"Greed"... Could the young man in the baseball cap have started the fire?

Hiss.

The Young Woman in a Long Dress undoubtedly has a gentle and graceful appearance, speaks softly, and has a gentle temperament.

However, the other party's decisive personality made Xu Xi realize that appearances can be deceiving.

The three then exchanged the clues they had each collected.

It is now largely confirmed that the real culprit behind the deaths of more than 60 people in Ninghe Village within three years was Gao Zhuang, the village's Barefoot Doctor.

Let's leave aside the other party's purpose for now.

Regarding the Shamaness, the Young Woman in a Long Dress simply concluded, "She's probably a fraud with no real skills."

I just don't know where that so-called Mountain God came from, or where the Shamaness got it from.

At this point, everyone realized that Gao Zhuang and the Shamaness must have some kind of relationship.

One man deliberately poisoned the villagers and then claimed he was cursed to death by Awang's mother; the other man summoned some mountain Mountain God to suppress Awang's "evil" mother.

The two were clearly working together.

Although they still had some questions, they had roughly figured out most of the truth about this Dungeon, and now it was time to think about how to clear it.

The story of Awang's mother's evil revenge was fabricated; they will undoubtedly try to stop the sacrificial ceremony the day after tomorrow.

But how can they stop them? There are only a few of them; they can't possibly fight against the entire village.

Unless the fact that Gao Zhuang is the real culprit is revealed.

"We need to consider a few things. The Shamaness has a very special status in the village, and the villagers obviously trust her a lot. Even Village Chief Zhu invited us 'experts,' he needed us to disguise our identities."

The Young Woman in a Long Dress didn't approve of this idea.

"Although proving that Gao Zhuang was the one who poisoned her would break the mystique of the Shamaness, we cannot underestimate the ignorance of these villagers."

"Furthermore, we did not catch Gao Zhuang in the act of poisoning the animals; everything we know now is merely speculation."

Xu Xi understood the other party's concerns.

After all, they were outsiders who had only been there for two days, and apart from Village Chief Zhu, the villagers didn't trust them much.

If things go wrong, they might get bitten in return.

You say the well water is poisoned? I'd say you poisoned it to frame me.

The above situation could very well happen.

Even with Village Chief Zhu's guarantee, they might not be able to...

Wait a moment.

Why did they personally confront Gao Zhuang and his group?

Xu Xi suddenly discovered the blind spot.

In the previous Dungeon, he and the High-Ponytail Woman resolved the anomaly by calling a special hotline. In this Dungeon, they could simply call the police directly!

If it really was Awang's mother who did it, calling the police would be useless. But Gao Zhuang is a human being, and it was a physical murder. If the police can't handle supernatural events, surely they can handle a Barefoot Doctor and a charlatan Shamaness?

Since he can Rollback, there's no harm in giving it a try.

"We can call the police," Xu Xi said without hesitation.

The other two were stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

Yes.

Since this village has reported the incident to the police before, it means that there are police in this Dungeon.

They could easily try calling the police and providing evidence so that the officers can arrest them.

However, a new problem arose: the Dungeon did not provide them with electronic devices such as mobile phones.

"Go see Village Chief Zhu tomorrow morning," the Tall, Thin Man suddenly said.

Village Chief Zhu is the only one who knows the well water is poisonous; we can persuade him to call the police.

Xu Xi nor the Young Woman in a Long Dress had any objections to this.

Even if that doesn't work, they can use force to "borrow" the other party's phone to call the police.

After making their agreement, the three planned to return to their respective residences.

The Young Man in a Duckbill Cap disappeared after fleeing, Xu Xi didn't know if he would cause any more trouble for them.

Let them come and we'll deal with them; if we can't, we'll Rollback.

On their way back, a figure nimbly pounced on Xu Xi from the shadows.

Holy crap!!

Xu Xi initially thought that the Young Man in a Duckbill Cap had ambushed him as soon as he thought of him, but upon closer inspection, a familiar, withered body came into view.

A question mark couldn't help but pop into his head.

Shouldn't that thing be attacking the clinic's door right now?

Having probably been attacked once before, Xu Xi instinctively dodged the mummified corpse's attack this time.

Before the mummified corpse could continue its attack, the Young Woman in a Long Dress pulled out a brick from somewhere and slammed it hard against the corpse's head.

Taking advantage of the moment when the mummified corpse staggered from being slapped, the Tall, Thin Man seized the opportunity and plunged the syringe in his hand into its arm.

In less than three seconds, the body collapsed to the ground.

Before the three could even catch their breath, a ball of fire suddenly appeared not far away, standing out starkly against the dark night.

Faintly, anxious voices could be heard.

Wake up! Fire!

"Everyone, put out the fire!"

This unexpected turn of events caught the three of them somewhat off guard.

Xu Xi's heart pounded, and she stared blankly at the ever-growing flame.

How could a fire suddenly break out in the village in the middle of the night?

... Could it have been the Young Man in a Duckbill Cap who started the fire?

The fire was huge and was even spreading in this direction, seemingly out of control, and various noises became clearer.

Just as the three were about to go over to check, Xu Xi had only taken two steps when a tremendous force suddenly slammed him to the ground from behind.

A familiar, sharp pain shot through my neck.

Xu Xi struggled, feeling frustrated.

Putting aside the question of why these two mummies abandoned their blood to chase after them, all he wanted to know was why they both bit him first?

In the last second before losing consciousness, a thought suddenly flashed through Xu Xi's mind.

I almost forgot, he still has a debuff.

That damn Mountain God's favor!!

Depend on.

--

It was bitten to death again.

Xu Xi touched her neck, somewhat helplessly.

He didn't return to the moment before they were ambushed by the second mummified corpse, but rather to the time when they had just made their agreement and were preparing to return to their lodgings.

The Rollback proved that even if he managed to dodge the attack from the second mummified corpse, he wouldn't have survived.

Before being ambushed, they were heading towards the fire. After dealing with the second mummified corpse, they would definitely go back there again, so he is most likely to die there again.

... They were probably burned to death.

Xu Xi made a random guess.

Regardless, we should first find out the cause of the fire and see if it was arson.

There should still be time.

The other two were about to leave when they saw the Young Man in a Hoodie pause for a moment, then suddenly turn around and run off in one direction.

Startled, I heard the other person's cold voice ring out--

"You all come with me first."

The remaining two looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Tall, Thin Man seemed used to it and followed without much hesitation.

In his eyes, Young Man in a Hoodies always make certain judgments without warning.

In fact, the other party's judgment has never been wrong.

The Young Woman in a Long Dress hesitated for a moment before following behind.

Her thoughts were similar to those of the Tall, Thin Man.
