Buzz, buzz...
The vibration of the ghost-killing knife began to weaken, Bai Ye frowned, is the ghost going to disappear?!
He quickly walked up the stairs and said as he passed by Su Yi:
"I'll go up first and come back later."
Su Yi lowered his head and said nothing.
Bai Ye quickly ran to the second floor. He looked around but found nothing unusual.
Strange, the Ghost-Killing Sword did guide him up, so it should be correct.
Buzz...
The knife vibrated faintly again, this time pointing downwards.
white night:?
He turned around and ran to the stairs, and saw Su Yi still standing there, seemingly waiting for him. Bai Ye smiled back, and saw that Su Yi's face seemed to be red again, so cute.
But catching the ghost was still more important. This time he followed the guidance of the knife, passed by Su Yi and continued downstairs.
Just when he was halfway down, he felt the knife in his hand vibrate, and then it pointed upwards, telling him to go upstairs.
Bai Ye was a little angry. What's wrong with this knife? Is it the same as Baidu Maps?
The vibration of the knife gradually calmed down and soon disappeared. No ghost's breath could be detected.
Su Yi saw Bai Ye's disappointed face. It seemed that the ghost master had returned to the magician's body and should not be discovered. Su Yi felt a little relieved. He pretended to be nothing and asked Bai Ye:
"What happened?"
"nothing."
Bai Ye didn't elaborate. He didn't want Su Yi to see him failing to kill the ghost. It would be embarrassing.
He silently put the knife into his backpack. Maybe the knife hadn't been repaired for a long time and started to malfunction.
Bai Ye didn't doubt anything, he turned around and asked Su Yi:
"What are you doing here? Still searching for evidence? Do you need any help?"
Su Yi shook his head. He stood under Bai Ye's gaze and felt a slightly cool breath between his legs...
The magician didn't know what she was doing under her skirt. She moved her head back and forth, and her soft hair rubbed against his stockings.
It seemed... Su Yi felt that this guy seemed to have turned behind him, and his furry head rubbed against his legs. He wondered what he was going to look at behind him.
He unconsciously tried to put his legs together, but accidentally clamped the magician's head together, so he quickly spread them apart again.
Even someone as dull as Bai Ye could feel that Su Yi's skirt seemed... a little unnaturally undulating.
Bai Ye didn't think too much, just thought Su Yi was uncomfortable standing, and walked over to hold his hand:
"Are you tired of standing? It must be hard to walk in this skirt, how about I carry you downstairs?"
Su Yi quickly shook his head and refused firmly.
The magician under the skirt seemed to be frightened by Bai Ye's action. He came back and rubbed Su Yi's left leg with his furry head accidentally.
Su Yi couldn't stand the itch anymore, so she raised her right foot under her wide skirt and gently kicked the magician, warning him not to move!
At the same time, she spoke to cover up the noise in her skirt:
"It's okay, just let me find it by myself. Having someone following me might affect my thinking."
Bai Ye still wanted to insist, but Su Yi refused again and again, and finally coaxed him away.
When leaving, Bai Ye felt a little reluctant, like a dog that was taken to a pet shop and had to be separated from its owner. Su Yi waved at him and said goodbye to him.
When Bai Ye's figure completely disappeared at the stairs and the footsteps became farther and farther away until they could no longer be heard, Su Yi lifted up her skirt and said fiercely:
"Get out!"
He was weak and out of breath, so even if he was fierce, he still sounded gentle. The magician squatted beside his legs, reluctant to leave. Su Yi bent down and pushed him:
"Get out! Now that I've helped you escape, why don't you stop pestering me?"
The magician thanked him and said a bunch of sweet words, implying that he was really grateful to him, but he had to pester him or he would bother his sister-in-law again in the future.
Su Yi was not used to this, he said:
"If you really want to thank me, don't say these empty words. Let me ask you, how did you get the six-pointed star on your chest? Don't lie. If you lie, I won't help you if Bai Ye finds out next time."
The rules of the horror script-killing game require that ordinary players cannot lie, but there are no requirements on what the [ghost] should do. Whether to tell the truth or lie depends on the ghost's mood.
"You mean this?"
The magician tore open his shirt in front of Su Yi. His hands were a bit too strong and he tore open a few more buttons at once, revealing not only his chest with the hexagram engraved on it, but also his abdominal muscles, which were exposed to Su Yi.
"You...you did this on purpose, right? Put on your clothes!" Su Yi scolded him.
The magician wouldn't listen. He was already dead, but he still insisted on exercising every day to keep his body attractive. It was not easy to get a chance to be admired, so how could he not cherish it?
