Chapter 167 Let's Go Kill the Evil God
Facing the villagers who had turned into demonic beings, Li Muyang, unsurprisingly, died yet another time.
Though these villagers-turned-demonic beings were weak, their numbers were overwhelming.
They surged like a tide, completely engulfing him and the Glass Immortal Maiden.
"Indeed, in this ancient grudge well, there can't possibly be any real living people!"
Li Muyang murmured in a low voice, then reloaded the game once again.
This time, he did not attack the sleeping villagers of the town but stood quietly aside with the Glass Immortal Maiden, waiting.
In the quiet town, Li Muyang and the Glass Immortal Maiden seemed to blend into the darkness, making no sound at all.
Not until the first ray of sunlight pierced through the darkness did the quiet town come back to life with some activity.
The villagers, having slept through the night, began appearing on the town's streets with pale yellow health bars appearing above their heads.
They smiled simply and conversed in gentle tones. Seeing Li Muyang and the Glass Immortal Maiden, two outsiders, the townspeople only looked curiously at them a bit more but didn't pay much attention.
The town's residents, after all, were more worldly than rural villagers and did not surround Li Muyang and the Glass Immortal Maiden.
The Glass Immortal Maiden frowned at the group of villagers, her vigilance not lessened.
Li Muyang directly released his flying sword and attacked a couple still sleeping in the house next door.
However, the same couple, who had transformed into terrifying demonic beings after being attacked in the previous save, were now oblivious to the Wheel of Annihilation as it rolled over them under the sunlight, turning them into flying flesh and blood.
"... I understand now. They are living during the day and turn into demonic beings at night."
At this moment, Li Muyang finally grasped the true nature of this world.
"But if they are killed during the day, will their bodies still turn into demonic beings at night?"
Under the surprised gaze of the Glass Immortal Maiden, Li Muyang took her and fled from the town, escaping the condemnation and pursuit of the villagers.
Then, wandering in the wilderness, waiting for darkness to fall, they returned to the town once more.
Outside the courtyard of the couple, the townspeople had dispersed, leaving only two bodies covered with white cloths lying quietly in the courtyard.
A yellow dog tied next to the bodies did not dare make a sound as it saw Li Muyang, a stranger, approaching.
In this town, all livestock was as silent as death at night, even the usually noisy poultry kept quiet.
Li Muyang stood in the shadows, watching the sunset at the edge of the sky, slowly disappearing until darkness completely engulfed the world.
Suddenly, a cold chill swept through, and the two bodies covered by white cloths in the yard slowly stood up.
But now, they had transformed into strange and terrifying demonic beings, no longer appearing human.
Under the astonished gaze of Li Muyang and the Glass Immortal Maiden, these two demonic beings, with their stiff movements, walked toward the wilderness outside the town and finally vanished into the darkness.
But the state of beings in the ancient resentment well is also a bit abstract.
During the day, they are ordinary people leading simple, kind-hearted lives.
Yet at night, they mutate into evil beings, attacking all living beings that come near.
And this group of evil beings does not realize that they are evil beings; they think they are still alive, and when they see their friends and family killed and their bodies disappearing, they even think about reporting it to the authorities.
All these, how different are they from ordinary mortals!
To Li Muyang at this moment, a group of evil beings unaware of their true nature evokes a certain inexplicable sense of black horror.
The Glass Immortal Maiden trembled slightly upon hearing Li Muyang's narration, "This world... is so horrific?!"
Having fought side by side with Li Muyang multiple times and witnessed his foretelling abilities on several occasions, the Glass Immortal Maiden had no doubt about his words.
Even though Li Muyang had shown her no evidence, she already believed him.
"This ancient resentment well is indeed the source of evil spirits and a nest of disasters..."
The Glass Immortal Maiden looked back at the small town, her eyes immensely complicated.
A group of beings, who are evil beings yet think of themselves as ordinary people leading normal lives, make this world eerily unsettling.
The Glass Immortal Maiden murmured softly, "Why would General Zhong hide in this world? Could it be that the corruption in the Tianyuan Dynasty has reached such a level that he would rather hide in this evil world than stay?"
Li Muyang narrowed his eyes, looking at the mountains ahead, "Perhaps all this can only be known after meeting General Zhong."
He now began to wonder what "Call of the Mountains" this game was all about.
And how did General Zhong enter the ancient resentment well?
Li Muyang had the blood pupil to guide him, but how did General Zhong get in?
The games provided by the system so far were all essentially about analyzing the nature of things.
To save, or to prevent some kind of impending disaster.
All previous games were like this.
The mystery of Loushan City saved the Glass Immortal Maiden, stopped Blood Demon Path from creating havoc, the deadly Little Wild Grass saved Little Wild Grass, "Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles" saved the Dragon God Immortal Maiden... so what does "Call of the Mountains" want to save or stop?
It couldn't possibly be about saving these suffering beings in the dark, could it...
It's not that Li Muyang doubts the system's capabilities, but so far, the system seems to lack the ability to massively interfere with and rewrite reality.
The system's interference in reality all depends on Li Muyang as the medium.
What Li Muyang can't do, the system can't do either.
And this time, Li Muyang, playing the constable Nameless, might have a knack for killing Evil Gods, but saving beings?
...Let's stick to discussing killing Evil Gods.
