Chapter 36: Famine Mountain Village (1/2)
While following the leader of the village, Zong Jiu recalled the ”Tarot Guide” in his heart.
Twenty-two large Alcanaris, the most ominous one is undoubtedly the ”Tower” on the 16th.
Compared with the ”high tower” destroying everything, the destructive power of both the forward and the reverse is terrible, but the **** of death has a trace of vitality. This vitality can be maximized when the death card is reversed.
The serial number of the **** of death is 13. As we all know, 13 is a rather ominous number in the West.
In the Last Supper, Judas, the twelfth disciple of Jesus, betrayed him for thirty silver coins. In the end, **** was crucified and suffered. Therefore, the number 13 in the West has always been equivalent to bad luck and fits the meaning of death.
The ”Tarot Guide” explains in detail the difference between Reaper's upright and reversed positions.
Reaper: Failure, end.
Rebellion: abandon the past, rebirth from the ashes, live to death, miracles.
Zong Jiu's thoughts flicked for a few seconds on rebirth from the ashes, and he took the cards back casually.
At this moment, the team stopped just in time.
”Arrived.”
The leader, Qiang, stood in front of a mud house by the side of the road, ”Here is the one who has just paid for the food.”
Then he pointed at a distance, ”Those who have not paid, you live behind the tree.”
At the end of the path he pointed to, there was an old locust tree with yellowed leaves hanging on the branches, swaying with the cold wind blowing from the side.
Behind the lush branches and leaves of the locust tree, an old and gloomy earthen house stood still, and the doorway was dark, making it creepy from a distance.
The trainees were brought over in two teams, and those who had paid the rations looked at the people who did not pay the rations with pity, and felt very grateful.
Combining the previous dialogue between Wang Shou and Lao Qiang, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is definitely a problem with the broken house behind the old locust tree.
Barrage is also being discussed.
[Obviously they are all trainees who came in together, but because someone has a package in the initial setting of the ID card, and someone does not have a package, it leads to a huge difference in the opening. This really depends on the face.]
[Really look at the face +1, to be honest, I think there must be something wrong with that broken house, here must be the law of horror movies]
[Come here to buy Ding Lishou, and see who the trainees here who have not paid the food will sacrifice to the sky first]
[First exclude Zhuge's dark, secondly exclude magician, others can choose any combination]
The trainees on the other side are obviously very unbalanced, but they dare not say anything in front of the villagers holding the hoes.
It may be really bad luck. The strength of the group that has not paid the food is uneven, sparse, and occupy a large area are all newcomers. The old man is almost faulty, the highest is only Zhuge An of No. 3, and the next one is C-level, which can be described as a rookie pecking each other.
In this case, people would subconsciously want to find a backbone, so everyone couldn't stop looking at Zhuge in the same queue.
It is a pity that the latter does not move like a mountain, and is noncommittal about the current status quo, but lowers his eyebrows, as if thinking about something.
The big brother is like this, the other bunch of D-level and E-level newcomers dare not go up and disturb him.
At this time, one of the trainees finally cringed and said, ”I, shall we go to the house and take a look first?”
Although I don't know the age of this copy, a large-scale famine can occur, and it is impossible to be a modern civilized society.
It's getting late now, and I'm afraid it will be dark if it continues. Since there are no electric lights, it will be even more terrible.
A trainee immediately agreed, ”Yes, let's go and take a look, otherwise it won't be good if it gets dark.”
That being said, everyone, look at me and I look at you, but no one can take a step.
At this moment, the white-haired young man put down his arm and walked towards the intersection first.
The others' eyes lit up and immediately followed.
Although the old people didn't look very pleasing to this popular C-class, the newcomers were convinced by all of Zongjiu.
The old people have the right way and strength, and they are accustomed to steady group actions. The horror trainee is another competitive arena. A newcomer will go up and another old man will fall off. The xenophobia is very serious.
The newcomers are always a starting line, rolling and struggling in the cruel dungeon of horror, knowing how difficult it is for Zong Jiu to reach the third level with a shot like this, so he is more admired. Coupled with Zong Jiu's big show in Las Vegas, everyone knows that he won a million chips, and now even the elderly have to weigh in.
That's a full million survival points! Even if it is given to a pig, the pig can be strengthened into a steel porcupine!
Zong Jiu ignored the small tail behind him, he walked up to the old locust tree and frowned.
Someone wondered, ”Strange. When we just walked over, the bark of those trees was stripped clean, why is the bark of this tree still not eaten?”
”Because the locust tree is yin, it is also called a ghost tree, no one dares to eat it.” Zong Jiu said.
In folklore, the locust tree is a very unlucky and fierce tree. It is heavy and easy to provoke unclean things. Few people will plant it in front of the house, not to mention it is still such a big one.
”Which of you has redeemed props, please prepare, let's go in and have a look.”
The others trembled three times, looking at the dark room behind the tree, their legs were soft.
”Hurry up, just come in and take a look. What's so scary about so many people? It's getting dark soon. It's better to sleep with a house than without a house.”
Zong Jiu urged, and pretended to take out an ordinary dagger from the black cassette.
The black cassette is equivalent to a portable space, very easy to use, you can pull out ordinary items from it anytime, anywhere.
Everyone looked at his actions and thought that this dagger was an advanced prop from Las Vegas, and they also took out their own props one by one, like a big enemy.
”Boom—”
The door was in tatters and was unlocked, so it opened as soon as it was pushed.
The trainee who pushed the door was too flustered, and accidentally pushed the other half of the door to the ground, and the cold wind began to flow backwards.
Zong Jiu held the dagger in his hand, lowered his eyebrows, and headed toward the house.
This is not because he is a master of art, but because he is still holding the dementing bell on his other hand, which is not afraid.
Through the window lattices and the hole rotted out by termites, the light from outside barely shone in, making this small earthen room full of pictures.
There are not many things on display in the house. What I have to say is an empty house that has been abandoned for a long time, and the ground is full of dirt. The beams of the house were covered with moss, and a corner of the water tank placed in the corner was broken. You can only vaguely see the sewage contained in it.
This kind of house can only squint against the wall, even if it is resting. The only advantage is to avoid the autumn wind outside.
”what--”
The trainee following behind suddenly let out a short scream.
The barrage is a red exclamation mark.
[Fucking this scream really shocked me]
[Me too, called me spirit all at once...]
The person who was investigating immediately showed vigilance, turned his head with the props, and prepared for the supernatural scene.
At the corner, a fat gray shadow jumped out of the hole in the wall.
The trainee faltered, ”Yes, it's a mouse.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
With such an interruption, everyone's tension has melted a lot.
For the elderly, how to get a high evaluation in the dungeon is the goal; for the newcomers, it is good to survive.
They know that they are divided into two camps, but anyway, trainees have an iron rule that they cannot kill each other. Random tasks are not as mandatory as the main task, and it doesn't matter if they don't do it, so few people care about it.
