Chapter 42 Night Fishing
"You smell so good."
"Though I don't remember."
"But I want to fuck you."
After hearing the above three sentences, Xu Zhiyan seemed to be choked.
After thinking for a moment, he looked puzzled and tilted his head slightly, as if he didn't understand, and looked at the other party to confirm again.
"What did you say?"
"I said I want to fuck you"
The half-snake evil spirit answered quickly, without even thinking, and repeated the last sentence.
“…”
It's really incomprehensible!
Why could this evil spirit, whom I met for the first time, speak such vulgar words!
After confirming the other party's intentions again and again, although Xu Zhiyan was still a little dazed, he quickly adjusted himself and cursed the game as a piece of garbage eight hundred times in his heart without changing his expression.
He did not answer immediately. Instead, he quickly broke away from the circle of the half-snake and called up the system panel.
[Additional Task: Find a Safe House]
[Progress: ? ? ]
After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The progress bar hasn't even appeared yet, so the danger level of this love debt evil spirit in front of me shouldn't be very high, so it's easy to deal with.
Thinking of the setting that the evil spirit can only turn into a nightmare to kill people, Xu Zhiyan lowered his head, as if he was shy and distressed, and said in a stammering voice: "But, but I can't even touch you."
Humans and spirits cannot intersect without certain conditions.
These suggestive words excited the half-snake evil spirit.
Its thick snake tail was curled more into the tent, and the whole tail almost couldn't help but want to wrap up the beautiful young man in front of it.
But everyone is in different dimensions, so it cannot touch each other.
"It doesn't matter."
"You are a human being, you need to sleep..."
As long as humans fall asleep, it can turn into a nightmare.
As if it had thought of something, the ugliness in its eyes became even stronger than before. It felt that although things were a little unnatural, they had become a lot more interesting.
This is exactly what Xu Zhiyan was waiting for.
Since this big-tailed snake can only become a nightmare if touched, then this is easy to deal with!
In the three tents next door, a brutal act of revenge was taking place, and he could already hear the fishermen's screams.
When placing the bet, he bet that he would not kill more than three monsters. He would not waste these three spots here so easily. If these three female ghosts came to kill him, the spots would be used up too quickly.
It would be great if we could make use of the evil spirit in front of us.
After finishing the calculations, Xu Zhiyan wanted to put on a shy expression, but after a brief attempt, he gave up because it was too difficult and simply buried his head deeper.
"Of course," he sighed.
"It's too dangerous here. If you are willing to help me, then wait until I fall asleep and you turn into a nightmare..."
"Fuck me however you want..."
The sound from his mouth became smaller and smaller, and Xu Zhiyan held it back. He was afraid that if he spoke too loudly, he would laugh out loud and be heard.
One bottle of the medicine for staying up late will keep you awake for a week.
He finished one bottle and still had seven bottles left!
This is not a doomsday survival dungeon. It depends on the length of the main quest. It could be as long as half a month or as short as a week. In any case, it will not exceed a month.
At worst, he can just not sleep for the rest of the time and let this horny big-tailed snake fuck the tree!
The rude response made the half-snake completely excited.
Outside the tent, which Xu Zhiyan couldn't see, the tip of its tail began to shake wildly.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was incoherent at first, their brains were overloaded, but after they came to their senses, they burst into laughter.
[Hmm? Ah? Huh?]
[You can do whatever you want. Is that the kind of fuck I want? ]
[When I saw Xiao Baiwan tapping his fingers on the ground, I knew he was going to cause trouble, but I didn’t expect that this time he was not going to cause trouble, but to cause trouble! ]
[This place is so fucking harmonious! ]
[Yes, hahahahaha, other live broadcast rooms are all running around! Every player is assigned a monster spirit! Some people don’t have weapons to deal with spirits, so they have to fight monsters in dreams, which doubles the difficulty and is miserable.]
