Chapter 1720: Choice

But until the sharp blade cut through the flesh, Old Man Yao did not change his words. Bright red blood flowed out, making Old Man Yao cry for father and mother in pain.

He opened the wound and looked inside, but still found no problem. Wu's eyes became sharper and sharper. Just when he was about to continue cutting, old man Yao suddenly shouted: "Kill me, kill me and you won't be able to survive!" You smashed Mahakala’s altar, Mahakala will not let you go!”

Tang Qisheng's anger was still lingering, "Dahkala has been slaughtered by us, old man, give up on this idea!"

"Fart! Mahakala is such a god, how can you and others compete with him?" Old man Yao knew that this was his last chance to save his life, and shouted loudly: "And counting the time, it is not the time for Mahakala to arrive at all. , you... if you let me go, maybe everyone can survive."

"Didn't you see the dark sky just now?" Jiang Cheng realized something was wrong again. The sky had turned completely dark just now. Old Man Yao would not have noticed it if he was in the village.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If Mahakala knew that you smashed its altar, would you still be alive if it came?" His life was in his hands, and it didn't look like old man Yao was telling lies.

As old man Yao was thrown to the ground, the hunchbacked old woman also broke away from Zhu Jie. The two of them held hands and leaned on each other, looking very pitiful.

The weirdness of this world is obvious. Everything that happened before was like a dream, but the injuries on everyone's bodies and the uncontrolled heart-eating demons have really disappeared, and no matter how many things are hidden in it, there are One thing is certain, this mission is not over yet.

"Outlander, make a decision quickly! When the Great Dark comes, all of us will die!" Old man Yao said in a trembling voice, realizing that Jiang Cheng was the one who could make the decision.

"What can you do?" Jiang Cheng asked bluntly.

"You...you have to promise to let me and my aunt go first."

Old Man Yao's last stubbornness was immediately resolved the moment he raised the knife. He explained with a sad face: "I don't want to escape, you really need to let us go. A pair of boys and girls can't protect people like us. Once they are killed by the Great Black Sky If you find out, we will all die."

Unexpectedly, this proposal was directly rejected by Jiang Cheng, "No, you must stay and find other ways."

"Then there's nothing we can do. Let's just wait and die together." Old man Yao broke the pot and threw it.

Turning his head, Jiang Cheng looked at Wu and said in a very calm tone: "These two people are useless. Cut off their hands and feet and throw them next to the two paper figures behind the door."

After hearing the words, he walked towards Old Man Yao and the two of them. His expressionless face scared Old Man Yao and kept begging for mercy, "Okay... my dear man, please forgive me! I have a way, there is another way! There are still two pieces of paper in my old house." People, bring those two here, maybe... maybe they can be useful!"

The next second, Old Man Yao saw a horrifying scene. The young man in black holding a knife swayed and disappeared like a puff of smoke. After a moment, he dragged two paper figures out of the door. Coming in, it was the paper man he placed in the old house halfway up the mountain.

"That house is fine, there is no altar, there is nothing." Without leaving the paper figures, Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie arranged the four paper figures together neatly behind the door.

Old man Yao and his hunchbacked aunt did not dare to delay. They quickly fetched tools and painted on the paper figures. Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie were watching from the side.

The remaining people retreated to the room, and after thinking about it, Jiang Cheng had a terrible guess in his mind. Could it be that all this was planned? It was true that Dr. Zhou and others were night watchmen, but they were just pawns. , these people dragged them here at the cost of their own lives, and then made them think they had seen through the other party's conspiracy, and then guided them step by step to destroy the altar in the backyard. Little did they know that destroying the altar would lead to the real Mahakala. The premise is that... that altar is the key!

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Jiang Cheng was at least 70% certain that they had been plotted against. If he thought about it in this direction, the old man Yao and his wife outside were probably also pretending to be night watchmen. They were at the last moment of the mission. Ring, drag them here, waiting for the arrival of Mahakala.

But this doesn’t make sense. According to Jiang Cheng’s understanding of previous missions, Old Yao and his wife are the only two living people in the village. They should be characters that originally existed in the mission world. The purpose of such characters’ existence is to provide clues. If they don't care about their positions, how can they get involved with the Night Watch.

His thoughts were getting more and more confusing, but Jiang Cheng knew that he had touched the core of the problem, and how to deal with Mr. Yao and his wife next became a thorny problem.

Soon Zhu Jie ran back and told everyone that the four paper figures had been dealt with. He asked everyone what to do with the old couple next, whether to lock them up first or to try them again.

While Jiang Cheng was struggling, Yao Shunyu stood up staggeringly. He was seriously injured, his scalp and half of his face were ruined, and there were still residues of medicinal herbs on them, "You guys chat first, I'll go and examine it." In the first trial, I have a way to get those two old guys to tell the truth."

Yao Shunyu, who walked out alone, wandered to the old man Yao, put his arm around his shoulder with one hand, and dragged the hunchbacked old lady with the other hand, leading them to the backyard, "Tang Qisheng, you go back first, I have Ask them alone." Yao Shunyu turned around and said to Tang Qisheng naturally.

Yao Shunyu's terrifying appearance and his temperament made Old Yao and his wife shudder, "Little...little brother, you can't harm us, we...we are kind to you, and I will treat the wound on your head for you. Yes, I pounded the herbs myself."

"I know, haha, we all know." Yao Shunyu didn't even look at the old couple and continued to lead them to a more remote place. There was a blind spot next to the woodshed and it was very dark.

Old Man Yao was ready to break free and run back, but Yao Shunyu's hands on his shoulders were like iron pincers. Who knows where this man with half a breath left could get such strength.

Just when he was about to turn into the darkness, a series of footsteps sounded behind him. He turned his head to face Jiangcheng's face. Yao, Shunyu and Yu frowned fiercely, "Go back, this is none of your business."

Ignoring Yao and Shun Yu's threats, Jiang Cheng approached him, reached out and pulled out a rusty knife from his waist, then handed him the rope in his hand, "Tie the person up and throw him in the yard."

Yao Shunyu's eyes were filled with fierceness, "Why are you so crazy? What if they are night watchmen? Can't you understand such a simple question?"

"I doubt it too, but if they are really clues, don't you know what will happen if you kill them?" Jiang Cheng asked back.

"That's also my business and has nothing to do with you! Your mission is to lead everyone out! Jiang Cheng, this is what you should do! I bear my own life!" Yao Shunyu was irritated and stared at him with his eyes. Jiang Cheng, "Jiang Cheng, look at me, look at me like this. The road ahead is still long, there is still Mahakala, and there is the old president. My body will definitely not be able to hold on anymore. I can't get out." Yes, but you can!”

"Even if these two people are clues, it's useless now. Killing them will only mean that I will be backlashed. But once they become night watchmen, things will be in trouble!"

"If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos!" Yao Shunyu's eyes changed, and he hit Old Man Yao hard on the heart with his elbow.
