On the altar, Selena stared at the crystal ball in the old miner's hand in shock, amazed and at a loss.
Compared to the old miner who had experienced the Eternal Moon once, Selina was still a little younger.
Shields, crystal balls, dragon stones, crosses, chessboards, the evil followers have everything.
The white ball on the altar glowed slightly.
A black skull appeared above the old man and Selina's heads.
This is evidence that the two of them voted for each other and wanted to exile each other from the village.
Qi Ge smiled slightly in his heart.
This is also the scene that players faced in the previous life when they confidently pointed out that the old miner was a follower of the evil god.
The old man is highly respected in Hanye Village.
Except for the village chief who is about the same age as the old man, everyone else in the village has received the old man's favor to some extent.
Who wouldn't like an old man who is eager to help others, kind-hearted, and extremely gentle in his words and deeds?
The old man is a doomsday prophet and a big brother with the ability to turn the tables in one fell swoop.
Unless the situation is critical, the evil god believers camp will never sell out the old man.
The remaining five evil god believers will 100% stand on the old man's side.
This means that the old man’s opponent will be born with 6 votes hanging above his head.
Anyone who points out the old man will face hell.
Similarly, if there were no knights present, there was a high probability that anyone the old man pointed out would be exiled directly.
Letting Selena be the first to point out the old man is equivalent to destroying the old man's imperial sword.
Although Selina's reputation in the village is not as good as the old man's, she is also very popular in the village because of her sweet appearance.
The conflict between her and the old man is bound to cause many villagers to be at a loss as to how to choose.
There will even be many villagers who choose to abstain from voting and vote for themselves.
The only person who can clearly distinguish between the old man and Selina who is the follower of the evil god is the [Knight] in Qi Ge's hands.
If the Cavaliers do not take action, the first day of voting will be doomed to be a chaotic game with both teams evenly matched.
This is absolutely beneficial for the seven pigeons.
On the altar, the old man began his performance.
He coughed, looked at Selina and said:
“Ever since I became a prophet, I knew this day would come.
But I didn't expect that you would be the one who became a follower of the evil god.
Serena.
I still remember the scene of you and Nash bickering with each other while shaking your legs in my house.
It really breaks my heart that you have become a follower of evil gods.
I would check the old fellow's identity because he is the village chief. If he is a believer of the evil god, he will pose a great threat to us.
But Selena, what reason do you have to check my identity?
That makes no sense, does it?
I can only think that you have been bewitched by the evil god, and you knew my identity as a prophet in advance, and you want to exile me."
Selina was so angry that her liver ached when she heard the old miner's nonsense.
But she didn't have the ability to speak now, and couldn't refute.
Qi Ge knew very well that although the old miner's rebuttal was brilliant, Selena had the advantage after all.
Everyone has a concept of focusing on the main thing.
Therefore, the two people are still in a balance at present, but if the old miner continues to speak, that may not be the case.
Qi Ge had an idea and immediately asked the village chief to interrupt the old miner.
"Time's up."
The village chief said sadly:
“Old man, both you and Serena are respected people in our village.
It would make me deeply sad if any of you became a follower of evil gods.
But unfortunately, it seems that there must be a fallen one between you two.
Then let the villagers decide your fate."
The village chief loudly announced:
"Next! Old blacksmith Muye, it's your turn."
Twilight was very excited and danced as she looked at her father.
How could Mu Ye not know what his son was thinking? He sighed and said:
"I am willing to believe Serena, and I also identify the old man."
A skull suddenly appeared on the old man's head.
There was a deep disappointment in his eyes.
Being stared at by the old man like this, Mu Ye couldn't help but turn his head away guiltily.
The mayor continued: "London."
London is another guard in the village, an ordinary villager.
He touched his head and said:
“I believe in the old man’s character, he definitely won’t believe in evil gods.
I identify Serena."
In this way, the exile meeting proceeded in an orderly manner.
Under the deliberate control of the Seven Doves, those who voted first were those who the Seven Doves were unsure of their stance.
Unlike Werewolf, the exile meeting in Hanye Village has no logic or eloquence at all, and it is all about human relationships and worldly wisdom.
Soon, all 12 villagers who were not in the Seven Pigeons camp completed the exile vote.
One ordinary villager abstained from voting and voted for himself.