[What did this evil spirit say? Who can lip-read? Can you translate it? ]
[Lips, you head! We don’t have snake tears here, how can we see them! ]
[My blind guess is that Xiao Baiwan sold her body to appease the evil spirit... But that doesn't make sense. Doesn't the evil spirit know that Xiao Baiwan doesn't need to sleep?]
[I probably don’t know, hahahaha! ]
[I am dying of laughter, damn! I just realized it! He is this evil spirit, hahahahaha, first he scattered people's ashes, and then he lied to them! ]
【Hahahahahahahahahahaha this evil spirit is so miserable! 】
After a while, the snake tears time was up. In order to test the ability of his love debt evil spirit, Xu Zhiyan shed tears again.
At this time, the revenge in the other three tents had ended, and a faint smell of blood wafted out from them.
Xu Zhiyan opened the tent and walked out, then sat down by the campfire again.
After the three female ghosts appeared, he was not nervous. Instead, he bent down and picked up a few pieces of wood and threw them into the fire.
The fire burned more fiercely.
It was not until now that Xu Zhiyan saw the full appearance of the half-snake evil spirit. It turned out that just now in the tent, the other party was almost curled up, otherwise it would have fallen out.
Now that there is no terrain restriction, the half-snake is more than two meters tall just standing behind him in a normal posture. The long snake tail is covered with sharp scales. Even in the spirit state, one can visually feel the powerful force.
He retracted his gaze, picked up the firewood stick beside him and pointed at the three female ghosts opposite him, and said with a worried look on his face: "There are three of them, can you really beat them? Can you do it?"
Can we fight to the point where both sides suffer losses?
But the half-snake obviously didn't think so.
It sneered, lowered its body to Xu Zhiyan's ear, and said arrogantly: "Are you insulting me?"
“…”
Xu Zhiyan paused with his hand holding the stick and couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.
This stupid snake is even more pretentious than him!
If I had known earlier, I should have scattered all his ashes!
However, the other party was so confident that Xu Zhiyan became cautious instead, and questioned the way he was trying to deceive the other party.
Thinking that these evil spirits were only seeking revenge, he added hesitantly, "Don't kill them yet."
The female ghosts do not have diluted memories like the half-snakes.
The hatred was so strong that they could not maintain their rationality and they just followed their instinct to look for the only living person who still had a chance of survival.
Xu Zhiyan saw that the half-snake simply withdrew its gaze from him and glanced at the three female ghosts who were walking towards him.
The next second, countless translucent snake spirits rose from the ground, trapping the female ghosts in place, and even the corpses on the ground were nailed to the ground.
"It's over." The half-snake said coldly.
It seemed to have thought of something and hooked its finger at the three female ghosts.
The snake spirits were summoned and instantly moved the ghost girl's body to the campfire.
The half-snake stretched out his hand and scratched the body of one of the female ghosts with his fingertips, leaving his fingertips stained with dark substance.
It put its finger under its nose and sniffed it, then frowned and shook its hand, shaking off the strange substance belonging to the female ghosts, and said in disgust: "It's too light."
"What do you mean it's too bland?" Xu Zhiyan was confused.
Everything just happened so fast that before he could react, he saw three female ghosts being tied up and brought to him.
“The taste of the soul.”
"The taste of this hatred is not very good, it's too light."
Speaking of other things, the half-snake was not interested and his tone was a little cold, as if nothing else was worth his attention except the young man in front of him.
"...You actually eat souls?" Xu Zhiyan was a little shocked. He thought all snakes eat mice.
This question stumped the half-snake.
With only 15% of the ashes left, it has lost a lot of memory. It only remembers wanting to kill the human in front of it and be with him forever. As for what it eats, it has no recollection of it at all.
Xu Zhiyan had a strong ability to read people's expressions. He could tell at a glance that the half-snake was feeling uncomfortable, so he quickly changed the subject.
“In fact, they are miserable too.”
This is truly what I said.
