When investigating the inn before, the basement had not been opened and the players had never gone down there.
The task that the housekeeper assigned to Yue Ya sounded very dangerous and had a bit of bad intentions.
Just like before, after Yue Ya finished reading the note, the housekeeper's note disappeared without leaving any trace.
Yue Ya told his two teammates again and again about the deal he had made with the housekeeper, emphasizing the contents on the small note.
Zhuang Yan touched his chin, his eyes serious: "Boss Yue, you and the housekeeper just had a verbal deal, there is no contract, right?"
Yueya nodded: "That's right."
Yun Yu frowned: "Without any contractual constraints, a cunning guy like the butler might..."
"He can break the contract, and so can I," Yue Ya sat on the tatami-like bed, his short legs unable to reach the ground. He placed his hands on his knees, looking very well-behaved, but his words were very domineering: "No matter what he is planning, I will accompany him to the end."
Yueya has this confidence because he has a very safe prop that he has not used yet.
Zhuang Yan slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, then we'll accompany you to the end."
"Let's just spend the night peacefully," Yun Yu said, "The zombies are all here. What do you think will come out between 2 and 4 tonight?"
Zhuang Yan spread his hands: "Needless to say, the innkeeper has already set his sights on Yue Ya and will never give up. The most common thing she has under her command is puppets."
Yue Ya: "Don't worry, the players haven't earned enough money to buy their lives yet. With them around, we can sleep well tonight."
Zhuang Yan understood immediately: "Hahaha, that's right, those puppets and spirit insects are all money. Now that the players understand the benefits of these things, they should know how to make money tonight."
Yunyu looked at Yueya: "Are we not doing anything tonight?"
"There is one thing to do." Yue Ya took out the Samsara Tree. It was quite large, so Yue Ya only exposed the part where the Wind Spirit Grass was planted.
Over the past half day, the planted wind spirit grass has grown lush and green.
Yueya jumped to the ground and said with satisfaction, "It's time to harvest."
Then, he took out three jars of spare brewing liquid.
It is said to be the raw liquid for brewing wine, but it is actually blood.
Zhuang Yan suddenly realized: "You want to cultivate the Wind Spirit Flower, right? The triggering condition of your magic bag is two Wind Spirit Flowers?"
Yueya: “Yeah.”
Yunyu helped pick the grass: "How many flowers do you plan to grow?"
Yue Ya: "We are not short of money now, but the Wind Spirit Flower is a rare item that will be useful in the future. The more we cultivate, the better."
Just like last time, Yue Ya picked 30 leaves of Wind Spirit Grass as seeds and replanted them on the Samsara Tree. He then divided the Wind Spirit Grass into three parts and put them into the wine jar.
Yun Yu: "All we have to do now is wait for the flowers to bloom."
Yue Ya curled her lips and smiled: "We really have to wait for the flowers to bloom. I hope the housekeeper's flowers will bloom better."
Yun Yu was startled: "Are you planning to..."
Yue Ya smiled and didn't answer, but Zhuang Yan and Yun Yu both guessed what he was going to do.
Zhuang Yan wanted to light a candle for the housekeeper: "Boss Yue, you are so mean."
Yue Ya blinked innocently: "It's the same with you. I didn't say anything, but you understood it."
Zhuang Yan: "After all, the closer you are to the red, the more you will be known."
Yue Ya smiled and said, "Take a rest. We will take action at five in the morning."
[What are they talking about? I don't understand.]
[Hahaha, I got it right away. Yuezai is really full of bad intentions. I hope the housekeeper will be blessed.]
[The logic of Yuezai’s behavior is so easy to understand. The housekeeper has worked so hard to cultivate the Wind Spirit Flower, so of course we have to go...]
With Yueya's puppet keeping watch, Yueya's room felt very safe, and the three of them fell asleep quickly.
In the middle of the night, Yue Ya was awakened by the noise outside. After rubbing her eyes and sitting up, she found that Zhuang Yan and Yun Yu were also awake.
