Chapter 208 [(*^▽^*)]
Sure enough, in Gu Wenya's eyes, Lin Zhoushan was the root of all the trouble. Everything was caused by him, and Gu Wenya was right to hate the wrong person.
Lin Leyou sighed. Was he still of any use? His mission was complete, but the instance wasn't over yet, so he had no choice but to stay here.
It's unclear what the conditions for Xue Rui and his team to complete the mission are, as no player has received a notification that the mission is finished yet.
If they receive a notification, at least one or two of them will shout out, saying things like, "Finally, we've cleared the game!" or "Finally, we've completed the mission!"
Did they really kill Gu Wenya?
Xue Rui and the others had no other choice at the moment. After crushing Lin Zhoushan's head, Gu Wenya didn't bother to clean the things on her hands. She suddenly turned her head to look at where they were.
Of course, it was Zhang Jian and his two companions who were still in pursuit.
Gu Wenya truly remembered very clearly the matter of throwing other people's corpses into the coffin.
Zhang Jian has wanted to go back in time more than once, to wake up her past self, and tell you to stop going through all that trouble. Why not just put the corpses in a pile of weeds taller than a person?
Where would we be in this mess now!
"Xue Rui, we'll go first, you guys attack the evil spirits from behind!"
Xue Rui nodded, "Okay!"
That's all we can do now.
Zhang Jian and the others ran ahead, dodging Gu Wenya's attacks while constantly having to withstand her shrieks.
Because every time she screams, a random player will be stunned, even if it's just for a short while, it can be fatal. Everyone is on high alert, and if someone suddenly stops moving, they have to go and pull them up.
Xue Rui followed behind, and just as Zhang Jian and the others were not paying attention and Gu Wenya's claws were about to land on Qi Miaofan, he immediately drew his short sword and rushed over at top speed.
With maximum force, he thrust the short sword into Gu Wenya's back, near her heart.
At this moment, Gu Wenya's fingernail was only about one centimeter away from Qi Miaofan's eye.
Qi Miaofan thought she was going to die, but to her surprise, Gu Wenya's attack stopped at that moment. Not only did she stop attacking, but she also remained in the same position.
Are you frozen in place?
impossible!
Xue Rui swallowed hard and quickly backed away. "Something feels off. Everyone, keep your distance!"
The players didn't know, but Lin Leyou could see it very clearly.
Gu Wenya's heart is the core of her power, the source of her strength. Once this core is destroyed, the uncontrollable power she forcibly sealed within her body will go berserk.
He could now see that the power within Gu Wenya's body was already surging wildly. The reason she had remained still in that position was because she couldn't control her body for a short period of time after the power became uncontrollable.
Once Xue Rui and the others had gone far enough, Gu Wenya covered her face with trembling hands. Soon after, she began to frantically twist her body, letting out heart-wrenching screams that could pierce one's ears.
All the players had their faces contorted in agony, clutching their ears tightly, but the scream seemed to pierce through their fingers and bones, relentlessly drilling into their brains.
It's so torturous.
Xue Rui's hands, which were covering his ears, felt a little sticky. When he took his fingers out, he saw blood! His ears were bleeding!
"Damn it! My ear is bleeding!"
Looking at the blood on her fingers and touching her ear, Ji Yan, who was not far away, said, "This is terrifying. If they keep screaming like this, can we even hold on until the end?"
Is there anything else they can do?
Zhang Jian: "Look over there at the vengeful ghost! It looks like there's something else going on!"
Suddenly, several cuts appeared on Gu Wenya's body, from which gushed red and black blood. This blood, like a raging flood, rapidly engulfed the entire Lin Mansion in just a few seconds.
Xue Rui and the others watched with trepidation as the dark red blood rushed toward them. Regardless of whether they were aware of the danger or not, they all felt a chill run down their spines.
They all knew immediately that the blood must not be touched, and they all went crazy, scrambling and crawling to the roof.
Qi Miaofan was the last one to go up. He noticed that his shoes had accidentally gotten a little dirty, so he immediately kicked them off.
He climbed up to the roof, but his shoes fell into the bloody water below. In a second, the shoes were completely corroded and nothing was left.
When they realized they were temporarily safe, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Standing on the rooftop, looking down at the churning black and red waves, they all felt a sense of despair.
Wouldn't that mean they're doomed?
This dungeon is so difficult, can they really clear it?
Is Gu Wenya going to control this blackish-red water to attack them next? They can only hide on this rooftop; if a big wave comes, they could all be wiped out.
Xue Rui pointed to where Gu Wenya had just been, "Look over there."
