Who invited the witch into the eerie game?

Chapter 112 The Fox Demon Town Under the Blood Moon

"We're back!"

Cao Ziyue returned to the tavern, her face looking very grim.

Shen Junxian, Mabel, and Kono Seiichi were also in poor condition, all three of them were injured, and it was unknown what they had encountered on their way to the mission.

However, in any case, they returned to Fox Demon Town in time before nightfall.

"If we had come any later, we might not have made it back."

Shen Junxian said.

Who would have thought that the fishing rods on the shore of the icy lake at the mountaintop, which looked like they were hooking big fish, were actually bait?

If it weren't for Mabel Holmes, a professional hunter, they might have succumbed to the temptation of fishing rods and tried to catch some big fish from this icy lake.

After all, who can resist the urge to catch a fish?

Especially for the daily air force.

At the crucial moment, Mabel released a puppet to retrieve the fishing rod.

Who knows what happened next, or how the big fish in the frozen lake managed to pull the puppet into the frozen lake in the opposite direction.

Several people gasped in surprise.

But that's not all that's terrifying.

The puppets that Mabel released were equipped with Bluetooth monitoring devices, allowing them to monitor the situation inside the frozen lake via a screen.

He opened a tablet, and as soon as the connection was established, he saw a large number of corpses floating in the frozen lake.

Judging from the condition of the bodies, they were all, without exception, fishermen.

Moreover, they were dragged in by an indescribable giant fish.

This giant fish is a strange demigod—

Seeing this, the group felt a chill run down their spines.

Fortunately, the puppet attracted the big fish, giving them an opportunity.

Through some special means, they first obtained clean spring water flowing into the ice lake and discovered a piece of ancient ice.

Subsequently, after much difficulty, they successfully obtained the ten-thousand-year-old ice.

The whole process seemed to go very smoothly.

However, as they descended the mountain, all sorts of strange monsters appeared.

The group fought fiercely and successfully fought their way down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, Cao Ziyue turned around and glanced back.

The bizarre monsters they had blasted away were now reformed under the influence of the gray mist.

However, they did not pursue them, but stood in the gray fog, watching them go.

It's as if they're saying that everyone will meet again sooner or later.

"Let's go turn in the mission."

Liz said, "The teahouse is still open."

Cao Ziyue, Shen Junxian, Mabel, and Kono Seiichi stared at Liz, speechless.

As everyone witnessed last night, the nights in Fox Demon Town are extremely dangerous.

The fox spirits that appear perfectly normal during the day reveal their true forms at night, transforming into bizarre and corrupted monsters.

Charleson, who attempted to transform into a fox spirit, rushed out last night and has not been heard from since.

Adding to today's mission, they realized that the danger of Fox Demon Town far exceeded that of any other eerie game they had ever played before.

"We'll give you the quest items; go and turn in the quest."

Mabel took out clean snow water and ancient ice from the game terminal. "It's almost night, you'd better come back soon."

"no problem!"

Liz accepted the clean snow water and the ancient ice, and continued, "But tonight, we have a new task: to help Fox Embroidery Workshop dry moonlight cloth at the Moonlight Rice Field."

?

Cao Ziyue, Shen Junxian, Mabel, and Kono Seiichi looked at Liz.

When speaking, is it possible to finish speaking all at once?

"A mission from Fox Embroidery Workshop?" Cao Ziyue asked.

"Yes." Liz nodded.

"Do we need to go and air out the moonlight cloth tonight?" Cao Ziyue asked again.

"That's right."

Liz nodded. "We're going to Moonlight Rice Field after nightfall because they say there will be moonlight tonight, and we can't miss it."

Cao Ziyue rushed out of the hotel and looked up at the sky.

He could vaguely see something that looked like the moon slowly rising on the horizon.

However, no matter how you look at it, it's not the moon you know.

Moreover, the moonlight looked blood-red no matter how you looked at it.

Is it really safe to go out on a night like this?

"Liz, are you sure you'll get a giant fox's tail hair if you complete this mission?"

Cao Ziyue was somewhat unwilling.

Ultimately, he was a little scared.

"Yes."

Liz said seriously.

"Are there any other missions besides this one?"

Shen Junxian asked.

Like Cao Ziyue, he hoped to have a mission where he could at least control his own safety.

"have."

Liz said.

This response immediately caught the attention of the group, who were filled with anticipation.

In this eerie game, even seasoned players will say that cooperation is the best way to maximize everyone's chances of survival.

However, when it really comes down to it, sacrificing one or two teammates is the only way to save one's own life.

