Zhou Wenyan didn't know how Shen Dongqing came to this conclusion, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He pulled Shen Dongqing's hand and coaxed, "Let's get out of the dungeon first, okay?"
Shen Dongqing nodded sullenly.
The two of them went straight to the pond in the center of Four Water Town.
Skeletons were placed on the shore of the pond. There were adult women and young children, but most of them were buried under the mud.
Shen Dongqing: "Do you want to dig them all out?"
"No need." Zhou Wenyan took out a small paper man from his pocket and threw it out.
The palm-sized paper man grew in the wind, and by the time it landed in the pond, it was already half the height of a person. It bent down and diligently dug out the skeletons in the mud.
The little paper man picked and only dug out the skeletons that hadn't fully developed. It was more efficient than the other players.
After a while, the little paper man dug out all the skeletons of the children and neatly placed them there. There were roughly forty to fifty skeletons.
It corresponded to the forty to fifty natives of Four Water Town.
Their faces were covered with a layer of white paper and their mouths were stuffed with mud. Even after turning into skeletons, they didn't rest in peace.
Shen Dongqing asked, "What about the others?"
Even after digging out so many skeletons, there were still many skeletons in the mud.
Zhou Wenyan: "These are the women of Four Water Town."
They were abducted and sold here. They were unwilling and resentful. After giving birth to a daughter, they were thrown into the pond. After giving birth to a son, they didn't have a good life either. They were sold like objects.
Zhou Wenyan heard the faint sound of crying in the wind.
Those little girls wanted to protect their mothers, but they chose the wrong method and let their mothers fall into the pond.
Because they felt that they were safe here.
These resentful ghosts tempted the non-mainstream and beautiful girls not to harm them, but to protect them.
"These …" Zhou Wenyan paused. "When the time comes, I'll send them to the afterlife."
Shen Dongqing said, "Oh." He walked forward and pinched a corner of the white paper.
It was unknown how long this piece of white paper had been covering him, but it was stuck tightly to his skin and flesh. It was very difficult to peel it off.
Just as the white paper was completely peeled off, the skeleton let out an angry roar, nimbly got up, and directly jumped into the small alley. Then, a burst of mournful sounds came from inside.
A native fell out of the window. A small skeleton could be seen lying on his neck, constantly gnawing at his flesh.
It was not until the native had lost all signs of life that the skeleton stopped moving. It turned into a white light and disappeared into the sky.
Shen Dongqing raised his head and watched the white light dissipate.
Then, a fierce wind blew, and the white paper covering the skeletons rustled, like fallen leaves, and was swept up into the air.
The skeletons buried deep underground were resurrected at this moment.
They scattered in all directions, wanting to take back their "lives".
Shen Dongqing threw down the sticky white paper. "That's it?"
Zhou Wenyan listened to the howls ringing in his ears and said, "Yes."
There were three ways to clear this dungeon.
Firstly, the natives killed all the university students and outsiders. Secondly, the university students successfully survived for seven days and left this place by bus. Thirdly, they solved the story behind the Four Rivers Town and released all the ghost brides from purgatory.
Now, they should have completed the third way.
