C8 Investigate

Xu Zhitian didn't know how long he had been waiting in front of the village chief's door. In the end, it was almost evening when the village chief returned with a few lambs following behind him. Clearly, he had been herding sheep all afternoon.

Xu Zhitian thought to himself that the village chief was really bold. The other villagers didn't dare to come out, but he dared to herding sheep by himself. His courage was commendable!

"You are?" The village chief saw Xu Zhitian standing in front of his house and asked first.

"Hello, village chief!"

Xu Zhitian stepped forward and shook hands with the village chief warmly. Seeing that there was no one around, he explained his purpose of coming.

He heard that Xu Zhitian was looking for him to discuss something strange in Mu Village. The chief's face darkened.

He opened the door and asked Xu Zhitian to wait in the house. He needed to lock the sheep in the pen to prevent them from running away.

It was a two-bedroom and one-bedroom house. Xu Zhitian sat alone in the living room. The village chief's house was well-cleaned. The floor was clean and clean. It was perfect to describe it as "spotless." The glass on the window was also very bright. If one did not look carefully, one would think that it was directly leading to the outside.

The tea table in front of him seemed to be made of tree branches. When one approached it, one could smell the fragrance of wood. There was also a vase on the tea table. There was a strange flower in the vase that Xu Zhitian had never seen before. The flower looked like a rose on the outside. But the scent it gives off is intoxicating, even though the roses have a scent, Compared to the flower, it was nothing.

While Xu Zhitian was sizing up the room, the village chief walked in from the courtyard.

"You said that you are here to solve the problem in Mu Village?" The village chief asked doubtfully.

"Yes!" Xu Zhitian's answer was firm. "I have a general idea of this strange thing, but I have some questions to ask you in person."

"Alright, you can ask. As long as I know, I will tell you without reservation." The village chief answered.

"Good!"

Xu Zhitian was worried that the village chief would not say anything because he did not believe him. He did not expect the village chief to be such a straightforward person. It seemed like his worries were unnecessary.

"First question. Before the body disappeared, did you ever see a chicken, duck, pig, and sheep being cut open in your village?"

"No!" The village chief answered without even thinking.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

The village chief did not seem like a person who could lie. Xu Zhitian started to feel nervous again. Could it be that it had something to do with the corpse?

"The second question is, how long did these strange incidents occur after the corpse disappeared?"

The village chief lowered his head and thought for a while. "About three days!"

"Have you searched for the corpse after it disappeared?"

"Of course. It has been more than a day. Since the body went missing on the mountain, we have searched the entire mountain, but we still have not found anything!"

Xu Zhitian was silent. He was thinking about it. At the same time, he was going to put the pieces of information together to see if he could find anything.

However, no matter how hard he tried to put them together, the results all pointed to one place: the corpse. It had been 'resurrected'!

Xu Zhitian had read a lot of horror novels. The corpse of "resurrected" belonged to zombies or zombies. They loved living things. As long as they were breathing, they wouldn't be able to leave alive after being caught by them. It would be good if they didn't cut their bellies open.

At the moment, Xu Zhitian's attention was only focused on the chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep. He was afraid that it wasn't done by human beings that had their bellies cut open in the middle of the night.

"I will patrol the village tonight. Village Chief, don't worry. I will take care of this matter!"

Xu Zhitian did not know what he was thinking. He said it out of nowhere. In fact, Xu Zhitian regretted saying this sentence in less than a second after he finished it. He patrolled the village in the middle of the night. There were also rumors about the strange "resurrection" of the dead bodies. Let alone at night. Thinking about it now, Xu Zhitian felt a chill down his spine.

However, since he had said it, it would not be easy to take it back. Xu Zhitian was also a kind of person who had to suffer for his face.

"Young man, can you really do it?"

The village chief's face was full of fear. To be honest, When he heard that Xu Zhitian was here to solve the strange situation in the village, his excitement was indescribable. However, when he heard that Xu Zhitian wanted him to patrol the village in the middle of the night, he became worried again. After all, Xu Zhitian didn't belong to the Mu Village. He's the chief, and he can't explain it to anyone.

Xu Zhitian was already a little scared. After hearing what the village chief said, a thought flashed through his mind and he came up with a good idea.

"Village chief, the precondition is that I need the help of two people. See if there are any bold people in this village. Send them to patrol with me at night. If something really happens, we can take care of them more or less. Plus, there are more people than us!"

Xu Zhitian was serious at first, but gradually he became mischievous. As long as the chief agreed to his request and had two more people on patrol at night, Xu Zhitian had nothing to be afraid of.

"Can it work? I'm afraid... something really happened..."

The village chief hesitated. He did not know whether he should agree or reject Xu Zhitian's request.

"Ah, don't worry, village chief. Leave this matter to me. I promise there will be no problem!"

Xu Zhitian's courage grew. He had two people accompanying him anyway. In order to complete the mission, he had no choice but to do so.

"Alright! There are two brave villagers in the village. I will bring them here. You guys can have a good discussion."

After saying that, the village chief pushed open the door and walked out. For a moment, Xu Zhitian was the only one left in the living room.

"Lord System, is there any difficulty level for this mission?"

When the chief's footsteps had completely disappeared, Xu Zhitian dared to ask the system.

"No!"

These two simple words dispelled Xu Zhitian's wild thoughts. He had thought that this mission would be divided into different levels, such as a simple one star, and the most difficult one would be five stars. The difficulty of the mission ranged from one star to five stars.

"Then do you think I can successfully complete the mission?" Xu Zhitian asked again.

"I don't know."

"Pfft! You're a system, how can you not know?"

"Although I'm a superintelligent system that can do anything in the world, this is something that belongs to the future. I don't care about the future. Furthermore, I don't have the ability to predict the future!"

If it was in the past, Xu Zhitian would be angry again when the system talked like this. However, he did not. For some reason, he felt that he and the system had become good friends without him knowing. Besides, the system did not have a body and had a mechanical voice. It was exactly the same as a human. It could talk, think, and more importantly, have its own consciousness.

"Lord System, do you exist in Game World or..."

Xu Zhitian wanted to find out the background of the System, but the System didn't answer his question. Xu Zhitian couldn't help but ask again, but it was still silent. He didn't know if the System didn't want to answer or if it couldn't.

Xu Zhitian could only give up. At this moment, the village chief came back. Behind him were two other people. They should be the two bold villagers he mentioned.
