Chapter 204: The Bright Moonlight of the Villain in the National Destiny Game 17
Following Marin's steps, they came to a small village hidden in the rainforest.
At the entrance of the village, there stands a statue of a devil with a green face and fangs.
He Qingwan pretended to be frightened and hid behind Shen Yi. Shen Yi asked at the right time, "Ms. Marlene, what is this statue...?"
Hearing Shen Yi's doubts, Malin looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, she began to tell the story of the statue mysteriously.
"It is said that this Golden Island was once the habitat of a devil who loved to eat human flesh. The people on the island were miserable and prayed every day for some god to save them. Later, a human hero appeared and killed the devil. To commemorate him, the people on the island built this statue for him."
At this point, Marlene covered her mouth and laughed, "In my opinion, this statue looks like a devil...ah!"
Marlene screamed and covered her head. Blood leaked out from between her fingers, dripping onto the ground and sinking into the soil.
"I'll beat you to death, you bad woman, for slandering our hero." The little boy, who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, was holding a stone in his hand.
His face was filled with anger, as if Marlene was the murderer of his father.
Marlene was too weak to argue, so she covered her head and ran away the other way.
Only ten players were left standing there, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
The little boy had no ill will towards the players. He just looked at them with caution. "Our village welcomes you, but you cannot slander our heroes."
Everyone nodded and promised not to be prejudiced against heroes. The little boy was satisfied and led everyone into the village.
"There's a new person coming."
The families living at the entrance of the village warmly welcomed the players, but the families living at the end of the village kept their doors closed and were too lazy to pay attention to the players.
The little boy went to a house at the end of the village without saying a word, opened the door and walked in.
Are attitudes so different in the same village?
He Qingwan was too lazy to think, she looked directly at Shen Yi, "Did you find anything?"
Shen Yi nodded, "Yes." He whispered to He Qingwan, "As for the architectural style, look at the houses at the deepest part. The architectural style is the same. They are all stone houses with strange silver objects hanging on the doors and windows. But the architectural styles of the houses over here are basically different, and there are nothing hanging on the doors and windows."
"Yeah, so." He Qingwan picked his nails carelessly, fortunately the newly done nails were fine.
"Thinking back on what Marlene said about living on Golden Island for seventeen years and the stories about Golden Island," Shen Yi speculated, "Marlene should have been stranded on Golden Island like us. Not only Marlene, but also several families on the outskirts should have been stranded on Golden Island."
“The families at the deepest part are most likely the natives of Golden Island.”
Shen Yi turned around and looked at the statue standing tall at the entrance of the village. "The natives believe in their heroes, and those who have drifted here naturally have their own beliefs. People with different beliefs cannot live in harmony."
Especially when the other person believes in something strange.
"So what should we do?" He Qingwan didn't listen at all. She was very happy now that she had found an external brain. It was so cool that she didn't need to use her brain to do anything!
"We have to first figure out who the "they" in "Liberate Them" are." Shen Yi analyzed the information given in the task. "According to our daily writing style, a man and a woman are basically referred to as "they". Only when all the people are women will we use "they". Here, "they" is specifically stated, which means that we want to liberate women, but the exact number is unknown."
He Qingwan: “?”
No, you analyze so many things just from these few words?
I understand. Next time when my client is a college student, I will ask Shen Yi to write the paper.
"So we have to pay special attention to women who travel in groups, right?" He Qingwan used her mental power to scan the entire village. When she scanned a certain place, her expression became a little subtle.
Noticing He Qingwan's expression, Shen Yi asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
He Qingwan shook his head, "Nothing."
There shouldn't be any problem, so I'd better not say it out loud to put pressure on Shen Yi.
"Welcome everyone to the Golden Island."
An old man with a kind face walked over cheerfully. Judging from his face, he had a pure oriental appearance.
"My last name is Zhang, you can just call me Uncle Zhang." Uncle Zhang came over and wanted to shake hands with the players.
He Qingwan and Shen Yi stood in the last row without moving.
Childe, who was standing in the front, naturally became the target. His blue eyes were full of indifference. He formed his five fingers into claws, and five extremely thin silk threads emerged from between his fingers and tied up the person next to him.
The person next to him was the male player from the Winter Country. He came to Charles uncontrollably and blocked Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang just held Ego's hand and shook it.
Nothing happened.
Childe took back the thread, and Egg also hurriedly hid away.
"You can get in but you can't get out of Golden Island." Uncle Zhang sighed, "Since you are here, just stay here and feel at ease."
"Are you all people who accidentally stranded on the Golden Island?" Yaoguang's voice was soft and her tone was soothing, making people unconsciously let down their guard.
Uncle Zhang stroked his beard and nodded, "Those who live closer to the inside of the village are the original owners of Golden Island. All of us are outsiders."
He smiled bitterly, "Because of our different beliefs, we had disagreements and a lot of conflicts. Later, the conflicts became more and more serious, and now we have reached the point where we will never have any contact with each other again."
"Let's not talk about that for now." Uncle Zhang changed the subject abruptly. "You can live in other people's homes in the village first. We will help you build your house during this time."
Grandpa Zhang assigned people on crutches, then suddenly thought of something and walked into the crowd to warn the players, "Don't go up to the volcano at the back. There live monsters that only eat people. No one who went there came back alive."
He Qingwan, who was standing at the back, leaned close to Shen Yi and whispered to him, "Listen carefully, we'll go to the volcano behind when it gets dark."
Shen Yi: "...Okay."
He Qingwan and Shen Yi were assigned to the home of a middle-aged single man.
He has a Western face and his name is unclear, except that his last name is Lawrence.
Lawrence's home was at the outermost edge. According to Uncle Zhang, he had lived on Golden Island for less than two years. His wife and daughter were torn to pieces and eaten by the monster living next to the volcano behind him. He was the only one who escaped by chance and was found by the villagers and saved his life.
The huge blow of losing his wife and daughter at the same time made Lawrence a little mentally unstable. But he was kind by nature and never caused trouble for others.
Sometimes when he went crazy, he would just go to the beach where his wife and daughter died and cry alone.
