Chapter 13
How does it feel to do an E-level mission only to activate a D-level mission?
Yu Tu: Thank you for the invitation. It was a terrible experience!
The words "may be life-threatening" kept swaying before his eyes, swaying back and forth, until he felt like he had almost lost the desire to live.
Curiosity kills!
The slightly hot feeling in his eyes had not disappeared yet. Yu Tu endured the strong discomfort and took another look———
Then... he covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from screaming!
Because of the angle before, Yu Tu couldn’t see the face of the corpse in the coffin, but this time, the bride in her wedding dress suddenly raised her head!
It's not the posture of sitting up, but the neck is strangely bent 90 degrees and stands up directly!
Yu Tu: “!!!”
Before he could see clearly, the coffin lid appeared in front of him again. However, this did not make Yu Tu feel safe. Instead, he became even more scared! Sometimes, not being able to see is more terrifying than being able to see!
Knowing that ghosts exist and seeing them with your own eyes are two completely different things!
Two! Number! Things! !
Yu Tu's heart turned into a screaming chicken——
Help! There really is a ghost! ! !
“Boom—”
There seemed to be a slight sound from something in the mourning hall.
"What are you doing!"
Several elderly people drove away the children who were only slightly taller than the knees and were walking around the coffin, saying angrily, "You are not allowed to touch the coffin, understand!"
These children were still too young, with confused eyes. The oldest one stuttered, "No...no..."
“Dong———”
There was another sound.
In the silent atmosphere, the sound was very clear, drawing everyone's attention to the coffin.
"Old Feng... I seemed to hear the sound of a coffin..." An old man standing next to Feng Wei was suspicious, "What did you put in the coffin?"
"I put Congcong's favorite game console in the coffin———" Feng Wei had a face full of wrinkles, and his expression looked very unhappy, "It must be that a child bumped into the coffin just now and knocked the game consoles down."
The parents of those children smiled awkwardly, looking a little uncomfortable. They grabbed their children and apologized with a smile: "Uncle Feng, we are really sorry, the child is too naughty, we will definitely teach him a lesson when we get back!"
Apart from those two sounds, there was no other movement. After the people who came over burned incense, they left one after another.
Yu Tu followed the crowd out of the Feng family's gate. Before he reached his own small building, the phone in his pocket began to vibrate. Yu Tu took out his phone and saw several unread messages———
[Crescent Moon Hanging on a Tree Branch]: How come you suddenly have a D-level mission?
[Crescent Moon Hanging on a Tree]: D-level missions are usually life-threatening, and most freshmen who haven't enrolled yet are unable to handle them, so they are usually handled by special teams.
[Crescent Moon Hanging on a Sparse Paulownia Tree]: "Bloody Wedding Dress" sounds like a ghost-related quest. Tutu, do you want to die?
[Punch the Monster]: I didn't take the D-rank mission on my own initiative. It was triggered passively. There really is something fishy—her neck can be bent to 90 degrees! 90 degrees!
[The crescent moon hangs over the sparse toon tree]: …
[The crescent moon hangs on the sparse toon tree]: Did you see something strange and then became curious?
【Punch the Monster】: ...How do you know?
Gu Hongying on the other side of the screen sighed with a headache. In this group, as long as everyone does not actively show the tasks they accept from each other, they will be kept confidential. However, because the risk factor of D-level and above tasks has increased significantly, and they may even endanger life, there will be an announcement whether they are accepted or triggered.
He was always paying attention to the messages in the group, and naturally saw the big red words scrolling repeatedly at the top of the group:
[The new student Yu Tu has triggered the D-level mission "Blood Wedding Dress".]
[The crescent moon hangs over the sparse toon tree]: How about you check the group?
Yu Tu exited the chat interface and entered the group. The big red words scrolling repeatedly at the top of the group came into view.
Yu Tu: “…”
Why are you still in the group? !
[Punching the Little Monster]: Don’t look at the announcement, let’s talk about the mission orz, I have a bad feeling... She seems to have seen me.
[Crescent Moon Hanging on a Tree]: Don't worry, after the spiritual power in your body is activated, good things may not necessarily come true, but bad things are generally guaranteed. If you think she seems to see you, then she definitely sees you.
Yu Tu: “…”
Doesn't this sound worse?
[Crescent Moon Hanging on a Sparse Tong Tree]: If a D-level mission involves revenge, you will definitely be the next target once the enemy dies. In the eyes of ghosts, people with spiritual power but no ability to resist are almost as good as Tang Monk's flesh painting. So you should book a ticket now and run as far as you can!
[The Crescent Moon Hangs on the Shutong Tree]: Don’t ask me why I know so much. Just book your ticket first and I’ll explain everything to you on the bus!
