Wrong choice, he had made the wrong choice.
He shouldn't have come to Xianyang!
As expected, he was too cautious. He shouldn't have rushed into Mei Family Village without hesitation. Was it because the burden on his shoulders was too heavy?
"Being cautious is not wrong." Yagyun Zi's voice suddenly sounded. "Whether it's rushing into the Mei Village or returning to Xianyang Palace, you have to choose one of the two paths. Moreover, you're not an omniscient and omnipotent deity. You can't judge which path is right before you act. Therefore, in the crossroads of fate, being cautious is the right choice."
"What's more, you still have the chance to choose again."
Whoosh — —
Tang Hao took a deep breath. That's right, just like Amethyst had said, the progress of the mission could drop, but of course, it could also rise back up. Rather than saying it was a drop, it was more like a hint to him which choice he should make.
He could use this as a reference for his strategy.
"Come, let's go back!"
Tang Hao waved his hand, turned around, and headed back to Mei Family Village.
Yu Ji and the old priest looked at each other, not knowing what he was doing back and forth. Although Mei Family Village wasn't far from Xianyang City, it was still very tiring to walk on two legs. However, seeing Tang Hao's serious face, the two of them didn't complain.
"Wait." Suddenly, Tang Hao stopped again.
"What now?" Yu Ji finally couldn't hold it in anymore and glared at him.
"Take a precaution." Tang Hao reached into his pocket and took out a pen and paper … Actually, he took it out from his favorite folder. Reaching into his pocket was just a feint, but when the old priest saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned, because the pen and paper in Tang Hao's hand were things he had never seen before.
On the other hand, Yu Ji was already indifferent. In any case, she had seen even stranger things.
Tang Hao lowered his head and gathered his divine power to draw stars on the paper. A moment later, he drew a piece of talisman paper, and then moved his mouth, as if to input his voice into the talisman paper. Finally, he folded the talisman paper into the shape of an airplane and gently threw it towards Xianyang City.
The paper plane flew in midair. Due to the isolation of the godly energy, most people could not see it. It flew steadily into Xianyang City. Then, Tang Hao retracted his gaze and looked down at his phone … Mission progress: 9%, no change.
Tang Hao immediately heaved a sigh of relief. If the paper airplane flew into Xianyang City, it would cause the progress of the mission to drop. Then, he would have to take it back immediately. However, there was no change now. In other words, the reason for the drop in the progress was not because he returned to Xianyang City to report the news, but because he was far away from Mei Village?
In that case, the Mei Family Village must have something related to the historical process … No, it must be related to the jigsaw puzzle of completing humanity's continuity. He needed to personally come into contact with it!
"Let's go." Tang Hao walked forward again.
"What was that?" Yu Ji asked.
"Messenger pigeon."
"Messenger pigeons are not like this," the old Taoist muttered in his heart.
…
After going back and forth, when Tang Hao and the other two arrived at Mei Family Village again, it was already evening. The sky in March darkened very quickly. Looking over, the entire village seemed to be covered in a thick layer of gray fog, faintly revealing a sense of inauspiciousness.
Tang Hao knew that this might just be his psychological effect. After all, he already knew in advance that there was a problem in Mei Family Village. Then, if the three of them went in, would it be equivalent to walking into a trap?
He took out his phone. The mission progress was still at 9%.
It did not get worse, but it did not return to the original progress either. Perhaps some things had been missed in the end.
Of course, there was no point in regretting it now. He had made a choice, whether it was right or wrong, he had to bear the consequences himself.
Then, the three of them walked towards the village.
"There are no guards," Yu Ji said in a low voice. During the few days they lived in Mei Family Village, there were at least two people in charge of guarding the village entrance. They took turns to be on duty 24 hours a day. However, at this moment, there was not a single person in sight.
"And there is no smoke," the old Taoist added. When they came over at noon, they could still see some smoke. However, at this time, it was supposed to be the time for every family to light a fire to cook, but there was no smoke at all. It was a little strange.
Compared to this, Tang Hao looked at the pillars on both sides. His talisman paper was pasted there, but the talisman paper was stained with something black.
Tang Hao tore them off and looked down at them. He frowned.
The old Taoist leaned over and said in a deep voice, "It's blood."
The black dirty blood had neutralized the effect of the talisman paper.
"Looks like we have to be careful." Tang Hao composed himself, held the talisman paper in his palm, and walked into the village. "Let's go find Mei Shan first."
The village was pitch black, as if someone had used a pen to paint it with a layer of ink. Only a few families had oil lamps lit in their houses. Tang Hao soon arrived in front of Mei Shan's house and gently knocked on the door.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." Mei Shan's voice came from the house, followed by a series of footsteps. Then, the door opened. Seeing Tang Hao's figure, Mei Shan was stunned at first, then he smiled and bowed. "Sir, you're finally back."
"You don't seem very happy that I'm back."
