Chapter 107: The Cave of Sorrow (16) Butcher Li Xing'er
The sobbing was continuous, mournful and sad. Gao Mengtang felt dizzy and felt something was wrong. "We can't stay here for long. Let's give the jade pendant to her and leave."
He quickly placed the black jade pendant in front of Xingzi's tombstone, and a system notification sounded in his ears: "The side quest [Fate] has been completed. The reward will be settled together with the main quest after the main quest is completed."
"The Butcher [Li Xing'er] is about to wake up. Players please be prepared."
The crying sound from the tombstone was as sharp and piercing as a siren, and the tombstone was shaking violently, as if something was about to crawl out from underneath. Gao Mengtang and the other two turned around and ran.
System: "It is detected that players [000 Blind Man] [101 Purifier] [726 Drowned Wrathful Soul] use special items, triggering a hidden plot."
"Do you want to accept the side quest [River of Unjust]?"
Gao Mengtang: “Take it, take it!”
System: "Task accepted successfully."
Side quest [Unjust River] series
Mission 1: Enter Li Xing'er's Secret Realm [Past Events·Reflow]
The three of them had no time to check the task panel because their spirit values were dropping at a terrifying rate. The strange noises behind them became increasingly shrill. When Wei Wei ran away, he looked back and the blood in his body instantly ran cold.
The stone tablet is moving!
Those heavy stones, originally standing in the sparse forest, now floated in the air, rotating around a center. When Wei Wei turned around, a stone tablet immediately rushed towards him.
The stone tablet slowly bulged up, and a human face emerged!
The dark blue stone gradually faded and turned into smooth and translucent skin. The human face lowered his eyes, and the inscription turned into black handwriting, written on his flawless skin.
Wei Wei had seen all kinds of big scenes. Let alone a human face growing on a stone tablet, even if there was a stone tablet growing on a human face, he would not bother to take a second look.
At this moment, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and even stumbled in his attempt to escape.
Isn’t this Gao Mengtang’s face!
"Mr. Blind, you, your face!" Wei Wei was shocked.
Gao Mengtang was running wildly. Hearing this, he quickly touched his face and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Am I disfigured?!"
Wei Wei quickly calmed down and took out his mobile phone to record the incident.
After running more than 500 meters, the stone tablet did not continue to chase. Looking back, the stone tablet that was originally floating in the air had returned to the ground. The scene just now was like an illusion, with no trace to be found.
Gao Mengtang sat on the side of the road, touching his face with great concern: "Wei Wei, please tell me the whole story. What happened to my face? Has it changed? Do I have acne?"
“……” Wei Wei took out the video, slowed it down to watch the details, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The face on the stone tablet was not Gao Mengtang's, but that face was also beautiful. Beautiful women always look alike, and it's easy to make a mistake at first glance. At that time, he was still running at full speed, and the inscription on the face blurred the facial features. It was even easier to make a mistake when he turned around and took a quick look.
Gao Mengtang took out a small mirror and looked at himself in it, but unfortunately he was blind and couldn't see clearly, so he could only worry.
Wei Wei turned off his phone and looked up: "I have never seen you so nervous."
Gao Mengtang: "Am I disfigured?"
Wei Wei: “…No.”
"Huh." Gao Mengtang let out a long sigh.
Pegana couldn't stand it any longer: "You are so conceited!"
"What's wrong with being vain?" Gao Mengtang said confidently. Even though she felt dizzy after running 500 meters, she still wanted to defend her right to love beauty. "I studied art, so of course I love beauty and I hope to be beautiful."
After they came down the mountain, they sat on the steps to rest for a while. The village was quiet at night, with only the occasional barking of dogs. Pegana was talking to the village dogs, so the barking became louder, one after another.
Gao Mengtang checked his status panel and his expression changed: "Wei Wei, Xiao Canglan, how much spirit value do you have left?"
Freesia: "Sang Qiwu!"
Wei Wei: "More than 600, how about you?"
Gao Mengtang: “79.”
Just now, he had been feeling dizzy, and thought it was the crying in the stone tablet that made him uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, it was the side effect of the rapid decrease in mental value.
When he entered the Stele Forest, his spirit value was still 999, but in just a few minutes, it dropped to double digits. The speed at which his spirit value dropped was much faster than that of Xiao Canglan and Wei Wei.
This is so abnormal.
I don't know where the butcher Li Xing'er has respawned. On the way back, I didn't encounter any accidents. When I arrived at the hotel, Gao Mengtang suddenly came to his senses:
"Wei Wei, when you were running away, you shouted 'my face', what happened?"
"I looked back and saw a stone tablet floating over." Wei Wei changed out of his wedding dress and put on a soft bathrobe brought from the dungeon. "I was mistaken. That face is also very handsome. At first glance, they are 70% similar."
Beautiful people are always similar, but ugly people are all ugly in their own way. Since childhood, Gao Mengtang has heard things like "Actor X looks like you here, but he's not as pretty as you", but he doesn't care much.
Gao Mengtang propped up his chin and asked, "Who is prettier, me or him?"
"Of course it's you." Wei Wei said, "But is that the point?"
Gao Mengtang smiled and said, "Yes. A raise."
Wei Wei was speechless at first, but when he saw Gao Mengtang's smile, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Even though he was very familiar with Gao Mengtang and had been seeing this face for three months, he was still amazed by his every frown and smile.
Wei Wei was not a person who paid attention to appearance, but while touching the God of Wealth, he said that Gao Mengtang was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Even the most picky person could not find any flaws in her. She was simply beyond the limits of human beings and her beauty had become a new species.
If someone looks a little ugly, standing next to him, they will look like a caveman.
