Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...
Chapter 53 You're a Perfect Match
"He's dead already?" Jiang Liyue was also a little surprised, and looked down at Hou Wu's corpse carefully.
His eyes were wide open, filled with anger and resentment.
His face was contorted with pain, and there were two long streaks of bloody tears. His face was so pale that it was faintly tinged with blue.
It has indeed completely lost its breath.
A white pendant shaped like a monster's tooth fell from his palm.
The teeth were stained with a little blood, but like the ruby next to Zhang Yuan last night, they were also cracked and broken.
Jiang Liyue clicked her tongue in disdain and moved her foot away: "So fragile?"
Everyone couldn't help but recall what Hou Wu had gone through.
First, he was pinned to the ground and choked half to death by Zhou Yulin's strength, and then he was kicked to the ground by Jiang Liyue.
Then came a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
Even if Hou Wu were a real monster, let alone someone possessed by a supernatural being, he wouldn't be able to withstand it!
Compared to Hou Wu, Jiang Liyue seems even more eerie...
Yuan Le and Peng Shan, who witnessed the whole thing, moved a little further away from Jiang Liyue.
Even though they now know she is indeed human, can a normal human being face a monster and its corpse without batting an eye?
She looked a bit abnormal, and her demeanor was somewhat sinister. In such an environment, one would always feel a little scared.
When monsters are around, they are busy fearing them; once the monsters are dead, Jiang Liyue becomes the terrifying one.
Jiang Liyue could certainly sense their fear of her, but she didn't care much.
She merely glanced at everyone, and even Ma Lulu, who always liked to get close to her, subtly revealed a hint of fear.
Ma Lulu actually knew in her heart that Jiang Liyue had helped them kill Hou Wu, but she saw Jiang Liyue smiling as she watched Hou Wu die up close.
There are some discrepancies between this and the image of the beautiful and powerful boss that Ma Lulu had in mind.
Only Ji Lin seemed somewhat calm, maintaining her expressionless demeanor.
Seemingly having discovered something interesting, he observed everyone's expressions with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
[I'm speechless. Are these people afraid of Yueyue?]
Am I the only one who enjoys being feared by everyone? That's what proves strength!
Hehehe...Queen...Queen Yueyue...hehe
[Please stop drooling, I'm scared.]
The scene fell silent again. Everyone looked at Jiang Liyue's expression and found that she still had a relaxed smile on her face.
Peng Shan then tentatively asked, "Miss Jiang, didn't you say that we could leave Blood Moon Villa after the monster dies?"
As he spoke, he looked out the window. The sky outside seemed even darker, and he could barely see anything outside.
Clearly, it wasn't safe to leave from outside, and the phone still showed no signal.
The light reaching inside the house was even more limited, making the entire living room dark and with low visibility.
Although it wasn't to the point of needing to use flashlights, the somewhat dim room, coupled with Hou Wu's bloody corpse on the floor, cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.
“Killing the monster will indeed allow us to leave Blood Moon Villa, but…” Jiang Liyue paused, then continued, seeing the horrified expressions on their faces—
"Who said there's only one monster?"
Jiang Liyue hadn't thought that this dungeon would end so easily after Hou Wu was dealt with.
The original owner of Blood Moon Villa had amassed an enormous collection, many of which possessed magical powers.
For example, Alice's paintings are not particularly impactful.
However, the ruby crown that Zhang Yuan obtained and the beast tooth necklace that Hou Wu dropped both clearly possessed the power to bewitch people.
It is precisely because they possess these powers that they become targets for monster possession.
The bad thing that Alice is talking about is clearly not anything that is currently known.
This instance will not end until that key artifact is found.
The thief that Zhou and Lin mentioned might also be the key.
"You mean we can't leave yet?" Peng Shan asked, his emotions clearly nearing a breaking point.
He grabbed his hair haphazardly with both hands and spun around in place, yelling, "What the hell is this place?!"
"Peng Shan, calm down. Haven't we survived this long already?" Yuan Le kindly comforted him.
His emotions clearly made the atmosphere even more oppressive.
Jiang Liyue wasn't in the mood to comfort an NPC in the dungeon. She just glanced at her and looked away: "Let's look for clues before night falls. It will only be more difficult once night goes by."
As she spoke, she bent down and casually picked up the animal tooth necklace from the ground, then walked to Zhou Yulin's side: "Honey, let's go."
"Clues? Clues? What clues are we looking for in such a big place!" Peng Shan shouted.
Zhou Yulin looked at him with displeasure, her gaze icy.
But Peng Shan was completely unaware of what was happening. After shouting, he glanced out the window, his eyes red: "No, we're just wasting time here. I need to find my way back!"
As he spoke, he rushed straight to the gate, opened it, paused for a moment in the face of the thick fog outside, and then ran out.
"Hey!" Yuan Le ran to the door, but Peng Shan's figure was already out of sight.
As fewer and fewer people arrived, he dejectedly took off his glasses and repeatedly wiped them with the corner of his clothes.
Ma Lulu tugged at her pigtails, looking at Jiang Liyue expectantly: "Sister Yueyue..."
Jiang Liyue is neither a savior nor an omniscient god; she cannot help anyone in the instance.
I don't want to help others either.
The only person I helped in the last instance was Huang Linye, and that was because of the big villa he promised.
However, she was indeed more tolerant of girls and kindly explained her speculation: "If the key artifact is not found, then anyone could be possessed, and anyone could be a monster."
Therefore, the quest "Find the monster among you" will never show a success message.
After all, no one knows if someone will turn into a monster in the next moment.
However, there might be a way to complete the quest "Leave Blood Moon Villa" without killing any monsters.
This is, after all, a C-level dungeon, so it shouldn't be that difficult for players. The following task is clearly designed to give players an easier way to complete it.
"I understand." Ma Lulu seemed to understand Jiang Liyue's meaning, and looked at her with some emotion, her eyes brimming with tears as she pouted, "Sister Yueyue, I'm sorry."
"Huh?" Jiang Liyue blinked twice in confusion, wondering why she suddenly apologized.
Then Ma Lulu suddenly rushed over and hugged her.
The moment Zhou Yulin's expression turned cold, he quickly let go: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. You're not a pervert at all, you're really a good person."
Jiang Liyue: "..."
This is the first time I've received a "friend card," and it's from a girl! It sounds weird; it doesn't sound like a compliment.
Zhou Yulin stared intently at the hand that Jiang Liyue was holding, his gaze almost burning through Ma Lulu's skin.
Ma Lulu was still talking to Jiang Liyue with tears in her eyes: "Sister Yueyue, let me tell you, I actually think you and your husband are a perfect match, you're a match made in heaven, you two must stay together forever."
Zhou Yulin's gloomy expression suddenly brightened.
