DSF Chapter 23

 "Brother, what should we do now?"

"That's right, brother, everything outside is full of corpse poison, and our current insect repellent powder and tobacco are simply not enough."

In such a half-sized room, the remaining villagers huddled together noisily and talked at random.

"I told you not to move the coffin down the cliff a long time ago. It was something our ancestors put on it. It's fine now. The insects have all escaped."

"That's what you said. Before Lao Liu died, he didn't ask anyone to look at it. He said that unless the formation above was removed, the tomb door would never be opened. Since everyone wants treasure, why should he be so absolute?"

"If you put it this way, is life more important or money? Who doesn't want money, but the most important thing is to ensure the safety of everyone in the village?"

"Stop arguing!"

The leader had a gloomy face and slammed the table, and the earthen house suddenly became quiet.

"There are so many corpse Gus outside right now? You try to take a step outside, you will definitely die!"

Only the people in the village know how terrible the poisonous insects are. As long as they get a little bit of them, they will quickly burrow into the skin and flesh of the parasite and swim all over the body along the blood vessels.

"But, my mother-in-law and children are still at home!"

Several villagers stood by the window, listening to the buzzing of insects outside, looking anxious.

The leader pulled up a chair and said, "Have you ever thought about why the ancient tribe was lost? Our village was so powerful back then, and every generation of goddesses had boundless power. How could it suddenly start to lose all power from a certain generation?"

"Lao Liu had a chat with me before the accident. He speculated that the ancient tribe may have encountered an accident, perhaps an irresistible natural disaster, or other unavoidable circumstances, which led to the decline of many inheritances. And these things are very It's possible that it was hidden in the tomb."

"It's not natural for us to go to the tomb and retrieve our ancestors' belongings. When the village held a meeting, none of you disagreed. Now you are fighting among yourself when something happens. What kind of brothers are you!"

The words were loud and clear, and the room quickly fell into silence.

"Besides, why are you so anxious? The goddess is still outside. She will definitely come out to find someone if she finds out something is wrong."

Indeed, there are goddesses.

As long as the goddess gets here in time and everyone gets a little bit of her blood, they won't have to worry about the corpse poison.

"If you are in such a hurry, you might as well quickly find a way to block all the cracks in the door and all the windows."

After speaking, the leader stopped talking and directed them to close the doors and windows.

The villagers finally felt at ease.

However, the number of insects outside is not decreasing at all.

Just as he was speaking, several more came out from under the crack in the loess door. There are more bugs following the smell of flesh and blood, breaking through the soil, trying to get in.

"Spread the insect repellent powder on the ground!"

Fortunately, people in the village have the habit of carrying insect repellent powder with them and preparing medicine in the house, which temporarily curbed the spread of insects.

But outside, there was still a steady stream of corpse Gu crashing towards the door, one after another, green juice spilled all over the floor, and they would not die, as if there was no end.

"Damn it, how come there are so many bugs all of a sudden?"

More than that, it was almost like locusts crossing the border.

Even if the hanging coffin was accidentally opened two days ago, it would not have multiplied to this extent in a short period of time.

The villagers blocked the door and prayed in their hearts that the goddess would come quickly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Among the sounds of insects, this sound is undoubtedly quite exciting.

"It's the goddess!" "The goddess is here!"

"Quick! Go open the door!"

Without any instructions from the leader, the villagers rushed over with joy on their faces and hurriedly opened the door bolts.

However, to their surprise, the person standing outside was not the girl with the golden phoenix on her head, but the pale and shaky Master Wang.

"Why is it you? Unlucky!"

The face of the villager who opened the door changed and he was about to close the door, but he didn't want the person outside to stumble.

"Help me, my stomach hurts so much."

Master Wang held his belly, his clothes were bulging as high as a ten-month pregnant woman, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, unable to open his mouth, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

The next second, his belly swelled up like sunflower seeds, with pustules bulging out.

White bugs emerged from the pustules one after another, flooding Master Wang like a tide in a short period of time. Their mouthparts were buzzing as they left the hotbed of their birth and swam crazily toward people.

More and more villagers fell to the ground.

In a panic, the goddess finally ran over with her skirt in hand.

"Why did you come here!"

The leader saw it and pulled her over with red eyes.

There were insects everywhere in his field of vision. He could only retreat while slicing her wrist with a knife. Scarlet blood gushes out like a gush and drips onto the ground.

"Quick! Come closer!"

The moment the goddess's wrist was scratched, all the surrounding Gu insects came over following the smell of blood, and the villagers had expressions of surprise on their faces.

However, what no one expected was that these corpse Gu did not stop for a moment after surrounding them. Instead, they went crazy and followed the blood into the hideous wound.

"what happened?"

"No! How is it possible! How can the blood of the goddess be useless?!"

The ten-year-old girl screamed, the flesh on her arms swelled convulsively, and gradually became silent.

The leader looked at all this blankly, suddenly threw away the knife, knelt on the ground and cried loudly

Almost at the same time, Zong Qi received a system message.

[Actor 'Anna' has been deeply involved in the play]

Zong Qi didn't know what it meant to be deeply involved in the play, but he clearly saw that the moment the repairman pushed Anna down, not only Anna's performance value soared to a staggering value, but even the repairman's performance value suddenly increased. It has jumped to more than 70%.

