I'm Dressed as a Non-Human Again [Quick Wear]

173: The Ever-Changing NPC for Infinite Players (13)

Su Ze looked at a loss for words, but Ming Shiye looked like he accepted it well, shaking his head and shaking the high ponytail on the back of his head.

"Introduce your respective roles?" Ming Shiye quickly got into the mood, "I am a dance student."

Su Ze is a medical student, and the other two are art students and physical education students respectively.

The art student is a petite and delicate girl, while the sports student is tall and even his sportswear cannot hide his strong and well-proportioned muscles.

Akishino subconsciously glanced at the sports student, his eyes stayed on the other's wheat-colored face for two seconds, then he lowered his eyes calmly, and with his fingertips hanging by his side, he lightly pressed the button in his pocket through the fabric of his clothes. That broken jade.

Just now, when he looked at the sports student, the broken jade in his pocket seemed to be giving off a faint heat, as if it was reminding him of something.

After the four exchanged their identities, they walked along the only road towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

The unfamiliar faces quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. The village chief walked over on crutches. After hearing their intentions, he showed great enthusiasm.

"Since you are lost, why not rest in our village tonight." The old village head stooped, squinted his eyes and smiled kindly, "There are wild wolves in the mountains at night, and they are dangerous!" The four people at the village gate looked at each other

. Looking at you, seeing that no one else, including Ming Shiye, seemed to have any intention of speaking, Su Ze nodded to the old village chief and said, "Thank you so much, grandpa." The four of them followed the old village chief into the village. At this time, it was

It was approaching dinner time, and the sky was dim in the distance, but the village was still very lively, with festive colorful lanterns hanging in front of every house.

Akishino asked: "Have there been any happy events in the village recently?"

"Yes, in a few days it will be the day for our village to pay homage to the mountain god." The old village chief replied with a smile, "The sacrifices to the mountain god have been prepared. , I hope the mountain god can continue to protect our Lingshan Village as before."

Ming Shiye caught the key words: "Sacrifice?"

"They are all prepared by the villagers voluntarily." The old village chief pointed to the warehouse not far away, "The things are simple, but the mountain gods don't mind them. They are excellent."

Everyone looked along and saw that the warehouse door happened to be open, and they could vaguely see the items piled inside - dry food, fruits, homemade pastries, and homemade clothing and tools. , they are indeed relatively simple things.

Ming Shiye turned his eyes to the warehouse, where there was another room with the windows and doors closed, and asked, "Is that room also a warehouse?" "Yes, there are also sacrifices in it," the old village chief said

.

Su Ze asked him: "Since they are all sacrifices, why not put them together? This warehouse is quite big." "That

small warehouse stores living animals." The old village chief said without changing his expression, "They are all Everyone hunted pheasants and mountain pigs from the mountains... there were a lot of them. The wild animals were too wild, so they were stored separately for fear of spoiling the other sacrifices." There was no flaw in what he said. Su Ze thought about it and thought about it

. What's wrong? I didn't ask any more questions.

The four players said nothing and listened to the old village chief's words.

The old village chief said that this mountain is called Lingshan, and the village is called Lingshan Village. Our ancestors have been living here for a long time.

Lingshan Village is not very big, with a permanent population of less than a hundred people.

The four of them followed the footsteps of the old village chief and came to several low houses near the other side of the village.

"In the past, there were occasional lost travelers staying overnight in our village, so we simply built three guest rooms." The old village chief said, "You can stay here tonight. It's up to you how to allocate the rooms. "

After the instructions, the old village chief left on crutches, saying that he was going to see the preparations for the memorial day.

The physical education student looked at them, and finally looked at Su Ze and said, "Let's share the same room."

Before Su Ze could say anything, a pair of hands quickly grabbed his arm. This familiar feeling shocked Su Ze's heart, almost I immediately realized that my little friend's bad taste was coming up again.

Sure enough, the next second he heard the sweet voice of a girl in his ear: "I'm sorry, can Xiao Ming and I share a room?" Sensing the hint from his friend, Su Ze almost lost his temper and said:

" Well, Jingjing and I share a room."

The physical education student was stunned and looked the two of them up and down several times: "Xiao Ming? Jingjing?" The

art student on the side was silent for a moment, and asked through the sound transmission: "Jingjing And... John?"

The familiar title made Ming Shiye and Su Ze look at each other at the same time. Ming Shiye squinted his eyes and asked through the same voice: "Writer?" The petite art student said softly: "It's me

. "

Su Ze glanced at her in shock and thought to himself that it was fate to meet him like this.

Since Xiao Ming and Jingjing were 'couples', the sports student didn't say anything else, and he and the art student chose a room and moved in.

The conditions in Lingshan Village are not very good, and the guest rooms are relatively simple. The rooms only have the necessary beds, tables and chairs, and there are no cabinets for clothes.

