"How could this be?"

Wan Jiuqi murmured looking at the black world like splashed ink outside the window, the scalpel he was holding on his fingertips slipped to the ground, obviously he hadn't recovered from the shock of the huge change.

"Miss has been saving my life to look for sacrifices for her because she is afraid of this blood book. I hid the blood book in my crutches, but she still saw through it." The housekeeper stood up blankly, with With remorse, "The blood book left by the master is a curse to the devil. Miss's soul cannot be touched, so I can only use this despicable method to induce you to help her destroy the blood book. If I told the truth earlier, the matter would be more serious." It won’t be what it is now.”

Yan Shaoqing recalled the feeling of disobedience when he saw the suicide note before, and returned to the secret room again, glanced at the suicide note on the table, showing an expression that really did.

He picked up the suicide note, shook off the dust, walked up to Wan Jiuqi, and angrily pressed his face to the other's bandaged face.

"Look carefully again, what is written in this suicide note?"

Wan Jiuqi pulled the suicide note from his face, spread it out in front of him, and looked at it, his eyes suddenly froze.

What was written in this suicide note was completely different from the one he had read before.

[I'm Feng Tianze, the young master of Feng's Manor. Three months ago, my younger sister secretly performed a Gu technique, which caused my father to become seriously ill, which could not be cured for a long time. 】

【The younger sister, under the pretense of curing her father, used the sorcery she got from nowhere to kill the servants in the manor one after another, and sacrificed them to the devil. 】

[The housekeeper accidentally discovered that the servant did not die from the plague. He wanted to reveal the truth, but his sister noticed it and was coerced instead, becoming an accomplice. 】

[The father had a disturbed conscience and wanted to persuade his younger sister to stop, but the frenzied younger sister locked her in a coffin with air holes, locked her in the basement and starved to death, and turned her father's body into a living corpse monster. 】

[My younger sister wanted to sacrifice me to the devil in order to obtain the right to inherit the manor. Fortunately, the housekeeper hid me in a secret room and escaped. 】

【However, the matter was quickly revealed. My sister broke the butler's leg as a warning, and imposed a restraint technique on him, trying to trap me in the secret room. 】

[The younger sister also said that she will sacrifice herself to the devil soon, in order to gain the powerful power of transcending the flesh/body and immortality. 】

[However, the book the steward left in the secret room in advance has allowed us to find a way to restrain my sister's power and completely eliminate her, that is, to restrain resentment with resentment. 】

[When he was dying, his father used his own blood to leave curse words on the white cloth covering his face. It was a curse on the devil and the only item that could restrain the power of the devil. 】

[As long as the housekeeper carries the blood book that curses the devil with him, he can purify himself of the force of the devil that has been forcibly injected into him. After two years, he will definitely get rid of his sister's control and gain a power that rivals her. 】

[At that time, use the blood pine flame to burn my sister's soul, and it will be completely wiped out. 】

[I know that this catastrophe is inevitable, and my life is not long. I hope that those who read this suicide note can help the housekeeper purify my sister's soul infested by demons, so that everything can return to tranquility. 】

Although the handwriting on the suicide note is still neat, there are ink marks scratched from left to right.

"You should have seen the posture of the corpse on the table." Yan Shaoqing said, "When Feng Tianze wrote the suicide note, he held the pen in his left hand, which shows that he is left-handed, and the ink of the pen is not easy to dry. Isn't it strange that there are no traces of it?"

Yan Shaoqing sighed and shook his head, as if he hated iron for being weak.

"It's not the first time you've been fooled by such a simple way of blinding your eyes. Can you be more careful?"

Wan Jiuqi was hit by a hidden weapon, and felt grievances in his heart, so he asked another doubt, "The current situation is not good for the successor camp, shouldn't you be happy?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Yan Shaoqing glanced in the direction of Nangongque, then solemnly scanned the relief sculptures on the surrounding walls that were beginning to move, and said in a deep voice, "I don't think these monsters in the wall, wait a moment When killing people, they will first divide their camps."

Jing Yan Shaoqing reminded that other people's attention was also shifted from the window to the wall. Those human-shaped reliefs slid quickly on the wall like fish swimming in water, and their protruding bodies twisted outwards seemed to break through the water at any time.

"Mom!"

Mu Chenlong lowered his head and flashed a sharp bone claw protruding from the door, and ran to the center of the room in embarrassment.

Countless white corpses wrapped in wall ash emerged from the wall one after another, surrounding the five people in the house from all directions.

Wan Jiuqi shot a white line, shattering the bone closest to him. The bones were scattered on the ground, but they gathered together again in the blink of an eye, and approached the people in the center again without any injuries.

