After leaving the lively town and entering the mountains, Mari Goto talked a lot less. When she entered the village, she stopped talking at all.
When Lin Baici asked her a question, she would either say 'hmm' or nod or shake her head.
Lin Baici felt like he was chatting with an emotionless doll.
Mari Goto respected her mother very much, but the atmosphere in this family seemed strange, and Lin Baici could clearly feel that the other party did not welcome him.
If Lin Baici encountered such cold treatment in reality, he would definitely leave directly, but this is a place where rules are polluted, and the overall situation must be put first.
There is a lot of land in the village, and houses can be built at will, so every household lives in a two-story one-family building.
After Lin Baici met Goto Mari's mother, she led her up to the second floor on the wooden floor.
Mari Goto opened the door of a bedroom, took out a set of bedding from the closet, and spread it on the floor.
No need to ask, this is where Lin Baici temporarily lives.
Lin Baici scratched his hair and showed an expression that wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask.
Goto Mari made the bed, knelt on the ground, bowed to Lin Baici formally, and apologized: "Mr. Lin, if you like me, then please be patient for the sake of our future!"
"Um!"
Lin Baici didn't ask how long he could endure it. Anyway, he came here to deal with this rule pollution. Even if Goto Mari chased him away, he wouldn't leave.
"Two days at most!"
After Goto Mari finished speaking, she bowed again: "You are tired after a long day's journey. Please rest for a while. I will help mother cook!"
Goto Mari left and carefully closed the door.
Lin Baici walked to the window.
Because it was on the second floor, from a high position, he could see part of the street and the courtyard next to it.
The whole town was eerily quiet, like a mass grave after midnight.
Lin Baici gave up the plan of sneaking out to check the surrounding environment. If he was discovered, it would be very troublesome.
Let’s stand still for now and start with the truthists!
Lin Baici had nothing to do, so he lay on the bed in a daze. He didn't know how long it had passed, but when he turned to look at the door, he suddenly saw a crack in the door.
One eye was looking at him through the crack in the door.
"Fuck..."
Even though Lin Baici was brave enough, he was also startled.
The main reason is that he thinks that his six senses are so sharp that he can't hide all the disturbances around him, but now, a person is staring at him outside the door.
Lin Baici didn't realize when the other party came. If he were to attack him by surprise, he would definitely suffer a hidden loss.
Seeing that he had been discovered, the other party stopped hiding, so he pulled open the door.
It turns out to be Mari Goto’s sister!
That little girl of eight or nine years old.
The little girl came over, squatted next to Lin Baici, blinked her eyes, looked from head to toe, and then looked again: "Is someone like you a man?"
This little girl can actually speak Kyushu dialect.
Lin Baici's heart moved and he asked, "Have you never seen your father?"
"What is daddy?"
The little girl asked back.
'Holy shit!'
Lin Baici's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat.
Good guy, even dad doesn’t know that there is something weird about this village that is visible to the naked eye.
"You do look different from me!"
The little girl's eyes changed from appraising to excited. She reached out to pull Lin Baici's clothes, still muttering: "Can I see inside you?"
Lin Baici quickly stretched out his hand to hold down his clothes and was speechless for a while.
Was he actually being teased?
"Be good, I'll give you some candy!"
As the little girl spoke, she began to pull Lin Baici's clothes hard.
Of course Lin Baici would refuse.
So the little girl was irritated, her face suddenly darkened, and she raised her hand and slapped Lin Baici on the cheek.
Snap!
Lin Baici grabbed the little girl's hand and his face turned cold.
"I am your sister's guest!"
Lin Baici stared at the little girl.
"Maho, where did you die?"
The shouts of Mari Goto's mother came from downstairs.
The little girl glared at Lin Baici and shook her hand hard.
Lin Baici let go.
"snort!"
The little girl got up and walked out with her short legs. When she reached the door, she stopped again: "You made a mistake!"
"My sister's guests are also my mother's guests, and they are also the guests of the aunts in the village!"
The little girl left, and Lin Baici's frown deepened.
What does this sentence mean?
Share friends?
And why did she only talk about aunts?
Where are their husbands and sons?
This little girl looks eight or nine years old. She can't be without seeing a man since she was born, right?
By the way,
Doesn't she go to school?
As the sun set and was blocked by the mountains, when night fell, Mari Goto came up.
"Lin Jun, dinner is ready!"
