She didn't seem to notice the strange fishtail and the severe pain, and with the support of the energy that barely made her comfortable, her lips turned pale, and she spoke without blood: "Do you remember, the deal we made before?" ”

Without waiting for Yuan Yuxue to speak, she smiled quickly again: "...... If you don't remember, it's okay. I still remember. You take me and my people out of there, so that they can escape the fate of being eaten, and I tell you everything you want, including the information that will get you out of here. ”

"I have one condition attached." She said, "Let my people be free forever, and protect them." ”

After she finished speaking in a low voice, she didn't wait for Yuan Yuxue to agree, and approved the deal on her own before continuing: "Then now, it's time for me to fulfill my promise." ”

"Yuan Xuxue, in this world, there is no god at all."

Chapter 307: Gold and Silver Village 86

Her body was still very weak, and her voice was naturally not very loud.

Even leaning on Yuan Xuxue's ear, the timbre was indescribably low and tired, as if he had to take two more breaths to say a word, like a mist that could dissipate at any time, and fell very gently in Yuan Xuxue's earlobe.

Her gaze also crashed into the overly calm black eyes, and Yuan Yuxue's composure for a moment began to make her wonder if she had really made a sound just now.

Fortunately, others gave her feedback in time.

- Even though her voice was so soft that it seemed like she was about to die, for some reason, the villagers, including the other players, heard it very clearly, and at this time there was a look of surprise on their faces.

Of course, the main ones who were shocked were the players, and the villagers at this time could only be described as thunderous and furious, if it was the coveting of the mermaid leader at the beginning, and making them want to use her as a sacrificial tool, it would only be a blatant killing intent, and the sight passed over her still wet and blood-stained back, and scolded unacceptably: "You, you filthy brute!" How dare you blaspheme! ”

The fat man had already come out of the village, his vulture-like eyes were fixed on the mermaid leader, and the horizontal flesh on his face seemed to move vividly, making him look as if his cheeks were twitching slightly, and he was even more strangely vicious and hideous.

The mermaid leader easily pulled away the hatred that Yuan Yuxue had provoked, and the villagers would just look at her, their faces full of disgust and murderous intent. This sudden burst of emotion made the "vines" they controlled extremely aggressive, so that Xiao Qi could barely be evenly matched, but this would be a little overwhelmed by the attacks of the villagers—not to mention, she was also slightly distracted by the mermaid leader's astonishing behavior, and looked at her with a frown, as if she didn't understand whether this strange stupid girl knew what she was talking about.

What could she understand? She is just an NPC trapped in a dungeon and a fate line made up in advance, and she also seems to be an extremely pathetic existence in the always cruel dungeon.

Xiao Qi pursed his lips.

Only by constantly emphasizing the identity of the other party's NPC can she barely continue to ...... in this air full of oppression and blood Stand down.

Although the attacks of those vines had not yet reached the point where Yuan Yuxue had their foothold immediately, judging from the form in which they were about to move, Yuan Yuxue still picked up the mermaid leader again, and changed his landing point with great agility - behind him was a protruding stone wall, which was difficult for others to break free from and would die inadvertently, but Yuan Yuxue's skills were good enough, and for him, it was an excellent cover to reduce attacks from other angles.

His body straightened slightly, as if it contained some unimaginable energy, and his gaze was very cold to all the coveted monsters. Compared to when those vines moved, Yuan Yuxue would also escape from them with the mermaid leader quite quickly.

And from the reactions of the others, the mermaid leader also got some kind of feedback, and slapped his tail again with confidence - it seems that Yuan Yuxue can hear it, he is just acting relatively normal.

With this subtle satisfaction that made sure everyone could hear, the leader of the merfolk smiled a very pale and weak smile, and continued to speak almost with a little vengeful pleasure: "...... I don't know what you guys think. ”

"But, outsiders, you should probably call you players—"

When they heard the name "player", they were quite calm in suits, after all, in the dungeon, there are indeed many NPCs who know the identity of the player, and even provide certain services for this...... Most of the time, though, the NPCs are just as sinister and cunning as the demons, and the players are on the same page as they are trying to kill them.

But what the mermaid leader said next made them feel that something was wrong.

