When Qi Zihuan found Xiao Ming two miles outside the village, his appearance was really miserable.

I saw him slumped on the ground, his backpack aside, his clothes were disheveled, his face was abrupt, he kept panting rapidly, his calves and stomach twitched involuntarily, his eyes looked at the sky blankly, his eyes didn't move, and he looked like he was resigned to fate.

"Are you alright?" Qi Zihuan asked heartlessly while picking up his backpack to check.

"A lot of dead people...... A lot of ghosts...... It's horrible! "Xiao Ming can't say anything.

"So what? Are you applauded by the ghosts? ”

"Applause? What do you mean? ”

"Applaud for love, papapa."

Xiao Ming, a pure young man who has not been poisoned by Internet buzzwords, took a long time to understand.

"You ......" He felt a mouthful of residual blood stagnate in his chest, and he immediately suffered serious internal injuries.

"Who made you look like you could see through life and death." Qi Zihuan didn't feel guilty, and urged, "It's okay if people are fine, those ghosts are trapped in the village and can't get out." When you've rested enough, hurry up, we still have something to do. ”

"Wait, what did you do in the ancestral hall first? What's in the bag? "Xiao Ming has been only trying to escape for his life just now, and he hasn't checked his backpack.

"Good stuff." Qi Zihuan smiled evilly and said, "I took more than twenty tablets of powerful ghosts. ”

Burst......

Xiao Ming was seriously injured for the second time.

"Okay, don't lie here to play internal injury scenes, there is no young lady here who can strip and heal. Hurry up and carry your bags, we still have to go to Mr. Mao. ”

"Teacher Mao is here too?"

"He's here, he should be nearby, he's the most critical person today!"

……

The key person, Mr. Mao, is eating wonton in a small shop at this time.

When Qi Zihuan set off to visit him and assign him a task, he actually refused at first.

He is not as easy to fool as Xiao Ming, Qi Zihuan is vague, saying that he asked him to come to the village to meet them, but he did not discuss the specific location at all, nor did he arrange for him to do anything. I wanted him to stay near the village and join him when they were done exploring.

It's so suspicious, it feels like a conspiracy.

It wasn't until Qi Zihuan discussed Stanislavsky's performance theory with him for more than two hours, and praised the academic achievements of his book that were comparable to "The Self-cultivation of Actors", that he reluctantly agreed.

Although this Xiao Qi is mysterious, his vision is really good!

While eating wonton, he labeled Qi Zihuan as a "young man with ordinary talent but a passion for art that can be properly cultivated in his spare time".

Before the wonton was finished, the two of them came here.

"Teacher Mao! There are so many dead people and so many ghosts in the village! As soon as Xiao Ming sat down, he began to shout, "Those ghosts have been chasing me, it's so scary!" ”

Qi Zihuan sat opposite and looked left and right, as if he was looking for someone.

"A lot of ghosts?" Teacher Mao's brows furrowed, and he couldn't figure it out.

At this time, the chubby shopkeeper came over and asked, "What do you two drink?" ”

"Coke." Xiao Ming said.

"Thank you, Vitasoy." Qi Zihuan has long wanted to taste this magical drink that has endured in Hong Kong for a long time.

Teacher Mao grabbed the shopkeeper and asked, "Dude, I'm sorry." I would like to ask if there is anyone living in the village in the back? ”

"No one lives there, and it's been empty for decades." The shopkeeper replied.

An old man sitting in the corner with no sense of existence may have heard the conversation between them, and suddenly muttered to the glass of water on the table: "That village is so evil." ”

BINGO！ Qi Zihuan snapped his fingers in his heart.

The old man continued: "In three days, sixty-six people died, and it was all a child......

"Kids?" Xiao Ming listened attentively and couldn't help but interrupt in confusion.

"His name is Li Qiang. Chu Renmei's favorite is him. It's all about a peace bracelet, and it's safe until now. "The old man didn't have any logic in his speech, but it seemed that every sentence was the point.

"Chu Renmei? Peace bracelet? Teacher Mao and Xiao Ming looked at each other.

The shopkeeper brought a drink and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he's a madman." I was talking about Li Qiang and Chu Renmei all day long, but no one in the neighborhood knew these two names at all. ”

"Chu Renmei? I think I've seen it. Qi Zihuan sucked Vitasoy, pretended to think for a while, and said, "By the way, I saw some tablets in the ancestral hall of Huangshan Village, and the first one in the middle is the spiritual seat of the Bumen Chu clan. ”

At this time, everyone turned around again and found that the old man had left at some point.

Qi Zihuan couldn't help but want to get up and applaud.

A character like Lao Bo, who goes from a passerby with no sense of existence, suddenly has to talk to the protagonist, and then provides some key information concisely to move the plot forward.

Who is this?

It's an NPC!

When Qi Zihuan watched the movie back then, he felt as if he had seen a big exclamation mark on the old man's head. When one of the main characters, Mr. Mao, talks to him, the system will "ding", prompting you to get a new task - "Find the Lost Xiaoqiang".

The reason why he had to go to great lengths to invite Mr. Mao over was to trigger this plot.

Just imagine, if it was only him Qi Zihuan, not to mention that there were so many small shops in the surrounding villages, where would he go to find the mysterious old man.

Even if he can eat a bowl of wonton, he will run into it, but will people take care of him?

Not the protagonist's life!

Qi Zihuan was looking at the shadow and feeling sorry for himself, and the hairy teacher began to analyze and summarize again.

"Based on the information we have now, it should be reasonable to speculate that that Chu Renmei is the blue-clothed female ghost you have seen. For some reason, decades ago, she suddenly burst out and killed people and almost wiped out the village. And the key to stopping her from continuing to kill at that time should be a child named Li Qiang and the peace bracelet. ”

"Then how are we going to find this Li Qiang?" Xiao Ming asked.

Qi Zihuan found that Xiao Ming was really an excellent supporter, the kind that leaders liked the most when they held meetings.

"I have a friend who works at the police station, and I can ask him to help with the check, but it may take a few days." Teacher Mao did not waste the ladder handed by Xiao Ming, and seized the opportunity to show his connections.

Qi Zihuan interjected: "Then so be it." Teacher Mao, please find a friend to find out this person named Li Qiang as soon as possible and find out what happened to Chu Renmei. ”

Teacher Mao readily agreed: "Okay! I'll let you know when I find it, and we'll ask him when we're there. ”

"Xiao Ming, you put your backpack in my place first. And then you're going to the asylum for the next few days to watch over Annie and Biggie and don't let anything happen to them again. ”

"Okay."

Teacher Mao was a little curious, and couldn't help asking, "Then what are you doing these days?" ”

"Me?" Qi Zihuan finished taking the last sip of Vitasoy and stood up, his expression a little firm.

"I'm going to open the altar and cross the soul!"
