Chapter 51: What Is a Record of the Desolate Village? It Must Be a Desolate Village

Yin Yuan Village, Saintess Valley.

A seemingly frail figure slowly climbed to the mountaintop.

On his back, he carried a stunningly beautiful girl lost in sleep.

Looking down at the pile of bones that were the Saintesses, he smirked and drew a dagger from his waist.

"Rise again! My beloved!"

"Oh, wrong channel again. It should be 'Rise! My undead army!'"

Wu Wang suddenly thrust the dagger into the ground.

The next second, the temperature in the windless valley began to drop.

In an instant, it reached below zero.

A black shadow crawled out of the skull tower; the mist on its face gradually dispersed, and before long, her tear-streaked visage was fully revealed, making onlookers ache with pity.

As the first Saintess's vengeful spirit emerged, black shadows began to surge endlessly throughout the entire valley.

The mist on their faces also began to clear.

The shackles representing restraint and confusion quietly vanished, leaving behind eyes filled with determination and gratitude.

"Mr.'s righteousness is great! This humble woman has no way to repay you!"

The first Saintess to appear knelt before Wu Wang, her appearance looking very young; from her hairstyle and speech, one could tell she was a well-bred lady from before the popularization of vernacular Chinese, and it was unknown how she had been tricked into becoming a Yin Yuan Saintess here.

The other Saintesses also knelt and bowed to Wu Wang one after another.

But he himself merely bowed slightly and stepped aside to avoid this great tribute.

Then, pointing with his finger toward the foot of the mountain, he said: "They built houses and lived in peace and happiness by trampling on your corpses; they ate your blood-steamed buns in harmony; they trampled on humanity and pushed greed to its peak."

"You do not need to thank anyone."

"Your only requirement is to take revenge; that is the best repayment."

Having said this, Wu Wang completely cleared the path down the mountain.

He knew very well that the doom of Yin Yuan Village had arrived.

They must pay the heaviest price for all the sins they had committed!

The Yin Yuan Saintesses exchanged glances.

Immediately, they roared and surged down the mountain.

Watching their figures recede into the distance, Wu Wang suddenly thought of something.

He shouted loudly toward the distance: "By the way! If you encounter someone who voluntarily begs for death while taking revenge..."

The Saintesses stopped and looked at Wu Wang.

But unexpectedly, this fellow couldn't hold it together the moment he opened his mouth.

"That doesn't mean they've realized their mistakes! When you meet such people, you must thoroughly check their courtyards, basements, and kitchen rice jars; who knows, they might be hiding a few people they wish to protect! Do not let them off!"

"?"

You're the habitual offender!

Why are you so skilled at this!

Although the Saintesses' expressions became somewhat strange, they firmly remembered Wu Wang's warning in their hearts.

They would not let anyone off!

After all the Yin Yuan Saintesses descended the mountain and entered the village, Wu Wang looked down.

The 【Ghost-Strike Dagger】 had completely turned to dust.

Obviously, the Black-hearted Penguin, while doing good deeds, would certainly not allow itself to earn an extra penny.

"The sun is coming out, yo~ Joyful, yo~"

"Lifting the carrying pole, lang-lang-che lang-che~ Up the hill, yo~"

Humming an old tune from long ago.

Adjusting Second Sister's position on his back, Wu Wang walked toward Zhang Sanfeng's dilapidated house in the distance.

He did not use a double jump, nor did he alter his posture.

After all, he was somewhat worried that the Black-hearted Penguin was still observing this area.

If he were caught at this moment as a red tentacle thief, it would truly be the end of everything.

Fortunately, relying on Wu Wang's stamina and speed.

Before long, he returned to the very starting point.

Just as he was placing Second Sister on the bed to lie down properly, the village outside also erupted with screams that echoed through the valley.

"Ah! Ghosts! There are ghosts!"

"Retribution... Retribution has arrived!"

"Please, spare me, I did nothing wrong!"

"Help! Help!"

"..."

The unceasing screams were so melodious, echoing in Wu Wang's ears like heavenly music.

The curve of his smirk grew even more pronounced.

His hands even couldn't help but wave.

As if conducting a top-tier choir, the pitch rose and fell here, while the lingering sound circled around there.

But it still felt like something was missing...

Boom—

Just as he was thinking this, a tremendous crash came from the foot of the mountain.

Following that came even more wretched screams, sounding as if they were enduring immense agony.

"That's right, how could there be no drumming?" He was so delighted his mouth wouldn't close.

Those magical tools buried along the road leading out of the village finally came into play.

Flesh pierced by steel pellets instantly erupted from gunpowder and explosions; even if not directly fatal, the screams of extreme pain joining this great chorus were the icing on the cake.

He was laughing wildly.

He was dancing.

Filled with bloodlust for destruction.

Cheering for new life.

The originally peaceful and tranquil village instantly turned into a human hell.

The mastermind behind all this felt no remorse at all; deep inside, he even felt like laughing.

Because in his view, this place had been a human hell from the very beginning.

It was merely draped in a layer of normal human skin.

Just like the old village head.

No matter how much he concealed it, what would not change beneath that thick cotton-padded jacket was his ugly body and his bloody human-skin garment.

Wu Wang admitted he had always known he was a terrible person, extremely vicious in both character and behavior.

