Chapter 25 You are a man who says one thing and means another
When Jian Yue finished speaking, the scene was bustling with activity.
Tiantian, who was standing at the back, felt that she might have seen a ghost. Oh no, although she had seen a ghost a long time ago, at this moment she felt that it was even more ridiculous than seeing a ghost.
On the lawn not far away, the ghosts with various distorted postures were clapping stiffly. In this thick fog, in this absurd and funny bloody smell, Butler Wang, standing at the door, held a village meeting for the ghosts with a loud speaker late in the morning and introduced new policies for Wanfu Village.
The most important thing is...
The ghosts actually listened to it!!
If she hadn't felt the pain after pinching herself, she would have suspected that she had been scared crazy and was hallucinating.
Until all the ghosts disappeared.
Jian Yue put away the trumpet and walked in leisurely. When Tiantian was about to admire Butler Wang's extraordinary sense of conviction, she saw Butler Wang close the door after he came in, and then -
My legs went weak and I sat down on the chair.
Jian Yue tremblingly picked up the water on the table and took a sip. Only then did he have the strength to pick up a tissue to wipe the cold sweat from his head. His whole body exuded an aura of being terrified.
Tiantian: “…”
no?
"Butler Wang, you are afraid?" Tiantian asked in shock, "Then how dare you hold a meeting just now?"
Jian Yue sighed, put down the water cup and said, "I am afraid, but work is work. Since I have to do my job, and the job of village party secretary falls on me, I should set an example. This is my professional belief!"
Tiantian: “…”
The audience in the live broadcast room were all laughing:
"God's fucking professional belief."
"Wanfu Village is also under curfew."
"I laughed so hard I pounded the floor in the hall."
"The spring breeze of reform has also blown to the scary ghost village."
Although Jian Yue's behavior was nonsensical, he was able to escape from this crisis, and even saved his teammates. Therefore, many viewers who originally thought he was lucky have changed their minds:
"It would have been nice if I had teammates like this in my Novice Village back then."
"I don't know how to say it, he relieved my card anxiety."
"Ahhh me too!"
"You are not alone!"
In the nightmare world, each player draws cards with different skills. Some are lucky and can draw cards with powerful explosive power at the beginning, while others are unlucky and get skill cards. In addition, the cards are divided into gold, orange, purple, blue and white.
Players who did not draw the gold orange card will become more anxious.
Invisible pressure will accompany all players. Players who did not draw good cards will continue to go to dungeons and get materials to upgrade cards in order to obtain better skill cards, forming a vicious circle.
"My cards are skill cards with no attack power. I am scared every day."
“Watching the streamer made me feel like I could survive even if I didn’t draw a very powerful offensive card.”
"I've also learned to get along well with my cards."
"He makes me feel that every card has its own meaning!"
The live broadcast room's activity and popularity increased due to Jian Yue's performance in the evening.
System prompt: [Congratulations to the anchor's live broadcast room for reaching 5,000 viewers. 324 players have followed the anchor room, and 700 players have voted for you. The anchor topped the newcomer rankings this week and received a novice gift package, which can be claimed after the dungeon ends! ]
Jian Yue was originally sitting on a chair. Hearing this, he was slightly surprised: "Why are there so many people here all of a sudden? Do they all like to watch the story of building the beautiful Wanfu Village?"
system:"……"
A sweet exclamation drew people's attention back: "Ayu!"
Jian Yue looked at the man who was chopped by an axe not far away and said, "You can just redeem some points from the mall to stop his bleeding. When I took him over just now, I touched the wound and found that the bones were not injured. Just replace the hemostatic medicine and healing powder."
Tiantian quickly asked, "Really, Butler Wang? So you are a doctor by profession."
Jian Yue said cheerfully: "Not completely, but a little bit related."
Tiantian asked curiously while exchanging items: "Not exactly? Are you a veterinarian who treats animals?"
Jian Yue said: "Forensic doctor."