She still had such a calm and somewhat indifferent expression, and her face was slightly sideways in Yuan Xuxue's arms, and her wet curly hair covered half of her face, inexplicably, she showed a very ...... Spirited feeling.

She said, "Have you ever thought that we could be the same?"

Suddenly, a chill jumped.

…… It's weird.

What kind of words is this?

At least from what they have learned, this human race has been raised as "food" and "sacrifice" for generations, and their end is to reproduce and be eaten, and players have no idea what they will become...... It's too humiliating and too cruel, and it's really better than the pain of dying completely.

But this frail woman, who inherited all the memories of the sacrificial "mother", said very blandly and strange things that were completely different from what they knew.

Yuan Yuxue is quite calm...... It also has something to do with his past experiences.

All sacrifices will be taken for granted.

Because he didn't classify himself into the human group, he really couldn't sense the horror of other people's hairs.

This also means that no one will come out to stop this woman full of inhuman characteristics to continue to talk -

"A long, long time ago, a group of players entered a new dungeon, in a remote village. They don't understand why being in a peaceful, no-goblin-free rural village, with little to no fear of danger from the outside world, is rated as a difficult dungeon. ”

No goblin threat?

No, this is not a description of the Golden and Silver Village, you must know that they are afraid of being drowned by those ghosts here.

Players think.

Then they find themselves in a match, where players divide into two groups and throw themselves at the chief of the two villages, helping one of them to win and merge the two villages into one...... Of course, there is only one person who can take on the job of the new village chief, and that side is the final winner. ”

She pursed her lips slightly, as if trying to smile, but failed.

"Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?"

No one answered, but she didn't seem to need an answer from anyone else, so she just went on very flatly, "...... It's not ridiculous. ”

"It was a war."

"The players don't have to play in person at first, they are the chess players standing next to the chessboard, and the villagers are their chess pieces, consumables to be played. They manipulated the villagers to kill each other, stealing, robbing, setting fires, killing people...... All of them have become murderers, all of them are criminals, and almost no one can remember that they are just fighting for the position of village chief with little real power. But in reality, they're just being manipulated into completing the player's mission. ”

It's not a pleasant story.

Yuan Xuxue lowered her eyes slightly, and her eyes were pitch black, like an abyss where a sinking stone fell into an abyss where no sound could be heard.

And the players feel even more uncomfortable with everything.

Their attitude towards NPCs has always been very subtle.

There is no need to offend, they just thought about copies, and they are not violent provocateurs.

But when necessary, when there is a conflict with their own interests, of course, they will choose to sacrifice NPCs without hesitation, and there will still be some moral constraints from socialization for players, and for NPCs, there will never be such a burden.

The mission mentioned by the mermaid leader is likely to be like this if they were to do so. Even if the approach is not so obvious, it will still sacrifice the pawn as an NPC without the slightest hesitation.

When a person's abilities are strong enough, but they are not constrained by the same authority, and they do not have to pay any price for what they do, even the most rational person will be corrupted into a beast in this environment.

"With the 'help' of the players, the battle between the villagers on both sides quickly divided the winner and loser." The mermaid leader in Yuan Yuxue's arms was still calmly speaking, "The losers are eliminated, and the successes are -"

"They didn't make it out either."

"The two villages have become one, and the villagers who have ascended to the position of village chief have the magical powers and privileges granted by the dungeon. Whoever enters the village is subject to his jurisdiction—"

"Of course, the same goes for players with all kinds of superhuman abilities."

"The players weren't very happy, but they didn't show it. After all, the restriction is temporary, and as long as they leave the village, they will regain their freedom. What's more, their relationship with the village chief should be very 'good', they helped the village chief gain control of the village, and they didn't ask for anything in return, just a small condition, let them leave the village - this is not in the way, right? Even the village chief no longer has to worry about the day and where a group of people will come out to threaten his status, consciously and caringly. ”

She spoke in a soft, admonishing tone, but the tone was inexplicably uncomfortable. From between her teeth, some scarlet fluid was oozing.

The villagers' movements, for some reason, also stopped. They stared at her with a very strange gaze, as if they were very strange—

And Xiao Qi also had obvious distraction, her hand had almost completely been put down, and she fell down, her fingers curled up slightly.

