The Death of Yuhuan (XII)
Du Xingye fired a shot at the wall.
The bullet ricocheted, brushed past the table and nearly hit Lu Fanye.
Li Shaodong's hand holding the cup shook and he almost dropped it.
The whole room was silent.
If Xu Wei was sober, she might be able to analyze the meaning of Du Xingye's series of actions at this time. For example, the reason why he was angry must not be as simple as urging him to drink, or maybe his shooting at the wall was not just a demonstration, but also meant to "further" the discussion in a sense.
But she was confused at the moment, and the gunshot was so loud that she screamed, covered her ears, and frowned.
Fortunately, he was a good drinker and didn't mutter anything that would only add fuel to the fire.
But the situation remained deadlocked.
The attempts of Lu Fanye, Zhang Yuan and Li Shaodong failed to shake Du Xingye in the slightest.
The hot muzzle of the gun was pressed against Xu Wei's forehead again. She twisted her head irritably, but Lihua behind her held her down tightly, making her unable to move.
It looked like an execution scene.
"Sister, I'm scared."
Qi Xiaopei spoke timidly and leaned towards Zhang Yuan.
When Du Xingye turned his gaze to her, she blinked her innocent big eyes and said in a coquettish voice: "Mr. Du, is Sister Xu Wei too nosy?"
"She always likes to gossip about other people's affairs. In fact, she doesn't have any bad intentions, she's just too curious. I'll talk to her more when she wakes up. She's not obedient at all. She's causing trouble for other people's families when she leaves!"
She even looked at Du Xingye shyly: "Mr. Du is magnanimous and will definitely not argue with my sister!"
Qi Xiaopei looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with the same delicate skin as the Fourteenth Lady. His pair of round lychee eyes looked at her moistly like a deer in the woods, and his shy and timid tone made her look like a young bud with dew on it, tempting to be picked.
Especially seducing Du Xingye, this lustful devil.
His favorite is the delicate and soft dodder flower.
"Can you please not argue with your sister?" Seeing Du Xingye silent, Qi Xiaopei was so anxious that she was about to cry. Her eyes were already wet, as if tears would fall at the next moment.
Du Xingye just glanced at her and then looked away.
If Qi Xiaopei hadn't said anything, he would have put down his gun using the step Zhang Yuan handed over to him, and he would have pretended to be very convincing.
Like a gentleman.
"Mr. Du, I'm really sorry. I apologize to you." Li Shaodong quickly stood up and toasted.
The clinking of glasses signaled that the atmosphere was relaxing.
Lu Fanye also stood up and not only toasted but also shook hands with Du Xingye.
"Excuse me for disturbing you. When I return, I will tell my father about the intention of establishing friendly relations with Xidi. I hope that the two places can establish friendly relations as soon as possible and build a better future together."
Du Xingye shook his hand back and said with a smile: "Young people have lofty ambitions. I, Du, admire them!"
At the table, people were toasting each other, drinking and chatting happily in a peaceful atmosphere.
If there wasn't a gun with its barrel still warm on the table, no one would be able to tell what had just happened.
The bullet shell had already been taken away by Lihua.
After eating and drinking, the players drank a lot. Although they were not as confused as Xu Wei, they were also staggering and about to fall.
He declined Lihua's help and supported each other to the west wing.
Taoist Jiang was still sleeping in bed when he was awakened by the sound of the door opening. He looked at the drunken group of people in front of him and asked in surprise: "What happened? Did you fall into the wine pool? Don't you want to finish the investigation and go home early?"
Li Shaodong glared at him unhappily: "It's our business if we're in a hurry to go home. You're not in a hurry, so why are you in such a hurry?"
Taoist Jiang argued with him: "I am in a hurry! I am also in a hurry to finish this matter and go back immediately!"
"Go back to your vegetable garden where you raise chickens? You won't get skinny from starvation, will you?"
"Just go back! What do you care about me?"
Taoist Jiang had no point in arguing with a drunk man, so he gave up his bed in a huff and let the burping Xu Wei lie down.
"I want to, I want to vomit, ugh--" Before he could walk away, Xu Wei reached out from the bed, grabbed his robe and vomited all over the place.
"My clothes!!"
The west wing, which had just been quiet, became noisy again.
After all the trouble, not only did they find a new room, but Taoist Jiang had no choice but to put on Xu Wei's "mom" pajamas.
This was a pink plush pajamas from the Cozy Sleep brand printed with flowers and a moon bear. It was put on Taoist Jiang's belly, which was two sizes larger. A layer of fat was squeezed out in the middle, and the bear was stretched into a strong bear. The trouser legs were also buttoned tightly to the surface, making the loose style look tight.
Originally they wanted to ask the servant to send them a set of clothes to wear first, but Taoist Jiang said he was unwilling to do so and kept talking for a long time, saying that he would rather wear women's clothes.
He himself didn't mind, and he stroked his beard and said naturally: "What's there to be embarrassed about? Aren't they all the same?"
The others could only send Taoist Jiang away and try their best to coax a drunk Xu Wei to take out the pajamas he had put in his backpack.
The rest of the afternoon was completely wasted - the longer the time went on, the drunkenness got stronger. The players could still stand up and mumble a few words at the beginning, but by the end they were all so drunk they started talking nonsense.
Taoist Jiang took care of them for the whole afternoon while cursing under his breath and wearing awkward tights.
By the evening, the drunkenness gradually dissipated.
