Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Chapter 128 Darkroom

Mo Yuan had a very deep impression of the person who was rejected. At the end of the first playthrough, it was he who killed everyone—the villagers, his companions, and her.

He even killed himself.

What kind of scene was that?

The young man's tall, slender figure walked step by step through the rain.

The man was dressed in white with black hair and had a refined appearance.

His features appeared soft in the rain and mist, yet his cool and aloof aura was sharp and intimidating, inspiring awe.

He held a short knife that was dripping blood in his hand, and the blood splattered on the young man's handsome face.

He showed no expression, letting the blood droplets slide down his plain white shirt, forming a blood flower.

He didn't care that a river of blood had already flowed behind him, after all, those villagers weren't good people either.

His low, hoarse voice carried a hint of morbid madness.

A voice suddenly rang in Mo Yuan's ear, "Now, it's your turn."

On the first day of the first playthrough, all players were cursed by her, and if they could not find the antidote within seven days, they would only be waiting to die.

Some players died because they didn't follow the rules, while others were eaten by the Gu worms. The slightly better cases were those who were driven insane.

So in the end, that person would rather commit suicide than ask her for the antidote.

All players died, including her. The young man successfully reset time, and the second playthrough began.

Because of his threat, she did not use the curse on the player in the second playthrough.

After a long while, Mo Yuan looked at Lu Xue with a complicated expression and muttered, "The Jiang brother you mentioned is really a madman."

Lu Xue heard Mo Yuan's mutterings and shook her head in disapproval, denying Mo Yuan's statement.

"Brother Jiang is a very, very good person, and also a very powerful big shot."

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly.

Lu Xue grabbed Mo Yuan's hand, took a step back, and stared intently at the stone gate.

The tremors grew stronger, and dust and gravel began to fall from the stone gate.

Then, with a loud crash, cracks began to appear in the stone door. The cracks spread rapidly, and the joints between the stones gradually loosened.

With another, even more violent tremor, the stone gate finally collapsed with a deafening roar.

The boulders fell one after another, crashing into the ground with a deafening sound.

Even some of the iron gate railings were knocked askew.

Dust filled the air, almost obscuring the entire cave.

Lu Xue instinctively used her arms to protect her head, shielding Mo Yuan behind her.

As the stone gate collapsed, a cold wind blew in from behind it, carrying with it a damp and musty smell.

Jiang Qi squinted as he surveyed the space inside the cave, while Lin Wanchu rushed in and, upon finding a familiar figure, finally felt relieved.

"Xiaoxue, thank goodness you're alright!"

The two embraced tightly. Mo Yuan, trailing her bright red wedding dress, slowly bent down to pick up the bell from the ground.

Two bells on the ground were already broken, while another bell lay intact in Mo Qing's arms, but Mo Qing was still unconscious.

Mo Yuan squatted down, wrapped his arms around her knees, and easily lifted Mo Qing up in his arms.

I carefully adjusted her position, not wanting her to feel any discomfort.

However, an unreadable emotion was brewing and surging in Mo Yuan's eyes.

Mo Qing, it's been a long time. You've come back in this way again.

Standing in front of the stone gate were only Jiang Qi, Chi Miaomiao, and Xu Cangsheng; Lu Zhi was nowhere to be seen.

Mo Yuan, holding Mo Qing in his arms, glanced at Jiang Qi only once before striding forward with steady steps.

No further clues were found in the cave, but unfortunately, two players died.

The stone gate was destroyed and could no longer hold them.

Therefore, all five of them planned to leave the cave with Mo Yuan, but the joy of reunion had not yet spread.

Mo Yuan, who had just stepped out of the stone cave, froze on the spot.

Lu Xue was puzzled. Peeking out from behind her, she saw that the stone steps were crowded with villagers.

They stood guard at the entrance of the cave, each holding a sickle, hoe, and hammer, their faces contorted with rage.

The clan chief stood at the very front, raised his arms, and cried out in anguish:

"The woman from Luohua Cave has escaped, and the mountain god is enraged. Our Miao Gu Village will be in trouble!"

