Chapter 207 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Zhoushan originally thought that Gu Wenya would come looking for him after killing Zhao Anxue, but he didn't expect that Gu Wenya would first look for the guest named Zhang Jian.
And what's going on with the three people who were with Zhang Jian and the others?
Could it be because they secretly dug up Gu Wenya's grave without telling me? There shouldn't be such a deep grudge, so did they do something else?
Lin Zhoushan couldn't figure out why, but he was also relieved because if Gu Wenya attacked them first, his chances of survival would increase significantly.
The best outcome would be a draw, no, the best outcome would be mutual destruction. That way, we wouldn't have to fight these distinguished guests. Besides... judging by their skills, our people probably wouldn't be a match for them.
It will definitely be quite troublesome to deal with then, but Lin Zhoushan's expression remained unchanged.
Gu Wenya got into a fight with Zhang Jian and the others, and they could even see the red light emanating from her eyes, which were hidden behind her dark hair.
The red light that was previously invisible is now visible.
"Ah—" The vengeful ghost Gu Wenya screamed and rushed towards Ji Yan, who was momentarily stunned by the scream. If Zhang Jian, who was standing next to him, hadn't pulled him to his side, the ghostly claws might have slapped directly onto his face.
At that point, half of their head might be chopped off by the ghost claws.
Ji Yan looked at the vengeful ghost's black and red fingernails and swallowed hard. She had almost died just now. Dying wasn't scary; what was scary was losing 500 points for failing the level!
Xue Rui shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Everyone froze for a moment. Zhang Jian and Ji Yan quickly moved to the side, but they soon realized that Xue Rui wasn't talking about them, but rather...
Zhang Jian, "Kong Shubai!"
Kong Shubai was also stunned when he heard Xue Rui's shout, but he still subconsciously took a step back, but that step was not enough.
Perhaps because Ji Yan had just dodged Gu Wenya's attack, she found the right angle for this attack, and even continued to move forward as she extended her ghostly claws.
Even though Kong Shubai subconsciously took a step back, he was still scratched by her outstretched claws.
Kong Shubai screamed and collapsed to the ground, clutching the several blood-sucking claw marks on his chest and howling in agony. The veins on his neck and face bulged, showing just how much pain he was in.
Everyone wanted to go forward to help him, but Gu Wenya didn't finish him off. Instead, she went for Qi Miaofan. Qi Miaofan was so shocked that her hair stood on end and she immediately ran towards Zhang Jian.
At this moment, everyone was busy dealing with the charging ghosts. Kong Shubai, who was slumped on the ground wailing incessantly, naturally had no time to pay attention to them and could only leave it to fate.
If we had decent items, we might be able to survive, perhaps even until they kill the vengeful ghost, complete the mission, and clear the game.
However... things didn't go as well as everyone expected. As time went on, Kong Shubai became increasingly pained, rolling on the ground while clutching his body and howling in agony.
Lin Leyou looked at Kong Shubai and found him uninteresting, so she turned her gaze away and continued to look at Gu Wenya.
At this moment, Gu Wenya had completely lost her mind and turned into a monster who only knew how to kill.
"Hahaha... They all have to die! They all have to die!"
"Die...die...all of you die!"
Gu Wenya opened her mouth wide and roared and shouted continuously, attacking while yelling "Go die, go die!" Everywhere around her, including the walls, roads, artificial hills, etc., was covered with marks left by her fingernails.
Xue Rui, "This is way too difficult..."
Fortunately, despite the difficulties, their attacks were still effective, leaving many wounds on Gu Wenya's body, which were fading... meaning the recovery time was getting longer and longer.
The burns from the peach wood sword on her body were getting deeper and deeper, and everyone knew that Gu Wenya's recovery ability was beginning to decline.
As expected, their bodies were filled with undigested power, and attacking them directly like that would have been a foolish decision, though it did make things easier for them.
Just then, they noticed that Kong Shubai seemed to have stopped wailing for a while. Upon closer inspection, they found that Kong Shubai was nowhere to be seen. His body had completely turned into blood, and he was no longer where he had been lying.
Where there was only a pool of sticky flesh and blood, Gu Wenya let out a strange laugh that sent chills down one's spine. She quickly floated over and absorbed all the flesh and blood on the ground into her body.
Xue Rui, "Oh no!"
Gu Wenya's breathing noticeably rose another notch.
Fang Hong: "Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? How are we supposed to fight like this!"
Zhou Feng: "Everyone be careful, she'll definitely unleash a powerful attack after absorbing the power. Remember to either withstand it or dodge it!"
People started running away, some even climbing over the wall to hide outside.