…
After being "threatened" by Gu Hongying, Yu Tu became even more panicked. He had lived an ordinary life for the past eighteen years, but the experience in the past half month was more exciting than all the previous eighteen years combined!
Yu Tu returned to the small building, packed up briefly, carried a small bag and headed straight for the north station. The town was remote and the only means of transportation was long-distance buses, but this time he went straight to the ticket office but couldn't buy a single ticket.
All the cars had problems, some had broken brakes, some had broken accelerators, and some had doors that couldn't be opened - in short, there was not a single car that could travel long distances today!
Yu Tu: “…”
The most classic scene in horror movies is here. When the means of transport breaks down, doesn’t that mean... the hunting moment is about to begin?
Yu Tu stood there with his bag on his back, like a petrified statue.
Weak, pitiful and helpless, but still a piece of Tang Monk's meat.
Yu Tu waited in the train station until dusk. For some reason, the mechanic took the entire afternoon to fix even the simplest car door.
As it was getting darker, Yu Tu gave up.
He returned to the small building and closed all the doors, from the courtyard gate to the main door. Then he huddled in the corner of the room as if facing a formidable enemy, and stayed up in a daze until midnight... and then fell asleep.
He slept until dawn, the sun shone through the window, and Yu Tu woke up with a dazed look on his face.
Last night was Christmas Eve—it was wonderful!
He jumped up and ran to the ticket office again. This time, Yu Tu bought the ticket smoothly and got on the bus leaving the town.
The car drove out for ten minutes and then stalled.
Yu Tu: “…”
After spending a few nights cramming on the terminology of novels and games, he found an appropriate metaphor. After activating the boss, the free exploration map became a fixed map.
In short, he can't get out now.
You can't afford to offend, but you can't run away either.
Yu Tu could only get off the car and walk back with a few other people. As they returned, the sun gradually hid in the clouds, and the sky turned from sunny to cloudy. The hot summer wind also became a little cool.
At night, Yu Tu sat cross-legged on the bed and sighed heavily.
On Lianxin, Gu Hongying sent a message to comfort him.
[Crescent Moon Hanging on Shutong Tree]: What was activated was a D-level mission, so it's normal that I didn't get away smoothly. I've already reported the D-level mission to the special task force, but because the Phoenix in the inner world left, the energy fluctuations affected the outer world, so they were a little short of manpower, and it will take three or four days to get to the town you are in.
[Punch the Monster]: I hope that when they find me, my body is still intact T—T
[Crescent Moon Hanging on a Tree Branch]: Don't lose heart. Ghosts that can achieve D-level missions have a certain level of consciousness and can communicate. Why don't you try to convince others with virtue?
Yu Tu: “…”
What virtue? Martial virtue?
He sighed, replied "OK", and closed the dialog box.
He recalled the coffin he saw at Feng Wei's house yesterday.
If a dead person is used for a ghost marriage, although it is immoral and against the law, it will never generate enough energy to achieve a D-level mission. The girl who was used for the ghost marriage... was most likely brought here on purpose.
The living are worthy of the dead.
The best years of one's life come to an abrupt end, a life filled with endless possibilities comes to an end, and one is separated from family and friends - how can one not feel a tremendous amount of resentment?
He didn't know when the girl was brought here, but he had a vague feeling that these days were not the most dangerous ones. The dangerous one should be the seventh day.
It will take three or four days for the special team to arrive, hopefully they can arrive before the seventh day.
Professional matters should be left to professionals!
While Yu Tu was thinking about this task, the tablet he threw aside made a specially set vibration sound, which meant that the third chapter of "Speaking of Mountains and Seas" on Comic Website X had been updated!
Yu Tu jumped up, quickly grabbed the tablet, and entered the website skillfully. The cover of the third chapter appeared in front of him—
The background of the cover of the third episode is a giant tree that almost pierces the sky. The sunlight shines through the dense branches and leaves onto the ground, forming spots of light of varying sizes. Under the tree, there is a person sitting in front of an old table and chair. His slender jade-like hands are holding an ancient scroll, revealing half of his handsome profile. A slender golden mirror chain hangs down to his chin, and it seems that he will turn his head at any time to reveal his entire face to the person looking at him.
Comic readers seem to like this a lot—
[What a woman holding a pipa with her face half covered!]
[Who is it? Oh~ It’s my destined wife!]
[Wifey, stick with me!!]
Yu Tu: “…”
The feeling of shame I had when I read the comics before... has come back again!!
Yu Tu was so focused on shame that he didn't notice a pale hand quietly climbing up the window frame on the second floor of the building.
