Chapter 354 The truth.
Li Baotian opened his mouth and narrated the entire incident in detail, just like telling a story.
The expressions of Lin Chen and others soon changed from interest to shock, and they stopped in amazement.
They had already guessed a lot, and although the content was not much different from what Li Baotian said, the hidden story was completely different.
Li Baotian is indeed not a good person.
He and Zhang Qing have known each other for a long time.
He lent food to Ma Baosheng not because he felt sorry for him, but to feed his wife and children...
Lin Chen had never asked the adulterer's name, but after Li Baotian told him the name, he realized that the adulterer's surname was also Zhang...
It’s Zhang Qing’s biological brother, Zhang Ming!
Zhang Qing's family failed in business, so after Zhang Ming had a relationship with Ma Lu, he ran away halfway.
Later, when Zhang Qing's family had the opportunity to return, Zhang Ming found out that he and Ma Lu already had a child, and the relationship rekindled.
But the Zhang family did not approve of this matter, and Zhang Ming was indeed a man who broke up with his family because of this matter, and thus lived a miserable life in secret.
"When we borrowed grain, Zhang Qing was at my house, but he didn't come out. He knew it was Ma Baosheng who came to borrow grain, so he agreed immediately."
What happened next was just as Lin Chen knew. The village chief happened to be at the door. Seeing Ma Baosheng happily leaving with the bag of grain, he thought for a moment and ran to Li Baotian's house.
This time, Li Baotian still borrowed the money and deliberately told the village chief that he was willing to help the villagers.
Li Baotian's father was an old landlord. Before he died, he wanted to become the village chief. He had a strong desire for power, and this desire influenced Li Baotian.
So after meeting the village chief, Li Baotian had an idea in his mind. He wanted to take advantage of the famine to become the village chief.
Afterwards, the hungry villagers who got the news came to borrow food.
At the beginning, Li Baotian was friendly and distributed food to every household.
But as time went on, even Li Baotian began to feel financially constrained. If his Li family really had a lot of money, they would not have coveted the position of village chief.
After just one month, he couldn't hold on any longer.
On this day, he heard a certain thought, and then he thought of mixing bran into the rice flour. He was also worried that the villagers would not acknowledge his debt, so he wrote a promissory note.
This is what the village chief calls "loan sharking".
The appearance of this IOU made the village chief realize that something was wrong. He and Li Baotian's father were old rivals, so he guessed Li Baotian's thoughts.
Therefore, his thoughts also changed, and on the same day, he heard the voice of the will of the horror game.
As for Zhang Qing, she had changed even earlier, the day she heard that Ma Baosheng killed and then cooked her brother.
The famine is over.
Li Baotian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and on this day, the village chief, who wanted to keep his position, began his little tricks.
He misled the villagers, telling them that Li Baotian fed them bran and the IOU said he was borrowing rice, which was a form of exploitation. They must resist this behavior, otherwise they would suffer a year of famine and would never be able to pay off the debt in their lifetime.
The originally hardworking villagers have developed a habit of being lazy and gluttonous after these experiences. After being brainwashed by the village chief, they are even unwilling to farm the land and their mentality is in a mess.
In their minds, all the food they grew had to be used to pay off debts, so it was better to continue fighting with Li Baotian's family.
From that day on, the famine ended, but the famine in people's hearts resurfaced.
Every day they would block the door of Li Baotian's family as if they were collecting debts. If they refused to lend them food, they would just curse them.
“Being rich is not kind.”
"A selfish little man."
"God will take your family away sooner or later, and other vicious words."
Li Baotian was so angry that he almost died on the spot. He spent most of his family wealth but got nothing good in return. This made him, who had a stubborn temper, go against the villagers directly.
But Li Baotian knew how to disguise himself. He was unwilling to leave the Li family's yard, and he paid several strong men to serve as guards.