The pipe burned quietly, and a wisp of white smoke floated silently to the ceiling. Wei Wei was still staring at Gao Mengtang in a daze.
He made a simple deduction in his mind.
It is known that Gao Mengtang is definitely not an ordinary human being.
So, what is that face that is so beautiful as his?
Wei Wei suddenly remembered that he had overheard the conversation between Qin Xishuang and Bo Yao in the water tunnel...
Bo Yao: "Is the evil spirit causing chaos in the dungeon the Ghost Doctor Fairy?"
Qin Xishuang: "You pig-head, what is the Ghost Doctor Immortal's identity? How could He be evil?
Is that the face of the Ghost Doctor? What kind of creature is the Ghost Doctor?
Wei Wei took out his phone and watched the video more carefully. Only a human face appeared on the stone tablet, with no hair and eyes.
His eyebrows are gray.
"Ice-white hair," Wei Wei murmured, "Moon creature..."
Gao Mengtang: "What?"
Wei Wei calmed down and said, "Qin Xishuang got the news in advance that there is a 'real immortal' in the dungeon. That immortal may be a moon creature."
"How do you know?"
Wei Wei: "His beauty surpasses that of humans, and the moon creatures are also beautiful."
Gao Mengtang laughed and said, "That's too careless. I'm also very beautiful. I'm a human being."
Pegana chuckled sarcastically, "The octopus farmer is right. Moon creatures are very beautiful. They are not like us shadow creatures, whose appearance is very random."
The little dog lay on the ground, feeling a little aggrieved.
While chatting, Gao Mengtang clumsily found the shampoo and shower gel and prepared to go into the bathroom. Suddenly, he thought of something and all the bottles and jars in his arms fell onto the table.
"I suddenly thought of something." Gao Mengtang said.
In the side quest [Rebirth] of the previous copy, Bu Xiaoting appeared from the other side of the narrow door. He saw Gao Mengtang and threw him a USB flash drive.
Gao Mengtang was puzzled for a long time. He and Bu Xiaoting were not related at all and had only met once. Why did she throw such an important USB flash drive to him?
Could it be that Bu Xiaoting also recognized the wrong person?
Unfortunately, Gao Mengtang did not bring the USB drive into the dungeon, so he could only keep this question in mind and wait until he cleared the dungeon to solve it. He picked up the bathing supplies and went to the bathroom.
The hotel was equipped with an old-fashioned bathtub, suitable for people like him with limited mobility to take a slow bath.
After putting the water in place, Gao Mengtang made a few bubbles to create an atmosphere, then stepped into the hot water to relax his muscles.
He ran 500 meters today, so he needs to have a good rest.
However, the water today was hot and cold. When Gao Mengtang was applying bath salts, she suddenly touched a pool of ice-cold water.
He stirred the water to make the hot and cold more even and continued to rub the bath salts.
Gradually, he felt something was wrong.
He couldn't see clearly, but his eyes could sense faint light, and he could see a ball of golden light just now. It was the light in the bathroom.
Just a second ago, everything in front of me turned dark and the lights went out.
The wind outside the window became louder, and a flying bird hit the glass and died, leaving a trail of blood.
The edges of the wooden window frames darkened in color, and water oozed out, running along the wall tiles and dripping into the bathtub.
The water grew even colder, condensation forming on the faucet.
Gao Mengtang turned up the heat, but the water was still icy cold. After a few seconds, it started to crackle and ice chips began to come out.
"Is it haunted again?" Gao Mengtang was very depressed and knocked on the faucet. "Can't you come back later? At least let me finish my shower."
It seems that I can't relax properly tonight. Gao Mengtang stepped out of the bathtub and wrapped himself in a bath towel.
A colorless and transparent hand stretched out from the bathtub and grabbed his thigh.
Gao Mengtang felt a creepy chill on his legs. He reached out to touch them, only to feel a ball of cold air.
It's haunted, that's normal.
It seemed that seeing Gao Mengtang was too calm, the system felt it was necessary to increase the show effect, and warned: "The butcher [Li Xing'er] is attacking you. Be careful!"
Gao Mengtang quickly and calmly wrapped himself in his bathrobe and prepared to leave.
The hand holding him gradually changed from transparent to solid, the skin became soft and wrinkled, and turned a dirty green color, and the muscles were swollen. For the first time, Gao Mengtang looked a little flustered.
So stinky.
The stench of a decaying corpse.
The source of the smell was the water in the bathtub. Gao Mengtang wrapped himself in a bath towel and moved closer.
Under the water, a vague human face with buck teeth, protruding mouth, and sausage-like lips that had no aesthetic appeal began to sob.
The sound came out of the water and into the air. The medium changed, and the tone became distorted, weird, sharp and harsh. The ugly mouth opened and closed: "I don't deserve to be a good person."
Gao Mengtang: “Yeah.”
grimace:?
"Because you are a ghost." Gao Mengtang said, "Try to be a good ghost."
He pulled out the plug of the drain, and the cold water in the bathtub gurgled out.
The smell comes from the water. Drain the water and then deal with other things.
The ghost face and the swollen arm were swept into the sewer along with the water, leaving behind only screams of grief and anger.
The stench was finally gone. Gao Mengtang felt relieved.
As for ghosts and such, leave it to Wei Wei to handle.
Wei Wei saw Gao Mengtang coming out, his hair was barely wet, and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Yes, I need to trouble you for a moment," Gao Mengtang said, "The butcher just appeared in the bathroom. Please go check it out."
His tone was so calm and natural, so Wei Wei just said "Oh" calmly and got up to go to the bathroom.
Suddenly, Wei Wei shuddered: "Butcher?"
Why did you say it in such a calm tone!
