Chapter 418: A Strange Place
I don't know how long it took, in a blur, the sound of the breeze blowing through the grass sounded in his ears, Lin Ze suddenly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a verdant meadow.
The ankle-high grass swayed slightly, bringing a fresh breath around the wings of the nose.
Lin Ze was stunned for a few seconds, and then looked around, and found that he had come to a strange mountainous area, and there was no half a figure around, and Qiao Qi, as well as the White Throne, the starry sky, and the hundred ghosts all disappeared.
"What's going on?" Lin Ze looked back on the previous battle, and could still clearly remember that the angry sinner's seppuku self-detonated billowing black smoke that drowned everyone, and then he lost consciousness, and then came back to his senses and was already here.
"Is it a dream similar to the one back up to when you were jealous?"
Lin Ze whispered thoughtfully, thought about it and walked forward.
If this is a dream created by the Angry Sinner, then it is necessary to find its dream clone and kill it before it can be released.
However, Lin Ze faintly felt that this should not be a dream made by the angry sinner, after all, the anger genus ability is mostly biased towards frontal combat, and it stands to reason that it should not have a strange ability like a dream.
Besides, if it did have this ability, why didn't it use it in the first place, and waited until it was near-death?
Lin Ze was puzzled in his heart, this forced copy was full of strangeness, whether it was the number of monsters beyond the ordinary, or the current situation, it was full of strange aura.
The further he went, the surrounding environment gradually became desolate, Lin Ze looked into the distance, and could vaguely see shadowy houses in the distance, and when he got closer, he could see the rising smoke of the cooking, thinking that it should be a village.
Seeing this, he immediately quickened his pace, and in a short time he came to the nearest place, and sure enough, it was a village as he had guessed, but it was very dilapidated, and the outer perimeter was a simple fence made of wood, and many of the houses in it were made of a mixture of thatch and wood, except for the one in the center that was a brick and stone building, which stood out among the thatched wooden houses.
Inside and outside the village, many men and women wearing shabby clothes made of burlap, with sallow faces and thin limbs, were working, and when they saw Lin Ze coming, they stopped what they were doing and looked at him in disbelief.
The clothes Lin Ze was wearing had already been replaced with an off-white linen shirt and pants, although it was simple, it was undoubtedly much better than the ragged appearance of the villagers in front of him.
After a commotion, a middle-aged man in his forties, who was still in good health, but also had a gray face, walked out among the villagers, and from the eyes of the people around him, he seemed to be the leader of the village chief.
"My lord, what is the matter with you coming to Qingcao Village?" The middle-aged man walked up to Lin Ze and asked tremblingly, looking very respectful, Lin Ze keenly noticed that the villagers' eyes couldn't help but look at the clothes on his body, obviously it was this clothes that he didn't think was worth mentioning that won him respect.
"Qingcao Village, what kind of place is this?" Lin Ze asked.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and replied: "Qingcao Village is an affiliated village of Masai City, and about ten miles east from here is Masai City. ”
At the mention of Masai City, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with yearning unconcealedly.
"Are you from another town?"
Lin Ze nodded, and continued to ask quietly, "You are the village chief of Qingcao Village?"
"Yes, sir. ”
The middle-aged man replied cautiously, and Lin Ze then asked him some more questions, basically answering all questions, and found out a lot of information.
After a while, Lin Ze turned around and left, heading east, ready to go to the village chief's mouth to find out what Masai City was talking about.
"It seems that this is not a dream for angry criminals. ”
Now Lin Ze can be sure that his previous doubts are right, if it is a dream, it should be based on the player's memory to create a plausible scene, and then lure the player to get lost in the dream step by step.
But everything he has seen so far can't find similar memories in Lin Ze's impression, and the villagers of Qingcao Village don't look like dream characters, if you really say it, it's a bit like an NPC in a game copy, a living person in another sense.
"Could it be that this is actually a copy?" Lin Ze couldn't help but have this thought in his mind, but then shook his head, it was too unbelievable.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Ze frowned suddenly, turned around and looked behind him suddenly, and saw a thick black smoke rising in the distance, which happened to be where Qingcao Village was located from the location.
After a moment of silence, he pulled his legs and hurried back to Qingcao Village, and it didn't take long for him to return to the village gate.
Qingcao Village had now become a bloody battlefield, many unclothed but fierce-looking men were scurrying around the village with sharp knives in their hands, cutting down people on sight, and the ground was already covered with many corpses, most of them old people, children and young men, while women were driven into the middle of the village and piled up with their belongings.
As far as the eye could see, the whole village was blood-colored, and the fire of the lit hut spread, and in the blink of an eye, it burned to the houses next to it, and together it turned into a raging pillar of fire, and black smoke rose into the sky.
Terrible screams mingled with maniacal laughter, converging into waves that echoed over the village.
A pair of young men and women fled to the entrance of the village in horror, looked up and saw Lin Ze, their faces showed joy, the man opened his mouth and just wanted to shout, but was slashed in the back by the bandits who chased after him, and immediately fell to the ground with a scream, and his body trembled a few times before he lost his life.
The woman's face changed drastically, screaming and throwing herself on the man's corpse and crying bitterly, looking like the two were a couple.
The bandit who killed the man looked greedily at the woman sitting on the ground wailing in despair, and then looked at Lin Ze, and couldn't help but be stunned when he noticed the clothes on the latter's body, and then a greedy green light bloomed in his eyes, and he strode over with a smile.
"Lao Tzu is lucky, I actually met a fat fish, and this set of clothes belongs to me!"
As if he didn't want to stain his clothes, the bandit didn't mean to use the knife, but stretched out his black palm and grabbed it at Lin Ze's neck, with a hideous smile on his face at the same time.
However, in the next second, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and quickly turned into a frightened look, and he looked at his palm in fear as flames ignited, and spread to all parts of his body at an alarming speed.
He opened his mouth to call for help, but it was too late, and in an instant, the whole person was overwhelmed by the flames, and the next second the breeze blew, and his body instantly turned into countless fly ashes and disappeared with the wind, leaving only a small black mark in place.