Zhang Qing, on the other hand, was very flamboyant. She was pretty, and with the Li family's wealth, she was the only woman in the village who could afford rouge and powder.
She frequently walked out of the yard and walked among the crowd with her bodyguards, attracting many eyes. She cursed at the villagers and showed contempt for them.
In her words, almost all the villagers were untouchables who got something for nothing.
The whole village was plunged into this contradictory atmosphere, which was caused by human nature and the influence of the horror game, catalyzing the desires in people's hearts.
Finally one day, several women, who learned that their men's souls were about to be seduced away by Zhang Qing, picked up scissors, embroidery needles, and sharp knives at home and blocked the lonely Zhang Qing.
They cut up Zhang Qing's face like crazy.
After that day, Zhang Qing went crazy.
Although Li Baotian beat the village women to death with wooden sticks to vent his anger, Zhang Qing still went crazy.
She became very gloomy and no longer used rouge and powder. She wore dirty and torn clothes, had disheveled hair, and looked extremely weird. As the village chief said, she hid in dark corners all day, staring at passers-by, causing considerable psychological pressure on people.
Li Baotian was stimulated again and went completely crazy. Influenced by the horror game, he treated the disfigured Zhang Qing as the apple of his eye. It was a kind of pathology hidden deep in his heart.
He wanted to show the villagers that no matter what happened to those who followed him, Li Baotian, they would always be the most precious pearl!
This is a silent cry, an expression of disapproval.
But his appearance was so frightening that people could not help but feel scared. People often saw him being caring towards Zhang Qing, who had a ferocious face. That kind of intimacy was chilling.
Until one day, their wedding began.
Things were a little different from what the village chief said. The villagers were not too nervous to eat. Instead, they were like starving ghosts, gobbling up the food on the table in no time.
Even though they were so full that they couldn't breathe, they didn't stop, as if they wanted to eat enough in one go.
It is said that the old lady Li, who could not lift anything with her hands or shoulders, was the one who ate the most.
Seeing this, Li Baotian laughed out loud, feeling both relieved and angry.
On the wedding night, Li Baotian strangled Zhang Qing to death when no one was watching, ending his perverted love.
Yes, Li Baotian looks normal, but he has actually been crazy for a long time.
The funeral did begin the next day.
Paper money with square shapes outside and round shapes inside was scattered all over the deserted village, and all the villagers were invited again to the unprecedentedly grand funeral in the deserted village.
That night, Zhang Qing appeared. She was a ghost born from the resentment of the deserted village. Almost all the resentment that Lin Chen saw in Li Baotian's house came from her alone.
She is a ghost wandering in the world, and as soon as she appears, she is at the peak of the ghost king.
The ghost bride in a red wedding dress killed Li Baotian the first thing she did when she appeared. She wanted to stay with Li Baotian forever.
Next, she began her road to revenge, killing the village chief and all the villagers.
This remote village has been turned into an uninhabited village.
And today, the appearance of Lin Chen has turned this village full of evil spirits into a ghost-free village.
"My guess was right. There is not a single good person here. They are all bad guys, and they are all real ghosts." Lin Chen said slowly after savoring it as if he was listening to a story.
No one is innocent, and no one is born bad.
Li Baotian had selfish motives, but he did make sacrifices.
Li Fu was originally the village chief, leading the villagers to work diligently, but he made changes because of Li Baotian's selfishness.
Zhang Qing just loves beauty and publicity, but has never hurt anyone. However, his brother died tragically and he himself was disfigured.
The villagers were originally willing to work hard, but because of Li Baotian and Li Fu, they became selfish.
The deserted village is like a whirlpool, sucking up all the evil.
Duan Jibo sighed: "Since ancient times, human hearts have been the most complicated. Sometimes people are scarier than ghosts."
"If any of these people had stepped back a little, it wouldn't have gotten to this point."
"Perhaps they were chosen by the horror world..."
