The paper figures appear to be a man and a woman. The paper figure of the girl looks exactly like Yang Si, even the mole on the bridge of Yang Si's nose is there.
The paper figure had no eyes and looked a little lacking, but the three people did not pay attention to that. They were just wondering why there was a paper figure of Yang Si here.
Ruan Ji Yan was lost in thought as she stared at the paper figure of the man. The paper figure looked exactly like the man in her dream, and he was also the man in the photo of the groom that she had casually flipped through on the first day they came here.
Ruan Jiyan walked up without saying a word, picked up the two paper figures, walked out the door, threw the paper figure of the man on the ground, and then wanted to find a fire to burn the paper figure of Yang Si in his hand.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute!" Bai An stopped her hand that was about to tear the paper man into pieces and raised his concern.
"Although this is Yang Si's paper figurine, we still don't know what it's used for. Moreover, Yang Si hasn't been found yet. If we destroy this paper figurine, what if something happens to her?"
Unexpectedly, Ruan Jiyan's hand stopped again. Seeing her stop, the two boys breathed a sigh of relief.
But within two seconds, Ruan Jiyan picked up the paper man that she had thrown on the ground, stomped on it twice, and picked it up again, wanting to burn it.
Bai An stopped her again: "Don't! If you burn it, what if something bad happens?"
Ruan Jiyan glared at him and ignored him.
It would be great if they really got into trouble. Now the three of them were like grasshoppers trapped in a bamboo basket, running around in circles anxiously.
If one has no choice but to throw a stone to test the waters in a foggy predicament, then she would be that stone.
She searched around and found two matches. She managed to light one and threw it directly at the paper man. In an instant, the paper man began to burn and finally turned into ashes.
Ruan Jiyan's eyes were full of indifference, while the two boys behind him had worried looks on their faces.
When the paper figurine completely turned into a pile of ashes, Ruan Jiyan turned around and looked at the two people and said, "Since these two paper figurines are placed together, Yang Si must also be related to this thing. As long as we find his coffin, we may be able to find Yang Si."
She enlightened the two confused people with one sentence, "We have already looked in all the places we should look for Yang Si, where else can we go?"
Ruan Jiyan did not answer him, her eyes sparkling with brilliance. Just as she had guessed, if they were really struggling in a bamboo basket, then there must be spectators outside the bamboo basket, and she wanted to let those spectators act out this drama with them.
Ruan Jiyan and two others walked into the hostess's house and went straight to the mourning hall.
After walking in and taking a look, he started smashing the offerings and incense on the table without saying a word.
Ruan Jiyan looked at the tablet of the hostess and her husband placed in the middle, and asked Zhu Wen to look in the corner to see if there was a tablet for Huang Kangwu or Yang Si...
"Found it!" Zhu Wen searched left and right, and finally found Huang Kangwu's dusty tablet in the right corner. He shouted happily.
But then there was no movement.
Bai An was very happy. He walked forward faster than Ruan Jiyan to take a look, but found that there was another tablet next to Huang Kangwu's.
The two boys, Zhu Wen and Bai An, stood there in a daze, with stiff expressions, not knowing what to say.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Jiyan asked with concern when he saw the two men looked pale.
Next to the table where Huang Kangwu's tablet was placed was another very new tablet, and the name on it was a name that Ruan Jiyan had randomly chosen in the copy - Lin Hong.
Zhu Wen picked up the tablet, turned around and looked at Ruan Jiyan in shock.
"Mine?" She almost lost her voice.
[What’s going on? Is it a coincidence or is it true…]
[Isn’t the anchor standing here? How could it be her?]
[This reminds me of the horrible werewolf killing instance I saw last time, where the player would turn into a werewolf NPC after being killed by a werewolf…]
[So what is this situation?]
Players in the cloud broadcast room who have played this dungeon discovered that the plots these players had previously played were all the original dungeon plots, but the game seemed to have buried a different hidden thread.
It starts with the disappearance of another short-haired girl. Although the plot is the same, the way of advancement is different.
[So the bug in this instance is actually here! I have to say it’s really hard to detect.]
[But I think that this bug makes it even harder for players to clear the dungeon. No one knows the details of this dungeon bug, which is like the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so how can we win?]
[That’s right, now the other teammates are missing, and there’s a teammate whose identity is questionable among the three of them. It’s going to be hard to avoid being wiped out!]
"Lin Hong..."
There were only two words on the tablet, but there was a photo attached to the bottom. It seemed that the photo was taken when Ruan Jiyan and his friends arrived at the hostess's house on the first night.
In the photo, Ruan Jiyan was not looking at the camera, but was talking to someone. It was obvious at a glance that this photo was taken secretly.
Now, even if they want to say that it is just someone with the same name, no one will believe them.
Zhu Wen took two steps back holding the tablet, with an imperceptible fear on his face. He was afraid of Ruan Ji Yan.
