Chapter 196 [(*^▽^*)]
What's going on?
Lin Leyou looked at the figure with some confusion.
Why is this female player standing outside all by herself?
Did Xue Qian find her repulsive and tell her to get out?
However, judging from the way she swayed her waist and walked disheveled towards her room, it was clear that she had finished and was not kicked out.
Is this perfect? Let's take them down one by one!
Lin Leyou hesitated for a moment, but decided to go find Xue Qian first. As soon as she floated inside, she saw the messy bed with rolled-up sheets and blankets on it.
Xue Qian lay in the middle of the blankets, hugging the dirty blankets, ready to sleep. Good heavens, aren't they going to tidy up?
Oh no, Xue Qian didn't tidy up. He did think it was a bit dirty, so he got up and went to another bed, which was Zhou Nanyue's bed.
"That Zhou Nanyue is such a useless piece of trash, why hasn't she come back yet? Is she trying to starve me to death?"
Lin Leyou thought of Zhou Nanyue, whom he had strangled to death, and realized that he would never come back. If Xue Qian didn't go out to find food, he would starve to death here.
Xue Qian tossed and turned on the clean bed, unable to sleep because he was so hungry. He got up angrily, clutching his stomach, wanting to go out and see what was going on, or find something to eat.
But as he reached the door and was about to push it open, a pair of pale, sharp-clawed hands suddenly appeared from behind and grabbed his neck.
Xue Qian's subconscious reaction was the same as Zhou Nanyue's: he grabbed Lin Leyou's hands with both of his, trying to pry them apart, but unfortunately, he couldn't!
Xue Qian felt as if he were holding two frozen steel pipes; within seconds, his hands felt like they were about to freeze.
But there's something more important right now: my neck is being choked, and...
Xue Qian felt like he was about to die any second and couldn't make a sound to call for help. Fortunately, he remembered the items in his backpack before he died.
Lin Leyou saw the prop that suddenly appeared in his hand, and with a forceful squeeze, snapped his neck.
"Notification: Congratulations to Lin Leyou for killing a player. The player dropped 100,000 gold upon death."
Lin Leyou looked at the prop that had fallen to the ground and was somewhat surprised. It wasn't the prop that had fallen, but money.
That makes sense, though. Xue Qian took this item out of his backpack when he was on the verge of death, and it couldn't be retrieved after death, so it wasn't considered a kill drop.
But I didn't expect that killing enemies would drop money. Does that mean there are also points that can drop?
He picked up the prop from the ground, which was a tree branch, and examined it.
"Millennial Peach Tree Branch: A material for gold-grade props. It has the effect of exorcising ghosts and bringing blessings when used. If it is made into a peach wood sword, it has a miraculous effect in slaying ghosts!"
Lin Leyou gasped when he saw the system description. This Xue Qian is amazing! He actually has a thousand-year-old peach tree branch, and this thing is just a material.
However, the material itself was quite effective, so he immediately put the peach branch in his hand into his backpack and looked at his already burned palm.
You can even see the bone inside. And this injury is healing much slower, more than ten times slower than the wounds Zhou Nanyue had scratched before.
This wound probably won't heal until tomorrow morning. It's only been held in my hand for a short while and it's already like this. If I were to get hit a few times, wouldn't that be terrible?
Especially since this stuff can be made into peach wood swords, fortunately Xue Qian didn't have a way to make peach wood swords from peach tree branches before.
Now that it's in my hands, that's great! Gold-grade materials...
Even if Xue Qian returns to the real world, he won't be able to find anyone to take revenge. After all, the one who killed him was a vengeful ghost from the dungeon, an NPC ghost. This item might be picked up by someone else, but who?
So many players!
In Xue Rui's opinion, the most likely candidates are Zhou Nanyue and that woman; no other player would go to his room except for the two of them.
Wait, what if Xue Qian becomes so insane that he suspects Xue Rui?
Never mind, I'll just ask Xue Rui when the time comes; he definitely won't hide anything from me.
Lin Leyou happily continued to examine the thousand-year-old peach tree branch in his backpack, liking it more and more as he looked at it, and even the wound on his hand no longer hurt.
But after watching it several times, he suddenly felt something was amiss...
He knew about the effects of exorcising ghosts and praying for blessings, but what did praying for blessings represent?
Does it represent making a wish? Does it increase the probability of one's wish coming true?
hiss!
Isn't this just about increasing your luck?
It's an item that increases luck!
Lin Leyou excitedly spun around, but after calming down, he realized that this was supposed to be a blessing, not an increase in luck.
Moreover, this thousand-year-old peach tree branch can be made into a peach wood sword. After becoming a peach wood sword, will it still retain the attribute of blessing?
Even if it does increase luck, how much? Does it increase luck simply by holding it in your hand, or is some kind of blessing ritual required?
Lin Leyou sighed. Forget it, now is not the time to think about this. I'll ask Jiang Xiali or Lin Wanyi when I get back. They know more.
