Chapter 26: Woe and Evil
After reading the function introduction, Li Shou looked at the last paragraph again.
That's how to use the Deception Crystal.
According to the letter, he picked up two crystals that were constantly changing shapes and slowly attached them to his wrists for the "countdown to home".
At the same time, let go of all resistance in my heart and let the "fraud rules" melt into me.
After a while, he saw two crystals slowly enter his wrist and enter his body, and he closed his eyes and meditated, and two more smart things appeared in his mind.
His mind moved, he felt the vast "giant wood world", he felt that he was in the trunk of the giant tree, and when he felt it carefully, he felt a coordinate in the vast branches and leaves.
A dazzling little dot.
Li Shougang wanted to see what the little dot was, but suddenly his figure flashed, and his consciousness disappeared in place.
……
……
"Ming Teng seven years, the year of great hunger ......"
"Ming Teng seven years, years of hunger, cannibalism ......"
An old man passed in front of Li Shou, his face was like a withered tree, and he was so thin that he looked like a humanoid skeleton.
He was carrying a dead stick, muttering something as he went.
Like the world with task cards, Li Shou couldn't understand what the old man was saying at first, but after two or three sentences, he completely understood.
"Is this some leaf world?" Li Shou looked around.
The old man passed by a dirt road, and there were some mud houses on both sides of the dirt road, and the crow-like birds in the sky were circling and making "quack" calls.
"Uh......" Feeling the breath of the apocalypse, thinking of the letter from Dou Yu, Li Shou guessed, "If nothing else, it should be the next mission world." ”
He sensed something again as he spoke, raised his wrist, and found that not only did he have more than 6 months left to live, but he was decreasing by second according to the law.
There are 14 and a half days left to go home, and the time is also decreasing.
The Fraud Crystal cheated on the rules of the "mushroom" and replaced the "mission time" with "time to go home", allowing him to come to the mission world early.
But you can't make something out of nothing.
"But even that would be an artifact." Originally, Li Shou didn't have much confidence in the past 3 missions, but this time he felt half stable.
"It's no wonder that the elderly version of myself can live so long without exercising, although I still die in the end, but I look at the age at least past the first few games."
"But this time to prepare in advance has to consume the time to go home, only more than 14 days, which is still very precious, and I have to do something."
Li Shou didn't want to waste a minute or a second, and was about to step forward to explore the world.
Suddenly, the old man passing by in front of him fell.
After falling, it seemed that there was no breath, and the "strange birds" hovering in the sky saw this, and finally swarmed down, competing to peck at the old man's body.
The crow of this other world has four eyes, and there are barbs in its beak, and when it pecks at it, the old man even tears off a piece of the belt meat.
And while they were pecking, a large net suddenly flew out from behind the neighboring house.
The rattan net flew out, startling most of the crows away, but the few that were unresponsive were still covered in the net, struggling to make a "quack" sound.
"Caught!" Several teenagers rushed out from behind the house and repeatedly stabbed the nets with sharpened sticks in their hands, killing several crows.
Li Shou looked at the whole time and was about to ask something, but the teenagers came over first.
They were dressed in tatters, their faces were gray, but their eyes were particularly fierce.
After they ran over, they aimed the sharp wooden stick at Li Shou, "We found this person and the four-eyed crow!" ”
"People from other villages, if you want to rob it, I will stab you to death and sell you to the market as a vegetable man!"
"Ugh." Li Shou looked down at his same doomsday-style clothes, "Misunderstanding, I'm not here to grab something, I'm passing by here, can I ask you a few questions?" ”
"Ask, leave after asking!"
The teenagers did not let their guard down, and most of them were still on the defensive, with only one of the youngest teenagers leaving the group to "bag the food".
"I'm coming from the mountains, where is this?"
"Ah, you're coming from the mountains?" When several people heard Li Shou's words, they hurriedly took a few steps back, as if Li Shou had a virus on his body, "Don't come here, you are not contaminated with evil spirits or calamities, right?" ”
"What's that?"
"......" The boys were silent and reluctant to explain too much, as if they were afraid to even mention it.
"Okay, where is this?"
"Xiaosha Village."
"Are there any bigger towns nearby?"
"The county seat is not very far. Follow the hillside and find the prefectural road all the way north. "The teenagers also tried their best to send Li Shou away.
After Li Shou asked about the situation, he didn't feel embarrassed for a few teenagers, so he left quickly in the direction he pointed.
If you want to get more news about this world, you can't just rely on this small mountain village that doesn't know how many people are still alive.
Going to the county is the right way.
The boy didn't lie to him, and after the mountain road came to an end, he saw the county road and road signs.
Without hesitation, I went straight and fast.
Li Shou's endurance is now stronger than that of marathon runners, and he can run long distances.
Along the way, he saw that most of the farmland around the mountain village was desolate, and the degree of dryness and cracking of the fields should be caused by the lack of water, but this lack of water was very "weird".
The trees on the mountain and the weeds on the edge of the fields are obviously lush.
Only the inside of that field was dry as if it had been a year of great drought.
"It's completely unscientific." Li Shou shook his head and came to the edge of the field to observe the situation in the field, but when his fingers touched the dry cracks in the field, the "fraud rules" in his body suddenly moved, making him feel a different breath.
"The breath of disaster."
"Absolute chaos......"
"What do you mean, is this the result of absolute chaotic rules?"
When Li Shou was still puzzled, suddenly black gas began to emerge from the cracks in the field, and after a while, a dark cloud composed of a thick fog rushed straight into the sky.
The breath of "calamity" was refreshing, as if it was about to disrupt everything in order and bring disaster to everyone.
"Run!"
Li Shou left here without hesitation.
The "calamity" was like a natural disaster, and it did not chase after everyone equally.
But he didn't run far, and his eyes suddenly flickered, and an inn with yellow lanterns suddenly appeared on the side of the county road.
The inn, the yellow lantern is hung high, but there is a red candle lit inside, obviously it is still daytime at this time, but the light of the red candle can dye half of the county road red.
"What the hell?" The moment he saw this yellow-skinned lantern inn, Li Shou's cold hair stood upside down all over his body, and he wanted to turn around and run away, but in the clouds and fog around him, he couldn't run out of the range of candlelight.
Just as he was anxious, there was a "squeak", and the door of the inn was slowly pushed open.
A woman dressed in red and carrying a yellow lantern walked out of it.
"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