If all the characters in front of him are victims and perpetrators of love debts, then the other three fishermen are different from him, the perpetrator whose memory was forcibly added after entering the game. The other three have actually harmed others and deserved to be entangled.
Thinking that there were still three hours before dawn, Xu Zhiyan was worried that this stupid snake would call him to go to bed.
So, facing the burning gaze of the half-snake, I asked nervously, "Can I know their story?"
Afraid that the other party would not believe him, he raised his head and looked into the other person's eyes, trying his best to express his desire to hear the story to the fullest.
The half-snake, who was already anxious to start sleeping, was almost melted by this look. In the short contact, the human in front of it was weak, beautiful and docile...
It's strange, why would it want to kill the other?
It wished it could rub the other party into its own bones!
It's just scattering some ashes, no big deal!
Beauty can lead to mistakes.
Faced with Xu Zhiyan's eager eyes, the half-snake almost immediately gave in, shaking the tip of its tail and talking about the three female ghosts in front of it.
The first one is the girl in a white dress.
She was only in high school. She ran away from home in anger after an argument with her parents and met Chen Zai while working outside.
Although Chen Zai was just an ordinary worker, he was old after all, and he usually dressed himself up and looked quite serious. With a few sweet words and a salary that was much more than the girl's pocket money, he easily achieved a dimensionality reduction attack and became a romantic relationship with the girl.
But the girl’s family is not stupid.
They found him soon, and after enough psychological counseling, the girl came to her senses and decided to break up with Chen Zai and go home to continue her studies.
The night before she was to return home, she was stabbed four times by Chen Zai, ending her life at a young age.
The day after her death, Chen Zai buried the body and hid the murder weapon.
Just when he thought everything was safe and returned to the rental house, he found that things in the house were moving on their own, as if there was another person there, but he couldn't see him...
The second was a woman who jumped off a building with her child.
She was Fang Guocheng's first wife, and they had worked together through thick and thin before Fang Guocheng became successful.
When Fang Guocheng was still a mechanic, she worked with him. The two of them got up early and went to bed late, working hard together to earn money in the hope of living a good life in the future.
Later, the two of them took out all their savings and bought a small car repair shop. From then on, it took them ten years to finally turn a small car repair shop into one of the larger used car trading companies in the local area. It can be said that their life finally paid off after all the hard work.
But the good times didn’t last long.
As Fang Guocheng became richer and richer, his need for women was no longer about being able to work hard with him.
The original wife has gone through ups and downs over the past decade and is no longer a delicate flower in the room. She will neither lick his boots in front of outsiders nor indulge him in spending money recklessly.
He found a new lover, but was soon discovered. During an argument, he accidentally beat his original wife to death. He had no choice but to push her downstairs to pretend that she committed suicide. All this was witnessed by his five-year-old son.
In order to avoid going to jail, he cruelly threw his son away.
That night, before Fang Guocheng had finished cleaning up the mess, he saw his wife and son, whose heads had been smashed, standing outside his study...
It's almost dawn.
When it came to the story of the third woman, the half-snake evil spirit became a little impatient and spoke faster.
This pile of body parts belonged to Jiang Lie’s wife.
The two of them always quarreled over trivial matters. When faced with her husband's tendency to domestic violence, she chose to endure it, but daily life was not always smooth sailing, and the arguments only intensified.
"She was dismembered alive by Jiang Lie, and she held a heavy grudge against him. Jiang Lie brought all the body parts here."
Perhaps it was a matter of time or the process was too brutal, but it did not explain the details to the human in front of it.
And after the third story ends.
A new pop-up window popped up in front of Xu Zhiyan.
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the branch quest - Soul of Pain]
[Note: It is detected that the player has unlocked three or more character backgrounds in the pre-story. Please take the resentful items from the dead NPC and throw them into the Amber Mountain Reservoir to comfort the suffering soul. ]
[Task Tips: The water in the Amber Mountain Reservoir is very special because it is soaked ▇▇▇▇. It can eliminate resentment or isolate evil spirits. ]
[Progress: 0%]
[Task Reward: Special Bait]
As soon as the side quest appeared, the barrage of comments that had just been expressing sympathy for the young ladies' plight suddenly went crazy.