Fortunately, the bed is big enough to sleep two people.

The four people briefly searched the room and after confirming that there were no traps set by the villagers in advance, there was a knock on the door.

It was a villager from Lingshan Village. Hearing that guests were coming to the village, he spontaneously prepared dinner for them.

The four people thanked them and took the dinner, but the person who delivered the meal did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked, "Did the village chief tell you?" Su Ze asked, "What did you say?" "Some rules in the village .

"

The villager said mysteriously, "You can't go to the road behind the mountain at will. If you must go, go with a group and don't go alone. Also, please stay in your room and don't go out after dark." , even if you hear someone knocking on the door at night, don't open the door."

Ming Shiye asked: "Grandma, I understand not to go to the back mountain alone, but why can't you open the door if someone knocks on the door at night? Anyone who knows how to knock on the door, Are you from the village?"

"Oh, what are you kids doing asking so many questions?" The grandma waved her hands repeatedly, "You know what you are doing, just do it, there are some things you can't talk about!" After saying this,

The grandma who delivered the meal left, walking in a hurry as if there was something urgent.

The four of them watched their grandma go away, and then they went back to their respective houses. Su Ze used his skills to make sure there was nothing else added to the food, and then he invited Akashi Ye to have dinner together.

After finishing the meal, it was still some time before dark.

Some villagers have returned to their houses, but some are still outside, gathering together to chat and laugh.

Ming Shiye and Su Ze quickly blended in and learned a lot from the villagers.

For example, Lingshan Village will pay tribute to the mountain god at this time every year. The mountain god who receives the tribute will bless the health of the people in the village, and they will live smoothly in the next year.

On the surface, this is just a closed, somewhat superstitious ordinary village.

Su Ze scratched his head, unable to find any useful clues for the moment.

"An ordinary village? It's not ordinary at all. There's a big problem." Akishino snorted, "Didn't you notice? Since we entered this village, we haven't seen a single young face."

Su Ze recalled it and was horrified: "How could this be? Even if young people have gone out to work to earn money, paying homage to the mountain god should be a big event, right? You should come back to participate! And I didn't even see a child - -"

Su Ze trembled and lowered his voice and guessed: "This Lingshan Village...could it be a village that eats human flesh?" "I don't

know, but it's not impossible." Ming Shiye picked. He raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Don't you think... the village chief's attitude towards us is a little too enthusiastic?"

Su Ze broke out in a cold sweat with one sentence. He quickly rubbed his arms, trying to get rid of the coldness on his body. .

The sky was getting darker and darker, and there was only a blurry white line left on the horizon in the distance.

The village, which was very lively just now, seemed to have been pressed on the silence button. Except for the howling wind and the faint chirping of birds and insects on the mountain, there was no movement in the village.

Akoshino tried to knock on the door of the nearby villagers, but the other party did not open the door. He just asked them to go back to the house through the door. It was going to be completely dark.

Su Ze, who had gone separate ways with him, came back not long after and said, "All the villagers have gone back to their houses. Without exception, everyone seems to be very taboo about the night." "What they taboo most is what we need most, and it will definitely happen at night

. There are clues." Ming Shiye said, "Let's go back to the room."

Su Ze caught up with him and asked, "Are you not going to investigate anymore?"

"Everyone is hiding. A purposeless search is too inefficient." Ming Tokino said, "Didn't they say that if you hear someone knocking on the door at night, you can't open the door? Just because they say they can't open it doesn't mean that we really won't open it." Su Ze suddenly realized: "I understand, isn't this just sitting back and waiting!

"

Mingshi Ye didn't answer and went back to the room to spread out the quilt.

When night came, neither of the two people in the room slept. Two grown men, oh no, a man and a woman were lying on the bed holding a quilt, waiting for the knock on the door.

However, what sounded before the knock on the door was the sound of slight snoring.

Ming Shiye was stunned, realizing that the snoring was coming from Su Ze, and almost immediately became alert: "Su Ze?"

Su Ze, who was sleeping on the other side of the bed, did not respond.

Ming Shiye turned over and sat up, reaching out to push Su Ze who was wrapped in another quilt, but the other party didn't even respond at all.

Ming Shiye knew Su Ze's temperament very well. The other person's personality was a little careless, but he was definitely not an unreliable character who would lose his temper at critical moments.

If you fall asleep at this time, it means-

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

A low knock on the door sounded, which was extremely abrupt in the silent room.

Akashino subconsciously looked in the direction of the door, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

There was a knock on the door... no, this should be said to be a knock on the window.

The villagers warned not to open the door to anyone who knocked on the door, but knocking on the window... No one said that someone would knock on the window at night. Akira Shino didn't think this was an omission by the villagers as an NPC.

His eyes were stern, he turned his palm and took out a protective item, placed it next to Su Ze, and then reached out to open the window.

