Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad
Chapter 664 - 662: The Way to Leave
After solving the BUG on Yan Tong, Lu Heng turned his attention back to the Blood God Temple.
Time rewinds to seven days ago...
When Tie Xiong carried a coffin back to the mountain top with Diego, Yang Qingshu and Marco immediately surrounded them.
"Is this the coffin of that monster?"
Marco looked up and down, feeling that this coffin looked identical to those of the villagers they encountered earlier, showing no special features.
"Of course! Why would I lie to you?"
Diego replied with a mischievous smile.
"Qingshu, come over and help. Let’s both lift the lid and see what’s inside!"
Tie Xiong ignored Diego’s words and waved at Yang Qingshu.
"Okay, Brother Tie!"
Yang Qingshu walked to the other end of the coffin upon hearing this.
The two stood at the head and tail of the coffin, grabbed the top lid, and pushed it sideways with force.
"Squeak..."
With a tooth-aching sound, the coffin lid was pushed open by the two of them.
Marco and Kaine quickly crowded around the coffin.
Before they could look inside, they were hit by an extremely pungent stench.
"Ugh!"
Kaine and others felt their stomachs churn and vomited on the spot.
Although Marco didn’t puke, his green face clearly indicated that his stomach was fiercely protesting.
"Sizzle... Sizzle..."
Just then, white smoke emerged from inside the coffin, accompanied by sounds like boiling oil.
Tie Xiong and Yang Qingshu immediately looked down into the coffin.
Inside lay a corpse, bloodied and mutilated.
Its appearance looked no different from the villagers of Stone Temple Village earlier.
As the Blood Corpse exposed to the air, it quickly began to dissolve and evaporate.
In just a few seconds, more than half of the Blood Corpse had melted away.
"This isn’t right!"
Seeing this, Diego immediately frowned and murmured.
"What isn’t right?"
Yang Qingshu asked curiously.
Diego licked his lips and said solemnly, "If the borrowing ritual succeeds, the remaining corpse should decay, not melt away like this!"
"Unless..."
"Unless what?"
Tie Xiong asked with a frown.
"Unless during the borrowing ritual, she chose not to occupy a body but to possess one!"
Diego replied candidly without hiding anything.
"Possess?"
Yang Qingshu repeated the word under his breath after hearing this.
"Yes, possess!"
Diego nodded forcefully and continued, "She must have chosen to attach part of her soul to someone who left."
"This way, she can gradually occupy the person’s body and won’t need to perform any borrowing rituals anymore."
"If possession means no need for borrowing rituals, then why didn’t you choose possession?"
Tie Xiong asked, puzzled.
Hearing this, Diego grinned and said, "Possession requires patience to slowly corrode the mind and body of the possessed person."
"If there’s resistance during this process, the efforts will be in vain, and the soul will disperse."
"Rather than take this enormous risk of possession, it’s better to lure more people to perform the borrowing ritual."
This explanation seemed reasonable.
After hearing it, Tie Xiong and Yang Qingshu nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Yang, what are you talking about?"
Marco, who couldn’t understand Dragon Country’s language, scratched his head in frustration seeing the three talking so much.
Yang Qingshu shrugged helplessly and translated Diego’s words for Marco and the others.
Marco and the others were very cooperative, none of them raising any objections.
Because they were busy trying to remember this information at the moment.
"Yan Tong’s situation needs to be resolved quickly."
"Otherwise, we don’t know what kind of trouble the villager she possesses will cause."
Tie Xiong looked at Yang Qingshu and said softly.
"Mm!"
Yang Qingshu nodded slightly, then turned to Diego and asked, "Tell us, how can we leave Stone Temple Village?"
"Unless you are willing to take me with you."
"Otherwise, everyone will stay here forever!"
Diego smiled malevolently, laying out his terms.
"Okay!"
Yang Qingshu agreed without a second thought.
Diego ignored Yang Qingshu’s nod and instead looked directly at Tie Xiong.
Evidently, he knew Tie Xiong was the one who could make decisions.
Tie Xiong hesitated for a moment before nodding, "We can take you out, but you must stay with us at all times and never leave our sight."
"Sure, sure!"
Getting Tie Xiong’s nod, Diego smiled brighter.
Yang Qingshu rolled his eyes in frustration, realizing he had no authority.
"Tell us, how do we leave here?"
He asked again, irritated.
"To leave here, actually it’s quite simple..."
Diego said with a proud expression, "Behind the temple, there’s a bamboo forest."
"You just need to dig a pit in the bamboo forest and bury yourself inside."
"Then close your eyes, hold your breath until you’re about to die, and you can leave Stone Temple Village!"
"What the hell, such a bizarre method?"
Yang Qingshu couldn’t help but curse after hearing this.
Who the hell would think of leaving this way?
To dig a pit and bury yourself?
And hold your breath until you’re dead?
What kind of twisted idea is this?
After hearing it, Tie Xiong frowned.
This way of leaving Stone Temple Village was simply too outrageous!
He even suspected if this was something Diego deliberately made up.
Diego seemed to notice his thoughts and shook his head with a smile, "I’m not lying to you!"
"Stone Temple Village is a place of the living dead, and wanting to leave naturally requires putting life at risk..."
"Alright, let’s give it a try!"
Tie Xiong reluctantly nodded at last.
Yang Qingshu gave Diego a deep look and said nothing more.
Then, he turned around and told Marco and Kaine the way to leave Stone Temple Village.
Upon hearing this ludicrous way to leave, Marco and Kaine were bewildered.
Once they came to their senses, they looked at Diego with skeptical eyes.
But despite their doubts, the method still had to be tried.
Led by Tie Xiong, they bypassed the temple and reached the bamboo forest Diego mentioned.
"Stop standing there idly, start digging!"
Yang Qingshu broke a bamboo stalk to use as a tool and began digging into the ground.
Fortunately, the soil in the bamboo forest was very soft and easy to dig. In less than ten minutes, Yang Qingshu had dug a pit for himself.
Seeing this, the others followed suit, breaking bamboo and started digging pits...
