Only after seeing her remains buried by Lin Xue herself did the red-clad female ghost reveal a sweet smile to them.
Then, the woman in red disappeared from the grave mound.
A letter and a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll) were left behind.
Dear Eld,
By the time you read this letter, I will have already been murdered by that devil, the Count.
I hope you won't seek revenge for me; instead, find a faraway place and leave this city.
I want to travel the world with my wishes in mind.
The Earl's power is too great; we are no match for him.
The only thing I could do for you was to prevent him from truly having me.
Regardless of life or death, my body and soul belong only to you!
— Plum Blossom Snow
This was a letter written to Elder, but unfortunately Merlinxue never delivered it before her death.
【Sunny Doll: Sealed within is a powerful demon. Using it summons Merlin Snow to aid in battle.】
"I didn't expect that female ghost to be so powerful. It seems that she was trapped in the castle dungeon before, which is why she couldn't use her full strength."
The Earl is an invincible presence in the castle.
Unless a specific item is found, no one can do anything about him.
Originally, 629 thought that the female ghost who only knew how to follow people might just be a figurehead with no real fighting ability.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the castle, I discovered that she actually possessed the level of a vengeful ghost.
"Host, isn't the train supposed to arrive at 2 PM?"
What are we doing here tonight?
They were currently on the edge of a train tunnel, only a few hundred meters from the train station.
However, there were too many strange things going on at the train station, so they didn't choose to go there at that time.
"We've already explored all the areas of the castle; there's no need to stay there any longer!"
"Wait for me to disguise myself, then I'll take you to see the station where the strange thing is!"
Lin Xue found a dark and deserted corner and slipped into her spatial dimension, where she tidied herself up.
She possesses King-level Golden Water.
This item is useless to players; they mostly use it to exchange for items that are useful to them.
But it's different in Lin Xue's hands; she's an alchemist.
Once you understand the properties of the material, you can find a way to refine it into something useful.
When Lin Xue emerged from the space again, she had transformed into a strange being whose exact strength was impossible to discern.
This eerie aura was extremely complex; it was created by Lin Xue using King-level Golden Water.
In the world of horror, such eeriness is not uncommon, and most of them are tech-savvy ghosts with a special skill.
The system, on the other hand, is not so complicated; it can adjust itself to create an eerie aura.
The two walked down the street in the early morning, across from the old train station.
"mouse!"
"Quick! A human rat has infiltrated this place! Everyone, come and catch it!"
When the voice rang out in the crowd, Lin Xue was a little surprised. Had she been exposed so quickly?
But as she turned around, she saw a human player being strangely attacked not far away.
"Host, it looks like there's another human contestant over there!"
"It looks like this person has been discovered. They're probably a human from the same instance as you. I wonder why they weren't teleported to the castle, but are still outside the train station!"
"But judging from their appearance, they seem to be employees of a nearby shop, not the kind of people who would have come all the way from far away!"
By the time Lin Xue saw it, 629 had already finished analyzing the situation on the field.
"Let's go take a look!"
With just one look from her, 629 understood what its host meant.
It strode quickly into the crowd on its two short legs, then straightened its little body and struck a cool pose.
The next second, a powerful pressure emanated from the tiny mouse's body, frightening the surrounding monsters into ceasing their commotion.
Everyone turned their attention to 629.
"Who was just insulting me?"
"Get out here, or don't blame me for catching it myself."
Lin Xue didn't expect that her own family member would actually put on such a convincing act.
So far, at least, no one has questioned its identity.
"that……"
"grown ups……"
"I didn't mean it, I wasn't talking about you, I was... I was..."
"I was referring to this human rat, not you, sir!"
The little mustachioed weirdo who had been shouting earlier, upon hearing this and realizing that the other party was a weirdo he couldn't afford to offend, immediately crawled down to the little mouse's feet.
The big head bumped into the tiny mouse paws of 629, a scene that looked utterly comical, yet none of the eerie people present found it strange.
"I don't care, unless you compensate me for that human, I'm going to use you as a sacrifice today."
Their goal was to rescue the human contestant. Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, 629 increased the pressure a little more.
"Grandpa Mouse, Grandpa Mouse, please don't be angry, this human is yours now!"
The whole body was trembling under the pressure, and two of his bones were broken in a bizarre way, but in the end he still chose to compromise.
"Human rat, get out of here right now!"
"I happen to have a friend who likes to keep mice. If you don't behave, I'll eat you right now!"
629 stared wide-eyed, and the human player immediately came to its side.
Between dying early and dying late, one should definitely choose to die late.