The window was open, but nothing happened.

There was silence outside the door, and only the wind blowing through the night could be heard, making the weak windows creak.

Ming Shiye waited for a long time, but still couldn't wait for any movement. He could only close the window and lie back on the quilt again.

Before long, his consciousness began to drift.

When Ming Shiye realized something was wrong, it was already too late. The sudden sleepiness quickly dragged him into the deep darkness. He only had time to bite the tip of his tongue hard and barely maintain the last bit of shaky consciousness.

There was a slight noise in the room, coming from the other end of the room. It sounded like a snake crawling on the ground, or like the sound of someone dragging a leg that was unable to move.

The sound was getting closer and closer to the bed, climbing up the wooden bedpost and onto the bed.

Akashiye tried to move his arms, but he felt that his body seemed to be imprisoned by some invisible and intangible force, and he could not move even an inch.

He clearly felt that the thing that climbed onto the bed gently lifted up a corner of the quilt and crawled into the quilt along the small gap.

After a messy groping, the slender thing seemed to have found its target. It suddenly reached under his clothes, lightly rubbed against his waist twice, and gradually began to slide downwards.

Ming Shino's breath was suffocated, and his body suddenly became tense.

what? !

Hurry!

He is dirty! ! !

Akoshino suddenly increased his strength in struggling, rummaging around in his skill backpack, trying almost all the skills, and finally managed to break free before the weird, tentacle-like object really tarnished his innocence. The power that imprisoned him.

His body returned to his own control. Akoshino suddenly sat up from the bed. The strange 'tentacles' on his body disappeared almost at the same time. When he glanced at his body and the bedside, the strange thing had already disappeared. .

Ming Shiye: "..."

He has never been so aggrieved in his life!

Ming Shiye's eyes were gloomy, and he almost gritted his teeth: "If you dare to do this again, no matter what you are, I will cut you to pieces!" Unfortunately, there was no response from the empty room, only Su Ze's gentle and peaceful snoring

. He didn't seem to notice what had just happened in the room.

The next day, when Su Ze finally woke up from his deep sleep, it was already bright outside the window.

He stretched out and felt that this sleep was extremely comfortable. Then he heard the cold voice of his friend next to him: "Are you awake?" The memory of last night before falling asleep suddenly emerged, and Su Ze jumped out of bed

. , screamed: "Damn it! I actually fell asleep?!"

Ming Shiye smiled at him and said: "What do you think?"

Su Ze's face was full of shock, and he didn't forget to ask: "Didn't happen last night? What's going on? Did anyone knock on the door?"

"No knock on the door." Ming Shiye said, "But there was someone who knocked on the window."

Su Ze quickly asked: "How is it? Did you find any clues to catch him? "

The moment he saw Ming Shiye's appearance, Su Ze paused, raised his hand and tapped his face and asked, "Shiye, what's wrong with you here?" Ming Shiye frowned slightly and found something from his backpack

. After looking in a small mirror, he discovered that a red mark had been printed on the side of his face at some point. The red mark was long and winding, extending along the side of his face to his neck and then to the bottom of his collar.

You don't need to look at Akira Tokino to know that his body under his clothes must also be covered with such marks.

"I don't know." Ming Shiye's face was gloomy, with a vague sense of gloominess in his tone. "Maybe he was crawled by something unclean." Su Ze took a look at his expression and intuitively told him that

he My little friend didn't want to say more at this time, so he stopped talking in time.

Ming Shiye briefly recounted what happened last night after Su Ze fell asleep. Of course, he skipped the strange 'tentacle' touching him.

"He knocked on the window but did nothing? Isn't this too strange?" Su Ze frowned, "Or is it that he originally wanted to do something, but you scared him away before he could do it? "

Who knows." Ming Shiye sneered, "Okay, let's go out when you're ready."

The two of them washed up briefly, and when they went out, they happened to meet the art students and sports students in the room next to them.

The four of them walked towards the village together, but after taking no more than two steps, they suddenly heard the villagers exclaiming in the distance: "No! The sacrifice has escaped!!!" The four of them looked at each other and speeded up their pace towards the village in tacit understanding

. Walk inside.

When they arrived at the noisy place, the villagers were already in a mess. The old village chief stood in the crowd with a very sad expression and said angrily: "Look for it! We must find the sacrifice! We can't let him run away." Got it!"

Ming Shiye looked at the warehouse aside, and sure enough he found that the door of the small warehouse where the living sacrifices were stored as the village chief said yesterday had been opened wide, but there was nothing inside.

The art student took two steps forward and asked, "Grandpa, village chief, is there anything we can do to help?"

The people around the old village chief had already dispersed, looking for the escaped sacrifices in different directions.

Hearing the art students' questions, the old village chief sighed, smiled at them and said, "It's okay. You are guests from afar, so I won't bother you." Su Ze also said, "It's okay, we're staying here."

