Chapter 414 The Death of Qin Keqing 4
Dusk falls, the hour of twilight.
The first to discover the problem was Yinqi, who was responsible for keeping vigil at the coffin.
Hearing the faint yet piercing hissing sound from the coffin, Yinqi's hair stood on end.
Looking at the oblivious others around him, he subconsciously swallowed and then quietly took a step back.
"where did you go?"
At this moment, the person next to him became more alert. Without moving, they tilted their head slightly, looking at him with a forced smile, their pupils pitch black, swallowing the candlelight.
“…” Yinqi froze, trying to appear calm. “Good brother, please watch over for me for a while. I’ll be right back.”
Yinqi even clutched his stomach in a convincing manner, pretending that he needed to go to the toilet.
The servant stared at him quietly for a while before finally relenting, "Go, but come back quickly. Otherwise... I'll come looking for you."
"Yes, yes, definitely."
Yinqi nodded quickly and turned to walk out of the mourning hall.
There's no way he'll come back. His fifth brother isn't easily scared. He's still looking for him. Once the one in the coffin gets up, even if it's a monster, it'll die.
Thinking this, Yinqi quickened his pace and couldn't help but look back at the servant as he stepped out of the mourning hall.
The servant never turned his head back; his smile seemed to be fixed on his face as he stared straight at Yinqi.
As a result, Yinqi was not frightened at all, but instead gave him a smile that seemed to be filled with pity.
mercy?
Before the servant could react, Yinqi's figure disappeared into the night. When he turned around, the coffin lid on the front of the mourning hall suddenly flew off, and countless resentful energies surged out.
Oops...
The moment Qin Keqing tore him to shreds, the servant finally understood what Yinqi meant, but it was too late. He hadn't even gotten to eat his "snack" before becoming someone else's.
Not long after they ran, they heard a commotion coming from the mourning hall behind them. Yinqi's expression changed, and he quickened his pace, searching for Yinsi's figure.
"not good!"
In the backyard, upon receiving Yinqi's message, Yinzhen's expression changed drastically. Qin Keqing had indeed "risen from the dead," so the first target would most likely be Jia Zhen.
At that moment, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, and others were in the front courtyard, and the banquet had not yet ended. Yinzhi, Jia Rong's servant, was also there.
Worried about Yinzhi's condition, Yinzhen and Yinyou, who had met up with him halfway, hurried to the front courtyard.
...
The bodies of Qin Keqing and Ruizhu were placed together in Huifang Garden. However, Qin Keqing's body was placed in the main hall, while Ruizhu's was placed in a side hall.
Most people stayed at Qin Keqing's coffin, such as Yinzhi who came with Qin Zhong.
According to the plan, it would be safer for Yinzhuo to stay in the backyard. However, in order to look after his elder brother, Yinzhuo voluntarily chose to stay at the mourning hall to keep vigil.
Of course, this also stemmed from his pity for Ruizhu, whom he had met as soon as he entered.
Even if Yinzhuo was reborn, he only got one chance to live. In essence, he was still a well-protected child.
Even though he lived in the palace, Yinzhuo was intelligent but still had a soft heart.
So, he secretly brought a piece of white jade cake that Ruizhu had mentioned liking and placed it before her spirit tablet.
"Sister Ruizhu, you didn't die in vain..."
In order to win the game, they would also find out the truth, so Yinzhu boldly said this.
Then, a chilling aura appeared behind his ear, and the faint words "thank you" rang in his ears. In a flash, Yinzhuo was already standing outside the mourning hall.
[Congratulations to player "六六六" for increasing the favorability of the game character "瑞珠" and obtaining 1 clue!]
"!" Stunned, Yinzhuo looked at the extra note in his hand, turned around and ran to find Yinzhi, his hands still busy, sending the new clues he had obtained in the team group.
[666: @AiShuiShui @JieBaChiNiJiaDamiLe Second Brother, Third Brother, I've got a clue: going to Tianxiang Tower might save us from tonight's massacre.]
...
Fifth brother.
"Fourth brother, seventh brother."
When Yinqi, who was guarding the Moon Cave, met with Yinzhen and Yinyou who had rushed over, his face was extremely grim.
"The passage to the banquet is blocked, and we can't get through."
Looking at the dark doorway, the skeptical Yinzhen took two steps forward, but what he touched was not the darkness of night, but a chilling aura of resentment.
It was an invisible door that he couldn't cross even if he tried to force it.
"Isn't there any other way?"
