There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 181, The fate of the village?
On the way back, Lu Yue saw many villagers heading in the same direction.

When the few people returned to Wang Laosan's yard again, they asked Wang Laosan about the reason for this matter. They learned that the villager in the village was about to give birth, and these villagers were rushing to report the good news.

Because every time a baby is born, someone dies.

The villagers are worried that the newborn will suffer retribution, so they have spontaneously formed a rule over a long period of time that if a newborn is blessed by all the villagers, it means that the newborn will be healthy, free from illness and live safely in the future.

It’s just that this custom is more of a spiritual comfort.

Of course, the most important thing is that when there is a wedding, the host family will usually generously take out eggs, candies, meat and other things and distribute them free of charge to the villagers who come to congratulate.

In the countryside, no one can resist the temptation of free eggs.

"This is an opportunity." Examiner Zhong, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke.

"We can take this opportunity to go inside and find out what happened to that river in the past era."

Lu Yue thought about it for a while and felt that this method was feasible.

In other words, the thinking of this village is too old-fashioned, and most of the villagers are illiterate, and have never even heard of the Demon Suppression Bureau. If they follow the normal procedures to ask, it will probably have no effect.

However, there is still a problem here. Wang Laosan told me that Kuhai Village has always been extremely xenophobic. Some of the grassroots workers who came here in the past were driven out by the villagers before they even set foot in the village.

The reality is that not all rural people are simple.

And sometimes reasoning doesn't work with this group of people.

When Lu Yue told this, Examiner Zhong said calmly, "It's a small matter."

Then she waved her hand gently.

Lu Yue suddenly felt as if he was covered by an invisible film.

Before he could think carefully, Wang Laosan and his sister in front of him were startled and pointed at Lu Yue and examiner Zhong and exclaimed: "You...how come you look exactly like us?"

Only then did Lu Yue turn his gaze to Examiner Zhong.

I saw that the other person had turned into Wang Laosan's sister.

A female college student at the side proudly explained: "This is the illusion of our sister Zhong."

"You stay here and look after them. Consultant Lu and I will go and get the information."

Examiner Zhong began to plan the next course of action. In order to avoid revealing any flaws, she asked Wang Laosan and his sister some detailed questions, trying to ensure that they were not only similar in appearance, but also in their daily speech and behavior.

In this way, Lu Yue became Examiner Zhong's "brother" without knowing it.

In the end, the two left Wang Laosan's yard together.

Along the way, Lu Yue looked at Examiner Zhong, who looked exactly like Wang Laosan's sister, and his mind involuntarily recalled the rainstorm on the first night he arrived in Kuhai Village and the "drilling into the quilt" incident he experienced that night.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Examiner Zhong suddenly asked.

Lu Yue stumbled and almost fell.
Then he came to his senses and looked at Examiner Zhong who had a calm expression.

You're getting into the role too fast, aren't you? ! ! !

"My ability is not mind control, so I cannot force the villagers to tell the truth. In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, we must rehearse in advance to adapt to the roles," explained Examiner Zhong.

Understand!
I understand!!!

It's all about work and people! ! !
Lu Yue was in awe of examiner Zhong, and at the same time he also felt strong contempt for himself in his heart. However, he could not speak out what was in his mind, so he changed the subject: "I was thinking about the question outside the office building when you tested me on seeing through illusions. What points did the three dice show?"

"I don't like gambling. There are no dice in the cup." Examiner Zhong replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yue was speechless.

Next, the two walked and talked.

Trying hard to play the role of Wang Laosan's siblings.

Finally, they arrived near the target villagers.

From a distance, hundreds of people had gathered on the road.

However, at this moment Lu Yue couldn't help but frown slightly.

He sensed a faint aura of death from these villagers.

"Zhong...Sister, have you noticed that these villagers are a little strange?" Lu Yue quickly changed his words.

"You felt it too?" Examiner Zhong looked serious. As a person with extraordinary mental strength, he naturally saw it at the first glance.

Lu Yue nodded: "Just like Wang Laosan's family of three, I originally thought this was just an isolated case. Perhaps Wang Laosan's family of three had the blood of extraordinary people in the Yinmen industry, but now it seems that all the people in this village are unawakened blood extraordinary people..."

"There are many reasons for the death aura in the body. The Demon Suppression Division's Handbook for Handling Supernatural Events records that the death aura on the descendants of the Yinmen industry is a disease that comes from deep in the blood. In addition, if a living person has this kind of death aura and there are no other abnormal symptoms, then it is very likely that they have been cursed."

curse?

The curse of the Kapok Robe on the extraordinary people suddenly emerged in Lu Yue’s mind.

"Some curses come from ghosts, evil weapons, and even some special extraordinary people. Some are mild and non-lethal, while others are vicious and cruel. They not only target the living, but also harm future generations. When I first joined the Demon Suppression Division, I personally participated in an incident of cursing future generations."

"That was my first mission. I was dealing with a supernatural incident with a senior. The location was also a remote mountain village. There was a family there whose entire family was mute. However, they were not born mute. Instead, they suddenly lost the ability to speak when they were 20 years old. What was even more bizarre was that this family all had red birthmarks on their necks, wrists, and ankles. If an outsider lightly touched those red birthmarks, they would bleed."

In broad daylight, the ghost stories told by Examiner Zhong made people feel chilled.

"Have you found out the reason?" Lu Yue asked.

