Chapter 202 [(*^▽^*)]

Moreover, since the two sides are acting separately, perhaps Zhang Jian and the other four will get together and go to the back mountain to dig up graves? After all, after communicating with Lin Zhoushan, they also know that Gu Wenya has a problem.

Even if Lin Zhoushan says we can't dig, how can players be so obedient?

Xue Rui was right. After they left, Zhang Jian suggested to the remaining people, "Shall we go take a look at the back mountain?"

Ji Yan knew what it meant to take a look, so she had no objection. The others were even more eager to find other clues, including Kong Shubai and Qi Miaofan.

And so the five of them left the Lin residence through the back door, making sure to avoid the servants as they did so, since being seen might cause trouble.

The servants of the Lin family are terrified by the deaths of so many people last night. Now, whenever they have nothing to do, they will gather together and hide in their rooms.

Therefore, the entire Lin residence appeared very deserted.

When they arrived in the village, they found that the villagers were still living the same way as before, which showed that they were unaware of what had happened inside the Lin residence.

When they arrived near the back mountain, they had only gone halfway up the mountain when they saw many servants from the Lin family digging pits in the distance.

Zhang Jian then remembered something: "It was about burying those twenty people."

Ji Yan: "Then what should we do? There are several of them over there. If we walk this way, we'll definitely be seen."

Wang Xiangran: "Are you stupid? We can go up from another direction."

Kong Shubai said, "Let's go this way. The weeds are so tall here. Although the situation is unclear, we won't be discovered."

Everyone saw the road on the other side... or rather, there was no road at all, just a large patch of weeds. What if there were potholes in it?

However, in order to avoid being seen by the servants of the Lin family, they still took this path and passed through the weeds. In this way, they managed to arrive at the Lin family's ancestral graves without incident.

result……

"Distinguished guests, what brings you here?"

When Zhang Jian and the other four saw a servant from the Lin family guarding the ancestral graves, they were completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Why was there someone here?

Could it be that Lin Zhoushan knew they were outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, so he sent people to guard them in advance?

Wang Xiangran said with a smile, "Of course we came to take a look. After all, a man-eating ghost has appeared in the Lin family's residence. We wanted to come to the ancestral graves to see if there's a problem somewhere."

This explanation made sense, so the servant didn't press the matter further.

Fortunately, they removed all the weeds that were stuck to their bodies before they arrived at the ancestral graves; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to explain themselves.

There was nothing they could do; since someone was guarding the grave, they couldn't just dig it up in front of that person. They just glanced at Gu Wenya's grave a few more times.

I couldn't see anything different about it; it looked just like any other grave around there.

Having found nothing and gained nothing, they were about to leave when Zhang Jian suddenly paused, wondering why they were being so rule-abiding.

There's only one servant here at this ancestral gravesite, which means they can just kill him and dig up the grave without even having to leave.

Zhang Jian and the others exchanged glances with their backs to the servant, then used their bodies to block their hands and made a killing gesture. After a moment of surprise, everyone thought about it carefully and surprisingly, no one objected.

Since that's the case, Zhang Jian didn't continue walking back, but instead turned around and returned to the vicinity of the ancestral grave.

"Is there anything else, distinguished guests?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Jian quickly approach him. Before he could back away, he felt a chill on his neck and instinctively covered it.

But he found his hands soaked in warm blood; his throat had been slit!

"Hehe..."

He couldn't speak at all, and could only stagger a few steps away while clutching his neck before collapsing to the ground, his eyes wide open in death.

Wang Xiangran: "Alright, he's dead. Can we dig up his grave now?"

Zhang Jian said, "Let's dispose of the body first, so that if there's too much blood, the traces won't be completely cleaned up and might be discovered."

Wang Xiangran: "You're right, shall we bury the body first?"

Of course they had no objection. In fact, they wanted to put the body in Gu Wenya's coffin, but after thinking about it, they felt that it wasn't quite appropriate...

Huh?

It seems quite suitable?

Zhang Jian, "How about throwing it in a coffin?"

Wang Xiangran: "That's what I think too."

Ji Yan said, "I have no objection. This is quite convenient. If we anger the vengeful ghost, it will come looking for us on its own, saving us the trouble of searching for it."

Kong Shubai and Qi Miaofan both nodded repeatedly; this method was indeed very good.

When they dug up the grave, they found a coffin that had been nailed shut.

Wang Xiangran exclaimed, "Wow, there really is a problem!"

Ji Yan, "Should we remove the nail?"

