Jiang Ying never thought that she would die so suddenly.

The moment his consciousness disappeared, he saw the boy's bewildered face showing a frail and helpless expression.Tears flickered faintly in those dark and agile eyes.

The only thing that Jiang Ying is fortunate about is that, fortunately, he shared the information with the other two players before he died, giving herself a chance to be resurrected.

He also explained the situation in time and comforted his adopted child.

I hope that his current 'death' will not become a shadow of the boy's childhood.

The darkness invaded Jiang Ying's consciousness, making his brain more and more chaotic.

He only felt a sudden chill on his neck.Immediately, his body no longer felt pain, and all sensations disappeared.

Jiang Ying stopped thinking and lost her perception of the outside world, leaving only a very strong sense of falling.

It was as if his soul had left his body and was falling at an extremely fast speed.Fall into another world.

I don't know how long this feeling lasted, and Jiang Ying's consciousness suddenly returned at a certain moment.

Then vision, hearing, touch and other senses began to gradually recover.

Jiang Ying smelled a strong smell of blood and heard strange roars.

He was at a loss for a long time, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be dead.

Jiang Ying struggled to open her eyes, and in front of her eyes was a pale, unidentified object.Some are like walls, and some are like human skin.

He tried to move his arms, but he seemed to be stuffed into a small bag, and he could only curl up and shake his limbs slightly.

After a while, Jiang Ying began to think about the current situation.

I don't know what happened to the character he played due to the changes in the past.The people who beat him obviously wanted to torture him to death, and they were very ruthless.

He suffered multiple blows to the head, his internal organs were broken and bleeding, and his ribs were broken.There is also a strong suffocation feeling from time to time, as if someone repeatedly pressed his head into the water.

It seemed that someone was still ripping his clothes and trying to do that to him.In the end, for some reason, gave up on that idea.

Because she has worked in a public security company all year round, injuries are commonplace. Jiang Ying quickly broke free from negative emotions and began to calmly examine the situation in front of her.

He can be sure that he must have died terribly just now, and there is no possibility of surviving.

So what's going on with him now, could he be resurrected so soon?

Jiang Ying was just about to lament the speed of the other two players, but soon found that there seemed to be a big discrepancy between things and her own imagination.

If it was a past player who changed the timeline, choosing a direction in their favour.Then he should appear in the small shop after his resurrection, instead of being stuffed into a sack made of human skin.

This is the game's rest area for temporarily dead players?

Or is there actually two plot lines in the game, one is the story line of the underworld, and the other is the story line of the underworld.

Jiang Ying didn't know what was going on, she didn't dare to speak out at will, for fear of attracting unknown dangers.

Holding her breath, she listened intently to the movement outside, and after confirming that the surroundings were temporarily safe, Jiang Ying shook her body slightly and began to check her own condition.

Those hideous wounds still remained on his body, but they no longer hurt.

Jiang Ying raised her hand to stroke her neck, and felt a deep scar.

It felt like just one more knife would cut off his head.

Also appearing here with him, and the items on his body.

Miaomiao Gun and Laolo Bell are still in his pocket, and his mobile phone is also in the leather bag, so he can reach it easily.

Jiang Ying fumbled to pick up the phone and found that there were more than ten missed calls.

On the Alliance Hall app, small red dots appeared one after another.As soon as he clicked in, he saw a series of private messages.

Xia Xia: "Brother Ying, are you there, can you see my message!"

Xia Xia: "Why am I the only one left on the nearby channel! Brother Ying, how are you and Xiao Qin? Are you injured?"

Xia Xia: "Help, where the hell is this!!!"

Jiang Ying: ...?

After reading Xia Shining's private message, Jiang Ying cut out the friend interface and opened nearby channels.

It could be seen that Xia Shining was in a panic, she swiped dozens of messages in the channel by herself.

And at the end of the message, there is a line of small characters that comes with the system.

"Current number of people online: 2"

Jiang Ying raised her eyebrows in surprise.

After thinking for a while, he sent a private message to Xia Shining.

A: "Where are you now, what's going on over there?"

As soon as he sent the message here, a crying face came back in seconds.

