Chapter 353 [(*^▽^*)]
After several trials, Lin Leyou roughly realized something. This was not a sound heard with his ears, but rather a sound that belonged to ghosts and monsters, perceived by his brain... no, by his soul.
Although he couldn't see or touch it, his intuition told him that the thing making the somewhat noisy noise was under the pile of junk in front of him.
That is the place where the couple hid their remains.
That makes sense. The remains are all here. Even if that thing wanted to hide, where could it possibly hide?
Lin Leyou didn't waste any time. He reached out and overturned the neatly arranged miscellaneous items on the ground. The items fell to the ground with a clatter and rolled everywhere.
Without even glancing at the items, he opened the box and gently placed the peach branch in his hand on the blanket wrapping the remains.
At that moment, Lin Leyou felt his mind go blank, and his vision went completely black for a moment, as if his soul had been attacked by something invisible. He stood there for a while before his vision gradually returned.
When he could see a little more clearly, he quickly retrieved his peach branch, put it back in his backpack, swiftly closed the box, and casually picked up a few things at his feet, tossing them haphazardly onto the box.
This once neat and tidy corner has become messy and disorderly, looking as if Xue Rui accidentally bumped into something on it and then casually picked up a few things and threw them on it.
Xue Rui was still at the back door, watching Lin Leyou's figure. When he saw that the other party had been standing in front of the box for a long time without moving, he became a little anxious and called out, "Brother Lin."
But to his surprise, Lin Leyou didn't say anything, and didn't even turn around to look at him, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.
What's going on? Just as he was about to go in, Lin Leyou moved. He put away his peach branches, made a simple arrangement, and quickly left through the back door.
Xue Rui, "Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou hadn't heard anything before, but now that he was closer, or perhaps because time had passed and he was recovering, he could hear a little bit of Xue Rui's voice, but he didn't know what he was saying.
And my vision hasn't fully recovered yet; I still see a lot of double images outside. "Hmm?"
Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, you look a bit off. What happened in there?"
Although Lin Leyou couldn't hear what he was saying, she could easily guess that he was asking what had just happened. "This isn't the place to talk, let's go."
Xue Rui paused for a moment before nodding, "Okay."
So is there something wrong or nothing wrong?
They didn't go too far before heading to the small wooden cabin they had just cleaned up. The two of them sat facing each other on the floor inside.
Xue Rui then realized that Lin Leyou's gaze had been out of focus, and although Lin Leyou responded to his words, he wasn't actually answering his questions.
"Brother Lin..."
He waved his hand in front of Lin Leyou's eyes, but Lin Leyou grabbed it, saying, "Stop fooling around, it'll be over soon."
Xue Rui, "Can't see clearly?"
At this point, Lin Leyou was able to hear a word or two, "Unclear? Yes, I can't see clearly for a while, but it's slowly recovering, don't worry."
Xue Rui, "What about the ears?"
He reached out and touched Lin Leyou's ear, but Lin Leyou dodged away. "Don't touch me like that. It'll be fine in a bit. Just let me rest."
Xue Rui was very worried, fearing that something had happened to Lin Leyou.
Fortunately, after about half an hour, Lin Leyou had almost recovered. He blinked and looked around, "I can see and hear clearly now."
Xue Rui, "Is it because..."
Lin Leyou: "I just received a system notification."
Xue Rui, "What hint?"
Lin Leyou smiled. Not only did he receive a mission notification, but he also received a very generous reward.
"System notification: Congratulations to Lin Leyou for dispelling one Yin spirit and gaining the talent Soul Transformation."
A talent card lay quietly in his backpack. He didn't take it out; this thing was also very important to him. Giving Xue Rui a talent card before was already very kind of him.
If he wants to have other talent cards, then he should work hard for them himself. He can't keep letting me raise them forever, can he?
I didn't expect Huang Bing to be right; you really can get talent cards in this dungeon!
Of course, it's possible that I just got incredibly lucky. If someone else were to kill a ghost in the same way, they would most likely not get a talent card either.
After all, killing this ghost is no easy task.
First, you can't use weapons or items of interest; second, you can't use talents. Using only auxiliary items, it's impossible to kill an invisible and intangible ghost.
This might involve asking the village elders for information, spending time and effort to find items or potions to enchant certain weapons, and finally forming a team to kill the ghosts.
Even then, success is not guaranteed.
There's probably no one else like Lin Leyou who possesses gold-grade materials. This thousand-year-old peach tree branch is really useful. Thank you, Xue Qian, for this wonderful gift!
Xue Rui, "Brother Lin, are you really alright?"
