Chapter 363: Yinshan Village

The red light in the hospital's resuscitation room went out, and Bai Liu, sitting on a bench, slowly raised his head and looked into the resuscitation room behind Yang Zhi, who was standing in front of him, and exchanged a casual glance.

With that one glance, Yang Zhi knew that Bai Liu couldn't possibly see her, but she still felt her mouth, nose and organs frozen.

Yang Zhi expected Bai Liu to rush over to the resuscitation room immediately, but he didn't. He simply glanced at the lighted sign in the resuscitation room and withdrew his eyes.

Bai Liu made a gesture that gave Yang Zhi goosebumps as he looked down and picked out the intact one from the bag of oranges that had fallen at his feet, peeling it open with his long, white fingers and chewing it, petal by petal, in his mouth.

The orange juice drips from Bai Liu's fingers to the ground.

Then Bai Liu dropped his eyes and said in a flat tone, "What a waste, there are so few good ones left from the fall, and the ones I bought were quite expensive."

It was a normal comment and action, but in Bai Liu's memory Yang Zhi could clearly feel a murderous intent in his back, and he felt a chill of fear and dread that made Yang Zhi struggle to wake up from his memory.

He opened his eyes in a sweat, his face pale, breathing heavily.

"What's wrong with you again?" Kong Xuyang's annoyed voice came, "You're talking and then suddenly you're silent, just say what you want to say, don't keep hanging on."

Yang Zhi shook his head, trying to open his mouth wide, shaking his head to make a sound, but his throat and nose felt like they were covered in wet cotton, and no sound could come out.

His mind was dizzy, the scene before him was spinning, and the edges of his vision were spinning in layers of multicoloured light.

The murderous intent and desire in Bai Liu's memories against the killer is so overwhelming that Yang Zhi is completely unable to digest and process the immense malice directed at her, and can only be carried along in a controlled onslaught, becoming a slave to Bai Liu's memories.

...... is so scary.

Yang Zhi has digested the memories of so many people, but never before has she experienced such extreme desires in her memory that a mere glimpse of them would cause a physical resistance reaction.

But what is even more terrifying is that the person concerned seems so calm, as if he is used to this level of emotional self-control, despite the intensity of the emotions he is harbouring.

Yang Zhi was nauseous for a while before he could barely recover, and was just about to speak as he held Kong Xuyang's arm when he saw Kong Xuyang's eyes light up and interrupted him, "Something's coming!"

In the darkness of the night several mutilated bodies walk through the graveyard, their heads stretched out to sniff at each grave bag in turn, as if they are finding the one that belongs to them.

Kong Xuyang held his breath and Yang Zhi didn't dare to breathe as they waited here for over an hour for the zombies to return to their graves.

There are too many burial mounds here, and no names or monuments, and not everyone buried in them is related to the main backstory line, which means that the village calendars buried with these village people are not necessarily the ones Kong Xuyang needs.

It's not easy to dig up the graves one by one, but it's also easy to scare the snakes, and it's not easy to tell if the graves are filled with people or ghosts, so digging them up is another chase.

So after thinking about it, Kong Xuyang found a solution - wait for the zombies to return to their graves.

These zombies are driven by the paper daoist to return to their graves at dawn, as if they were sleeping in their nests, and are then driven by the paper daoist to their graves at night to stay with the Bridge Martyr ghosts, so that they can be reunited as husband and wife and quell the resentment of the Bridge Martyr ghosts.

And the zombies that have been to the graves and back again must be related to the main backstory line; when the time comes, all they need to do is dig up the graves these zombies have returned to and go find the village calendars they were buried with.

Kong Xuyang, with an amulet of disguise on his forehead, holds a branch in his hands and looks at the zombies clawing their way through the graves in the obscure moonlight with a smug grin on his face.

It was as close as he expected.

"Later, I'll use a charm to hold these zombies in place, so you can go straight to the graves they've dug, do you hear me?" Kong Xuyang ordered without looking at Yang Zhi as he held a stalk of yellow charms between his two fingers.

Yang Zhi nodded his head, but as he was about to rush out, his feet lifted, and with a glance he exclaimed, "Brother Kong, there's a zombie over there with the talisman you drew on it!"

