Chapter 128 Heavenly Evil Ghost
The final search result was, of course, that there were no bodies in anyone's room.
A group of people returned downstairs and began to analyze again. Lawyer Qin couldn't figure it out: Where did the body of the male high school student go?
——Hehe, of course it went into my wife’s belly.
But Lin Xi would never blow himself up.
After discussing for a long time, there was no result. At this time, the voiceover suddenly asked a question: "Lawyer Qin, there is a mark on your door that was smashed. Did you notice it?" Lawyer Qin shook his head in confusion: "I don't know."
A glint of doubt flashed in the voice actor's eyes, and there was a hint of coercion in his voice. "That's impossible, Lawyer Qin. I don't believe you'd ignore such things. It's obvious, and I'm sure others must have seen it."
Lin Xi also felt that with Lawyer Qin's observation, it was impossible for him not to have seen it. They had many theories about the cause of this. Lin Xi watched the excitement from the side for a while. When lunchtime came, Lin Xi prepared lunch again and took it upstairs. This time, the foul-mouthed man was not around, and no one mentioned Lin Xi carrying the plate upstairs to eat.
After returning to the room, Lin Xi received an SC message, but it was a bit confusing and Lin Xi didn't know what it meant.
She read it out with some confusion: "Tian Xiegui and Guaziji?"
Her expression perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be confused. Not only did Lin Xi feel puzzled by this news, but even the audience in the live broadcast room didn't know what it meant.
【What? What does this mean?】
[Why only seven words? Isn't there a limit of thirty words? Using only seven words is too extravagant. ]
[They're still posting these inexplicable messages. What are the officials doing?]
[Is the previous post using 2G? Didn't you see the uproar abroad about the inexplicable vocabulary restrictions? They keep saying things like "sensitive" words can't be posted.]
[Wow, is this true? Is it the same in China? ]
Lin Xi was truly confused inside, but the audience outside could still look up what this meant on the Internet. When they all understood, Lin Xi scratched his head and asked, "What is this?"
Although Lin Xi didn't have internet access, she had Chen Sang Ning. Her memory had recovered a lot, and her mind was clear. She tilted her head and asked Lin Xi, "Wife, don't you know this story?"
"I don't know."
Chen Sangning sat across from Lin Xi and explained to her, "This is a story about a small neighbor's life. It's a very niche and unpopular story. But isn't there a monster-themed mobile game in China? You've played it before. I was a little interested in it at the time, so I looked it up. Some of the stories are quite interesting."
Lin Xi did remember this, but she only remembered some stories about big monsters, such as the Great Tengu, Shuten-doji, and so on. She really had no impression of Tensha-gui at all.
"Oh...what was the story of the evil ghost that day?"
"There are many stories about Tenxiegui, but the one about Melon Seed Princess is the most famous. Legend has it that a peasant couple, unable to conceive, picked up some melon seeds and, upon cutting them open, revealed a remarkably beautiful young woman skilled in weaving and singing. Tenxiegui, a monster that lives in the mountains behind, is adept at mimicking human voices. He lured Melon Seed Princess there and killed her."
"Some versions of the story end here, but there are also versions in which the evil spirit peels off the skin of Guaziji and pretends to be her, tricking the man into marriage and killing the old couple."
After Shen Sangning's explanation, Lin Xi suddenly realized: "Oh, so this is the story." But a second later, she asked sincerely: "What does this story have to do with our current copy?"
Shen Sangning blinked: "I won't give you any spoilers. This kind of puzzle game is more interesting if you play it yourself."
Lin Xi didn't get angry, instead she chuckled cheerfully: "Alright, I'll make a guess then." Chen Sang Ning's relaxed attitude was actually a way of telling her: It's okay, she's got your back this time, no matter what happens, Lin Xi won't get into any trouble. With Chen Sang Ning's assurance, Lin Xi felt confident enough to play in the dungeon.
[Ahhhh, Ningning is so cute. When can I have a wife like this? ]
Ningning was already so beloved in so many ways that she hadn't told Linxi that there was another version of the story, one in which the Tianxie ghost disguised herself as Guaziji and tricked the old couple into eating her flesh.
I don't understand how this story relates to the dungeon. Can someone explain it to me?
[Other anchors are playing survival games, while Lin Xi is playing puzzle games. Other anchors will be pissed off if they see this.]
Cai Hua, who was off-screen, also held her forehead in her hand. Li Lana gave Cai Hua an expression that said, "Teacher told you to believe me, but you just won't believe it." In reality, Li Lana also felt that Lin Xi would never guess her teacher's intentions. Not only did the teacher find a story, but it was also about the little girl next door.
Cai Hua said, "Lin Xi doesn't understand, but Chen Sang Ning will definitely understand."
Although it was exactly as the teacher expected, Shen Sangning was now playing badly. She was enjoying the process of playing the game and was not very interested in helping Lin Xi pass the level quickly.
