Chapter 4 The Girl Who Was Sacrificed
The two words are very simple and calm, not a request, not a request, not heartbreaking, nor low-minded, but to Qi Daoyuan's ears, it has a different taste.
It was after being tormented by the painful life to the point of numbness, and there was only a trace of hope for light left in my heart, and I thought that such an expectation was just an illusion, so I didn't have much hope, and the complex and chaotic emotions were mixed together, and it turned into those two words.
It may sound a bit of a mouthful, but it's true.
Qi Daoyuan didn't know why he was able to taste so many things from two words, he looked at this weak girl, and didn't ask her why she came here, because this was obviously a systematic arrangement, he just solemnly replied with two words.
"Yes. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar system prompt sounded in Qi Daoyuan's mind.
"Ding, congratulations on successfully opening the hidden mission - saving the sacrificial girl.
Mission requirements: On the premise of ensuring the personal safety of the villagers of Ningshi Village, prevent the girl Shen Yunzhu from being sacrificed.
Reward: 100 Genesis Element.
Background: Omitted.
Mission time: 6 hours.
The countdown begins, and we wish you a happy mission!"
Looking at the big word "omitted" in the background introduction, Qi Daoyuan was speechless for a while, how lazy is the system, so he doesn't even write the introduction, how can he start? But fortunately, the person concerned was right in front of him, so he simply asked her directly.
"Is your name Shen Yunzhu?"
The girl was surprised: "You...... How will I know my name?"
Qi Daoyuan smiled incomprehensibly and said, "Because I am the one who is destined to save you, of course I know everything." Okay, let's talk about why you were sacrificed. ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "Didn't you say that you know everything, why do you still ask me?"
Qi Daoyuan felt that he was choked, and sure enough, the master was not so easy to pretend, so he simply said: "Hey, don't care about these details, I just want to understand the background story in detail, and then think of ways to rescue you." ”
The girl frowned, obviously a little incomprehensible to the word "background story", but still asked seriously, "Are you really willing to save me, but it may mean that you have to be the enemy of the whole village, and I don't want to trouble you." ”
Qi Daoyuan said with a smile: "You don't want to bother me, why did you want me to save you just now?"
The girl lowered her head and whispered, "Because of me, I don't want to die." ”
Qi Daoyuan: "You don't want to die, and I don't want you to die, but you have to tell me why you want to die, so that I can find a way to prevent you from dying." ”
Qi Daoyuan said this sentence very seriously, and the girl also listened very seriously, and after a while, she nodded, her eyes seemed to light up, and she said slowly: "This matter started a year ago. ”
"My father used to be the head of the village, he was strong in martial arts, and kind-hearted, often helped the people in the village, and had a very high prestige in the village.
There are a few hunters in our village, who go hunting in the nearby mountains every few days, leaving early and returning late, and nothing happens. One day, they went into the mountain early, but none of them came back until the sun was about to set. My father hurriedly took two brave villagers to the mountains to look for them, and this search lasted all night, and when it was dawn the next day, he and two villagers dragged their seriously injured bodies and returned with a bag of blood-stained tattered clothes.
It turned out that those hunters had actually met a bear king in the mountains, and when my father followed the trail to the scene, they had almost been eaten by the bear king. My father was angry and led people to fight with the bear king, I don't know how the bear king grew, not only is he extremely cunning, but the offensive is also quite fast, my father can only fight it with serious injuries and repel it even if he fights for his life.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but who knew that the evil bear actually held a grudge, and after a few days, he followed my father's scent and came to the village, and not only healed from his injuries, but also grew a little bigger. At this time, my father's wounds on his body were not healed, but for the safety of the village, he had to fight with it, and in the end, although he repelled it again, he also died of his injuries.
After my father left, my mother and I depended on each other, and the people in the village regarded my father as a hero and took great care of us, but I didn't expect that after a few months, the bear king came again.
At this time, the bear king's body has doubled compared to before, and he actually said that because of my father, he will always hate this village, but if the village sacrifices a woman every three months, he can not hurt others.
After my father's death, my mother has long been born and died, in order to give the village in exchange for some time to permanently solve the disaster of the bear king, she took the initiative to choose to die, and entrusted me to the village people to take care of, maybe in her opinion, my father and she died because of protecting the village, I should be protected very well in the future. But how do you know ......?"
The girl's face showed a burst of bitterness, obviously reluctant to mention what happened after that, but without her needing to say, Qi Daoyuan also guessed the probability.
After the death of Shen Yunzhu's father, the villagers must not only not remember their protection of the village under the obscenity of the bear king, but will resent them for annoying the bear king, which caused a disaster for the village.
As for the sacrifice, who would be willing to take out his daughter to sacrifice, Shen Yunzhu has no father and mother, of course, he is the best candidate at present.
Maybe this is naked human nature, very real, but it also makes people angry!
"Xiao Jiu, can I take Shen Yunzhu away and let that bear king destroy this group of ungrateful beasts?"
"Master, this does not meet the requirements of the mission, and will be judged to have failed the task, and you will not be able to get the reward. ”
"What kind of bullshit reward, I don't want it, I just want her to live. ”
"If the mission fails, Shen Yunzhu will cease to exist~"
"Nani, don't be so ruthless, don't rely on being a computer to do such inhuman things!"
"Master, Xiao Jiu is just doing things according to the rules of heaven, what is human nature, is it delicious?"
"You...... You ......"
"Actually, the master doesn't have to be too angry, why not ask the person in question what he thinks?"
Qi Daoyuan looked at the poor girl in front of him, and asked in a calmest tone as much as possible, "Do you hate these villagers?"
The girl's face showed a look of struggle, and all kinds of complex emotions alternated, and after a while, she let out a long sigh, as if she had lost all the strength of her body, and said: "Hate, how can you not hate, but what is the use of hate? They are not people like my father, they don't want to fight, once and for all solve the trouble of the bear king, they just want to get a short peace through sacrifice, but this is tantamount to drinking water to quench their thirst."
It was me who sacrificed this time, but next time, what about next time? If the sacrifice continues, the strength of the village will only get weaker and weaker, and the bear king can bring down the village without blowing the effort. They only see the immediate benefits, how do they know that death is not far away, and in my opinion, they are just a group of poor people with a short eye. ”
Qi Daoyuan was stunned, he didn't expect to experience a realistic version of the ideological and political class from a teenage girl, this consciousness, this IQ, and this level are not like an NPC.
Well, since the main owner has said that these villagers are just rookies whose IQ is not online, then Qi Daoyuan is too lazy to bother with them, let them fend for themselves.
But in this way, if you want to complete the hidden mission according to the requirements, wouldn't you have to fight with the bear king? This bear king looks a little powerful, and I don't know what level it is.
"Xiao Jiu, is there any relevant data about the bear king for my reference. ”
"Master, the Bear King is currently at the beginning of the vein, that is, the early stage of your human condensation. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a scum of the Ning Yuan Realm. Hey, no, wait!Xiao Jiu, I'm not connected to the Trick Realm now, this broken bear is actually from the Ning Yuan Realm, how can I fight!"
"Master, although your cultivation realm is not high, due to the superposition of a variety of passive attributes, your true strength should be at the peak of the Tongqi realm, as long as you play it a little, you should be able to beat it. ”
"That's not a big level down! I don't want to be able to fight, I have to be able to fight! Give me some plug-ins! Otherwise, I won't do this protagonist!"