"How is that possible, the talisman in my hand hasn't gone out yet ......" Kong Xuyang followed Yang Zhi's gaze and saw a zombie with a [Body Binding Talisman] he had drawn already attached to its forehead, fixed on a certain place and spinning around.

Next to the zombie's grave is Mu Sicheng, who is digging hard with a camera around his neck, and Bai Liu, who is half-kneeling next to him, examining the contents of the coffin.

When Kong Xuyang and the others came out and looked at them in astonishment, Mu Sicheng smiled viciously with his teeth: "What a coincidence, you've come to dig a grave in the middle of the night too?"

Bai Liu looked up at Kong Xuyang and smiled: "It's fate that we meet again, old friend."

Yang Zhi was in a cold sweat at the sight of Bai Liu's smile, which was exactly the same as the one he remembered, and he couldn't even speak properly: "Brother Kong! How did they get the charm you drew!"

"It's from the tomb." Kong Xuyang hated it with a passion and stared deadly at Bai Liu on the ground.

This was originally a trap he left behind, but he never thought it would be recycled by Bai Liu!

He had started out with the best of intentions, leaving Bai Liu to slowly torture himself to death with traps to create the show's effect and suck up Bai Liu's popularity, but things have gone so unexpectedly far that there's no need for all this nonsense.

That zombie daoist was released, his panel was sealed again and he had no power to fight back, staying until their iron death on the seventh day of the first month.

It was thought that Bai Liu would stay within the shelter of the zombie daoist, so that they could not hurt him and would have to take the decryption route to save his life.

Now that Bai Liu has come to his door without a brain, although Kong Xuyang still wants to keep the retard around for a bit longer to calm his anger, the most sensible thing to do at the moment is to -

Kong Xuyang's eyes were red and he quickly raised his hand to issue the talisman: "Kill Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng now and end the game."

Several yellow talismans with driving powers flew out from between Kong Xuyang's two fingers and were placed on the foreheads of the zombies, who stopped moving, their eyes glowing red, their fishy mouths opened wide and their fangs bared, and they turned and lunged at Bai Liu.

Mu Sicheng, crouched on the ground, was enraged and now he was not afraid.

Bai Liu stands up and sidesteps a sharp claw coming out of the side, and with a glance at the back of his eyes, he sweeps up Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi, who are digging a grave among the zombies, and quickly orders, "Avoid the claws and teeth of the zombies, there is necrotic poison."

"Go straight to Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi, they are good at making traps and attacking from a distance, they shouldn't be good at close combat."

Bai Liu raised his eyes, his gaze cold, "Steal the talisman from his hand and be careful not to touch that book of proper spells, I suspect this prop will affect your game path and identity determination."

"Zombies can't bend their legs and go from below." Bai Liu quickly reminds.

Mu Sicheng gave the OK gesture as he let out a breath and tossed the broken, sharp wooden board in his hand, his gaze sternly fixed on Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi in the darkness behind the zombies.

He crouched low, and with a flash of red light in his eyes, the shape of a monkey loomed up, and the two hands that landed seemed to change into monkey hands for a moment, but seemed to change back when he landed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Mu Sicheng scurried under the ground and into the path of Kong Xuyang and the others.

Mu Sicheng slammed his foot on the ground and braked hard, turning, jumping, wheeling the board and showing his teeth as he slammed down hard, his expression fierce and nasty, the pupils of his crimson eyes standing in a line, and a tail that seemed to be coming out behind him.

"Die for the master!"

Bai Liu had a long, snow-white bone whip in his hand at some point. He looked up at the group of zombies rushing towards him with their teeth and claws, and unhurriedly gripped the whip in his right hand, shaking it skilfully in a left and right direction.

A snow-white bolt of lightning darted at speed and opened the zombie that was rushing upright towards Bai Liu's face.

As the zombies were sent flying through the air by the whip, the momentum of the attacks on their hands and mouths had not yet been gathered and their expressions were somewhat bewildered, as if they had not yet understood what had happened to them and how they had been sent flying into the air.

[System ...... Zira ...... Tips: Player Mu Sicheng is about to open "Monster Book: Capuchin Thief" form ......]

[System Alert: Player Kong Xuyang's skill (Panel Silence) is about to expire ......]

Kong Xuyang's eyes widened in astonishment as he exclaimed, "How is that possible?!"

Equally stunned were the spectators on the sidelines.

