The man in the suit knew that Yue Ya was not joking and that with his style of doing things, he would really do what he said.
For the vengeful spirits, the pain of having their souls devoured is like being burned by fire. Being raised and devoured bit by bit is like setting fire to their bodies from time to time, with uncertain timing and frequency. This kind of torture far exceeds the pain itself and is truly a life worse than death.
Yue Ya looked at the ghost in the suit with a calm expression, even gentle, but the ghost in the suit felt like he was being scrutinized.
"I..." The ghost in the suit opened his mouth and his tongue seemed to be tied.
Yue Ya: "Don't worry, just take your time."
The ghost in the suit finally said, "I have killed several people."
After he started talking, he spoke faster: "I handled it very well and no one found out. One day, I was handling the body and was caught by my cousin. I wanted to kill him, but he said he would keep it a secret for me and wanted to pay me a large sum to help him solve two problems."
This is the motive of the ghost in the suit to kill, for his own personal gain.
Yueya basically got a glimpse of the whole situation from his words: "These two troubles are the ghost bride and the young man from the property department."
The ghost bride's emotions fluctuated greatly. She rushed forward and grabbed the suit ghost's jaw: "Who is your cousin?"
The ghost in the suit's eyes flickered. "You know him. He's the developer of this community. His last name is Li Yu."
"How could it be him?!"
The ghost bride and the property ghost asked in unison, shocked.
The property ghost grabbed his hair with both hands, unable to digest this information: "You are lying to me, Li Yu is about the same age as you, how can he be your uncle!"
"In terms of seniority, he is indeed my cousin. My father is an illegitimate child who has never been recognized as a descendant of his family. To the Li family, I am an invisible person..." The suit ghost sneered: "When I knew that he and I were of the same kind, I felt secretly happy."
Yue Ya expected this result. He was neither surprised nor interested in learning about the Li family tree. He just asked some details: "What did Li Yu tell you?"
"My uncle said that these two people relied on being his relatives to default on the house payment, and he wanted to get rid of them... I don't care about that much. If the truth is revealed, I will die." The ghost in the suit laughed softly, his face gradually twisted. "He promised to help me cover it up, and after the matter is completed, he will give me a new identity, a new house and a large sum of money. Why not do it?"
“What do you mean by overdue house payment? He lent me my house because he found me a job here…” The property ghost’s voice became weaker and weaker, and he sat down on the ground dejectedly.
The ghost bride looked painful and regretted her decision: "It turned out that I pushed myself into the fire pit. My distant cousin who I hadn't contacted for 800 years wanted to give me a wedding house for free, and I actually believed it..."
The ghost in the suit showed a hint of excitement in his eyes: "After I die, I can still watch you suffer because of me. It's really a pleasure."
The ghost bride and the property ghost were enraged. They glared at him with red eyes, wishing they could tear him apart immediately.
Yueya stopped them and looked at the suit ghost with sympathy: "Have you ever thought that you are just someone else's prey?"
"What do you mean?" The ghost in the suit frowned.
Yueya asked: "How did you die?"
"On the way to play, the car broke down and fell off a cliff..."
Yueya interrupted him: "The car was given to you by Li Yu, right?"
The ghost in the suit's pupils dilated and his face became more and more gloomy, as if he suddenly figured something out.
Yue Ya chuckled: "You still thought he was very kind to you because he collected your body and took care of the aftermath, right?"
Killing a ghost will destroy his heart, and the ghost in the suit's mentality collapsed instantly.
"He collected my body and cried so miserably, but I never doubted him..." The ghost in the suit shook his body from side to side with excitement, his face full of excitement: "It turns out that everything was just a show. After he used me, he carefully planned my 'accidental' death!"
"Even if they investigate in the future, all the crimes will be attributed to you, a dead man, and he will get away with it," Yue Ya said slowly, stabbing him with the last blow: "You probably don't know yet, he collected your body in order to trap your soul here to work for him. Even in death, you will be exploited by the Li family who don't recognize you."
The suit ghost collapsed and yelled: "Stop talking!"
He lost control, and the property ghost and the ghost bride were happy.
The ghost bride sneered: "You are so pitiful."
The property ghost shook his head: "Your life is a tragedy."
The ghost in the suit burst into tears, and his first reaction was: "Please scatter my ashes quickly, and stop torturing me..."
Yueya asked the property ghost: "What do the victims think?"
The property ghost learned: "It is a relief for him to scatter his ashes now, so let's feed the cats."
The ghost bride agreed: "I agree."
Suit ghost: “!”
If he could do it again, he would never set foot in 404 and would stay as far away from it as possible.
Yueya nodded: "Do as you say."
[I've never heard of a ghost making such a request, and what's worse is that it was rejected]
[The ghost in the suit is a complete villain, he deserves it]
[Fei Fei: The next meal is settled]
[The mastermind behind the scenes, Li Yu, has been living in the mouths of NPCs. Where is he hiding? Can the anchor dig him out?]
