Others start with a knife; Yue Ya starts by picking up a cat.
He knocks on his neighbor's door to borrow milk powder. The door opens, and a terrifying vengeful ghost emerges from an urn b...
"A cocoon woven of lies?" Zhuang Yan said, "It still sounds a bit abstract, but can I understand that everything that happened in this house was just a lie?"
Yueya collected the key fragments and said, "It can be more specific. It's because Xiao Ming lied to himself. We have to expose his lies before we can leave here."
Yun Yu looked around: "Xiao Ming must be hiding somewhere in this room. Our every move is under his watch."
"So he could hear our conversation," Yue Ya looked into the void and said slowly, "Xiao Ming, listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. Your family members haven't turned into ghosts at all. Their souls have long since left here. The 'ghosts' we killed just now were just transformed by your obsession."
"Shut up!" The young man's angry voice rang out in the room, but it was unclear where it came from.
It's too easy to fall into the trap. After all, he is just a young ghost.
Yue Ya not only didn't shut up, but also added fuel to the fire: "You thought in your heart that if you were at home that day, the things that caused you pain might not have happened, so you didn't want to leave this house after you died. Just like this, it can't eliminate your obsession, so you lured the living in and forced us to reenact what happened on the day of the murder...
"Do you want us to survive and make up for your regrets, or do you want us to fall into misery like you?"
Xiao Ming Ben Ming appeared beside the sofa and looked at Yue Ya sinisterly.
Xiao Ming looked older than Yueya had expected. He was enraged by Yueya's words and picked up the schoolbag next to him and threw it at Yueya.
I don’t know what taboos Xiao Ming put on the schoolbag. Feng Feng wanted to stop it but failed. The schoolbag, carrying a gust of overbearing cold wind, went straight to Yue Ya.
Yue Ya opened his hunting net to catch the schoolbag. Even though he moved quickly, he was still hit by the force of the schoolbag. He walked on the ground for a meter before being supported by Zhuang Yan.
Yue Ya stood up and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhuang Yan supported him nervously: "Boss Yue, are you okay?"
Yue Ya waved his hand and wiped the blood from his lips: "I have tried my best to restore the truth. The boss is also angry. Why hasn't the passage been opened yet?"
Zhuang Yan frowned: "Are we going in the wrong direction?"
Yue Ya also frowned: "If we go in the wrong direction, we can only kill the boss."
Lao Liu: "Are you talking like a player?" How crazy. Too crazy.
Red Rose: "Are all players nowadays so arrogant? I like it."
Yue Ya: "After all, we have lured the boss out. We can't just tell him, 'We found the wrong clue. Go back and wait until we find a way to kill you.' If we do that, he might go berserk right there."
"you're right."
“That makes sense.”
"Now it seems that the only way left is to fight the boss."
"The boss seems to be glaring at us."
"Maybe he's thinking about how we'd die." Yue Ya was about to take back the hunting net. As soon as he grabbed the net, he realized that something was wrong with the weight of the schoolbag. It seemed to be heavier and bulger than before.
Is something new emerging?
Yueya opened the zipper of her schoolbag and saw a round, covered dead head - the masked murderer's head disappeared after he turned into a ghost, and it turned out that he ran into Yueya's schoolbag!
The dead head turned slowly, as if he had discovered Yue Ya.
Yueya: “…Hi?”
The masked head made a clattering sound, bounced out of the schoolbag and hit Yueya's head.
The dead head brought up a smell of blood and stench, but Yue didn't want to have any close contact with it, so he raised his hand and pushed it back... Yes, he pushed it back with his bare hands. I don't know where Yue got so much strength, he also took off the black cloth on the dead head.
I originally thought I would see a rotten, ugly dead face, but I didn't expect that this dead head... had no facial features at all.
Yue Ya's mind went blank for a moment, and he seemed to know what he had missed.
Xiao Ming's patience has run out: "Hey, are you assuming I don't exist?"
Xiao Ming clapped his hands, and several eerie human-skin ghosts appeared behind him.
"Wait a minute," Yue Ya looked at Xiao Ming and asked a soul-searching question, "Why does the murderer have no face? Didn't you kill him? Don't you know what he looks like?"
Yueya recalled Xiao Ming's diary and found that Xiao Ming never mentioned who the murderer was, and even the part about "killing the murderer" was quickly passed over.
Xiao Ming didn't answer, he didn't even have any other reaction, he just froze in place.
Yueya zipped up her schoolbag and looked directly at Xiaoming: "So you didn't find the murderer at all. You committed suicide after you realized that you couldn't avenge your family. This is the fundamental reason why you can't get rid of your obsession, so you have to weave a dream to deceive yourself."
Xiao Ming seemed to wake up from a big dream, with bloody marks on his face. He was suspicious: "Why...why did you expose me?"
Zhuang Yan looked at Xiao Ming's face and hissed, "This is really cracked."
The boss collapsed, the cocoon woven of lies finally cracked, the illusion disappeared, and the house revealed its true face.
The ground was littered with garbage and rotting corpses, the walls were covered with splattered blood and bloody handprints, and even though the photos had faded, one could still clearly see the bloody contents.