Xia Xia: "Brother Ying, Brother Ying! I miss you so much!"

Xia Xia: "You don't know how miserable I am. I was making mashed potatoes for Smelly Flower at home when someone hit my head hard. I fell to the ground with a slap and was killed by a group of invisible peopleThey kicked me, and they slapped me several times!."

Xia Xia: "Then I don't know what they did. My stomach suddenly became very big, like a pregnant woman in labor, and there was still something moving inside. I shot around, but I couldn't hit anyone at all."

Xia Xia: "In the end, it seemed that someone buried me in the soil. I felt that there was dirt in my mouth, and my chest was very uncomfortable, and it was difficult to breathe. I thought I should have been buried alive at that time, but for some reason, I suddenlyalive."

Jiang Ying frowned slightly, lowered her head and quickly replied: "My situation is similar to yours, but my stomach hasn't gotten bigger."

Xia Xia: "Brother Ying, were you buried alive too?"

A: "No, it's beheading."

Xia Xia: "Oh my God Wait, something happened to both of us, is Xiao Qin okay? He's only four years old and still a child. You can't hit him like that, it hurts too much."

When Qin Huo was mentioned, the suspicion that Jiang Ying had kept suppressed in her heart resurfaced again.

After regaining consciousness, Jiang Ying kept looking around while thinking, trying to find Qin Huo's shadow.

The boy was not by his side, did not come into this world with him.

This is nothing more than two possibilities.

The first type is that the player in the past affects the timeline, indirectly causing the death of the character he plays, but it does not affect Xiao Chunhua.

Xiao Chunhua is still alive and well, and like the original plot, she gave birth to her son Xiao Bao.

This could lead to another change.

Originally, 'Jiang Ying' was not dead, and had been living with Xiao Chunhua's mother and son.

With 'Jiang Ying' at home to take care of the young Xiao Bao, Xiao Chunhua will go out to take risks with confidence, collect evidence with the female reporter, and try to pass on the anomaly in Deaf Village.

It can be seen from the diary that Xiao Chunhua, who has lived in Deaf Village for six or seven years, made up her mind to fight to the death for two main reasons.

One is to give his son Xiao Bao a better future, and the other is to send 'Jiang Ying' away.

'Jiang Ying' was trapped in the deaf village because she helped Xiao Chunhua.As grateful as Xiao Chunhua is to 'Jiang Ying', she feels guilty.

But if "Jiang Ying" died early and did not live to the day when the female reporter contacted Xiao Chunhua in 1040, Xiao Chunhua would probably make a completely different choice from the original plot.

Having experienced the tragic death of a friend, the young child cannot be left alone.

The disheartened and battered Xiao Chunhua may give up fighting the evil together with the female reporter.God, reveal the secrets of the deaf village.

After the timeline is changed, Xiao Chunhua will no longer disappear.

In addition, there were no scars on Qin Huo's body just now, which means that only 'Jiang Ying' was beaten in the past, and Xiao Chunhua's mother and son were not around.

The change in the timeline did not result in the deaths of the two of them.

So now Qin Huo should be in the small shop, staring at Xiao Chunhua, wondering whether to call her mother.

The premise of the first conjecture is that the character played by Qin Huo is Xiao Chunhua's son Xiao Bao.

Another possibility is that Qin Huo didn't actually play any role in the game.

Jiang Ying discovered very early on that the young Jin Da he adopted was a child.Legs, neither player nor npc.

Qin Huo Mingming didn't receive the game notification, but he could go in and out of the dungeon with him. He was a special existence wandering between dungeons.

Because Jiang Ying brought a child, the game arranged for Jiang Ying to be a widow in order to make Qin Huo appear unobtrusive.

At the same time, modify the memory of the npc so that they can accept Qin Huo's appearance well.

Qin Huo is not a player. Unlike Jiang Ying, he does not need to play the role of Xiao Chunhua's son Xiao Bao.

He is not a character in the dungeon, so no matter what happens to the timeline in the dungeon, it will not affect him.

Then Qin Huo should still be in the small shop, staring at Jiang Ying's body in a daze.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ying sighed silently.

