the opponent's hands.

You have to remember the opponent's appearance, so that Mr. Hai can use the blood pen to draw the opponent's appearance more comprehensively, so as to determine the location of the core obsession!

At this moment, Yili's spirit quickly reached the most focused state. She almost instantly remembered this strange creature with a purple and stiff body and old yellow clothes. Then, while transmitting the picture she saw to Gao Hai through the mental link, Yili also prepared for the elimination of this clone.

But this did not happen.

"Huh?"