He walked up to Su Yi in disheveled clothes for him to observe.
The human eye has such a wide field of vision that Su Yi couldn't help but focus on the hexagram. The magician then moved right in front of him, and his chest and abdominal muscles, well-trained mermaid lines, and shark patterns were all in full view.
The muscular body of this masculine man reveals abundant vitality, but this vitality appears in his corpse-like pale skin. The contrast between the two creates an eerie beauty.
This six-pointed star was drawn on the chest with a knife, right above the heart. A normal person would have died from excessive blood loss if he was drawn a few times like this.
"Okay?, okay?, I'm done?" Su Yi stretched out his hand and pushed the magician. He didn't dare to touch the magician's exposed skin. He moved his hand slightly to the side and only touched his open collar:
"Please put on your clothes."
This ghost...really, even if he's dead, he still needs such a beautiful body to hold his soul. Su Yi thought of his thin body, there was no way he could train to have such a body.
His congenital heart disease does not allow him to exercise too much, and everyone he meets thinks he is easy to bully. If he could be like the magician, maybe...
"Did you see anything?"
The magician interrupted Su Yi's thoughts. He smiled and straightened his clothes. This time he listened to Su Yi and buttoned his shirt.
"Your resurrection is related to this hexagram, right?" Su Yi guessed.
"Bingo!" The disheveled magician put on his shirt, "Guess again."
Su Yi thought of the same hexagram on the back of the old pastor's Bible:
"Is this... some kind of sacrifice? Or? A religious ceremony?"
It shouldn't be some serious religion. The magician's resurrection was achieved by using his soul to occupy the body of another vegetative child patient. This kind of weird magic... is probably some kind of evil religion.
Magician: "You guessed it right again. You're so smart..."
【Beep—beep—! 】
Suddenly, Su Yi heard a shrill alarm:
[Reminder to Player-Magician, Player-Su Bride, the direction you are exploring has completely deviated from the plot. Please adjust your thinking and explore again! ]
[The purpose of the [ghost] in this dungeon is to scare the players. Magicians, please adjust your mindset and complete the NPC's work diligently and conscientiously. It is forbidden to chat with players during work hours and do things that are not related to the dungeon. If you are caught again, you will be punished! ]
Su Yi: "..."
The hexagram is obviously a key part of the plot, the system is simply lying.
Su Yi thought of the Cursed Bride dungeon being downgraded by the system due to some settings, and the hexagrams found before all had traces of being erased:
The scratches on Grace's box were very shallow, and they were invisible without reflection. The six-pointed star on the old pastor's Bible was dark, and it was invisible without touching it. The six-pointed star on the magician's chest was even more hidden, and it was impossible to find it without removing his clothes.
Who would strip a ghost of his clothes if he was not a decent player?
Now, if you talk to the magician about the hexagram, you will be warned by the light screen. Su Yi thought, it is a good thing that he installed a life-saving system.
The light screen system did not read his thoughts, nor did it say that it would punish him or anything, but the situation on the magician's side did not seem optimistic.
The magician spread his hands and shrugged, indicating that this was all he could say. If he continued, he might be punished by the light screen system. He smiled and waved goodbye to Su Yi:
"You're not allowed to talk about this or that. I won't talk about it anymore. Honey, you can search for evidence by yourself. I'll go back to sleep under the bed."
When he passed by Su Yi, he deliberately winked at her and said in a low voice:
"Sleep where you lie."
Su Yi didn't say anything. Just as he was thinking that this guy was indeed a pervert, he heard a very clear voice:
"vomit--"
Life-saving system: "So fucking greasy!"
Su Yi: "..."
"Wife, luckily you have me." The life-saving system said in a baby voice.
"? Why." Su Yi laughed in his heart, "You're not greasy?"
Life-saving system: "Of course! I'm not like him, selling my body like a stripper in disheveled clothes all day long, I don't know how to behave!"
Su Yi thought it was very funny, but he was very satisfied to get the clue of the hexagram unexpectedly from the magician. He checked the system notification and found that the hexagram still had no increase in exploration degree.
Judging from the magician's words, this [Hexagram] mark symbolizes an evil religion, and its effect is indeed very evil. It can even do such a thing as parasitizing living people, allowing the dead Second Young Master to still be alive using the magician's body.
He turned around and took a look at the magician's receding figure, and suddenly, his eyes caught something.
There were several magician's footprints on the mouse-gray stone brick floor of the corridor.
When he was hiding in the magician's bedroom just now, the light was too dim and he hadn't noticed that there was mud on the pair of black leather shoes. Now in the bright sunlight, the footprints were clearly visible.
