Lin Leyou had been trapped by his family his entire life. Right after graduating from high school, he was forced to start working to support them, all because he had just gained a younger brother. ...
Chapter 201 [(*^▽^*)]
After Lin Zhoushan had walked away, the nine players began to talk to each other.
Zhang Jian, "Have you discovered anything?"
Xue Rui looked at Zhou Feng and the others, asking them with his eyes whether they should tell them about digging up the grave. After all, judging from their expressions, even if Lin Zhoushan disagreed, they would definitely go anyway.
Zhou Feng then said, "There haven't been any special discoveries yet. After all, we've always been working together, and we went back to our lodgings to rest together last night."
Zhang Jian was silent for a while. What Zhou Feng said was indeed true. Everyone was progressing at the same pace, so no one should discriminate against anyone else.
Ji Yan said, "I have a feeling that the vengeful ghost waited until we left before making its move. Did it know that we were stronger, so it did that?"
Wang Xiangran said, "A vengeful ghost definitely has a sense of powerful people, and it may even have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. It only dares to appear after we leave."
Everyone glanced at him. Was Wang Xiangran praising himself for being so great? Oh no, he meant that all the players present were great.
Fang Hong: "So you mean this vengeful ghost is no match for us, and if we can find it and defeat it in a short time, that will be our victory?"
Wang Xiangran shook his head. "I was referring to last night before it killed and drained so many people. As for whether it's still a match for us now, I don't know."
"As everyone knows, vengeful ghosts do not appear during the day."
At this point, everyone subconsciously glanced outside and found that although it was already bright, there was no sunlight shining on the ground; instead, it was rather gloomy.
Xue Rui got up and went outside. He looked up at the sky, and everyone else came over to him. When they saw the sky covered by dark clouds, their expressions were not good.
Kong Shubai and Qi Miaofan exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes. However, as some sunlight shone down, everyone visibly relaxed a lot.
However, the sunlight didn't last long; it was covered by clouds again after a few minutes. For the rest of the time, the sun would be blocked by clouds from time to time.
Xue Rui: "Today is cloudy. Maybe tomorrow it will be overcast and there will be no sunshine."
Zhang Jian said, "I think... this dungeon is gradually forcing players to clear it quickly, or it could be that they want to die quickly, telling us not to waste time."
Xue Rui: "That's true, but even though it was cloudy during the day, we still couldn't find that vengeful ghost. What do we do now?"
Zhang Jian said, "I don't have much to say. Let's all stay together and not get separated. If we see any vengeful ghosts, we can all attack them together. It will be much safer, and the chances of killing the ghosts will be greatly increased. What do you all think?"
His suggestion is certainly not a problem.
However, this contradicts the decision Xue Rui and the others made before, but they can't just say it out loud in front of the other players.
After thinking it over, Xue Rui nodded. "Then let's get along well from now on."
Before long, some servants brought over a lot of breakfast. "Distinguished guests, this was personally ordered by the master to be made by the kitchen."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they knew that there was a vengeful ghost in the Lin family mansion, they were sure that there was nothing wrong with the food. It was very fragrant, as expected of a chef from a wealthy family, whose skills were truly excellent.
Seeing how much they enjoyed their meal, Lin Leyou quietly drifted away to find Lin Zhoushan and Zhao Anxue. The couple was in the main courtyard, and he saw them as soon as he arrived.
Zhao Anxue's face was filled with fear and unease, as if she were the one who would die at any moment. "Master, what should we do now?"
"It must be her coming to find us. Back then... back then we..."
Lin Zhoushan: "Alright, that's enough. Be careful, the walls may be overhearing!"
Zhao Anxue objected, "Master is criticizing me too. I know what you said to those guests before. After the problem is resolved, you want to send me to see the magistrate and push all the responsibility onto me."
"The master knows perfectly well what really happened back then. You know, she wasn't quite dead when she was buried. When the coffin lid was closed, her eyes were still staring intently at us..."
At this point, Zhao Anxue suddenly burst into tears. She cried sadly while wiping away her tears, looking like a woman abandoned by her husband.
In fact, she really was rejected. When she said those words just now, Lin Zhoushan's gaze towards her had completely changed.
The initial warmth turned into a sharp, cold glint, as if the woman before him was not his lover, nor his wife who bore him children, but a sworn enemy with whom he harbored deep hatred.
However, Zhao Anxue certainly couldn't feel it anymore; she was currently immersed in her grief and wouldn't be able to recover in a short time.
