Survival: King Picking Game

Geng Xizi spoke in a soft tone while stroking the girl's slightly curly long hair.

--"I am back."

The head of Yejian Village is a middle-aged man with a simple appearance.

His serious expression and majestic appearance made him deeply trusted by the villagers.

...but this situation, not so long ago, began to change.

A sudden plague swept the village.

It started with one family and quickly spread.Until now, most of the villagers in the village have been infected with this plague.

... Among them, even including himself.

Although various rescue and preventive measures have been taken, such as burning all the furniture in the patient's home and cremating all the corpses... However, there is still little effect.

As for any medicine or other treatment methods, they all seemed to be ineffective.

This village was originally far away from the town at the bottom of the mountain, and the transportation (in this era) was not developed, so there were few contacts and connections, and it was a bit self-sufficient.

Even the doctors hired from outside with a lot of money shook their heads and expressed helplessness in this situation.

Until now, no one has dared to come to this place.

The plague is still spreading, like an invisible demon, taking away lives one by one, and human power seems to be unable to stop it.

The only thing that seems to be fortunate is that the disease brought about by this plague is not that fierce in terms of lethality.

Patients with mild symptoms mostly just have a cough.And even in the later stage of the disease, the patient will generally struggle for three or four days before he really dies.

But in fact, this is not only unlucky, but also cruel torture...

Every night, the wailing voices of those dying patients echoed in the village, just like the souls of sinners under torture in hell, uttering unwilling cries.

People simply cannot sleep well.

Not only because of this voice, but also because of these patients who were tortured by pain and watched death come, they saw their own future in the near future...

An extremely hopeless ending.

It's almost as if there is a will in the dark, manipulating the spread of the plague, the purpose is to slowly torture the people in this village...

until they break down.

And this uneasy atmosphere has long shrouded the village.Everyone can notice it.

The string under heavy pressure is gradually tightened, and it will break due to the last bit of weight...

His prestige as the village chief has already been shaken to the point of shame.

"..."

Sitting on his desk and chair at home, he sat blankly with a sad face, but he couldn't think of any way to change the current situation.

……

At this moment, there was an unhurried knock on the door.

The village chief's heart tightened.

...Could it be... another villager showed symptoms of the plague?Or are there new dead to be cremated?

No matter which one it is, it will only make everyone's mood more depressed and heavy.

He sighed and walked towards the door.

……

"Hello, Mr. Village Chief."

——As a result, the people outside the door were not villagers who came to report the funeral.

It was a young man wearing glasses.

He stepped on the threshold, pressed the door forcefully, and stared at the village chief condescendingly.

The young man was wearing a rather mysterious coat with black and white patterns, which was a bit similar to the costume of the priest in charge of offering sacrifices in a shrine.

Although his appearance was ordinary, the light shining from under the glasses carried an inexplicable chill and deterrent power.

Stared at by such oppressive eyes, the village chief couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The young man's smile was very gentle, and he stepped into the village chief's house with a calm demeanor.

"...you... who are you?"

The village head leaned on the table behind him for support, calmed down, and stammered nervously.

"Me? Just a wandering warlock."

Li Pingan adjusted his glasses while talking nonsense.

"My name and identity are not important. The key is..."

He pointed outside.

——"Mr. Village Chief, do you want to solve this plague as soon as possible and save the village and the villagers?"