Most people wouldn't think much when they see footprints. At most, they would just think that the magician's shoes are dirtier.
...But why is it dirty?
Su Yi observed that the footprints were reddish-brown in color and were covered in mud.
...This means that the magician's leather shoes are stained with soft mud.
In a flash, Su Yi thought of another clue about mud: the pair of red-brown boots stained with mud!
When he first hid in the cloakroom, he saw that the killed player No. 13 had yellow powder on his suit pants and was wearing red-brown boots with mud on the edges of his boots. At that moment, he collected these two pieces of truth.
When the body was examined later, the murderer found that the red-brown boots had been replaced by a pair of clean vintage leather shoes without any mud spots.
Now, the magician's shoes are also covered with mud similar to that time...
The magician had been walking in the garden before, which means...it is very likely that the place where the magician walked in the garden was also the place where player No. 13 walked at that time, so both of their shoes were covered with mud.
Where did the killed player No. 13 pass through in the garden? Did he discover something?
Was it because he discovered it? It shouldn't have been discovered, so he was the first one to be killed by the murderer?
Su Yi was thinking, when he suddenly heard:
[Ding——Congratulations on collecting a new fragment of truth: [Mud Footprints], exploration degree +1%]
[If you observe that the shoes of any player entering or leaving the garden are stained with this mud, you can determine that the player has collected the fragment]
Su Yi saw two pieces of debris floating in the air. One piece was the first piece he collected, the [red-brown boots with mud spots], and the other piece was the [mud footprints] he collected now. The two pieces of debris overlapped together, and the light screen cheered, and a string of festive words floated out:
[Soil identification: composition 100% similar]
[Congratulations to player Su Xinniang for clearing the evidence chain: [Red Soil in the Garden]! The exploration degree is increased by 2%. It is recommended that you go explore the garden!]
Su Yi walked down the stairs and headed towards the garden. He had a hunch that he might find something incredible.
The murderer wiped off the yellow powder because he was afraid of being exposed. He also changed the red-brown boots with mud spots. It should be for the same reason. He was afraid that someone would find something in the garden...
[Where are you going now, my lovely wife?]
The small TV next to Su Yi had many comments floating across it:
[Following my wife in the search for evidence! I feel like I have become smarter too]
[Damn! Have you checked the history? It's been updated again?! !]
[Shit! It just went up another 3% and now it’s 75%. That’s amazing!]
[Wait, does this mean that 75% of the god-level newlyweds are definitely not this bride? He just found nothing, right?]
[But my wife hid the exploration level, so even if we find something, we won’t know.]
[Don't try to save face? If you can't see the specific exploration level, can't you see what he is doing? He just didn't do anything, he just asked the magician what the hexagram was, and the system warned him not to deviate from the plot]
[It’s confirmed that it’s not him?, ball ball fans please stop exaggerating?, I’m embarrassed for others again?]
[Whatever you say, I think she looks like my wife anyway. We'll see when we find the murderer. The murderer in the rookie dungeon has a fixed exploration rate of 15%, right? Go ahead, smart wife!]
Su Yi went downstairs. The garden was bright and sunny. The roses and peonies were in full bloom with delicate petals, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
The wide skirt hung on the ground. Su Yi bent down, lifted up the snow-white wedding dress, and walked onto the path in the garden.
"Wife, do you want to call for help?" The life-saving system in my heart asked:
"Young Master Bai is a cripple and useless, and Young Master Bai is a greasy, perverted, and hooligan. Otherwise... why not call on that guy Bai Ye? He has high combat power, great strength, and a weak brain, so he's just right for us to use."
"How can you... make him sound like a tool."
Su Yi frowned slightly, and mentally taught the life-saving system to learn to respect others. This is asking for help, not to be ordered around.
The life-saving system snorted, as if it was very dissatisfied.
Su Yi vaguely felt that the life-saving system seemed to have a kind of disdain for the three brothers of the Bai family, but it also knew them very well, and it seemed to be using them as tools.
The garden is not big, and the vegetation is lush. It is really inconvenient for Su Yi to carry such a big skirt. Bai Ye doesn't care about the progress of the plot. I guess he can pass the level by catching the murderer? It's unrealistic. The purpose of coming to this copy is to kill ghosts.
But now the magician is a [ghost], and Su Yi can't let him kill the ghost. If he doesn't kill the ghost, this copy will be meaningless to Bai Ye.
Su Yi thought about it. Bai Ye's hand was injured while trying to save him. He had nothing to thank him for. As a newbie, his level was low. Bai Ye probably already had all the items and potions that could be purchased. So he should compensate this guy with some exploration points.
