Chapter 290 [(*^▽^*)]
The two players led Lin Leyou and the others toward the mountains. "It's over there. We haven't found the item yet, but it's definitely over there."
"By the way, I've shared some clues, so are you going to share something with me too?"
Lin Leyou thought for a moment and then concealed what Fan Yu had said, telling them the couple's account and the accounts he had obtained from the villagers.
They listened, bewildered. "Why does it feel like everyone's got their own version of the truth? Neither of them can convince the other."
"This is complicated. It seems I'll have to ask the villagers more questions later. I was so focused on finding clues before that I didn't have time to ask them about these things."
The two men led them to the cemetery behind the mountain. Xue Rui immediately recognized A Rong's grave, since he had come out of that coffin...
etc!
Xue Rui suddenly realized something: when he was locked in the coffin, he couldn't see what was happening outside. So the coffin he was in before was really the coffin where A Rong's body was placed.
Why is there nothing inside?
Xue Rui only realized this now. He was trapped in a coffin, but this coffin was likely not A Rong's coffin, nor any coffin in this cemetery, but a coffin that had been hidden by someone else.
In other words, although he used the random teleportation card, he did not teleport randomly to a short distance. The teleportation distance might not be that short; perhaps he teleported from somewhere in the village to the graveyard.
Lin Leyou noticed that his expression was a little off, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "Let's talk about it later, now's not a good time... Let's ask them what they're planning to do first. If it's digging up graves, absolutely not! At least not now, in broad daylight..."
It turned out they really did come to dig up the grave, and even brought tools to hand them over.
The two of them took a few steps back. "No, no, no, we don't need to."
They were completely bewildered. "Why? Hey, don't go... Aren't you going to do the important stuff? Aren't you going to give up the clues? Aren't you going to look for the quest items?"
No matter what they said, the two of them ran away without looking back, and they were so fast that they disappeared before the other two could finish their shouts.
"Holy crap? It runs that fast? In the blink of an eye, it's gone."
"What do we do now? They've run away, and it's just the two of us."
"Pah! What a coward! Since you ran away, we'll dig it ourselves! Come and dig up the grave! I don't believe there aren't any quest items in Ah Rong's coffin!"
Although the other party was scared, they were still attracted by the words "quest item". If they could get a quest item, wouldn't they make a fortune?
"If only it were an attack item, if only it were points, if only it were an item..."
They were muttering to themselves as they dug.
The two grown men quickly discerned the outline of the coffin; with a little more digging, they could unearth it. "Hopefully, there will be something good inside."
Just as the other person was about to reply, a voice came from behind them, "What good stuff? What good stuff do you want?"
Both of them were startled and jumped to their feet, turning around to look, only to see...
"Who are you?"
"You ask me who I am? I'd like to ask you who you are! Ah Rong was only buried a short time ago, what are you doing? Digging up her grave? How dare you!"
"Wait a minute, you guys seem to be the master the village chief invited back? Can a master do something like this? Even a master can't dig up graves! You need the village chief's permission to do that, what are you doing?!"
The two players were initially panicked, but after the initial shock subsided, they realized they were all alone and gradually developed the idea of killing him to cover their tracks. Fortunately, not long after, other people came from behind – villagers who had come to the back of the mountain with him.
Now their grave-digging is completely exposed and can no longer be hidden. Killing one or two villagers is no big deal, and hiding them is easy, but how many are behind them? At least ten villagers!
They can't just kill all these villagers, can they? And even if they start killing now, there's a high chance that the villagers at the back will escape.
Unless they use props, but most props are only for auxiliary purposes and none of them are the kind of props that can kill directly. Even if it is a knife, they have to use it themselves.
Soon, the whole village knew about their grave-digging. The two players were kicked out of the village by the furious village chief. Of course, they didn't actually fail to complete the game, but they were not allowed to appear in the villagers' sight. If they were not discovered, they could still continue to complete the game.
In any case, the conditions for clearing the game are to reveal the truth, search for the quest items, and finally escape from Yaoshan Village.
The last mission reveals that Yaoshan Village is not a safe place at all, but a place that can lead to death.
Xue Rui will most likely understand what this task means when he sees it.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui watched the commotion from a distance, only turning away when the two players had gone far enough away that they could no longer see each other's backs.
I went for a walk outside today and gained a lot.
