The village chief looked at Gu Wuji, and was simply regretful for not having killed him earlier. He had formerly been concerned on what nuisance Gu Wuji planned to toss out, and such a huge nuisance had really happened now. The village chief said in a very cold tone, “You…… quickly change with that young lady now, while everything is still early.”
“Village chief, do you have any complaints about me?” Gu Wuji put away the pocket watch he had just taken out. Although this pocket watch had received several slight cracks due to having resisted the attacks of the mountain god before, but it was still good enough to deal with these few puppets.
Gu Wuji also felt a bit distressed. After all, this item was not simply an item for him. After getting out from this instance, he will definitely find a way to repair this pocket watch.
“Do I have any complaints about you? You’ve destroyed the ceremony of our village. So it would only be natural for me to have a lot of complaints towards you.”
Gu Wuji stated: “Am I not a very suitable candidate that meets your requirement? Do you think I’m not good-looking enough to deserve the mountain god? Who knows? He might actually be very satisfied with me.”
Village chief: “……”
“But, there’s no need to think about it anymore. This ceremony will not longer continue.” Gu Wuji blandly stated: “What I’m going to do now is to expose your true face before everyone.”
The villagers looked at the situation before them in shock. They completely didn’t expect that things would develop to this step.
The players held their breaths to listen to Gu Wuji’s upcoming words, as they still truly didn’t know about what the actual truth is.
“What did you say?” The village chief’s expression cooled, his expression became so unsightly that it no longer resemble that of a living person at all, “You, an outsider, destroyed the ceremony of our village, but I won’t quibble with you if you step down now.”
“Your son had originally died in that accident. But you, the village chief, couldn’t accept that. So you forcibly held a ceremony that looked like a ghost marriage to the outsiders.” Gu Wuji slowly made his way over, while saying: “In reality, what you want to do, is to use the power of the mountain god to do something after having sacrificed that girl. My guess is, you probably want to revive your son.”
After all, although this village seemed to look very normal now. But according to the brief introduction given, this village used to have various methods to communicate with supernatural beings, on top of this being a supernatural instance. So the matter of the village chief in possessing this kind of skill would’ve also been very normal.
“But that ceremony wasn’t completely successful. On the contrary, it caused the mountain god to go out of control due to the grievance of the murdered girl…… Fortunately, because of the effect of this ceremony, the village chief was able to form a temporary connection with that mountain god, and caused the other to partly listen to your command. But in order to maintain such connection, the ceremony needs to be held constantly.”
“Moreover, I believe, that this connection isn’t very strong as well, and also has quite a lot of restrictions. So you, the village chief need to frequently control the other party through some other means.” Gu Wuji said: “If this were not the case, then we, the outsiders would have already been dead, right?”
He had also remembered, during the time he was hiding inside that closet, although the surroundings were completely dark, but on that stone, in which that distorted black hand extended from, appeared a vaguely visible face…… which was that of the village chief’s face.
The village chief’s expression had already been distorted after having heard what Gu Wuji had said, “It seems that you really were there during Big Zhu’s death before, and have seen it all.”
“In regards to those ghost brides, they had previously been sealed away by you, with the intention of placing them in your control someday. Moreover, their grievances are also the best sustenance to increase the mountain god’s strength. But who would have known that Ah’ Ying would’ve accidentally released those ghosts? Thereby posing a huge threat to you, prompting you to set up various arrangements in the village, in order to prevent them from carrying out their revenge.”
“You’re truly correct.” No longer wanting to cover it up, the village chief unexpectedly admitted to all of it with a sneer, “But I’m not troubled over those female ghosts at all. It’s not as if I can’t do anything about them. I simply didn’t have so much time to spare to deal with them before, that’s all…… But after so many years, I now have a very deep connection with the mountain god. So long as this ceremony succeeds, none of those threats will remain!”
Having heard the village chief’s words, the players below felt a burst of chill, having never expected him to just admit it like this. For the inside story to be directly exposed like this, does this mean that he isn’t afraid to let others know this at all?
Although the villagers already knew that this ceremony would sacrifice the life of the offered bride, but they never thought that all of this was actually planned by the village chief. Various kind of noises were heard all over the area for a while, some of them even tried to escape. But even if they ran out, they would still lose their way in the mist, and soon return to this place.
“But your guess was off by one thing. From the very beginning, I didn’t have any intention to resurrect that disappointing son. He’s simply a stain in my life. I originally held that ceremony in order to control the mountain god, and he, who is related through blood with me, is the best sacrifice, and sure enough, the ceremony was very successful. It formed a connection between me and the mountain god…… this can also be regarded as his bit of usefulness.” The village chief coldly revealed with a somewhat disdainful gaze, “As long as this continues, I will be able to live forever. Who would still want to resurrect that waste?”
The complexion of the players changed after hearing this, even though they knew that the village chief was abnormal, but they never expected him to kill his own son for this kind of purpose. He truly is a person worst than a beast.
“So to say, I can now be regarded as the mountain god, the being that controls this place.” The village chief sneered, “Even if you have some means, you’re still nothing more than ordinary people. Let me tell you, after the end of this ceremony, these people will not even remember what’s happening now.”
The villagers shuddered after hearing this, with a look of fear.