[Isn't this thread hidden too deeply? ]
[Speechless! The rest of the live broadcast rooms are going crazy. Who the hell isn't being chased around the world by all kinds of male, female, dog, and cat ghosts? And they still need to understand the background to trigger it? ]
[I cried, I wasn’t pretending.]
【Wow, wow, wow, me too. The ladies are so miserable. 】
【Ahhhh, Xiao Baiwan hit upon this by accident! What kind of good luck is this! 】
[But I want to know, if the love debt ghost keeps following, will you think of other ways... After all, this ghost looks very fierce. ]
[I think so. The more powerful you are, the more ideas you can come up with! ]
Xu Zhiyan didn't have time to care what the comments were guessing.
"Branch quest?" He didn't expect that he would trigger a new branch quest just by delaying time to listen to the NPC settings.
Moreover, this special bait sounds very suitable for the current scenario!
The half-snake evil spirit on the other side was probably affected by the system and could not see the panel. It was still immersed in the joy of satisfying the request of the person in front of it.
After the three stories were told, the sky turned pale.
Seeing that the person in front of him didn't move, the half-snake evil spirit moved closer.
"As long as you leave the camp, these three evil spirits will not bother you anymore." After saying that, it added excitedly.
"Tonight, I will come to collect my payment."
Xu Zhiyan put away the panel and nodded, watching the morning light break through the clouds, and the evil spirits in front of him gradually dissipated into the air.
Overnight, he was the only person left in the empty camp.
He took off his thick coat, blew some hot air into his palms, rolled up his sleeves, stepped into the morning sun, went into the tents of the three dead fishermen, and started searching for side items.
…
The sun rises and time passes.
The old guide didn't sleep all night. He tossed and turned in the tent and looked very unwell.
He could hear some of the evil spirit's words, but the evil spirit that appeared yesterday was too powerful, and the power carried by the voice almost pierced his brain.
When he crawled out of the tent in a daze, he saw an even bloodier scene.
The weak young man named Xu was squatting outside Jiang Lie's tent, holding the bloody body parts in his two hands, frowning as if he was thinking about something important.
The bodies of Jiang Lie and the other three, who had already died, were pulled out and placed neatly on an open space nearby.
In addition, there were some supplies that were looted and neatly piled around the campfire.
The old guide was confused and immediately wanted to retreat.
But his movements here have been noticed.
When Xu Zhiyan heard that the old guide had woken up, he immediately stood up and waved the body parts in his hand, and shouted to the old guide in surprise: "Great! You're awake? Come and help me!"
He was almost sick of finding things to resent!
The other two were fine.
Chen Zai's murder weapon was a blood-stained dagger, and Fang Guocheng used a stainless steel ornament to knock his wife unconscious. It was simple and easy to preserve, and was found easily.
Only Jiang Lie, in order to make it easier to carry, stuffed the body parts everywhere. He stuffed a few pieces in his backpack, rolled a few pieces in his clothes, and hid a few pieces in the tent bag. He searched for the whole morning and almost two hours, but he was still two pieces short of finding them.
A few minutes later, after a fierce ideological struggle, the old guide finally compromised with reality.
His skinny, hunched body seemed even shorter.
With one more person helping, the progress was much faster.
It took the two of them less than half an hour to find an iron lunch box from the fishing supplies that Jiang Lie distributed to everyone. The lunch box he gave to Fang Guocheng and Chen Zai contained his wife's body parts.
When he finally put the person together, Xu Zhiyan had already collapsed on the ground exhausted, sweating profusely.
Perhaps out of fear of the young man, the old guide tried to find a conversation: "Have you had breakfast?"