They all looked over. Gu Wenya had a short sword stuck in her back. Xue Rui had used a lot of force just now, so only the hilt was left outside. From a distance, you could still see that the hilt was emitting a golden light.
Gu Wenya sat slumped in the blood, looking as if she was on the verge of death.
Fang Hong, "An opportunity?"
Xue Rui: "We can't get through this."
Fang Hong, recalling how quickly the blood had corroded the shoes, could only nod helplessly. "You're right. So what do we do now? Just wait?"
At this moment, Lin Leyou actually received a system notification.
Hint: What can we do now?
Lin Leyou blinked. What could he do? What could he do?
He stroked his chin. Was this a sign that he was being given free rein? So what was it?
Never mind, he'll go to Gu Wenya's side first and see. Gu Wenya's body no longer has the out-of-control power. Although she is still a vengeful ghost, she has regained some of her rationality.
Zhou Feng: "Look quickly, what's happening over there with Gu Wenya!"
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that a figure had indeed appeared.
Xue Rui recognized the figure immediately as Lin Leyou. What was he up to?
Lin Leyou appeared before Gu Wenya. Gu Wenya, who had been grimacing, burst into tears upon seeing him, "Xiao An..."
Lin Leyou took a deep breath, "Mother."
Gu Wenya said, "Xiao An, Mother misses you so much... I've been watching you... I can only watch you secretly..."
“You were mistreated by them…you were beaten to death…and your mother could only watch…”
Lin Leyou sighed, "Don't be sad anymore. They're all dead. You killed them with your own hands. Do you remember?"
"In this world, all our enemies are dead."
Gu Wenya nodded, "Mother knows... They're all dead... Mother took revenge with her own hands..."
Lin Leyou, "It's time for us to go..."
Gu Wenya didn't refute at all, but looked at Lin Leyou with a very gentle gaze, "Mother knows... It's time to go... It's time..."
As she spoke, she grasped Lin Leyou's hand, "Let's go... Xiao An... come with your mother..."
The more she spoke, the weaker her breath became. Lin Leyou turned to look at Xue Rui and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Upon hearing these words, Gu Wenya revealed a final smile before her figure gradually became transparent and vanished in front of Lin Leyou.
The golden dagger that had just been stuck in her body fell into the dark red blood, but as Gu Wenya disappeared, the blood quickly dissipated.
In just a few seconds, the blood covering the entire Lin Mansion disappeared completely.
Zhou Feng: "That vengeful ghost is still floating over there. Should we go take a look?"
Xue Rui said, "Wait for me here, I'm coming over."
Fang Hong: "No, it's too dangerous!"
Zhang Jian and the others didn't quite agree either, "Maybe they want to kill him?"
Xue Rui shook his head. "I've seen him before. He's Lin Yang'an, the young master of the Lin family who was killed by Lin Yangxu."
Ji Yan, "So he's Lin Yang'an?"
This was the first time they had met Lin Yang'an. Wait, Xue Rui said they had met before.
"You've met him before?!"
Xue Rui smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, since we only met once and I didn't get any useful information, I haven't said anything."
"But he was quite friendly to me and didn't attack me, so I thought I'd talk to him first, maybe I'll be able to clear the game soon."
"As for you, you shouldn't come along. I've met him before and I'm more familiar with him."
Although everyone was somewhat unwilling, they still let Xue Rui go alone. However, they didn't stay far away; they hid around a corner not far away, just enough to hear their conversation.
Xue Rui slowly approached Lin Leyou, who was floating near the golden short sword. "Hello, Lin... Young Master Lin."
Lin Leyou looked at him. At this moment, the blood on his face was not so terrifying anymore, after all, the player had just seen the sea of blood covering the entire Lin Mansion.
"Hello, guest."
Xue Rui: "The matter at the Lin family's residence has been resolved..."
Lin Leyou: "Yes, I should go too."
Xue Rui, "Then..."
Lin Leyou said, "Thank you so much. Without you, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Xue Rui, “…”
Lin Leyou said, "Don't blame my mother, she... she just loves me too much."
Xue Rui, "You..."
Lin Leyou, "It's fate that we meet again. I hope that next time we meet, we can have a good talk."
Xue Rui watched as Lin Leyou's body gradually turned into nothingness, leaving only a sliver of starlight that dissipated in his black eyes.
"Hint: Congratulations on clearing the dungeon! You have earned 5000 points! Do you wish to exit the dungeon?"
Players who received this notification all breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, we've cleared the game, let's go!"
"Although I didn't get the hidden reward, it's still good to be able to clear the level, 5000 points."