"Send him a text message." Su Yi instructed the life-saving system in his mind, "Tell him to come to the garden to help me."
call out--
Su Yi heard the sound of the system sending a text message, and within three seconds, he heard a swish - the sound of a window opening:
Bai Ye leaned out from the window and waved at Su Yi in the garden.
He didn't make a sound, probably because he was afraid that shouting would attract other players. He knew that Su Yi was collecting evidence and definitely didn't want other players to know.
But I only sent it to myself? A text message...
Bai Ye's heart swelled up like an inflated colorful balloon.
Su Yi saw Bai Ye at the window with a smile on his face, as if he was very happy to be called to help, but he didn't seem to want to show it too obviously. He smiled for a moment and then immediately restrained himself, his expression returning to a somewhat cold look.
Bai Ye's room was on the first floor. After opening the window, he supported himself on the window frame with one hand and jumped out. As if to show off, he took a leap and landed on the ground with his long legs, then ran quickly towards Su Yi.
"Tsk." The life-saving system looked at Bai Ye's cool jump out of the window and was very dissatisfied: "What are you trying to be cool about? Be careful not to break your legs."
Su Yi found it a little funny. Compared with Bai Ye's life-saving system, this one was not much more mature. He was a little curious:
"Did you know Bai Ye before? Did he offend you? He looks so unhappy."
The life-saving system remained silent, as if it was sulking.
Bai Ye ran to Su Yi, restrained his voice, not to appear too excited, and asked in a cold voice:
"Did you find something?"
Su Yi now has a better understanding of Bai Ye's temperament and is not as afraid of him as he was at the beginning of the dungeon:
"There may be something in the garden. It's a bit difficult for me to walk in like this. Can you come with me..."
Su Yi held her skirt with both hands to prevent it from being dragged into the mud and getting dirty.
This way he would have no other hands to do other work, and with Bai Ye following him, he would have someone to take care of him no matter what happened.
Bai Ye thought that this wedding dress was indeed too inconvenient. He could help take it off. He was a privileged player...
The words went around in his throat and then he swallowed them back. It would be bad to take off other people's clothes right away, or he would make Su Yi angry.
Bai Ye thought about it and felt that he could buy a big clip to help Su Yi clip up the big hem of her skirt on both sides so that it would be easier for her to walk.
The idea almost came out of his mouth. When the words rolled to the tip of his tongue, Bai Ye suddenly thought of a solution and changed his words:
"Otherwise, can I help hold up your skirt?"
"Oh, okay. Thank you." Su Yi let go obediently and let Bai Ye help him lift his skirt.
Bai Ye took the opportunity to move one step closer to Su Yi. The holy wedding dress lay softly in his palm under the sunlight. He gently lifted up the long hem of the dress, and his heart was unconsciously softened by the glowing wedding dress.
...It was as if he and Su Yi had already taken an oath in front of the church and entered the marriage hall.
Su Yi took a few steps into the garden, and gradually felt the force behind him getting tighter. His skirt felt like it was being pulled. He turned around and saw...
I saw Bai Ye still standing there, holding her skirt in her hands, staring at the snow-white wedding dress in a daze, wondering what she was thinking about.
"Ahem, ahem."
Su Yi coughed twice, and Bai Ye immediately came back to his senses, waking up from the dream of being a bridegroom. He pretended to be nothing and held up the wedding dress, saying:
"Go further inside?"
Su Yi nodded, turned around and walked towards the depths of the garden. Bai Ye, holding up his wedding dress, followed behind him.
[Bai Shen, what were you thinking when you stared at my wife just now!]
[Hahahaha, he is so fascinated by the wedding dress, he must be wondering how he got cheated on? His good brother (funny)]
[Cuckolding the eldest brother is not enough, he also has to kill the second brother!]
[Why? Why does it have to be so bloody? Why don’t you just kill someone? I am different? I support the three brothers of the Bai family sharing a wife (doge)]
The mottled shadows of the trees fell on Su Yi and Bai Ye, the light flowed between the leaves, the fragrance of flowers and trees was overwhelming, and the chirping of insects sang little tunes in the green ivy bushes.
Bai Ye felt a kind of peace in the depths of his soul. This was the first time in his history of playing the script-killing game that he felt that life was as beautiful as in the real world.
In this script, no one seems to be alive. The audience is a talkative expert who watches the virtual script every day. The players are robots that reason their way through levels, or corpses that fail to make it through levels. He himself is like a knife that kills ghosts. He doesn't know if he can keep upgrading like this, with increasing popularity and more gold coins, and whether this so-called script-killing will really allow him to achieve...
