"Wait a minute..."
Just as "Diego" was recounting the process of borrowing life, Yang Qingshu suddenly interrupted.
Furrowing his brow, he asked in a deep voice, "If you've borrowed a life and reached the time limit, but can't find a new target, what would happen then?"
"Of course, we have to go back to lying inside the coffin!"
"Diego" replied with a helpless bitter smile.
"So, what you're saying is, the villagers we encountered lying inside coffins on the mountainside were those who couldn't find new targets and thus had to stay in the coffins?"
Yang Qingshu continued to ask.
"Yes!"
"Diego" nodded and said, "They also had once borrowed someone else's life."
"But because Stone Temple Village was cursed by the Blood God, it gradually became isolated from the world."
"No strangers came by afterward, so we had no choice but to return to the coffins and endure the temple priest's hunt."
