"Looking at the trusteeship situation in this village, it seems that it took a long time of struggle before death to take on this appearance. Maybe we can look for any clues in the trusteeship court."

Fu Zhiyan still covered his mouth and nose and spoke to Gu Yisheng carefully.

"Indeed, this is the only way we can discover anything now."

Gu Yisheng approved this idea with a solemn expression.

The trustee of this village was killed in front of the main gate, presumably because he took on the responsibility of protecting the whole village.

Looking at the scattered corpses at the door, some are still working as if they are not aware of what is happening around them; some of the corpses of young children even still look like they are playing and laughing, and they have not yet opened their eyes.

There are smiles on the faces of those whose muscles have been chewed off; some of them are lying on their backs, kneeling on the ground, or bending to hold their abdomen in an awkward posture, as if they are begging for mercy but cannot be killed by a knife.

Presumably this was a surprise attack, which means that the bandits came with the purpose of massacre from the beginning, that is, to make sure that no one here would survive, so they went on a killing spree without any consultation.

Although they killed people, all the gold, silver, and iron tools on the ground are still there. Gold, silver, and iron tools are the most valuable things, and ordinary robbers will definitely take these as a source of comfort for their own lives.

visible……

Not for money, but pure massacre.

Such cruelty can kill people.

The purpose of framing is obvious.

The bodies of the people in front were covered with knife marks, and they were obviously killed.

Most of the people in the back died of the plague.

The boundaries are clear - that is to say, it is basically certain that the people here were aware that the people at the back of the house were suffering from the same disease before they were massacred, so they concentrated the patients at the back of the house to prevent them from affecting other people.

The other normal people in the front room - at least - did not have any symptoms of this plague.

Gu Yisheng and Fu Zhiyan carefully avoided all kinds of strange creatures on the ground.

"what is this?"

Gu Yisheng pointed at an insect on the ground that suddenly swelled from a small black dot to a fat bulging state, and felt really sick for a moment.

Fu Zhiyan only glanced at it, recognized it, and replied: "Corpse-eating worm."

He motioned her to stay away from that thing.

"This thing often eats corpses and is often seen in various epidemic areas. Although it only eats corpses, you have to be careful."

There is a flag on a house in the distance, which is probably where the village trusteeship court is located.

The two walked slowly.

The black crows cry blood and the sky becomes dark.

Suddenly.

A pair of hands wrapped around Gu Yisheng's ankles.

Those hands are very small.

It was only enough to wrap around Gu Yisheng's slender ankles.

Those hands looked like dry branches.

Those hands were full of blood and mud.

Even a brave person like Gu Yisheng was really taken aback.

She lowered her head and saw that it was a little girl.

She was only a little bit old, and she was huddled on the ground covered in blood and corpses.

She just raised her head and stared at Gu Yisheng with a pair of red bloodshot eyes.

She opened her mouth weakly and said a few words with breathless breath: "Help...save me."

In such a deserted village, there are still people alive!

Gu Yisheng quickly lowered her head and wanted to pick up the girl, but Fu Zhiyan beat her to it.

"How can you, an unmarried little lady, be able to hold her?"

Fu Zhiyan picked up the girl and said, "I'll wait here while you go explore that room."

Gu Yisheng smiled when she heard this, feeling that this man really liked to show off his strength.

He seemed uneasy and kept saying: "Be careful of the things there, don't hurt yourself, and run away if you encounter danger."

Gu Yisheng agreed one by one.

The house was in a mess, but faint traces of the former owner's office could still be seen.

A spot in the middle was stained with blood, giving it a square appearance, as if something previously placed there had been taken away.

In addition, the bookshelves should have been full, but they were all swept to the floor.

Could it be...

Could it be that they were looking for something else besides the plague casualty statistics book?

Gu Yisheng was full of doubts.

Not far away, something seemed to be moved, making a "xixixishuishui" sound.

Sparkling……

It's an agency!

Before Gu Yisheng could accurately determine the location of the mechanism, a sharp arrow was shot straight towards her.

Upon seeing this, she quickly dodged and raised a book on the ground as cover.

Before the arrow stops, another arrow comes!

Gu Yisheng had almost nowhere to escape, no way to retreat, and was almost stopped on the beam, unable to move at all.

"Ding!"

The sharp arrows that Gu Yisheng dodged were nailed into the wall one after another until holes were shot out of the wall.

The color of the wall changed from the original yellow earth color to black and red.

Sure enough! This arrow is quenched with poison!

so close……!

If Gu Yisheng hadn't escaped just now...

The consequences could be disastrous.

Just when she didn't know where to go, dozens of short arrows were shot at her. She dodged to avoid them, and several arrows passed by her at an extremely small distance.

Walk on arrows.

Finally there was a short pause.

Soon there were dozens more arrows...

"Who set up this mechanism? Is it finished?"

Gu Yisheng complained secretly in her heart.

While hiding, she saw a thin, shining rope, which must have been triggered by accidentally touching it when she was walking.

This thin and shiny rope can only be seen in a slightly brighter place, which shows the designer's ingenuity.

It's so hidden that it's hard for people to survive.

Gu Yisheng carefully shuttled through the rain of sharp arrows, walked to the rope with difficulty, followed the angle just now, and slashed with the sword...

The machine has stopped!

Gu Yisheng was secretly happy.

"Crack, creak, creak..."

However, before she could take a few breaths, her feet were empty and the ground opened...

Gu Yisheng was caught off guard and fell. Even if she was lucky enough to catch the ground around her, she couldn't hold on all the time. The retracted mechanism squeezed her down hard.

She had to let go quickly.

She didn't want to lose her finger.

It's very dark down there.

It’s not just the kind of darkness where you can’t see your fingers, but the kind of darkness where you don’t even know if you have stretched out your hand.

She didn't know what kind of place this was.

I just feel like the world is spinning.

In the boundless darkness, everything has no shape.

The world seems to be upside down, and there seem to be countless tentacles entangled and scratching you around.

Endless coldness, endless dizziness.

She only felt herself falling down slightly, and she didn't know whether it was because of fear or something else.

She only felt that her whole body was soft, but her feet felt like they had stepped on something.