Lin Baici followed him downstairs.
The living room and dining room of the Real House are together.
Lin Baici saw a long table with six dishes on it, exuding an alluring aroma.
The plate is not big, but the portion is not large, which can be said to be quite rich.
Lin Baici washed his hands and sat down.
Goto Mari's mother's name was Goto Rei. After placing a white porcelain wine cup in front of Lin Baici, she picked up a pot of sake and prepared to pour him wine.
"Auntie, I don't drink!"
Lin Baici quickly refused.
Goto Rei didn't listen and filled Lin Baici's bowl.
"It's very humid in the mountains. If you don't drink some wine, you'll feel very uncomfortable!"
The little girl explained with a smile.
"Thanks."
Lin Baici said politely, but he laughed in his heart. After drinking this wine, he might feel cold.
【Drink, it’s okay!】
With Nagami's comment, Lin Baici felt relieved and said thank you to Goto Rei again.
To be honest, this housewife's cooking skills are quite good, which is a pleasure for the taste buds, but the dining atmosphere is hard to describe in just one word.
Except for the little girl asking Lin Baici a few words from time to time, Goto and her daughter remained silent and ate their food in small bites.
Lin Baici finished her meal and wanted to chat with Mari Goto for a while, but she refused.
"Lin Jun, go to bed early. There is an event tomorrow that requires you to participate!"
"Um!"
Lin Baici nodded, and what he was thinking about was, what does the ritual in Goto's mouth mean?
"Good night!"
The little girl waved her hands.
Lin Baici stood in front of the window, frowning. It was already dinner time, but the village was still as quiet as a corpse.
"Hong Yao and the others should have followed, right?"
Lin Baici was not going to go to Xia Hongyao and the others. He wanted to see the situation first.
Turn off the lights and get under the covers!
Lin Baici's body had been strengthened and he could go without sleep for a week, but after getting into bed, his eyelids became so heavy that he could not lift them up.
Unknowingly, Lin Baici fell into sleep.
It felt like sinking into the sea of memory, and those past experiences began to surge up.
Three years of junior high school and another three years of high school were nothing to show for themselves, except studying.
He voluntarily became an exam machine, because only by getting into a good university can he find a good job and get a high salary.
If you have money, you won't have to work so hard for your mother.
All the changes started when I went to Longchan Temple last summer to fulfill my vows.
Life is getting better and smooth sailing!
It is said that the winners in life are all humble.
The counselor and tea girl don't know what they are doing. Zhu Qiunan is always chasing her, so just eat her.
Her long legs in jeans are really sexy. If you find an opportunity, let her take them off for you to see...
"No, what am I thinking about?"
Lin Baici slept very lightly. When he thought about this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
I don’t have this kind of personality!
Sleeping Ji Xinyan, Lin Baici had considered it, but Zhu Xueba, that was really not the case.
Whoosh!
Lin Baici opened his eyes.
Then he noticed something like a rope around his neck, strangling him, causing him to instinctively open his mouth wide, trying to breathe more air.
[Fortunately, your childhood was relatively happy, otherwise you would be dead by now!]
Nagami review.
In the past ten years or so, Lin Baici's family was not rich, but the family atmosphere was very good, and his mother was reluctant to beat and scold him, so he did not have a bad childhood experience at all.
"What the hell?"
Lin Baici stretched out his hand to pull the thing around his neck that was strangling him, but he found that he couldn't move his hands and feet, as if a ghost was pressing down on the bed.
With this rule pollution, when a person falls asleep, he will have nightmares because of his life experiences.
The more painful the experience, the tighter the 'nightmare vine' wrapped around his neck will be until it strangles him.
Lin Baici began to choke,
Even with his mouth wide open, he couldn't take in much air, so he subconsciously activated the Goddess Runtu.
This divine grace can turn him into a puddle of 'mud', and he can be immune to 90% damage from any physical attack.
But Lin Baici held back, this thing was the last trump card and could not be easily seen by others.
Think of other options!
The moonlight shines through the window and onto the floor. Half of Lin Baici's body is bathed in the moonlight.
He turned his head as hard as he could to see what was attacking him, but he couldn't see anything.
But he saw a pool of squirming shadows on the floor.
"shadow?"
Lin Baici suddenly had an idea and wanted to climb into the shadows of the bedroom and leave, but his body couldn't move, so he activated nobody!
Whoosh!
Lin Baici teleported and appeared at the base of the wall.