Selina had 8 votes, while the old man only had 3 votes.
These three votes came from Selina herself and the blacksmith and his son.
Obviously, even with the advantage of being the first mover, Selina only managed to get the old blacksmith's vote.
Selena was completely distraught and felt hopeless. The situation was overwhelmingly unfavorable for her.
Qi Ge smiled slightly in his heart.
It’s okay, I’ll do it.
Under the control of Qi Ge, the village chief laughed and said:
"As much as I'd like to believe you, old man.
But unfortunately, you got my identity wrong.
I am not an ordinary villager, I am a noble servant of the true God!
I cannot tell you my specific identity now.
So this time, I'm on Serena's side.
I'm identifying you, old friend!"
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, a skull suddenly appeared on the old miner's head.
8:4
"ha?!"
The village chief's confusing remarks puzzled the villagers.
If what the village chief said was true, it meant that the old miner was lying, which meant that the old miner must be a believer in the evil god!
Village chief, why didn't you tell me this earlier about such an important matter? Why did you tell me now that all the votes have been cast?!
The old miner was caught off guard by the sudden backstabbing of the old village chief.
All the evil god believers looked at the old village chief as if he were a fool.
Especially the restaurant owner Gray Wolf, who almost vomited blood.
"You are a true servant of God?! You are shit!"
The old village chief's backstab was like a clarion call for a charge, and the entire situation was reversed in an instant.
Chaohua: Ah, since the village chief said so, then I believe Sister Selena.
Xiaotian: It seems that I can only vote for the old man.
Yuewu: I’m just a gatekeeper. I don’t really understand these things. I’ll vote for whoever the village chief votes for.
Paradise: Abba... Abba... (abandon the vote and vote for myself after the time limit expires)
This is what a Jedi counterattack is.
In just over ten seconds, Selena broke four votes.
8:7.
In the end, only seven pigeons were left.
The old village chief stretched out his finger.
"Nash, it's your turn."
Selena's heart tightened.
Although he and Nash have a mutual understanding, Nash and the old man are as close as grandfather and grandson.
The most important thing is that the old man did not harm Nash last night.
Now Nash can vote for anyone.
If Nash votes for the old man, the final result will be a tie, no one will be exiled, and he can survive.
But if Nash votes for me, I'm done!
One vote for life, one vote for death.
Under Selina's nervous gaze, Qi Ge slowly looked towards her.
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said loudly:
“Serena, I said I would always believe in you and always be by your side.
If you are a believer of the evil god, then I am the evil god!
I choose to identify the old man!"
8:8!!
Tie vote!
The white ball on the altar fluctuated violently, as if it was very dissatisfied with the result.
In an instant, the glorious day in the sky was covered with a layer of haze.
【The referendum result was a tie, and no one was exiled. 】
[The referendum meeting is over and it is getting dark. Please return to your room as soon as possible. ]
“Nash!!”
Serena burst into tears.
She ran to Qi Ge like the wind and threw herself into Qi Ge's arms.
"Nash, I almost didn't see you."
Qi Ge patted Serena on the back and whispered in Serena's ear:
"Don't be afraid. I'm here."
In a place where Selena couldn't see, Qi Ge's mouth corners were slightly raised, looking sinister and evil.
He knew that from this moment on, even without conversion, Selena's vote would always be with him.
"Nash." The old man slowly approached with his cane, and Selena quickly shrank into Qi Ge's arms.
Qi Ge gently patted Serena's back, raised his head and looked directly at the old man.
Qi Ge originally thought that the old man came here to vent his dissatisfaction.
But contrary to Qi Ge's expectations, the old man did nothing.
He just smiled and seemed very pleased and said:
"Nash, you did a great job."
"Yeah, it's really good."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man slowly left, leaning on his crutches.
Serena exhaled lightly, looked at Qi Ge and said:
“Nash, the old man is really a believer in the evil god.
You must have offended him to death just now.
You are too dangerous now, let's stay together tonight."
Qi Ge smiled gently and answered like coaxing a child:
"Okay, we'll stay together tonight."
…
…
"Selena."
Twilight stood there blankly, watching Qi Ge and Serena hugging each other tightly.
This scene made him feel like a clown.
The old blacksmith Muye patted Twilight on the back and said:
"Forget it kid, let's go."