Little did they know that Lin Leyou had overheard their conversation and seen Lin Zhoushan's cold gaze and the murderous intent in his eyes.
This man is indeed heartless. Whoever is valuable can stay in the Lin family. He probably dislikes his sickly son for years.
Therefore, Lin Zhoushan must have known that Zhao Anxue bribed the servants in the mansion to poison Gu Wenya, but he simply turned a blind eye.
He wanted to shift all the blame onto others, while portraying himself as the most innocent party, since he hadn't been involved at all.
He was the biggest victim. He didn't kill his ex-wife; he was unaware of it. He didn't kill the child either; it was his eldest son who did it. He only covered for him slightly afterward.
As for whether Gu Wenya's eyes were open during the burial, how would he know? He didn't see it. Zhao Anxue said she saw it, but that was just her own opinion. Lin Zhoushan didn't admit to anything.
Lin Leyou coldly looked at the couple; one was vicious and the other ruthless, a match made in heaven.
However, Zhao Anxue's previous actions are about to backfire on her. How could someone like Lin Zhoushan let go of Zhao Anxue, who was a potential threat to him through her words?
After learning the true cause of Gu Wenya's death, Lin Leyou thought of Lin Yangxu. He hadn't seen him today either. Was he still hiding in the house?
That shouldn't be the case. After what happened in that house, would they still be hiding there? Or have they moved to another place?
Lin Leyou went to Lin Yangxu's courtyard, but as expected, he didn't see him. There was no one in the courtyard now. Where did he go? Did he move to another courtyard?
Even if he were to change courtyards, he would definitely choose the best one besides the ones he couldn't go to. Lin Leyou searched through the information he had obtained and quickly found one that fit the bill.
He drifted over there, and when he arrived at the courtyard, the sunlight streaming down from the sky was blocked by the clouds. The courtyard was bathed in sunlight all around, but not inside.
However, Lin Leyou didn't notice this. The sunlight today was intermittent and scattered, and he had gotten used to it.
Lin Yangxu was indeed there. Lin Leyou floated in and saw Lin Yangxu frolicking with a girl inside. The two were rolling around on the bed, embracing each other.
He saw it without realizing it, and quickly covered his eyes and retreated. It was so disgusting!
"Sigh... What time is it? Lin Yangxu still has the mind to do this kind of thing."
Thinking about it later, something seemed off. Lin Zhoushan and Zhao Anxue were both planning a wedding for Lin Yangxu, so perhaps the fact that they hadn't had children all these years...
Before, Lin Yangxu might have genuinely just been playing around with women, but today it might not be that. He wants to get the girl pregnant with his child as soon as possible, even if it's just one!
After realizing this, Lin Leyou quickly returned inside and carefully observed Lin Yangxu's expression. Sure enough, there was no enjoyment, only torment!
hey-hey.
Lin Leyou quietly slipped away and left the place. It wasn't appropriate for him to show himself in broad daylight, so he decided to go with Xue Rui instead.
Looking at the sky now, Lin Leyou felt that this instance should end in two days. Time should be running out, and he was sure he could complete his mission.
He might have hesitated a bit before, but now that he has the identity of Lin Yang'an's mother transformed into a vengeful ghost, it's very simple.
After Gu Wenya transforms into a vengeful ghost, she certainly won't have the same limitations as me. Killing others now is probably to enhance her own strength.
Everyone in the Lin family was a target of her revenge, including the players who came to the Lin family. Lin Leyou sighed.
He would then appear and persuade Gu Wenya to at least leave Xue Rui and the other three behind, so that they could complete the mission and earn points as a reward.
Five thousand points? That's not a small amount.
In the previous Werewolf game, not just any player could be selected. Even if you were selected, without the luck you had when you participated in the game, you might not get many points even if you won first place.
Lin Leyou watched as Xue Rui and the others finished breakfast and wandered aimlessly around the yard.
They all knew that no evil spirits would appear during the day, so they could only do nothing.
However, Xue Rui and his friends couldn't sit still and decided to go out and find something to do.
Zhang Jian, "What are you going to do?"
Xue Rui said, "It's daytime now, and no evil spirits have appeared, so there's no need to force everyone to gather together. How about we have dinner together in the evening, and then form teams?"
Zhang Jian nodded, "That would be acceptable."
Xue Rui and the other three left the courtyard and walked outside. Fang Hong whispered, "We haven't told them about digging up the grave yet."
Xue Rui then remembered that they hadn't mentioned digging up Gu Wenya's grave yet, but was it necessary to mention it?