"...Can you still eat more?" Xu Zhiyan stared at the old guide with a perverted look.
The corpse was not fresh and did not smell good. After finishing the fight, he not only lost his appetite but also felt like vomiting.
The old guide was so upset by the look on his face.
Don't you see who is the pervert!
But he was scared and didn't dare to confront.
"It's going to be foggy soon. We'll set off in two hours." The old guide looked at the sky and changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyan went to boil some hot water.
After boiling water, he lay on the grass, weakly pointed at the bodies of the three fishermen, pursed his lips and said, "Do they have what you want? If so, take it out now. I need the bodies."
This old man is not a human. He feeds worms to the fishermen who go to Amber Mountain and uses human body temperature to cultivate more worms.
Although he didn't seem like a good person, after communicating with him, he found that he was a person who punished evil and promoted good. Not only did he give him a lot of information, but he also worked hard to help find the body parts.
Xu Zhiyan labeled the old guide in front of him as a "good old man", and his wrinkled old face became much more pleasing to the eye.
"What do you want to do?" The old guide didn't expect that the young man understood his needs so thoroughly.
"After all, we are in the same business. I am going to throw their bodies into the Amber Mountain Reservoir. Since they are all dead, let it be." Xu Zhiyan said as he lay there, tapping the ground quickly with his fingertips.
The old guide was stunned. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so conscientious.
He took out a small bottle from his tent, and without further ado, went to the three bodies.
After having enough rest, Xu Zhiyan also found a towel from the camp, mixed it with warm water, wiped off the dirt on his body, and went back to the tent to change into new clothes.
When he came out, he saw that there was a cut on the top of the heads of the three corpses.
The old guide took a long and thick iron nail from somewhere and chiseled a hole in the head of each of the three people. The three small bottles were just perpendicular to the holes on the top of their heads.
One by one, the round white worm larvae crawled out of the hole, mixed with blood and brain matter, and rolled into the small bottle.
For some reason, Xu Zhiyan suddenly thought of some trees in UNESCO films that store juice. As long as you drill a hole in them, juice will continue to flow out...
Seeing him standing by and staring at her, the old guide felt uneasy and explained, "I don't feed everyone to the worms. They are all people who have done great evil and are going to die."
As he said this, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Zhiyan.
In fact, among these four people, the one haunted by the strongest evil spirit is the young man in front of him, but for some reason, after a night, this man is not hurt at all!
It’s weird, it’s fucking weird!
By the time the old guide had collected the bugs, made a simple cart, and packed up the bodies of the three people, Xu Zhiyan had already stuffed all the usable supplies into his backpack.
[Task 1: Go to Amber Mountain Reservoir with a local guide]
[Progress: 90%]
[Note: After the pre-task, the dungeon will add a survival mode, and the food brought by the players will not be edible. ]
Xu Zhiyan opened the panel to check the copy notes and the progress of Task 1, and felt a little worried.
He searched the lairs of the other three people and only took out two compressed biscuits and some drinks. He had very little food left. In other words, the system task did not determine from the beginning that the NPCs here could leave alive.
Once you get to the reservoir, you have to catch some fish to have food to eat.
“Can dogs catch fish?”
He couldn't help but think of his teammate's helicopter dog.
If cats can do it, dogs should be able to do it too, right?
…
The mountains were thick with fog.
The old guide was sweating profusely as he dragged the cart with great effort. He handed the rope on the cart to Xu Zhiyan only when he could faintly hear the sound of water.
"It's only a little distance away. I can't go any further. Just keep walking along this path and you'll reach the edge of the reservoir in a few minutes."
Xu Zhiyan took the cart rope and pulled it with effort.
It's OK, it can be dragged.
It’s just a bit heavy, after all, there are four corpses piled on it!
Watch the old guide disappear in the fog.
He sighed, pulled up the rope, and continued forward.
Fortunately, not long after we started walking, we heard a burst of cheerful dog barking.
