The woman's expression turned bitter, and she slowly began to tell what happened in this village as if she had said it many times before.
"The name of our village is Springwood Village, and the person in charge of the village is named Gao Jianli. It is said that he is Lord Soul Ancestor, who is level 49.
Although we villagers would regularly hand over some food or money as protection fees, that adult did not oppress us just because of his strength. Instead, he would try his best to protect and help us, so we also love him very much.
But starting one afternoon seven days ago, everything changed.
It is said that at that time, a Spirit Master came to see Master Gao Jianli and said that he wanted to make a deal with him. The two of them did not know what they said. That night, Master Gao Jianli began to stay at home.
Then six days ago, many villagers began to behave strangely, and we didn't take it seriously at the time, but now it seems that the villagers may have been changed by that time."
Wu Ling interrupted the woman and asked, "What are the changes? Can you tell me specifically?"
The woman nodded obediently, not upset even if she was interrupted, but in Wu Ling's eyes, it was more like accepting her fate and completely losing hope for the future.
"This story begins five days ago. On that day, half of the villagers suddenly rioted and launched an attack on the other half of the villagers who were still normal. Many villagers lost their lives in the unprepared situation.
But we survivors discovered that the apparently dead villagers joined the rioters after a while.
The villagers who came back from the dead had stiff limbs and dull eyes. No, to be precise, some of them didn't even have eyes. The way to distinguish between normal people and people who have come back from the dead is to look at their eyes.
The eyes of the resurrected villagers will be thrown out if they move violently."
As she said that, the woman shook her head to prove that she was not the resurrected person she said she was. She was even afraid that Wu Ling wouldn't understand, so she personally performed the movements of those people for Wu Ling.
As for Wu Ling, she understands the resurrection of the dead very well. Zombies are normal. Although it may be Evil Spirit Master's usual method of controlling corpses, they can control half a village at once... Someone with such strength would not attack such a small village.
After all, absorbing a strong man of the same level is much more effective than absorbing an ordinary person in this village, unless that guy is currently injured.
After giving another demonstration to Wu Ling, the woman continued, "I happened to be in the cellar, preparing to pick a pickle for dinner. Just when I was about to go up, my husband suddenly blocked the door with stones from the outside and told me not to go out.
I didn't know what was going on outside at that time. I only heard some indescribable roars and my husband's angry curses outside. Finally, with my husband's scream, the outside returned to silence.
It took a lot of effort for me to crawl out that night. All I saw was blood all over the ground.
Besides me, there were actually a few survivors, and I heard many things from them.
In the next few days, a few of us survivors hid here and there, hoping to find a way out, but there were two corpses lying at every intersection when we escaped from the village. As soon as we approached, all the surrounding villagers would rush towards us.
Including me, there were five survivors in total. We tried to leave the village through four routes: southeast, northwest, and south. As a result, every time we were about to succeed, a large group of resurrected villagers would suddenly appear, and then we would escape in embarrassment at the cost of a survivor's life.
Now, I am the only survivor left.
And there were a few Spirit Master like you, my lord, in the past few days, but all of them were killed by Gao Jianli who were in the same state as those villagers.
In fact, I went out today with the thought of dying, but I never expected to see you, sir, so I wanted to make one last move, or eat something good before I die."
As the woman explained, Wu Ling turned his head slightly and looked at the corner of the cellar. There was indeed a pile of paper balls that seemed to have been wrapped with some food.
"Is there anything else you would like to ask, sir?"
Wu Ling remained expressionless, his emotions were not moved by the woman's words at all.
"I want to know the location of Gao Jianli."
After hearing this, the woman showed an expression that was indeed true.
"Exit the cellar and turn right. After two intersections, turn left and walk three more intersections. You will find it inside the largest gate in the middle of the fourth road.
Since I already have the will to die, I can just take the adults there soon, but can you give me some food before I leave so that I can at least be a well-fed ghost when I die?"
Wu Ling glanced at her first, then took a bag of food from Storage Ring and threw it on the ground.
The woman didn't doubt that he was there, so she lowered her head and went to pick it up.
But while the woman was picking up food, Wu Ling pulled out the knife and slashed at the woman's neck!
A flash of knife light passed by, and Wu Ling's knife finally stopped three centimeters above the woman's neck.
The woman who realized it later was frightened by the sudden stabbing. She quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wu Ling, begging for mercy. "Sir, have mercy on me!"
Wu Ling put the knife back into the scabbard and waved his hand casually, "It's okay, I'm just testing you. I guess you passed, so just feel free to eat."
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
Wu Ling looked at the woman kneeling on the ground eating food, with no emotion in her eyes. Test? No, just trying to deceive.
As the saying goes, the sky has the three treasures Sun Moon stars, the earth has the three treasures water, fire and wind, and people have the three treasures spirit, energy and spirit. He asked Xiao Fen to examine the woman in front of him in the shadow, and found that she didn't have any energy at all, only a little bit of energy and spirit.
Not to mention that there were many contradictions in the words of the woman just now. Such a story would be enough to deceive an inexperienced boy. A being like Wu Ling, who has been baptized by modern poisonous chicken soup, could easily find something wrong.
Therefore, Wu Ling knew from that time that the woman in front of him was already dead, and now she was like a high-level puppet. The murderer behind the scenes used this method to confuse the eyes of Spirit Master.
And the stab he just made was just to see if the murderer behind the scenes would react.
But judging from her unpretentious kneeling just now, this puppet seems to be a little different.
"Whether it's true or not, this puppet is the only clue after all. It's best to keep her by your side first. At most, you can allocate some energy to be vigilant. And an ordinary person doesn't need much energy."
After the woman finished eating the food, Wu Ling gave some instructions to the three Xiao Lan in his mind, and then followed the woman and lurked towards Gao Jianli's residence.
