“Uh, you mean, this little… uh, adorable thing in your hand is the big boss?” Li Cancan and Sun Ning stared at the small, wobbly creature in the palm of Bai Lixin’s hand, their faces filled with confusion.
The plump and furry wolf cub was lying in Bai Lixin’s palm, constantly making “awoo awoo” sounds.
Bai Lixin: “I’m going up the mountain now. If I don’t come back tomorrow morning, say I’ve gone up the mountain.”
He thought for a moment, then took the shield from his backpack and handed it to the two of them. “Take this shield for now. It should help protect you from some damage if you encounter danger. Take care of yourselves.”
Sun Ning and Li Cancan quickly put away their puzzled expressions. Li Cancan took the shield, and both of them nodded seriously at Bai Lixin.
As Li Cancan received the shield, a system prompt rang out in her mind, [Congratulations, player, you have obtained a divine weapon x1. This is a protective type prop that can shield the player from any physical attack damage.]
Upon hearing “divine weapon,” Li Cancan’s expression instantly changed. “God Xin, this prop is…”
A divine-level prop? There were probably only a few of them in the entire game lobby, and God Xin just casually gave it to her?!
‘Wow, I’m so touched! Was this the trust of a teammate?
Wuu God Xin, rest assured, I will protect myself and take care of Sun Ning, and I’ll even shout “666” at you at a critical moment.’
“It’s okay, you keep it for now,” Bai Lixin continued, “Don’t trust anyone except yourselves while I’m gone.”
He left these words and quickly turned away, disappearing into the darkness.
He had to be fast because he noticed that the wolf cub’s body had shrunk even more compared to earlier.
If he stayed in this village with the cub, he was afraid the old gong would turn into a tiny tadpole.
Oh, so pitiful.
The wolf cub’s four legs stiffened. “Awoo awoo.”
Feeling wronged.jpg, wuuu
In the vast starry sky and under the night sky, Bai Lixin moved gracefully like a fox, swiftly navigating through the forest.
Dijia’s current situation was likely related to the village’s curse.
What was known now was:
First, certain types of people in the village would transform into a pigs.
Second, babies and even children would grow rapidly.
Bai Lixin glanced at Beast Eared Dijia in his arms.
So which category did he belong to now?
Beast Eared Dijia had mentioned that he was five hundred years old this year.
Five hundred years was considered old among humans.
So could it be that in this curse, just as there were effects for the young, there were also effects for the elderly?
For the young, they grew rapidly; for the elderly, maybe they were “rejuvenated”?
If that was the case, then in a certain sense, this village could be considered a place where wishes came true.
Children always wished to grow up quickly, while the elderly wished to return to their youth.
With this new information on the table, another point was added.
Third, the elderly would regress to youth, or possibly even become infants.
There were many traps on the mountain, so Bai Lixin had to be cautious as he ran through the forest. He had initially thought that leaving the village with the wolf cub would restore its body, but now that he had swiftly run to the mountaintop with it, there was still no change.
Could it be that once cursed, it was impossible to lift it by leaving the village?
What would it take to break this curse?
However, even though the curse hadn’t been lifted, there was still good news.
At the very least, the wolf cub’s body hadn’t continued to shrink. After entering the mountains, its body had stabilized at around one month old, and it could barely stand up and its cries had turned into soft whimpers.
In just over ten minutes, Bai Lixin had already reached the mountaintop.
It was cold on the mountain, so he took a sports jacket with a hood from his backpack and put it on. After placing the wolf cub in his hood, he stood on the mountaintop and gazed down.
It was now 8:30 in the evening, and the lights in Gentle Village below almost simultaneously went out.
Without the need for any signals, the villagers seemed to have an unspoken agreement, as if they had undergone some training.
As the lights went out, this village at the foot of the mountain instantly plunged into darkness.
Looking down from here, all that could be seen were rows of low, thatched houses.
It was so quiet that it seemed uninhabited.
Bai Lixin’s gaze shifted to the other side of the mountain.
Over there, the fog was still dense, but this time, beneath the hazy fog, there seemed to be something hidden.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in from somewhere, dispersing the fog on the other side of the mountain.
Behind the white fog, a rugged mountain path appeared.
At the end of the mountain path was a small village.
Unlike Gentle Village, this small village appeared much smaller, and due to its elevation and the fog, Bai Lixin couldn’t make out the village’s specific appearance.
—You will lose your way after entering the fog.
He remembered what Beast Eared Dijia had said, but… he had come all this way.
Bai Lixin pondered for a moment, and when he saw the dispersed fog gradually gathering again, he no longer hesitated. With a leap, he entered the fog along the rugged mountain path.
In just a moment, his figure disappeared within the thickening white fog.
