I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 25: Live Meat Steamer (5)

As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Niu pinched his nose and snorted.

"If someone comes again, I won't give him credit."

Taoist Priest Niu drew a third circle on the ground, arranged the props brought by the villagers one by one, and lit a few incense sticks.

Gray smoke rose up, carrying with it a choking smell of fireworks.

Taoist Priest Niu took out a piece of talisman paper, lit it, and poured it into the water bowl after it burned to ashes. The clear water in the bowl quickly became turbid.

"Drinked."

Taoist Priest Niu held the bowl of water and gave an order to Lin Yuan.

[Plot props: Talisman water]

[Effect: Probably useless, it can only make people dizzy and nauseous, which is harmful to health]

Lin Yuan clenched his fists and forced a fake smile: "Do I have to drink it?"

Taoist Priest Niu shook his head: "If you don't drink it, my exorcism ritual will have no effect."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, took the bowl of water, and his eyes moved around restlessly.

Next to them, the villagers roughly pressed Zhu Laosan's wife to the mud ground. The woman had woken up long ago and was struggling violently, emitting indistinct cries of pain.

The villagers forced the magic water into her mouth.

Lin Yuan retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes to look at the sewage where black paper scraps were still floating, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

To exorcise the ghost after being possessed, and to smoothly advance the plot, it is best to cooperate with the NPCs.

Although the thought of throwing away the talisman water or passing it on to later players flashed through his mind, Lin Yuan didn't want to do that.

In the game, she will be attacked by the dark shadow that jumps out of the NPC, so the ghosts defined in the game are real, and the corresponding "ghost exorcism ceremony" is also real.

It doesn't matter what the truth is, even if it goes against common sense.

As long as the game stipulates that it is true, it is true.

Lin Yuan must complete the ritual to drive out the shadow.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan let out a long breath, no longer hesitated, and drank the talisman water neatly.

The talisman water had a strange smell, which made my stomach churn and I felt dizzy.

Lin Yuan suppressed the urge to vomit, bent over, and staggered into the red circle drawn by Taoist Priest Niu.

"Okay, put her in too." Taoist Priest Niu commanded.

The villagers did as they were told. Zhu Laosan's wife lay in the circle with her cloudy eyes open blankly, seeming to be half awake.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise not far away, and Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the sound.

"Juliet, what's going on?"

Yan Xianglong, who was at the end of the team, asked. He looked around and saw Lin Yuan standing in a red circle, and Juliet standing on the outskirts of the crowd, as if waiting for them.

Juliet glanced away in silence.

The remaining four players arrived together.

Chen Xiaodong was carrying the still unconscious Feng Xiao on his back. His breathing was steady and he didn't look tired at all. It was estimated that he walked the second half of the journey leisurely.

Yan Xianglong and Zheng Zhiqing stood very close to each other, and there was an indescribable weirdness in the atmosphere between them.

Forget it, saving people is important.

Juliet swallowed her breath and quickly turned back to wave to the Taoist priest: "Master Niu, my friend is here!"

She walked to the yellow-robed Taoist priest and said with a hint of pleading in her tone, "Please save them, Taoist priest."

After Juliet walked away.

Seeing that Juliet did not answer the question immediately, but greeted an NPC instead, Zheng Zhiqing frowned slightly, took Yan Xianglong's hand, and said in a tender voice.

"Brother Yan, look at this woman, she doesn't even take us seriously."

Yan Xianglong felt something tickling his palm, which made him feel numb and itchy, with a secret sense of stimulation.

He laughed playfully: "Then Juliet really deserves to die."

On the other side, hearing Juliet's plea, Taoist Niu had a smug look on his face, as if he was proud that so many people asked him for help.

He took out the talisman paper, pretended to rub it a few times, lit it with incense, and in the blink of an eye, he had produced a cup of talisman water.

Taoist Priest Niu brought the talisman water and was about to feed it to the unconscious Feng Xiao personally.

"Bang--"

A hand swung from the side and knocked the bowl of water to the ground.

Zheng Zhiqing innocently put her finger on her lips and said quickly, "I didn't mean it."

Taoist Priest Niu's face turned cold: "This is your friend. If you want to treat him like this, I can't save him!"

Hearing the accusation from the NPC, Zheng Zhiqing waved her hand without taking it seriously, as if to show off the slap she had just given him: "Old man, don't think I don't know. You are just a stinking charlatan, and it's enough for you to cheat a few idiots in a remote village."

"If you want to use the magic water to trick us, you're still far from it!" Zheng Zhiqing smiled proudly.

Taoist Priest Niu was so angry that his beard stood up. He lowered his head and spat, then went back angrily to continue his ritual.

The three sober players looked at each other. Yan Xianglong observed the situation for a while and said, "Put Feng Xiao into the circle first."

The three people possessed by ghosts were in a circle. Except for Lin Yuan who was standing, the other two were lying down.

Lin Yuan looked at Taoist Niu. Everything was ready and the other party was about to start "performing rituals".

Sure enough, in the surprised eyes of the villagers, Taoist Niu held the ghost-chasing banner, closed his eyes and concentrated, muttering something.

Following the rhythm of the spell, he swayed his body in exaggerated movements, as if he was communicating with the gods.

"An old shaman is an old shaman. He performs his magic in a very realistic way."

Lin Yuan said in his heart, and then shifted his gaze to the other two.

Among the three people participating in the exorcism ceremony, Zhu Laosan's wife was the first to show unusual behavior.

The poor woman was trembling all over and twitching on the mud, her hands tightly grasping her head, and her hair was being pulled out piece by piece.

Blood was all over his face and he roared in pain continuously.

Her reaction seemed to prove the powerful magical powers of Taoist Priest Niu. The villagers applauded and looked at the Taoist Priest with awe.

They were amazed and chatted excitedly, talking about all kinds of things, but no one showed sympathy for the woman on the ground.

"Look, Taoist Niu's ritual worked!"

"The Taoist priest is indeed very powerful. Now that Zhu Laosan's wife is feeling so uncomfortable, the dirt in her body must be feeling bad too!"

"Master, don't stop. If you stop, the ghost won't be driven away!"

The pain was not only felt by Zhu Laosan's wife.

At the same time, Lin Yuan opened his red and swollen eyes, his mind was almost a mess.

She saw Taoist Master Niu jumping harder and harder amid the villagers' excited shouts, and the pain in her mind became more and more intense.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but want to put his hands on his head, like Zhu Laosan's wife, pull out handfuls of hair, tear his scalp, and let the blood flow to his cheeks and neck.

As if this could alleviate the pain deep in my soul.

But reason told her not to do that.

Lin Yuan's eyes were bloodshot and his breathing was heavy and disordered.

Lin Yuan clasped his hands tightly together out of habit, closed his eyes, and listened to the buzzing sound in his ears gradually disappear, and everything returned to calm.

She opened her eyes again.

The black shadow flew away from my sight and dissipated into the air.

Zhu Laosan's wife sat on the ground. She looked much better and her eyes were clear. There was no trace of her previous madness.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan thought of something and turned her head to look for the unlucky player who was also possessed by a ghost like her.

Taoist Priest Niu's exaggerated voice, like that of an old naughty boy, came from here.

"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences."