Although Bai An was not like him, he also had doubts in his eyes. After all, the facts were right in front of him.
However, in addition to Ruan Jiyan’s tablet, there is another tablet without a name, and that tablet is smaller.
The atmosphere between the three people was a bit awkward. Ruan Jiyan did not explain much, but just walked around them and took the nameless tablet.
Then, she raised her hand and smashed the tablets to the ground, one by one.
With such force, she knocked all the tablets on the table to the ground.
The two boys didn't understand her behavior, and neither did the players in the cloud broadcast room.
[Is this person smashing so hard just to distance himself from the matter?]
[What is she doing? Is she crazy? These are all tablets of the dead. She doesn’t even spare the dead!]
[Tsk tsk tsk, what a fierce aura.]
[Is this woman really a newbie? She scared the two veteran players next to her. I was afraid she would pounce on them the next second. She is so scary.]
The next second, Ruan Jiyan turned around abruptly and looked at Zhu Wen with eyes as cold as a knife. She slowly stretched out her hand to ask Zhu Wen for the tablet.
Zhu Wen's heart jumped out of his chest. With shaking arms, he handed the tablet to Ruan Jiyan with both hands.
Bang—the sound of the tablet hitting the ground hard.
Ruan Jiyan then said calmly: "It's just a tablet. I'm living well now. Even if there is bad luck, it only befell me."
After saying that, she overturned the table along with it. Bai An looked at her slightly struggling expression and went forward to help her overturn the table without knowing what was going on.
The table and the tablecloth were all overturned, and the funeral hall was in a mess.
After overturning all the desks on the ground, Ruan Jiyan walked over and wanted to step on them a few times to increase her hatred to the highest level. However, when her thick-soled sneakers stepped on the original position of the desks, she found that the sound of her feet stepping on the wooden floor was a little strange.
She stepped back two steps and stepped on it, then stepped on it again, and found that the wooden board under the desk was hollow, and the sound when she stepped on it was very hollow and muffled.
Bai An and Zhu Wen also heard the sound, and came over to take a look, but didn't see anything unusual. Bai An simply knelt on the ground and knocked, looking for the boundary between the hollow and solid.
After a while, he stood up and pointed to the place where his feet were, and said, "There is a space below, roughly from here under my feet to there under Lin Hong's feet." He pointed to Ruan Jiyan, who was about two meters away from him.
"Try to break it open!" Ruan Jiyan looked around to see if there were any suitable tools.
Finally, she took out the shovel that she had used to shovel the soil last time from the system. She supported the shovel, then took two steps back, turned the shovel over, and chopped straight down on the sharper side of the shovel.
There was a crackling sound, and before Bai An could exchange the axe at the game store, Ruan Ji Yan had already dug a hole in the floor.
Bai An was stunned and Zhu Wen shook his head unconsciously.
This woman is so scary!
Ruan Jiyan reached her hand directly into the fist-sized hole that had been chiseled. Not feeling anything, she stood up and continued chiseling.
After all, a shovel is not an axe, and its power is not as strong as an axe. It took her a long time to make a hole the size of a fist. Bai An took the axe and made a lot of holes in one go.
After breaking it open, the contents inside were completely exposed.
It was a coffin, a very new one that smelled of paint.
This family has been dead for a long time. Even if the coffin was new at the time, it would not have such a strong smell after so long, so the person in this coffin must not be from this family.
"Move it." Ruan Jiyan moved the coffin lid with some difficulty and said with gritted teeth.
After the two of them helped to remove the coffin lid, they discovered that the person lying inside was Yang Si.
Her face was pale, and she had on some exaggerated makeup; the red blush on her cheekbones couldn't cover up her pale complexion.
There was also a paper figure next to her, and that paper figure was the groom.
Bai An bent down and picked up Yang Si from the coffin and put her on the ground. He felt her nose and found that she still seemed to be breathing faintly.
He yelled, "Give her some treatment!"
Ruan Jiyan knelt down in front of her and began to treat her with his healing abilities.
The system reminded her in her ear: [Host, please be careful with your behavior and do not reveal your true identity. ]
Ruan Jiyan directly blocked its words. She had not revealed her position and occupation here. No one knew that she was a full-time water-type person. If anyone was suspicious, she could just admit that she was a healer.
[If you don’t tell me, no one will know.] Ruan Jiyan replied coldly.
【……】
After the treatment and giving Yang Si medicine, she slowly began to breathe normally.
Zhu Wen carried Yang Si to rest. Ruan Jiyan carefully examined the coffin and confirmed that it did not have any special exhaust holes.
The tightly sealed coffin was also sealed with a layer of wooden boards. Yang Si, who had been in there for such a long time, was still breathing when they rescued her, which showed that she had taken measures to protect herself when she was hurt.
And now, they just have to wait for Yang Si to wake up and tell them what happened to her.
After crawling in the darkness for so long, Ruan Jiyan seemed to finally see a little faint light.
