Not just itself.
Xiao Jin activated his item skill, and a giant black hand emerged from the ground. Many NPCs were unable to dodge in time and were directly crushed by the 'hand of death'.
"Something's not right!" Shao Siyuan's voice suddenly rang out: "This altar seems to be absorbing the resentment of the dead!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin took a moment to look closely and realized that Shao Siyuan was indeed right.
Every time they killed a vengeful ghost, small, invisible black specks of light would float out and then fall into the grooves carved into the stone on the ground.
"No, we can't kill anymore."
Such a sight is most likely haunted.
Therefore, after a moment's thought, the group decided to stop. Killing NPCs was not their main task; their most important task was to find the remains of the 'god'.
"Does anyone have any defensive items that resemble barriers?" Xiao Jin suddenly asked.
The others quickly came to their senses, but then looked troubled.
They do have defensive items, but they are clearly not suitable for this situation.
Sui Ying's eyes darted around, and then, as if she remembered something, she shouted, "I have it, I have it! It looks a bit strange, but it's enough to buy us some time."
"It's fine, as long as it works." When Feng Hao said this, he had no idea that the 'strange' Sui Ying was talking about would be this kind of 'strange'.
"Alright, if you're willing, I'll use it."
Upon hearing this, a bad feeling arose in the hearts of the others. Especially when they saw Sui Ying wave her hand, and a pink plush bear suddenly appeared on the ground.
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Sui Ying's eyes: Hehe! You guys said it!
She then activated the props in her hands.
The next second, a bright light burst forth from the surroundings, and Xiao Jin and the others instinctively closed their eyes.
When the light faded, a pink barrier rose up around them, keeping both the villagers and the vengeful ghosts outside.
only……
"Pfft~ What is this~" Sui Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, then quickly found a stone pillar and hid behind it.
The others also looked like they'd been struck by lightning.
Because what appeared before them were 'beautiful girls' dressed in pink and white lace maid outfits with large bows tied around their waists.
"Ugh~" Feng Hao immediately covered his mouth.
There was no way around it; they were all big, burly men, and their clothes were extremely tacky.
Especially Sui Feng, a dark-skinned, rough man, wearing pink and white lace, who could resist that!
Xiao Jin stared at Sui Ying, who was smirking, with a dark expression. This girl…
But then she felt several burning gazes.
Xiao Jin looked over and found that Sui Ying and Wang Zixuan were secretly watching her, oh, and Yun Ye and Shao Siyuan were also there.
However, when these two people made eye contact with Xiao Jin, they turned their faces away in a flash, with such a large movement that Xiao Jin was afraid they would hurt their necks.
It's not really their fault; it's just that Xiao Jin's current appearance is too unique compared to everyone else!
She stood inside the pink protective shield, like a cherry blossom tree in its first bloom—soft yet not fragile, delicate yet not pretentious.
A pink and white lace blouse hung loosely around her body, its neckline slightly open, revealing a glimpse of her delicate collarbone. The layers of lace trim on the cuffs swayed gently with her movements, like petals brushed by a breeze.
Xiao Jin's skin was very fair, and it looked almost transparent against the pink background, yet it did not appear sickly at all; instead, it had a kind of icy and pure quality.
Her hair was slightly curled at the ends, softly draped over her neck, creating a strange harmony against the lace collar. This made Xiao Jin not only not look feminine, but rather like a pampered cat kept by an aristocratic family.
Looking at it this way, it's no wonder the others were stunned.
There's no way around it, the gap is just too big!
"Cough cough cough~" Sui Ying coughed lightly a few times first, drawing the attention of the others back to her.
"Haha, I already said this prop is a bit strange, but you guys said it was fine."
"How dare you say that!" Feng Hao pulled out a cloak from somewhere and covered himself up completely.
The others quickly followed suit.
Sui Ying: "Just tell me if the NPCs were stopped or not, besides, isn't it pretty good-looking! Pfft~ Hahahaha~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sui Ying wanted to continue teasing the male players, but she suddenly felt a chilling murderous aura, which frightened her so much that she quickly shut her mouth.
Yunye withdrew his gaze, his face long and drawn, giving off an unapproachable look.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Sui Ying said seriously, "My item 'Little Bear Tea Party' will forcibly pull players within its range into a tea party."
During this period, anyone who is not a guest will be expelled.
Of course, since it's a tea party, fighting is not allowed.
Players cannot use any skills inside; to exit, they must wait until the item's duration expires in one hour.
"So that's how it is!" Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Looking at it this way, this prop is actually quite useful!
"And this outfit?" Sui Feng walked out from behind the pillar with a dark face.
"Ha~ cough cough~" Under her older brother's threatening gaze, Sui Ying tried her best to suppress her laughter, but in reality, she had already snapped dozens of photos.
"Things will naturally return to normal after the tea party ends."
Everyone was furious.
Forget it, lace maid it is. Let's get down to business first.
The group hadn't forgotten that they activated the protective shield to buy time and find 'His' remains as soon as possible.
So the players started searching around.
As he passed the round table in front of the giant teddy bear, Feng Hao didn't forget to grab a small cake and eat it while he looked around.
The altar wasn't very big; if eight people searched together, they could easily find it all in five minutes.
Strangely, no matter how hard Xiao Jin searched, he found nothing unusual.
She didn't even see a coffin, let alone any skeletons.
"Something's not right, where is it?!" Sui Feng couldn't help but scratch his head.
Shao Siyuan stood up and turned around: "Xiao Jin, is there any other hint in that notebook?"
Xiao Jin shook his head decisively: "No, I see it very clearly. Apart from the altar being the key to breaking the deadlock, there is nothing else."
"That's really strange."
The group remained silent.
Just then, Xiao Jin caught a glimpse of Wang Zixuan squatting beside the stone platform in the center of the altar, the flame of the soul-guiding lamp in her hand flickering.
She narrowed her eyes slightly. Could it be related to the skeleton?
