Chapter 153 The Infinite Player's Ghost Wife
At the East Suburbs Cemetery, Xiaojiu and the others couldn't help but gasp when they saw the number of coffins, which was almost twice that of the charity cemetery.
It is noon now, when the Yang energy is at its strongest. The coffins that were open last night have now been covered tightly to block out the sunlight.
The lid of the coffin was closed very tightly. Xie Qing and his team took some effort to open the coffin. The zombie inside was exposed to the sun and emitted a burning smell. It was about to go crazy and roar. Lin Zhi pasted a yellow talisman on the zombie's head, and the zombie stopped struggling. Soon it completely turned into a mummy, its fangs and blue-black nails faded, and it turned into a weird corpse.
Although this method is effective, it is too inefficient. I'm afraid that I won't be able to open many coffins before it gets dark and I'll have to face these zombies face to face.
At this time, Tao Chuan, who had gone to see the corpse king's coffin earlier, came back.
"The smell of corpses is too strong, just like last night. He should be inside."
Everyone was happy about the conclusion given by Tao Chuan. As long as they found the right place, at least they had taken the first step. However, what Tao Chuan said next made them feel that the situation was not optimistic.
"I can't open the coffins. I'm afraid we can only wait until he comes out at night. With so many coffins, my Requiem Charm may not be effective on all of them. I'll take as many as I can. You can pry open as many as you can. Stop at dusk and conserve your energy so that you can fight at night."
Everyone nodded, and the six people were divided into three groups, Tao Chuan, Xie Lin and Jiu Hongshi.
After opening five coffins, strange changes occurred.
The blue-black corpse poison spread out from the direction of the Corpse King at an extremely fast speed, like a thick fog, even the sunlight became weaker.
Tao Chuan said hurriedly, "Hide in the coffin quickly. Don't let anyone touch you."
Once inhaled, you will be poisoned and turn into a zombie in a very short time. Even if you hold your breath, the parts of your skin that come into contact with it will easily fester.
As soon as Tao Chuan opened his mouth, the experienced players rolled into the coffins next to them.
Without thinking, Xie Qing pulled Lin Zhi into one of them. There was a dried corpse under him and Lin Zhi was on his body. After lying there for a few seconds, Xie Qing realized that he was too aggressive, because as long as Lin Zhi turned into a ghost, he would not be affected by the corpse poison at all.
After they lay down in the coffin, the lid closed automatically. The space was so small and cramped that only the sound of people breathing could be heard.
Shi Yimeng uttered a cry of surprise when the lid closed and pushed the coffin lid hard, but unexpectedly it opened with just a slight push.
He sat up, saw the corpse poison was still spreading, quickly lay down again, calmly closed the lid, and loudly informed his teammates of the news.
Xie Qing tried pushing it and found that it was true.
Xie Qing was just about to chat with Lin Zhi to ease the atmosphere, but he noticed that there was a slight red glow in Lin Zhi's dark eyes.
The ordinary black coffin that exuded the smell of rotten wood and corpses became wide and heavy, with a faint fragrance of high-quality wood. The dried corpse that had been lying in the coffin and was pressing against him disappeared without a trace, and turned into soft silk. Xie Qing knew without even looking that the quilt must be embroidered with red mandarin ducks.
This is Lin Zhi’s coffin, which appeared on the day of their wedding and also in his dream.
Xie Qing remembered it very clearly. The red coffin was covered with mandarin duck brocade, and his bride was lying inside.
The situation now was different. He was lying in the middle, with Lin Zhi lying on top of him. Her soft golden hair was full of health and vitality, and there was a sense of error as if time and space had overlapped and reversed.
The feeling a coffin should give people is heavy, solemn, even a little eerie and depressing, representing the withering death and cold sleep. However, lying in this slightly cramped square space and smelling the sweet fragrance of Lin Zhi, Xie Qing felt at ease in the enclosed space.
The redness in Lin Zhi's eyes faded away, and she saw the dazed look on Xie Qing's face.
He was a little surprised. He never thought that Xie Qing would feel uncomfortable. He was about to explain, but he saw Xie Qing's eyes move and heard Xie Qing's sincere praise in his ears.
"I can't believe how there is someone as perfect as you in the world. Even your coffin is so beautiful and makes people lie so comfortably."
Xie Qing's praise was genuine. In any case, Lin Zhi's coffin was the most beautiful coffin. It was not comparable to those ordinary ones out there. Even the Corpse King's coffin was far inferior to it. If the Corpse King saw it, he would have to go to Bing Xixi overnight and chop it eighteen times to get the same model.