Upon hearing the village chief's words, countless villagers burst into tears.

"It's all over, it's all over now."

“We haven’t even prayed to the mountain god yet, and we’re already being punished by him.”

"It's all your fault, and all you outsiders, what are you doing here? It's all your fault, we're all doomed!"

Everyone stood on the moral high ground, criticizing them with a cacophony of voices.

After all, nobody wants to suffer.

Jiang Qi had anticipated being blocked, but he hadn't expected the villagers to arrive so quickly.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Xu Cangsheng quickly tried to smooth things over.

"The Flower Cave Maiden didn't run away; they're all here. It's just that some of our friends are inside. We were worried about them, so we came to check on them."

The villagers seemed to have not expected this situation, and for a moment no one spoke.

The situation remained deadlocked until the clan chief finally spoke up: "The Flower Cave Maiden is the mountain god's bride and represents the mountain god's will. It is impossible for her to leave the cave on her own."

"There's no way they would betray our entire Miao Gu Village!"

"So, it's because you outsiders tried to take away the Flower Cave Girl that you angered the Mountain God, and the Mountain God will punish our village!"

Xu Cangsheng didn't expect that her words would have no effect on the clan leader. Now, no matter what they did, everyone would assume that it was their fault.

After all, Luohua Cave Goddess represents the mountain god, and the mountain god would not do anything wrong.

Jiang Qi remained silent, waiting.

A group of people were arguing and shouting, and finally someone yelled, "It's all the fault of these outsiders! It's all their fault. If they hadn't brought the Fallen Flower Cave Girl out, how could they have angered the mountain god?"

"Yes, it's all their fault. They did something wrong and then tried to harm our whole village."

"Arrest them, burn them alive to appease the mountain god's wrath!"

The villagers pretended to rush forward, but they couldn't catch a single person.

They were forced back into the cave.

Jiang Qi's back pressed against the cold wall, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.

Jiang Qi tapped the wall lightly with both hands before his expression subtly changed.

When he arrived, he had changed into a thin white shirt, with a few buttons casually undone at the collar, revealing a section of his long, fair neck.

Jiang Qi stood alone, his back as straight as a mountain, not swaying at all, his clear eyes calmly surveying the villagers.

A sinister smile curled at the corner of his lips, and a cruel light flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Qi held the short knife in his hand, the tip gleaming in the candlelight, his fingers gently stroking the hilt.

Every subtle movement revealed an impending murderous intent, sending chills down one's spine.

"Since there's no way out, let's fight our way out."

Upon hearing Jiang Qi's words, the villagers inexplicably began to back down, exchanging bewildered glances.

Lu Xue was still posing as Luo Hua Dong Niang, so no villagers noticed her behavior.

The clan chief, however, showed no fear and sneered, "How could you possibly destroy the centuries-old customs of Peach Blossom Village?"

Lu Xue silently approached the chieftain from behind, gripped a shovel tightly in both hands, and chopped down at the chieftain's neck.

Forget about a hundred years, I'll smash you to death with a shovel.

Unfortunately, Lu Xue was too weak. The clan leader only stumbled slightly forward before turning around and glaring fiercely at Lu Xue.

While the clan chief was distracted, Jiang Qi had already dealt with several villagers, and Xu Cangsheng and Lin Wanchu had also taken down half of the villagers.

The clan chief was consumed by rage and trembled with anger.

"You will be punished!"

Lin Wanchu retorted, "You're the ones who deserve retribution."

Within minutes, the clan leader had been tied up.

Lin Wanchu took the candle from his hand, and only then did the clan chief become frightened.

It wriggled its body, pleading with Lin Wanchu not to blow out the candles.

Before Lu Xue studied the bells that Aunt Mo had given to each of the Fallen Flower Cave Maidens, she was studying them.

Aunt Mo had told me that this was a soul-guiding bell; if cracks appeared on it, it meant the person was beyond saving.

Her own bell was still intact, and Mo Qing's bell was also intact. In the Fallen Flower Cave, only the two of them survived.

"Now, we have almost figured out the truth behind the Miao Jiang Gu Village."

