Chapter 58 [Seeking support and collection]
Lin Leyou was completely bewildered.
The town mayor? Qingshui Town has a mayor? Why did he suddenly go berserk? What happened?
Also, why did Jiang Xiali say "this time"? Are there many more times?
Lin Leyou: "What happened? It went berserk? What should we do now?"
Jiang Xiali looked gloomy and helpless. "It's all because they're inhuman... I mean, the props those people collected, well, it's a long story... Anyway, let's get out of here first."
He pulled Lin Leyou away, saying as they walked, "I bet you don't know. Let me tell you, the mayor of Qingshui Town has a wife, and the couple are very loving."
"Life was good, but we never expected to be targeted by a few people. Yes, the same few people you're thinking of. Now we're one of them."
Lin Leyou quickly said, "We just came temporarily..."
Jiang Xiali said, "I know that too. If the mayor were sober, he would know that as well, but he's gone berserk and gone berserk right now... We can only hope for the best."
Lin Leyou resigned himself to his bad luck, "What exactly?"
In Jiangxia Village, "These people coveted the mayor's wealth and his beautiful wife, so they took advantage of the mayor's absence and broke into his house one night."
"The hotel owner took the mayor's wife's ruby and hid it in his necklace. The principal's cane was empty, but it contained what was said to be a treasure map passed down through the mayor's family. The woman in the church took a very precious cross that the mayor had found outside, which was said to be able to ward off evil spirits. The gravedigger loved money and stole most of the mayor's family's gold coins."
"They used a treasured dagger to cut off the mayor's wife's head and threw her body into the source of the Clearwater River. In the end, the butcher took the cursed dagger, while the cook, who loved the mayor's wife's face so much, took her head and even removed her heart before dumping the body."
"To avoid being discovered by the mayor, the chef buried the mayor's wife's head in a grove of trees not far from Qingshui Town and hid her heart inside his own body."
"And the gravedigger hid all the gold coins he had stolen in the tomb, guarding it day and night, never leaving it."
Lin Leyou was speechless. "So what? Why did the mayor go berserk? Could it be because..."
Jiang Xiali sighed helplessly, "Of course I can't stand it."
Lin Leyou had a thought, "Could it be..."
Jiang Xiali: "That's right, just as you thought!"
"Actually, the mayor discovered that they were the ones who did it a long time ago and killed them many times. But they would reappear after a while. If there wasn't enough time, they would find someone to temporarily fill in. Like us, the mayor killed the innkeeper and the butcher before. This instance is about to open, and there isn't enough time, so he sent us here."
"It's all to welcome wave after wave of..."
Lin Leyou knew that this was in order to welcome the players.
"Does the mayor experience the pain of losing his wife every time?"
In Jiangxia Village, “Of course not. By the time they arrived, all of this had already happened. What grieved the mayor was that he couldn’t truly kill the villains who killed his wife. No matter how many times he tried, they would always come back. What he found most unacceptable was that he couldn’t collect his wife’s remains and give her a proper burial.”
Lin Leyou, "Can't be changed?"
Jiang Xia sighed, "Everyone knows that this mayor will get into trouble sooner or later, but I never expected to run into him by such a coincidence, it's really..."
Lin Leyou blinked, a bad feeling creeping over him. "What do we do now?"
Jiang Xiali: "What do you mean, what can we do? What else can we do? The mayor wants to kill us, so of course we have to hide!"
Lin Leyou asked, "Wouldn't you call this an undeserved disaster?"
In Jiangxiali, "If anyone's to blame, it's them for not handling this matter properly."
Lin Leyou, "Them?"
In Jiangxiali, "Orderman, there's a problem here. They'll send someone to handle it soon. We just need to get through this period."
Lin Leyou, "Can you handle that town mayor?"
Jiang Xia rolled her eyes. "How could that be? If it weren't for the mayor going berserk, I might be able to put up a fight, but now, it's impossible..."
"The entire town of Qingshui has become his territory. We can only enter but not leave. He has a power boost in his own territory, while we have nothing. Fortunately, the entire town of Qingshui is too large, so he can't pinpoint our location for the time being."
Lin Leyou was still a little worried, "When will the security guards you mentioned arrive?"
Jiang Xiali thought for a moment, "It will probably take fifteen minutes to half an hour. By the way, putting that aside for now, where do you think would be a good place to hide it?"
Lin Leyou had no idea, "Hidden at the source of the Qingshui River?"
He just said it subconsciously, after all, the source of the Qingshui River is on the edge of the town, maybe he can find a chance to escape.
Jiang Xiali, however, thought it was pretty good and gave Lin Leyou a thumbs up.
"Let's go over there."
Lin Leyou was surprised instead. "Can we really go? I was just saying it casually. Isn't that the place where the body was dumped? The mayor will definitely go there, right? To collect his wife's remains."
Jiang Xiali shook his head. "What you said makes sense, but the reality is quite the opposite. The mayor has been there countless times before, and every time he does the same thing: collects his wife's remains. But every time he does this, the body is restored to its original state."
"Over time, he stopped doing such futile work and instead focused on killing these sinners completely."
Lin Leyou said, "But this time he went berserk; perhaps it was an instinctive urge to go?"
"It's not impossible, but do you think there are other places we can go?" Jiangxia Li.
Lin Leyou said, "This is really frustrating. Let's go over there then, hopefully we can escape this."
He didn't know how powerful the berserk mayor was, but... according to Jiang Xiali, this berserk mayor was capable of killing seven mini-bosses and even turning the entire Qingshui Town into his own territory.
This shows that he has no chance against the mayor right now, especially since he has no weapons and no territory to rely on.
If we were to return to the butcher's territory, the slaughterhouse, the town mayor would definitely come knocking on our door, and then...
Besides, although I have some props on me, what use are they? I don't know if I can use the Black Mirror's skill to become part of the Song camp and hold out for even a few minutes.
What Lin Leyou never expected was that when Jiang Xiali brought him to the upper reaches of the Qingshui River, they actually saw someone who, in principle, should never have been there.
"Mr. Lin?"
Then the other person looked at Jiang Xiali with great surprise, "Hotel owner?"
That's right, the person who appeared in front of them was Xue Rui.
