Chapter 35: Lazer Manor 14
Although Sal's tone was not good, Yu Ke still went over happily.
After all, she was the one asking for help.
She took out the photo album, opened it, handed it to Sal, and carefully asked him if there were any photos of Ola's family in it.
Although the brown-haired boy looked bad-tempered, he took the thick photo album and started flipping through it page by page.
He flipped through the album with a sour face, "No."
"Yeah, thank you." Yu Ke was satisfied when she knew the result, because her task was just to confirm whether Aura's family was in the photo album.
Then the room fell into silence again.
Usually Damian was responsible for livening up the atmosphere and chatting with Yu Ke, but today he was obviously not in the mood.
Not even snacks and milk tea were prepared.
In this difficult atmosphere, Yu Ke stammered and tried to say something to start the conversation, but Xiao Piaoliang, who had low emotional intelligence, couldn't think of anything to say.
Being humorous and witty is a kind of talent. She obviously does not have this talent and can only suffer in silence.
Yu Ke consulted the system for countermeasures: [What should I do? 】
System 5488: [Hmm...]
In fact, it really wanted to say that if she went up and gave each of them a kiss, everything would probably be solved.
But can it suggest that players should sell themselves? Of course not.
If it is detected by the main system, it will be locked up in a small dark room.
Yu Ke sighed.
Sal also felt the tension, but he was not good at being humorous either. He held back for a long time before finally saying, "Aren't you going to class yet?"
Yu Ke: “…”
She wanted to cry but had no tears, and thought it would be better to remain quiet.
The little beauty, who was forced to do something, looked around the study, picked up a book at random, and decided to start reading to them.
She can't teach, but she can study.
Her voice is sweet and her pronunciation is soft, which makes people feel comfortable when listening to her reading.
Neither Damian nor Sal refused and just let her read on.
As Yu Ke read, she felt a little tired. Her throat was dry from talking for a long time, and she couldn't help but stop.
She quietly put the book down and glanced at the two of them. She was surprised to find that Damian and Sal had both closed their eyes.
Is this sleeping?
...In that case, she's going to run away.
Xiao Piaoliang, who didn't want to continue studying, took this opportunity to leave the study room. She was so excited that she didn't notice that the two students behind her had opened their eyes at some point.
His eyes were filled with suppressed resentment and...jealousy.

In the kitchen, Yu Ke reported to Xiao Shiqiao as usual that the task was successfully completed, and then returned the hot death album again.
Xiao Shiqiao held her hand and praised her for a long time before finally taking the photo album back.
Qi Jing and Wen Yong were late for lunch this time, and they both looked unhappy when they came in.
Xiao Shiqiao saw this and took out the clue she had found - a newspaper.
The newspaper recorded that there was a plague in this place some time ago, and many people died.
Xiao Shiqiao: "I found this in the storage room, the room on the second floor where the noise was heard yesterday."
She guessed that Ola's family might have died in this plague.
It was Qi Jing and Wen Yongzheng's turn. They looked at each other and Wen Yongzheng motioned for Qi Jing to speak.
The two of them went to explore the woods together and finally made a discovery this morning, but this discovery really made them unable to be happy.
Qi Jing frowned and said, "We found a cemetery in the woods. There are seven tombstones in total, and engraved on them are... our names."
There are seven tombstones with the names of seven players engraved on them, and not a single one is missing.
"And we checked when we came back," Qi Jing's voice lowered as he spoke, "Guan Peng's body was gone."
Everyone looked stunned.
After Guan Peng died, there was no place to put his body, and it was not inhumane to dump it in the wild, so everyone put the body back in Guan Peng's room.
Of course, they didn't want to be so close to the corpse, but firstly, they didn't have the keys to the other rooms. Secondly, if they put it in other rooms, it would be considered as not being cleaned properly and would not pass the test of the Jaffa housekeeper.
There was no other choice but to put it in Guan Peng’s room.
But now the body is gone! ?
Thinking about the seven tombstones again, it’s hard not to feel that this is not a cemetery prepared in advance for the players.
No wonder Qi Jing and Wen Yongzheng looked unhappy when they came back. Now that they know the news, none of the players can keep a good expression.
Qi Jing: "Brother Wen and I are going to dig up Guan Peng's grave this afternoon."
Otherwise, everything is just their own speculation, and they must get conclusive evidence.
Besides this, there is one more thing——
Qi Jingxin bought a prop that looked like a small mirror.
This item can communicate between the Yin and Yang worlds and can be used three times, each time lasting for one minute within a range of five meters.
With this prop, players can communicate with the invisible and intangible Aura family.
As long as we can get in touch, we can always get some new clues.
Others also agreed with Qi Jing's idea and thought that they could try using this prop to speed up the progress.
However, how to use this prop remains a problem.
After all, the players can't see the Aura family, and the manor is so big, how can they ensure that they can use the props within five meters of the Aura family?
Everyone looked at Yu Ke again.
Because according to what she said before, Thrall can see Aura directly, so can she ask Thrall to help point her in a direction?
Yu Ke pursed her lips nervously at the look of everyone's expectation, feeling a lot of pressure.
She might have thought it was okay before today, but Damian and Sal's moods were clearly not right this morning, and she had no confidence at all now.
She stammered as she explained it to the players.
Everyone was a little disappointed but also understanding, so they immediately went to the mall to see if they could find suitable props to assist.
Yu Ke felt a little strange after hearing this, "Find the props yourself?"
Xiao Shiqiao was multitasking, looking through the list of props while complaining: "Yeah, this game is not smart at all, it doesn't categorize you, it just throws everything in there, every time I want to buy a prop I have to look for it for a long time."
If she didn't have only one life, she really didn't want to buy props here.
Xiao Piaoliang, who has never browsed the mall by herself: Huh?
She hesitantly reminded: "...Have you ever tried to ask the system for help?"
Xiao Shiqiao became even angrier when she said this. She raised her fist and waved it twice. "My system doesn't even bother with me! It's like an alarm clock. It beeps once when a task is sent and once when a task is settled!"
Too cool!
The other players nodded in agreement.
Yu Ke: Hmm? ? ?