Zhuang Yan: "Just like you said, the puppets of the innkeeper came to harass us, and the others are dealing with them - for the puppet strings on them."
Yue Ya lay down again and wrapped himself up in the quilt: "Noisy."
At five o'clock in the morning, Yueya woke up again.
It was very quiet outside, with only a strange "rustling" sound. Yue Ya looked towards the frosted window and found several long black shadows crawling around on it, which were soon grabbed away by a pair of hands.
There were whispers outside the door: "These bugs really are endless. It's disgusting to watch."
"Shh, don't disturb Brother Yue's sleep. I heard he tends to be grumpy when he wakes up."
Yueya: “…” Is it that obvious?
It goes without saying that the ones who were guarding the door diligently were Fatty and Arou. Yue Ya hadn't assigned them any tasks, but they took the initiative to come and keep watch.
Yue Ya woke up his two teammates, and the three of them woke up and checked the zombies in the room. They were growing teeth faster and had grown new blood-sucking fangs.
After pulling out the zombie's tooth, Yue Ya left the room.
The fat man turned around and saw them, a little surprised: "Brother Yue, why are you awake? It's only five o'clock now."
Ah Rou: "Are we too noisy?"
The inn was quiet. Apart from Fatty and Arou, there were only spirit insects crawling around everywhere. Big and small ones were densely packed on the ground, making people's scalps numb.
With these two people guarding the room, the door was relatively clean, with only a few insects passing by. Yueya smelled a faint fragrance, probably the smell of the props they used to repel insects.
Yueya looked up and said, "I woke up because I had to do something."
Yueya's hair was messy from sleeping, and there was a red mark on his fair face. Ah Rou resisted the urge to flatten his hair and coughed, "Just tell us what you want to do."
Yue Ya: "I need to do this myself. You have worked hard. Go to sleep."
Zhuang Yan yawned and said, "How come there is no one here except you guys?"
Ah Rou replied, "The inn doesn't accept bugs, only spirit bug wine. It's useless to catch too many. When other players have caught enough, they will go back to their rooms and hide."
"By the way, avoid that place when you go downstairs," the fat man pointed to a place in the lobby on the first floor, "an unlucky guy accidentally killed a bug and got himself into trouble."
Yue Ya looked over as the prompt indicated and saw that the insects on the ground were indeed much denser, and there was also an ups and downs in the shape of a human.
Yueya nodded: "Okay."
"I'll spray some more perfume on you guys." Ah Rou took out a bottle of pink perfume and sprayed it into the air. "I discovered by accident tonight that this bottle of insect repellent perfume of mine also works on these spirit insects. It was worth buying it."
The air was filled with the refreshing scent of the fragrance. Ah Rou handed the bottle to Yue Ya: "Fatty and I are almost marinated by this smell, so there is no need to replenish it. You take it, and replenish it when the smell on your body fades. Also, these spirit insects just don't like this smell, but they will not be killed. You should pay attention to this."
After giving the instructions, Arou and Fatty went back to their room to rest with peace of mind.
With the insect repellent perfume, the spiritual insects avoided them, and Yue Ya and the other two successfully reached the lobby on the first floor.
Yue Ya spread his wings and flew into the air. He found the butler's portrait on the wall and touched the frame.
[Congratulations on discovering the hidden painting. Trigger condition: a wind spirit flower.]
Yue Ya retracted his hand: "The housekeeper changed the trigger conditions, which is equivalent to changing the door lock password."
Zhuang Yan: "Zombie teeth are no longer useful? What did you replace them with?"
"Wind Spirit Flower."
Zhuang Yan said with a "tsk". "The housekeeper thought that all the wind spirit grass was in his hands, so no one would have wind spirit flowers, and no one could enter his house. This triggering condition was really well-intentioned."
Yun Yu smiled: "The housekeeper probably thinks this time it will be foolproof."