Seeing no reaction to his gaze, Mu Ye sighed deeply and said:
"Give up, kid. I've told you many times that Serena is not the right one for you."
“Why, even father, you don’t support me?!
Since we were little, you have been preventing me from being with Serena!"
There was despair in Twilight's eyes.
"Oh." Mu Ye sighed deeply and did not answer.
…
…
A group of villagers surrounded the old village chief and began to ask about the situation.
"Old village chief! You knew that the old man was a follower of the evil god, why didn't you tell us directly at the beginning?"
"Yes! We almost exiled Serena."
The old village chief looked a little embarrassed.
“Hi there.
I'm definitely on the old guy's side.
But I'm just an ordinary villager.
I was thinking about disguising myself as a servant of the true God and seeing if I could block a sacrifice for the servants of the true God in the village.
After all, my old bones won’t live for many more years even if I’m not sacrificed by the evil god.
Who knew that those young guys behind me would follow me and join my old friend.
Blame it on me, blame it on me, I almost killed my old friend."
…
…
【It’s dark, please close your eyes】
The next night.
The proprietress still didn't activate her skills.
…
…
After the old blind man woke up, he murmured to himself:
“Last night was Christmas Eve, and we couldn’t save Serena.
This shows that Meikelong is definitely not the evil god's guard, but an arsonist.
The evil god's guard is someone else.
There are only three people in the village who will guard Serena on the first night.
Twilight, Twilight, and Nash.
When Selena's mother was pregnant, the only men in the village who had a chance were Muye and I.
I know very well that if it's not me, it can only be Mu Ye.
Selena is most likely Mu Ye’s illegitimate daughter.
Everyone knows that Twilight likes Serena.
Judging from today's situation, this brat Nash not only pesters Qiangwei, but also wants to have the best of both worlds.
Tsk, this guy is really not a good guy. Fortunately, I didn’t agree to let Qiangwei date him.
Qiangwei told me that she heard that Meikalon’s shield was made by Muye..."
The blind old man gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Seal Muye, then save Muye, and send him away from Hanye Village first!"
…
…
The gray wolf woke up, and under Xiaotian's guidance, he chose to check the identity of the old teacher.
The old man who teaches is a bishop.
…
…
After discussion, the evil god's team of believers believed that they could not choose to save Selena during these few nights.
Once Selina is rescued, the old man will be exiled without any chance of defending himself.
In order to reduce the chances of the old man being exiled during the day, they had to choose to save those who would definitely stand on Selena's side first.
That is, one of Nash, Twilight, and Nightmare.
Considering that Mu Ye has been blinded, if he is the evil god's guard, he will not be able to protect himself tonight.
The team of evil god's followers chose to save Mu Ye.
…
…
Twilight woke up late at night. Because he was resentful of Selina's behavior during the day, he did not choose to protect Selina, but instead protected his father Twilight.
…
…
Qi Ge wakes up and chooses to control the restaurant owner, the dream demon Red Wolf.
The next morning, it was another Christmas Eve.
The village chief took the lead in ringing the bell and convened an exile meeting.
He explained to everyone what happened yesterday and that he was indeed an ordinary villager.
Voting restarted.
This time, more people abstained from voting, with a total of 3 people abstaining from voting.
In the end, Selena and the old man formed a 7:7 voting ratio.
It is worth mentioning that Twilight identified Qi Ge as a follower of the evil god without any evidence.
Unfortunately, he is just a clown and no one pays any attention to him.
The third night.
The dream demon took the lead and chose to control the old bishop who was teaching.
Old blind action.
Two consecutive Christmas Eve nights made the evil cult team feel confused.
Therefore, he chose Twilight, who was blind, to identify Qi Ge during the day.
Operation Grey Wolf.
To be on the safe side, he also chose to check Twilight's identity.
and confirmed Twilight as the guard.
The evil cultists act as a team and choose to save Twilight.
…
…
The bishop took action, and the dream demon woke up at the same time.
The bishop can grant special skills to village knights, prophets, nuns, guards, and half-dragons.
Villagers who are given special skills will not change their camp, but will have the same skills as the True God Guards, and will also have the restriction that they cannot reveal their own special skills.
Under the control of the Dream Monster, the Bishop chose to give the Dream Monster the [Guard] skill!