This copy was clearly called "This is not a game", but Shen Sangning played this copy as if it were a game.
Lin Xi was racking her brains, pondering Cai Hua's hint. Chen Sang Ning had already explained the origins of this story, and the only thing that caught Lin Xi's attention was the fact that the Tianxie ghost had taken on the skin of Guaziji. In other words, the demon had killed a human, then donned a human's skin, blending in with the crowd in disguise?
Could it be that one of them is fake?
Lin Xi naturally thought of this. She frowned and thought for a while before asking Shen Sangning for confirmation: "Wife, is there a ghost pretending to be one of us players?"
“No.”
Chen Sangning smiled and gave the answer. It was the same thing when they played escape rooms before. When they encountered levels that required some thinking, even though Chen Sangning already knew the answer, they would tease her and make her figure it out on her own. Only when Chen Sangning felt like time was running out would she start speedrunning the game with Lin Xi.
Damn Shen Sang Ning, always teasing her in places like this!
But Lin Xi also enjoyed it, this could only be considered as the interest of the young couple.
After being denied by Shen Sangning, Lin Xi's expression became somewhat distressed. If this was not the case, then what was the situation?
Lin Xi thought for a long time, and Chen Sang Ning reminded her again: "Wife, if you stay in the room for too long, you might become suspicious. The fact that you didn't go downstairs yesterday has already aroused suspicion. If you continue like this, you might be voted out."
Chen Sangning's eyes were full of interest, and she even took the initiative to get into Lin Xi's arms, and then returned to her body. Lin Xi patted her chest: "You are thinking of rushing me at this time, do you like playing this kind of game so much?" Xian Zhufu
Facing Lin Xi's question, Shen Sangning didn't answer, but just smiled. Shen Sangning really enjoyed playing this kind of game that tested her IQ and logic. Because Lin Xi wasn't good at it, and would act coquettishly towards Shen Sangning when she encountered difficulties, Shen Sangning particularly enjoyed it.
In daily life, the two of them help each other, but it's usually Lin Xi who takes care of Chen Sang Ning. Whether it's cooking or housework, it's Lin Xi who does most of the work. Chen Sang Ning offers more emotional value, gently accommodating Lin Xi no matter what setbacks she encounters, but this doesn't manifest in their daily lives.
Even though Chen Sangning was a delicate girl, she still wanted to see her lover rely on her. Lin Xi saw what she was thinking. She herself didn't really like playing this kind of game because she wasn't very good at it. She preferred sports games, whether it was badminton, tennis, or rock climbing. But since Chen Sangning rarely showed her hobbies, Lin Xi certainly wouldn't refuse her face.
So they still played this kind of game occasionally. Lin Xi looked carefree, but she was surprisingly afraid of the dark. In these moments, it was Shen Sangning who led her forward. Just like in the previous instance, in the long, dark corridor of the lecture hall, Lin Xi relied completely on Shen Sangning.
What Shen Sangning is saying now is
That’s right, if she keeps keeping to herself, she might really be voted up.
Lin Xi went downstairs. As expected, most people were on the first floor, except for the two men and women who had a low sense of presence. The woman with a low sense of presence was Miss Fan who had visited Lin Xi in the morning.
Seeing Lin Xi come downstairs and find a place to sit casually, Lawyer Qin thought for a moment before sitting over and began to question Lin Xi in a professional tone: "What were you doing around 1 o'clock last night?"
Lin Xi didn't look at anyone else, but replied, "I was in my room, daydreaming. I was really scared. I was afraid I'd be picked by the Wolves, so I just stared blankly with my eyes open. I was terrified."
Her words made sense, and Lawyer Qin nodded: "So what time do you go to bed?"
"It should be after 4:30. The rules say the Wolves will take action at 4:30. I waited until 4:30 and made sure the Wolves wouldn't come looking for me before I went to bed."
Lawyer Qin nodded again: "You remember the time very clearly."
Lin Xi raised her hand to show her watch to Lawyer Qin: "I'm wearing a watch, so I must remember the time very clearly." Lin Xi felt that her answer should be considered perfect, and Lawyer Qin didn't show any doubt on her face, just nodded to show that she knew. After asking Lin Xi, she comforted her with a few words and revealed the current situation: "I have asked everyone, including you, and only Miss Fan and another gentleman are left. They have been upstairs, and I didn't have a chance to ask them."
The middle-aged woman suddenly came out and said nervously, "Yeah, they're both really weird. They haven't come downstairs yet. And when Xiao Qin said we were going to vote yesterday, they didn't say a word."
The fact that they did not vote was obviously a thorn in Lawyer Qin's heart. When the middle-aged woman brought it up, although Lawyer Qin did not show it on his face, there was a hint of hostility in his tone.
