Josh followed the group through the grove to the ancestral hall.

The old saint sat in the ancestral hall.

Josh looked at the old saint quietly.

She looked to be in her 60s, with obvious wrinkles and freckles on her face, two "croissants" on her head, and her long hair was coiled into two upturned horns, one on the left and one on the right, looking like a crescent moon had been inserted through her head, revealing sharp horns on both sides.

The croissant was wrapped in tinkling silver chains, precious stones, and vines, and her head was draped in a light black veil, which, unlike the priestesses, allowed those around her to see her face clearly.

Everyone was assigned a work task.

Josh was assigned to visit the seriously ill elderly in the village.

This one is a bit strange.

Doesn't it say that priestesses can't touch men?

There are clearly men in her list.

After receiving the task, Josh walked to Yuexi's side: "Auntie, why is my mission to visit someone who is seriously ill?" Didn't you say you couldn't touch men? ”

Yuexi glanced at her impatiently: "The saint naturally has the truth of the saint, you just do it." ”

Not only her, but most of the other people's tasks are to come into contact with men.

Some people want to get the beards of many old people in the village, and some people want to help the men in the village cook.

Josh thought about it, but had no clue, so he had to shake his head.

She followed the large group to the area where the villagers lived in front.

This mountain village is arranged in a straight front and back, with the residences of ordinary residents in the front and the ancestral hall in the middle.

The ancestral hall is long, like a wall separating the residents in front from the houseboats in the back.

Behind the ancestral hall is the houseboat where the priests live.

There is a pebble forest between the ancestral hall and the houseboat, which is particularly eerie.

Josh could feel the eyes of the people around him rolling over them.

The eyes were numb and empty.

Josh inexplicably saw a bit of dislike and indifference in them, and looked at them as if they were looking at some outsider or dead thing.

The villagers don't seem to like the priestesses very much.

It stands to reason that the priestesses are all prepared to inherit the mantle of the saints, and the villagers don't say that they love it, at least they don't like it.

Unless there is something about these priestesses that they don't like.

Aunt Yuexi took them to the place where the residents lived in front of them, and said in a cold voice: "I repeat, don't have any physical contact with men, don't let them see your faces, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

The players scattered and began to work on the mission, and Aunt Yuexi and a few women patrolled the clearing to supervise it.

Josh walked up to the sick old man, who saw her approaching, but suddenly covered his face and hid away: "Don't come here!" You calamities, you're going to kill my old man! ”

She looked at the old man who was hiding away and frowned slightly.

See the system prompting the task progress (1/8)

In other words, she also has to visit 7 elderly people.

Is that a visit?

It doesn't seem to be that hard.

Josh walked over to another sick old man, who looked at her with a horrible smile on his face, "You're going to be finished." ”

She smiled slightly and responded politely: "Thank you, you too." ”

Old man: "......"

Barrage: [......]

After visiting a few in succession, there is still one that cannot be found.

Josh looked at the last room he hadn't entered.

This room is different from the other rooms next to it, with various white paper lanterns and white notes hanging outside, and it looks like a funeral.

She was about to get closer, but a girl next to her carefully grabbed her: "You don't want to die, enter this house!" This house is an ominous place, and anyone who comes near it will die a bad death! ”

Josie smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'm hard." ”

She avoided the girl's touch and got up to go inside.

The door slammed shut, trapping her inside.

There was a ticking sound of water and the smell of blood.

The humble room was even ventilated on all sides, and the wind passed through the hall with a gloomy whooshing sound.

A coughing voice came from inside: "Who...... cough cough cough ......"

Only then did Josh see that there was a broken bamboo door in the house, and there seemed to be an inner bedroom behind the bamboo door.

Josh walked over slowly, reached out and pushed the door, only to find that the door was locked inside.

The old lady's voice inside was a little displeased: "I asked who was outside!" ”

Josh didn't say who he was, but raised his voice, "The Holy Maiden asked me to come and see you." ”

There was no sound inside.

Josh peeked through the crack in the door.

Inside is a dilapidated bedroom, with a strong smell, which is unique to the old man who has lived for a long time.

But there didn't seem to be anyone in the room, and the bed was empty.

There was sunlight on the roof of the thatched house, speckled like a beam of light piercing the mist, and the dust in the house was so big that it really didn't look like a human habitation.

Suddenly there was a breathing sound approaching.

Josh caught off guard and met an old, cloudy eye and met her through the crack in the door.

[Damn! Scared dad to death! 】

[Ahhhh Escort! 】

[Damn, this old lady is so scary! 】

The old lady was indeed frightening, and her face full of wrinkles was hideous enough, but she also had a pair of cat eyes, the whites of her eyes, and the middle was wrapped with inconspicuous vertical pupils.

Josh glanced at it, the mission was not yet complete, and it seemed that he had to go in.

She knocked on the door, "I'm here to see you." ”

The old lady laughed "ruefully", pulling the already terrifying atmosphere to the extreme: "Then come in." ”

With a "squeak", the bamboo door was slowly opened.

Josh couldn't help but laugh out loud and entered the house.

The old lady frowned in displeasure: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Josh couldn't help but smile and looked at her: "It's nothing, I just think your laughter is quite interesting." ”

Old Lady: "......"

In addition to the dust in the room, there were also some paper figures piled up in the corners, and the clothes painted on these paper figures were all the clothes commonly worn by the Moon Clan, but they were all expressionless and did not have their eyes clicked.

Josh approached curiously, "You're good at your craft, you've done all this, right?" ”

"yes......"

Josh stretched out his finger and touched the paper figure, and found that the material of the paper figure was very soft and delicate, almost like it was made of human skin.

She was curious: "What material is this paper figure made of?" It's slippery, and there's a lot of musk. ”

"The secret, can't I tell you ......"

The old lady's voice behind him came closer: "Little girl, don't touch these things easily, make them unhappy, they want to eat people." ”

Josh smiled, "Quite a temper. ”

The barrage is already crazy: [Turn back! Turn back! 】

[I'm really going crazy, this old lady is not a tight person at first glance! ] What the hell is Josh doing? 】

[I don't dare to look at it, the old lady's tongue is going to hang down to the ground!] She's even drooling! 】
