Chapter 101 Yu X Xu

Yu Qian has always felt confused.

She didn't understand why she came here after her death, and she didn't know what the meaning of going through all this with Xu Weiyi was.

The "substantial reward" Dina mentioned after completion was probably the "huge remuneration" that Xu Weiyi mentioned, but she was a dead person and had no desire for money, so she didn't care at all.

So why? Is her role just to help Xu Weiyi make money?

It's a bit too tragic.

"How did you die?"

After a long silence, Xu Weiyi finally asked the expected question.

"Car accident." Yu Qian pretended to be relaxed. "Didn't anyone notify you?"

Xu Weiyi turned his face away and said, "What does it have to do with me?"

She lowered her eyes, the emotions in her eyes were buried in the shadows, but from her tone, she seemed a little depressed.

Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

She had thought Xu Weiyi's first reaction would be to say something like "God has his way" and give her another heart attack. He knew she was sad, but he still had some conscience.

"I'm not telling you this to get your sympathy," she explained. "I'm just saying that this situation might have fulfilled the 'separation by death' criterion."

Xu Weiyi said "Oh", and seemed not to be comforted by her words.

The third round of tests was more difficult than expected.

The eerie castle was like a huge maze, with narrow corridors crisscrossing each other. The weak candlelight flickered, dimly illuminating the dried bloodstains on the stone walls.

Behind the exquisite furniture may be hidden a terrifying monster, and the lifelike murals may be smiling with ill intentions. There are hidden dangers everywhere, and you will fall into the trap of ghosts if you are not careful.

The air was chilly, making people feel cold all over.

"Let's go our separate ways."

After being targeted by ghosts for who knows how many times, Yu Qian finally spoke.

After entering the castle, the wound on his arm became more painful, and the black mist covering the surface became thicker, to the point where it could no longer be ignored.

It is likely that because of this wound, she became the target of ghosts.

All the ghosts they encountered along the way showed more interest in her and would attack her first without hesitation every time.

At first, Yu Qian thought this was a disguised form of protection, and that Xu Weiyi was taking advantage of the situation. But as more and more ghosts followed, she gradually began to realize that the situation was not good.

If she hadn't been there, there wouldn't have been so many ghosts attracted. Moreover, even if the firepower was temporarily concentrated on her, once she died, the ghosts would turn their attention to Xu Weiyi.

Xu Weiyi should have noticed this a long time ago, but perhaps because of his help to her in the second round, he didn't dare to bring it up.

Yu Qian decided to be a good person and told it herself.

"don't want."

Xu Weiyi's refusal was so concise and clear that it successfully made Yu Qian dazed for a second.

She slammed the iron fence behind her, temporarily blocking out the ghosts that were chasing her. Then she looked at the girl walking beside her and asked, "Do you want us both to die here?"

Perhaps to increase the fun, the design of the haunted house is not a one-sided massacre. There are many mechanisms and weapons hidden in the castle, allowing them to fight against the ghosts.

But after all, there was a huge gap in strength, and both of them were injured to some extent.

Xu Weiyi pursed his lips and continued walking forward, "It won't work anyway."

After going through all kinds of hardships, the gorgeous wedding dress has become tattered and sticks to her thin body in a messy way.

Her eyes, reflecting the firelight, seemed particularly bright. "What if there's a chance of a turnaround?"

Yu Qian sighed lightly and chose to compromise temporarily.

Xu Weiyi's words seemed to be blessed, and before long, they really encountered a turning point.

"I saw the map."

Xu Weiyi stared at a certain place and whispered.

In front of the two of them was a spacious room.

Through the window on the door, she saw a complete map of the castle hanging in the most conspicuous place on the wall. There was a conspicuous red mark on it, and a golden key was drawn next to it. It was obviously the location of the gate key they were looking for.

Yu Qian responded, "I saw it too."

Since entering the castle, they have been running around like headless flies, exhausted and unable to spare the energy to figure out where the key is.

The situation would be much better if we had a map and some guidance.

only……

Yu Qian's gaze shifted and fell on the huge creature in the room.

It was a tall ghost, almost reaching the ceiling. It held a sharp sickle in its hand, with dark red bloodstains still on the sharp blade.

The ghost walked back and forth in the room as if on patrol, and the blade in its hand occasionally scratched the ground, making a teeth-grinding sound.

After their embarrassing escape, the only weapons left in their hands were two axes.

Xu Weiyi said, "We have to find a way to divert it."

As they approached the room, the ghosts that were chasing them vanished, just as if the birds and beasts in the forest had encountered the king of beasts, and they all scattered.

The cold air was chilly and made people's hair stand on end.

The ghosts in front of them were obviously guarding the key, which was a crucial item. With only the weapons in their hands, they had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, so they could only use stratagems to defeat them.

Yu Qian leaned against the edge of the window, trying to look inside. "Want to go in and take a look?"

The window was very small, leaving a large blind spot. Within the current visible range, she couldn't find a way to break through.

Xu Weiyi was silent for a moment, "Or else, look around..."

She originally wanted to say that she would go and look nearby for any tools or weapons that might be useful, but before she could finish her words, the ghost in the room seemed to have noticed their presence and suddenly turned around to look at them, grinning and revealing a mouthful of fangs.

It strode towards the door, and in two or three steps it was right in front of it, then reached out and pulled hard.

The wooden door, which was not very strong to begin with, was pulled down like a piece of paper and thrown to the ground next to it with a muffled sound.

Yu Qian gritted her teeth and said, "Go inside!"

