Chapter 93 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou didn't think it really required dozens of cuts to kill the skeleton ghost in front of him; rather, he felt that he was using the knife incorrectly this time.
This skeleton ghost might be a different species from the evil spirits we encountered before? So the way to kill it is different too?
He held the knife and tried to brandish it at the skeleton a few times. Finally, he actually saw something: a black bead between the skeleton's two collarbones.
To be honest, the color of this bead is exactly the same as its skin color. If I hadn't looked closely, I really wouldn't have been able to tell.
vomit!
However, once he got closer, the smell was really strong, and he couldn't help but gag.
However, once he actually saw it, the bead became quite obvious. Lin Leyou tried poking the bead with a knife, and the bead shattered immediately with just a light touch of the knife tip.
After the bead shattered, it fell to the floor, and the fragments were scattered everywhere. Some rolled under the bed, while others flew to other corners.
Lin Leyou looked at the skeleton cautiously.
Sure enough, the skeleton ghost gradually melted away from its skin, as if it had been corroded by concentrated acid.
Once the skin is gone, it's the bone's turn. The bone dissolves somewhat slowly, but at a steady pace.
Lin Leyou stared at the skeleton cautiously until it completely dissolved, leaving only a pool of black, foul-smelling liquid on the floor before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He died like that?
That's not right. He didn't receive any system notifications. Does that mean he's still alive?
Or is there something fishy about this black stain on the floor?
The dissolution of the skeleton ghost's body took some time. Lin Leyou rubbed his temples. Now he could make another cut, but only one.
He could feel the stab he just received.
If he loses three-quarters of his sanity for an extended period, his mental state will also be unable to withstand it.
He plunged the sharp knife into the black stain, the tip of which went all the way into the floor.
Suddenly, the black stain began to writhe and change direction as if trying to escape, but because it was pierced by a sharp knife and fixed to the ground, it could not escape no matter how it changed direction.
Lin Leyou even heard the substance emit a sharp scream, and he covered his ears in discomfort.
The sound was terrifying; he felt a buzzing in his head, as if an electric drill was drilling into his skull, which was unbearable.
Fortunately, after putting up a stubborn resistance for a while, the black stain disappeared completely, leaving behind a final, unwilling roar.
"Congratulations to Lin Leyou for slaying the Skeleton Demon. Reward: 200 points."
Two hundred points!
Before Lin Leyou could even feel happy, she picked up the card from the ground, put it in her backpack, and examined it.
"Item Card: Use to obtain a random green-grade item."
...
Green clothing?
Killing this skeleton ghost rewards you with 200 points, but the item it drops is just a random green item?
Green gear is slightly better than the lowest-tier white gear; it's not useless, but it's not very useful either. It seems the rewards are biased towards rewarding points.
After all, these players only get 500 points for completing the BOSS kill mission, while this Skeleton Ghost gives them 200 points, so they're the ones who benefit.
I got two talent cards from the demon I killed earlier, but I didn't expect this skeleton demon, which is so hard to kill, to be so stingy. If I hadn't found a bead in that hidden spot after I knocked it unconscious...
If you face it head-on, the player who faces it will be doomed, just like Tang Zhengchu and Lian Yushan lying outside.
He casually put away the prop card, walked to the bedside, and patted Qin Jiao awake.
His movements were decisive and swift, showing no mercy whatsoever, as if the person lying on the bed was not a great beauty, but just any random person.
"Hey, wake up!!"
Qin Jiao slowly woke up and was a little stunned to see Lin Leyou in a security guard uniform, but her tense nerves relaxed.
"It's you? You... where's that thing from before?"
Lin Leyou said casually, "Killed them."
"Since you're awake, come out. Let's go find Yao Mo together."
Qin Jiao sat up blankly. It seemed that only now did she reveal a little of her true personality. Then she rubbed her chest, which felt a little painful, as if she had been hit by something. What happened?
After Lin Leyou walked out of the room, Qin Jiao finally realized what was happening. "Hey, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"
Upon entering the living room, Tang Zhengchu was taking care of Lian Yushan.
Qin Jiao, "How are you all?"
Tang Zhengchu: "It's nothing serious, I'm just temporarily out of energy. Yushan was knocked unconscious and has a headache, so he can't get up. I'll have to ask you two to look for Yao Mo. Just go upstairs to look for him."
Qin Jiao clearly remembered that Yao Mo had run upstairs earlier. "No problem."
Lin Leyou saw Lian Yushan lying on the sofa, clutching his head and muttering that it hurt a lot. He had felt something was wrong before.
The skeleton ghost didn't kill them, but only injured them on the ground. Does the skeleton ghost not kill?
