Are there other players involved?

As soon as Zhang Yi said this, Qing Ying and Lingling's eyes moved.

Wan Lingling said: "Shadow Dancer, do you mean that another group of players who came to this trial space with us killed the people who participated in the Autumn Water Sacrifice here for some reason?" ”

Zhang Yi nodded clearly, and said at the same time: "Now our mission of 'participating in the Autumn Water Festival' has been interrupted, but the system has not judged it to be a failure, but let us continue to explore, it is obvious that the key to our plot is in this murder scene." ”

At this time, Qing Ying spoke: "This is a confrontation trial, if there are really players in the team that kills the villagers, then the task we will most likely receive next is to find the truth and capture the real culprit, and the system will completely put another group of players on our opposite side!" ”

Wan Lingling, whose ability was limited, deeply agreed with this, and held his forehead and said helplessly: "It's really unpredictable, why is it so difficult to play a game." ”

Zhang Yi looked around, and then asked Qing Ying: "In this temple, have you found any traces and clues that can point to the murderer, if so, maybe we can follow the vine and trigger the plot directly." ”

This is indeed a good direction.

After Qing Ying got up, she sorted out her thoughts a little and said: "Judging from the situation at the scene, the villagers who participated in the sacrifice here should have been suddenly attacked by hidden weapons from outside the house, and then the people outside rushed into the temple and attacked the people here with hoes, sickles and other objects. It's a mess here, but if you distinguish it carefully, you can't see the footprints that fled out of the house, we have the help of the demon dog, and it shouldn't be a problem to chase all the way. ”

With Qingying's words, Zhang Yi and the others were relieved.

At this time, there was a sudden ethereal sound of musical instruments outside the house, including bronze utensils, sheng flutes, and drums. A new story evolution begins!

What's wrong?

Zhang Yi frowned, looked at his companions, and led everyone outside the house.

At this time, under the shrine with dense autumn trees, the fog is even thicker. Zhang Yi came outside the house and saw Chen Chuan first, but Chen Chuan looked blankly at the fog and muttered, "Ah Mu, where are you going?" ”

Zhang Yi heard the prestige, but saw that Li Mu, the soul master holding Reiko Ikeda, was walking towards the white mist step by step at this moment, although he only saw the back, everyone could see that this Li Mu seemed to have lost his soul.

"Everyone, keep up."

Zhang Yi immediately moved, quickly keeping up with Li Mu's pace.

In the white mist, everyone's eyes were blurred, there was a feeling like staying up all night before falling asleep, and the alarm clock went off.

Li Mu saw that it was in front of her, but Zhang Yi and the others were just a little behind her.

There must be something strange in this, when moving forward, Zhang Yi took care of the situation of his companions, and silently reminded himself that he must not lose his mind at this moment, if he accidentally touches the Tao, it will not be good.

The strange sound in my ears continued, and suddenly, a "Kagura Dance Hall" located on the side of the temple appeared in front of everyone.

Kaguraden is an important place in the Neon Country Shrine, and it is an important place of worship to provide kagura and dance to the gods.

The strange sound of whimpering came from here.

Coming to this place, Li Mu and Ikeda Reiko stopped, and behind, Zhang Yi and the others looked in the direction of the dance hall, and suddenly their hearts beat and their scalps were numb, and in the hall, a group of women with white makeup and sacrificial costumes were beating again and again in the drum.

Their eyes are unfocused, and their toes are covered with white socks. One jump, one more jump, another jump, off the ground, the heels of this group of people seem to have never really fallen to the ground, the women's bodies are rickety, their heads are lowered, their arms swing in an oozing posture, click, click, these people's heads, shoulders, waists, seem to be able to be concave at will.

It was obviously a sloppy eye, but Zhang Yi and the others only felt that this group of women dancing the sacrificial dance were staring at them with affection, as if they were inviting themselves to dance together in the dance hall.

Come on, come on......

Barking.

With a dog barking, Zhang Yi and the others barely came back to their senses, and at this time, whether it was Zhang Yi or the others, their foreheads were covered with a circle of cold sweat.

"A group of 'people' with a lot of yin energy." Inexplicably, Zhang Yi only felt that the white hemp rope and clothes on his body seemed to be wrapped a lot tighter, and his arms were also stiff. The inexplicable yin aura on the clothes seems to be related to the undead who have inexplicably appeared in this Kagura Temple.

Zhang Yi opened his mouth and said to his companions: "The atmosphere here is very unusual, everyone be careful. ”

Then Zhang Yi said, "Why did these Yin Spirits appear here, could it be that they were drawn out by the bloody qi in the temple?" ”

At this time, Li Mu, who had been in a trance, suddenly spoke: "Several, I, I seem to understand what they are singing." ”

"Really?" When Chen Chuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Say it quickly." ”

Li Mu looked at the crowd: "The song sung by this group of people is full of ancient meaning, it should be a kind of sacrificial text, and I only roughly understand some meanings." ”

Then Li Mu sorted out the words in his mind that he understood, and said: "This group of people seems to mention the Qiushui River, saying that the people in the shrine will choose to sacrifice here every time the autumn is about to end, and when the Qiushui River has the most water. However, it seems that some demon has offended the Akisui Society, so the guardians of the Akishui River fight with the demons. The song is about the war between the villagers and the demons. ”

"That's probably what it means, the song is full of sadness, which makes people feel very uncomfortable" Li Mu's expression was ugly, and the grievances of the ghosts in the Kagura Hall deeply infected her, casting a big shadow on the girl's psychology.

Suddenly, the system said, "You have received a new mission. ”

"Quest Requirements: Find the 'demon' in Kagura ballad and protect Akisui Shrine."

After hearing this, Chen Chuan immediately excitedly greeted everyone: "How is it, have you all heard it?" ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly, a sacrificial woman quietly stepped in front of Chen Chuan, with a white face, blurred eyes, red lips tightly closed, with a hint of joy at the corner of her mouth, bowing down, half a head short of Chen Chuan, her head tilted, and she looked at Chen Chuan who suddenly raised her voice with curiosity.

"Oops, Mom!" Chen Chuan was excited, and burst out with a northeast accent, "I'm scared to death." ”

Zhang Yi first stared at the ghosts for a while, then looked at Chen Chuan and reminded Chen Chuan: "You be quiet, don't anger the ghosts and gods here." ”

Chen Chuan's face was already pale, and when he heard this, he couldn't stop nodding, and after a long time, the female ghost suddenly felt bored and left quietly.

At this time, everyone had sorted out their emotions, and in a blink of an eye, the fog of Kagura-den disappeared, and there was no drum beat and no sacrifice.

Everyone exhaled a long breath of turbidity.

It was also at this time that Qing Ying said, "Everyone, I have a branch task here. ”

Qing Ying took out some of the key evidence she had taken out from the scene of the temple tragedy, and said: "These hidden weapons have triggered a new plot, and it turns out that the plot mission of the temple tragedy requires us to watch the shrine sacrifice and learn the news of the existence of the 'demon' before it will be triggered. ”

"Mission Requirements: Find the real culprit of the temple tragedy and bring him back to the temple."

Zhang Yi and the others' eyes lit up, this is not an ordinary side quest, its appearance marks that the "confrontation mission" of this trial has finally appeared!