If it were another senior actor, he might have noticed the hints on the character card. But Anna is just a new actor, not to mention that the repairman also acted as their guide during the filming.

This is completely normal for actors. If you don't do it for yourself, heaven will punish you. When the secret of an actor's character card involves the interests of other people, the first priority is of course to ensure his own performance and survival.

Humans are not inherently a highly moral species, and the repairman thinks that he is not the type who insists on sacrificing himself for others even though there is a shortcut ahead of him.

After pushing Ana down, he ran away without much delay. The latter was left alone and rushed to the wellhead. Just as he was about to go down, he watched as the number of surviving actors on his pupils decreased by one.

Anna is dead.

Zong Qi clenched his fists and told himself to calm down.

Now is not the time to use reshoot permissions.

There are so many Gu insects outside. According to the leader, someone must be parasitized by the mother Gu. According to the current situation, Master Wang is the most likely person to be parasitized. If it happens again, he must be the first to stop this thing. . But the information he currently has is too little.

If you don’t know anything, you can’t avoid risks even if you jump back in time.

Nowadays, the whole village is full of Gu insects. Although the number is not large, their reproduction ability is extremely strong. As long as there is one, it can kill all the others. They didn't know whether they were afraid of the aura of the black-haired young man or the pair of golden phoenixes in his pockets, so they all flew around him.

Zong Qi's primary yin and yang eyes can see the black air constantly coming out from under the earth. It is this yin energy that provides the zombies with energy like a perpetual motion machine.

Far away, a huge room suddenly caught fire. The fire was so strong that it even ignited the surrounding houses. When the wind blew, the poisonous smoke from the corpse Gu spread everywhere.

The villagers who had just ran in ran out holding torches and retreated towards the outside of the village.

More people were covered in flames. While the insects were burned to death, they themselves were rolling on the ground in pain. After a while, they burned into fireballs, and the sky was filled with painful howls.

"Ahhhhh, don't come here, don't come here, damn it!"

"You are the ones who brought the mother Gu!"

The villagers implanted by the corpse Gu had hallucinations. Zong Qi rushed over to help, but they fell to their knees one after another, looking panicked and their pupils turned white, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying, and they strangled them tightly. own neck.

"It's all hair! It's all hair, it's ghost! The ghost is looking for our lives!"

"I don't know, I don't know where your child is!"

"Where is it?" Zong Qi's heart skipped a beat and he looked in the direction where the villagers were looking.

At some point, the mouth of the well that had been dry for a long time suddenly became wet, and a piece of soaked hair lay silently on it.

At the same time, the black smoke rising from the bottom of the well became more and more obvious. Where they passed over, swarms of insects laid eggs on the corpses, and corpse Gus were born one after another.

The earth shook, and the loess gradually cracked from the bottom of the well. The scene was like purgatory.

A pale hand gently grasped the edge of the well.

The sharp sobs faintly echoed in everyone's ears.

“Give me back my baby.”

[Countdown to the end of the third act: 7 minutes]

The last seven minutes, as long as you survive these seven minutes, you can survive!

Huang Mao and Long Aotian gritted their teeth and pressed against the door.

The sounds outside were from the raging fire to the broken beams of the house, the commotion, the crying and howling, which made people feel terrified.

Now the two of them thanked Zong Qi from the bottom of their hearts.

The golden phoenix he left behind before leaving caused the Gu insects to avoid the place one after another. Even if some came in, they would only stay one meter away from the two of them and did not pounce directly.

Long Aotian's teeth were chattering: "Can we go out?"

"It's best not to." Huang Mao closed his eyes, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.

The last seven minutes seem short, but when they are really put into this scene, every second is as long as a year.

If the deduction value is enough, Huang Mao doesn't need to worry so much.

The scary thing is that both of their current deduction values ​​are below 70%. Huang Mao completed his character's secret and was stuck at 68%, while Long Aotian was only at 50%.

Huang Mao had read the analysis of the big guys on the actor forum before. If the third act does not reach the performance value, the actors will usually start in the order with the lowest performance value, and die one after another.

This is equivalent to drawing a line under the exam. Since this line is drawn, if they fail, they will fail.

If you're lucky, you might be able to wait until the end of the shoot. After all, his performance is not much different, but Long Aotian probably really has to answer here.

Normally, Huang Mao would have given him a few words of advice, but unfortunately now he was too busy taking care of himself to take the time to talk.

Despair enveloped the dark earth house.

Just as the two of them were counting down, with five minutes left, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Long Aotian was overjoyed and was about to get up, but was suddenly pulled back by Huang Mao.

He pointed to the window sill outside, looking horrified.

There was no shadow there, but a woman's erratic voice came from close range.

"give me back"

When they looked at each other, they could see the undisguised horror in each other's eyes.

At the same time, all the cracks in the house turned a dry black color.

Just when Huang Mao gritted his teeth and was debating fiercely in his mind whether he should take the golden phoenix, push open the door and rush out, so as to get rid of the dragster Long Aotian——

The next second, the system prompt came quietly.

[The director has enabled reshooting permission, but time has been paused]
