I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 155 Strange Things Happen
Shen Tinglan didn't want to agree at first, but Ling Yun couldn't help persuading her around.

Seeing that the other party was acting uncharacteristically, it seemed that he was determined to win over Erika, but in desperation, he had no choice but to let go, and only said to observe Erika's situation for a while.If the opponent finds another lost companion later, they must leave their team immediately.

"Really? Then thank you, Mr. Yun, and thank you everyone for taking me in!" Erika breathed a sigh of relief, and kept bowing to everyone in thanks.

Su Li didn't say much to Ren Yao, but Tang Yao changed her usual gentle appearance and turned extremely gloomy, as if she was really angry with Ling Yun.

"Sister Tang Yao, are you jealous? I was joking with you just now. Brother Ling is not the kind of person who is interested in sex. If you don't leave Erika behind, can you share some of the pressure for you?"

Zhao Sicheng joked a few words, but was soon interrupted by Shen Tinglan: "Okay, it's the second day now. Now that the security restrictions have been lifted, the other two teams should arrive here soon. Before that, I have something I want to ask Erika. Regarding the ruined temple you mentioned, where is it?"

"It was on top of that hill when the Fifth District was attacked from the west."

Erika pointed to the north of the village, and quickly recalled: "As for the empty temple, Xiangta said, its history looks very long, as if it has a history of thousands of years. But there is nothing inside, and it seems to have been abandoned long ago. Therefore, we don’t know what is enshrined there. Oh yes, there is an extremely old well a hundred meters away from the temple, and there is nothing else.”

"Now it seems that there must be a reason for the space to transport us to these places."

Shen Tinglan picked up a branch and drew a plan on the ground near the village.Combining the location of his group after entering the dungeon and the location of Erika's team, he speculated that another team, the sixth district, should be located in the deep mountains to the east.

Shen Tinglan patted his dusty trouser legs, and said to everyone: "Now that the situation in the village is almost understood, let's investigate the ancestral hall and the ruined temple on Beishan mentioned by the headless ghost last night. However, there are many dangers in the surrounding mountains and forests, and we may encounter other curse spirits."

"Not only that, but there is also a high probability of encountering the fifth and sixth districts. To be on the safe side, it's better for us to investigate the ancestral hall in the village first." Lin Yuanqi added.

His proposal was approved by everyone, and after a consensus, everyone decided to turn back.

Along the way, Erika kept chatting with Shen Tinglan, Zhao Sicheng and others in order to get closer to everyone, actively sharing the information she had at hand.

However, Ling Yun walked behind them, changing from his previous relaxed appearance, he looked worried.

Erika Nakama... Now, everyone is really in trouble.

Ling Yun glanced at the taciturn Tang Yao beside him. Ever since he said good things for Erika, the other party has been so depressed and uncharacteristically did not talk to him.

Ling Yun thought, Tang Yao was probably dissatisfied and angry with herself.She was angry that she was dazzled by benefits and beauty, and took in this suspicious woman.

But in fact, Tang Yao's concerns are completely correct.

The heart of this woman, Erika, is completely opposite to her harmless appearance: she is extremely sophisticated, good at calculating, and will hide her identity; even Lin Yuanqi, a wily and calculating guy, fell for her this time .

As Tang Yao said before, Erika's abilities do have an unknown side.But it's not that Lin Yuanqi's information is wrong, but that everyone who has been in contact with her has been completely deceived by the other party.

Now the only ones who know the truth, apart from those who have died, are probably only himself and Su Li.

When lobbying his companion just now, although Su Li didn't express his opinion, he understood what he meant.

Well aware of the particularity of Erika's abilities, Ling Yun and Su Li already knew from the first moment they saw each other that the lives of all their companions were already in the hands of each other.

But fortunately, Erika Nakama was extremely cautious in doing things, and she didn't want anyone to see through her true colors unless it was absolutely necessary.

Rather than killing everyone in her team, Ling Yun prefers that she just wants to be innocent, continue to maintain the current image of the harmless little white lotus, and use everyone to pass the assessment of the treasure hunt game.

But if I didn't help persuade everyone to let her join just now, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous.

Ling Yun once wrote such a setting: Whenever Erika is in the mood to kill, she will subconsciously lick her lips.

Therefore, at the moment when I saw her showing killing intent just now, I suddenly interrupted Shen Tinglan and tried my best to persuade everyone to take Erika in.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun shook his head helplessly.All he can do now is to take good care of the aunt in front of him. When the task is over, the crisis will be automatically resolved.

As for Tang Yao... Forget it, after returning to the base, Su Li will definitely explain the reason to everyone.

Erika has been stabilized for the time being, out of the psychology of taking advantage, she will cooperate with everyone in the future.Compared to this, the next problem everyone will face is the most difficult.

"It's not right...you look ahead!"

On the way back, Zhao Sicheng suddenly noticed a curl of white smoke floating over the village in front of him.Seeing this scene, he immediately became nervous and asked Lin Yuanqi if he had extinguished the fire source when he left.

Lin Yuanqi repeatedly assured that he would never make such a big omission. Just when everyone wondered whether the white smoke was related to the other two teams, a figure suddenly appeared on the country road not far away.

The moment he saw the stranger appear, Ren Yao immediately assumed an offensive posture, but soon, Shen Tinglan stopped him.

"Wait a moment."

Shen Tinglan stared at the figure approaching in front of him, doubts gradually emerged between his brows: "This person's attire does not seem to be a player."

In the eyes of everyone, a middle-aged man in his forties with dark skin slowly walked over.

The man seemed rather surprised by the appearance of Shen Tinglan and others.After he approached, before Shen Tinglan could speak, he walked up to Fang Fang with a vigilant expression on his face, and asked actively.

"Are you foreigners? What are you doing here?!"

The man spoke with a strong local accent, and was dressed like an authentic farmer: he was carrying an empty pole with a hatchet in it; he was wearing a gray homemade double-breasted coat with trousers as big as a bucket; his waist was slanted Insert a dry tobacco pipe with a red cloth pipe hanging on it, and when you move around a little, the cloth pipe dangles, which is very eye-catching.

"Isn't Guxun Village a ghost village? Where did this farmer come from? I'll go, are we going to hell in broad daylight?" Lin Yuanqi approached Zhao Sicheng, and gently poked Zhao Sicheng with his elbow.

But soon, Zhao Sicheng shook his head calmly, and told him in a low voice that the man in front of him was a genuine human being.

"I'm sorry uncle, my friend and I came to this area to do research work, and we accidentally lost our way. I want to ask, are you a villager in Guxun Village?" Shen Tinglan reacted quickly, and he suppressed the doubts in his heart , communicated normally with the man.

The middle-aged man let out a "hmm" and kept looking at the people in front of him, with a dubious tone: "Our village has never welcomed outsiders. You should leave quickly!"

Hearing what the man said, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, even Su Li was puzzled.

Judging from what he said, it seemed that there was no abnormality at all in Guxun Village, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it all the time.But didn't the people in Guxun Village disappear long ago?But now, what the weird farmer in front of him said was quite different from the truth.

Where is this... exactly playing?
"Wait, is there really nothing wrong with your village?"

Lin Yuanqi couldn't help but interrupted the other party: "Could it be that there hasn't been a large-scale disappearance of population recently? When we came yesterday, there was no one in the village!"

"What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man frowned, but what he said was like a thunderbolt, hitting everyone's hearts hard: "Everything was normal in the village yesterday. Everyone stayed in the village and didn't see any foreigners appearing at all. Stinky Boy, don't talk nonsense!"