"Woof! Woof!"
As the screams grew louder, Xu Zhiyan stopped, holding the rope nervously in his hand.
The moment the flying golden retriever appeared, he shouted, "Xiaoyi! Open your mouth!" and threw the rope in his hand away.
"Woof! Oh!"
The flying puppy with its tail spinning in a spiral thought the other was playing a game with it, so it flew over and firmly held the rope in its mouth. Both puppies had pride in their eyes.
Awesome dog.jpg
Xu Zhiyan's face froze. He took out a small rake the size of a palm from his prop backpack and scratched Xiaoyi's dog's head twice.
This is an S-level useless item that can speed up the growth of plants in any copy. However, due to its small size, there are almost no scenarios where it can be used, so Xu Zhiyan simply uses it as a dog comb.
A few days after the dungeon was over, Jin Sheng couldn't resist the little dog, so he made several video calls to explain Xiaoyi's situation, which also made Xu Zhiyan more familiar with the dog.
"Let's go find your dog dad." He said helplessly.
For some reason, this dog is so strong that it can knock Jin Sheng over when it runs fast.
“Woo!”
Xiaoyi was very satisfied. He held the rope in his mouth and walked forward. He pulled the broken cart quickly and well, much better than Xu Zhiyan and the old guide, who were both old, weak and sick.
Soon, Jin Sheng, who was unable to outrun the dog, appeared panting. He looked at the corpse on the cart in surprise, with a terrified expression.
Xu Zhiyan knew that his teammates had a lot to say, but he had more important things to do right now: "I'll talk about it later. First, help me carry the body to the reservoir."
Just like that, all the players who came to the vicinity of the reservoir saw the cart dragging the corpses. Some even began to speculate: Maybe someone was afraid that they would have nothing to eat or catch any fish in the next survival mode, so they simply kept the NPC corpses as a backup to avoid starving to death.
Ignoring everyone's strange looks, Xu Zhiyan came to the nearest water's edge.
He first threw all the bodies off the car, and then threw the NPC's resentful objects into the water.
Ignoring the pop-up window for the side quest, he almost impatiently took out the can of milk powder from his backpack, opened it, and filled it with a few stones picked up from the roadside.
Holding the broken milk powder can, he glanced at the lake and curled his lips.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Evil."
"I think the price you quoted is too high!"
Xu Zhiyan did not wipe away the snake tears, nor did he want to see the evil spirit with a head full of colors again. Before throwing it away, he kissed the jar containing the ashes.
"I don't know if you're here, but I think this is enough to pay for last night. After all, I'm an honest businessman."
“Plop——”
As the last object of resentment splashed water, Xu Zhiyan clapped his hands, finally putting his mind at ease.
All the ashes along with the body were put into the water.
The fighting power of that big-tailed snake was much higher than he thought. After thinking it over again and again, he felt that it was too dangerous to keep it around.
Anyway, he has reunited with his teammates. Jin Sheng is much more reliable than that snake.
But on the lake surface that Xu Zhiyan could not see.
The body of the half-snake evil spirit is slowly sinking.
It looked at the beautiful young man on the shore with a bright smile in disbelief, and the restlessness in its heart could hardly be suppressed.
Yes! That's right!
This is what it's like to be a person who killed himself!
This liar.
It’s fascinating…
It slowly sank into the water until it could no longer see Xu Zhiyan.
Still want to fuck him.
The half-snake evil spirit thought.
…
In a ravine a few hundred meters away from the reservoir, there is a gray little village.
When the old guide returned home, he closed the door tightly.
Instead of changing his clothes, he lit a stick of incense at the shrine at home.
He knelt down in front of the shrine, muttering something.
“Thank you, Serpent God, for the abundance.”
"Your body will remain at the bottom of the water forever, and will never decay."
"You are eternal life."
In the shrine, the statue with a human body and a snake tail could not be seen clearly in the smoke.