"What's going on?!"

" Kong Xuyang's skill is not working? How is that possible?!"

Almost all the members and players on the Silence of the Lambs side rose to their feet as they stared incredulously at what was happening on the big screen, a few of them so anxious that their necks burst into blue.

One of the few spectators in the arena who remained firmly seated in their chairs with their butts on the bench was Hearts and the players around her, as well as the Reverse God and the players around him, and even Wang Shun looked on in amazement and leaned forward.

The Reverse God leaned back in his chair with his usual relaxed smile on his face, as if he had expected this step to happen.

Wang Shun was so anxious that he couldn't stop himself from asking, "Reverse God, why did Kong Xuyang's skill fail this time?"

The Reverse God looked at Wang Shun for a moment, as if he had just reacted, and then looked away for a moment: "Wasn't this a setup by Bai Liu? He didn't tell you about it?"

"No!" Wang Shun, inwardly bitter, said to himself, "President Bai, even though he discusses everything with him in advance, doesn't explain his reasons for doing it in every case!

Most of the time, Bai Liu is unable to follow his thoughts, and even when he has discussed the matter, he cannot understand the connection between it and the final outcome.

Wang Shun laughed bitterly, but still had to politely ask the Reverse God: "I have done research on all the matches Kong Xuyang could find, and this is the first time I have seen such a situation where his skills are not working, I really see what Buming President Bai has done to cause this situation. ?"

The Reverse God gave a little thought and explained in a friendly manner, "I gave Bai Liu some first-hand information on Kong Xuyang's skills, he should have started with that."

Muke couldn't resist coming over a bit as he stared at the Reverse God, "Skill?"

"Exactly." The Reverse God smiled, " Bai Liu took advantage of Kong Xuyang's skill weakness."

Qi Yifang, next to Hearts in the audience, also asked the same question.

"Skill weaknesses?" Qi Yifang was puzzled, "What kind of skill weakness can Kong Xuyang have? His skills never failed against us last year, and when our team played him, the panel went out from the beginning to the end."

Qi Yifang couldn't help but whisper: "And our team last year was still much stronger than Bai Liu's current squad, right? Kong Xuyang didn't reveal his skills and weaknesses against us, but against Bai Liu, he did, which doesn't make sense, does it?"

"And if Kong Xuyang's skills had any real weaknesses, you would have seen it last year, Queen, right? That wasn't an easy fight for us either, it was a hard one too ......"

"I do see it, but we can't take advantage of that weakness." Hearts leaned against the audience's handles with his jaw propped slightly, his eyes drooping slightly as he looked at the big screen in the middle of the pool.

Qi Yifang was stunned: "Why?"

Hearts raised his eyes and gave Qi Yifang a lazy look, "The Reverse God from the year before should have seen Kong Xuyang's weakness on the field as well, but the Reverse God still had a tough fight and ended up killing Kong Xuyang before breaking out hard."

"So it's not just us who can't exploit this weakness, no strong major guild can exploit this weakness in Kong Xuyang."

The more Qi Yifang listened, the more confused he became, his eyes full of questions, "Why?!"

Hearts replied lightly, "Because we are such a strong team, Kong Xuyang have no weaknesses against us."

"No weakness against a strong team instead?!" Wang Shun listened with a head full of questions as well, struggling to understand what Reverse God had just said to him, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, saying politely, "...... Reverse God teacher, I don't think someone like Kong Xuyang is the type to be strong when he meets a strong team."

The implication is that someone like Kong Xuyang, who is strong on the outside, should be vulnerable to strong teams, but instead has no weaknesses.

The Reverse God propped his hands together on his knees as he looked at the big screen and suddenly changed the subject, "Skills are all derivatives of desire, Wang Shun, your skills should make it easy to investigate Kong Xuyang's life, from his life, what do you think his desires are?"

Wang Shun quickly taps on his system panel and scans through Kong Xuyang's profile in a single glance.

Wang Shun's vision focuses on what he himself sums up as Kong Xuyang's core desire: "to be a man of honor, to clear the shame of the past."

The Reverse God turned his head to look at the information and was about to speak when Liu Jiayi and Muke poked their heads over from either side of Wang Shun.

"I don't feel like Kong Xuyang's core desire is so positive." Liu Jiayi starts off with a cold mockery, "The skill of panel silence is more like pulling people down than having to step up to the plate yourself."