Lin Leyou didn't say it directly, but instead took out her phone and sent him a message: "The system notified me that I killed a ghost and was rewarded with a lot of points. You can go into that house with peace of mind now, without worrying anymore."
Xue Rui blinked after reading it, then smiled and said, "Hmm."
Lin Leyou said, "It was really not easy. I made a mess of it inside. I thought that since I was going to move it anyway, I might as well just mess it all up to confuse people."
Xue Rui: "It's alright. As long as that thing is still inside, there won't be any problems for them."
Lin Leyou: "That's good."
After he finished speaking, he stood up. Xue Rui subconsciously helped him up, and after they stood up, they both stared at each other in a daze.
Lin Leyou withdrew her arm. "No need to help me."
Xue Rui coughed lightly, "Mhm!"
It was noon soon. When Xue Rui's parents brought lunch, they were shocked to see the mess in the house. After confirming that Xue Rui was not in the house, they immediately opened the box to check its contents.
They breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything inside was intact. They quickly tidied up the box and then picked up all the scattered items on the ground and put them back in their proper places.
"What exactly happened? What a mess..."
"The stuff inside... should be fine, right?"
"It's nothing. I put the blanket on myself and didn't touch it. It must have been something on it that was accidentally knocked off. It's alright, it's alright."
"That's good. It'll be soon. Once we get through this period, we'll see..."
Then you'll see their baby.
Little did they know that the little treasure in their hearts had just vanished completely.
Xue Rui returned after they finished packing. He stood at the door and looked inside. "Hmm? You're all done packing?"
"Xiao Rui, what happened to you? It's a mess inside, we can't even see you. It scared us."
Xue Rui said calmly, "I accidentally bumped into it with my arm when I was passing by, and it all fell down. Why did you pile things up so high?"
"It's alright, it's alright. We just had nowhere to put them. These may be odds and ends, but they're all useful!"
Xue Rui didn't know whether he believed it or not, but since the evil spirit had been eliminated, it was fine for him to go into the house now. "Oh."
He sat in the chair, looking at the food. "Lunch?"
"Yes, yes, eat up, it's still hot!"
Xue Rui no longer had any reservations; after all, it was impossible for him to poison her.
He took a bite and found it delicious. Their cooking skills were indeed excellent, much better than his own.
Seeing him eating so heartily, the couple didn't leave. They just watched him eat. Xue Rui didn't feel awkward at all. After he finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and they cleaned up the place and took the dishes with them.
"Remember to be home tonight, we'll bring you food again."
Xue Rui nodded. He was actually thinking of moving back now, but he wasn't sure if Qin Fengmian knew they had destroyed the Yin spirit. If he did know, he would take other actions.
If he doesn't know... he'll hold back, so they'll have to wait and see.
The wait lasted until evening. Xue Rui received a message from Lin Leyou that Zhao Changzhou, who was seriously ill, had recovered from his fever. Not only him, Qin Jiao and Hua Jiao had also woken up, though they still had a slight fever. They should be fully recovered by tomorrow.
After discussing it, they found there was nothing else to do, so they remained inactive.
As expected, nothing else went wrong in the village for the next ten days, and everything remained peaceful.
Qin Fengmian and Zhao Changzhou haven't made any moves or targeted them. There are still half a month left, and it's unclear whether their mission is related to Xue Rui.
However, Lin Leyou and his team's mission is rather tricky. They haven't managed to stop a massacre yet, and they still don't know who the target of the massacre is.
Zhao Qiang and Zhou Wanwan have been living peacefully for a while now. Of course, this peacefulness means that Zhao Qiang beats his wife every day, but he doesn't beat her too badly because he wants her to give birth to a son, so nothing serious has happened.
Elsewhere, apart from Qin Jiao and Hua Jiao sometimes doing things that are probably related to their missions, everything is really peaceful.
Of course, Lin Leyou still doesn't know where Jiang Xiaoyue has gone. In any case, the police haven't caught her yet!
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui sat in a house halfway up the mountain, still communicating by typing on their phones.
Xue Rui said, "Neither of them has made a move."
Lin Leyou said, "Perhaps it's not that they're not taking any action, but rather that they're waiting."
Xue Rui, "Waiting for me?"
Lin Leyou said, "Apart from that, there is no other explanation."
Xue Rui: "My parents' emotions are becoming more and more apparent, probably within the next few days."
Lin Leyou said, "And they haven't made a move yet, probably because they haven't discovered what we did that day."
On that day, Lin Leyou killed the vengeful spirit with the golden prop, the thousand-year-old peach tree branch, and he also luckily obtained a talent card.