Tiantian: “…”
Regardless, the night passed without incident.
After seeing Tiantian and her boyfriend off, Jian Yue went to sleep. He had originally planned to talk to the president in the morning and go to the archives to look up the information in the diary, but he didn't expect that when he opened the door early in the morning, he would see a lot of people standing outside.
Scarface, Wen Yu and others were standing in the corridor, and it was obvious that they were waiting for him, and they looked unfriendly.
Jian Yue stopped moving, glanced at them, chuckled and said, "What do you guys have to do so early in the morning?"
The players of the archaeological team looked at each other and said in unison as if they had taken a deep breath, "Butler Wang, congratulations on becoming the village party secretary!!"
Jian Yue: “…”
He didn't expect to be gathered by a group of people early in the morning to celebrate his new appointment.
Scarface walked over and said, "Butler Wang, we all know that you saved Tiantian and the others last night. This time, it's all thanks to you. We know that you are also a kind-hearted person."
Jian Yue said: "I accept your congratulations. If there is nothing else, I'm afraid I have to leave first. The young master should still be waiting for me to come over."
He turned to leave, but was stopped.
Jian Yue knew that this group of people couldn't just come to congratulate him.
"Butler Wang, why do you have to be so cold?" Scarface's tall body pressed down, and he put an arm on Jian Yue's shoulder and said, "I guess you must have heard what Tiantian and the others said. We are old players. To be honest, we have a lot of experience in dungeons. In the dungeon world, everyone should help each other. In this way, we can share any clues with you in the future, which is better than you fighting alone."
Wen Yu also came over and said with a smile: "Yes, when everyone gets out of this instance together, you can also join our organization. Our big family is very strong. As long as we are in the same organization, we are a family. We will not abandon any family member and we will share the happiness together."
Jian Yue asked: "If there is any difficulty, will you handle it yourself?"
Wen Yu's smile froze, and she asked, "Why do you say that, Steward Wang?"
"If you really share the good and the bad, why did Tiantian and the others come to me for help last night?" Jian Yue said calmly, "Isn't this funny?"
Scarface immediately said, "That's because they didn't light the lanterns themselves. We all lit them and fell asleep!"
Jian Yue chuckled: "Really?"
The group of people standing in the corridor all had more or less a strong smell of corpse oil lamps on their bodies, but Wen Yu and Scarface in front of him had almost no smell on their bodies. This proved that the two people had known that there was something wrong with the lanterns and had special ways to avoid it at night.
They probably didn't sleep at all last night.
But he just ignored other players in the same team and watched them die. Did he really think everyone was a fool? !
Just thinking about——
Tiantian and her boyfriend were standing at the back. Wang Yu hesitated and said, "Housekeeper Wang, it was Tiantian and I who didn't follow the rules last night. It has nothing to do with Sister Yu and Brother Dao. Don't blame them."
Jian Yue: “…”
There really are fools.
His face was full of speechlessness and he rolled his eyes.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also angry at first, but they all laughed when they saw his expression:
"Hahaha, anchor, do you have to be so funny?"
"I can't carry it with me at all."
"It's unnecessary to save them both!"
"Forget it. It's hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die with good words. According to the progress, these new lamp-lighting people won't live for many days."
After rolling his eyes, Jian Yue said, "I see that you all have quite a few people, and it should be enough for you to help each other. You don't need me. I am used to being alone and don't like to interact with people too much. Besides, I am a village cadre now. If I get too close to others, the villagers might think I am biased. Please understand."
Everyone: “…”
God is biased!!
Jian Yue left after saying this, without even looking at other people's faces. To be honest, he felt that ghosts were very dangerous, but Scarface and the others gave him a feeling of being even more dangerous. Sometimes human hearts are much scarier than ghosts, aren't they?
study.
Jian Yue knocked on the door: "Master, are you awake?"
Shen Yushu had already finished cleaning and said, "Come in."
