Horror Movie Set: This extra is too good at playing the tricks.

Chapter 69: Everything is just right?

"boom!"

This time, there were no fancy techniques, just pure emotion.

Ye Jianguo's two red and black fists slammed directly into the two skulls of the two-headed monster.

"Snap—Pfft!"

The sounds of bones cracking and flesh being squeezed rang out simultaneously.

The two-headed monster, which had been so arrogant just moments before, didn't even have time to utter a sound before it was struck like a wooden stake by a giant hammer, with most of its body embedded in the rock.

The two heads were now indistinguishable, a rotten mess of red and white, with the white, bony forks piercing through the flesh, stubbornly pointing to the sky.

This time, the "ideological education" at the physical level has been done well, and the monster should not be able to get up and cause trouble for a while.

"call……"

While Ye Jianguo was in mid-air, he used the reaction force to flip over, and a thick cloud of black mist suddenly surged out from beneath his feet, catching his falling body.

Even so, the enormous impact force still reflected up along the arm.

"Click!"

Ye Jianguo landed, staggered a couple of steps before regaining his balance, his two arms hanging limply at his sides, broken off.

But his face remained expressionless, as if what had been severed were not his hands, but just two insignificant withered branches.

"Comrade Adan," Ye Jianguo pointed to his left foot with his chin, where black energy swirled, "this 'lady' has been searching for you with great difficulty. If it weren't for her leading the way, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it in time for this 'cross-village law enforcement'."

Lu Dan leaned against the stone wall, the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss making his vision blur.

Looking at Ye Jianguo's miserable yet forced appearance, he shakily reached into his pocket and pulled out two regenerated candies: "Open your mouth."

With a flick of his wrist, Lu Dan sent one candy precisely flying into Ye Jianguo's mouth, while he chewed and swallowed the other one himself.

A warm current instantly exploded in his body, and the excruciating pain of flesh and blood being torn away from his left shoulder and left arm began to ease. Granulation tissue began to wriggle, and the wounds quickly scabbed over and stopped bleeding.

"Thanks." Ye Jianguo exhaled a breath of stale air. Although the broken bone had not yet been set, at least the excruciating pain had subsided somewhat.

Just then, the dark shadow that had been wrapped around Ye Jianguo's left ankle found its target and eagerly emerged, transforming into a black line in the air before instantly disappearing into Lu Dan's left ankle.

The familiar cold touch returned, and a chilling aura crept up the spine, carrying a hint of dependence and grievance—like a runaway child who has finally found his way back home, and his "roommate" has returned.

Lu Dan moved his ankle, and the surge of strength gave him confidence again.

He looked up at Ye Jianguo, their eyes met, and without a word, the doubt in each other's eyes was almost overflowing.

Two Ye Jianguos, two villages, and this inexplicable plot.

"It's getting dark." Ye Jianguo looked up at the last rays of the setting sun about to disappear on the horizon, and said meaningfully, "The work with the masses here is too complicated. We need to find a quiet place to have a meeting first."

He then gestured with his chin to the other side of the ridge: "After all, once we get over this mountain, it seems our workload will double again."

"I know." Lu Dan pulled out a piece of paper with a poem written on it from his pocket and waved it in his hand. "After all, this paper says 'Two tigers cannot share one mountain,' let alone two villages, right?"

"Let's go back inside first."

Da Lu had recovered by now. His face was ashen, but he still insisted on carrying the unconscious Zhang Min on his back.

After all, they saved me, so I can't let two people who are more seriously injured than me do hard labor, can I?

The group helped each other, like defeated soldiers who had just retreated from the battlefield, and staggered down the mountain.

When we returned to the village, Shuangshan Village was as quiet as a huge graveyard, with every household's doors and windows tightly closed, and there wasn't a sound.

The wind blew through the old locust tree, as if warning them something.

I pushed open the familiar courtyard gate, went into the main room, and locked the door.

Although this broken lock is only good for honest people and not for ghosts, it can at least give people a little psychological comfort.

Chen Hua was also carried back by Ye Jianguo and Lu Dan and thrown onto the bed; he is still unconscious.

The three people sat around a square table with a missing corner, with a dim kerosene lamp lit in the middle.

"Tell me about it."

Lu Dan broke the silence first, slamming a bloodstained black diary on the table: "This is the 'census data' that Da Lu worked so hard to obtain. Take a look."

Several heads huddled together, flipping through a notebook filled with records of sins by the dim light.

Hallucinogens, twin bacteria, noise experiments, rejection reactions.

One shocking word after another gradually pieced together the truth.

"This is insane!" Ye Jianguo couldn't help but curse after reading it. "This isn't just simple feudal superstition; it's downright endangering the people!"

"So the so-called 'gods' are just a bunch of drug-controlled lunatics, plus two pitiful children forcibly stitched together?" Ye Jianguo leaned back in his chair, his severed arm hanging limply, his eyes sharp. "And the owner of this notebook is the mastermind behind all of this?"

Lu Dan tapped his fingers on the table, his gaze deep and unsettling: "Team Leader Ye, is it possible that we're cleaning up someone's mess?"

Ye Jianguo frowned.

Lu Dan turned to look at Zhang Min lying on the bed, his eyes playful: "Team Leader Ye, did you encounter anything over there?"

"Except for Comrade Chen Hua, they are all extraordinary 'commoners'." Ye Jianguo shook his head, "and they are all the kind of 'commoners' with a very strong appetite who are hungry."

"That's right." Lu Dan lowered his voice, drawing a circle on the table with his finger. "This side is daytime, and that side is nighttime. We've been active during the day since we came in..."

He then pointed to Zhang Min: "When I asked the 'residents' to come out, I tricked her. She knows the other village better than this one, so the 'census' will definitely go more smoothly."

Da Lu swallowed hard. "Brother Adan, what do you mean?"

"Oh dear, I wonder how many more censuses there will be? There seem to be quite a few surveys lately." Lu Dan feigned a sigh, dropping a bombshell that made the temperature in the room seem to drop several degrees.

If they weren't among the first batch of designers, then they were very likely cannon fodder sent to fill the gaps.

The existence of someone like Zhang Min must hold the key clues to passing the game.

Just as everyone was still processing this bombshell, the annoying crackling of electricity rang out again: "Zzzzz—"

"Attention villagers, it is now 8:55 PM. There are 5 minutes until the arrival of the gods." The villager's female voice echoed in the empty village.

Lu Dan blew out the kerosene lamp, and darkness instantly engulfed everyone.

"No matter what happens tonight, no matter who we become, please remember, it's all for the census."

Lu Dan lay back on the hard bed, gripped his left ankle, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

I must find a way to get Zhang Min to speak up by herself tomorrow morning.