He is still a vengeful ghost and should not be touched by this peach tree branch.
After glancing once more at Xue Qian's corpse on the ground, Lin Leyou floated to the room where the female player had been, easily killed her, and obtained the 10 points that had been dropped.
I'm so poor, I only have 10 points!
However, the drop is random. Maybe I was just unlucky. No, it's because I used up most of my good luck just now.
After sending a message to Xue Rui, Lin Leyou put away her phone.
Xue Rui happened to be alone somewhere, while the other three were resting in three other places. He took it out to check and was stunned for a moment.
"Xue Qian and Gu Yafang are dead."
Xue Rui looked at the words on his phone screen, then smiled and replied again, "Thank you, Brother Lin."
Lin Leyou smiled knowingly after seeing the message but did not reply.
He left this place and went to the Lin residence to find Xue Rui. Even though he couldn't speak, it felt good to be by his side.
In the blink of an eye, Xue Qian and Gu Yafang's corpses all turned into mummies like Zhou Nanyue's, and the black mist that dissipated in the night also grew larger, several times larger than when it first appeared!
However, no one, not even the ghost, noticed any of this.
Xue Rui suddenly looked up subconsciously, but found nothing. He blinked in confusion. He had just felt something was wrong. Was it just his imagination?
Looking around, Zhou Feng and his group were walking towards him. It seemed they hadn't found anything, so was it just his imagination?
Lin Leyou is here? But if Lin Leyou is here, it can't be to give me a bad feeling, right?
Zhou Feng: "What's wrong? Why are you looking so worried?"
Lin Leyou shook his head, "Nothing, did you find anything?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"No, there's nothing there. I think we should go back. That vengeful ghost appeared once tonight, and I don't think it'll appear a second time. Let's come back tomorrow night."
Xue Rui said, "No, we still have to stay at the Lin residence tonight, even if we don't do anything. If we leave, this Master Lin will think we're incompetent, and we might miss some plot points later."
Zhou Feng: "Alright then, let's wait until dawn before we leave."
Fang Hong: "What about now? We've searched the entire Lin residence, but this prop hasn't reacted at all. Either the vengeful ghost has hidden itself using a special method, or it has left the Lin residence."
Xue Rui seemed to have thought of something, "What are Master Lin and his wife doing?"
Zhou Feng: "We don't know, but the candles in the main courtyard have been burning all the time. They're probably still awake and discussing something."
Fang Hong: "I think they still believe in ghosts, otherwise why wouldn't they be sleeping?"
Ding Baishuang looked towards the main courtyard, "I feel like I've missed something."
Xue Rui: "Speaking of this, I also have a strange, ominous feeling. What do you guys think?"
Zhou Feng and Fang Hong both shook their heads, "We don't feel anything."
Ding Baishuang and Xue Rui exchanged a glance.
Ding Baishuang said, "It's strange, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
Xue Rui: "That's right, we can't find any clues, it's like a ball of yarn with no end in sight."
Fang Hong: "It's such a mess. How about we look around some more? Maybe we can find the loose thread you mentioned?"
Zhou Feng suggested, "How about we go to the Lin family's ancestral graves and take another look?"
Fang Hong: "This... going to a cemetery so late at night? What if we encounter a ghost?"
Zhou Feng: "Anyway, we're going to find ghosts. Wouldn't it be even better if we could actually see one?"
Fang Hong stroked her chin. "Huh? What you said seems to make sense?"
Ding Baishuang said, "Go."
No one had any objections, and Xue Rui naturally wanted to go too. "Do you have a flashlight? Or a lantern? We can't go in the dark, can we?"
Fang Hong casually picked a lantern from the side. "Let's go, one should be enough, right?"
Zhou Feng felt it wasn't safe enough, so he grabbed another lantern. "That should be enough."
The four of them left the Lin residence through a side gate and headed towards the cemetery behind the mountain. Xue Rui had been to the cemetery before, so even though it was dark, he still knew the general location and direction.
The group walked cautiously forward in the night, as one wrong step would send them tumbling into the fields. Along the way, they passed several farmhouses.
Xue Rui, who was walking at the front, suddenly spotted a strange-looking object in the lantern light ahead of him. "Something's up!"
Everyone immediately became alert, some even grabbing their weapons, and slowly moved forward, soon spotting the object lying on the ground.
Fang Hong gasped, "This looks like a person, a mummified corpse?"
Zhou Feng, "..."
If he wasn't mistaken, this person was Zhou Nanyue?
Xue Rui obviously recognized him too. He glanced at Zhou Feng subconsciously and found that he didn't have any expression.
Lin Le persuaded Zhou Nanyue to kill him, but unexpectedly, he turned into a dried-up corpse?
The marks left on Zhou Nanyue's neck by strangulation, now that she was a dried-up corpse, were naturally undetectable.
Xue Rui: "It was done by a ghost. Should we tell the Lin family about this?"
