After awakening, I actually became the ceiling of force value

Chapter 218

Chu Nanyue looked confused and didn't know why Chu Nanxing said that.

Her confused look made Chu Nanxing bring a smile to her eyes.

"There is a contract between Yunyun and I. Although it is not a complete version, we can still vaguely feel the other party's thoughts, so if they have any ill intentions towards me, I will be able to feel it immediately."

"So the situation you are worried about will not happen at all. The black shadow cares about his sister so much. As long as his sister is in my hands, he will not do anything to me."

Chu Nanxing was certainly not the kind of person who would trust others casually.

She knew very well in her heart that the black shadow was a ghost, not an ordinary person, and the possibility of betrayal was far greater than that of ordinary people.

So I have already considered this.

Even if there is no contract, she will use some means to determine the other party's purpose.

Seeing Chu Nanyue's somewhat worried expression, Chu Nanxing rubbed her hair helplessly, "Don't worry, my sister knows what's going on. She will never be careless and put herself in danger."

After several people discussed the next plan, they were just about to find some food to fill their stomachs when they heard a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw the village chief and the others standing at the door with kind faces. They were completely different from the cold and inhumane look last night, when they wanted to fight with them.

It's like two people.

If they hadn't all confirmed what they had experienced last night, they would have doubted whether they were dreaming now.

"Guests, how did you rest last night?"

When others were surprised, Chu Nanxing took a step forward and answered first, "Of course you rested well."

"We have traveled a long distance these days and originally planned to take a short rest in the village, but we are too exhausted and want to stay longer. I wonder if the village chief can make it easier?"

When the village chief heard that Chu Nanxing and the others wanted to stay, he was obviously reluctant, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

But he still had a simple and honest look on his face, and said with a smile, "You have entered our village by mistake. You must have other arrangements. If you stay here for a long time, it will not be good for your journey."

"Furthermore, our village will hold sacrifices these days, and we can't spare any extra manpower to entertain you, so..."

The village chief looked guilty, and expressed the hope that Chu Nanxing and the others would leave as soon as possible.

Sacrifice?

Chu Nanxing is now very sensitive to such things.

She clearly felt the ghostly aura of the black shadow brought by her when the village chief mentioned the topic of sacrifice.

If it weren't for the fact that it was daytime outside, I'm afraid the dark shadow would appear and kill the village chief and his party.

Chu Nanxing injected some spiritual energy through the short-term contract channel he established with them and comforted them, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Sacrifice?"

"I have always been very interested in these cultures. When I came to Wolong Bay nearby, I heard that the nearby villages still follow the passed down customs and hold sacrifices every year."

"Originally, I was worried that I would get lost and it would affect my trip. I didn't expect you have one in your village, so I don't have to worry about missing it!"

The village chief said this because he wanted Chu Nanxing to retreat and leave as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that it would have the opposite effect.

He frowned and said, "The sacrifices in different villages are different. How can the guests change their minds just for the sake of convenience?"

"This is disrespectful to us and the object of our sacrifice." Of course Chu Nanxing knew this, but she would not change her mind just because she knew this.

After all, only by staying here can she figure out the strangeness in the village and rescue such corpses from the formation.

She made a distressed look and said, "Actually, we are not willing to change our minds temporarily, but someone in our group is injured now and needs a good rest, so..."

Chu Nanxing sighed, "Otherwise, we can give the village chief a little more money, and the village chief will treat us as people in your village."

A trace of resistance flashed across the village chief's face, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

Chu Nanxing guessed that he was thinking about how to reject him.

But at this time, a man behind the village chief glanced at Meng Yue and Chu Nanyue, and whispered, "Village Chief, this year's sacrifices have not been collected yet."

After hearing what the villagers said, the resistance on the village chief's face disappeared, and his smile was bright and flattering.

"Logically speaking, there should be no outsiders in the ceremony, but seeing that the guests are looking forward to it, I will set a precedent and leave everyone behind."

Chu Nanxing didn't feel the village chief's embarrassment at all, but felt that he was looking forward to it.

She frowned, knowing in her heart that the village chief probably planned to keep them as sacrifices.

But who will be the sacrifice then is uncertain.

"That's great!"

Chu Nanxing looked excited, "Now we can recuperate and watch the sacrifices here at the same time. It's really like killing two birds with one stone!"

The village chief also echoed with a bit of a smile, but his smile didn't reach his eyes at all. His eyes kept wandering over Chu Nanxing and the others, without any emotion, as if they were looking at the things on the chopping board. The meat on display is the same.

Just when Chu Nanxing frowned and was about to drive people away, the village chief finally withdrew his gaze.

"Life in the village may not be as affluent as outside. I hope you don't dislike it."

"It's getting late. I need to prepare for the sacrifice, so I'll leave first."

Chu Nanxing looked at the red brick houses outside and the clean appearance of the people in the village, and felt that they were not much poorer here than outside.

"Of course I won't dislike it."

After sending the village chief away, Chu Nanxing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If the village chief doesn't leave, she won't be able to suppress the black shadow.

She didn't know if the village chief could see the shadow. If he could, her next arrangements might be affected.

Just thinking about it, Chu Nanxing felt a little headache, and looked at the black shadow with a somewhat unhappy look, "What did you want to do just now?"

The ghostly aura surged around the black shadow, and he was emotionally agitated. His voice was sharp, "That's the executioner who killed me and cut my sister into pieces. I want him to pay the price."

Chu Nanxing frowned, looked at the black shadow and said word by word, "Have you forgotten?"

"You have already killed the people here. Do you want to kill them a second time?"

The shadow roared angrily, "They killed my sister and me, so what if we kill them a second time!"

Chu Nanxing said with a headache, "The village chief is at fault, but the real murderer is the person who encouraged the village chief to do these things. If you take revenge on the village chief now, it may be difficult to find the real murderer."
