She searched the entire village, inside and out, and even managed to catch a crazy player who was in a bad mental state and wanted to go home to cause trouble for his teammates. She completed quest two (3/4), but Yu Ling just couldn't find Huang Xiaohua, who was supposed to be showing off her prowess. She couldn't help but mutter:

"That's strange, why did Huang Xiaohua disappear?"

Following behind Yu Ling, Huang Xiaohua, who was obediently watching the handsome older brother tease his companion, blinked after hearing this: "Hmm? Is he calling me?"

"Little Flower~ I'm here—"

A melodious echo drifted through the air—the usual special effect when Huang Xiaohua appeared before people. The little girl in the floral dress flashed past Yu Ling and instantly teleported in front of her.

"It didn't disappear—"

Yu Ling: Why are you, an NPC, speaking in such a rhyming way?

Huang Xiaohua's fighting ability is only enough to bully newcomers. She probably couldn't even easily take down An Yu, who was a bit clever in the last mission. Although Yu Ling was a little shocked that her soul wasn't working that well, she quickly swept the opponent away from head to toe.

She lacks all three souls and seven spirits, and her intelligence is not fully developed. She's a silly, easily fooled ghost, but... she's so young.

Can a ghost shrink after turning into a ghost?

"Why don't you go hunt down the players?" Yu Ling couldn't bear to lie too much to someone as easily fooled as her, so she asked directly, "Or are you planning to hunt me down?"

Upon hearing that the handsome older brother had misunderstood her, Huang Xiaohua shook her head so hard it was almost unrecognizable.

"No, I just want to follow my brother."

Finally, she added one more sentence.

"The other bad guys are too ugly."

They're too ugly. She doesn't even want to see these people die. She can just throw out a curse to fool them. It's much more interesting to follow the handsome older brother.

Besides, she doesn't necessarily have to kill all the strangers. After all, she's still young, and it wouldn't be very polite to wipe out all the players indiscriminately.

Huang Xiaohua's silly answer made Yu Ling sigh and rub her forehead. She said:

"You're just planning to follow me like this forever, and you don't want revenge anymore?"

"revenge?"

Huang Xiaohua repeated it.

Then, to her horror, she realized that she had completely forgotten about the important matter of avenging herself!

"Yes, I want revenge!"

After uttering that chilling roar, Huang Xiaohua's floral dress also took on a worn and tattered appearance, making the transformation effect quite convincing. He would have believed it if Yu Ling hadn't been completely unaffected by the wind.

Huang Xiaohua's enemy was someone she herself didn't see clearly before she died, so finding the real culprit couldn't start with her from the beginning. If players start their investigation from here, they will definitely lose completely.

But who is Yu Ling?

He is an NPC, a player undercover agent, with two sets of intelligence, and he is in full power. Even if the crappy system is unusable, it will have no effect on him. With such a powerful monster, dealing with the mini-boss in the novice quest is a piece of cake.

With a simple wave of her hand, Yu Ling pulled Huang Xiaohua, who was floating in mid-air, down to the ground, and the horrifying special effects vanished without a trace.

Because Yu Ling killed three players in one go, none of them got to witness Yu Ling's incredible power.

In Huang Xiaohua's eyes, this handsome older brother was not frightened by her appearance. Instead, he kindly asked her if she was unhappy after becoming a ghost, or if she was bullied by other ghosts. He even said he would lead her to find the murderer who killed her.

Huang Xiaohua, who had never experienced the harsh realities of society, was moved to tears. Just based on Yu Ling's feelings for her, she would never hurt the handsome brother! Nor would she let anyone else bully him!

Holding the answer key, Yu Ling coaxed Huang Xiaohua like a child, leaving her completely bewildered. The process was quite perfunctory. After only about ten minutes of "deduction," she directly led Huang Xiaohua to the real murderer's house and considerately knocked on the door for her.

"Who is it? Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night!" The person inside cursed as they got out of bed. Judging from the voice, it was a girl. She opened the door irritably, intending to give the person who disturbed her rest a good scolding, but then she saw... wow! What a handsome young man, like a fairy descended from heaven! The words that were on the tip of her tongue were immediately swallowed back down.

"Young man, you look unfamiliar. Who are you looking for?"

This girl's appearance... well, I can only tell at a glance that she's a woman; it would be impolite to describe her any further.

But Huang Xiaohua didn't know her at all! Was this older sister the big bad guy who killed her?

Huang Xiaohua initially couldn't believe that a strange older sister would harbor ill intentions towards her, but since Yu Ling had brought her here, how could she be wrong? No way!

Beauty is justice? Bah! Yu Ling is such a good person, she would never deceive her. Huang Xiaohua popped her head out from behind Yu Ling, and sure enough, the girl's face suddenly turned into a palette of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, which frightened her so much that she retreated in panic.

"You... how are you still alive?!"

Without Yu Ling restraining her, Huang Xiaohua began to float in mid-air again, her feet off the ground. She replied in a drawn-out tone:

"Already...dead—"

If Yu Ling weren't around, Huang Xiaohua might have taken some time to ask this older sister why she attacked her. But she couldn't leave a vicious impression on the handsome older brother, so she decided to just get rid of her!

With Yu Ling's unconventional "help," Huang Xiaohua unleashed a powerful burst of strength, directly attacking the girl who was originally proficient in some supernatural magic, blasting her into nothingness.

Yu Ling wanted to go inside to take a look, but Huang Xiaohua, as if possessed, turned all the yin energy into a gust of wind to block Yu Ling from getting close. It wasn't until she dealt a second blow to the pile of slag, turning it to ash without leaving a single drop of blood, that she blew the yin wind aside and came to report her results to Yu Ling.

The instant the murderer died, Huang Xiaohua felt her soul lighten, as if she had fulfilled some obsession and was ready to be reincarnated. Only then did she realize that the murderer Yu Ling had mentioned was real, and panic still lingered in her eyes.

She already knew about the world after death, but she had never experienced the world after reincarnation, and she was afraid.

"Congratulations on your successful revenge, Xiao Hua." Yu Ling was also very satisfied to see that Mission Three was completed, and she was also gratified that Huang Xiao Hua had the opportunity to be reborn.

I hope she can restore her lost soul in her next life.

Huang Xiaohua reluctantly held Yu Ling's hand: "If I had known earlier that she was really the murderer, I wouldn't have killed her."

Yuling:? ? ?

You little brat, so you didn't believe me at all the way here?!

"Don't be stubborn, staying here will only lead to your slow demise."

Huang Xiaohua was sent away by Yu Ling, and Mission 3 was successfully completed. However, the clues and related characters disappeared, and the players had no chance to identify the murderer. Mission 1 could also be considered a success.

Now, besides the second task, there is still one spot missing. Yu Ling only needs to successfully escape the village in the player's task.