Of course, in the village, we can't live and eat for free, so we will try to help as much as we can." "Didn't I

say yesterday that the warehouses were all animals hunted from the mountains?" the sports student said, "We can help hunt some small animals. "

How can it be the same!" The village chief knocked his cane hard, as if he realized that his tone was too much, and quickly slowed down his voice and said, "The sacrifices offered to the mountain god are all done by someone else. It's too late to go to the mountains to catch them now."

The old village chief sighed, his eyes swept over the four young figures in front of him, and the strange light in his eyes flashed away.

"There are wild beasts in the mountains, the mountain roads are complicated, and it's a foggy day again today. You can have a good rest in the village." He said, "When I really need your help, I will come to you." After that

, The old village chief was about to leave on crutches, but suddenly he looked at Ming Shiye who was standing behind him: "Child, this is on your face..." "You're

allergic." Ming Shiye shook his head, with his long ponytail on his face. Swinging behind him, he said, "My skin is quite sensitive, and I will be allergic if I change the environment. I have already applied allergy medicine, and I will be fine in two days. It's okay, Grandpa." "That's good, that's good." The old man said

The village chief asked again and again, as if he was worried, "You didn't open the door last night, right?"

Ming Shiye said, "We all remembered it, but we didn't open the door."

Opening the window is not opening the door, and he didn't lie.

The old village chief left with peace of mind.

Another villager seemed to have gotten his order and asked him to take good care of these guests from afar, so he took two steps forward and said, "I've made you laugh. Let's go. I'll prepare some food for you.

" On the way, Ming Shiye remained silent. It was not until he returned to the guest room and closed the door that Ming Shiye said, "The sacrifice is a human being, not an animal." Su Ze nodded: "I guessed it." "I saw him running

away

. There are footprints." Ming Shiye said, "The footprints extend into the village, all the way to the back door of the village, and go up the mountain from the fork on the left behind the village." Su Ze's eyes lit up: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and catch up

! "

As he said this, he wanted to push the door open, but was stopped by Akashi Ye in time.

"There are people guarding us outside the door. Just go out like this. Be careful of being persuaded to rebel." Ming Shiye pointed to the window on the other side of the room and said, "Take the window." Su Ze subconsciously obeyed his words until he followed Ming Shi.

He kept sneaking from the back of the village to the mountain road before he asked: "Are they watching us?" Ming

Shiye said with a grunt: "The sacrifice ran away, of course they can't let the spare sacrifice go. Something happened."

"Backup sacrifices?" Su Ze was shocked, "We are the backup sacrifices?!"

Ming Shiye glanced at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "What do you think? How could an NPC on a horror set treat strangers for no reason? He is so friendly?"

"Isn't he the master of the castle? He is still pursuing you!" Su Ze muttered, "Oh, you can't say that. He just got it because of sex, and he has a purpose." Ming

Shiye Then he stopped talking. The young man's delicate and noble face flashed in his mind, and his eyes dimmed a little.

The two were in good physical condition, and it didn't take long for them to follow the invisible footprints and reach the end.

There is a dilapidated ancient temple standing nearly halfway up the mountain. The doors and windows of the ancient temple are closed, and most of the tiles on the roof have even fallen off, making it look like a dilapidated building.

Su Ze hesitated: "This...could it be the Mountain Temple?"

Ming Shiye took two steps forward and bent down, brushing off the dust on the fallen plaque in front of the temple. The words 'Lingshan Temple' above it were blurred. Unclear.

"The villagers of Lingshan Village worship the mountain god, but the real mountain temple is so dilapidated." Su Ze murmured, "This is too strange." Ming Shiye narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'm afraid the sacrifice to the mountain god is fake

. , it's true if you have another purpose."

He stood up and pushed open the temple door, and the dilapidated door creaked.

"Let's go." Ming Shiye said, "There must be clues in it."

Su Ze quickly followed his footsteps.

The temple was even more dilapidated than it looked outside. The light from outside the window filtered in through the gaps with difficulty. The temple was still very dark and the visibility was extremely poor.

There is a tall but dilapidated statue in the lobby of the ancient temple. The outer shell of the statue is already mottled. The altar in front is empty. Even the futon used for worship is dusty and even has many holes chewed by rats.

The two of them split up and wandered in the lobby in two opposite directions, trying to search for clues.

Suze started from the gate to one side, while Akira Tokino started from the statue to the other side.

At this moment, Ming Shiye suddenly noticed that something invisible was suddenly placed on his shoulder, and he squeezed it gently.

Mingshi Zhizhi's head moved, and he was about to turn sideways to struggle, but suddenly he heard a low voice coming from his ear, but he felt that it was particularly familiar.

"Shh," the voice seemed to be suppressing a smile, "be quieter, you don't want to be discovered by him, right?"
