I use deceit to create immortality

Chapter 63: Crazy progress of [Corpse Rattle]

While Jiang Ning was chatting with Grandma Nan, she learned that the other party's identity was the village banquet.

Whenever anyone in the village holds a feast, Granny Nan is invited to cook and cook.

Given the size of Annan Town, almost everyone has eaten at Granny Nan’s banquet, so it’s impossible not to know her.

The little beggar has never even heard of Granny Nan?

Then.

there is only one truth……

Ever since Granny Nan swallowed the red plum fruit that day, she completely disappeared from the village!

It’s no longer like being swallowed by a monster in the mist for the first time, and then it will continue to refresh when the next day comes.

Instead, it completely disappeared!

No wonder Jiang Ning never saw the back of Granny Nan again after that day...

At that time, Jiang Ning thought that Granny Nan was just going to the market to buy ingredients at this time.

But now that I think about it, that's not the case at all.

Moreover, it is not as simple as being unable to refresh. Even in the memories of these villagers, the existence of Granny Nan has been completely erased!
What exactly is going on?

Jiang Ning's expression changed and he could no longer care about anything else. He threw the red plum fruit back to the little beggar and turned around to leave.

…………

Pass through the northwest corner of the market town and arrive at the alley.

There are simple residential buildings here and there, with square fields built next to them, but they are overgrown with weeds, and it seems that no one has taken care of them for a long time.

Under the eaves, there were several ignorant old people sitting at the door. They were wearing sisal vests and holding bamboo fans, sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air.

In order to verify whether Granny Nan is really forgotten...

Jiang Ning stepped forward and asked one by one.

"Grandma Nan...I don't know..."

"The village banquet seems to have always been organized by Granny Hua."

"As for who Granny Nan is, in my memory, there is no such person?"

I asked several elderly people in succession and got the same answer.

If the little beggar didn’t know Granny Nan due to age, class, or intellectual problems, then after asking so many elderly people in succession, all he got was the answer that “there is no such person”…

That means that the traces of Granny Nan’s existence have indeed been eliminated by the entire village.

Moreover, in order to make up for the bug that eliminated traces, a flower mother-in-law was also created...

Jiang Ning lowered his head and pondered.

At this moment, he connected many details with the current situation in his mind.

When he first entered the village, he saw many dilapidated houses. It seemed that no one was living there, but there were still traces of the existence of buildings.

So, does it mean that these buildings were originally occupied by people, but for some reason, the traces of the owner's existence were eliminated, and therefore, even the houses they lived in became dilapidated and abandoned?
Secondly, this village has factors such as refreshing and memory erasure the next day, and will it automatically repair the memory bugs of all villagers in the village?

Is there some kind of consciousness behind it that dominates everything in this village, including formulating the rules here?
At last.

Why does this village exist?What's the state of the little mother now?And what does being able to leave the village mean to this place?
And... the treacherous monk in the depths of the wilderness seems to have a deep connection with this area, and what does he want to do? What is he coveting in this village?
Such a powerful treacherous monk would actually be afraid of Xiaoxiao...

Many mysteries surround the surroundings like the mist that falls at midnight.

The chess pieces trapped in the game are like being in a heavy fog, making it difficult to see the road ahead, and it is even more difficult to get out of the game.

After such a small talk.

Jiang Ning opened the panel and was shocked to find that the progress of [Corpse Language] had reached 99 points.

It's almost over one hundred.

Although this progress is not fast, there is no trend of slowing down.

Being in this village full of dead people is like coming to the best place to obtain [Corpse Rattles]. There is no way to increase the experience bar of [Corpse Rattles] better than talking to the dead.Jiang Ning was naturally unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity and continued to chat with the old people.

"Do you know where the meat sellers and bean curd sellers in the market town are today?"

"Hi."

Sitting at the door, fanning a bamboo fan, the old woman with almost all her teeth said in a voice like a mother duck:
"There is no harvest this year and the economy is in a recession. Who is selling anything?"

"Those who have property go to seek immortality and worship the gods, so that they can live forever."

"Besides... what can we do if we sell it for money... All the silver I earned was used to offer sacrifices to the gods and goddesses in the Lin Mansion. It's better to wear cumin to avoid being beaten like this."

Jiang Ning's mind moved and he asked tentatively: "Mei Shen?"

The old woman was silent for a moment, as if she was not willing to answer the question.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's [Corpse Language] exceeded one hundred points.

The sounds he made echoed in layers, and the words seemed to be endowed with some kind of attribute, possessing the magical power that captured people's hearts.

The old woman's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of hesitation, her expression seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, she was sluggish for a moment, and then she said vaguely:
"They all say that they have offended the Plum God, so they are punished by the gods. If they encounter misfortune, they need to offer sacrifices to the gods in order to escape from the sea of ​​suffering!"

"How to worship?"

"Go to the temple over there at the shrine and exchange the fruit with the messenger sent by the god. If you swallow it at midnight, you can become the heir of the Plum God."

Jiang Ning stopped asking questions, turned around, and looked in the direction of the shrine, his eyes slightly solemn.

Red plum fruit... This must have been banned by the government, right?
How dare you sell it openly?

He planned to go to the shrine to see what was going on there.

Looking back again, I saw that the old woman had returned to her original expression, shaking her bamboo fan and looking at the sky without saying a word.

Several other old people lowered their heads and seemed not to see Jiang Ning.

Just like what we just talked about touched some taboo...

No one wants to remember this anymore.

The atmosphere on the field was eerily quiet.

Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions from these old people. He had already asked all the questions that needed to be asked.

The content of [Corpse Talk] has risen to 110 points, and the rate of increase is much faster than before.

He realized that it was probably necessary to use [Corpse Language] to obtain key information from the dead in order to perform this sequence well.

The dead know the most secrets.

But the dead cannot speak.

However, if [Corpse Whisper] can extract information from the mouths of the dead, it would be equivalent to having a key to knowing thousands of secrets in the world.

The shrine is located at the southern entrance of the village, in a relatively remote square after passing through the pastoral path.

On the way, Jiang Ning passed Granny Nan's wooden house and took a special look.

Sure enough... all the stoves in the house had disappeared, and the house became dilapidated. It was just that I didn't pay attention carefully last time, so I didn't notice this change.

The crypt is locked, but without a key it cannot be opened.

at this time……

Jiang Ning suddenly noticed with his Yin Qi that there seemed to be something inside the cave.

He walked over slowly, a yin energy flowing in his palm, seeping into the copper lock.

With a click, the lock cylinder disconnected, and the opening and closing part of the copper lock fell off.

When Jiang Ning slowly opened the iron plate, his eyes suddenly froze.

There were pieces of bright red meat inside, just like Granny Nan went to the vegetable market as usual, purchased ingredients, and stored them.
