Mechanical Flesh

Nothing to say all night.

Qi Yuan waited all night without hearing the movement of the battle, until the night dissipated and the sun shone through the cracks in the door, he opened the door and went out.

Mo Sheng and the others also came out of their own room, and the four of them looked at each other. They had obviously heard that weird baby crying, and wanted to find the source of the crying sound during the day.

The four of them did not gather together immediately, but scattered into the village separately, secretly observing the situation in each villager's house.

Not long after the sun appeared, the villagers also came out of their homes. The four of them took advantage of this time to observe the situation in each house.

Soon, Qi Yuan found the source of the crying.

A middle-aged man walked out of the house with a baby in his arms, and walked straight to the village head's residence.

Qi Yuan took a peek at the baby in the man's hand, and found that he was exactly the same as an ordinary baby. The only difference was that he had a black mark between his eyebrows, which was exactly the same as that of other Longgu Village villagers.

The child does not cry or fuss, as if he is asleep.

Looking at the back of the man leaving, Qi Yuan suddenly remembered that this man was the second villager who sacrificed yesterday.

Is the appearance of this child also related to the sacrifice?

Qi Yuan's thoughts changed sharply, but instead of following, he approached the middle-aged man's residence, and observed the movement inside the house through the open door.

Except for the man, the house was empty, no one else existed, and the expected mother of the child did not exist, as if the baby was born by the middle-aged man himself.

After confirming that the middle-aged man lived alone, Qi Yuan followed quickly, wanting to see how he would deal with the child who appeared suddenly.

Mo Sheng and the others also noticed the existence of the child, and quietly approached him.

The man walked to the door of the village chief. After waiting for a while, the village chief pushed the door open and came out with a bamboo basket lined with clean clothes in his hand.

The man handed the baby to the village chief, then turned and left, apparently continuing to hunt deep into the jungle.

The village chief held the child and teased him for a while, then put him in a bamboo basket and carried him towards the altar for offering sacrifices.

Qi Yuan followed immediately, and did not ask until the village head placed the bamboo basket containing the baby on the altar against the statue.

"Village chief, what's the matter with this child?"

The village chief glanced at the four of them, sighed and said:

"He is the villager who didn't come back yesterday. For all the villagers, death is not the end, but an endless cycle. After you die, you will become babies like him, and start again here. "

The four looked at the sleeping child in the bamboo basket in disbelief, completely unable to connect him with the dead villagers.

What a cruel punishment for reincarnation that even death cannot escape.

Although the village chief's words are extremely absurd, Qi Yuan feels that the village chief is not lying. If he can't get out of the doomsday sacrifice, the cruel fate in front of him may be his tomorrow.

Qi Yuan took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Village Chief, is it dangerous for us to enter other villagers' houses?"

The village chief smiled.

"Go, the place in the village, except for the altar, you can wander around casually, there will be no danger, but don't mess up the inside." Gu Yuan

Before the village head turned to leave, Qi Yuan suddenly asked:

"Is it true that only sacrificers can approach the altar?"

The village head turned around and glanced at Qi Yuan, and said meaningfully:

"For the villagers here, the altar can be approached at will, but for you, you can only approach it when offering sacrifices. If you don't have a sacrifice in your hand and approach the altar rashly, you will become sacrifices .”

After the village chief finished speaking, he turned and left, his wobbly body didn't look like what a powerful apocalypse should have at all.

As for the child sleeping in the bamboo basket, he was still sleeping on the altar. The warm sunlight shone on his body, and even the delicate fluff was clearly visible.

Qi Yuan only took one look at the baby before falling into deep thought.

He was thinking about the village chief's last words.

Outsiders have no sacrifices, and they will be sacrificed as sacrifices if they approach the altar. This means that all outsiders can serve as sacrifices before becoming villagers!

But if outsiders could be sacrificed as sacrifices, why would the villagers who went out hunting prefer to go so far away and risk hunting dangerous insects and beasts instead of hunting themselves.

Although the strength of the four of them is not weak, they have no advantage in front of these villagers. If two villagers of the eighth rank come here, the four of them will become four moving sacrifices.

Are the villagers here not allowed to hunt outsiders as sacrifices?

Even if the villagers here cannot hunt outsiders as sacrifices, there is no restriction that outsiders cannot hunt each other and serve as sacrifices.

Of the four outsiders in Dragon Bone Village, only myself is the weakest. Compared to going deep into the dense forest to find panic beasts, it is obviously easier to hunt yourself.

Although Shi Fan didn't make any dangerous moves, Qi Yuan vaguely noticed that he had secretly observed himself and Mo Sheng many times. He obviously had such thoughts, but he didn't do anything because he was concerned about Mo Sheng's existence.

Mo Sheng was also aware of Qi Yuan's dangerous situation, so he approached quietly and stood beside Qi Yuan, warning the other two with his actions.

With me here, none of you can think of Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan also sneered in his heart, he happened to be short of a sacrifice to make a sacrifice, whoever dares to play his own mind, he will turn him into a sacrifice!

"The villagers have already left. Let's go to their houses to see if we can find some useful clues." Mo Sheng said.

Shi Fan glanced at Mo Sheng and said, "Alright, if we can find something useful, we would like to leave this damned place even more."

Xia Zhiqiao didn't nod or object, but acquiesced to the proposal.

After Shi Fan and Xia Zhiqiao went to search for clues, Mo Sheng whispered to Qi Yuan:

"Let's act together, that Shi Fan is very dangerous!"

Qi Yuan nodded, and together with Mo Sheng began to search for clues left by outsiders in the village.

At night, both of them had already inspected the houses they lived in, and didn't see anything useful, but since the village chief said so, there should be some secrets in Longgu Village that haven't been discovered yet.

The four divided into three groups, each searching for clues. There are not many houses in Longgu Village. Except for a single house for each villager, there are more than ten vacant houses, and the furnishings in the rooms are very simple, except for some Apart from simple daily necessities, there are almost no other items.

The four of them spent a whole morning searching every corner of Longgu Village, and sure enough they found some clues left by the predecessors.
