Chapter 205 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Zhoushan glanced at Kong Shubai out of the corner of his eye, but found that Kong Shubai looked tense and was obviously afraid of the vengeful ghost.
The other guests' expressions didn't change when he said those words, as if they all knew the truth. So, these people have all guessed the truth of the matter, right?
What should we do? If they find out the truth, shouldn't he do something to protect the Lin family after the vengeful ghost is eliminated?
Zhang Jian and the other players probably never imagined that Lin Zhoushan, whom they were protecting, wasn't thinking about how to thank them, but rather how to eliminate them after this matter was resolved.
However, they are still thinking about how to lure out the evil spirit and get rid of it, or rather, this evil spirit is now so strong that they are completely unable to deal with it.
Ji Yan glanced at everyone and said, "I have a bad feeling about this. Do you think we have enough props?"
Xue Rui said, "This vengeful ghost has drained so many people of their life force, so its strength has probably increased several times over. I'm quite curious, what exactly did you guys do?"
Zhang Jian, "What do you mean?"
Xue Rui acted as if he really didn't know anything about it, "Generally speaking, vengeful ghosts don't actively attack people who gather together... like us, but Wang Xiangran was attacked and killed when he was with you. How did that happen?"
Upon hearing this, not only Zhang Jian, but also the others were stunned for a moment, as if they had just come to understand the cause and effect of the matter.
Zhang Jian said in a deep voice, "The vengeful ghost is Gu Wenya. Our previous actions have angered her, so she wants to kill us and that's why she's dealing with us ahead of time."
Ji Yan: "Holy crap, is it too late for me to go and get that thing now?"
Kong Shubai: "Are you crazy? Going there now? What if you get killed by a vengeful ghost on the way? And who's going with you now?!"
Qi Miaofan said, "Just consider yourself unlucky. When the vengeful ghost comes out, the four of us will have to bear most of the hatred."
Zhang Jian thought, "This is an unexpected disaster. It seems I can't be so careless in similar situations in the future."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xue Rui and said, "Thank you for reminding me."
Xue Rui: "So what exactly did you do?"
Zhang Jian glanced at Lin Zhoushan, "It's all because this Mr. Lin spoke unclearly before, so we went to the back mountain to dig up Gu Wenya's grave and took a look. What we found... I think Mr. Lin knows the answer in his heart."
Very good. As long as Zhang Jian doesn't say anything and Lin Zhoushan is secretive and doesn't say anything in detail, then the matter of the golden short sword will not be discovered.
As expected, Lin Zhoushan's expression changed drastically, but he didn't say much, only...
"So you already knew, so this vengeful ghost is Aya, right?"
Aya...
The way they addressed each other was still so intimate. I wonder if Lin Zhoushan felt even a little bit guilty, or even a little bit regretful.
Seeing the fearful, twisted, and sinister expression on his face, Xue Rui sighed inwardly. This Lin Zhoushan was indeed without remorse, or rather, his nature was selfish.
Everything he did was for himself.
Lin Leyou floated around, watching the farce unfold. Wasn't it time for it to end?
Gu Wenya will definitely take action tonight. After all, she's killed so many servants in the backyard and drained them dry, yet they haven't shown up yet, but that's because...
Lin Leyou turned to look at the gate of the Lin residence, where a large cloud of black mist was violently churning, mixed with a strong bloody color, and even a pungent bloody smell permeated the air.
At this moment, even the players below, including Lin Zhoushan and his group, could smell the intense and terrifying stench of blood.
Ji Yan: "It smells like blood. I think I'm doomed. The smell of blood is so strong..."
Fang Hong frowned slightly. Was this vengeful ghost really unkillable? Were they going to cooperate with it?
Zhou Feng and Ding Baishuang were also suspicious. The three of them looked at Xue Rui, who frowned and then said, "Kill him."
Fang Hong asked softly, "Really? What about before...?"
Xue Rui said, "Such a strong smell of blood indicates that this vengeful ghost has killed many people. Even if there is a reason for it, the final result can never be good."
Ding Baishuang said, "But we can also do a little something extra in this process."
Xue Rui blinked. "That's right."
Fang Hong and Zhou Feng glanced at the remaining ten people from the Lin family out of the corner of their eyes, and every single one of them deserved what they got.
Zhou Feng: "Then let's do it this way. We'll just take care of ourselves and won't be able to worry about the rest."
Xue Rui touched the short sword he had hidden. "The short sword I got before will definitely be useful."
Zhou Feng said, "The power might not be as strong as it was right after the burial. We need to weaken the vengeful spirit before we can use it."
