81: Crazy slaughter! The faceless man died!
“The more you think about it, the scarier it gets!”
“The more you think about it, the scarier it gets!”
“...”
The Fans in front of their screens heard the Faceless Man and Wu Tian's analysis up to this point, and their eyes instantly widened. They tremblingly typed out the four words universally understood across the world!
“The Fisherman probably thought these people were concerned about him, but it turns out they coveted his body! Damn it!”
“Utter terror!”
“Watch your language upstairs, what do you mean, ‘coveted his body’?”
“Also, are you missing a dot under your ‘big’ character? Where’s your dot? (Witty)”
“...”
“Hearing this, I can’t help but think of a movie, brothers, have you seen ‘Get Out’?”
“The male lead in it went to his girlfriend’s house as a guest, then the Villagers there kept asking about his health, and he almost had his brain replaced in the end!”
“Hiss...”
“Can’t brush it off in the day, can’t escape it at night!”
“What Peach Blossom Garden, what ‘Get Out’, I don’t know, I don’t remember, evil spirits begone!”
“I’m going to play Timi!”
“Fans, see you tomorrow!”
“Some people are in love, some stream late-night adventures, but some suffer 27 consecutive losses playing Timi late at night!”
“Damn it... a plant!”
...“Hmm!”
The Faceless Man nodded.
“Each of them invited the Fisherman to eat, using the excuse that they hadn’t seen an outsider in years, and during the meal, they inquired about all of the Fisherman’s personal information!”
“Then...”
The Faceless Man sighed.
“A powerful sorcerer, with the highest prestige and best at hiding himself, used an evil spell!”
“Possessed the Fisherman’s body!”
...Feeling Zhang Meng and the Fatty’s sudden realization, a hoarse chuckle escaped the Faceless Man’s belly.
“Judging by your expressions...”
“Do you think that’s the end of it?”
“No!”
“What comes next is the true human purgatory!”
The Faceless Man continued.
“This sorcerer, who had possessed the Fisherman, carrying everyone’s hopes and the mission to find more souls, rowed the Fisherman’s boat out of the Peach Blossom Garden and left. Then...”
“Just as the young gentleman Tao Yuanming recorded in the peach blossom spring!”
“He directly reported the unusual situation of the Peach Blossom Garden to the local Prefect!”
“Prefect?”
The Fatty scratched his head.
“Exactly!”
The Faceless Man gave a cold laugh.
“At that time, during the transition between the Two Jin Dynasties, the world was in a state of war, lacking food, money, and even more so, people!”
“When the Prefect heard that so many people were hidden in this Peach Blossom Garden, and that the Villagers must have brought in a lot of treasures, what do you think...”
“This Prefect would do?”
“...”
“Lead troops to break in!”
Zhang Meng’s eyes widened.
“Precisely!”
The Faceless Man nodded.
“When the Prefect heard the Fisherman’s report, how could he stand it?”
“He immediately led heavily armed troops, followed the marks the Fisherman had made everywhere, and broke into this Peach Blossom Garden, which had already undergone earth-shattering changes from before!”
“Wait a minute...”
Zhang Meng frowned.
“Since you said Mr. Tao Yuanming’s record is correct, then ‘Seeking the marked path, he became lost and could not find the way again!’”
“This sentence... should also be true, right?”
“Didn’t they fail to enter?”
“Hehe...”
After hearing Zhang Meng’s question, the Faceless Man chuckled softly.
“False!”
“Because after the Prefect led hundreds of soldiers into the Peach Blossom Garden, the sorcerers slaughtered all of these soldiers and Prefects, and interrogated the Prefect for all his private information!”
“After this, the second sorcerer...”
“Possessed the Prefect’s body!”
“And those innocent soldiers all became nourishment for them to suppress the Dragon Vein!”
“And it was because of that massacre...”
The Faceless Man’s tone was heavy.
“That this peach forest and water were tainted by resentment, turning black!”
...“Hoo...”
After listening to the Faceless Man’s account, Wu Tian let out a deep breath!
So... this peach forest turned black this way!
And judging by the nature of these sorcerers, combined with the current state of the village outside the Peach Blossom Garden, Wu Tian clenched his fists... it’s likely that over the past thousand years, countless more people have died at the hands of these sorcerers!
Having committed so many acts of slaughter, no wonder... this peach forest and water source turned black!
If Wu Tian had to say.
How could this still be the Peach Blossom Garden? This was clearly a human purgatory!
“Alright...”
Having finished speaking, the Faceless Man seemed to have unburdened himself of a worry. His entire body relaxed, and he leaned against the black peach tree behind him, waving his hand at the three.
“What can be said and what cannot, this is all I know!”
“As for how to deal with that person, and where the Dragon Vein is?”
The Faceless Man shook his head slightly.
“I don’t know either!”
“However, since you dare to come to the Peach Blossom Garden, you must have some strength!”
“Hurry and go in!”
“I wish you all the best!”
“...”
Wu Tian was startled, then turned his head to look at the Faceless Man leaning crookedly against the peach tree.
He frowned.
“What about you?”
“You’ve told us everything you shouldn’t have...”
“Hehe...”
“Most likely, I won’t live!”
The Faceless Man’s tone was very free and easy!
“I’ve already lived for over two thousand years. Today, I met you, and I’ve said everything that I’ve kept bottled up for so long. Half of my inner knot is gone.”
“Let’s stop here!”
The Faceless Man said freely.
“I haven’t seen her face in over a thousand years.”
“I miss her so much!”
“You all go, let me stay here alone, for the last moments of my life...”
“I want to be alone!”
“...”
“Hmm!”
Wu Tian took a deep look at the Faceless Man, then nodded, and quickly walked towards the entrance of the Peach Blossom Garden with the Fatty and Zhang Meng...
“Boss, will he die?”
The Fatty asked softly beside Wu Tian.
“He will...”
Wu Tian nodded.
Then he thought for a moment and continued.
“But... isn’t this also a kind of release?”
“He no longer belonged to this world anyway. With his obsession gone, perhaps following the footsteps of his beloved is what he most wants to do now?”
“Beloved?”
The Fatty looked up.
“Yes!”
Zhang Meng glanced at Wu Tian beside her, and patted the Fatty’s shoulder.
“But you’re a single dog, you wouldn’t understand!”
Fatty: ...“Aren’t you a single dog too?”
...Ten minutes later, after Wu Tian and the other two had entered the Peach Blossom Garden, and the entire black peach forest fell into silence.
“Crack...”
In the peach forest.
The sound of a branch breaking echoed.
“Why didn’t I realize you were so talkative before?”
“...”
The Faceless Man, leaning against the tree trunk, was startled.
Then he chuckled softly.
“Stop, Azu.”
“What you’re doing won’t end well. It’s been over two thousand years, the Dragon Vein is still the Dragon Vein, and you are still you!”
“Do you think you still have hope?”
“...”
“Shut up!”
“You damn it...”
“Shut up!!”
That person’s indifferent voice instantly turned violent, and a black light flashed!
The Faceless Man’s head was cut off by him!
In the black peach forest, it transformed into black mist and slowly dissipated!
“My affairs...”
“Don’t need you to butt in!”
“Traitor!”