After saying that, she slipped into the room, and Xu Weiyi followed closely behind her.

There's no point in running back, as we'll probably be caught up in no time. It's better to take a risk and try to get the map.

Yu Qian ran straight towards the location on the map, but the blade approaching from behind forced her to dodge. She staggered two steps and regained her footing in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

Although she dodged quickly, the sickle still cut a deep gash on her calf. Blood gushed out and pain spread instantly.

She heard Xu Weiyi's voice, "Look to the right!"

Yu Qian looked in the direction Xu Weiyi said.

Her eyes lit up, and for a moment she even forgot the burning pain in her legs.

In the corner of the room, there is a spacious iron cage with metal bars as thick as a bowl. They look like they are made of the same material as the sickle in the ghost's hand, so they should be very sturdy.

There was a heavy lock on the cage, with the latch open.

There is only one way to solve the current predicament.

That is to lure the ghost into a cage and then lock it from the outside to prevent future trouble. If you don't lock it up, even if you get the map, it won't take long for it to catch up.

"Go get the map," Yu Qian shouted, "I'll try to lure it in."

Xu Weiyi looked at the wound on her leg, wanting to say something but stopping himself, but in the end he just gritted his teeth and nodded.

Although attracting ghosts is very risky, Yu Qian was injured just trying to get the map. The two things are the same, there is no point in picking one over the other.

Yu Qian endured the pain and walked towards the cage, waving the axe in her hand at the ghost, trying to attract its attention.

The wound on his calf was pulled, leaving drops of blood on the ground.

However, the opposite happened. The ghost seemed to have a specific program and would prioritize chasing people who were close to the map, so it ignored Yu Qian and turned around to pounce in the direction of Xu Weiyi.

Xu Weiyi moved quickly and took the lead in tearing down the map on the wall. However, before she could feel happy, a chilling chill spread behind her.

Just like a living creature's instinct to avoid danger, she dodged to the side and avoided the sickle behind her.

"Xu Weiyi, give me the map!"

The situation was urgent, and Xu Weiyi had no time to think and subconsciously followed Yu Qian's instructions.

She crumpled the map in her hand into a ball and threw it towards Yu Qian.

The map drew a parabola in the air and fell accurately into Yu Qian's hands.

The next second, Yu Qian ran towards the cage.

"Be careful!" Xu Weiyi suddenly had a bad feeling. She shouted at the figure, "What are you going to do?"

Yu Qian didn't even turn around, "Remember to lock the door."

Xu Weiyi suddenly felt something was wrong, so he flew over and grabbed the ghost's calf, then swung the axe in his hand hard at its knee. Unfortunately, the ghost had thick skin and flesh, so he didn't cause any damage.

"Are you crazy? Yu Qian!"

Before she could finish her words, Yu Qian had already crawled into the cage and turned around to face her.

The ghost was indeed very obsessed with the person who stole the map. Even though Xu Weiyi's entire weight was dragging on its legs, slowing down its speed a lot, it still insisted on walking towards Yu Qian.

"You can see that my arms and legs are injured. I will die sooner or later. It's better to give up on me here."

Yu Qian looked at her calmly, "Once it's in the cage, lock the door and I'll throw the map out through the gap in the bars."

Xu Weiyi blurted out, "No! Come out now!"

My heart suddenly contracted, as if it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and the pain was so severe that I couldn't breathe.

"I'm not going out anyway."

Yu Qian seemed unable to see her emotions and simply ignored her words, continuing on her own, "There is no other way. If you can't do this, then I will die here in vain."

Xu Weiyi stared at her blankly, his mind going blank.

She didn't realize she was crying until tears streamed down her face.

She knew Yu Qian was right, but she couldn't accept this reality and had no choice.

The current situation didn't even give her time to be sad. She watched the ghost shake her off and enter the cage, then gave Yu Qian a satisfied smile.

Like a wild beast, greedily sizing up its cornered prey.

Yu Qian shouted, "Lock the door!"

Finally, the sound of the lock being locked was heard.

She curled her lips and threw the map out with force.

The ghost paused, then turned around and shook the cage door vigorously, trying to pick up the map. However, the metal fence was indestructible, and even if it chopped it with its sickle, it had no effect.

"Go!" Yu Qian shouted at the people outside the door, "What are you waiting for?"

Xu Weiyi woke up as if from a dream, took a few steps back with red eyes, and then picked up the map on the ground. She looked at Yu Qian deeply, then turned around and ran out of the room.

At this time, the ghost in the cage also realized that he had been tricked, and turned around and glared at the culprit.

Yu Qian suddenly felt happy.

It’s like the feeling from the bottom of my heart when I finally made a big deal after putting a lot of effort into it.

She died again, allowing Xu Weiyi to leave with the clues safely.

Pretty good deal, isn’t it?

The blade fell, and the vision turned blood red.

Before losing consciousness, Yu Qian's mind once again appeared the image of Xu Weiyi.

The girl with a bright face was wearing a bright wedding dress, basking in the sun, and smiling at her with her face turned sideways.

If this wedding were real, Xu Weiyi would be a very beautiful bride.

Yu Qian felt a little regretful.

The music and wedding vows echoed in my ears, and everything seemed so beautiful and dreamy.

"Ms. Yu Qian, are you willing to marry Miss Xu Weiyi?"

"For richer or poorer, in sickness or health, love each other and never leave each other, until death do you part?"

Death will not separate us.

Yu Qian thought about it and closed her eyes.

On the contrary, death brings us closer.