They were quietly exchanging battle plans for the upcoming battle. Zhang Jian and his group were also discussing and exchanging ideas, determined not to be relegated to the sidelines and to secure more rewards.
As for Lin Zhoushan and the others, they were trembling and trying their best to get close to Master Lin, who was still relatively calm.
Lin Leyou arrived at the gate of the Lin residence. The black mist was still churning violently, as if a fierce battle was taking place inside.
He just stood there nearby, watching quietly.
The people on the main campus were still on high alert, but the black mist on Lin Leyou's side did not intend to attack. Instead, it gradually stabilized as time went by.
Lin Leyou frowned slightly. He felt that something was wrong with this black mist. The blood color in the black mist gradually became thicker, even exceeding the original black color.
The situation is not good. Gu Wenya may become a real murderous ghost, so taking a gentle approach is not feasible. Players must unite to kill the ghost Gu Wenya.
The so-called hidden rewards were probably related to him. Lin Leyou sighed. Sure enough, he was just a cannon fodder NPC. He wasn't strong enough to kill the target himself.
It was designed as a hidden reward. If the player kills him indiscriminately, it will definitely cause Gu Wenya to go berserk prematurely and then wipe out everyone in the Lin family, including the player himself.
Only by staying behind and waiting until they kill Gu Wenya will he appear before the players.
That being said, if Zhao Anxue and Lin Yangxu had been killed by the player before they died, would Gu Wenya still be considered to have completed the mission if she killed them later?
After careful consideration, I think it probably doesn't count.
The black fog in front of us churned once again, and this time it lasted for several hours until the sky gradually brightened. Of course, when we say it brightened, it was just that—brightened.
Although it's daytime, the sky is covered by thick, dark clouds, so there's no sunlight at all, and it's gloomy even when you're outside.
Not to mention going inside, which required lighting candles, so Lin Zhoushan and the others didn't dare to go inside at all. Lin Yangxu, in particular, looked even more terrified than Zhao Anxue, trembling as he did.
Zhao Anxue is currently comforting him. She herself really wanted to get closer to Lin Zhoushan for comfort, but Lin Zhoushan's face was still very gloomy, and she was afraid to go closer.
Zhang Jian looked at the gloomy sky. "It's been a whole night, and the vengeful ghost still hasn't come. Is it not coming?"
Xue Rui: "I think it's coming very soon."
Zhang Jian looked at him, "Why do you say that?"
Xue Rui said, "The vengeful ghost must have been trying to absorb the power that had been drained from so many people all night. Maybe we should go looking for it beforehand."
Zhang Jian finally started to get anxious, "Is it still too late to go look for it now?"
Xue Rui pointed ahead, "It's probably too late."
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw a female ghost dressed in red. The ghost's long, black hair covered her calves, and blood was dripping from her hair and clothes.
The blood fell to the ground, forming small red dots.
Long black hair covered most of her face, with only her nose and mouth visible.
etc!
Zhang Jian said, "The clothes she was wearing weren't red; the red was from blood."
Even without him saying it, Xue Rui and the others had already noticed this.
All the players brought out their best items in hopes of slowly whittling down the monster boss. But come to think of it, weren't there any mobs before?
Lin Zhoushan stared intently at the female ghost floating in the distance, his eyes seemingly glued to her, not even glancing away.
“Aya…”
That's right, Lin Zhoushan recognized her. This vengeful ghost was Gu Wenya. He was absolutely certain he wouldn't mistake her.
So it was Gu Wenya who returned as a vengeful ghost, not Lin Yang'an. No wonder... no wonder... I see!
Lin Zhoushan suddenly smiled, "I'm so stupid, I really..."
Xue Rui, "What is Master Lin saying?"
Lin Zhoushan seemed to have given up entirely, saying, "Actually, she was still alive when she was buried. I wanted to wait until she was really dead before burying her, but Xue just wouldn't have it. She was desperate to get into the Lin family."
"I don't know what possessed me at the time. I knew Aya wasn't dead, but I still pretended she was and had a funeral arranged. But when she was buried..."
To prevent her from becoming a vengeful ghost, a golden sword acquired at a high price was thrust into her chest; she should have been dead. But unexpectedly, she opened her eyes just as the coffin lid was about to close…
"I saw her open her eyes before the coffin lid was closed... I knew then that she would become a vengeful ghost, so I nailed nails around the coffin lid to prevent her from coming out."
"Unexpectedly, everything I did was in vain; it was only a matter of time before she figured it out."
Xue Rui, "Was it because of the death of her biological son?"
