119 A Feast of a Hundred Devious Tales (13)
I have been banned from speaking by the streamer for 9999 days.
The answer before us?
What's the answer?
With a thought, Xi Ya saw the corpse with its heart pierced appear beside her once again.
She stared at the corpse, scrutinizing it.
This corpse was unlike any of the others she had ever seen; it was half-human, half-monster, its internal organs long since dehumanized.
etc!
Xi Ya was horrified and exclaimed instinctively, "It's a ghost?!"
Seeing that she had finally grasped that spark of inspiration, Qin Fu'an calmly nodded: "He is a player, and also a monster."
After a slight pause, he turned his head, his eerie green eyes silently fixed on Xi Ya's pale face, and asked with a smile, "Captain, you're a player too, so would you—"
Isn't that strange?
"Why?!" Xi Ya suddenly reached out and pulled the lifeless corpse closer, her bloodied fingers piercing the body's heart again without hesitation.
Qin Fu'an stood to the side watching as pink and white rose petals quietly fell all over him, and drooping branches gently wrapped around his well-defined wrist bones.
Xi Ya mashed the corpse's already pierced heart to pieces, then pulled out this bloody mess and examined it closely with a lamp.
A moment later, she breathed a sigh of relief, casually discarded the rotten heart, and patted her own lively chest.
"Thank goodness, I think I've only lost a piece of memory."
She turned to look at Qin Fu'an, who seemed to have unconsciously blended into the rose bushes and become one with them, and her eyes crinkled into a big smile:
"Don't worry, although my internal organs may have become slightly distorted, this person entered the instance earlier than me, and his heart is still a human heart, so I can definitely survive this round of the instance!"
As for... if I don't clear this round, and the darkness extends into the next round of the Hundred Ghosts Feast, then... well, I guess I've just had bad luck because I didn't check the almanac before going out.
"...Wash your hands, don't touch the roses." Qin Fu'an took out a bottle of clean water from his supply and threw it to her.
"Ouch." Xi Ya nodded obediently and squatted down at the spot furthest from the roots of the rose to wash the remaining dirt and blood off her fingers.
As she washed her hands with her back to him, Qin Fu'an gently tugged at the soft branches that had unknowingly wrapped around his wrist. Just as it tried to pull back, he easily restrained its retreat, raising an eyebrow and asking, "What, are you going to cut off this part of your body again?"
Rose bushes: "..."
Silence is the castle tonight.
With a slight curve in his eyebrows, Qin Fu'an held a familiar mask between his fingers. He hooked the delicate rose branch, lowered his eyes, and gently hung the mask on.
"Our Funeral Crew is missing one unofficial teammate. The recruitment requirements are simple: just be a plant monster that can bloom pretty little flowers."
He loosened his grip, watching the rose branch hook the swaying mask, and hesitated for several seconds before finally curling it up and retreating back into the rose bushes.
That means you agree.
[Damn it, when will Little Cloud stop listening to the streamer so much?!]
[The little clouds in each instance are so well-behaved, they're not at all like monsters!]
[On behalf of the Ghost Realm, I unilaterally expel it from the Ghost Realm! Ghosts with love-struck minds don't eat this, ptooey!]
[No, I just think the streamer's fingers are so long and slender, and it looks kind of erotic when she's hooking the little rose branch?]
[Upstairs +1, I'm going to give that a sharp shout, I wish I could carry the Civil Affairs Bureau and smash it against these two young people's mouths tonight!]
[As Little Cloud's maternal family member, I have to say something: My child, pull yourself together! Don't let that stinky monster trick you so easily; he's no good at all! Turn back before it's too late, Little Cloud!!]
[System notification: Viewer "天黑请回头" has been banned from commenting for 9999 days due to overly aggressive remarks. Please observe proper comment etiquette and speak politely.]
[...? Too aggressive a comment? Comment etiquette? Streamer banned? 9999 days? ? ? ]
[Hilarious! A 9999-day ban isn't the limit for a streamer, it's the limit for the streaming system.]
[Goodbye, my dear family! When you start a new account, remember not to make any more "extreme" comments, hahaha!]
[Honestly, this is the first time I've ever seen such a protective and petty streamer. He seems incredibly capable and sophisticated, but behind the scenes, he's just a lovey-dovey guy with Xiaoyunduo.]
[Someone's getting impatient, but I won't say who.]
[Hehe, if you won't tell me, then I won't tell you either~]
[None of you are going to say anything? Then I won't say anything either, hahaha...]
Looking at the screen full of "hahahahaha" without changing his expression, Qin Fu'an showed no embarrassment at being ridiculed.
What kind of "family ghost" is this? Where did this "family ghost" come from? This name and these words don't sound like anything legitimate. Don't try to associate yourself with my little cloud!
"Fu... Brother Qin." The name was on her lips but she couldn't say it. Xi Ya tried hard to squeeze out a familiar address and scratched her head. "Lan Bai's wish is a trap. The main storyline of the dungeon requires us to live until dawn. Doesn't that mean that I didn't experience the dungeon restart at all, and that this feast has never really ended from beginning to end?"
Perhaps it was Qin Fu'an's healing skills that worked, or perhaps the ever-present shadow of death finally made her calm down and think seriously, so her thoughts were racing.
"Hmm." Qin Fu'an nodded in agreement with her reasoning, put away the lamp in his hand, and said calmly, "What players thought was the restart of the dungeon was actually the dungeon constantly attracting new players to the game. This is a legacy event dungeon of the Evil Monster level."
Xi Ya: "..."
I'm numb.
No wonder this dungeon is so chaotic. Any one of these three keywords could lead to certain death, and now they're all piled up in the same dungeon...
This is because they're afraid there won't be enough players coming in, and that they won't die miserably enough.
"Wait... let me sort this out, my head is a bit of a mess." Xi Ya raised her hand like an elementary school student, and then, in front of Qin Fu'an, she took out the same kind of elementary school notebook, squatted down and buried her head in it, muttering to herself while quickly scribbling and drawing.
"The dungeon type is a legacy dungeon from the evil monster-level event. There are currently about thirty players left. Some of them have cooperated with the monsters, some have become half-human and half-monster, so it is possible that some have already completely transformed into monsters."
"The Feast of a Hundred Ghosts is a trap set by Lan Bai to play tricks on monsters and players. Making a wish cannot get you out of the instance, and restarting is not a restart. The sky has never been bright."
"The fragrance of roses is poisonous. It's unclear whether the fragrance of roses caused the amnesia, or whether the extended banquet erased a large portion of the memory."
"The banquet waiters are elusive; they are almost never seen after the banquet begins. Their existence is somewhat peculiar; they are said to be completely at the request of the distinguished guests, but in reality, they never appear at all."
"Judging from the current situation, after experiencing three banquets, players are very likely to completely transform into monsters. This is my second time, and Brother Qin's is his first time."
"So... there are two options now. One is to find Lan Bai by force, and the other is to use the method of that player from the last banquet to clear the rose roots and lure out Lan Bai."
"Hmm..."
Suddenly, Duck, who was deep in thought, looked up and asked her teammate who was playing with a rose branch, "What should we do after we find Lamb? Should we expose his trickery, or fight him and take him down first?"
Qin Fu'an lowered his eyes to meet her gaze, and after a moment, he smiled and said, "No, we should make a wish to him."
Xi Ya was stunned: "Huh?!"