As evening approached, the two faced another dilemma. In the end, Lin Leyou decided to take Xue Rui to the village chief's house. If the village chief didn't welcome them, they could stay together legitimately.
However, when they arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief treated them very well, which was completely different from how they had been during the day.
Especially his ferocious expression when he chased away the two grave-digging players.
Lin Leyou had a feeling something was going on, but he didn't know where to begin, so he could only talk to the village chief about random things.
"This is my junior brother. We're very close. We were separated before because we were training in different places. I never expected to run into him here. It's really fate. I wonder if I could take him to stay at my place?"
The village chief, of course, had no choice but to agree. He had two mentally challenged grandsons who ran around at night, and if they were discovered, his house would surely be crushed to pieces by the enraged villagers.
As a result, the village chief's family warmly saw Xue Rui and Lin Leyou off, and the two arrived at A Rong's house, which was the house where the couple lived.
When they saw that Lin Leyou had brought back an unfamiliar person, they asked, "Who is this...?"
Xue Rui: "I am Zheng Li. I stayed at the village chief's house last night. I didn't expect to see my senior brother here today, so I told the village chief that I would stay here with my senior brother. I wonder if you two mind?"
They certainly didn't mind. If Xue Rui had come to them and insisted on staying there, they definitely wouldn't have agreed. But since the village chief had agreed, there was no problem.
Anyway, whether it's one person or two, it's still the same place to live. Maybe the problem can be solved more perfectly in the end.
"One more person is enough. We've prepared a lot of dishes. Let's eat together, come on over."
Xue Rui sat next to Lin Leyou, looking at the sumptuous meal on the table with a hint of helplessness. He glanced at Lin Leyou and asked him with his eyes if he could eat.
Lin Leyou didn't say anything directly, but instead took out his chopsticks and ate some food, looking very ordinary, as if he were just eating at home.
Xue Rui didn't dwell on it. Since Lin Leyou had eaten it, it meant that there was nothing wrong with the food.
They ate a sumptuous meal, and even though they were stuffed, they still couldn't finish it all; there was still a lot left over.
Lin Leyou said, "We might go out tonight. Don't be surprised if you see anything. After all, ghosts only come out at night. We won't find any ghosts if we don't go out at night."
"No problem, you can go out now. But my husband and I are light sleepers, so please be a little quiet when you leave. If you wake us up, we might not be able to fall back asleep."
Lin Leyou thought of what he had seen with the mechanical spider that night, and goosebumps involuntarily rose on his arms. Fortunately, he covered them with his sleeve, so no one could see them.
"Okay, we'll be careful and make sure we don't make a sound."
After they finished talking, they went upstairs to their room. Xue Rui was quite surprised when he saw the room. "I didn't expect to stay in such a nice room. I didn't even have such a nice room at the village chief's house."
Lin Leyou said, "It's possible that the village chief's house was temporarily set aside for you, so the preparations were definitely not very thorough."
Xue Rui then nodded, "That's true."
His appearance did indeed surprise the village chief, so the village chief discovered many things from last night? For example, some of his inappropriate actions.
Lin Leyou said, "Take a shower first, then lie down and go to sleep. I'll wake you up when it's time to wake up."
As a result, Xue Rui really did take a shower, put on clean clothes, and went to sleep comfortably. Only Lin Leyou was cleaning the room, and he had to wash his own dirty clothes. The system wouldn't refresh the list of dirty clothes for them.
Of course there is a washing machine.
Lin Leyou only washed small items of clothing that were inconvenient to machine wash, and machine washed the rest. When she returned to her room, she saw Xue Rui sleeping soundly on his back.
He found it strange that Xue Rui slept so well at his house, but why was he sleeping like this in the dungeon?
Never mind, he needs to rest too. If he's well-rested, he won't be sleepy when he goes out at night.
The two lay in bed, completely unaware of what was happening outside; the couple was still downstairs.
The leftover food on the table was left unattended, making it look messy.
"Tell me, what should we do? We only had one master before, and we were counting on him to exorcise ghosts. Now, we have another one, and he's even a fellow disciple. He must have even more tricks up his sleeve."
Don't worry.
"Oh dear, how can I not worry! Those two fellow disciples are so powerful, what if they find out about this?"
"How could that be? Even if they discover something is wrong with us, so what? What evidence could they possibly have? Don't scare yourself!"
