Chapter 38 Day 2
They trapped the man tightly and left him on the roadside without caring about him anymore.
Knowing that they had bad intentions, Wei Jie couldn't help but say, "If they are tied up like this, will they be unable to attend the afternoon ceremony?"
Shao Nan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Untie them and let them chase you and chop off your hands and feet?"
Mo Weiqian's voice was gentle and clear, with a faint smile on the corners of his lips.
Looking at this familiar scene, Shao Nan and Meng Yunqi tacitly moved away from Mo Weiqian.
The young man ignored the two people who were playing tricks, raised his straight and slender legs, and kicked Gong Le hard, knocking him unconscious. Looking at the red and swollen shoe print on Gong Le's forehead, Mo Weiqian nodded with satisfaction and said:
"If a dungeon requires them to participate, they have to go even if they have to lie down!"
Then he shook his feet, as if they were stained with something dirty, and called Shao Nan beside him to ask about the specific location of Yongshou Lake.
After about 20 minutes, everyone arrived at Yongshou Lake on the west side.
The lake meanders around the west side of the village. Mo Weiqian remembered that Shao Nan told the children yesterday not to drink the lake water.
However, normal people would not want to drink the lake water. The lake surface is surrounded by unknown small insects. The colors are not as single as fireflies, but bright and colorful.
The surface of the lake shows a faint blue light, which looks quite dreamy from a distance.
On the left side of the lake sits a dying towering tree, the old banyan tree mentioned earlier.
The dry tree trunks were covered with a layer of dust, and the gnarled roots were entwined in the cracked ground.
A gust of wind blew, causing the branches to tremble like tentacles.
The ancient life seemed to have come to an end, mourning its own fate.
Mo Weiqian reached out and touched the tree trunk.
"Ding..."
A clear sound of bells reached his ears, and before his eyes seemed to appear a field of endless grasslands, herds of cattle and sheep, and a snow-white boy in the distance.
A pair of dazzling golden pupils seemed to contain a lake of water, and transparent tears fell to the ground.
"Come to me...Come to me...Quick..."

"Brother, brother! Wake up!"
"elder brother!!!"
Mo Weiqian slowly opened his eyes. Was he asleep?
Was that just... a dream?
Meng Yunqi helped him up and said anxiously, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with this tree? You fainted as soon as you touched it."
Shao Nan was surprised and said, "But Wei Jie and I both touched it and we were fine. Could it be that this tree is selective about people?"
Mo Weiqian didn't answer, recalling the young man with tears in his eyes.
Tsk, just saying that someone is looking for you should at least give some clues.
Just as I was thinking about it, Wei Jie's voice came from the front: "Found a note."
Wei Jie dug in the tree hole for a long time before he finally got it out.
Mo Weiqian raised his eyebrows and glanced at the dead tree. Haha, I’m sleepy and someone is here to give me a pillow.
There is nothing good about intuition.
The handwriting on the note was crooked, as if it was written in blood and had not solidified evenly.
Barely recognizable:
'A tower in the mirror'
After Mo Weiqian read out these words, he asked the people around him, "Besides the hanging mirror in Room 4, have you seen any other mirrors?"
"Or a special mirror?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Meng Yunqi looked at the hint of the tower on the note thoughtfully.
Staring at Mo Weiqian worriedly, he secretly decided to keep a closer eye on his brother...
Mo Weiqian: "I'll go back to Room 4 to check if there's anything strange about the hanging mirror. You guys go look for other places with mirrors."
"We'll meet in room 4 before dark."
Everyone dispersed in response. Meng Yunqi gave Mo Weiqian the same old advice as before, then set out on his journey to find the mirror, looking back every few steps.
A moment later, Mo Weiqian arrived at Room 4, took down the mirrors in the two rooms, and carefully checked the wall to find no special mechanisms.
Mirrors are just for looking at yourself. You can't enter another world through the mirror like in TV dramas.
Mo Weiqian went to the slaughterhouse again. There were several warehouses there that had not been checked yet, to see if there was anything missed.

Untimed
The second day's sacrificial ceremony began on time.
The village chief was still muttering his blessings in a mysterious manner.
After the ceremony, the villagers lined up to present gifts.
When it is the player's turn.
The players in the three rooms had different expressions on their faces. Liang Yuxin and Lin Yi were still flirting with each other without caring about the lives of the people around them. It was obvious that they were confident of getting the sacrifice.
The four trouble-making players headed by Gong Le from Room 4 did not show up on time for the sacrifice. They were found by the villagers on the roadside of Room and were packed up for the sacrifice.
Until now, no one has untied the four of them.
Lin Yi leaned on Liang Yuxin's shoulder and laughed so hard that her body shook:
"Axin, look at these four losers. They look like packed dumplings. Oh, you're making me hungry." Lin Yi said coquettishly.
Liang Yuxin glanced at Gong Le, whose face had turned purple, then looked away with disdain and tried to comfort Lin Yi.
Gong Le on this side naturally heard Lin Yi's ridicule, but he dared not say anything.
He had heard a lot about Lin Yi, a woman known as the Black Widow on the street. Her elegant and beautiful figure and gorgeous appearance attracted many men.
She is good at controlling various poisons, but her true talents and skills have never been exposed. However, every man who stays with her does not stay long. They all die in the dungeon to protect her or for other reasons.
In short, Lin Yi was fine. Gradually, people around her felt that she was a little evil, and slowly she got the nickname "Black Widow".
However, this man beside her, who was not considered handsome, actually caught her eye and accompanied her through several copies intact.
The "Gambling House" in the central city has set up a gambling game just for this "Black Widow" to see whether she can leave a man by her side when she dies, and many people have placed bets.
Most people are naturally not optimistic, but there are a few crazy fans who think that "Black Widow" deserves true love.
Speaking of this person, he is a really strange creature. He is clearly trying to escape from a desperate situation, but he still creates a lot of fun for them.
Yes, instead of being in fear every minute and every second, it is better to consider changing into a cool posture when death comes.
Naturally, only Room 1 in the player group completed the tribute.
The village chief said sternly: "Since the distinguished guest cannot offer sacrifices on behalf of your villagers within the stipulated time."
"Of course I have to accept the punishment for them."
When it comes to this, the faces of the players in rooms 2 and 3 become extremely ugly.
A male player in Room 2 had a face as pale as paper, and at first glance it looked like he had no left forearm.
Si Hang looked at the couple with hatred. He was attacked by them last night and he did not want the two girls to lose their arms.
He took the initiative to cut off his forearm and gave it to them.
Although their group was made up of all newcomers, after being assigned to Room 2, they helped each other and developed some revolutionary friendships. They even agreed to meet again in real life after leaving the game.
After the forearm was chopped off, several players scraped together the starting points and bought potions to barely stop the bleeding.
The village chief stared at the player in Room 2 with his cloudy gray eyes, and said in a flat tone without any change: "Let's draw lots."
He took out a blood-red lot holder with his left hand and continued, "If you draw a broken lot, you will be punished."
The corner of his mouth pulled out an inhuman smile, "Then let's get started..."
