Chapter 14 I am an honest person and I don’t understand these things
In the study.
Jian Yue was also having a headache looking at the red mass. He picked up the paper and said, "How about this, you describe it and I'll draw a sketch of him?"
Since she can't run away anyway, she might as well help her find someone.
And maybe you can also unlock the plot of Wanfu Village at the same time, so you can do both at the same time.
The female ghost gestured and talked for a long time. I don’t know if it was a problem with her language system or what, but her speech was intermittent and her description was very messy. It was impossible to draw it at all.
Jian Yue sighed and asked, "He used to be from your village, right? Even if there is no photo, there must be some information about where he lived before. I can also ask others about it."
This question finally hits the point.
After asking this, the female ghost finally stopped shaking her head and was about to speak.
“Squeak—”
There was a sound coming from the door. Jian Yue looked up and saw someone coming in. Shen Yushu was wearing a white shirt and holding a cup of coffee. He glanced at Jian Yue and said, "Butler Wang? Are you awake?"
Jian Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously feared that the female ghost would be seen by Shen Yushu.
After all, his boss is a firm believer in science. If he were to be frightened to death by what he saw, where else could he find such a rich and generous boss to work for?
It’s better not to look at the results.
After seeing this, he was completely stunned. Where was the female ghost in the room? Not to mention the human figure, even the bloodstains that had just dripped on the ground had disappeared without a trace. And the paper in his hand was originally used for her to draw, but now when he looked at it again, it was also clean, without any bloodstains at all.
Shen Yushu's somewhat unhappy voice sounded: "Butler Wang?"
Jian Yue was shocked and came to his senses. He just happened to see Shen Yushu coming over. The man raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing sitting on my chair?"
…
Jian Yue just remembered that his desk was stained with blood, so he had to move to Shen Yushu's desk. What he didn't expect was that the owner of this table would suddenly come back.
Under Shen Yushu's suspicious gaze.
Jian Yue quickly explained: "I, I thought you went back to rest, so I wanted to help you tidy up the table."
Shen Yushu said: "My desk is clean, and I have already used this paper, so it needs to be thrown away."
Jian Yue realized that there was indeed something written on the back of the paper. Although it was a piece of paper that needed to be destroyed, he gritted his teeth and said, "I, I just want to share the worries of the young master."
This is actually a statement full of loopholes.
Jian Yue thought, it's over, the president wouldn't suspect that he was trying to steal some business secrets, right? No!
Shen Yushu narrowed his eyes: "Really?"
This is a really flawed statement.
Shen Yushu thought, it's over, could it be that Butler Wang has a crush on him and wants to collect everything about him? After all, this piece of paper is just a piece of waste paper with some useless things written on it by him!
Eyes met.
Just when Jian Yue was nervously beating his drum.
Shen Yushu sneered, and the man looked down at him, saying in a way that he really couldn't do anything to him: "Since you like it, take it."
Jian Yue: “…”
It’s not that he really doesn’t have a habit of holding paper!
Jian Yue felt that he must have become a very strange person in the president's mind. The most important thing was that he had no way to refute it! !
Just thinking about it.
System prompt: [Character behavior is consistent with the character setting, health value increased by 10%]
Jian Yue was completely relieved. It seemed that in this world, as long as his actions seemed normal in the eyes of the president, his health points would not be reduced, but would be increased instead!
This is really a good thing.
Jian Yue said: "Master, do you want to rest?"
Shen Yushu nodded and said, "Well, it's almost finished. If you want to go back, go first. I still need to take care of some things."
Jian Yue, who had just had his health increased, was in a good mood.
There was one thing he wanted to confirm, so he nodded and said, "Master, I won't bother you if you're busy. I'll get up tomorrow morning and prepare breakfast for you."
Shen Yushu waved his hand and let him go.
After Jian Yue left the door and walked through the corridor, he stood in the courtyard for a while. Sure enough, he found a red figure slowly emerging in the courtyard not far away. She stood under the moonlight, her crimson robe swaying in the wind, like an empty shell without bones.
The speculation was confirmed.
Jian Yue walked up to her and said, "Are you afraid of the man just now?"
The female ghost could obviously hear human words. Although she did not answer, after hearing Jian Yue's words, her whole body trembled, which was a subconscious gesture of nervousness and fear.
Jian Yue understood, and he said, "It seems that you are really afraid of him."
As soon as this guess was confirmed, the system's voice was heard.
system:
[Main Quest]: The secret story of Wanfu Village progresses by 15%
[Side Quest]: Hide and Seek
Remaining time: 12 hours
Mission Reward: Ancestral Hall Key
The mission has progressed!
Jian Yue didn't expect that the plot would progress just by him confirming a piece of information. It seems that Shen Yushu is a natural ghost exorcist, a walking talisman. There are no ghosts where he is.
