Chapter 340 Are you hungry?
"We are going in the wrong direction. What Li Baotian said may not be right. After so many copies, Li Fu's desires will eventually change, so his direction is also wrong. The opportunity for the village chief to appear is indeed to recreate the scene of the past, but it is not for us to keep giving those villagers native ghost food."
"It's to arouse the greed of other players. Only then will the village chief appear and lead these players to recreate the past scene between us!"
Lin Chen saw everything clearly.
With his unique ability to see resentment, combined with the clues he got from Li Baotian, he immediately figured out a lot of things.
"And the village chief is not just an individual. There may be hundreds of ghosts gathered around him!"
Lin Chen's voice was calm at first, but it trembled slightly at the end.
This behavior and the meaning of his words shocked Duan Jibo and the others.
"Hundreds of ghosts?"
"How come? Is it the second type of native ghost?"
Duan Jibo and the other man were shocked.
Lin Chen shook his head and said with a gleam in his eyes: "It's not the second type of native ghosts. I have caught all of those ghosts a few nights ago. As for the village ghosts, they are all visible. The hundreds I mentioned are just the ghosts hiding in the dark with the village chief. We never thought of them from the beginning to the end!"
Lin Chen's trembling became more and more obvious, as if he was suppressing some emotion, and his expression gradually became dull, as if he was calculating something.
Duan Jibo and the other man were stunned when they heard Lin Chen say that he had captured all the second type native ghosts in the village at night.
But before they could think about it, they saw that Lin Chen's mood changes were so obvious, which made them feel a palpitation in their hearts.
If even Chen, who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, is so frightened, then the danger behind it is really unimaginable.
"Boy Chen, even you..." Duan Jibo swallowed and said dryly.
Before Duan Jibo finished his words, Duan Qi looked at Lin Chen with concern.
At this moment, Lin Chen's body began to tremble more and more violently, and in the end he even looked up to the sky and laughed, looking extremely creepy.
Duan Jibo and the other two were stunned on the spot, but before they could react, Lin Chen grabbed Duan Jibo's arm and said excitedly: "Tell me quickly, how many times has the deserted village held meetings so far?"
Duan Jibo obviously knew a lot about the deserted village, and subconsciously said: "The deserted village has been around for five years. There are many four-star dungeons, and they can be rejected. They are opened twice a year on average. Because they are dungeons with a 100% mortality rate, they attract more attention."
"I am narrow-minded. This has happened at least ten times!"
Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and in the astonished eyes of Duan Jiebo and Duan Qi, he laughed again, as if he had picked up some treasure.
"Ten times is enough! Ten times is not a small number, this time I'm really rich!"
Lin Chen's face was full of smiles, his body still trembling, but that was obviously not out of fear, but rather an expression of excitement and excitement.
Duan Jibo was stunned. He finally took a deep breath and asked quickly, "Chen boy, are you crazy? What are you talking about?"
Duan Qi was also stunned and didn't understand what Lin Chen was thinking.
There may be an army of fierce ghosts behind the village chief. Isn't this something to be wary of and think about how to resist?
Why are you so silly and happy?
At this time, Lin Chen had already started calculating from the side.
"There are thirty ghosts each time, thirty humans, and sixty players in total. With a 100% mortality rate each time, that means six hundred ghost players will remain in this instance permanently."
"What on earth are you talking about?" Duan Jiebo swallowed hard, his face becoming more and more surprised. At this moment, for some reason, his heart began to beat wildly involuntarily.
Duan Qi's face had begun to turn pale. She was more intelligent than Duan Jiebo. After hearing Lin Chen's words, she had already guessed something.
But this truth made her so frightened that she was unwilling to believe it.
Lin Chen did not answer, but continued to calculate: "Six hundred players, excluding those who died at the hands of villagers and in other conflicts, there are still half left. In other words, this half of the players have become special ghosts, and they are all following the village chief!"
"What!?"
Duan Jibo was shocked and his eyes widened.
Duan Qi's body also trembled slightly.
"Boy Chen, do you know what you are saying? Are you sure about what you said?" Duan Jiebo quickly grabbed Lin Chen and asked urgently.
"What I mean is that all the players who entered the village were transformed into evil spirits by the rules. Now they are following the village chief Li Fu, sleeping with them or hiding in some deep darkness!" Lin Chen said.
"This... how is it possible..." Duan Jiebo took a breath of cold air. Even at his level, he still found it a little unbelievable at this moment.
"Nothing is impossible. The No. 9 Mental Hospital instance is a blue Xiaoyao Pill formed by rules, which makes all the human and ghost players go crazy. This instance has a method that can turn people into ghosts. Isn't it normal?"
"According to my guess, if the players of this instance develop greed, it is a sign of transformation into a ghost, and they will be led by Li Fu, the initiator, at that time. This may be Li Fu's ability. Am I right, Baotian?"
Lin Chen said this to a deserted place.
But he was very sure that this was the first thing he guessed after seeing the resentment in Xu Linhao and others.
After hearing these words, Duan Jibo and Duan Qi were both stunned, and then they quickly looked away.
I saw a ray of light flowing in that deserted place, and soon, Li Baotian's figure appeared there.
After Li Baotian appeared, he looked at Lin Chen with a complicated expression, as if he had not yet recovered from the discovery of Lin Chen's endless "food".
After a long while, he coughed and said, "You guessed right. There are indeed many ghosts around Li Fu. Some of them are ghost players from the horror world, and many are human players from your world."