Yinyou was also very anxious, because if this happened, they would not be able to reunite with Yinsi.
Yinqi shook his head, "I've looked all around, and this is the only door."
Yinzhen remained silent and tried several more times, but not only did he fail, he also gained a "resentment debuff" on himself, and his right hand was frozen stiff. If it weren't for the talisman he carried occasionally emitting heat, it wouldn't just be his hand that was frozen.
"Fourth Brother!"
Yinqi and Yinyou quickly pulled him over, saying, "We know you're worried about your eighth brother, but we can't risk your life like that. We can think of other ways."
Suddenly, terrified screams and piercing cries for help came from the banquet room just a wall away.
Yinzhen's face darkened further: "It's too late."
After saying that, he took the talisman out of his pocket and wrapped it around his frozen right hand. Feeling the cold energy gradually dissipate, he became more confident in his next move.
"Try again."
Seeing Yinzhen wrap his hands with talismans and continue pushing the "door," Yinqi was a little worried. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yinyou wrapping his hands with talismans as well.
"Together."
"no……"
Yinqi was anxious, but the two had already stepped forward, each using one hand to push. The part of the talisman that came into contact with the resentment made a "sizzling" sound. Judging from their expressions, it was clear that Yinzhen and Yinyou were not feeling well.
However, it is visible to the naked eye that the resentment has corroded a hole, but the hole is currently too small to pass through.
At this moment, another hand wrapped in talisman paper reached out and pressed down on the resentment.
"hiss"
Yinqi couldn't help but cry out. Sure enough, the resentment was something that ordinary people couldn't bear.
Meeting the gazes of Yinzhen and Yinyou, Yinqi endured the pain and forced himself to remain calm: "I am the fifth brother whom the eighth brother loves the most."
Silence, a deathly silence.
Yinqi was about to feel awkward when Yinzhen suddenly spoke up: "I am the Fourth Brother whom Eighth Prince likes the most."
"..."
"Xiao Ba made shoes especially for me." Yin You didn't like to argue; he was just stating the facts.
Yinqi's face twisted in pain. He kept his mouth shut and cursed inwardly, "They're so fake, and I'm in so much pain."
Finally, with the combined efforts of the three, the resentment created a hole large enough for one person to pass through. The three nimbly slipped inside and began searching for Yinzhi.
The banquet before them was like a living hell, with cups and plates scattered everywhere, tables and chairs overturned, and Qin Keqing, dressed in blood and with disheveled hair, was in mid-air, screaming and waving her hands like claws. Wherever she went, the guests screamed in agony.
The entire banquet was submerged in blood, with thick blood flowing on the ground, pooling into small pools. The three men were horrified and even more worried about Yinzhi's condition.
His gaze searched around, and soon, as a guest collapsed, the figure of Yinzhi was revealed beneath the torn tablecloth.
"Little Eight!"
Yinzhen and Yinsi looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with surprise.
Yinzhi got up and ran quickly toward them, and the other two, including Yinzhen, also rushed over.
"Run!"
Yinzhi's hand landed on Yinzhen's hand, and the four of them ran back the way they came, making them an obvious target and quickly attracting Qin Keqing's attention.
Hearing the whistling wind behind them, the four quickened their pace.
"The opening is shrinking!"
As the opening they had painstakingly created slowly closed, Yinqi couldn't help but scream.
"Faster!"
The veins on Yinzhen's forehead bulged, and he gripped Yinsi's hand even tighter, not daring to loosen his grip for the slightest.
"careful!"
Yin You's reminder came out of his mouth, and the four of them rolled on the ground in a sorry state, narrowly avoiding Qin Keqing's pursuit.
They were getting closer to the cave entrance, but they were overwhelmed and had no way to escape Qin Keqing's attacks.
Once again dodging Qin Keqing's attack, Yinqi caught a glimpse of a man sneaking away from the banquet, and a thought struck him. He shouted, "Jia Zhen is trying to escape!"
Qin Keqing paused, her finger hovering in front of Yinqi's eyes. She turned her head, glanced at him, and then whistled off towards Jia Zhen.
"call……"
Yinqi was panting heavily when Yinyou pulled him up, saying, "Rest after you escape."
The four of them finally managed to crawl out before the cave entrance closed in.
As the blood-red mist slowly closed in the cave, Yinqi felt a lingering fear. "What do we do now?"
Yinzhi, his face pale, said firmly, "Go to Tianxiang Tower. Tianxiang Tower is the only place that can restrain Qin Keqing..."