The uncomfortable voice continued to sound, and the mermaid leader said lightly, "...... Of course, they were denied. ”

"This is what the players teach the villagers. Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, you can't leave yourself with trouble, right? ”

What's more, the village chief regretted seeing the number of people plummeting and the lifeless village that had lost countless young laborers. He finally felt that he was a ghost, and these 'ghosts' were players. They are evil spirits, the source of cholera, the source of all misfortunes, so they cannot be let go just like that. ”

When the white teeth opened slightly, a little dark blood gushed out of it uncontrollably.

She said expressionlessly, "And unfortunately, all these speculations are correct. ”

The players messed everything up.

To the villagers, they are evil spirits, cholera, and calamity.

The village chief, who was the initiator of the war, began to panic, but instead of the bright red blood of a human being, a puddle of foul-smelling pus flowed from his rotting heart.

Chapter 308: Gold and Silver Village 87

He has been made into the most handy killing tool by players.

If it is a tool, how can it be "human"?

He did not feel guilty for starting the war, he did not sympathize with the young life that had disappeared in this dispute and then suffered from his conscience, and all his regret stemmed only from ...... Afraid.

The fear of being found out about the sins he had committed would make him suffer enough one day, and the same fear that the outsiders who had arrogantly directed him would one day suddenly appear again, take sides, and take away everything he now possessed with his seemingly omnipotent and strange abilities.

He saw with his own eyes how pitifully cruel the fate of the loser was.

So he did one more thing.

This is still the experience he has learned from the players, so he has formed in his mind the most subtle, and the most insidious and vicious moves.

He killed the players.

Players are aliens from the rest of the world, with an inherently arrogant sense of alienation from them—looking at them like they're looking at tiny ants that can be crushed at any moment.

They are the ones who are really behind the villagers. It is true that they have all kinds of otherworldly abilities, any skill and prop, can make these "hillbillies" who have never seen the world stunned and bow down, but on the contrary, these people are bound by the consciousness of the copy, but they can't resist a "village chief" who has been given the greatest authority in the gold and silver village.

The village chief, who was also young and vigorous, slit the throats of the players bit by bit with a machete, which was almost rough in the doorway and had numerous openings.

It's a slow process, so there's a lot of opportunity to struggle. It's a pity that under the constraints of the rules, they don't even need to be tied up to get on their knees.

The once high-ranking players have finally let go of their haughty stature, and in the face of the threat of death, they have repeatedly prayed for their former "partners", in exchange for all kinds of strange abilities and unimaginable favorable conditions, hoping that the village chief will say something to let them go. But in the end, the fear of retribution apparently outweighed the greed for all kinds of treasures, and the village chief was determined to kill everyone - leaving only one player.

Those players are also high-level bosses, and probably thought that they might die in high-risk dungeons, in the pursuit of fierce ghosts, but probably didn't expect that they would die at the hands of a mediocre village chief that they didn't even look down on before.

Until they died, they refused to close their eyes, and a heavy resentment covered their cheeks, making their bodies stiff.

And the last player who survived, the only remaining player, of course, was not because the village chief suddenly had a conscience attack and wanted to let her go.

It's because this player has a very special use value.

The village chief has the impression that she is protected by other players, and because she has the mermaid blood obtained in other dungeons, she also has extremely rare healing abilities.

She will not die easily, to some extent, even infinitely reborn - but after seeing her teammates being brutally killed, she erupted into an extremely fierce desire for confrontation and resistance, and did not want to be trapped in this village, driven by demons in human skin for the rest of her life, so she was willing to die, and let the village chief use the steel knife full of gaps to cut her neck little by little.

But the village chief was reluctant.

After addressing these hidden dangers that could sway him, the village chief also realized that he needed to strengthen his leadership.

He can't be a murderer who starts a "war" and does everything, he must be respected, he must be admired-

So in the village, which was already very chaotic at the time, he planted some "gadgets" from the players at the water source.

These "gadgets" sent away a lot of wounded people who survived the "war" but were wounded. It turns a pregnant woman into a deformed child, a healthy adult into a crippled man, a child into a monster with twisted limbs, an extra pair of eyes, or an extra head.

Everyone was terrified.
