"Who exactly are you?"
"I'm just an ordinary guest invited by the castle owner."
A ghost bride… utterly unremarkable. But she finally realized she'd bitten off more than she could chew.
A wise man knows when to yield, and the old ghost bride is a master of disguise. How could she not know why the other party was so fearless? Just from that one punch, she knew that she was no match for the other party at all.
"Consider yourself lucky." The ghost bride said harshly to Ren Yuxi before turning into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing.
Looking at the now peaceful room, Ren Yuxi was still in a daze.
"This, this is all done?" She had thought there would definitely be a fierce battle and was prepared to die.
An Ge took a sip of tea; she was quite thirsty after chatting with the ghost bride for so long.
"What else can we do? It's getting late, let's go to sleep. We still need to find clues for the mission tomorrow."
Ren Yuxi's gaze towards An Ge had turned into one of reverence. She was certain that even those so-called big shots couldn't compare to Cuihua.
With An Ge by her side that night, Ren Yuxi was able to get a good night's sleep, something she rarely did.
However, for others, it was not a peaceful night.
Before An Ge's biological clock had even reached its usual wake-up time, a scream rang out from outside. The two exchanged a glance and quickly got up.
Even before getting close, An Ge could smell the stench of blood. As expected, the ghosts and monsters had made their move.
Wang Jun said to An Ge with a solemn expression, "Liu Er died in the room yesterday. The scene was too bloody, you..." He originally didn't want the girls to see it, but when he thought of An Ge's strength, he swallowed his words.
When An Ge walked into Liu Er's room, even though she considered herself well-informed, she was still shocked by Liu Er's miserable state.
Blood was everywhere in the room, on the walls and bed. Liu Er was barely recognizable as a human, as if he had been gnawed away by something.
Seeing such a visual shock first thing in the morning almost made An Ge throw up her dinner from the night before.
She remembered Liu Er; he always looked at her with ill intent, and An Ge didn't like him much. But seeing how gruesome his death was, she felt a pang of pity.
"What happened? Doesn't he have a roommate? Such a serious incident happened at night, and his roommate didn't notice?"
Liu Er's roommate was a slightly overweight middle-aged man who had the shrewdness of a businessman and seemed to look down on women.
Just then, a fat man named Jiang Wei came out, trembling with fear. "I... I shared a room with him, but I didn't hear anything last night. I really don't know what happened?"
The moment An Ge saw Jiang Wei, she noticed something was off. This man's aura was strange.
However, now is not the time to discuss this, so An Ge will swallow her doubts for the time being.
Li Heng hesitated for a moment, "I did hear some sounds, but I didn't dare to open my eyes."
The others nodded in agreement; it seemed that everyone had encountered something unusual that night.
Wang Jun, Yang San, and Ren Yuxi were puzzled. "But I didn't hear anything."
Ren Yuxi is one thing, but what about the other two?
An Ge had guessed a bit of what was going on; it seemed Martin was still giving her face.
The death of the first player instantly shattered everyone's tense nerves, and Wu Ya was practically driven mad. The moment she saw An Ge, her eyes were filled with hatred.
"It's all your fault! You clearly had the ability to help us but you ignored it. How cruel of you!"
An Ge raised an eyebrow and looked at everyone. "Is that what you all think?"
Most people shook their heads, but a few hesitated, clearly sharing the same thoughts as Wu Ya.
An Ge almost laughed out of anger. "Think what you want, but I'm sure I'm safe. I'm not going to help, so what can you do about it?"
Didn't you think she was a villain? Well then, she'll play the villain to the very end. I have to say, it feels pretty good to be a villain.
Just as Ren Yuxi was about to speak up for An Ge, she was pulled back by her. "I don't have much of an appetite this morning. Let's go eat something light."
An Ge felt that she was actually acting like a villain now. In the past, even if she hated someone, she would feel sad for a long time after that person died. Unlike now, she felt neither sad nor happy.
She couldn't say whether she would become a god in the future, but if she practiced Buddhism, she would probably achieve something.
Because of what happened that morning, Ren Yuxi and Yang San both lost their appetites, and were speechless as they watched An Ge eating heartily. But it didn't seem like she had no appetite at all.
"They think so much about you, aren't you angry?" Ren Yuxi was still somewhat indignant.
"What's there to be angry about? What do their thoughts have to do with me? I'd rather use that time to find some clues for the mission."
She wasn't really angry, but then she remembered Jiang Wei's strange behavior and reminded everyone, "Stay away from Jiang Wei from now on."
Yang San's spirits lifted. "Could it be that he killed Liu Er?" After saying that, he immediately realized that his guess was unreasonable. "No, no, Liu Er's death was clearly not the work of a human."
Nobody knows what's wrong with Jiang Wei, but they'll just have to listen to the big boss.
Just after we finished eating, Wang Jun came over with someone. "Boss Cuihua, this is Mo Pengfei. He heard that you can help with the mission, so he came along."
"Oh? Aren't you afraid I'll get you into trouble?"
Mo Pengfei was somewhat embarrassed. "Boss Cuihua, I was wrong before. I hope you won't hold a grudge." He had finally realized that he could easily lose his life here, and following the boss was the right thing to do.
"Tell me about your mission. Let me make it clear beforehand, I'll only help with the mission." An Ge wasn't a particularly enthusiastic person, but when there was something to gain, she was willing to compromise herself a little.
Mo Pengfei was somewhat disappointed, but he also knew that he had indeed let the big boss down in the past, and the fact that the other party was willing to help was already a pleasant surprise.
"My task is to cut the most beautiful dress and give it to the person he loves most."
It's related to the Earl's favorite person again. It seems that in order to complete the mission, we still need to find that person.
"I understand. You guys find clues and complete the prerequisite tasks. I know who the target is. But let me make this clear: if you find clues that allow you to complete the prerequisite tasks, be sure to tell me immediately."
Wang Jun hesitated for a moment, "I found a book in the lobby with a lot of praise in it. I don't know if I can use these words?"
An Ge took the book and was immediately stunned by the barrage of compliments.
The God of Darkness really loves being flattered. Why would he say something so absurd as "You are the greatest god, your grace shines upon the earth, bringing light to mortals"?
The other party is the God of Darkness. Are you sure you won't get killed by the god for saying these things?
"I suggest you stop using those phrases and look for something else."
Wang Junwei obeyed An Ge's words and immediately threw the book aside.
