I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 26: Live Meat Steamer (6)

Taoist Priest Niu smiled happily. Lin Yuan heard the old charlatan's voice and looked towards the third circle.

Within the red circle outlined by low-quality dye, Feng Xiao was lying in the mud, with half of his body outside the circle and half inside.

Blood was oozing from his nose and ears, and his body had already become stiff, like a sculpture crawling on the ground.

As if he died with his eyes open, his eyes were wide open and staring ahead in fear.

But Feng Xiao was clearly crawling out, and the real source of fear should be behind him.

Lin Yuan was puzzled and finally Taoist Niu told the truth.

"That girl knocked over the life-saving talisman water I gave him. He didn't drink the talisman water, so he couldn't drive away the ghost." Taoist Priest Niu spread his hands helplessly, "The ghost in his body was angry in the circle, and the ghosts driven out from outside were circling around him. That's how he became."

Lin Yuan's focus was on the first half of Master Niu's sentence.

"Master, what does it mean to spill the talisman water?"

Lin Yuan slowly looked at Zheng Zhiqing who had a nervous look on her face.

Although she was a little incoherent, Zheng Zhiqing still defended herself: "No, I don't know if the magic water is useful! Why are you just looking at me?"

She curled her lips speechlessly, as if her teammate's death had nothing to do with her.

Zheng Zhiqing cast a resentful look at Taoist Niu: "Why don't you explain it clearly? It's all your fault, you old man. You killed our companions..."

Taoist Priest Niu snorted disdainfully: "I have nothing to say to a selfish, unjust fool like you!"

After saying this, he gave further instructions to the villagers.

"The ghost that possessed Zhu Laosan's wife has been driven away, but there is still something dirty left in her body. A more grand ceremony is needed to completely eradicate it."

A villager asked stupidly: "Master Niu, we know that with your ability, you can definitely cure Zhu Laosan's wife!"

"But for this ceremony, we don't know how to make it grand..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish, Taoist Priest Niu smiled profoundly and said, "This is easy. Tell Zhu Laosan and the village chief to prepare the gift money and set up the banquet. I will come when the time comes."

The villager nodded blankly, then suddenly realized: "Master, I understand. You mean that we can just leave the ritual matters to you, and we will take care of the rest?"

Taoist Priest Niu nodded slightly.

The villagers had just witnessed a ghost exorcism, so they naturally believed what Taoist Niu said. They immediately split up and went to the village chief and Zhu Laosan's house to inform them of the matter.

[The plot node "Exorcism Ceremony" has been completed]

[The villagers brought the crazy woman from Zhu Laosan's family to see Taoist Priest Niu, who performed a ritual to exorcise the ghost.]

[After the ceremony, Zhu Laosan's wife is indeed much better. The Taoist priest said that another ceremony is needed to completely eradicate the dirt. Zhu Laosan is invited to hold a banquet and all the villagers are invited to witness it.]

[Please go to the "Village Chief's Courtyard" to trigger the plot]

Looking at the text that kept refreshing on the panel, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a little dazed.

It wasn't because of the newcomer's death, but because she suddenly realized that she was only lucky to be alive.

If Juliet didn't happen to know him, she wouldn't have volunteered to go to Taoist Niu's house without telling him.

If I were as unlucky as Feng Xiao and met those three teammates...

Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

But she saw that these three men walked over leisurely and did not take the life of the person they were carrying seriously.

Zheng Zhiqing even deliberately knocked over the props handed to her by the NPC, and after Feng Xiao died, she could still take the blame as a matter of course. If she had been less lucky... wouldn't Feng Xiao's ending be her own?

Yan Xianglong, Chen Xiaodong and Zheng Zhiqing, the three of them, can be said to have a life-and-death feud with me.

A rare and strange feeling of sympathy arose in Lin Yuan's heart. He felt that compared with the three of them, he was as kind as a bodhisattva.

"Xiao Lin, are you feeling better?" Juliet walked over and patted Lin Yuan's shoulder to comfort him.

"Don't be too sad. It's very common for things like this to happen in games."

"Be optimistic, at least we are still alive, right?"

Juliet was very sensitive to other people's emotional changes, and she sensed it the moment Lin Yuan was depressed.

She thought that Lin Yuan was so young and had just entered the game, so he might have never seen such a cruel scene. It was normal for him to feel a little lost for a while.

And I need to help her adjust her emotions and let her deal with the next plot with a normal mentality as soon as possible.

Juliet sighed and talked about her mental journey when she first entered the game.

Lin Yuan's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

She thought to herself, you may not know, four people died in my first copy, and the deaths of two of them were more or less related to me.

The remaining three players came over. Chen Xiaodong lowered his head and said nothing. Yan Xianglong explained, "What happened to Feng Xiao was indeed an accident. Although Zhiqing was at fault, the fault was not hers alone."

He began to extend the blame to the NPCs and the game, carefully avoiding the players from being blamed. In short, the things he was blamed for were getting bigger and bigger, and even Lin Yuan couldn't stand it anymore.

Without giving the five-star player any face, she looked at him with a mocking look and sneered, "Apart from the facts, don't they have any fault at all?"

Yan Xianglong paused, obviously realizing that this argument would be of no use to Lin Yuan.

He knew that he should just keep his mouth shut now, because talking more would only make the situation worse.

Zheng Zhiqing was somewhat dissatisfied, but she was afraid of this girl who would knock her to her knees as soon as they met, so she could only look to her boyfriend for help in a wronged manner.

Unfortunately, the caring boyfriend didn't even look at her.

Lin Yuan sneered, stopped talking to the three people, and walked straight to the next plot location.

The village chief's courtyard.

The villagers coming and going were busy setting up the banquet. They brought in wooden tables and benches and set up a wide stove on the spot.

On the small mahogany table under the eaves, there was a thin gift book wrapped in a red cover and a thick stack of banknotes.

But no one dared to take it, because everyone knew that it was prepared for Taoist Priest Niu.

Taoist Priest Niu is an immortal who can communicate with gods. How could they take his money?

The big man in an apron was busy beside the stove, and the firewood was burning vigorously.

As the villagers who came after hearing the news took their seats one after another, Lin Yuan, who was sitting at the table with the children, finally saw the panel refreshed.

[You have arrived at the village chief's house. The village chief and Zhu Laosan have indeed prepared a banquet as Taoist Priest Niu said.]

[It is to exorcise the evil spirit for Zhu Laosan's wife and also to let the villagers get some fairy spirit]

[Perhaps Taoist Priest Niu himself did not expect that the villagers had prepared a feast that day. When Taoist Priest Niu heard that the gift money had been prepared, he said that he would be there soon.]

[…Master Niu has arrived, and he brought a huge steamer with him]