Wang Shun is still scrolling down: "I read that Kong Xuyang usually doesn't use his skill against teams that are poor in all aspects, and only when he faces a strong team does he use the skill [Panel Silence]."

"Kong Xuyang seems to have used this skill against less than five teams so far this pre-season."

" Kong Xuyang certainly won't use [Panel Silence] against a weak team, his panel quality condition is better than many weak team players, using this skill against a weak team will pull down his advantage, locking the panel will pull Kong Xuyang and the weak team players to the same fighting level." Liu Jiayi explains in a very quick voice.

"But against a strong team the situation is the opposite. After panel silencing, Kong Xuyang can use this skill to pull a player on a strong team who is much more capable than him down to the same fighting level as him, and then use his extensive experience in no panel fighting to defeat the opponent."

Muke's eyes paused at Kong Xuyang's university experience on the profile: "...... was extremely hateful and jealous of classmates whose families were richer and more powerful than his own, and felt that if he had the same conditions as his classmates, he would not have experienced such discrimination ......"

He was quiet for a few seconds before looking to the Reverse God next to him, " Kong Xuyang's core desire is not something to get ahead, it's [injustice] right?"

The Reverse God nodded with slight appreciation, "My guess is that too."

"[Injustice]?" Wang Shun was confused, "What is this core desire?"

Muke retracted his gaze to the profile on Wang Shun's system panel and extended his index finger to tap on it twice: "I've been around a lot of people like this, a kind of perverse muqiang, who think they are very good and deserve the best things in the world, but then don't have the means to enjoy them on their own and blame society and their origins. "

"To sum it up simply, it means that Kong Xuyang feels that the world is [unfair] to him when he looks up to those who are better off than him in terms of material conditions."

The Reverse God nodded: "The skill derived from this desire is [Panel Silence], and when Kong Xuyang cleared everyone's panels, everyone's initial conditions were the same, and the [fairness] he wanted was achieved."

Muke looked up at the Reverse God: "And Kong Xuyang believes in relying on his excellent self to win with such [fairness]."

"But I'm still Buming why this skill won't work against President Bai." Wang Shun rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly as he pursued his question, "Please continue to explain this in more depth to my less-than-smart audience."

"By this point, the whole thing is pretty clear." Muke reached over to Wang Shun's panel and scratched to Fever Lamb's matchmaking sheet, "Shun, look here, as you just said, Kong Xuyang never uses skills against the weaker teams, all of them use skills against the stronger teams."

Wang Shun rubbed his chin and nodded, "That was just explained to me by the little witch."

"It's not just that." Muke shook his head slightly, "Because the fairness Kong Xuyang wanted was originally monstrous, he wanted a fairness where those who were better off than him were on the same playing field as him, those who were less well off than him were simply not in his [fairness] envelope and could only be trampled on by him, unworthy of his skills."

"But in other words." The Reverse God smiled, "One could also say that the condition for using the skill [Panel Silence] derived from Kong Xuyang's desire includes the point that he has to think his opponent is better than him."

"So his skills will never fail against strong teams like ours where Kong Xuyang is very wary, determined, even hateful."

Muke added: "But if Kong Xuyang thinks his opponent is weaker than him, his skills are likely to fail."

"Like right now."

Wang Shun was stunned and finally came to his senses, incredulous, and slowly, word by word, he sorted out the whole setup Bai Liu had set up from beginning to end.

"So President Bai from reality, to enter the Yinshan Village this game, has been in accordance with the steps of Kong Xuyang plan, resistance is not very fierce, Kong Xuyang sent speeders, also came to our side to probe President Bai information, President Bai himself The information was also given to me directly to the most negative part ......"

"Even letting himself get hurt three times in the game, putting Mu Sicheng in a life or death situation, even letting Yang Zhi eat away his and Mu Sicheng's memories at the start of the game when he knew there was something wrong with Yang Zhi all for the sake of ...... " Muke's face, which had been tense for the entire game, finally relaxed and a small, very scattered smile appeared on his face.

Muke's eyes glowed slightly as he looked at the big screen, "If I'm right, Bai Liu is doing this to maintain a [weak] stance."

"He was baiting to show Kong Xuyang weakness to seek a break in Kong Xuyang's skills."