Everyone was feeling inexplicably moved. As they were talking, a bright light appeared on the body of a ghost player, attracting everyone's attention.
That is the teleportation power brought by the rules.
After many years, their mission was not completed. After hearing the truth, he subconsciously submitted the mission and unexpectedly obtained Xu's permission to leave.
"Captain Duan, I will report to the Kyoto Secret Guard Headquarters within three days." The man said with ecstasy on his face.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, the ghost players exuded the light of rules. They were equally excited, but they did not forget to promise Duan Jiebo that they would go to Kyoto within three days.
Until finally, all these minions left the copy.
Duan Jibo's face was filled with joy, and he was in an extremely happy mood, but he did not leave. Instead, he said to Lin Chen, "Chen boy, can you give me some of your drug? I want to study it."
"Do you want to charm Chen De?" Lin Chen asked subconsciously.
However, this time, Duan Jibo actually admitted: "Yes and no, to be honest, Chen De is in danger now. Of course, it is caused by his own subjective factors. I want some drugs to knock him out at the critical moment. In addition, I also want to study it to see if it can be replicated in large quantities..."
"Take it, and remember to tell me what you analyze." Lin Chen casually threw over a white bottle.
The obedient water is not a product of this world, and its specifications are very high. He does not think that the secret guard can perfectly copy it, but he also wants to know why the obedient water is so effective.
"Listen...obedient water?" Duan Jiebo looked at the three big words on the white porcelain bottle, his expression became very interesting, and he quickly put it away.
"Chen De, if you have anything to say, you can tell me." Lin Chen thought about it and spoke.
"It's hard to say about this matter, but he is a good man. Team Zhou and I are trying to find a way to persuade him. If we can persuade him, everything will be fine. Otherwise, Chen De will die." Duan Jiebo's face became solemn and he looked a little depressed. It was impossible for him not to worry about his old comrade Chen De.
But he didn't tell the real reason . It wasn't that he wanted to hide it, but Chen De didn't let him tell anyone, especially Lin Chen, otherwise it would be counterproductive.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Lin Chen didn't ask any more questions. He would ask Chen De himself when he had the chance. If Chen De refused to say anything, then it wouldn't be his fault.
"We're withdrawing too. Chen, you're most likely going back to Blue Star this time. Now that you're a five-star player, there's no need to hide anything. Let's have a drink together then. Team Zhou, Chen De and I all want to meet you in real life." Duan Jiebo said with a smile.
As he spoke, he, Duan Qi, and Chen Yuan all began to glow with golden light.
They knew that since Lin Chen had not left, he must have stayed to deal with something, so they gave Lin Chen this private space.
The light is extinguished.
When the copy ended, everyone left.
The only ones left in this copy were Lin Chen, Tieguo, the village chief, and Li Baotian and his wife.
"Okay, I'll send you away. Since I promised not to kill you, I will naturally not go back on my word. Go in and do your job well." After Lin Chen said this, without waiting for the two ghosts to speak, he took out a pink sack and put the two ghosts in it.
[Successfully resold the fake ghost king Li Baotian and obtained 2 million Shengui coins. 】
[Successfully resold the Painful Ghost Zhang Qing and obtained 4 million Shengui coins. 】
Both ghost kings have a premium, and they are indeed new and strange ghost species that have never been seen before.
Lin Chen's Shengui coins rose again, reaching 86 million, approaching the 90 million mark.
"Li Fu, I didn't promise not to kill you, did I?" Lin Chen asked Li Fu with a smile.
Li Fu's pupils shrank and his eyes immediately widened.
Lin Chen said: "You brought a bunch of ghosts with you. They ate so many spicy noodles from me. You should give me something in return."
Lin Chen showed no mercy to this old ghost who was full of ulterior motives, and Li Fu, the master of the copy, was of great use to him.
He needs the deserted village copy.
Because there is no time limit in the deserted village, if he gets the permission of this copy, he can stay in the horror world indefinitely!