"Sure enough." Lin Chen smiled confidently.
Duan Jibo took a breath of cold air.
They were shocked by the appearance of Li Baotian, and lamented that things had completely deviated from the track they had imagined. Perhaps the murderous intent in the deserted village had really begun from this moment!
"There used to be a legend about a tiger demon in our village. It would trap the souls of beautiful women by its side and trick passing scholars into devouring their flesh and blood. This is called being an accomplice to the tiger."
At this point, Li Baotian laughed and said, "Our worlds have something in common. Although my memory of the outside of the village has disappeared, it is possible that the deserted village existed in a certain era of your Blue Star."
"There may be similarities, but they will never be the same." Duan Jibo concluded that many copies look similar to Blue Star, but very few are from Blue Star.
This is also an important research within the Dark Guards.
Li Baotian nodded without comment and continued:
"As one of the four bosses in the dungeon, Li Fu has the ability to transform humans and ghosts into his own ghost minions. When an outsider player becomes greedy for the food of other outsiders, they may become ghosts. This is also the power of rules that Li Fu controls."
"Normally, if the food that players carry can last until the tenth day in the dungeon, then they will basically have nothing to do with the village chief, unless they are entangled by villagers like you. But if they fail to make it to the tenth day and become hungry to a certain extent, they will be taken away by the village chief and become ghosts."
"Of the six hundred human ghosts, half of them are truly dead for various reasons, but the other half were definitely taken away by the village chief Li Fu and followed him, hiding in places I can't find."
"At the beginning, the opportunity for the village chief to appear was indeed that the players kept giving food to the villagers, but now it seems that the situation has changed."
"I think the village chief should show up tonight."
After Li Baotian's voice fell.
Lin Chen, Duan Jibo and Duan Qi all clenched their fists at the same time!
There are still three hundred ghosts!
The former is exciting, and the latter two are solemn.
"Similar situations have happened before, but I thought it was just one of the ways the village chief would show up."
"In the past, when the village chief appeared in this situation, the players he targeted were all dead because they did not have enough food stored."
"If the target dies, then the village chief will continue to disappear, and I won't be able to do anything to him."
"Tomorrow is the ninth day. As long as the village chief shows up, he will come looking for you. They are not as easy to deal with as ordinary villagers. If you can't hold out for food, then the village chief and his men will definitely attack you. If you can hold out, the village chief will not be able to hide any longer and will have to come to my house on the tenth day."
"The timing is good for us. I hope you can hold on. By the tenth day, the village chief will fall within my rules, and I will take action against him." Li Baotian said.
He did not say anything about deal or conditions, because in his eyes, Lin Chen himself had to drag on the time, because he believed that this was the only way for Lin Chen and the other two to survive!
After Li Baotian finished speaking, his figure faded away.
Only Lin Chen and three others were left.
"Boy Chen, what should we do?" Duan Jiebo and Duan Qi looked at Lin Chen with frowns.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Lin Chen said subconsciously, but soon noticed the surprised expressions of Duan Jibo and the others, and couldn't help but coughed and said: "Don't worry, I have a way, and if you want to think about this copy, the village chief is an indispensable stage."
Then Lin Chen told the two about what happened when he met Li Baotian that night.
"We already know most of it now. All we have to do now is get through tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, everything will be clear."
Hearing that Lin Chen secretly ran out at night and did so many things, Duan Jibo was speechless. Only Duan Qi was not surprised at all.
"By the way, those ghost players won't..." Duan Jibo thought of something and asked quickly.
"Of course it was me. You want to run away after I offended you?" After Lin Chen finished speaking, he returned to the house.
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi were left looking at each other.
"Is this kid really that angry?"
"Those people lost one hand but are still alive. It was only because of their human identity that they were saved..."
…
Lin Chen was not afraid of the village chief's situation. Instead, he became more and more looking forward to it.
If three hundred ghost kings were captured in one fell swoop, the harvest would be doubled.
"Since the villagers are no longer part of the overall situation, let's capture some villagers tonight and build up our ghost power to its peak..."
Lin Chen thought so.
…
Time passed little by little, and soon it was evening again.
This wave of hunger came even more intensely, but to Lin Chen and the others, it didn’t matter at all. They just regarded it as eating some spicy strips to pass the time.
Of course, only Duan Jibo complained bitterly, constantly grumbling that Lin Chen's hobby was too inhumane.
At this time, three players in Xu Linhao's team with broken hands were lying on the bed weakly.
"Brother Xu, what should we do? I'm already dizzy. If this continues, we'll starve to death here."
"Damn Chen, he has so much food on him that he can't even finish it. Can't he share some with us?"
"It's a joke that someone so selfish was named the God of Li."
The three of them were in pain and inexplicable grief. Thinking that they were four-star players who were superior to others in the outside world, but were going to starve to death here, they couldn't help but feel hatred towards Lin Chen.
Thinking of the spicy strips on Lin Chen's body, their jealousy and greed were aroused, and they wanted to rush into Lin Chen's yard and snatch them back.
"We are not his match, but if pushed to the limit, we will not be pushovers. Even if we are killed by him, it is better than starving to death!" Xu Linhao said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Yes, it's a death either way. At the very least, I can't stand that boy's arrogance. He simply doesn't treat us as human beings."
“We need the right opportunity.”
The three were whispering.
At this moment, an old voice slowly sounded from the void.
"Are you hungry?"
