Chapter 99 Rat Killing 7
Yu Ke came out of Li Changjin's house and sighed.
Yu Xiuming brought Li Changjin back to the bureau, saying that he would interrogate him personally, and presumably he would use props.
Before leaving, he explained the current situation clearly to Yu Ke.
It is now certain that this series of massacres is related to a strange disease, but the source of the disease is still unknown.
How did the three criminals contract the disease, where did they get it, and is the disease contagious?
If these issues are not clarified, the number of family murders in the town will continue to increase, and the death toll will sooner or later exceed thirty people.
The main quest doesn't have a time limit, so it's impossible for the player to protect the town residents for their entire lives, right?
Therefore, Yu Xiuming guessed that he had to completely solve the root cause of the strange disease before he could pass the copy.
Yu Ke nodded her head to show that she understood.
And I think what he said makes a lot of sense.
Seeing that she understood, Yu Xiuming gave her a task and left.
She then visited the town to investigate and asked residents if anything strange had happened recently.
No matter what it is, if there is something a little bit wrong, collect it all.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, she went back to the police station to gather and sort out the clues with Yu Xiuming.
Looking at the things that System 5488 had listed for her to do, Xiao Piaoliang took the first step with confidence.
However, as soon as she raised her head, she saw a familiar figure appearing a few steps ahead - a white-faced man holding a bouquet of death flowers.
He looked at Li Changjin's house quietly, with dead silence in his eyes.
People came and went around him, and no one noticed him, but when they passed by him, they unconsciously walked around him.
The first two times Yu Ke saw him were once at dusk when the setting sun was as red as blood, and once in the middle of the night when it was raining heavily.
Every time the timing was wrong, she felt great fear of him.
But this time it's different.
She looked up at the bright sun in the sky, feeling the righteous energy that filled the entire world, and the fear in her heart gradually dried up.
In broad daylight, evil spirits cannot invade!
…Having said that, her two slender white legs couldn’t take another step for a long time.
Little Piaoliang asked System 5488 timidly: [If I go there in broad daylight, will I be able to escape in time? 】
In fact, if possible, she didn't want to take the initiative to find this weird man.
But she had a hunch that this man was a key figure...
System 5488 encouraged her: [This person doesn't look like a player, he can only be an NPC. Take out the paper of the Supreme God, there is no NPC that won't be afraid! 】
When Yu Ke thought of the piece of paper, her face wrinkled. It was really hard for her to convince herself to rush forward.
While she was hesitating and struggling, the man looked at her.
Meeting those eyes that were as bottomless as the abyss, Yu Ke's body froze and she instinctively wanted to escape.
System 5488 hastily dissuaded: [Mission! Think about the mission! You believe me! 】
It detected that the man had no intention of killing her, but it couldn't say that out loud, or the main system would put it in a dark room.
Yu Ke used up the last bit of her courage to force herself to stand still.
As the man got closer, her head lowered.
It wasn't until she saw a pair of black boots that she realized the man was standing in front of her.
She was so nervous that her mind went blank. She asked System 5488 helplessly: [What should I ask him? 】
System 5488: [……] It can’t tell you that!
Unable to seek help, Xiao Piaoliang could only think hard on her own.
...How about we have a little chat first?
She was wondering if it would be a good idea to introduce herself first when the man spoke.
"I found you."
Yu Ke:?
This can't be talking about her, right?
But the man sounded quite calm, which made her a little braver and she looked up at him.
The expression on the man's face was very gentle at this moment, and two little images of her were reflected in his eyes.
Unlike his previous strange appearance that showed no popularity at all, he now looks very much like a normal human being.
This made Yu Ke completely relax, and her stiff shoulders became soft again.
She was about to follow up on the man's question when suddenly there was a noise nearby, which instantly drew her attention.
I saw a group of people surrounding a wealthy old man and pointing at Li Changjin's house.
"It must be the work of evil spirits! Changjin used to be such a good child!"
"That's right! Mr. Zhang, look, this is the third one in just two days!"
Yu Ke pricked up her ears and listened, and she probably understood what was said.
This wealthy old man should be a respected elder in the town. The people in the town think that he is knowledgeable and want him to invite a reliable master to perform an exorcism ceremony in the town.
Yu Ke was a little skeptical. Could there really be a reliable master in the copy?
But this group of people was not important for the moment, so she quickly turned her head back and wanted to continue talking to the man.
However, in less than half a minute, the man disappeared without a trace.
She opened her eyes wide and looked around, but still found nothing.
Yu Ke: “…”
Why does it appear and disappear suddenly every time?
One minute trial card?
She puffed up her face in anger, but then she received a system notification that her personal mission had been refreshed:
[Personal mission: Yes, you have a husband. But there is still one last step to complete your wedding. Go find him and finalize your marriage! 】
Yu Ke:……?
She was shocked and asked System 5488: [I am married? 】
System 5488 struggled to help her find the relevant information in the lengthy identity introduction that came with it.
[Your identity in this world was that you were weak and sickly when you were a child. In order for you to grow up healthily, your elders arranged a... ghost marriage for you! ? 】
Yu Ke just accepted a new round of critical attacks.
Ghost, ghost marriage?
Is that what she meant...?
System 5488 confirmed her idea.
Yes, it's just what you think.
Not only do you have a husband, your husband is not even a human being.
The pretty girl's lips trembled, and she immediately gave up this personal mission without any hesitation.
Dead, dead husband, she should stop disturbing his sleep...
System 5488 nodded in agreement. Why hold a wedding when your husband has already died?
It took a while for Yu Ke to finally accept her new identity as a widow and get herself together to complete her task.
It just so happened that the group of people next to us hadn't left yet, so it was better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early, so they were the ones.
She carefully picked out a kind-looking older sister from the crowd, put on a sweet smile, and walked over to chat with her.
The eldest sister was immersed in the passionate atmosphere of "down with demons and monsters" when she was suddenly patted from behind and turned her head away impatiently.