No matter what secrets are hidden in Qin Huo, he is a four-year-old child after all.

Jiang Ying was really worried about leaving him alone in the small shop.

He hoped that his first guess was right, so that after he disappeared, at least there would be Xiao Chunhua to accompany the boy.

Imagining the boy crying in a daze, Jiang Ying lowered her eyelids and bit her lower lip unconsciously.

The long silence on his side seemed to have aroused Xia Shining's uneasiness, and her private messages came out one after another.

Xia Xia: "Brother Ying, why don't you speak?"

Xia Xia: "Did something happen to you? Don't scare me, Brother Ying!"

A series of vibrations from the phone brought Jiang Ying back from her thoughts.

He held the unlit cigarette in his mouth, smelled the familiar smell of tobacco, and regained his composure.

A: "I am now in a human leather bag. The bag is opaque and I can't see the surrounding things. Where are you?"

Xia Xia: "I'm the same as Brother Ying. The touch, color, and temperature of this bag are exactly the same as the smelly flowers I adopted."

A: "?"

A: "We are in the body of Smelly Flower?"

Xia Xia: "I'm not sure either."

Jiang Ying frowned.

He pulled out the Meow Meow gun, intending to make a hole in the human leather bag in front of him to see what was going on outside.

But consider that it can be dangerous to act rashly.

Coupled with the fact that the human skin bag is suspected to be a stinky flower, and the stinky flower seems to be the victim of being tricked into the deaf village, Jiang Ying hesitated for a few seconds, and finally decided to wait.

After telling Xia Shining the speculation about the timeline and what happened before, Jiang Ying expressed her thoughts.

"For a while, I couldn't contact you. There was one less person on the nearby channel, and you were probably 'dead' at that time, not in the world I was in."

A: "After I died too, I regained contact with you. There are only two of us in the nearby channel. This means that after the player dies, he should enter another world. Only players in the same world can communicate with each other."

A: "This game copy may be divided into two lines, or it may be the outside world. The living players are in the outside world, and the dead players are in the inside world."

A: "This reduces the difficulty of the game. While other players are resurrecting the dead player, the dead player can continue to collect relevant clues in another plot line. After being resurrected, the two sides will integrate information."

Xia Shining sent a confused expression.

Jiang Ying was about to explain when a message popped up on her phone

Xia Xia: "Brother Ying, did you hear the footsteps?"

Jiang Ying didn't hear anything, but he quickly turned off the vibration mode of the phone, and listened carefully to the movement around him.

Xia Xia: "Oh my god, footsteps are coming my way!"

A: "Don't make a sound, don't move."

The situation over there should be very tense, Xia Xia didn't reply.

At the same time, Jiang Ying also faintly heard a slow and heavy footstep.

It seemed like a giant.

Every time it took a step, the human skin bag that Jiang Ying was in would tremble violently.

It was like an earthquake.

The footsteps moved from far to near, and finally stopped near Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying held her breath, not daring to make a sound, for fear of attracting the attention of unknown monsters.

Through the human skin bag, Jiang Ying could hear a heavy panting.

At the same time, the smell of blood in the air became more intense and pungent at this moment.

The unknown monster stopped moving, and even the strange roar that had been vaguely in the distance disappeared.

The surrounding area was terribly quiet, and Jiang Ying could even hear her own heartbeat.

The eerie silence lasted for nearly five minutes.

Xia Xia sent a message to Jiang Ying, saying that the monster had lost its voice.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the position in front of Jiang Ying's left.

Immediately afterwards, a terrified scream came to Jiang Ying's ears.

According to these voices, Jiang Ying could imagine what was happening outside.

A tall, giant-like monster tore open a human skin bag, took out the woman in the bag, and held it tightly in his hand.

The woman's voice changed because she was too frightened, but it could be heard that it wasn't Xia Shining.

"Help! Don't eat me, help!!!"

"My lady, I believe my lady! I was wrong and I will never run away again!"

"Please don't, uhhhh-"

The sound of bones being snapped made one's scalp tingle.The monster tore the woman apart alive and stuffed it into its mouth to chew.

Jiang Ying curled up in her bag, and silently took out the Laolao bell hidden in her pocket.