Mu Chenlong and Nangong Que also took out their weapons one after another, and attacked the slow-moving and pressing bones, but no matter what damage they caused to the bones, the bones stood intact in front of them in the next second.

Only Yan Shaoqing, a newcomer, entered the game for the first time without any weapons. Being unarmed, he naturally lived firmly in the center of the safe area, but this safe area was constantly shrinking.

The butler glanced at the weak figure in the center, rekindled his fighting spirit, picked up the crutch that Wan Jiuqi had abandoned on the ground, and stood in front of Yan Shaoqing.

Ryan stayed by Yan Shaoqing's side all the time, looking deeply at the wall ghouls around him.

"Why can't these monsters be killed?"

Mu Chenlong backed away in horror, his body was already covered with many scars from the sharp claws, bleeding profusely, if his physical fitness was not higher than ordinary people, he would have collapsed by now.

"It's useless to attack these monsters directly." Yan Shaoqing said thoughtfully, "I think their bodies should be ashes stored in the lampshades with hexagrams in the hall on the first floor. If all the lampshades with six-pointed stars are smashed, these monsters should be wiped out."

"Rush out?" Wan Jiuqi glanced at the piles of white bones that stretched out the doorway for several meters, densely packed, like a sea of ​​white, "I'm afraid it's impossible now."

Even if they can temporarily smash one or two monsters with their weapons and rush out a little distance, after those monsters are revived with full blood, they will surround them from all directions, and there is no possibility of resistance at that time, leaving only a dead end.

"There is no hope, we are all dead."

Mu Chenlong's tone was extremely desperate, his arms gradually dropped, his knees softened and he half knelt on the ground, and even the last trace of will to resist was about to be lost.

"Cheer up." Yan Shaoqing yelled at Mu Chenlong, who was about to die, and stepped forward to slap him on the unswollen face, "I can't give up my life until the last moment. It's an order!"

Although Yan Shaoqing is protected by the passive skill "Father of NPC", he will be the last to be attacked by ghosts, but if all other players die, he will still finish the game.

Despair is contagious like a plague. As long as one more person lives, he will have more security.

Mu Chenlong was awakened by the sudden slap, and suddenly recovered, he sideways avoided the fatal blow to the carotid artery.

The other side of his face knew how painful Yan Shaoqing's slap could be, but this time the other party was obviously merciful, as gentle as a caress, like a feather gently tugging at the heartstrings.

In the escape game, all players are running for their lives and can't take care of themselves, and no one cares about the lives of others.

He never dreamed that the person he had helped White Rose design and tried to humiliate with an unfair duel, was the one who cared most about his safety at the last moment of his death.

Although his little tricks ended in failure every time, but how many people can do it regardless of past suspicions?

Such a powerful and kind-hearted person allowed him to see the last ray of light in this desperate time. This cheap master who was tied to him because of the system agreement, although his face was extremely ugly, his heart was like a beautiful jade.

Mu Chenlong couldn't help but glanced sideways, moved. Although it was a cosmetic face made with buffs in the game, if it didn't contain any preconceived prejudices, it would indeed be dazzlingly beautiful.

Yan Shaoqing slapped him down and noticed that Mu Chenlong gave him a sad look with tears in his eyes.

Although there are many wall ghouls around, they did not trigger the instant death attack. Mu Chenlong has a high physical fitness, and he can't lose much health if he receives some non-fatal scratches. To delay him for some time is to suffer for himself, and it is no wonder that he complains so much.

Nangong Que could have used the secret summon to get away, perhaps because he didn't want his skills to be known, and he used weapons to resist the attack of the wall ghoul like everyone else, but he seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

"Lend me a cane."

Yan Shaoqing ran to the housekeeper, grabbed the crutches before the other party could react, and worriedly told everyone in the room, "I'm going to smash the lamp in the hall, you hold on, don't die."

He was really worried about the safety of Wan Jiuqi and Mu Chenlong, the two meat shields. As for Nangongque, the only player who can be sure to survive, it is hard to say whether he is really an ordinary player.

Under the gazes of everyone who were either shocked or panicked, Yan Shaoqing rushed towards the group of bones at the door.

He raised his crutches and swung them towards the wall ghouls blocking the way. However, before the crutches touched the wall ghouls, those monsters turned sideways to avoid the distance, and naturally gave way to a single pass. path of.

Even if they are not afraid of hurting Dad, they should also worry about the ancestor who is next to Dad.

The audience in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded.