But what was worse was that he had no intention of repenting.

The Great Sacrifice celebration last night was far less spectacular to him than the current human hell.

Tap-tap-tap—

Watching the living markers on the map gradually decrease until only a few scattered ones were still struggling.

Wu Wang's expression gradually returned to normal.

Because he saw one of the markers running toward his direction.

And fortunately, almost all the landmines on this road had been stepped on.

The other party stumbled and actually ran right up to the ruined house.

Creak—

Pushing open the unlocked wooden door.

A middle-aged man covered in blood, with tattered clothes and skin, tumbled inside.

He was already on the verge of exhaustion.

Seeing the familiar little madman before him.

Li Shu barely squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Er Wa-zi... save Li Shu... hurry and hide me!"

But immediately after, he heard the little madman let out a "pfft" of laughter.

With a voice cold to the extreme, he retorted: "Li Shu, why hide? Shouldn't we be running away with you? I'll take you into the forest to escape right now!"

"No... no... don't go into the forest." Li Shu had no time now to think about why the little madman was speaking so normally today.

His courage was about to be shattered by fear.

Wu Wang sneered: "Why not go into the forest? Is it because you know Yin Yuan Village cannot be left during the three days of the Great Sacrifice, right? Then why did you pretend to be kind and unlock Zhang Sanfeng's wooden door on the first day, letting him escape?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shu froze.

His eyes also began to dart around.

Yes! Knowing clearly that one could not leave during the Great Sacrifice and that entering the forest might bring great danger, why did he pretend to be kind-hearted and unlock Zhang Sanfeng's wooden door, letting the other party escape?

"Won't speak? Then I'll say it." Wu Wang picked up the magazine and continued: "Because the house you live in and the food you eat all belong to Zhang Sanfeng's family. After his parents died, the village distributed these things to your family, which was not yet very wealthy at the time."

"Now, seeing that Zhang Sanfeng is about to come of age, if he does not die in this Yin Yuan Great Sacrifice, all these things you obtained must be returned to him in full; this is the village's rule."

"To avoid spitting out those things that never belonged to your family, you would rather let him escape into the forest before the Yin Yuan Great Sacrifice and get lost there forever than face any unexpected situation."

"Pretending to be soft-hearted in front of your own wife."

"Stop pretending; you are also a beast wearing human skin and eating blood-dipped steamed buns."

Every word of Wu Wang struck heavily on Li Shu's heart.

His already exhausted body was on the verge of collapse.

He could not understand how these matters had been discovered.

How the secrets of his heart had been dug out completely.

Little did he know that Wu Wang had already learned almost everything while infiltrating the village.

Combined with the 【Gaze of Truth】 peering into the heart and Wu Wang's genius brain's reasoning.

Everything became clear with ease.

Click—

Wu Wang removed the magazine.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Li Shu's eyes.

Could it be that the other party was going to let him go?

But unexpectedly, Wu Wang slapped his face, then, in an extremely brutal manner, pinched his facial features and dragged the whole person outside the ruined house.

At this moment, over a hundred eerie, terrifying black shadows were already standing here.

They were waiting for this final sin to be cleansed.

"Trash like you is not worth wasting my bullets; those who should judge you are them. You can ask these Holy Maidens if they can forgive you." Wu Wang spat at Li Shu, whose legs were so weak he could not stand.

He turned and went back into the ruined house.

Those black shadows gradually surrounded and pinned down the terrified Li Shu.

Heart-wrenching screams echoed through the valley once again.

The starting point is also the end point.

All of this became the period ending the movement.

【Dungeon "Chronicles of the Desolate Village" has met the hidden conditions】

【Turn this place into a true desolate village】

【Please check for the hidden reward】

【Dungeon stay time remaining: 10 minutes】

In reality, an alarm in the Dungeon Supervision Department of a certain province's Bureau of Strange Affairs triggered a red warning.

They are the department responsible for supervising supernatural situations in the real world.

Now, Spirit Disaster players have integrated into society.

It is inevitable that supernatural phenomena will occur.

Therefore, every branch of the Bureau of Strange Affairs is extremely attentive to supervising supernatural situations in reality.

"Where did something happen?" the person in charge asked, his tone somewhat anxious.

A red warning; since the branch was established years ago, it seems we have only heard of it once!

This indicates that the supernatural situation that has arisen very likely involves a malicious attack on human society.

Moreover, it is highly probable to be an external attack, not an internal player issue.

"Boss, a strong wave of malicious energy has been detected deep within the Yin Yuan Mountains within our province."

"This energy wave also seems to be mixed with some kind of information."

The technical department is working at full capacity to decode the information the energy intends to convey.

Moments later, the supervisor received feedback.

His expression became extremely unnatural.

He turned back somewhat uncertainly and said, "It has been decoded."

"The other party seems to be saying—'The arrogant penguin and the damn lowly creature, He has returned.'"

"The detailed address has also been captured."

"A ruin called Yin Yuan Village inside the Yin Yuan Mountains."

"Five years ago, a bizarre supernatural event erupted there."

"Overnight, the entire village was left with no survivors and became a desolate village."

"The file on this incident is currently under Class A confidentiality."

"The file code name is—Chronicles of the Desolate Village."