A private message appeared on his phone.

Xia Xia: "Brother Ying, the monster eats people. It ate a woman, right in front of me! It's over, it's so heavy and big, it won't be full after eating one. I'm so close to it, will itCome and eat me?"

Seeing the news, Jiang Ying turned her head and glanced thoughtfully.

It seems that players in different timelines will appear in the same place after death.

Could it be because there is a channel to communicate the two worlds here?

The monster finished eating the woman and started walking again.

The heavy footsteps echoed in Jiang Ying's ears, getting closer and clearer, and finally stopped beside Jiang Ying.

In the next second, a huge black shadow enveloped the human skin bag where Jiang Ying was.

Through the human skin, he heard the sound of swallowing saliva in front of him.

"I'm so hungry, I need something to eat."

"This bag is also full of food. There is food in the bag."

————

Qin Huo has lived for more than a hundred years, and has never been so angry as he is today.

After a rough scan of the situation in the small shop, combined with what Jiang Ying had said to him before his 'death', Qin Huo roughly figured out the current situation.

Xiao Chunhua's small shop exists because every time 'Jiang Ying' goes to work in the field, she is bullied by men.

She was worried that something would happen to him, and she couldn't have no source of income, so she set up a small shop.

She doesn't need the store per se.

What did the players in the past cause the death of 'Jiang Ying' in the future.

The owner of the house did not become Xiaochunhua, which means that after the change of the timeline, 'Jiang Ying' died for some reason before Xiao Chunhua bought the small shop.

Qin Huo didn't care about the hidden story behind the dungeon, and he didn't need to think about customs clearance.

All he wanted to know now was where this dungeon got his friend.

As time passed, the anger in Qin Huo's chest increased instead of diminishing.

He held the red rope piglet tightly, and his black eyes gradually turned into golden snake pupils.

The mental power belonging to the SSS-level python instantly enveloped the deaf village.

Qin Huo's cold gaze swept over every inch of the ground.

He saw at least one stinky flower buried in every villager's home.

I saw countless pale tree roots buried under the ground around the village.

They criss-cross underground, and the entire deaf village seems to be built on these roots.

Qin Huo watched for a long time, and finally found Jiang Ying's body.

In the dry well in the backyard of the village chief's house, lay a skeleton covered in dust.

There are still fragments of Jiang Ying's clothes on his body, and a red rope with a piggy pendant is tied to his almost severed wrist.

The exquisite wooden piglet has long lost its original color, and it is covered with dried blood.

Even though he knew that Jiang Ying was not really dead, Qin Huo still felt difficult to breathe when he saw the corpse.

He seemed to have been ripped out of all the bones in his body, he staggered two steps and supported the wall before barely standing still.

Qin Huo thought of Jiang Ying's appearance "before she died".

Jiang Ying vomited blood all over the ground, and her body was covered with bruises.

He was beaten to death.

Qin Huo didn't find out where Jiang Ying went after his death, he only found a corpse.

He still doesn't know if the skeleton is his friend, but he knows what he wants to do.

Qin Huo turned his head and looked straight at the hidden secret door behind the shelves of the small shop.

There was a statue of a god in the secret door, and he decided to talk to the god first, and ask it if he could return his friend.

If not, he would go to the village head's house first and eat that family.

Then they tore up all the tree roots underground in the town, forcing it to send Jiang Ying back.

Qin Huo is in a bad mood now.

He felt that since everything in the deaf village was caused by evil.God rules.The villagers inside obeyed its arrangement.

That evil.God should have given a reasonable explanation for his friend's disappearance.

Thinking of this, Qin Huo removed the shelf, raised his hand and knocked on the secret door on the wall: "Hello, can you tell me, where is Jiang Ying now?"

The small shop was quiet, and the statue in the secret room did not respond.

After asking two more times, Qin Huo's patience was completely exhausted.

Black and blue scales appeared on his skin, and his eyes completely turned into snake pupils.

A second later, a giant python probe entered the secret room.

He opened his bloody mouth wide and stared at the statue with his eyes.

"Hello, do you know where I can find my Jiang Ying?"