Xiao Ming pointed at the bodies scattered all over the floor and said, "All those who died in the house believed me, why don't you believe me?"
Xiao Ming didn't hear Yueya's answer, he was completely disappointed.
"I don't know if these corpses are players or people Xiao Ming killed during his lifetime. No matter what," Yun Yu paused, "he has become the kind of scum he hates the most, killing innocent people indiscriminately."
[Congratulations on clearing the level. All surviving players will receive a bonus for clearing the level: 50,000 points.]
[The exit will be opened in ten minutes. ]
After the notification sound disappeared, the corpses and garbage in the house also disappeared. The resentment in the house condensed into a ball and floated in the air. Only sparkling gems and prop blind boxes were left on the ground.
Everyone's eyes were almost blinded by the light.
"Is this the bonus dungeon? The 50,000 points reward for clearing this dungeon is already outrageous enough, but there's actually such an outrageous treasure."
"This is the first time I've seen so many gems and blind boxes of props... Is this the game's warehouse?"
"These blind boxes should contain common items. If they are all high-end and rare items, this game will go bankrupt."
Zhuang Yan: "I want to roll around in a pile of gems."
Yue Ya: “…” She almost thought her thoughts were heard.
Pixiu is born to love money. Yue Ya's first reaction when seeing the treasure is to move it to his own personal space and hide it. When he is not in the dungeon, he stays in it to admire them one by one.
Yue Ya's face flushed and she coughed: "We only have ten minutes, let's discuss how to divide it."
The players divided the treasure equally, and then drew blind boxes of props one by one based on their intuition. Yue Ya gentlemanly stayed until the end and got five blind boxes.
"Where's Feifei?"
"Eating." Yue Ya pointed to the sky. The ball of condensed resentment had been almost eaten up by Fei Fei.
"I should be full now."
…
Yue Ya and the other two left the copy and returned to the studio.
The painting "A Warm Family" turned black and white, and the picture remained at the moment when the truth was revealed.
Zhuang Yan compared Yueya's height and said, "Yueya, you haven't gotten any shorter."
Yun Yu smiled and said, "It's true. It feels like the kid has grown up overnight."
"Wait, we are not still old, are we?" Zhuang Yan was so scared that he quickly touched his face: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm back to normal."
Touching was not enough, Zhuang Yan wanted to find a mirror to look at himself. He walked around the studio and found an antique mirror with intricate patterns on the shelf. When he looked at the mirror, he was so shocked that he let go. There was a woman in the mirror whose face he could not see clearly!
When the mirror fell back onto the shelf, Zhuang Yan heard a very light hum.
"What's wrong?" Yue Ya asked.
"There's a woman in the mirror. I thought there were no ghosts in this studio." Zhuang Yan looked at the mirror again and frowned, "She's gone."
This is Black Crow's territory. Black Crow invited them here, so the ghosts under his command should not embarrass them. Zhuang Yan apologized to the mirror and returned to Yue Ya.
The three of them sat together and opened the blind boxes.
Zhuang Yan took out two ordinary props and gave up hope: "I knew there wouldn't be any high-level props."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Ya took out a high-level prop: "Yes, take it apart again."
Zhuang Yan: "...The Pixiu's good luck buff is too strong."
Yueya took out another high-level item and two rare items: "Not bad."
Zhuang Yan touched Yueya's head and said seriously: "Take advantage of your luck!"
Another hand was extended from the other side, and Yun Yu said calmly, "I'll rub it too."
“……”I guess you two just want to pet the Pi Xiu.
Yueya's good luck buff took effect quickly. Zhuang Yan opened all the blind boxes and got a high-level item and a rare item. Yunyu also got two high-level items and a rare item, one of which was an upgrade card that could improve skill defense.
The last box of Yueya opened a rare item.
[Delicious cranberry cookies, a delicious taste that can capture NPCs~]
This is a jar of cookies, which is a consumable item. Its main function is to increase the favorability of NPCs. Proper use can have unexpected effects.
Opening the blind box was not the end of the story. The three of them then received a notification that their player level had been upgraded.
Since the points converted from the gems were very high, Yueya was promoted two levels and is now a Q-level player.
Zhuang Yan and Yun Yu also rose two levels.
Zhuang Yan said seriously: "Now I am sure that Black Crow did all this to provide us with resources. There are still six bonus copies. When we gather all the keys, Yue Ya may be very close to the maximum level."
Yun Yu shook her head: "It's not so easy to level up later, but I agree with what you said. Black Crow is sending us resources. What is her purpose?"
Yue Ya looked at the painting in front of her, thinking: "The end of the Undead Mall is the Mouth of Hell. Perhaps we cannot reach it with our current capabilities, so she wants to set up obstacles here to speed up our growth. As for her ultimate goal, I am not sure now."
"Are we going to enter the next painting together?" Yun Yu was silent for a moment: "I think this level of copy is more suitable for individual practice."
The three of them had the same idea at this moment - they wanted to become stronger, and they desperately wanted to become stronger.
Zhuang Yan also had this idea. He asked Yue Ya, "The curse on you has not been lifted. Can you do it alone?"
"Of course, and I have Fengfeng and Feifei," Yueya stood up: "Six paintings, two rounds, let's start."