Everyone is willing to do this.

That's the situation right now.

It's just that everyone knows it but doesn't say it aloud.

"What mission?!"

Kono Seiichi asked quickly.

"Would you like to give the task assigned by Mayor Tu Shan Fei Yue a try?"

Liz had a smile on her face, seemingly looking forward to her teammate taking on the task.

"No!"

Kono Seiichi asked questions quickly and refused just as quickly, not wanting Liz to reveal the details of the mission.

"Going to the Moonlight Rice Field to help the Fox Embroidery Workshop dry the moonlight cloth is a good task."

Cao Ziyue immediately said, "Since we have two tasks at the same time, then the town mayor's task will be yours, and the Fox Embroidery Workshop's task will be ours."

"no problem!"

Liz readily agreed to the task, as always.

He Nini and Zhou Chuan hesitated, as if they wanted to say something but then stopped.

In fact, the task issued by Mayor Tu Shan Feiyue could only be carried out by the three of them.

The task of drying moonlight cloth at Fox Embroidery Workshop can be done by everyone.

However, Cao Ziyue, Shen Junxian, and the others seemed to have misunderstood something.

The key point is that Liz didn't say anything either.

"Let's go to the Forget-Worry Tea House to turn in the quest."

Liz said to He Nini and Zhou Chuan.

The two nodded and followed Liz out of the hotel; they needed to deliver the goods before dark.

After all, the nights in Fox Demon Town are really dangerous.

"Liz————"

He Nini said, "Did you do that on purpose just now?"

"No," Liz said with a smile. "I've already answered their questions. If they haven't asked, it means they don't need to know."

"The Fox Embroidery Workshop's mission can be completed together," He Nini said. "That way, everyone's chances of survival will be much higher."

Liz stopped and said seriously, "He Nini, do you want to play the saint in this weird game?"

For a fleeting moment, He Nini sensed danger.

He Nini subconsciously took a step back.

In an instant, three illusory shadows appeared around her, seemingly He Nini's summoned creatures.

"It was just a normal discussion, it's normal for her to have doubts."

Seeing that things were not going well, Zhou Chuan immediately came to the rescue.

"He Nini, you don't look stupid at all."

Liz glanced at the three illusory figures beside He Nini and said, "As for me, I have no emotions, but having no emotions does not mean being stupid."

"From the moment they entered Fox Demon Town, Cao Ziyue and Shen Junxian teamed up together."

"6

"A singer and a guitarist, isn't that interesting?"

"Being able to reach Sequence 5 indicates that they are very capable."

"But why do you subconsciously obey the commands of people who have absolutely no fighting ability once they enter this bizarre game? Haven't you ever thought about that?"

It wouldn't have been a big deal if they hadn't brought it up, but after Liz said it, He Nini and Zhou Chuan felt a chill run down their spines.

Especially Zhou Chuan, whose profession is a con artist, and he does similar things.

At first, he was just puzzled by the strange sense of unease he felt when he saw Cao Ziyue.

Now, he understood completely.

"It's bewitching."

"Bewitchment?"

He Nini's eyes widened.

"Yes, that's the ability of a professional singer, or more precisely, charm, making everyone listen to the other person without them even realizing it, and subconsciously think that the other person is the leader."

Liz said, "The reason Cao Ziyue looks so tired is because he's constantly using his abilities."

"This applies to the supernatural, and it applies to you as well."

"The longer you spend with him, the more deeply you will be influenced. In the future, if he orders you to die, you might not even have any objections."

"Alright, it's getting late, let's hurry and deliver the things."

Looking at Liz's retreating figure, He Nini and Zhou Chuan felt Cao Ziyue's terror for the first time.

At the same time, they had a completely new evaluation of Leeds.

monster!

In fact, that's exactly what Cao Ziyue thought.

His profession in the bizarre game is a singer. What can this profession do?

Its initial purpose was to inspire teammates and help them break free from the bewitching influence of strange monsters.

Under normal circumstances, this ability should be highly sought after.

Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, his teammates pushed him out and let him die.

Cao Ziyue survived by a hair's breadth.

From that moment on, he made up his mind that he had to become the captain whenever he entered any weird game.

After all, every eerie game has a death indicator.

As long as he's the captain, he'll survive.

Cavaliers' Charleson was the first.

He Nini, Zhou Chuan, and Liz will be in the next batch after they complete their mission.

Worry-Free Teahouse.

"Boss, here's the snow water and the millennia-old ice you wanted!"

