It was the little girl behind the water tank. Although her body was also transparent, it was more solid than the other ghosts' bodies. She was hiding behind that tree, peeking at them.
"She's calling me over," Su Muye said softly.
Liu Sangua said, "Perhaps this little ghost is some crucial clue."
But as soon as an adult approaches, she disappears...
"Mom, I'm not afraid! I can go!" Su Muyue patted her little chest. "She's very nice, she won't hurt me. I'll be brave like you, Mom. I want to help you!"
Perhaps this is one solution, but Su Deng is not comfortable with him going.
"If there's danger, this can save his life in a critical moment." Liu Sangua put the Bagua jade pendant that he had been playing with in his hand into Su Muye's hand.
"Mommy won't hurt me!" Su Muyue hugged Su Deng and pleaded, "I want to help Mommy, please let me go!"
Su Deng couldn't dissuade him, so she had no choice but to let him go.
Su Muye ran over happily, with Liu Sangua protecting him from the shadows.
Qiao Zhi looked at the other players around him and said, "Everyone else is watching us, waiting to see what we do and learn from us."
Qin Xian rolled his eyes. "A bunch of academic shrewdness."
It can't be said that he's a master of learning.
After all, their team has Liu Sangua and Qiao Zhi, who are both strong and intelligent. Other players believe that following them will save them a lot of trouble.
Su Deng remained silent, only staring in Su Muye's direction.
Su Muye came to the tree, and the short-haired girl, Little Ghost, stretched out her hand to him, innocently asking, "Can you play with me?"
Su Muyue nodded, equally innocent, "What do you want to play?"
The little girl jumped up and down happily, "Let's play hide-and-seek! If you find me, I'll tell you a secret."
Su Muye wrinkled his nose. "Then can you tell me first why you've become like this?"
The little girl tilted her head and said, "My parents locked me up and won't give me food."
Su Muyue was a little angry, "They went too far!"
The little ghost chuckled, "So I locked them up too."
Su Muye exclaimed "Ah," somewhat confused.
"No one has ever played with me before. You're the first. Now that you've found me, I'll tell you all my secrets, hehehe..."
"Why?"
The little girl disappeared after saying that. Su Muye looked around, somewhat confused, and then turned to look at Su Deng and the others in the shadows.
But he still decided to go find it.
The only places to hide nearby are under the trees, behind the house, inside the house, in the bushes, and an uncovered well.
Su Deng gave Liu Sangua a look, and Liu Sangua understood. He then used his perception of souls and similar things, which he had acquired when he was a junior celestial master, to sense the surrounding environment.
Qiao Zhi whispered, "Does this count as helping him cheat?"
Before Su Deng could speak, Qin Xian muttered, "She didn't say we couldn't ask other people for help."
Qiao Zhi: "..."
She felt that Qin Xian sounded like Su Deng when he said those words.
When it comes to exploiting game rule bugs, SuDeng is the best.
Their commotion attracted the attention of other players.
To avoid startling the little girl, Qiao Zhi went over to watch.
A moment later, Liu Sangua opened his eyes and subtly pointed in a direction to Su Muye, "In that jar over there."
This village has wells and rivers, but almost every household has a huge water vat in front of or behind their house.
Some were covered, some were uncovered.
The one Liu Sangua is pointing to is covered, and there's a brick pressing down on the lid of the jar.
Su Muyue walked over, gently lifted the bricks and the lid of the vat, and upon seeing the white figure inside, exclaimed happily, "Found you..."
Before he could finish uttering the word "δΊ†", his face turned deathly pale, and the wooden lid of the jar in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".
Su Deng frowned, about to rush over, when she saw the little ghost float out of the tank, still grinning, "You're amazing, you found me right away!"
The large vat was over a meter tall, and Su Muye could just see inside from the side; it was about half full of water.
In the water, there was a corpse wearing a white dress.
She was huddled up inside, her body twisted and contorted, with only her head above water. Her entire body was submerged and rotting, the murky water reeking of decay, and unidentified white worms wriggling around.
Short black hair floated on the water's surface, and a similarly rotting face was pale and bluish.
But you can tell from the clothes, hair, and face that it looks exactly like that floating ghost girl.
Su Muye looked nervous, "...Is she you...?"
The little ghost glanced back and nodded, "Yes,"
"...Then why did you die here?"
"Because my younger brother wanted to eat my share of cookies, I didn't give them to him."
"..."
Su Muye was young, but he had lived in happiness and love since birth. The biggest blow he had ever experienced was two months ago in the future he was in, when his mother was dying and his father was lying in a coffin in a deep sleep.
Even though Mom doesn't know him now, she still loves him very much.
He didn't understand why things were like this in the village.
"Alright." The little girl seemed indifferent to her own death, smiling brightly as she said, "Now I'm going to tell you the secret!"
"In this village... Ah!!"
Just as the little girl was about to speak, and Su Deng, Qiao Zhi, and the others were all listening intently, several figures suddenly jumped down from the roof.
"It's that little ghost that can trigger the plot!"
"Catch her!"
"Ah! We've been discovered!"
