[Praying for Rain Village] Conjecture on the way of life

Once horrible thoughts take root in the mind, it's hard to weed them out.

Food.

Those two words couldn't be waved away as they surfaced in front of the trio's eyes.

"It can't be ..."

"Even if it's for food, it's not like killing someone!"

Liu Chengfeng sucked in a breath of cool air.

What he feared was not the killing itself.

Rather, it was the reason why that group of villagers killed Guang Xiu's entire family ... just because of a mouthful of grain.

"This kind of thing has long been not the first time, in ancient times, once you met a great drought and famine, you would evenThere are people who eat their children easily, and many people think that this is just an exaggerated description, but it's actually not exaggerated at all!"

Ning Qiushui spoke in a heavy tone.

"Of course, that's not the most terrifying."

"After all, people in that kind of environment can only follow the law of the weak and the strong in the end in order to survive!"

"What's truly terrifying is that those who did evil but after getting through the peril, they covered up their crimes through lies, and also planted the evil on their victims!"

"Back then, what Guangxiu's family was robbed of was not just food, but also their lives, their reputation ..."

Bai Xiaoxiao also sighed with sympathy:

"This is the most terrible ..."

"Everyone knows you're innocent, but not a single person has come forward to speak out for you, they've even banded together toMade up your ridiculous crimes, then pointed a finger at your nose and judged you ..."

"I think I can probably understand why this village has given birth to such horrifyingly severe ghosts ..."

"This is no longer simply a life and death grudge."

Feeling heavy-hearted, the three of them didn't continue talking, and just returned to their guest house in silence.

Up to now, they had been able to basically guess what had happened in the village back then in general, but they had yet to search for a way out of life.

Time passed quickly, and it was soon dinner time again.

Due to everyone's caution, apart from Tang Jiao, the crowd did not shed any more members.

There were still seven people left.

During dinner, everyone sat at the table in silenceNot a word.

Only Luo Yan, staring at her dinner plate, kept smiling.

She smiled in a weird way and looked very trance-like, not knowing what she had gone through alone in the guest house all afternoon.

Ning Qiushui sized up Luo Yan, always feeling that this smile of hers seemed like she had seen it somewhere before, but couldn't recall it for a while, and the others of course also noticed this, and motionlessly moved away from Luo Yan some positions.

And so, the round dining table presented a very strange picture -

Luo Yan was sitting alone in one seat, with not much on either side, and the remaining six people were all crammed on one side.

"Luo Yan, Luo Yan!"

"What are you laughing at?"

Finally, someone couldn't help but speak up.

It was Zong Fang, the girl who was so timid.

She was frightened by Luo Yan's appearance.

But Luo Yan didn't reply to her at all, holding chopsticks in her hands, she didn't even pick up any food, she just stared straight at the plate in front of her, and from time to time she let out a light laugh, as if there was someone beside her telling her jokes and teasing her.

This scene was really bizarre to the extreme, Zong Fang felt that if there weren't so many other people in the room, she would have run out at the first opportunity without looking back!

"She, what's going on with her?"

The man with glasses also panicked.

But there was no one to answer his question, because everyone didn't know.

Ning Qiushui was still burying her head in her food, but from time to time, she would raise herThe eyes inspect Luo Yan for a moment, seemingly observing something.

Until sometime later, he suddenly stopped pinching the food.

He remembered.

He finally remembered why he felt that the smile at the corner of Luo Yan's mouth was so familiar ...

It was because this smile, just a short while ago, he had seen it from Mi Lan's face!

At that time, the Divine Woman approached the bedridden Mi Lan, recited some incantation and sprinkled something at her, and after that, Mi Lan revealed such a smile!

Could it be that ...

the Divine Woman did this?

What was she trying to do?

Just as Ning Qiushui was contemplating, Luo Yan was indistinctlyTrance suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

She walked like a walking corpse, looking lifeless.

But the people in the room didn't dare to stop her either.

It wasn't until after she walked away that Zong Fang weakly vocalised:

"Are we ... we going to die?"

There was a sense of panic and crying in her tone.

"There are only the last four days left, we've basically been to all the spots we can go to, and we've basically searched for all the clues we can find ... but we still haven't found out where the way to life is!"

"Is there ... no way of life in this door at all?"

People's emotions would be the first to collapse under great pressure.

And once the emotions break down, the next thing to suffer is the intellect.

People in this state would constantly doubt themselves and everything around them!

The faces of everyone were not looking too good.

"Hey, Bai Xiaoxia, did you guys get any useful clues?"

"Let's hear it, it's better for everyone to help figure it out together than to fight alone!"

"After all, we're kind of on the same rope now!"

Although the glasses man was a newcomer and didn't perform much better in many aspects, the way he took the initiative to look for a way out also brought his teammates a great deal of confidence.

"Alright-"

"We did find some useful clues, now we still have seven people left ... Oh no, to be more strict, there are only six people left, so I will share what we got."

Bai Xiaoxia narrated.

She first told the people present about the famine in the village a hundred years ago, while later mentioning about the hints given by the Blood Sect.

"The hints given by the Blood Sect are usually not complete, in fact, this village has a [Evil Doer] in addition to the [Virtuous One], [Compassionate One], and [Innocent One]."

"And that [Evil Doer] is the goddess of this village!"

"Conjectures about the way of life ... We need to help the Good One take revenge, eradicate the Evil Doer, and then help the Compassionate One find its lost head and restore stability to the village."

"And we have less than four days to complete all of this."

"If we don't finish all of this before the Temple Festival, then the ... thing we face at that time is likely to be the final reckoning of the [Benevolent Ones] and the [Compassionate Ones]!"