Lin Zhi looked at Xie Qing, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself, and in the end he said nothing, remaining speechless.
When Xie Qing began to ask if he could change the coffin into a two-person mode, Lin Zhi finally couldn't stand it anymore and said something nonsense: "Aren't you afraid?"
"Of course I'm not afraid, honey. Didn't I tell you that I was born in a coffin? So I was quite curious about this when I was a child. Others were afraid of the dead, but I wasn't. When those people were buried, I would sneak out to watch, and I would often go to the cemetery to play, wondering what it would feel like to lie in a coffin. But I'm not so wicked as to lie in someone else's home, so when I grew up, I became an NPC in a secret room, lying in a prop. It was quite boring. Honey, this is the most comfortable, and I like it the most."
Xie Qing talked about his past in a relaxed tone and enthusiastically shared with Lin Zhi the things he found interesting.
As he told the story, he fell into memories. He seemed to see that small gray village, his adoptive mother who always wore a blue floral apron around her waist, and the cemetery on the back hill with tombstones and wild flowers and weeds growing beside the graves of his biological mother and father.
He would pull them out whenever he had nothing to do, but he was small and always had a hard time pulling them out. Other children didn't want to play with him, and he didn't play with them either. He would lie on his mother's grave and tell her what he had seen today.
Sometimes he wanted to dig up his mother's grave, pry open the coffin that was so big to him, take a look at his mother inside, and take a look at the place where he was born. He lay on the grave and often felt that he had floated underground, curled up next to his mother.
His mother told him that he was not an ominous child, but a miracle of life. His mother died but he was still able to survive, which meant that he was destined to come into this world.
At the last moment of her life, her grandmother was still holding his hand, letting him live happily. Later, his adoptive parents celebrated his birthday every year, hoping that he would grow up healthy and happy. The relatives he loved and who loved him hoped that he could live like this.
Sometimes Xie Qing felt that this kind of expectation was also cruel. He was unwilling to go against their words and tried hard to grow in the direction they hoped for, but sometimes he wondered, was it really meaningful? Should a life that should have died with its mother really come into this world?
Xie Qing felt somewhat happy that what his parents said was indeed correct and meaningful. If he had not grown up like this for twenty years, how could he have met Lin Zhi when he came down and would not even have been qualified to enter the infinite game.
Xie Qing spoke quickly and excitedly. Lin Zhi looked at him silently, feeling a little sad.
Xie Qing continued, "But is it okay for us to do this? Won't they notice that the coffin we are lying in has changed?"
“They won’t find out.”
Lin Zhi used a sleight of hand, so even Tao Chuan couldn't notice the changes in the coffin.
Xie Qing suddenly thought of the funny things that happened when he was working as a secret room staff. When he was about to tell Lin Zhi about it, his lips were suddenly covered by softness.
Lin Zhi lowered her eyes and kissed Xie Qing's lips, her fingers sinking into Xie Qing's soft hair.
Xie Qing opened his eyes slightly, hooked Lin Zhi's tongue tip and took the initiative.
He didn't show anything at all, but why did Lin Zhi always know? He really couldn't stand the way Lin Zhi was being intimate with him in such a loving manner, which made him really want to mess up Lin Zhi.
The young man's warm palm reached into the edge of the skirt. The already dried fabric had long been like a decoration, with traces of his touch remaining.
In the East Suburb Cemetery, Tao Chuan first stood up and took a look at the situation outside.
The corpse poison had stopped spreading. Tao Chuan left the coffin and was about to call other teammates when he found another wave of corpse poison spraying from the direction of the Corpse King.
It seems that he really has discovered that someone has broken in, but he cannot get up during the day, so he can only drive them away in this way.
Tao Chuan used his points to exchange for things, drew talismans with his mind, and put them into several coffins that his teammates had opened, and announced the next plan.
"This corpse poison comes in waves, which is a bit troublesome. I can deal with it, so you don't have to spend points to buy things to deal with it. I have already drawn a hidden charm on the coffin you are in. Don't come out yet. Wait until dark and we will kill the corpse king by surprise."
The other teammates responded with emotion, and Xie Qing also responded in a low voice.
Several players and even Tao Chuan had no idea what kind of beauty was hidden in the sealed coffin beside them.
Lao Shu looked at the screen full of mouths and fell into deep thought.