Suddenly there was a rustling sound near the door. Yue Ya looked over and saw that the tall man had woken up at some point and was quietly moving out.
Yueya walked slowly to the door and stepped on the tall man's back: "Where are you going?"
The tall man turned his head and saw him, as if he had seen a ghost, begging, "Can you please let me go?"
A sinister look flashed across the tall man's eyes, and he suddenly threw the thing in his hand. Yue Ya dodged sideways and stepped hard with his foot.
"Crack--" the sound of the bone breaking was particularly clear.
The tall man screamed and collapsed to the ground.
"Brother...why am I the one who got hurt?" The property ghost made a weak voice.
Yue Ya looked back and saw the property ghost wrapped in a fishing net and hanging in mid-air, unable to move.
This is the item that the tall man got from other players, called "Hunting Net".
This prop doesn't cause much damage, but it is quite insulting.
"Why didn't you dodge?" Yue Ya wanted to laugh.
The property ghost felt aggrieved: "I didn't react, please, take me down."
Yue Ya left the matter to the ghost bride, and he was busy interrogating Gao Danan.
"You're not new?"
When encountering danger, he directly abandons the light and joins forces with evil spirits to kill players. This operation does not seem like that of a novice.
The tall man had no choice but to try to confess and buy himself a chance: "I am indeed not a newcomer, but you have to believe me, I have no choice but to do this, I do it to survive... You are newcomers and don't know enough about this game. This is the black rule of this game, and the system will not stop it. You will find that this is simply a common occurrence..."
Yue Ya was too lazy to listen to his sophistry: "Do you have anything to do with the death of the other two players?"
The tall man fell into an eerie silence, and his speech speed was obviously not as fast as before: "I didn't kill anyone. The evil ghost forced me to cooperate and I am also a victim. If you control the evil ghost now, I will have a chance to regain my freedom... I will obey you in the future!"
"Haha... what a joke I heard?" The ghost in the suit laughed and directly exposed the tall man: "Yes, you didn't kill anyone, you just used them as human shields and looked disgusted when you pushed away their warm bodies. You knelt down to get our cooperation, and now I forced you to do it? You also found accomplices, was it also me who forced you to do it?"
The clumsy lie was ruthlessly exposed, and the tall man was very embarrassed.
"It's a dog-eat-dog show. It's really a good show."
Yueya clapped her hands, then grabbed the tall man's neck, with two curved smile lines on her lips: "You told me the rules, so we will follow them. You made a deal with the evil spirit and you have to bear the consequences yourself. This is reasonable."
The tall man trembled all over: "Give me another chance, please..."
"I'll give you a chance, but how can the innocent souls you killed rest in peace?" Yueya let go and said to the ghost bride, "They are accomplices of the suit ghost, you handle them."
The tall man was in complete despair.
"Okay~" The ghost bride placed her hands on the foreheads of the two players who had turned against her, marking them as prey, and then pulled out half of their souls and held them in her palms.
In a short while, the two players shrank into tiny puppets, which she strung with red ropes and hung on her wrists.
She admired her work with satisfaction and handed it to Yue Ya to see: "It's done."
The moment she met Yue Ya's eyes, the ghost bride's heart was shaken, and her pair of pure black eyes stared silently, as if conducting a silent judgment.
The ghost bride suddenly came to her senses. Yue Ya asked her to deal with the evil people and also to judge herself.
Her hands are stained with the blood of many innocent people. She should receive the same fate as the wicked did.
The ghost bride's eyes trembled, but she did not avoid it: "When everything is over, I will accept the punishment."
The property ghost also understood and lowered his head: "I have said it before, as long as you can help me find the murderer, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Meow~" The childish cat's cry broke the heavy atmosphere, and Fei Fei successfully diverted the attention of both people and ghosts.
When Yueya saw the look in its eyes, she knew what it wanted to do.
"Fei Fei has finished digesting it, it's time for a midnight snack." Yue Ya opened the suit ghost's urn and coaxed it gently: "You can only eat half."
The ghost in suit was controlled by the ghost bride, and he wanted to cry but couldn't: "Finish it, don't leave any."
Feifei started to eat his meal with a humming sound, and obediently stayed for half of it. The ghost in the suit could not even maintain his human form and turned into a black mist.
Yue Ya found a glass bottle, put the ashes and black mist in it, tied it with a rope and hung it around Fei Fei's neck: "This is your food for tomorrow."
"Please eat me quickly." The black mist in the glass bottle cried.
Feifei squatted in the corner and licked his fur. He stopped while licking and kept wagging his tail.
Yue Ya took a quick glance and found nothing wrong. When he looked away, he realized that something was wrong with the wall.
"Shua——" Two pale little hands stretched out from the wall to chase the fat tail. Yue Ya raised his eyes and saw that the wall suddenly had some unnatural bumps and depressions. Looking closely, it seemed to be a human face.