In this courtyard, only Lin Zhoushan and a few servants remained. After seeing that all the distinguished guests had fled, everyone began to run away in a panic, but their speed was no match for that of the players.
As Lin Zhoushan fled, he could only watch as his wife, who used to speak gently to him, used her sharp claws to kill the servants who couldn't escape one by one.
Some had their necks snapped, some had their heads crushed, and some even had their hearts ripped out. Lin Zhoushan stopped and looked at the heart that had been thrown to the ground in front of him and that he had accidentally stepped on.
He kept his head down, not daring to look up, because there was no sound around him. However, he could see a pair of floating feet appear in his field of vision.
Gu Wenya floated in front of him, and he was acutely aware that he was about to die.
The next moment, before he even realized what was happening, he found that his perspective had changed and he could only feel a pair of hands as cold as ice cradling his head.
He slowly brought his head toward her face, but he could only see Gu Wenya's nose and mouth, which were not covered by her black hair; he couldn't see anything else.
He wanted to call out "Aya" again, but...
He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. Only then did he realize that the height was a bit abnormal. Gu Wenya was floating. No matter how tall he was, it was impossible for him to be directly in front of Gu Wenya's face without looking up.
So what's going on here...?
He suddenly heard something fall to the ground, and he still couldn't feel his own body, hands, feet, or any other part of his body. So, is the situation what he thought it was?
The players were all peering over the wall at the scene in the main courtyard. There were corpses everywhere, and blood everywhere. Of course, the family of three had suffered the worst deaths.
Especially Linzhou Mountain.
Fang Hong exclaimed, "Wow, his head's been off for so long, and he's still not dead?"
Xue Rui said, "That's really impressive. But it's not that he's impressive; it's that Gu Wenya has kept his brain alive. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be conscious."
Fang Hong: "What do we do now? Gu Wenya was killing people so fast when she went berserk! In the blink of an eye, several people were dead. Luckily, we ran fast."
Zhou Feng said, "Once she kills Lin Zhoushan, it will be our turn."
Xue Rui, "Go now?"
Fang Hong said, "I always feel that going there now might disturb Gu Wenya's interest, and might even make her more agitated."
Zhang Jian also felt that rushing in now was not a good idea. "Then let's wait?"
Xue Rui said, "Let's think of a solution."
He touched the short sword he had been hiding and hadn't taken out. It must be useful, but he didn't know how to use it.
Are they really asking him to stab Gu Wenya? If he manages to stab her and she doesn't die, then he'll be the one being hunted down.
Xue Rui didn't think he was powerful enough to survive being relentlessly pursued and killed by such a powerful ghost.
Lin Zhoushan realized his current state, and his previously calm expression instantly changed. "Ah! Ah... Ya..."
He managed to utter two sounds, as if calling for Aya, but the person in front of him was the vengeful ghost Gu Wenya, not his former wife Aya.
Vengeful spirits have no compassion; she only wants to kill Lin Zhoushan, but she doesn't want him to die too easily. "Hehe... Ahahaha... Die! Die, all of you!"
"You're going to die! I'll kill you... I'll kill you! Die..."
"To be buried alive with them! To be buried alive with them... they all have to die..."
"Why...you beast! Die, all of you...I'll kill you!"
Gu Wenya kept saying "I'll kill you, go to hell," but you could still glean some information from other snippets of conversation.
For example, she still remembered to make these people pay with their lives for her son, which means she knew that these people had killed her only remaining hope in this world.
The reason why he didn't become a vengeful ghost and return to seek revenge all these years is probably because his son is still alive and living in the Lin family mansion. He can't live without the Lin family's financial support, after all, he needs to take medicine.
But if her only son were dead, she would have no such worries and would take revenge for both her son and herself at the same time!
Xue Rui watched as Gu Wenya kept talking into Lin Zhoushan's head, her voice becoming increasingly shrill and hoarse, as if she had just regained a little bit of her rationality only to have it vanish without a trace.
With a sudden burst of strength, she crushed Lin Zhoushan's head with her bare hands, the fragments scattering to the ground.
This scene was witnessed by a player who was perched on the wall.
"Ugh..." Fang Hong really couldn't hold it in.
Even though the other players managed to hold back their vomiting, their complexions weren't much better. Even Xue Rui and Zhang Jian, who were usually quite calm, showed expressions of disgust.
Lin Leyou was also quite shocked to see this scene. It seemed that Gu Wenya's resentment towards Lin Zhoushan far exceeded that towards Zhao Anxue and Lin Yangxu, even though Lin Yangxu was the one who killed Lin Yang'an with his own hands, and even though Zhao Anxue was the culprit who bribed the servants of the Lin family to poison her.