Without further ado, everyone took a nail and quickly removed it. After opening the coffin, they found a skeletonized corpse dressed in a woman's clothes.

"It doesn't seem like anything special. Is it really a vengeful ghost?"

"Don't forget it's broad daylight; even if it were a vengeful ghost, it wouldn't appear."

Zhang Jian waved his hand, "There's nothing inside. Let's move the body over here; it'll save us the trouble of washing it and digging a pit."

And so, they threw the murdered servants of the Lin family into the coffin, hammered the nails back into place, and buried the coffin again.

Lin Leyou watched their behavior from afar, his lips twitching. This was something only players would do, after all, this was just a game instance for them.

Why go through all the trouble if you can save yourself the trouble? Just because it's not suitable?

From the players' perspective, there's no question of it being inappropriate.

Lin Leyou even felt a faint sense of anger. Of course, it wasn't that he was angry himself, but rather that there was a subtle connection, as if someone else's anger was being transmitted to him.

It should be Lin Yang'an's mother, Gu Wenya, who also became a vengeful ghost.

Lin Leyou doesn't know where Gu Wenya is now. He has never seen her before, but judging from this hint of anger, she probably knows what these players have done.

These five players will definitely be the first to die tonight; I wonder how many will survive.

It's even possible that tonight will be the final battle.

Lin Leyou is somewhat looking forward to it.

According to the process, the weakling ghost should appear first, and after he is killed by the players, the ghost that Gu Wenya has transformed into will directly erupt and kill everyone and the players in a fit of rage, thus ending the dungeon.

But exceptionally skilled players will always find a way to survive until they beat the game.

Lin Leyou suddenly remembered the golden short sword that Xue Rui had taken away. This short sword must be the key prop and weapon to kill Gu Wenya's vengeful ghost.

I never expected that I would be the one to hand it over to Xue Rui, and I don't know if he can use it.

Lin Leyou watched them restore the grave to its original state and carefully clean up all traces before leaving, naturally returning the way they came. As for the weeds they knocked down, that was none of their business.

Lin Leyou saw them happily return to the Lin residence, also through the back gate. Surprisingly, their return journey did not disturb the frightened servants of the Lin residence.

As for when Lin Zhoushan found out that the person who looked after the ancestral graves had died, it was when he didn't see the person return in the evening and sent someone to check that he found out the servant had disappeared.

Lin Zhoushan immediately suspected these players, but when he asked some servants, no one had seen them leave the Lin residence.

Without evidence, Lin Zhoushan couldn't question these guests, as he was still counting on them to help him kill the vengeful ghost.

After the vengeful ghost dies, he'll figure out how to kill these disobedient guests. They're wary of the ghost, but not of people, so he can tamper with their food.

Everyone is dead, so no one will know about this.

As darkness fell, there was no sunset at all; the sky was completely obscured by dark clouds, and the light was dissipating at a visible speed.

The lanterns in the Lin residence were lit once again.

Tonight, it was pitch black, and even the places where lanterns were hung were dimmer than the previous nights, and even seemed to reveal a faint bloody glow, which many people noticed.

The servants of the Lin family, as well as Lin Zhoushan, had all hidden themselves away early on. Only nine players were still wandering around outside the entire Lin family mansion.

Lin Leyou had previously informed Xue Rui of Zhang Jian and the others' actions, and Xue Rui immediately realized that they had angered the vengeful ghost Gu Wenya.

So tonight, this vengeful ghost will definitely... definitely come and cause trouble for these people. The four of them should make a quick getaway so they don't get involved.

After all, the four of them had decided to stand with the vengeful ghost and eliminate the Lin family.

Lin Leyou floated on the side, and he could already see the inconspicuous black mist in the distance. Because of the darkness, none of the players noticed it.

Lin Leyou immediately sent a message to Xue Rui, who didn't even need to read the message to know that something was wrong.

This was a pre-arranged code; sending a message to Xue Rui meant for them to run.

While Zhang Jian and the others were looking elsewhere, Xue Rui immediately gave a signal to the three on his side. The three understood immediately and followed Xue Rui as if they were observing the other side. When they got close to the corner, the four of them quickly slipped away.

In this way, the whole process took less than ten seconds. By the time Zhang Jian and the others realized it, Xue Rui and the other three had already disappeared.

Zhang Jian, "Didn't you see them?"

Ji Yan pointed in the direction the four of them were walking, "It seems like they went that way."

Wang Xiangran leaned over for a look, "Is it over there around the corner? I'll go take a look."

As he walked in that direction, he called out, "Xue Rui? Are you guys over there?"