[Strange, why do these ghosts seem to be afraid of him? 】

[The brother who said that he would die next time the ghost attacked if he pulled the hatred value, does his face hurt now? 】

After Yan Shaoqing passed by, the road closed in an instant, engulfing that thin figure in the white bone sea, and no ripples could be seen anymore.

"The newcomer is still too impulsive." Wan Jiuqi shook his head dully, his voice was a little more regrettable, and his tone was solemn, "The little white mouse will not come back again."

Obviously, these monsters can not only be reborn, but their intelligence is also constantly evolving. Now they have learned to dodge attacks, and know how to use tricks to retreat to separate the players with the lowest attack power so that they can be defeated one by one.

Even he, an old player, didn't have the courage to rush directly into the pile of bones. That newcomer who had no strength to restrain a chicken actually did it. It was really stupid and reckless but it had to be shocking.

What's even more stupid is that he is still worried about the safety of other people in the house even though he is in great danger. How long has he not seen such a fool in the game?

The newcomer must die outside, maybe not far from them, torn apart by monsters, leaving no bones, and they are destined to die in this room.

After entering the escape game, it was the first time in history that Wan Jiuqi expected to see a living person more than a cold corpse.

Hanging the halo of the father of NPC, the ghosts all the way to the green light, Yan Shaoqing arrived at the lobby on the first floor easily and unscathed.

There are a lot of lampshades with hexagrams printed on them. At a glance, there are more than 60 lampshades. It will take a long time. I just hope that other players will fight for their anger and not die too quickly, at least until he smashes all these lamps.

Yan Shaoqing raised his crutches, and smashed the pointed hook at the nearest crystal lampshade with all his strength.

"Whoa!"

With the sound of glass shattering, transparent crystal shards and white ashes fell to the ground like a blizzard.

When the white ash fell to the ground, it condensed together automatically, turning into a hard white bone with a waxy luster.

Yan Shaoqing glanced excitedly at the human bone fragments on the ground, and eagerly shouted to the man next to him: "Lian, don't stand there stupidly, pick up your favorite bone!"

He was busy smashing lamps, racing against time, so he didn't have time to pick up dog bones. Now is the time for Ryan, a loyal dog, to shine.

Ryan glanced at the bones on the ground in a vague way, without bending over, just moved his two fingers slightly, and the human bone fragments floated up by themselves and fell into his palm.

"A chicken with such a weak attribute can fetch things from a distance, you are really a potential stock, the S-level lottery is not wasted!"

Yan Shaoqing exclaimed, and continued to smash the other lampshades with all his strength.

When all the lampshades with the hexagrams printed on them were smashed, Ryan also held a handful of human bone fragments in his outstretched hands.

Yan Shaoqing took the fragments from Ryan and stored them in the system space, and the prompt sounded immediately.

[Congratulations to the player for collecting 62 human bone fragments, please continue to work hard. 】

[Task progress: 63/66]

After collecting more than 60 pieces of bones at one time, Yan Shaoqing was overjoyed when he saw the success. He stretched out his hand and touched the top of Ryan's head lightly. The soft black hair touched the palm of his hand, exchanging the temperature with each other.

Ryan's eyes were slightly fixed, and he didn't dodge, letting the people in front of him excitedly rub his forehead hair into a lion with fried fur.

"Well done, Ryan, I really like you more and more." Yan Shaoqing's eyes sparkled, he was in a great mood, and he couldn't help but praise Ryan a few more words, "Every time I see you, I can't help but think of the past. The poodle I raised was really kind.”

Ryan was in the right mood, but he was not satisfied with the second compliment. He frowned and said in a low voice, "I don't like being compared with dogs."

"What a dog, it's as loyal as you to protect the Lord." Yan Shaoqing withdrew his hand and blinked incomprehensibly. He likes dogs anyway, "It's also fortunate that I was lucky enough to draw you. An unfaithful guardian spirit, thinking of plotting against me every day, is not as good as a dog."

"You're done, it's time to go back."

Yan Shaoqing turned around and looked at the tragic results scattered all over the place with satisfaction, but he didn't notice the gloom in Ryan's eyes.

When it comes to the mood of Wan Jiuqi and Mu Chenlong, they are so confused that the rest of their lives have not been relieved for a long time.

Surrounded by ghouls, they thought they were doomed, but just when their physical strength was about to be exhausted, they unexpectedly fell to the ground one after another, turning into dust.

But in just a few minutes, they all disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

What made them even more unbelievable was that Yan Shaoqing also came back a minute later, unscathed.

Only now did Wan Jiuqi realize that this person dared to break into the monster center alone not only because of his bravery, but also because of his powerful strength that matched his bravery. It was his preconceived notion that he had miscalculated a newcomer.