"We found out. The ancestors of that family bought a young woman to be the daughter-in-law of their son. In order to prevent the woman from escaping, they poisoned her and made her mute, and tied her hands and feet with ropes. On the day the woman was forced to get married, she chose to hang herself. From then on, this family has suffered this curse for generations."

"This is karma. It's not that it won't come back, it's just that the time has not come yet."

Lu Yue frowned slightly and fell silent for a moment. Is the victim miserable?

Very miserable!!!!
I don’t know how many generations of ancestors have made mistakes and their descendants have been tortured.

But is that woman miserable?

It’s miserable too!!!
If you put yourself in their shoes, most people would make the same choice.

After a moment's silence, Lu Yue asked, "How was it handled later?"

"My strength was very low at that time, and I was just a bystander. The master who led me at that time once asked me, as a member of the Demon Suppression Division, what is the bottom line in your heart when dealing with supernatural incidents? Is it to protect the living according to the regulations, or to seek justice for the unjustly dead?"

Examiner Zhong did not reveal the master's choice at that time, because the two had already arrived at their destination. When the villagers saw the appearance of "Wang Laosan's brother and sister", the originally lively scene suddenly became much quieter.

The villagers naturally would not think that Wang Laosan and his sister were after the free eggs.

Are they here to cause trouble?

For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward and subtle.

But soon, a villager who was quite familiar with Wang Lao San came over, pulled Lu Yue aside and whispered: "Brother Lao San, there are too many people here, don't cause trouble, it's over. Back then, I was just like you, trying my best to stop it and causing trouble in the village, but I was beaten up, and my grandfather was still forcibly taken away by the villagers."

“This is the fate of our village.”

"No matter what method you use, it can't be changed."

"Perhaps it is true as my grandfather said before he left. The sins committed by their generation will befall everyone in our village..."

Lu Yue couldn't help but glance at the villager. The other party was obviously also one of the victims. Perhaps he could find a breakthrough from him.

For the rest of the time, the brother and sister disguised by Lu Yue remained silent the whole time. Seeing that they did not seem to be causing trouble, the other villagers did not pay any attention to them and started queuing up to wait for the eggs.

Most of the villagers had numb expressions throughout the whole process, as if they were completing a meaningless ritual, without any joy on their faces.

Until a middle-aged man in the village, dressed in tattered clothes, stared at examiner Zhong who was disguised as "Wang Laosan's sister".

"Wu Quezi, why are you always staring at Wang Laosan's sister?"

"I think Wu Guanggun has fallen in love with her."

Faced with the ridicule of some villagers, Wu Guanggun was not angry at all. Instead, he said frankly that he wanted to bring good luck to Wang Laosan's family. He also said that in the future, when he gave birth to a child, he might randomly take the life of a villager.

Upon hearing this, all the villagers shut up. After all, burying a living person involved the safety of their own relatives. What if the other party was right?
Examiner Zhong’s acting skills are even better than Lu Yue’s. Facing Wu Guanggun’s harassment, she successfully portrayed the image of an introverted rural girl to the fullest.

Looking at Wu Guanggun's behavior, Lu Yue thought about it. Although he was not familiar with Wang Laosan, when someone came to chat with him after his "relative" passed away, even the most honest person would lose his temper.

So he raised his hand and slapped him directly.

Sure enough, if an honest person doesn't show off his power, there will always be people who think he is easy to bully.

Seeing that Wu Guanggun continued to make trouble, a majestic voice came from a distance to stop the farce, and all the villagers lowered their heads and made way.

I saw a kind old man with wrinkles all over his face tapping his cane hard.

It can be seen that this old man has great prestige in the village.

Finally, the old man came over and comforted "Wang Laosan".

The general meaning is that they were forced into a desperate situation. The fathers or grandfathers of all the villagers here had experienced living burials. Even the birth of Wang Laosan's brother and sister took away two villagers of the older generation.

So there is no need for anyone to resent anyone else, this is the fate of the village.

Lu Yue's eyes frowned slightly. As the only centenarian in the village who was over seventy years old, this old man was lucky enough not to be chosen every time a new baby was born.

Is it really such a coincidence?

Next, the announcement ceremony went smoothly.

Lu Yue looked around and found that Examiner Zhong had mixed in with the group of women.

He also realized that it was time for him to take action.

He then found the villager who had suffered the same disease as him, and after a heart-to-heart talk, he was able to bring out the long-suppressed emotions in the villager's heart.

"Wang Laosan, there is no hope for our village. I have made up my mind that I will never get married and will remain single. I will live one day at a time. I want to see when God will take away my worthless life..."

Lu Yue patted the other person on the shoulder. In fact, after such a conversation, he found that some villagers still hated the idea of ​​burying people alive, but they did not have the strength, courage, and confidence to break the old rules...

Some things are difficult at the first step.

"There is hope only when you are alive. By the way, you just said that before your grandfather died, he said that it was the people of the previous era who committed the sins. What's going on?"

"You mentioned this matter... I also overheard my grandfather talking in his sleep at night. He said... that his generation seemed to have let down a woman, so the village suffered. I don't know who that woman was, but my grandfather has always regretted this matter."

"Mr. Chen must know. He and my grandfather were from that era..."

Following the direction pointed by the villager, Lu Yue looked towards Old Chen.

Old Chen is the old man with crutches mentioned earlier.

At this moment, the other party was enthusiastically helping the host and running the family in perfect order.

It was at this time that good news came from the owner's house.

"May the river god bless me and have a smooth birth."

"It's born. The baby is coming soon."