"There."
Su Yi spoke and pointed diagonally forward, interrupting Bai Ye's dangerous thoughts.
Bai Ye looked over there, but he couldn't see anything noteworthy about that place. He pulled his gaze back and followed Su Yi's fingertips upwards:
The white lace gloves, the snow-white arms, the exposed smooth shoulders, the rosy face in the sun, the black hair and eyes, the misty white veil, every part is lovable.
...Will this so-called script-killing really allow him to realize...becoming Su Yi's groom one day?
Bai Ye's light screen flashed red for a second, and just as he was about to start the punishment, he suddenly realized that his master's thinking... was too unexpected.
The light screen re-read the owner Bai Ye's current brain. That brain was like a high-speed camera, taking close-up photos of the bride crazily, but could not find any signs of illegal thinking.
The red light went out, and the light screen of the white night returned to calm again.
Su Yi walked diagonally forward, the mud under his feet became wetter and wetter, Bai Ye felt something was wrong?:
"Don't go any further. Let me go take a look first."
Bai Ye saw that his hiking shoes were covered with a lot of dirt, so he thought he would need to wash them when he got home. He was afraid that Su Yi would also dirty his shoes:
"Just wait for me right here."
Su Yi hummed. The soil under their feet was reddish-brown and a little wet, completely different from the dry yellow soil when they first entered the garden.
Su Yi knew that this was the place he was looking for, and said to Bai Ye:
"Be careful."
Bai Ye nodded, he strode forward, and after Su Yi's reminder, he began to observe his surroundings carefully.
This piece of red mud land was not very big. Bai Ye glanced at it a few times and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the land in front of him on the left.
The vegetation here is... a little sparse.
He squatted down to observe carefully, and moved the bush in front of him with his hands. The small branches were shaking and the roots were not strong.
It also drops its leaves and has very low nutritional value.
——It seems like they were transplanted here at random, and several of them have died due to improper transplantation.
Bai Ye began to have doubts in his heart. It was just as Su Yi said. There was indeed something wrong here.
He didn't want to ask Su Yi how he knew something was wrong here, or what clues he had gathered. He just thought Su Yi was amazing, just like when he watched Su Yi solve math problems in high school, he felt a genuine admiration for him.
Bai Ye took out a mat from his backpack, threw it on the red mud and laid it out to form a path, not to let the red mud dirty Su Yi's skirt. After laying it out, he waved his hand to signal:
"Come and take a look, there's definitely something wrong with this place."
Su Yi lifted her skirt and walked over quietly. The red mud here was even wetter. He saw Bai Ye squatting next to the bushes, with half of his hiking shoes soaked in mud and extremely dirty.
"These plants were moved from other places." Bai Ye said, expressing his intuitive insights.
I don't know why, but when he said this in front of Su Yi, he felt a little awkward, as if he was back in high school, when Su Yi taught him how to do math problems and he wrote one word on each problem: solution. When Su Yi looked at him helplessly...
Su Yi also noticed the strangeness of the plants at a glance, but he thought more deeply that someone had transplanted the plants here on purpose, which meant that the original plants on the land were gone.
He squatted down, his skirt hanging on the clean mat, and looked at the soil under the roots of the transplanted plants. He then compared it with the soil of the non-transplanted plants next to it and soon found the difference:
"These are new soils." Su Yi said:
"Someone shoveled away the original vegetation, dug it up, and covered it with new soil."
...After it was built, the land was left without any vegetation, bare like the shiny forehead of the Mediterranean Sea. It was extremely conspicuous in the garden. In order to cover it up, other plants were transplanted to distract attention.
"Dig?" Bai Ye frowned.
Most people dig the soil to bury things.
Bai Ye quickly took out a special shovel for digging from his backpack. With one shovel, he shoveled away all the transplanted plants, exposing the original red mud surface.
Su Yi couldn't help with this heavy work and could only watch from the side. Bai Ye was very efficient. He dug a pit quickly with one shovel after another...
With another shovel, the iron shovel head made a bump, as if it hit something!
In the bright sunlight, in the red mud, Su Yi could see clearly:
That's half a skull.
Human skull.
The other half was still sunk in the mud.
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was buried in the soil. He threw away the shovel, quickly put on gloves and started to clean up the red mud.
Fifteen minutes later, finally, everything in the mud was cleared out.
Su Yi stood in the bright sunshine, looking at the things on the ground, and felt a chill all over his body.
In the red mud of the bright garden, they dug out two skeletons.