But he knew that he couldn't rely on Shen Yushu for everything, because if he hid, the plot would not progress. Judging from the degree of danger at night, it was increasing step by step, and he had to speed up the plot.
Jian Yue made up his mind and said, "I'll help you find that lover, and you help me get into the ancestral hall, how about that?"
The female ghost didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but she definitely understood the first half, and she nodded slightly.
Jian Yue said, "It seems that it is impossible to ask you for a portrait. You must know where he lived before. Is it still there? Take me to see it."
The female ghost nodded to show that she understood.
Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was not hopeless yet. He said, "Let's go."
Then the female ghost led him towards the front door. The night was dark and deep, and the whole house was very quiet. In the courtyard not far away, red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the archaeological team's house, and a strong smell of corpse oil lamps slowly wafted over.
Jian Yue followed the female ghost to the door and opened it.
In the late morning hours, the fog was thick.
Under the pale moonlight, the figures in the fog were hazy. One could vaguely see black figures, some twisted, some crawling, walking blindly in the fog. The sound of wind brought the sound of sticky blood dragging on the ground. As if noticing the sound, some black shadows stopped and looked towards the house.
Jian Yue: “…”
He slammed the door shut.
Before I could recover from the shock, my eyes met with the female ghost behind me.
“…”
Jian Yue's body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.
The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, I thought you were so brave."
"You must be scared."
"When I came out at night, I was so scared that I almost fell down."
"It's all about the heartbeat!"
Jian Yue's back was covered in cold sweat. He thought that no matter what, he must not go out now, so he said, "There are too many people outside, it's not convenient for me to go out. You wait first, I will think of a way and take you there tomorrow."
The female ghost seemed dissatisfied and tried to pinch him with her claws again.
The audience thought that Jian Yue was finally going to fail.
But Jian Yue said at this time: "If you dare to pinch me, I will scream. Mr. Shen's study is just in front, and he hasn't slept yet!"
Female ghost/audience "..."
Then the audience saw the female ghost put her hands down obediently, but she still looked at Jian Yue with resentment.
I don’t know if the sound of the door closing just now disturbed the monster in the house.
Jian Yue could hear the sounds of scratching and banging on the door from outside through the door panel. He could be said to be attacked from both sides. Compared with the conscious man in front of him, the group outside might not be so sure.
In a flash.
Jian Yue cleared his throat and said, "You've kept me awake all night. How can I help you find someone if I don't sleep well? Normally, I'm very efficient. It's all because I didn't sleep well these few nights and there was always something outside my window bothering me. They're not as considerate as you. I think you're different from them. You can definitely understand me, right?"
The female ghost actually didn't understand, but she thought it should be a compliment to herself, and she showed a confused look. She scratched her head and felt like she was going to grow a brain.
"That's right." Jian Yue smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, I'll go to bed first. I believe that with someone as sensible as you here, no one will bother me outside tonight and affect my help to you tomorrow, right?"
When the female ghost heard this, she immediately nodded.
Jian Yue immediately said, "Then I'll go to sleep. I'll rely on you!"
The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned when they saw this scene:
"Hahaha what the fuck?"
"Others cheat on people, but he cheats on ghosts!"
"Not you buddy?"
"I'm fucking convinced!"
However, as more and more viewers flocked to the live broadcast room, people from other organizations also discovered this new live broadcast room, because it is very rare for a junior anchor to be on the homepage for his or her first show.
Players are also divided into factions.
Some factions are based on the types of cards held, while others are based entirely on strength.
At the base of the Yingniao organization, someone was watching the live broadcast. At first, he just clicked in to see the gold card, but before he knew it, he had been watching it for two days and was laughing happily at the moment.
Just then someone came in from outside, and he said, "Boss, you guys are going to release the dungeon."
The man nodded and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
He summarized the events in Jian Yue's live broadcast room, and laughed as he spoke: "How did this anchor come up with this idea? The key is that these NPCs actually listened to him. He's really lucky!"
The man was silent for a moment, then looked at the screen in the live broadcast room and said, "Maybe it's not just luck, it's just that he treats the ghosts as human beings, not mindless NPCs."
All players who enter the dungeon world will be repeatedly informed by the system about the NPC, but some choose to believe and despise it, while others take it seriously and respect it.
So some people live and some people die.
After the subordinate slowly figured this out, the smile on his face slowly froze.
The other side.
Jian Yue returned to his room and fell asleep immediately.
He was woken up by the alarm clock. He pressed the alarm, got up, asked Zhang Ma for breakfast, and brought it to Shen Yushu first. Thinking of Mr. Shen's life-saving grace last night, he personally made a love sandwich for him.
After doing all this, Jian Yue returned to his room.
As the morning sun rose, he saw the female ghost standing in the yard waiting for him. He walked over and said, "Okay, let's go!"
