Corpse

Wu Guyun saw Bai Qiuliang gritting his teeth, not knowing what he had thought of, and immediately stepped forward, "Then I'll trouble Manager He - Master Bai, we are also doing a normal inspection."

He Lizhou finally nodded to Bai Qiuliang, looking very polite, but Bai Qiuliang was so angry that he felt dizzy. "He and I just don't get along!!"

Not to mention that he was caught by Bai Yimei in order to cause trouble for him; why did He Lizhou appear in their copy! ! He also deliberately led the players to look for clues in his courtyard!

The level of their copy is already very high, and very few players can be assigned to this copy, which means that they don't care about the "performance" set by the system. Bai Yimei is willing to give the players some slack, but he, Bai Qiuliang, will not let it go easily. It was this group of people who broke in that made their lives more and more troublesome!

Bai Qiuliang didn't care about what He Lizhou said about checking the endorsement. He followed the players, folded his arms, and sneered to see what they could find.

Although the Bai Mansion is large, the children still live together. Passing through a small garden, you will reach the courtyard where Bai Qiuliang used to live.

It's been a long time since I've been here.

The players immediately dispersed to look for clues, and Bai Qiuliang couldn't help but follow them for a few rounds. After the Bai Mansion became a copy, Bai Qiuliang was forced to move to that simple temporary courtyard, and the courtyard became empty.

Even though he knew that the Bai Mansion had changed and his father had changed as well, Bai Qiuliang still couldn't help feeling sad when he saw the scene in his yard. He really didn't expect that his father didn't even order anyone to clean his yard, as if he would never move back again.

He Lizhou saw Bai Qiuliang's expression and realized that this yard had been abandoned for a long time. He was shocked. If Mr. Bai wanted to invite him, it was because he wanted to restore the mansion to its previous appearance. Why didn't he even give Bai Qiuliang an order to clean the yard?

Unless Mr. Bai knew that the owner of this yard would never come back, this yard would be idle in the future, so there would be no need to clean it up.

He Lizhou was shocked by his own thoughts. Could it be that the reason why this copy was haunted was not Bai Qiuliang, but was actually planned by Master Bai?

After the players gathered back one after another, He Lizhou returned to the state he was in after entering the dungeon, and asked the players with a smile if there were any other places they wanted to go.

Wu Guyun didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't come back to his senses. The other players looked at each other, not daring to make a decision. So He Lizhou waited for a while, but no one spoke, so he "made the decision without authorization". "Since this is the case, everyone must be tired, shall we continue tomorrow?"

After he finished speaking, he led a group of players out of Bai Qiuliang's yard. Bai Qiuliang had come here with them in the first place. After the players left, he had no reason to stay here, otherwise he would be judged as violating the rules by the copy, so he followed behind reluctantly.

On the way back, they still had to pass through the small garden. He Lizhou probably saw that the player team was very silent, so he casually explained the layout of the Bai Mansion, "This garden separates the residences of the three masters, the master, the young master, and the young lady. To the east is the courtyard where the master lives."

As soon as He Lizhou finished speaking, Wu Guyun suddenly looked up and said, "Manager He, we have seen the courtyards of the young master and the young lady. Now let's go and see where the master lives. After all, we are here to protect the safety of the master."

He Lizhou seemed a little hesitant, "But the master ordered that no one should get close to him, even the servants who were supposed to sweep the floor didn't go."

Wu Guyun was unsure at first, but after hearing what He Lizhou said, he became more determined to go, so he nodded heavily and said, "Manager He, please take us there."

He Lizhou felt relaxed. He didn't know what was going on with this group of players. Wu Guyun was the only one who could handle the situation on his own. Fortunately, Wu Guyun heard the hint in his words. However, he pretended to be embarrassed. After a long time, he sighed, "Okay, you have a point. The safety of the master is more important."

So everyone changed their route in a mighty manner, leaving Bai Qiuliang with a confused look on his face. Other players had entered this dungeon before, but none of them had approached Master Bai's residence because they were stopped by the original steward. However, despite this, the players still resolved the issues in Bai's mansion and left the dungeon smoothly.

Bai Qiuliang originally thought that He Lizhou was on the side of the players, but now he took the players to a place that had nothing to do with the dungeon, which made Bai Qiuliang unable to guess He Lizhou's thoughts and wonder what he was trying to do.

If Bai Yimei was here, even if he was afraid of his sister, he would still have someone to discuss things with. However, Bai Yimei chose to leave him at home while she went out to take care of the business. How could he deal with He Lizhou alone?

Bai Qiuliang turned around twice and decided to follow to see what tricks He Lizhou was playing. However, he lost him in a short while. Fortunately, this was his own yard and he knew the way. When he arrived in front of his father's yard and asked, he was told that no one had ever been there.

Bai Qiuliang: "..."