Everyone gathered together to eat, and Zhang Yuan picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks for Qi Xiaopei.
"Xiao Pei did a great job today. He was fearless in the face of danger and saved everyone. He was very smart."
Then he changed the subject and said seriously: "But don't use this method next time."
"You haven't awakened to become a power user or a prop master, you don't have anything to rely on, and you're still so young. If Du Xingye really wants to do something to you while we're away, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Qi Xiaopei put the meat into his mouth and nodded gently: "I know."
"Sister, I'm actually not as young as you think. I'm sorry I lied to you when I first entered the dungeon. I'm already in high school."
Zhang Yuan frowned: "Even high school students can't do that. They are just kids! The brothers and sisters are here. They can always come up with a solution. How can you take the risk?"
Li Shaodong played the good cop on the side: "Xiao Pei is much smarter than me. He knows how to reduce his presence. But you look too young. I would believe you if you said you were in the third grade of junior high school."
"The system is really something. Just because you are young, they won't give you a novice gift pack? I will have to complain when I get to the transfer station to see if it is a malfunction or intentional. They let you enter such a difficult dungeon without giving you anything to rely on. This is no different from premeditated murder."
"Anyway, don't do this again next time!" Zhang Yuan rubbed the child's head and said apologetically, "It's all my fault that I didn't come up with a solution and let you protect yourself like this."
Qi Xiaopei shook his head and said seriously: "My brothers and sisters are very capable and have been protecting me and not letting me do anything dangerous, but that doesn't mean I can always accept it with peace of mind."
"And this won't be good for me when I enter a dungeon in the future. What if I don't meet someone like my brother or sister in the next dungeon? Wouldn't I be doomed?"
"You think too much!" Zhang Yuan said angrily, and didn't mention it any further. "It's okay. We can team up together in the next dungeon. It's been a long time since I met such a compatible teammate."
She said to Qi Xiaopei, but her eyes looked at everyone present: "I'm so glad."
Lu Fanye nodded slightly.
Li Shaodong rubbed his hands excitedly: "Okay, we'll talk about it in detail after the book is published."
Xu Wei - Xu Wei was still drunk and half sober, nodding slowly.
I don't know if I understand what others mean.
"I asked you guys if you guys have finished chatting. I'm hungry!" Taoist Jiang knocked on the door and said depressedly, "Is there anything that this wise and powerful Taoist priest cannot listen to?"
"It's almost done. Wait a moment!" Li Shaodong shouted to the outside of the door, "Stand guard carefully, otherwise you won't be noticed until someone gets close."
"I know, I know!"
"Did you find anything else?" Zhang Yuan asked after taking a bite of green vegetables.
Lu Fanye said: "Du Xingye's hands are hot."
Although even Taoist Jiang was not sure whether the evil spirit in its final form had temperature, players still used body temperature as an auxiliary method of judgment.
"It shouldn't be him." Zhang Yuan sighed, not surprised by the result.
Previously, several people had discussed the possibility of Du Xingye becoming a fierce ghost from the perspective of a player.
Although judging from the current plot of the dungeon, he has a strong ghost aura and is a big suspect, but if it is really him, then this dungeon should not be a D-level dungeon——
Taoist Jiang once said that evil spirits also have weaknesses. Whatever they fear most when they are alive, they will also be afraid of after death. This is why many evil spirits are also afraid of vicious people.
A person who is invincible when he is a human being becomes a ghost. It would be like a beast out of the cage, fearless.
The preliminary elimination of Du Xingye's suspicion also meant that apart from being threatened by him and understanding his attitude towards the affairs of the mansion, nothing was gained today.
"There are only two days left. It seems I can only go till the end of the plot. I'm afraid that the evil spirit will be too terrifying when it takes shape. I can't stand it," Li Shaodong said bitterly. "Last time, three of my props were wasted. I don't know how many I need to survive this time."
"elder sister."
Qi Xiaopei put his chopsticks on the bowl, as if he wanted to say something.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuan asked softly.
"I'm not sure..." Qi Xiaopei bit his lip, a little confused, "I seemed to see a red spot on Du Xingye's neck, bigger than a mosquito bite."
"Is it a hickey?"
"You know this? What are high school kids watching nowadays?" Li Shaodong was shocked.
"Don't interrupt!" Zhang Yuan glared at him. "There are a lot of people who read romance novels in high school. There are a lot of things that can't be written below the neck."
"Xiao Pei, tell me in detail where on the neck you saw it and how you saw it."
Qi Xiaopei thought for a while and said with certainty: "It's on the lower left side of the neck, near the collar. He found it when he lowered his head to look at me today. The color is not light."
"I remember the night when the Second Madam was chasing me, he also looked down at me. There was no such thing."
That was in the last two days, or even last night or today.
After the Second Madam's death, Du Xingye only went to the Fourteenth Madam's room on the second day, which was the night of the ritual. Later, he was called by Lihua to deal with the matter of the ghost fetus.
After that, he never slept with other ladies, and even today he came directly from the office to the table.
If there really was a new kiss mark, he must have secretly met someone.
"This house is full of his women, so he doesn't have to go secretly to find anyone, right? He can't be looking for excitement - I'm really convinced!" Li Shaodong sat back down, feeling annoyed.
"That's not right..." Zhang Yuan frowned, as if thinking about something.
After a while, he patted his head and said in surprise, "You are such a smart guy!"
"It seems like we have been overlooking someone."