As for Qin Jiao... why would the Skeleton Ghost bring Qin Jiao to a room alone and leave her on the bed?
Wait a minute, Lin Leyou suddenly thought, could it be that this skeleton ghost is also a lecherous ghost?
If that's the case, then it makes sense. As long as the others are defeated and don't bother you, it's fine. Let the one who escapes escape; it doesn't matter.
The skeleton ghost only wants to be close to beautiful women.
That's not right either. It's also possible that Lian Yushan and Tang Zhengchu had some kind of prop that could fool the skeleton ghost, making it think they were dead, which is why it ignored them.
I'm so envious! How come they have so many props? I wish he had props like those too.
Qin Jiao was still a little worried about Yao Mo. She herself was fine, so she wanted to go look for him. "Let's go, let's go look for him."
Lin Leyou did not object. He looked at the two people on the sofa and said, "Then you two rest here. Qin Jiao and I will go out to find someone."
Tang Zhengchu waved his hand, "No problem, you two go and come back quickly. If we two wounded encounter evil spirits, we'll die the moment we touch them."
Whether Lin Leyou knew or not, after the two left, they didn't take the elevator, but instead went up the stairs. They searched everywhere, from the fourth floor to the fifth floor and all the way to the rooftop, but couldn't find Yao Mo.
They even went inside and checked the empty, uninhabited apartments on these floors, but Yao Mo didn't find a single hair on his head.
Lin Leyou: "Did Yao Mo run downstairs after you ran to the third floor?"
Qin Jiao blinked. "That's possible. I was too anxious at the time and didn't look carefully. Shall we go down and take a look?"
Lin Leyou: "Okay, let's look for it."
There's no need to look on the third floor; just check the first and second floors now.
Qin Jiao offered, "I'll go to the first floor, Brother Lin, you can go to the second floor."
Lin Leyou didn't object, but he was somewhat surprised that Qin Jiao had adapted so quickly after encountering a monstrous ghost like the Skeleton Ghost and wanted to go to the first floor alone.
Without thinking much of it, he went up to the second floor alone. As soon as he opened the door, he saw several bloody footprints on the floor tiles of the second-floor corridor, which led all the way to the door of room 202.
There was also a very obvious bloody handprint on the door, as if it was afraid that others would not see it. The bloody handprint was very bloody, and a lot of blood flowed down and even onto the ground.
Lin Leyou carefully avoided the bloody footprints on the ground and slowly walked to the door. Looking at the bloody handprints on the door, he suddenly noticed that the position of the bloody handprints was a bit strange.
From a distance, it looked like a bloody handprint on the right hand, but upon closer inspection, it appeared to be on the left hand... no, it was a mixture of bloody handprints from both hands.
It's like you put your right hand on it and then your left hand on it. It's really strange. Could it be Yao Mo who did it? Why would he do it like that on purpose?
Lin Leyou wasn't quite sure. He checked and found that room 202 was unclaimed, meaning he could go in and check, but...
The question is, if Yao Mo really did get into the house, how did he manage to get in without damaging the door?
Were they using props?
Lin Leyou felt that if he continued to think like this, his mind would become increasingly dark. Could he steal items from the other player's backpack when killing them?
Lin Leyou took a deep breath and decided to find Yao Mo first, just in case. He knocked on the door first. If the other party was inside, they would definitely answer. Or rather, as a player, it was impossible to stay inside forever.
Unless he is already dead inside, or not inside at all.
These footprints and handprints...
After knocking on the door and receiving no response, Lin Leyou began to examine the marks again, hoping to find some clues.
When he looked at the door again, he suddenly realized that a lot of time had actually passed. Only then did he realize that Qin Jiao might have encountered some problem on the first floor.
Otherwise, how could so much time have passed and they still not come up to meet me?
After thinking it over, Lin Leyou decided to go downstairs first to see what Qin Jiao was doing. As for Yao Mo, if she was really inside, she might die because he didn't go in to rescue her in time...
So what if he dies? What does it have to do with me? Although he plays the role of a player, he is not a real player. One of his tasks is to kill players.
The current cooperation is, in a sense, just exploitation; he and the players are more often on opposing sides than on the partnership side.
He went down the stairs to the first floor, which was suspicious. He didn't see Qin Jiao on the first floor. If that's the case...
Lin Leyou suddenly remembered something and went back to the third floor to check the situation. He found Qin Jiao on the third floor, talking with Tang Zhengchu and Lian Yushan, whose complexion had improved slightly.
After seeing Lin Leyou, Qin Jiao subconsciously looked behind him. "Didn't you find Yao Mo on the second floor, Brother Lin?"