Liu Kaiyan and Bai Meigui, two veteran players with good strength, died unexpectedly one after another. It wasn't bad luck, there was a reason for that.

When Yan Shaoqing came back, he found that both Mu Chenlong and Wan Jiuqi looked at him strangely, especially Mu Chenlong, whose cheeks were still a little red, probably because of his heavy slap .

"Are you OK?"

Mu Chenlong blushed and asked stammeringly, it was the first time he said something about caring for others, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Yan Shaoqing thought for a while, then glanced into the secret room, "There is really something wrong."

"Is something wrong?"

Mu Chenlong couldn't help but feel a little more worried. If such a strong person said something was wrong, then something really happened, and it couldn't be seen from the outside at all. It must be an internal injury. Coupled with the slightly serious expression, it seems that the injury is still serious. Not light.

Yan Shaoqing noticed Mu Chenlong's changing expression, as for what, it's just a small matter, so worried.

"Help me drag the skeleton in the secret room to the basement." Yan Shaoqing said, "Then pile up some blood pine and set it on fire."

It turned out to be something like this.

Mu Chenlong heaved a sigh of relief, rolled up his sleeves and was about to do it, but the housekeeper stepped forward to block the door.

"Why did you burn the young master's bones?" the butler asked in surprise.

"What if the ghost doesn't burn the bones, what if the female ghost comes back and turns him into a murderous monster?" Yan Shaoqing's eyes were worried, and there was a bit of sympathy in his tone, "He's the only one in this manor who hasn't been touched. The person who has blood, let him rest in peace, don't be harmed again."

Of course, Yan Shaoqing's main purpose of burning this corpse was to collect human bone fragments.

The housekeeper pondered for a moment, stepped out of the way, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, it's time."

Mu Chenlong moved Feng Tianze's body to the basement and burned it to ashes with a blood pine flame.

Sure enough, Yan Shaoqing found the 64th human bone fragment among the remaining ashes.

Although the crisis is temporarily lifted, the owner of the manor who has regained his strength will never let it go, and will make a comeback at any time and secretly kill them.

"Now there are only two ways to completely eliminate Miss's resentful soul."

The butler stood in the center of the room, holding a cane in both hands, with a solemn and solemn expression.

"The first method is to find another cursed blood book hidden in the mansion, which was left by the lady before she sacrificed herself. The blood in it comes from every victim of the lady's sacrifice, and it brings together everyone's resentment , is also the medium through which she obtains the power of the devil. As long as the blood book is burned, the young lady will lose the protection of the power of the devil, and she will naturally lose her soul."

"However, this method takes a very long time and has a low success rate. I searched the mansion for two full years, searched all the places I could, and found no trace of the cursed blood book."

"The second method is to temporarily trap the young lady's resentful soul with the evil spirit locking array, and then burn it with blood pine wood. This method requires two things. One is blood pine."

The butler looked out the window and frowned deeply, "But it's as dark as night outside now, entering the pine forest rashly may be life-threatening."

"Don't worry about the pine wood. I asked Mu Chenlong to cut a lot in the morning and piled them up in the warehouse." Yan Shaoqing scratched the tip of his nose and continued with some embarrassment, "It's just that I took the ashes of the female ghost from the lamp. buried in a grave somewhere among the pines."

So after all, we still have to enter the pine forest, and it seems that digging graves is more terrifying than cutting down trees.

"When did you ask Mu Chenlong to chop the pine logs, why didn't I know?"

Ryan has been by Yan Shaoqing's side all the time, so he knows Yan Shaoqing's every move like the palm of his hand, except that he lost contact briefly when he was in the field of science, but it was only 5 minutes.

"Didn't I win the duel with him when I was in the field of science?" Yan Shaoqing showed off to Ryan with some pride, "In order to teach him a hard lesson, so I sent him to be a coolie. He chopped down an entire warehouse of pine logs. Not to mention the female ghost who cries every day, even the ancient demon hiding behind the scenes like a turtle is enough to burn him to ashes. Who would have thought that it would really come in handy now? It's useful, how good it is."

"very good."

Ryan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, obviously complimenting him, but he always felt that the other party's smile had a strange and evil charm. A fool with an intelligence value of 25 smiled differently from a normal person.

"Then do you remember which grave it was buried in?" the housekeeper said with some concern, "Never mind the danger, there are many and messy graves, especially at night, it is even more difficult to distinguish."

"Don't bother." Nangong Que, who had been leaning against the window like an outsider, suddenly made a sound, took out an iron tea pot from the system space, and said with a smile, "The ashes of the female ghost are in my hands."

Yan Shaoqing was slightly stunned, and took a closer look. There was really "High Quality Pu'er" printed on the jar.