"Feudal superstition, preference for sons over daughters..."

Lu Xue said softly, "Add two more: trafficking in women and imprisoning, raping, and abusing them."

Xu Cangsheng suddenly looked at Lu Xue. This Miao Gu Village was not just about feudal superstition; there was something else going on behind the scenes.

Mo Qing slowly woke up in Mo Yuan's arms.

Mo Qing, who had just woken up, was still confused and blinked slowly.

"Ah Jing? What's wrong with me?"

Mo Yuan lowered his eyes and remained silent. He glanced at her, his smile faded, and his expression became somewhat weary.

"It's nothing, you just fainted."

Jiang Qi carefully explored the wall he had previously leaned against, scanning it back and forth with his eyes.

Suddenly, he noticed that one of the bricks was different from the surrounding bricks; it seemed to be concave.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the edges of the brick were worn, as if it had been moved by someone.

Jiang Qi's heart stirred, and he reached out and gently pressed the brick, feeling it loosen slightly.

He pushed the bricks forcefully, gripped the stone with both hands, and pulled it outwards.

As the bricks moved, a faint turning sound was heard, and the outline of a hidden door appeared on the wall.

The door slowly opened, revealing a narrow passage.

The chieftain's mouth was stuffed with a rag, and he tried to speak but could only choke back tears, his face turning red and his neck bulging.

Lin Wanchu's cold, piercing eyes, tinged with a smile, stared straight at the clan leader, her smile forced and insincere.

"We're leaving now, so you'll perish along with this Miao witchcraft village."

The clan leader struggled even more violently, but no one paid him any attention.

The door to the dark room was slowly pushed open, and an indescribable stench immediately rushed out, making one want to vomit.

The air was thick with the stench of decay, almost suffocating.

Jiang Qi frowned, covered his mouth and nose with his arm, and carefully stepped into the dark space.

The interior of the dark room shocked everyone.

It was filled with the bones of women, a mixture of different states of decay.

The skeletons were arranged haphazardly, some overlapping and others scattered, as if they had experienced extreme struggle or panic before death.

Every bone, every piece of torn clothing, seems to be silently accusing some cruel act.

Some of the remains were highly decomposed, with only skeletons remaining.

Some still had parts of flesh that hadn't completely decomposed, with exposed bones and rotting flesh intertwined, a scene that resembled a nightmare.

Lin Wanchu looked around and saw some corpses staring blankly ahead.

The other corpses were so badly decomposed that they were unrecognizable.

Flies buzzed in the cramped space, swarming around the corpse.

They rose and fell, greedily sucking the juices from the corpses, filling the entire space with the sounds of their activity.

The flies' wings still gleamed with an oily sheen, making one think of the rotten things they had just landed on.

These flies swarmed together, a dense, black mass, which was extremely unsettling.

A coat was put over Lu Xue's head.

Jiang Qi forced himself to endure the nausea and searched for clues to leave this hellish place.

As you continue forward, the mottled bloodstains and stains of unknown liquid on the walls of the dark room send chills down your spine.

This place is like a forgotten corner of the world, forever shrouded in darkness and despair.

Mo Yuan walked at the back, looking at the piles of bones, his anger, sadness, fear and sympathy intertwined, forming an indescribable feeling.

She should have known the truth sooner.

On the other side, Lu Zhi stood upright on the ground overlooking the entire Miao Gu Village.

His eyes, as black as an abyss, gazed at the distant horizon.

He was holding a bunch of sophisticatedly crafted bombs in his hand.

These bombs were specially prepared by Jiang Qi for this game instance.

Lu Zhi strolled leisurely along the perimeter of the Miao Jiang Gu Village, ensuring that every area was bombed from all angles.

He placed explosive devices one by one beside the patriarch's ancestral hall, the eerie infant tower, and the stone cave on the mountaintop.

He carefully checked the timer and detonation mechanism of each bomb he placed to ensure that they would detonate accurately when needed.

With the last bomb in place, Lu Zhi retreated to the relatively safe cave.

He turned on the remote control and confirmed that all the bombs were connected and ready to be deployed.