…
As Bai Lixin continued on his way, the surrounding fog once again converged, and he gradually lost his sense of direction.
He could only rely on his sixth sense and the path he had noted earlier to move forward.
The temperature around him grew colder and colder. If the temperature on the other side of the mountain was like summer, then the temperature on this side of the mountain was more like deep autumn.
The wolf cub whimpered repeatedly, so Bai Lixin had no choice but to take it out of his hood and hold it in his arms again.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally felt like he had stepped onto level ground.
The moment his feet touched the ground, everything in front of him suddenly became clear.
A quaint village appeared before him.
This village was not large, with perhaps only about twenty houses.
The houses were constructed from mud and wood, forming a complete contrast to the dark surroundings.
The entire village was pitch-black, with no signs of light.
However, the absence of light here was not because the entire village was asleep, but because it had been abandoned.
This village seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Some of the original walls had collapsed, and the courtyards were filled with withered grass.
As he entered the village, something light and fluttering flew towards him. He instinctively caught it, and it turned out to be a yellow paper offering.
The wolf cub in his arms shrank its head and made two soft “awoo awoo” sounds.
Bai Lixin comforted it with a pat on the head and proceeded into the village with a flashlight in hand.
Judging by the signs of collapsed walls, this village had been abandoned for at least twenty to thirty years.
S419M: [Lord Host, I’m scared. Can you please lower your gaze? It’s too thrilling for us in the 3D front row. Right, Sister System?]
Escape System: [It’s okay, I’ve wrapped myself in my little blanket. As long as I have a blanket, no ghost can get near me. I know, this is called “blanket sealing technique” in the human world. Master Bai Lixin, keep going.]
Just as the escape system finished speaking, it suddenly screamed.
The scream was so piercing that it startled Bai Lixin.
S419M: [Sister System, why are you screaming?!]
Escape System: [I’m sorry, a mouse just ran by, and I thought it was some strange thing. It scared me. Wuuuu, it’s really terrifying. Big Brother M, please hold me.]
Bai Lixin: […]
You two are truly the disgrace of the system community!
Bai Lixin didn’t rush into a house but instead walked around the streets from end to end.
As he walked, he reached the very end of the village and saw a small square.
It was more accurate to call it a cleared flat area than a square.
On the flat ground were many scattered tables and chairs. Due to the passage of time, these tables and chairs had long been gnawed and broken by ants.
Bai Lixin’s flashlight illuminated these tables and chairs, and the flashlight flickered with light when it landed on something.
He walked over, bent down, and saw something almost buried in the soil.
He used his hands to dig it out, and soon, a piece of white porcelain came into view. The patterns on the porcelain resembled those found on certain tableware.
Tables, chairs, porcelain pieces – this place was probably hosting some kind of event at that time .
It could have been a wedding, a funeral, or perhaps a hundred day celebration.
Bai Lixin was concentrating on examining them when suddenly, a pair of red embroidered shoes appeared in front of him.
He abruptly held his breath, and even the wolf cub in his arms instinctively froze.
The embroidered shoes were wet and muddy, and a damp, red skirt enveloped the lower half of someone’s body. Drops of something were dripping from her embroidered shoes and skirt, falling onto the earth.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
In an instant, several drops of red liquid had fallen around the embroidered shoes.
Bai Lixin took a deep breath and followed the embroidered shoes upward with his gaze.
First, he saw the same dark red dress, followed by a pair of hands resembling dry wood and eagle claws.
Subsequently, he saw a red jacket with a lapel…a neck with clearly visible veins and blackened skin…
Bai Lixin’s gaze didn’t slow down, and finally, it landed on the face across from him.
It was a coal-black face that no longer bore any resemblance to a human face.
Her body seemed to have been roasted in a fire, and her skin had become charred. Her eye sockets were covered by a thick layer of soot on her pitch-black skin. Her long, black hair hung down like overgrown weeds, reaching her waist.
Because her eyes were obscured, she seemed unable to see. Her nose and ears were plugged with thick black substances.
Not only couldn’t she see, but she also couldn’t hear or speak.
She reached out her hands haphazardly, as if trying to sense the presence of a stranger.
Bai Lixin held his breath, skillfully avoiding the female ghost’s grasp.
The female ghost grew anxious.
She seemed to sense that someone had entered the village, but she couldn’t find that person.
Her fused and charred face contorted, and her throat emitted “mm” sounds as if she wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

In the live broadcast room
[Friendly reminder, you can breathe while watching this livestream video.]
[Thank you! I almost suffocated.]
[Damn, that scared me. When those red embroidered shoes appeared before Bai Lixin, I almost died on the spot.]
[I was almost scared to death when I saw the ghost’s face.]
[Is this something meant for humans to see? Even those without heart problems might get heart problems from this!]