"It's a good password." Yue Ya took out a jar of wine-making liquid. The blood inside was almost empty, and a purple flower grew out. The flower had not yet fully bloomed. Its shape was somewhat like a lily, but it was more delicate and restrained than a lily, with a lighter fragrance. If you smelled it carefully, there was also a fishy smell of blood.
Zhuang Yan smiled and shook his head: "It's a good password, but we just happened to be able to decipher it."
Yue Ya used the Wind Spirit Flower to knock open the "door" of the butler's portrait, let his own puppet in, and brought out two Wind Spirit Flowers - for the evening's plan, Yue Ya kindly left a flower for the butler.
[Hahahaha, Yuezai is so mean. From the moment you said you hoped the housekeeper’s flowers would bloom better, I knew you were going to steal the house.]
[Of course we want to get the flowers that the housekeeper has worked so hard to grow!]
[Please ask how big the shadow area is in the housekeeper's heart]
[First sell the grass to the housekeeper, then pick his flowers, wonderful]
[This is really waiting for the flowers to bloom]
[Squatting a housekeeper's reaction after getting up]
Yue Ya stretched and said, "The mission is over, let's go back and take a nap."
Zhuang Yan nodded: "We have to hurry up, the housekeeper will be at work soon."
Just as Yue Ya was about to fly to the second floor, he suddenly stopped, returned to his original position, and quietly looked at the paintings on the wall.
"What's wrong?"
Yueya raised her hand: "This painting has changed."
Zhuang Yan and Yun Yu looked at the painting he mentioned. The painting showed a bride wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe, with no facial features.
Yun Yu raised her eyebrows: "It has become positive."
The paintings in this inn are all from the back. Once they turn to the front, it means that the clues have been updated.
Zhuang Yan said, "Now it seems that the woman in the painting is dressed somewhat like the innkeeper. Could this be her lair?"
"It's hard to say." Yue Ya touched the picture frame and got a prompt.
[Congratulations on discovering the hidden painting. Trigger condition: three souls.]
Souls, Yueya has plenty.
He took out the soul-hiding umbrella and caught a ghost.
Feng Feng, who was pulled out, curled her eyes and said, "Master, is there anything I can do for you?"
According to previous experience, the hidden painting will spit out the thing that can unlock it, but this painting may be related to the proprietress. Yue Ya didn't want to take risks with Feng Feng, so he stuffed him back and captured three ordinary ghosts again and stuffed them into the hidden painting.
The hidden painting passage opened, but did not spit out the three ghosts.
Yueya: "Fortunately, Fengfeng was not stuffed in there."
[Feng Feng didn't know that he had escaped a disaster]
[Hahaha, if I include the awakened NPC as compensation, it would be a huge loss]
Yue Ya asked the puppet to first enter the space in the painting to investigate, but the puppet got stuck just when it squeezed in half of its body.
Yue Ya was a little confused: "Can't get in?"
The puppet paused, took out a yellowed notebook from inside and handed it to Yue Ya.
It turns out that the space in this painting is very small, and there is only this notebook inside.
Yue Ya opened the book and saw a strange illustration. On the paper was a faceless little man wearing a phoenix crown and a red scarf. Its neck and limbs were wrapped with blood-red thread, but the end of the thread was held in its own hand.
Next to this painting it says: Independent puppet.
Zhuang Yan took a look and said, "Is the little figure in the painting the innkeeper's wife? What does this mean? Is it hinting to us that the innkeeper is also a puppet?"
Yueya pointed at the words on the painting: "It's still a puppet that controls itself."
The little man in the painting is holding his own puppet string, and the word "independence" is a very obvious hint.
Yue Ya also found a picture book with the same style in the Sleeping Statue copy, and it was obvious at first glance that it was the work of Black Crow.
"That is to say, the innkeeper also has the weakness of a puppet," Yun Yu said slowly, "As long as her puppet string is cut, we can use fire to deal with her."
"But when I awakened my bloodline, I couldn't see any puppet line for her. Maybe the answer is in the picture book." Yue Ya turned to the next page, which actually introduced the Wind Spirit Flower.