Fortunately, he couldn't even move a finger, but he didn't need to move to teleport and was not affected at all.
The moment Lin Baici lay down against the wall, completely out of the moonlight, his hands and feet regained their freedom.
"it works!"
Lin Baici immediately got up and reached out to touch his neck.
It feels cool on my neck.
"Ahem!"
Lin Baici coughed slightly, turned his head left and right, moved his neck, and then observed the moonlight on the floor and walls of the room.
Nothing unusual.
Lin Baici did not relax, but became even more worried.
Have Xia Hongyao and the others been attacked by this kind of pollution?
If so, do they know how to solve it?
Lin Baici was very worried.
If you fail to enter the shadow zone in time, you will be strangled to death within a few minutes.
Lin Baici immediately decided to purify this rule pollution.
Without any hesitation, he strode to the edge of the shadow and stretched his hand into the moonlight.
Whoosh!
Lin Baici was ready to stop quickly, but it was still too late.
The moment the moonlight shone on his hand, his neck was strangled by the 'Nightmare Vine' again, and the suffocation feeling came over him again.
Lin Baici couldn't move anymore, so he teleported quickly and returned to the shadows.
Therefore, he was awake this time, so when his neck was strangled, Lin Baici saw a pool of black shadow appear on the wall stained by moonlight.
The black shadow flashed and disappeared, as if someone had made a hand shadow gesture under the light.
An ordinary person would have been panicked to death and frightened, but Lin Baici was too calm and had excellent dynamic vision.
At that moment, Lin Baici saw that the dark shadow looked familiar.
Like the outline of a human face.
Even if you can't see the facial features, you can still feel that it is ugly.
Is it that Ksitigarbha?
In just a few seconds, Lin Baici remembered.
It was the over-foot-tall Ksitigarbha statue that I saw on the roadside when I entered the village.
I even paid tribute to it myself.
"If you smash it, will the pollution be purified?"
But the question is, how to get out?
Once it touches the moonlight, it will be strangled.
Lin Baici looked at the quilt, rushed over, grabbed it, and draped it over his body.
When Lin Bai lowered his waist and raised his hands, a small dark area was formed that the moonlight could not penetrate.
Lin Baici walked into the moonlight.
This time, the nightmare vine was not entangled.
It works!
Lin Baici quickly rushed to the window, opened it, jumped out, and then ran towards the entrance of the village.
Fortunately, the distance was not too far, and Lin Baici ran fast enough. In less than two minutes, he arrived in front of the Ksitigarbha statue.
Lin Baici picked up a stone and threw it at it.
The power of a hundred horses, minced meat strike!
Bang!
The head of the Ksitigarbha statue was blown into pieces. Lin Baici was still uneasy and stabbed him again.
Ninth World Dragon Fist!
Boom!
The ground near the statue shook violently, sinking three centimeters, and the weeds were crushed into pieces.
The statue was turned into small rubble.
Lin Baici immediately stepped out of the way.
…
In the village, in a deserted house.
Xia Hongyao and the others were hiding here, ready to support Lin Baici at any time, but suddenly, something invisible grabbed their necks.
"what do I do?"
Yi Jisheng asked urgently, it is a life form polluted by Shen Ji, this method will not harm it, but the problem is that it cannot find an enemy and it is impossible for it to fight.
I can only stare.
Long Miaomiao was sleeping soundly, with a struggling expression on her little face, as if she was having a nightmare.
Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu were already awake, but they could not move at all.
"Something is pinching you!"
Yijisheng saw that the flesh on Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu's necks was dented by the strangulation. If they continued like this, they would die.
Gu Qingqiu couldn't move or speak, but she could teleport, so she teleported around the room continuously, trying to take a look.
When she couldn't see the moonlight, she immediately discovered that the 'thing' around her neck had disappeared.
"Quick, move them two here!"
Gu Qingqiu urged.
Yi Jisheng quickly followed the instructions.
"Ahem!"
Long Miaomiao woke up, and when she coughed, some saliva came out: "What's going on? Is pollution coming?"
"Um!"
Gu Qingqiu looked at the moonlight with worry on his face.
"Brother Lin must have been attacked too, right?"
Long Miaomiao was worried.
"If I can't move, drag me into the shadows immediately."
Gu Qingqiu walked to the shadow and stretched out his hand under the moonlight, ready to try again, but this time, he did not feel suffocated.