The dream monster is protected and can choose a villager to protect it every night.
Thus, a neutral camp with the ability to create Christmas Eve by one person appeared!
Guard action.
Twilight was blinded and unable to move.
The dream demon wakes up again and chooses to protect Twilight.
…
…
The seven pigeons awaken and control the old blind man.
The third day, Christmas Eve.
Banish the tie vote.
The fourth night.
The old blind man blocked the half-dragon.
The team of evil god believers realized that something was wrong.
The evil demon Gray Wolf checked Qi Ge's identity and confirmed that Qi Ge was the evil god.
The followers of the evil god chose to sacrifice seven pigeons, which were guarded by a dream demon.
The seven doves awaken and control the bishop.
At this point, all possible hidden dangers have been eliminated by Qige.
The seven pigeons hold 9 votes, and the votes are always tied during the day.
There are also dream monsters who can participate in the evil god team’s nighttime discussions and provide protection at the same time.
Whoever the evil god's followers sacrifice to will be protected by the dream demon, and every night will be Christmas Eve.
Next, the seven pigeons only need to follow the steps and control them one by one to achieve the final victory.
The other players were already preparing to celebrate their victory, but Qi Ge felt that it was not that simple.
The thirteenth night.
Among all the villagers, only the old man was not controlled.
The old man's special skills are:
If the Doomsday Prophet is the only one left among the evil god's followers, he will immediately select up to 6 people for sacrifice.
However, now, all the evil god followers are still alive, and the old man cannot use his special skills.
He couldn't sacrifice anyone at night, and couldn't get people out during the day. It was so painful.
On the thirteenth night, Qi Ge did not control the old man, but chose to pass by.
On the thirteenth day, Qi Ge went to the old man's residence alone.
While walking on the road, Qi Ge had many wonderful ideas in his mind for some reason.
13 is a magical number.
Especially in the real-world West.
According to Christian legend, Jesus had a dinner with his disciples before his death.
The 13th person who attended the dinner was Judas, one of Jesus' disciples.
Judas betrayed Jesus to the Jewish authorities for 30 pieces of silver, causing Jesus to be tortured.
There were 13 people attending the Last Supper, and the date of the supper was the 13th, the same day Jesus was crucified on the 13th cross.
"13" brought suffering and misfortune to Jesus.
From then on, in Christianity, "13" was considered a symbol of misfortune.
"13" is synonymous with betrayal and selling out.
This is not an isolated case.
In Norse mythology, 12 gods attended the banquet of Khafre.
During the banquet, an uninvited guest, Loki, the god of trouble and noise, suddenly came.
The intrusion of this 13th visitor resulted in the death of Bert, who was favored by the gods.
Therefore, thirteen also means misfortune in Norse mythology.
This superstition is similar to the Chinese belief that the number “4” means death.
"When I think about it, it makes me look like a bad guy."
Qi Ge smiled bitterly.
"Maybe I am really a bad person. After all, I am an evil god."
The old man seemed to have anticipated Qi Ge's arrival. He prepared a pot of tea and some snacks in advance and waited quietly.
"Master, I'm here to see you."
Qi Ge pushed open the door and found a seat to sit down.
"Hey, hey, we are visitors from outer space. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."
The old man said while staring at Qi Ge with a smile.
Qi Ge asked straight to the point:
"So, you've discovered that I'm not Nash?"
"I'm not stupid."
The old man smiled bitterly.
"Nash isn't as capable as you."
Probably, when the first day of voting ended, the old man had already noticed something wrong with me.
Qi Ge thought about it and asked:
"Old man, I won't hide it. I came here this time because I have a few questions to ask you.
Old man, how much do you know about the Eternal Moon and the Glorious Sun? "
“The one that rises during the day is the glorious sun, and the one that rises at night is the eternal moon.
That’s all I know.”
Qi Ge shook his head.
"I think there's more to it than that."
He pointed to the sky and said:
“People in the village generally believe that the Glorious Sun is the true god of this world.
Knights, nuns, prophets, bishops, half-dragons, and guards are all servants of the Glorious Day.
In order to perform their special skills, they need to rely on the "treasures" bestowed by the Glorious Day.
But you think that the Eternal Moon is the true God.
