Chapter 37 You have no choice

Wu Chang's move was unintentional. He wanted to find something to hold against Liu Wu in order to blackmail him and extract some information from him.

Unexpectedly, this didn’t matter, I actually caught a big fish.

Liu Wu, who was clean and tidy when he went in, just like an ordinary villager, came out after changing his clothes, and there were seventeen or eighteen light red resentments on his back.

The owners of these grievances are all players.

The last scene they encountered before their death was that they were dragged into the Ghost Forest by Liu Wei and Liu Wu, and tortured in various cruel ways until their death.

Such an experience should have made them resentful towards Liu Wei and Liu Wu, but when they were in the village, Wu Chang never saw any resentment from them.

The reason why he was able to escape resentment should be related to Liu Wu's outfit.

What he didn't expect was that the red meat ball of resentment he encountered when he was trying to find Liu Ning's soul was not the evil spirit that was the protagonist of the New Year's Eve festival, but the thing in the Ghost Forest.

No wonder the symptoms of possession of the villagers he treated the next day were very different from Liu Ning's.

There are two "evil spirits", one of which is an imitator, so this makes sense.

Wu Chang's eyes became particularly eager, Liu Wu, Liu Wu, you have brought me such a big surprise.

"Why are you here!" Liu Wu was shocked to see Wu Chang, who was supposed to be going to Chenjia Village, suddenly appear in front of him.

Wu Chang pointed the gun at Liu Wu's forehead and kindly reminded him:
"Brother Liu Wu, hidden weapons have no eyes. Don't act rashly or you will lose your life in vain."

Silver Dawn condenses silver bullets too slowly, which is very wasteful when dealing with non-spiritual entities and monsters.

In order to achieve freedom of shooting, he bought 100 rounds of armor-piercing bullets before entering the dungeon.

Each bullet costs 10 Decayed Silver Coins, and if you buy 100 bullets at a time, you can get a 8500% discount, which means one bullet is equivalent to yuan in real life.

It’s expensive, but the advantage is that you can bring it into the dungeon regardless of your worldview.

The power of the bullet is only slightly stronger than the armor-piercing bullet of a real-life pistol, but it is more than enough to penetrate Liu Wu's C-level copy.

Liu Wu didn't know what kind of hidden weapon the short stick in Wu Chang's hand was, but the death threat from the short stick was particularly clear, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Those who abandon the knife are civilians, those who hold the knife are thieves.

The cunningness of the bandits made Liu Wu change his face immediately and questioned righteously:
"Master Wu, everyone in our village treats you like a distinguished guest and entertains you without any neglect. Why did you sneak attack me?"

Wu Chang put the muzzle of his gun against Liu Wu's forehead and asked while searching him:

"Hospitality means that before I even finished dinner, they dragged me out to save people, and kept me busy until late at night. The next morning, they woke me up early and treated me like a free doctor. Afterwards, they didn't even give me a rest or a lunch, and drove me out to run errands?"

"Uh..." The momentum Liu Wu had built up with great difficulty was suddenly dissipated, and sweat began to appear on his forehead.

No, everyone was just saying polite words, why are you the only one who takes it so seriously? Where is your chivalrous demeanor?

"At least our intention is shown." Liu Wu said stubbornly.

Wu Chang asked with a half-smile, "You mean I just saved the village chief's granddaughter, and you and Liu Wei are discussing how to deal with me?"

Hearing this, Liu Wu's whole body shook, his eyes filled with anger, and he was about to stand up and fight.

Wu Chang pulled the trigger, and the bullet grazed Liu Wu's cheekbone, giving Liu Wu the same ears as the president.

Liu Wu's eyes suddenly cleared up and he lay back on the ground. "How did you know?"

Wu Chang ignored Liu Wu. Following the instructions of the village guards, he took away all the weapons hidden on Liu Wu's body. Still feeling that it was not safe enough, he tied Liu Wu up with a thick rope.

He looked up and down at Liu Wu, who was tied up like a dumpling, and muttered quietly, "How troublesome. Why not just kill him and search his soul directly?"

Seeing the panic on Liu Wu's face, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I was just joking to ease the atmosphere."

Liu Wu laughed along with him.

Wu Chang: "I'll take it seriously when you don't cooperate."

Liu Wu's smiling face froze instantly.

Seeing Liu Wu's increasingly uncomfortable expression, Wu Chang knew that he had achieved his goal.

Being a bandit is a business in which one has to put their heads on the line. Those who can make a name for themselves are all ruthless people who are not afraid of death.

Threatening with life and death will not hurt them. If you really want to get something out of them, you have to win their hearts.

Only if they are scared will they cooperate and tell the truth.

Wu Chang nodded behind Liu Wu, then turned back and said expressionlessly:
"I ask, you answer. Don't try to lie to me. There are people who can help me distinguish the truth from the false."