Jian Yue brought breakfast over and said, "You must have been exhausted from taking care of the old lady yesterday. I asked Aunt Zhang to make soup for you this morning. You can drink it at noon."
Shen Yushu responded casually: "Yeah."
The food here is not a bit worse than what we had at the manor, but Shen Yushu had worked hard to build up his family business since he was young, so he is not pretentious.
When Jian Yue put down his breakfast and prepared to leave.
But Shen Yushu said, "Come over at noon and have a drink together. You have lost a lot of weight during this period."
Jian Yue paused. He didn't expect the boss to care so much about his employees. A touch of emotion flowed from his heart. He said, "Thank you very much, young master. I have no way to repay you. I will definitely share your worries!"
Shen Yushu sat on the chair with dignity and coldness, and glanced at him: "It's not completely unrewarding."
Jian Yue: “Hmm?”
God, you know there is no free lunch in this world!
It turns out the boss has other work to give him. Capitalists have so many tricks! !
Shen Yushu met Jian Yue's confused eyes and secretly hated Butler Wang for being a blockhead. He had hinted at him like that but he remained indifferent!
"Tonight is the village's Flower Shadow Festival." Shen Yushu said calmly, "You go with me."
Jian Yue was curious: "What festival is this?"
Shen Yushu explained to him: "My mother told me that this is a traditional festival in this village. People pick flowers on that day to express their love and pray for a good omen."
Jian Yue didn't expect that Wanfu Village had such a romantic festival. But why did the young master look for him? Isn't this his role with the heroine? Why should he, a butler, join in the fun?
And the Flower Shadow Festival sounds like a good opportunity to find clues.
It might be more convenient for him to act on his own then!
Jian Yue said, "It is an honor for me that the young master invites me, but on such a romantic holiday, I think you should take the opportunity to go out for a walk. Who knows, maybe you can have some wonderful encounters."
Shen Yushu frowned.
What does Butler Wang mean? Even if he is playing hard to get, there should be a limit. Very good, she actually dared to resist him and successfully attracted his attention!
Shen Yushu said, "If you don't want to go, forget it. The village is also very lively on the night of the Flower Shadow Festival. You don't like crowds..."
"But then again, how can I feel at ease if you go to the Flower Shadow Festival alone without anyone to take care of you, young master?" Jian Yue was shocked and said quickly, "Please take me with you!"
It's not like Wanfu Village is filled with ghost lights every night, and there's no president outside to drive away ghosts.
He is scared!
Shen Yushu looked at him silently, with an expression that said, "I know you're a man who says one thing and thinks another."
Jian Yue just smiled. Reputation is not as important as life. He said, "As long as the young master doesn't despise me, that's fine."
Shen Yushu snorted and said, "Go and get ready. I'll take you there in the evening."
Jian Yue said happily, "Yes, Master. I am going to the archives today. I saw a lot of information about the archaeological team there last time. I think it might be related to the batch in the warehouse. I want to go take a look again."
Shen Yushu regained his noble and cold demeanor and waved his hand: "Go ahead."
Jian Yue left happily after receiving the amnesty order.
With the key to this archive in hand, his plot progress can move forward a big step. He left the yard and went straight to the location of the archive in his memory. This time there was no stopping by the carpenter's wife. It seemed that she had not appeared again after handing over the archive.
Jian Yue pushed the door open and found that there was still no light.
To be honest, except for the young master's house, no other houses in Wanfu Village have electricity. Jian Yue sighed and said, "Next time I will discuss with the young master about allocating funds to build this place. It's hard to move without electricity."
The audience in the live broadcast room were all happy after hearing this:
“Hahaha, we really need to build Wanfu Village.”
"The lights will be on at night."
"My Cyber Village."
"Secretary Wang has finally started to work."
Jian Yue brought a flashlight. This time he did not look for materials, but began to focus on checking the walls and doors. Last time, Ji Feng's studio was on the wall, and if it weren't for the female ghost, he wouldn't have been able to find it. This time he looked in more detail.