[Um, comrades, did any of you notice that the style of the livestream suddenly changed? Why do I suddenly feel like God Xin is playing hide-and-seek with the ghost?]
[I request God Xin to be a bit more professional with his expressions. He’s really undermining this ghost’s horror atmosphere! Right now, I don’t feel scared at all; instead, I find it kind of cute. What’s going on?]
In the livestream footage, the female ghost continued to move her arms, seemingly searching for an “outsider.”
The outsider, Bai Lixin, held the wolf cub in his arms. Before him stood the uncoordinated red-clothed female ghost. He sidestepped her, moving left and right, effortlessly evading her grasp.
In the end, the ghost didn’t catch him, but he did tire her out.
The female ghost slowly lowered her hands, turned around slowly, her shoulders drooping, her head lowered, and an expression of deep disappointment on her face.
[Hahaha, this is hilarious. What’s going on? Why does this female ghost look so terrifying but have such weak combat abilities?]
[Can’t see with her eyes, can’t hear with her ears, can’t smell with her nose; she can only use her hands to tentatively search for prey, leaving only two senses intact.]
Just as a row of “hahaha” comments flashed across the screen, the two arms that were originally hanging down slowly began to rise.
Her claw-like arms moved slowly along both sides of her body, gradually reaching her ears.
[What is she doing? Is she planning to clean her ears?]
[Damn, she is indeed cleaning her ears, but don’t say it out loud; it looks nothing like that.]
[Hahaha! Female ghost: Can’t you guys give me some face?]
It seemed as though the camera was zooming in slightly to let the audience see the ghost’s comical actions better.
Just as the ghost’s hands were about to reach her ears, those two hands suddenly flicked the hair on the back of her head, revealing a terrifying face!
That face appeared in the livestream’s frame without warning, occupying the entire screen!
Her skin looked as if it had been scalded by boiling water, and was covered in ugly scars. Her eyes were round, like the eyes of evil spirits depicted in ancient drawings, with one eye larger than the other. The larger eye seemed as if it were about to fall out of its socket.
The ghost stared directly at the screen, lips curling back, and her entire mouth suddenly split into four to five terrifying sections, revealing sharp teeth.
[Aaaaah!]
[Holy shit!]
[Aaaaah, I’m scared to death, help! A ghost!]
[Oh my god, there’s even another face behind, damn it! This ghost won’t let me live!]
[Someone call the police! I’ve been hit by a drunk driver; I’m a goner!]
——————————
At the moment when the female ghost revealed the back half of her face, her body suddenly became incredibly agile.
She emitted a chilling, eerie laughter, and this laughter was strangely identical to the sound Bai Lixin had heard in the fog last time—the sound that nearly led him off the cliff.
Her mouth split open, and it divided into long, four-part sections, each filled with sharp teeth.
At the tip of her octopus-like tongue was a sharp barb. The moment her tongue extended, it pierced directly toward Bai Lixin.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Lixin leaped into the air, narrowly avoiding the tongue. While he was still suspended in mid-air, the female ghost suddenly accelerated and lunged toward him.
Baili Xin turned over in the air with the wolf cub in his arms, and landed firmly behind the female ghost.
The moment the female ghost lost track of her target at the back of her head, her body suddenly stopped.
Her hands returned to hanging at both sides of her body, and her charredface lifted, looking somewhat helpless.
Bai Lixin stared at the bewildered look on the charred face in contemplation.
Could it be that the face with the split sections only takes control when there’s a view from behind?
Bai Lixin pondered for a couple of seconds, then quickly moved backward and hid behind a large tree.
The female ghost searched for a while but couldn’t find anyone, so she stopped lingering in one place and gradually moved away.
When the female ghost had completely left, Bai Lixin stepped out from behind the tree.
S419M: [Lord Host, why didn’t you just kill it?]
Bai Lixin: [What if, and I mean what if, Pan Pan’s distress is related to this red-clothed ghost? If I kill her, do you think the task can still be completed?]
S419M: [Well, that makes sense. Lord Host, you’re so wise.]
Bai Lixin: [I’ve been wise for quite a while, I didn’t expect you to only realize it today. You don’t seem very smart, to be honest.]
S419M: […]
‘Forget it, the old gong has turned into a little brat. Someone with unfulfilled desires really has a terrible temper’ it’s better not to provoke him.
If I can’t afford to provoke, can’t I just hide?!’
“Uh, you mean, this little… uh, adorable thing in your hand is the big boss?” Li Cancan and Sun Ning stared at the small, wobbly creature in the palm of Bai Lixin’s hand, their faces filled with confusion.
The plump and furry wolf cub was lying in Bai Lixin’s palm, constantly making “awoo awoo” sounds.