In addition to its function of imprisoning souls, the Wind Spirit Flower has two other important functions: one is to repair the soul, and the other is to open the third eye.
As long as you crush the petals of the wind spirit flower and drip the juice into your eyes, you will be able to see things that you cannot see normally.
Yueya believes that the function of "opening the third eye" is mainly designed for the innkeeper. In other words, only by dripping the juice of the Wind Spirit Flower can you see the puppet strings on the innkeeper.
The picture book only has these two pages drawn on it. Turning down the page, there is only blank paper. Yue Ya closed the picture book and smiled: "This flower is really nice. Thank you, housekeeper."
Zhuang Yan burst into laughter: "If you don't leave now, you will have to thank him in person."
Yue Ya looked at the time. It was almost six in the morning. "Let's go. We can still sleep a little longer."
…
Yueya had a very pleasant nap and felt refreshed when she woke up.
Thinking that he would be able to open the treasure bag in the Fengling Temple tonight and get the things left by Black Crow, he no longer had the energy to get up.
Feifei crawled into the bed, nudged Yueya's neck with her head, and Yueya picked her up and kissed her.
Yueya jumped off the bed, put on his little shoes, and left the room. He wanted to spread his wings and fly downstairs, but failed.
After trying two or three times, Yue Ya was sure that the power of the curse on him had increased, suppressing the Pi Xiu bloodline in his body.
Yue Ya opened his palm and tried to summon the Wood God Vine. After trying for a long time, only a small bud bloomed in his palm.
hateful!
I am so weak, but I have to be the bait tonight.
Yueya put down his hand and said, "Fei Fei, let's go find some fun."
Fei Fei: “Meow~”
Without wings, Yueya had no choice but to hold the handrail of the stairs and walk down step by step.
After finally getting down to the first floor, Yue Ya discovered that the small sprout was not successfully retracted, but instead grew out from the back of his hand.
Yue Ya opened her eyes wide and said, "It's over. There's grass growing on the back of my hand. I don't think I have any blood disorder, right?"
[Yes, it’s a bit cute]
[If it grows on the head, wouldn’t it become a sheep?]
[Moon Cub: Weak and helpless]
[But it’s cute hahaha]
Yue Ya tried to take it back but failed, so he had to leave it alone for the time being, lest if he couldn't take it back, more vines would grow and he would turn into a straw man... Well, the scene was too beautiful to imagine.
Yue Ya regrouped and ran to the counter to greet the butler: "Good morning, Mr. Butler."
The butler folded his hands, with a gloomy face. He leaned over to look at Yue Ya, with "I am very angry" written on his left eye and "You are such a jerk" written on his right eye.
The housekeeper questioned, "How dare you come to me? Did you steal my Wind Spirit Flower?"
Yueya waved her hands innocently: "How can you doubt me? Don't forget that we are in the same boat..."
The housekeeper coughed twice: "Don't talk nonsense."
Yue Ya turned serious and asked in a low voice, "Your Wind Spirit Flower was stolen? Tonight?"
The housekeeper snorted coldly and cracked his fingers. "There's still one flower left. It won't be a problem. If I find out which bastard stole my flower, I'll make him pay."
Yueya nodded in agreement: "He will be in trouble."
Yue Ya paused and said, "By the way, is it possible that you failed in cultivation and only grew one flower?"
The housekeeper showed a puzzled look: "It seems to make sense. After all, I have set up a foolproof barrier. No one should be able to enter my house."
Yue Ya smiled and said, "Then why are you still doubting? In my opinion, the cultivation has failed. These precious things are delicate. It's lucky to have one flower bloom."
The housekeeper suddenly understood, and the haze on his face disappeared: "You are right, breakfast is ready, go and eat it, eat more."
[《No One Can Fall Through》]
[The furthest distance in the world is when your flowers are in my backpack, but you believed my lies and told me - you are right]