The house was dark all year round and was a bit cold. The sound of Jian Yue's footsteps echoed throughout the archives. The emptiness added a bit of eeriness to the quiet room where one could hear a pin drop.
Jian Yue checked the walls and floors, and checked three layers inside and three layers outside, but still couldn't find it.
He looked at the key in his hand and frowned.
“This shouldn’t be the case…”
He leaned against the wall, carefully recalling every detail. If he were Ji Feng, where would he build his laboratory?
Countless thoughts ran through my mind.
The man who had searched the entire archives but could not find any door sat cross-legged on the ground. There was silence in the huge archive tube, as if he was the only one left in the world.
suddenly--
Jian Yue raised his eyes, stood up and walked towards Ji Feng's studio which he found last time. He had been into this room once before and checked that there was nothing inside, so it was easy to overlook it.
Open the door.
There was still only a tattered bed and a somewhat rotten table inside.
Jian Yue walked in slowly. The bed had actually moved a little. That was where the female ghost pounced for the first time. He didn't pay much attention at that time. Now, he squatted down and looked under the bed.
He slowly reached out his hand and knocked on the ground.
The hollow sound of the wooden board echoed, and Jian Yue smiled, finding it.
He moved the bed a little and lifted up the wooden board, finally revealing a tightly closed iron door underneath. It turned out that he had been so close to this laboratory.
The system panel popped up: "Main quest [The Secret of Wanfu Village] progress updated to 41%"
Jian Yue took out the key and inserted it into the hole. He turned it and it opened.
He had brought a flashlight with him, so he was not panicked at all. As long as the female ghost didn't come, he could handle it. But before going down, Jian Yue still exchanged a 50-point protective vest from the mall, which could withstand one attack from ghosts.
He walked in only after putting on his black vest.
The long staircase extends to the present day. The iron stairs make a creaking sound when you step on them, which is what happens when you step on them due to disrepair.
Jian Yue walked slowly down and found that this research laboratory indeed had a lot of liquid pipes and some professional-looking surveying equipment. He walked to the table in the front and saw a worn-out file bag on the dusty table.
Found something.
Jian Yue took a flashlight and slowly untied the threads of the file bag, and he could see the contents.
8.13
First test record.
Obvious abnormalities were detected in the villagers' blood, and the cell composition was different from that of normal people.
He turned the page.
8.14
Second experiment record.
The soil in the village has an abnormal texture and structure, and contains excessive amounts of various minerals, suggesting it has deteriorated.
He continued turning the pages.
It was discovered that there were a lot of records afterwards, all about the observations of the villagers and the analysis of the land. This archaeological team was obviously well prepared. They were very professional, so they were able to discover the abnormalities quickly.
The last page of the archives.
September 14th.
The 78th experiment record.
The experimental subject showed abnormal reaction and the experiment was forced to be terminated. I think we have to leave here as soon as possible!
Jian Yue frowned, and the file bag stopped abruptly when he flipped to this point. He put the file bag back and chuckled in the silence in the room: "You are playing me as a fool."
The audience in the live broadcast room still didn't quite understand what he meant.
Jian Yue threw the file bag on the table: "The handwriting is different. This is not Ji Feng's laboratory at all."
He realized it only after reading it.
Firstly, Ji Feng was used to recording the weather when he wrote something, but every entry in this file bag did not record the weather of that day. Secondly, although the handwriting here was deliberately imitated, if you look closely you will find subtle differences.
The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned:
"Damn, that wasn't mentioned in the guide!"
"Ji Feng is so scheming. Is he protecting the real laboratory?"
"Aren't there two research laboratories in Wanfu Village?"
"No wonder the plot progress of this instance is always at 90%."
“Oh my god, the anchor unlocked a plot that has never been seen before!!”
When Jian Yue turned around, he saw the person who had been waiting for him behind him.