Liu Wu turned his head and looked back, looking at the empty woods, and felt a chill down his spine.

"Don't look at it. You can't see that there are ghosts in the forest standing behind you, waiting to testify for me." "The first question is, why did you attack so many passing players... passing knights, and bring them to this forest for interrogation?"

"Let me count. Eighteen innocent souls raised their hands and said you killed them."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Wu's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

After a brief shock, he seemed to have thought of something and said calmly:
"What else could it be? Of course, I wanted to torture them to find out the method of cultivation and gain an opportunity. But I underestimated the number of those little lunatics. I killed more than eighteen, but thirty-two!"

In response to Liu Wu's probing, Wu Chang snorted and continued to ask:
"All eighteen of them said you took something from them and screamed for you to give it back. What did you take?"

"Impossible! Can you really see the souls of the dead?!" Liu Wu was really panicked.

The previous problem might be that the mountain guard, the little fool, leaked the information and told Wu Chang the secrets he had secretly seen in the past few years.

But Wu Chang’s second question, the little fool would never know, that is their biggest secret!

Wu Chang said as a matter of course:
"Even if Liu Wei didn't tell you, you should have heard the rumors in the village. The night before yesterday, I dragged Liu Ning's soul back from the underworld."

Liu Wu's eyes showed a fierce look and he shouted, "Kill him!"

As soon as these words came out, the ghosts around the two of them began to wail loudly, and the light red resentment on Liu Wu's mask was ready to move.

Wu Chang took out the Soul-Cleansing Flag, pointed it at Liu Wu's mask, and suppressed the resentment.

He sneered, "Do you think you can still drive away the ghosts in front of me?"

Liu Wu knew that if he continued asking, things would get out of control, so he closed his eyes and stiffened his neck.

"I don't know anything. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. If grandpa screams in pain, then... "

Wu Chang stretched out his hand, pinched Liu Wu's lips together, pulled them upwards, forcibly interrupted the spell, and prevented Liu Wu from saying the most powerful part.

"Don't rush to say something that would kill you. I'm just a passerby. I don't have any deep hatred against you, and I don't care what you've done. I'm just curious about your actions and want to verify them with my practice method, so I came to ask a few questions."

"If you understand, just blink and we'll continue our conversation."

Seeing Liu Wu blinking, Wu Chang loosened his fingers, allowing Liu Wu's lips, which had been pinched into a duck's mouth, to bounce back.

Liu Wu looked at the wounds all over his body and said sarcastically:

"You attacked me from the dark and crippled my hands and feet first, and you still say that you have no ill intentions. I'm really curious about what you young heroes from famous families think is malicious."

Wu Chang shrugged and said lightly:
"If I remember correctly, Liu Wei's wife and children are all in Huaigu Village. The third child was born half a month ago, right?"

Liu Wu sneered disdainfully, "Threatening my family, is that all you can do?"

"No, I'm just reminding you to think more about their position."

"For example, if I tell the villagers that the evil spirit that attacked Liu Ning that night was actually a ghost raised by you brothers, and that Liu Wei attacked Liu Ning in order to usurp the position of village chief, how will Liu Wei's family deal with it then?"

Liu Wu retorted: "What happened that day was my own decision. It has nothing to do with my brother."

"You care about Liu Wei so much, it really shows that brothers have a deep bond."

The young village guard said that Liu Wei and Liu Wu had a very good relationship. Last year, when the hunters went into the mountains to hunt and encountered a monster, it was Liu Wu who used himself as a shield and sacrificed himself to block the monster's attack, thus saving Liu Wei's life.

The lame leg of Liu Wu was the result of the reattachment of the severed limb.

Wu Chang continued, "If that's the case, then I say that you are actually innocent and you were all controlled by Liu Wei. Not only was the evil spirit brought about by Liu Wei, but the failure of the two New Year's Eve ceremonies was also caused by Liu Wei."

Liu Wu said angrily: "Brother is loyal to the village! Do you think Shan Shu will believe this nonsense?"

"Why don't you believe it?"

Wu Chang stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and said slowly:

"I just happened to be passing by. I am a famous hero who is brave and righteous, and I am willing to take risks myself. You brothers are evil people hiding in the dark, raising monsters."

"Just bring the villagers here. I have a way to prove that you are raising monsters. Will the villagers believe me or Liu Wei?"

Liu Wu was so anxious that his eyes were about to burst, "You!"

Wu Chang: "Let's make a deal. As long as you tell me everything honestly, I will pretend that I know nothing. Not only will I let you go, I will not tell the villagers about the Ghost Weeping Forest, and I will leave directly after the New Year's Eve Festival."

"How about it?"

Liu Wu was silent for a moment and asked, "How can I trust you?"

Wu Chang had already considered Liu Wu's difficulties, and with an understanding smile, he replied, "You have no choice."