The female ghost hesitated but refused to leave.
Jian Yue frowned. Seeing her standing in the house with a ray of sunlight outside, he guessed, "You can't see the light?!"
The ghost girl nodded.
Jian Yue patted his head. This was a serious situation. He had to rely on her to find that person's old address, but she couldn't leave. She could do it at night, but with all those things outside at night, he couldn't leave!
Shit, the system gave him an unsolvable problem!
If he couldn't help her find someone, then...
When Jian Yue raised his head, he met the cold gaze of the female ghost and trembled all over. He would definitely not survive.
Just thinking about it.
The system panel popped up again:
Limited time mission: [Hide and Seek]
Mission details: Survive in her hands for 24 hours, 5 hours remaining!
Jian Yue frowned. The sun would definitely not set within the time limit of the mission. He had to find a way!
Thinking about it.
There was suddenly a knock on the door.
Jian Yue turned around and asked, "Who?"
As the morning sun rose, the door outside was pushed open a little, and then Jian Yue saw the boy with glasses and the crying girl from the archaeological team coming.
Jian Yue frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
He had no good feelings towards the archaeological team, as they had caused him trouble time and time again. If it weren't for them, he would not have been forced to accept this mission.
The boy with glasses hesitated for a moment and looked at the girl several times.
Jian Yue is busy now and has no time to pay attention to them: "If you have nothing to do, just leave."
It seemed that he was really going to kick us out.
The girl said quickly: "Don't, don't..."
She took a deep breath, as if she was finally ready, and suddenly bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Steward Wang, I was the one in the bushes on the hillside that day. My mission was to find the ancestral hall. Brother Dao gave me a clue and asked me to explore the way. I had a teleportation card so there was no danger, but I didn't expect you to be there, right? I'm sorry!"
As she spoke, her eyes became red again and she sounded like she was crying.
The boy with glasses also patted the girl on the back and said to Jian Yue, "Butler Wang, I'm so sorry. Tiantian is my girlfriend. She and I were going to get married. When we were on our honeymoon... our car had an accident and crashed off a cliff, so we were dragged into the dungeon. My card skill is lightning, and hers is teleport. She didn't mean to hurt you. She cried for a long time last night, so I brought her here to apologize early in the morning."
Jian Yue listened quietly and didn't say anything.
To be honest, he didn't really need an apology, nor would he accept any. If his card had not been triggered or was still in the cooldown period, he would have died.
So there is no need for him to forgive so generously.
but……
Jian Yue's eyes fell on the girl's crying face. After a moment of silence, he said, "You said your skill is teleportation?"
The girl didn't know why she suddenly asked him this, but she still nodded hesitantly: "Yeah."
Jian Yue asked: "How many people can be teleported at one time?"
The girl said honestly: "There are only three people at most, and the more people there are, the shorter the teleportation distance will be."
Jian Yue said conservatively: "Where is the shortest?"
The girl thought for a moment and gestured, "If I'm alone, I can teleport freely in the village, but if there are three of us, I can only teleport within a hundred meters at most."
Jian Yue thought about it and realized that the direction the female ghost pointed to last night was not that far. After he came to his senses, he raised his face again with a smile on his face. He said, "You said you wanted to apologize, right?"
The girl hesitated, having a bad feeling: "Hmm..."
"What's the point of just saying sorry?" Jian Yue said, "I want you to do me a favor, and I may need to use your skills."
The two newcomers hesitated.
Jian Yue was still reasonable. He said, "I hope you don't forget who saved Grandma Li at her house. If I'm not mistaken, if she died that day, you two might not have survived that night. After all, I saw her outside your yard that night."
After hearing these words, the two people were so scared that their faces turned pale.
The man was still hesitant, "But... the card has a 24-hour cooldown after each use. If we encounter other dangers during this period, we..."
He was not very willing.
Jian Yue heard the hidden meaning in his words and smiled gently. He pushed his glasses and said slowly: "I hope you two understand that I am still willing to discuss this with you because I am a kind person. In fact, I am an honest man and I don't understand these things. If you two really don't want to cooperate..."
He suddenly snapped his fingers lightly.
He knocked on the table and moved the screen behind him back.
Then the two newlyweds looked up, their eyes widened instantly, and they saw a female ghost in red standing behind the screen. Her skin was pale and blood was dripping from her eyes, her long black hair hung on her robe, and her fingers hanging at her sides had long and sharp nails, as if they could easily pierce a person's throat. When they suddenly saw her, if they hadn't been leaning against the door, their legs would have gone weak.
It just happens to be in such a picture.
The usually honest and kind butler Wang shed his gentle appearance, curled his lips and smiled, like a peerless villain: "What did you two want to say just now? Can you also tell my friend about it?"