The female ghost in red would appear in any place related to Ji Feng. Her clothes were bright red and were dripping with sticky blood. At this moment, she was staring at him intently, muttering, "Where is he...where is he...give him to me!"
She is very fast.
Even though Jian Yue tried his best to dodge it, her nails still almost pierced through his body. Fortunately, the small vest he exchanged in advance saved him once.
It takes at least thirty seconds to climb the stairs.
It seemed that the female ghost was about to pounce on him again.
Jian Yue said: "Wait!"
The female ghost was stunned.
Jian Yue threw the key to the archives in his hand to her: "Here you go, I really give it to you, now don't look for me!"
He suddenly threw it backwards, intentionally throwing it far away so that the female ghost couldn't see clearly. She liked to chase things with Ji Feng's scent, so she subconsciously pounced over to pick it up.
Jian Yue took this opportunity to run towards the stairs.
He was lucky this time. The key fell to the ground far away and got stuck under the table. The female ghost had to spend a lot of effort to fish it out, which bought him a lot of time.
Coming up from below, Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally got rid of her completely. Now that I don't have the key, she can't continue to pester me..."
The words haven't been finished yet.
Jian Yue had just walked out of the room when he felt something foreign on his palm. He looked down and saw it was the key. When the distance exceeded a certain level, the key automatically returned to his body.
Depend on! !
Jian Yue looked back and saw that the wooden board under the bed not far away was shaking. The female ghost was about to catch up with him again!
He cursed and said to the system, "What's going on? Why did this item automatically return to my hand? Can't I throw it away?"
The system did not play dead this time and replied: "Yes, once the mission props are obtained, they are automatically bound, unless they are claimed by other players. And when other players get the prop money, the anchor cannot deceive them and give it to them, otherwise it will be considered a violation."
Jian Yue collapsed and said, "Who would want this ghost key after knowing the pitfalls? Do you think they are fools?"
The system stopped talking.
Seeing that the female ghost behind was about to come out, Jian Yue ran outside. He just ran to the outside of the archives before he could run further.
A stern voice came from the side: "Stop!"
Jian Yue looked back in confusion, and saw Scarface and the others standing outside the archives, being stopped by the carpenter's wife, who looked like they had been waiting for Jian Yue for a long time. He asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Scarface walked directly in front of Jian Yue and said bluntly: "Butler Wang, I'm going to get straight to the point. Give us your key. We want to enter the archives!"
Jian Yue: “…”
He looked at Scarface in a strange way.
Scarface thought he was unwilling, and said coldly: "We are all players, you won't even help with this little bit, why make things so ugly? Butler Wang, in the future, when we leave the dungeon, we will see each other every day. You don't think you can really do everything by yourself, right?"
Jian Yue coughed lightly and said, "No, you misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to give you this key, it's just that this key is very dangerous..."
Scarface sneered and said, "Are you doubting our ability? No matter how dangerous it is, how can we be afraid of so many people?"
Other archaeologists behind him also echoed:
"Butler Wang, you wouldn't deliberately not give it to us, would you?"
"Bullshit."
“We just have strength in numbers.”
Jian Yue twitched his lips, and continued, "After giving this key to you, it will become a bound item, and it is likely to attract some ghosts. Are you sure?"
Scarface indeed hesitated.
Wen Yu, who was behind him, pulled him aside and whispered, "This housekeeper Wang is full of tricks and is very good at fooling people. I heard that he became the village party secretary yesterday by fooling the villagers. If this key is really that dangerous, how could he come out safely? He probably said that because he doesn't want to give it to you."
?
Scarface thinks it makes sense!!
Butler Wang was indeed very scheming and almost tricked them! !
Seeing him looking at her, Jian Yue coughed lightly and said, "I'm not kidding this time, you have to believe me."
"Shut up!" Scarface really believed it. He looked at Jian Yue and snorted, then said with a smug smile, "Butler Wang, put away your little tricks. Don't think you can fool everyone with your cleverness. You can fool others, but we are not stupid. I will take this key today!"