"Uh …" Mei Shan paused for a moment, then revealed a respectful expression. "Sir, you must be joking. It is our village's honor that you can stay in Mei Shan Village and protect the safety of the village. However, I thought that you would be investigating the vampires in the neighboring village and would only be back in a few days. That was why I was a little surprised when I saw you."
"Is that so? Then I've wronged you."
"I wouldn't dare."
"The vampires in River Village have been dealt with. It's not a big deal …" Tang Hao kept staring at Mei Shan and smiled. "But when I entered the village just now, I realized that there were no guards at the entrance. What's going on?"
"Sir, it's because the talisman you gave me, for some reason, was splashed with blood. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to protect it in case there were vampires invading at night. The guards lacked the protection of the talisman, so I temporarily withdrew them."
"Oh, then how did you know that my talisman would lose its effect after being splashed with blood? Don't tell me you've studied Taoist techniques? "
"This …"
"Moreover, since you knew that there was a possibility of vampires invading after the talisman lost its effect, shouldn't you have sent more guards or gone outside to find Taoist priests to protect the village? But you did nothing, and instead withdrew all the guards. What's the reason for this? "
"I …"
"Because you feel that it doesn't matter whether there are guards or not, right?"
"I …"
"Ah Yu, kill him!"
With a cold shout from Tang Hao, Yu Ji immediately floated over. Her five fingers were like hooks as she grabbed towards Mei Shan's neck.
Mei Shan's expression changed abruptly. Seeing that Yu Ji was already in front of him, he reflexively raised his right hand to block, and with a bang, Yu Ji grabbed a few pieces of cloth in her hand, while Mei Shan was sent flying, directly crashing into the wall of the hall. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his right arm was twisted like a fried dough twist.
If an ordinary person were to suffer such a blow, even if they didn't faint from the pain, they would most likely scream out in pain. However, Mei Shan only took a moment to stand up from the ground with a smile on his face as he looked at Tang Hao. "When did you find out, my lord?"
As he spoke, he shook his right arm, and in the blink of an eye, it had returned to normal.
Tang Hao shook his head, "I didn't discover it, I just had some suspicions about you, so I wanted to test you. If you were just an ordinary person, facing Ah Yu's killing move, you definitely wouldn't have been able to react in time, and she would have stopped at the right time.
Without waiting for Tang Hao to finish speaking, Yu Ji blinked her eyes, "Didn't you tell me to kill him? I didn't plan to stop, but wanted to directly crush his neck."
Tang Hao: "..."
The old priest sighed, "Fortunately, Mei Shan is a vampire, otherwise, a person would have died in vain."
"Cough cough …" Tang Hao coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "In short, since you can still laugh, then your identity is naturally obvious. Mei Shan, do you have anything else to say?"
Mei Shan cupped his hands, as if he was very impressed, "My lord is wise, you really have foresight."
Tang Hao felt that this guy was mocking him, and sneered: "Hmph, of course I have foresight. What Mei Shan, Mei Shui, Mei Lin, Mei Shu? None of you people with the surname Mei are good people. If you're not a liar, then you're a liar!"
Yu Ji and the old priest looked at Tang Hao at the same time, thinking: You speak as if you're not a liar.
"Sigh, it seems that my disguise is not that good, but my lord seems to be a little arrogant." Mei Shan shook his head and laughed, "Since my lord has already suspected me, then you shouldn't have entered the village without permission. Do you know how many people there are in Mei Family Village?"
"127 families, 431 people." Tang Hao had specially investigated a few days ago, so he knew this number very clearly.
"My lord is wise. Then, if my lord were to make these people his enemy, would he still be able to walk out of Mei Family Village alive?"
Mei Shan laughed, looking as if he had a card up his sleeve. Tang Hao did not react, but the old priest was shocked, "You … Could it be that you turned everyone in Mei Family Village into vampires?"
"Priest, that's not right. It was not me who turned everyone in Mei Family Village into vampires, but the entire Mei Family Village completed the evolution of life. This is the salvation of mankind."
"Bullsh * t!" The old priest was furious, "You are simply treating human life as grass!"
"Hmph." Mei Shan sneered, "Ordinary people who only pay attention to the surface of life. How shallow are you? How could someone like you understand the great ideals of that lord … But it doesn't matter. In any case, not long after, you will also become our companions. Go!"
As soon as Mei Shan said this, two figures suddenly dashed out from both sides, pouncing towards Tang Hao.
These two people were a man and a woman. The woman was around 30 years old, and the man was 15 or 16 years old. They were Mei Shan's wife and son.
But now, they were no longer humans, but vampires, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, revealing their ferocious appearance.
Tang Hao sighed. He had seen Mei Shan's son before. He was a very honest young man, and even said that he would join the Qin army in the future. He was filled with ideals, but now, he was turned into a vampire by his own father.
Then …
"Have a safe journey."
Tang Hao's eyes instantly became indifferent, and he suddenly took out a gun from his pocket.
Bang!
Bang!
The sound of the gun rang out, and the bullet with divine power directly pierced through the heads of the two people.
Plop! Plop! They fell down.