"Isn't that the tea that I asked you to bury yesterday?" Yan Shaoqing paused, and suddenly realized, "No wonder it's all buried in the ground, that female ghost was still crying by my bed at night, so you dug it out again gone."

Nangongque held the jar with one hand and raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, without denying it.

"It's up to now, everyone should be open and honest." Nangong Quetan pointed at Yan Shaoqing, and said frankly, "We do belong to the camp of demon believers, and one of the tasks is to obtain the cursed blood book that gathers resentment, so as long as you don't With the idea of ​​burning the blood book, there will be no conflict in our tasks, and we can consider cooperation. Without the hindrance of the female ghost, it will be much easier for us to find the blood book."

Both Mu Chenlong and Wan Jiuqi were wary of Nangong Que, an old fritter, and subconsciously glanced in Yan Shaoqing's direction.

Although they are in different camps, after experiencing the siege of ghosts and dangers, they have an inexplicable trust in this enigmatic newcomer.

Yan Shaoqing nodded, as if he approved what Nangongque said.

After all, eliminating the owner of the manor is the main task of the successor camp, and Mu Chenlong and Wan Jiuqi no longer have any doubts, and agreed to this cooperation proposal.

"Then we will use the second method." The housekeeper said in a deep voice, "I will draw a soul-locking array of good and evil spirits in the hall, and put the ashes in the center of the array to lure the lady. In addition, three people need to stand at the center of the array Come on, hold a candle. Once the young lady enters the soul-locking formation, light the candle immediately, as long as the candlelight does not go out, the young lady will be trapped in the formation."

"Cinnabar is used to draw the evil spirit lock and soul array, and the candles are also ordinary white wax, but the blood pine wood should be kept in the warehouse, and you can get it after the lady is trapped. Ghosts are sensitive to the smell of blood pine. If the lady detects the evil spirit There is blood pine in the Soul Locking Formation, so I will definitely not be fooled."

"Miss is very wary of me, so the person guarding the center of the formation cannot be me, it must be three of you. Moreover, the more murderous the person standing in the center of the formation, the better, so that the woman can be restrained." The evil spirit of a ghost."

"Then I'll choose to carry firewood." Yan Shaoqing raised his hands to recommend himself, and said with a little regret, "I've never even killed a chicken, let alone any murderous intent. My physical fitness is not bad, so I can carry some firewood." Surely no problem."

The butler nodded, "That's fine, after all, it's dangerous for those who defend the formation to counter the young lady's evil spirit."

After arranging the division of labor, the housekeeper quickly found Zhu Sha and drew a hidden magic circle under the carpet in the hall.

After drawing the magic circle, the housekeeper gave each of Mu Chenlong, Wan Jiuqi and Nangongque a piece of white wax and a charm that can make them invisible in front of ghosts for a short time, and finally put the tea pot containing the ashes of the female ghost on the The center of the magic circle.

Yan Shaoqing and the housekeeper hid near the warehouse, wearing true love earphones. Once Nangong Que succeeded, he would be notified through the true love earphones, and he and the housekeeper would move the blood pine wood there.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Yan Shaoqing smelled a faint fragrance of lilies. Sure enough, within a few seconds, Nangong sparrow sent him a message.

"The female ghost has been trapped in the evil spirit lock formation, but she resisted fiercely." Nangong Que's voice was hurried, with a slightly tired tone, "Hurry up, we can only last for 2 minutes at most.

"Hold on, it'll be fine soon."

Yan Shaoqing replied immediately, and his movements were unambiguous. He was the first to rush into the warehouse, attacking with his left and right hands at the same time, and found a few thin firewood from a firewood pile in the room, held them in his arms, and rushed out just in time to enter the door. The butler passed by.

The butler glanced casually, the firewood that Yan Shaoqing held in his arms was as thin as a finger, and there were really only a handful of them.

"I'm not strong enough to get a little bit." Yan Shaoqing said apologetically, "Just feel wronged and get more."

The housekeeper nodded with heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he didn't dislike his weak teammate at all. He walked into the warehouse, picked up a pile of firewood half a person's height with ease, turned around and was about to leave, but heard a loud "bang".

The iron door was closed, and there was a sound of locking outside the door.

Through the small window above the iron door, the housekeeper clearly saw the person standing outside the door.

"What are you doing?"

The butler put down the blood pine wood, and walked to the door with doubts on his face, staring at the other pair of smiling pupils behind the iron railing through the small window with puzzled eyes.

"I don't think there is any need to move." Yan Shaoqing raised the corners of his lips, and said lightly, "This house of blood pine is yours now."