At the same time, you don't have any so-called treasures, and all your power comes from praying to the Eternal Moon.
Why is there such a difference? "
The old man poured himself a cup of tea and another for Qi Ge.
“No reason.
There were only two roads, and we chose one of them.”
The seven pigeons refused to give in:
"Is that so? Is it really that simple?
If I'm not mistaken, there was no such thing as exile.
Voting to exile during the day is also a sacrifice.
Both day and night are sacrifices.
At night, you sacrifice villagers to the Eternal Moon.
During the day, those who were voted out were sacrificed to the glorious day, right?"
The old man raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked in astonishment:
"What do you mean by that?"
“First, the venue for the referendum meeting is the altar in the center of the village.
The function of the altar is to offer sacrifices to the gods.
If it was really exile, why would it be held on the altar?
Second, the convening and holding of the Exile Conference relied on the power of the Glorious Sun. The small Glorious Sun in the middle of the altar was the treasure for holding the referendum conference.
The so-called referendum meeting is actually an evil ritual held depending on the mood of the villagers.
It doesn't matter what kind of evidence is involved, it all depends on the villagers' mood.
Even if there is no evidence and they make random accusations, as long as there are enough villagers who think that the other party deserves to die, they can kill the other party.
There's not even a trial.
Moreover, at a referendum meeting, if you do not vote for someone else, you will be voting for yourself by default.
There is only a glimmer of hope if there is a tie for the highest number of votes.
This behavior is generally called indiscriminate killing in our world.
I don't see any fairness or justice at the referendum meeting.
The existence of a referendum meeting will only make the villagers suspicious, disgusted and resentful of each other.
If the Glorious Day is the true God, then this true God is too chaotic and evil.
Therefore, I guess that the so-called referendum meeting is essentially a ceremony to select sacrifices.”
The old man smiled gently and said:
“You’re half right.
The exile meeting during the day was indeed a sacrifice.
But at night, we are not sacrificing, we are saving.”
The main show is finally here.
Qi Ge became serious and asked:
"Tell me more about it."
For some reason, the old man smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said:
“Glorious Sun and Eternal Moon are both Outer Gods, just like you.
The god of our world died long ago."
The old man pointed to his feet and said:
“The place we are standing on now is the body of the God of Winter in our world.
It was only thanks to the remaining power of the God of Winter that we were not swallowed up by the glorious day.
In our world, there was a long war.
At the beginning, our world’s supreme god, the God of Winter, announced to us that the world was about to come to an end.
He will select some elites from our world, place the seeds of world rules in them, and let us find a new home in the endless void.
But before the God of Winter could act, the Glorious Day invaded our world.
The God of Winter and his subordinate gods began to fight a desperate battle with the Glorious Day.
We mortals have also formed various professions and joined the army to resist the glorious day.
Knights, nuns, prophets, bishops, half-dragons, and guards are all professionals in our world.
In addition to these weak professions, there are also powerful professions such as Dragon and Candle Wind.
But in the end, we failed.
The world was devoured, leaving only a small group of elites who carried the rules, barely surviving under the protection of the body of the God of Winter.
Hanye Village symbolizes endless cold nights and a doomsday with no hope in sight.
Soon, we discovered that even the body of the God of Winter had been contaminated by the Glorious Day.
Our living space is becoming smaller and smaller.
If we continue like this, we will soon perish.
In order to survive, the last pure white girl used her life to make a prophecy for our world.
She told us that as long as we find ways to delay time, the cold night will pass and hope will eventually come!
So we began our final struggle.
We all carry within us a part of the rules of this world.
Even if we die, the [rules] will continue to be passed down to our descendants.
This power of [rules] can delay the time for the divine body to be devoured.
So we performed a sacrifice, offering ourselves to become one with the God of Winter."
The old man smiled bitterly and said:
“I forgot to say that.
The White Lady is actually my great-grandmother.
Before she died, she told me that she saw no hope at all.
However, she could not tell the truth, otherwise the survivors in the village would become even more desperate.
I kept this secret and inherited the rules from my grandmother.
Despair soon set in.
Even the altar was tainted by the power of the Glorious Day.
Our noble sacrifice, under the influence of the glorious day, turned into an exile to choose a sacrifice.
The villagers' memories are constantly being devoured, and fewer and fewer villagers can remember the truth about the world.
