My second-year syndrome: All my fantasies have come true

Cao Lihao nodded, "I think we can give it a try."

In fact, they didn't even have to say anything.

That night, some villagers set up guard outside the temple.

They even borrowed a tent from an old hunter, and worked in groups of three, taking turns on duty.

Holding shovel, fork and other farm tools in his hands.

Compared to outsiders like them, the people in the village were completely unaffected by the cold night wind.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt a lot more relieved.

It was just late at night that Lu Jing heard some noise outside.

He climbed up and looked into the distance.

There was a fire in the distance, it seemed like there was a fire somewhere.

You can faintly hear people begging for mercy.

It was too far away and Lu Jing couldn't hear clearly.

"No.....No...I didn't do it..."

"It really wasn't me.... Spare me."

"I didn't burn the mountain temple...it should be someone else, you ask them, I've been at home the whole time."

Then, the man's voice turned into a wail.

Then the sound disappeared.

Those villagers were not just talking, they really went to settle accounts with the villagers with the surname Li.

Apparently, lynching was also used.

"........."

The next day.

When everyone arrived at the mountain temple, they were all stunned.

Some strange things appeared in front of the mountain temple ahead.

When I got closer, I saw that there were several wooden stakes that had been erected there at some point.

There was a person tied to each wooden stake, four in total, three of them were men and one was a woman.

They all looked to be in their forties or fifties, all tied naked to wooden stakes, their bodies covered with scars and blood.

Some people lost an eye, and some people broke several fingers.

There was another person who had stopped breathing, with his head hanging down, looking extremely miserable.

What was even more terrifying was that there were two ferocious wolfhounds squatting nearby, greedily gnawing on the body of the dead man.

Seven or eight villagers stood in front of the wooden stake, holding various weapons.

When he saw everyone coming, he immediately put on a smiling face.

"You guys are here. It's so cold. Thank you for your hard work."

"My family is slaughtering a pig and eating pork tonight. Everyone must come." Another villager said enthusiastically.

"Yes, yes! Sauerkraut stewed with pork, his wife's cooking is delicious."

"Are the ox carts enough? Do we need to find another one?"

These villagers all had simple smiles on their faces and looked warm and friendly.

However, to Lu Jing and others, this smile seemed extremely strange.

The surrounding environment was filled with a depressing atmosphere, as if it made people breathless.

I couldn't help but feel a chill running down my spine, my heart filled with confusion and uneasiness.

They stared at the four people hanging on the wooden stakes, with a little fear and shock in their eyes.

These four poor fellows had obviously suffered inhuman torture.

The body was twisted and deformed, and blood was dripping.

His expression revealed despair and pain, which was in stark contrast to the smiles of the villagers.

"them...."

One of the men said in a deep voice: "They are the murderers who set fire to the temple. They must pay the price for what they did!!"

Cao Lihao nodded with a forced smile.

The girls in the team looked away, unable to bear to look.

After leaving the mountain temple, everyone walked up the mountain.

Because of the fire, they had to go and chop some more wood.

"They... were quite cruel. I think one of them seems to be dead." Miaomiao said.

“They deserved it! Who the hell let them set fire to the temple we built? They deserved it.

They burned our temples, which is equivalent to murdering us. It's either you die or I live!"

Fan Zhiyu disagrees.

"But...but this is against the law."

The person who was speaking was a little girl. This was her first time participating in a dungeon.

Fan Zhiyu snorted coldly, "Law? You can go find the police.

If we could find the police, we wouldn't have to build this temple."

The little girl was choked and stopped talking.

"But why did those villagers burn the mountain temple?" someone asked curiously.

"Why else? It's probably because of the obstacles that the dungeon has set for us. Otherwise, we would have built the temple too smoothly."

This statement is more reasonable.

Wait until they come back from chopping wood.

The four men on the wooden stakes in front of the temple were all dead at this moment.

After being tortured all night, he was already covered in scars.

Now it is the coldest time of the year and I have been stripped of my clothes for a day and a night.

It would be strange if he didn't die.

But the villagers still refused to move the body, saying that this would deter other people with bad intentions.

I don’t know if it shocked other people, but it did shock Lu Jing and the others.

Within one night, the body had frozen into an ice sculpture.

There are four human-shaped ice sculptures placed there. People with poor mental quality would be scared to death if they take a sudden look at them.

Although everyone has seen the corpse, they are not murderers after all.

I still feel quite uncomfortable with this scene.

"........."

So during the break, Cao Lihao organized everyone to walk around other places in the village.

Who knows, there may be other rules that have not been discovered yet.

Lu Jing and Miao Miao were in a team and they headed towards the center of the village.

Miaomiao stretched lazily and said:

"This mission is so boring. I like to just do it! I'm not good at things that require my brain."

Lu Jing smiled.

"By the way, you said before that you participated in more than a dozen dungeons. Is that true?"

"Really." Lu Jing said.

"Are you kidding?" Miaomiao raised an eyebrow.

Lu Jing hummed.

"Why do you want to join the organization?"

"Because he's handsome." Lu Jing said without hesitation, "What about you?"

"Me? Of course it's because of the captain."

"Captain Cao Lihao?"

"Not this captain, but the legendary captain."

Miaomiao pointed upwards.

It was as if the captain existed in the sky.

"Have you seen it?" Lu Jing asked suspiciously.

Miaomiao proudly puffed out her slightly barren chest and said, "Of course I have seen him, he's so handsome! I'm going to marry someone like him in the future!"

"Oh...."

Lu Jing agreed perfunctorily.

Miaomiao was dissatisfied, but saw Lu Jing lowering his head and staring at the crack under his feet.

"Is the earthquake that serious?"

Lu Jing smacked his lips.

The background of the story is an earthquake that collapsed the original mountain temple.

That's why they need to build mountain temples.

The cracks left by the earthquake were like a huge spider web, densely covering the entire village.

These cracks vary in depth, width and narrowness, and some are even big enough to fit a leg through.

Especially as you get closer to the center of the village, the cracks become bigger and bigger.

In some places the ground had completely cracked, forming deep gullies that were difficult to cross.

Some places have only sunk slightly, but it is enough to make people scared.

These cracks not only destroyed the village's roads and houses, but also made the once familiar homes unrecognizable.

The villagers can only carefully avoid these cracks and find safe paths.

As I walked further, a familiar sign suddenly appeared in front of me.

Marked in red.

[Don’t go near the ancestral hall in the center of the village]

Lu Jing and Miao Miao looked at each other.

Another rule was discovered.

"Let's go and take a look." Miaomiao said.

Lu Jing pointed at the guidelines.

Miaomiao said: "Don't go inside, go outside and take a look."

Lu Jing didn't insist.

If Captain Cao Lihao were here, he would definitely stop the two of them.