He Lizhou and the others were actually taking the same route, but in order to make it easier for the players to perform, he slipped away halfway, giving the players time to sneak into the yard and search.

He Lizhou thought it was about time, so he walked out of the garden and returned to Mr. Bai's yard. What he didn't expect was that Bai Qiuliang was still standing in front of the yard waiting for him.

This is bad.

He Lizhou glanced inside Mr. Bai's yard. The group of players were probably trapped in the yard and had no way to get out.

Just as he looked over, he caught a player's head and quickly hid behind a tree.

He Lizhou: ...

The player who was hiding in the same place as Wu Guyun couldn't help but look at Wu Guyun, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "Will Manager He help us?"

Wu Guyun shook his head. Everything Manager He did was indeed beneficial to them, but he was an NPC in the dungeon after all. No one knew when he would turn against them and he could not be fully trusted.

At this point, He Lizhou could only provide cover for them, so he walked forward and asked in shock, "Young Master, why are you here?"

Bai Qiuliang ignored him and looked behind him with a gloomy face. He Lizhou knew he was looking for the player, so he spread his hands and said innocently, "We got separated."

Bai Qiuliang didn't believe He Lizhou's lies. In his opinion, He Lizhou was full of lies and had fooled his sister into believing that she trusted him so much. So he looked around in the direction where He Lizhou came from and finally came back with a confused look on his face.

"You really got lost? Are those people idiots? They could get lost just by following you?"

He Lizhou didn't know what to say, so he could only smile. Just when he was planning to trick Bai Qiuliang into going to the garden to "find" the players together, an angry shout suddenly came from Master Bai's yard.

“Who are you!”

This loud sound echoed in everyone's ears, and He Lizhou's heart skipped a beat. It was the player who did not hide well and was discovered by Mr. Bai.

Sure enough, when they rushed into the yard together, Mr. Bai's dry big hands tightly clamped the neck of a player.

He Lizhou felt that something was wrong and was about to step forward to explain the player's identity, hoping to gain a chance of survival. However, Mr. Bai was not a talkative villain. He exerted great force with his hands and strangled the player to death in front of a group of people who rushed into the room.

Mr. Bai raised his head, his cloudy eyes swept over He Lizhou and Bai Qiuliang, and then fell on the group of players behind them.

"I don't care who you are, whether you are a distinguished guest of the Bai Mansion or an invited gentleman, you are not allowed to enter my yard. Once you enter——"

He threw the player's body aside, "This is what happens!"

The players who heard the sound and followed He Lizhou in immediately felt a chill in their hearts. The lack of casualties in the past few days had indeed made them careless. Now that they thought about it, many of their actions in the past two days had violated the rules of death and they could be killed by NPCs.

Wu Guyun looked at the player with his head tilted on the ground and recognized his face, so he secretly glanced around at the other players around him to confirm the number of people.

The other players were all here, but when she brought everyone in, she clearly instructed them to work in groups of two.

In other words, there should have been two players discovered by Mr. Bai. One of them pushed this person out as a scapegoat and ran back to join the main force.

Wu Guyun would not feel at ease if such a player remained in the team, so when he returned to his residence tonight, he immediately asked everyone to identify their partners.

Working in groups of two, one player was soon isolated.

Wu Guyun clenched the knife in his hand, "Han Chengyin, what's going on between you and Liang Xiu?"

Liang Xiu was the player killed by Mr. Bai.

Han Chengyin lowered his head and spoke after a long while, "I know I can't hide it from you. It was indeed me who pushed him out at the critical moment of life and death, but if it were you, wouldn't you be able to do the same?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "I have a wife, children, and parents at home. I can't die. My whole family depends on me to make money. I have been missing for three years. I can't die."

Wu Guyun listened to his explanation in silence and said nothing more. "Everyone, please tell us what clues you have found."

Being ignored by Wu Guyun, Han Chengyin cried and laughed, "I did nothing wrong! I just want to live!"

He ran out of the house and quickly disappeared into the night.

A player in the room asked Wu Guyun's opinion quietly, "Should we call him back?"

Leaving alone in the night was a sure sign of death.

Wu Guyun glanced at the player who made the speech indifferently, "Next time, I have no objection if you go and die for him."

So no one mentioned the matter again.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Wu Guyun was the first to take out something from his pocket, "I found it in Master Bai's yard."

That small section of finger bone was still covered in dirt and looked quite old.

Soon, another player spoke up and said that he had found the skull, but was unable to take it away because it was too big.

Wu Guyun asked about the skull and guessed that it belonged to a middle-aged man, which did not match the owner of the finger bones. The finger bones were very thin and belonged to a woman.

This proves that there were not two dead people in Young Master Bai’s yard.

"Is this the player's body?"

Wu Guyun was unsure, so he didn't answer.

Each copy has a different way of dealing with player corpses. Some copies will directly turn the corpse into bones, while others will just throw the corpse away like this until it turns into a pile of bones.