By your generation, no one remembers our struggle.
I tried repeatedly to tell the villagers the truth, but they would always forget everything the next day.
Later I gave up.
That's fine.
The more you know, the more intense the inner torment becomes.
I am enough of the tortured people. "
Qi Ge murmured to himself:
"No wonder there are so many orphans in the village."
The old man continued:
“After a long period of persistence and waiting, hope finally came.
We have finally got another Outer God.
Unlike the Glorious Sun, the Eternal Moon will not devour us.
But the Eternal Moon will teleport our villagers to another world.
No one knows what is in that world, because the villagers who left never came back.
But no matter how bad it gets, how bad can it get?
It's better than being completely swallowed up by the glorious day.
That's why we call sacrificing villagers to the Eternal Moon salvation.
So, it's as you see.
A new round of war has begun.
Only this time, under the control of the Glorious Day, we became the betrayers among the villagers."
"I see."
Qi Ge fell into deep thought.
"The blind are blinded, and the dream demon deceives people.
The warlock's veto, the demon's magic eye, the ghost warrior's petrification.
And your final judgment, old man.
After all this time, it turns out that the Eternal Moon is Yasa.
This is the Chaos Treasure House. The Eternal Moon is Yasha, and the Glorious Day should be Chaos.
Yes.
From many Chaos Treasure Houses such as Sticky and Swamp Camp, it can be seen that the Chaos Treasure House is the battlefield where Yasa and Chaos fight for certain things.
Last time in the Demon Lord's Territory, Chaos was even able to block my system prompts.
That means, in this world that is deeper eroded by chaos.
Even if Chaos has the ability to change our players' system prompts and task panels, it is not surprising.
The mission of the players in the previous life was always to stand on the side of the glorious day.
This is completely the opposite of the truth.
The harder the players work, the further they are from the perfect strategy for [Han Ye Village].
No wonder, no matter how many times players clear the level, they can only get basic rewards and cannot complete the perfect strategy of Hanye Village.
In the later period, Hanye Village even disappeared inexplicably.
I guess it was completely swallowed up by chaos."
Qi Ge muttered to himself:
“Here comes the problem.
If the Glorious Sun is Chaos, the Eternal Moon is Yasha.
So, who am I? "
Qi Ge reopened the system prompts.
【Background introduction:
There is a curse circulating in Hanye Village.
Whenever the Eternal Moon hangs high in the sky, an evil favored being will claim the life of a villager.
Suspicion and confusion always linger in this village.
Only when the Glorious Day is shining can the villagers vote to expel a villager from Cold Night Village.
The sacred and the dark are mixed in this silent place.
The cold night is coming, and you are about to wake up.
First of all, you need to know yourself.
“I believe in the power of Mother Goddess Yasha. No matter how critical the situation is, she can leave some prompts for me in the system panel.
Among so many words, which ones were modified by Chaos, and which ones were left by the evil god in me?
What are the ones left behind by the Mother Goddess Yasha?"
Qi Ge's gaze gradually focused on the last sentence.
"First, I have to recognize myself."
"Who am I, then?"
Qi Ge put his hand on his forehead and fell into deep thought.
“My identity is Ouroboros.
I am the evil god.
I am something that the world cannot tolerate.
I am the primordial void.
I am the Wheel of Fortune.
I am the perfect transformation.
I am stagnation in motion.
I am 0. I am the beginning of everything and the end of everything.
Evil God, my identity is not bright.
I am something that cannot be tolerated by the world, but I exist in the world.
The original void represents that I am an independent world with independent rules.
Wheel of Fortune, luck? Bad luck is also luck.
Perfect transformation, change, is often accompanied by conspiracy and betrayal.
Stagnation in motion, isn't that a contradiction? Chaos camp?
I am 0. I am the beginning of everything and the end of everything.
The End...
The end..."
The more Qi Ge read, the brighter his eyes became.
A flash of inspiration instantly ran through his mind.
“I understand. I understand.
I am the abyss."
call!
Flames rose and the smell of sulfur filled the old man's room.
Under the old man's surprised gaze, Qi Ge turned into a demon covered in lava!
And Qi Ge's system panel also turned into a sulfur red color!
Even the words on the panel turned into the angular language of the abyss!