Liz retrieved the quest item from the game terminal and delivered it.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The boss, Qingqiu Gaozhuo, was very pleased to see the gifts sent by Liz and the other two.

He took out a box: "This is what you wanted."

Liz opened the box and found three large fox tail hairs inside, each containing a special energy and a unique aura.

"Thank you, boss!"

"Remember, keep this great fox tail hidden and don't expose it carelessly, otherwise it will attract something very dangerous."

Gao Zhuo from Qingqiu was in a good mood and added, "Also, as a token of my gratitude, I've brewed some tea for you. Please finish it before you leave."

"Okay, boss!"

Liz agreed.

In Fox Town, they had already eaten a lot of chicken with Dr. Celia, so drinking some tea wouldn't be a big deal.

Besides, the boss, who was suspected to be a great fox demon, personally brewed it for them.

A few minutes later, the three cups of tea were ready.

Liz happily drank it.

He Nini and Zhou Chuan exchanged a glance and then drank the tea.

Just as they were about to return to the hotel, the three of them encountered Su Xiaoshuang on the road.

"Dr. Celia, things are bad at night!"

Liz immediately raised her hand to greet him.

"It'll be bad at night!"

Su Xiaoshuang snapped out of her daze and responded with a sound.

She was studying the flowerbed by the roadside, which was planted with a lot of mimosa plants, and next to the mimosa plants were some catnip.

This combination piqued Su Xiaoshuang's curiosity.

Also.

Beneath this catnip lies a fresh corpse.

"Look at this, do you recognize it?"

Su Xiaoshuang pointed to the flowerbed and said.

What?

Liz, He Nini, and Zhou Chuan, look over here.

Beneath the mimosa and beside the catnip, lying the corpse, was none other than Charleson, who had disappeared the previous night.

Charleson, now a corpse, was covered in fur, and his once-robust body had shrunk considerably.

If it weren't for the clothes on their bodies and their faces that weren't completely covered in fur, they wouldn't recognize them at all.

"It's Charleson."

Liz picked up a small twig from the side, poked the corpse, and said, "Our teammate charged into the night last night, and we never expected him to die like this."

Seeing this, He Nini and Zhou Chuan couldn't hold back anymore.

What was supposed to be a terrifying scene turned into something else entirely, leaving them unsure whether to be scared or amused by Liz's actions.

"This catnip seems to purify the pollution."

Su Xiaoshuang looked at the corpse and soon made a new discovery.

Furthermore, the blood essence within this corpse is being devoured by something, and the source of this devouring seems to be at the Three Fox Shrine.

What a coincidence.

"Huh, is it a blood moon tonight?"

Su Xiaoshuang looked at the rising moon with some surprise.

Almost the instant the blood moon rose, Fox Demon Town was plunged into darkness, and a thick gray fog spread out.

At this moment, the slowly rising blood moon began to become increasingly eerie.

No matter what plant it is exposed to, it will be stained with a strange blood-red color.

In the Forget-Worry Teahouse, everyone who had been chatting and drinking tea just moments before fell silent.

Their eyes glowed crimson.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a polluted fox, darting out and disappearing into the darkness.

"Oh dear, it's getting dark."

Liz said somewhat embarrassedly, "Dr. Celia, I'm sorry, we have to go back now."

99

He Nini and Zhou Chuan felt unprecedented tension.

Seeing so many strange and mutated monsters, they were afraid that Dr. Celia in front of them might also change.

Fortunately, Dr. Celia seemed perfectly normal and showed no abnormalities.

"Okay, you can go back now."

Su Xiaoshuang said, "Let me take another look at the night view of Fox Demon Town."

Want to see the night view?

Does Fox Spirit Town have a night view? Even if it does, I wouldn't dare to look.

He Nini thought to herself.

Then, she discovered something even more terrifying.

Charleson's corpse, hidden beneath mimosa and catnip, miraculously "came back to life."

It darted into the darkness like those grotesque, polluted monsters, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Huh?

Su Xiaoshuang naturally witnessed this scene.

Theoretically speaking, such a corpse should not "come back to life".

Because there is no pollution or blood inside the shell, it is more like a puppet than a bizarre monster.

etc----

Su Xiaoshuang seemed to have thought of something.

She walked straight toward the Three Fox Shrine.

If nothing unexpected happens, the strange changes in the entire Fox Demon Town are all related to the Great Banyan Tree Holy Spirit in the Three Fox Shrine.

First came the sacrificial array, then the bizarre, puppet-like monsters.

Everything matches up.
