My chuunibyou self: All my fantasies have come true

Cao Lihao nodded, "I think we can give it a try."

In fact, they didn't even need to say it.

That evening, villagers began to guard the temple.

They even borrowed tents from an old hunter, and the three of them took turns on duty.

He was holding a shovel, pitchfork, and other farm tools.

Unlike outsiders, the villagers were completely unaffected by the cold night winds.

Seeing this, everyone felt much more at ease.

It was late at night when Lu Jing heard noises outside.

He got up and looked into the distance.

There were lights in the distance; it seemed there was a fire somewhere.

You can faintly hear people begging for mercy.

Lu Jing couldn't hear clearly because they were too far apart.

"No...no...it wasn't me..."

"It really wasn't me... Please spare me."

“I didn’t burn down the mountain god temple…it must have been someone else. Ask the others. I’ve been at home the whole time.”

Immediately afterwards, the man's voice turned into a wail.

Then, the sound disappeared.

Those villagers weren't just talking; they really went to settle accounts with the villagers surnamed Li.

It looks like they even resorted to vigilante justice.

"........."

The next day.

When the group arrived at the mountain god temple, everyone was stunned.

Something strange appeared in front of the mountain god temple ahead.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be several wooden stakes that had been erected there at some point.

There was a person tied to each of the wooden stakes, a total of four, three of whom were men and one was a woman.

They all looked to be in their forties or fifties, and were all naked, tied to wooden stakes, their bodies covered in wounds and blood.

Some people are missing an eye, and some have lost several fingers.

Another person had stopped breathing, his head drooping, looking utterly miserable.

Even more terrifying, there were two ferocious wolfhounds crouching nearby, greedily devouring the corpse of the dead man.

Seven or eight villagers stood in front of the wooden stake, holding various kinds of weapons.

Upon seeing the crowd arrive, he immediately put on a smiling face.

"You've come! Thank you for your hard work in this cold weather."

"My family is slaughtering a pig, and we'll be having pork for dinner tonight. Everyone must come!" another villager said enthusiastically.

"Yes, yes! Sauerkraut stewed with pork, his wife's cooking is so delicious."

"Are there enough oxcarts? Should we find another one?"

The villagers all had simple, honest smiles on their faces, and they looked warm and friendly.

However, to Lu Jing and the others, this smile seemed unusually strange.

The surrounding environment was filled with a depressing atmosphere, as if it were suffocating.

A chill ran down my spine, and my heart was filled with doubt and unease.

They stared intently at the four people hanging from the stakes, a hint of fear and shock in their eyes.

These four poor fellows have clearly suffered inhuman torture.

The body was twisted and deformed, covered in blood.

His expression revealed despair and pain, a stark contrast to the smiles of the villagers.

"them...."

One of the men said in a deep voice, "They are the murderers who set fire to the temple, and they must pay the price for their actions!!"

Cao Lihao nodded, but his smile was forced.

The girls in the group looked away, unable to bear to watch.

After leaving the mountain god temple, the group headed up the mountain.

Because of the fire, they had to go and cut down more trees.

“They… they were really ruthless. I think one of them is already dead,” Miao Miao said.

"Serves them right!! Who the hell told them to set fire to the temple we built? They deserved it."

"By burning down our temple, they are murdering us; it's either you die or I live!"

Fan Zhiyu disagreed.

"But...but this is illegal."

The speaker was a young girl; this was her first time participating in a dungeon.

Fan Zhiyu snorted coldly, "Law? You can go find the police."

If we could find a policeman, we wouldn't need to build this damn temple.

The little girl was speechless, choked by her words.

"But why did those villagers burn down the mountain god temple?" someone asked curiously.

"What else could it be? It's probably an obstacle set up for us by the dungeon, otherwise building the temple would have been too easy for us."

That's a more reasonable explanation.

Wait until they come back after they've finished cutting down the wood.

The four people on the wooden stake in front of the temple were all dead at this moment.

After being tortured all night, I was already covered in wounds.

It's the dead of winter again, and they were stripped naked for a whole day and night.

It would be strange if he didn't die.

The villagers refused to move the body, saying that it would deter other people with ill intentions.

Whether Zhen intimidated others is unknown, but he certainly intimidated Lu Jing and his group.

In less than a night, the corpse had frozen into an ice sculpture.

With four human-shaped ice sculptures placed there, anyone with a weak mentality would be terrified at first glance.

Although everyone had seen the body, they were not a serial killer.

I still feel quite uncomfortable with this scene.

"........."

So during the break, Cao Lihao organized everyone to wander around other parts of the village.

There may be other undiscovered rules.

Lu Jing and Miao Miao formed a team and headed towards the center of the village.

Miao Miao stretched and said:

"This mission is so boring. I prefer to just get straight to the point! I'm not good at things that require thinking."

Lu Jing smiled.

"By the way, is it true that you participated in more than ten dungeons?"

“Really,” Lu Jing said.

"You're not kidding?" Miao Miao raised an eyebrow.

Lu Jing hummed in agreement.

"So, why did you join the organization?"

"Because I'm handsome," Lu Jing said without hesitation. "And what about you?"

"Me? Of course, it's because of the captain."

"Captain Cao Lihao?"
