Chapter 665: Paper Scapegoat
Then came the remaining five players.
Lin Xia was average looking and averagely skilled. The bald man with the gold chain was called Hu Junyuan. He looked like a physical enhancement, but he was a ranged fighter.
It is said that he liked sniper rifles, so he became a sniper.
The young male player in the plaid shirt is Bai Yang, a water elemental mage. He said that he is a fragile player and hopes that everyone can help him and take care of his small body.
Of course, Xiao Jin and others just listened.
Even though they are talking nicely now, who doesn't have some hidden cards?
if you serious you lose!
The remaining two players are interesting, they are actually a couple.
Xiao Jin guessed that these two people must have used team props, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
The male partner Lu Yiming is tall and thin, and the female partner Wang Yuqing is more pretty. From this perspective, the two seem to be quite a match.
It's just that these two people seem a little too nervous.
From the beginning to the end, they were wary of Xiao Jin and others. They didn't speak or chat with them. Especially when they saw Chu Yuan and Lu Jing, they seemed to have encountered some murderous demon.
Whenever the two of them made any move, they would tremble with fear and be startled.
Lu Jing sneered several times.
Chu Yuan, seeing how cowardly they were, rolled his eyes speechlessly and stopped talking to them.
…………
"Okay, now that I've explained everything, we're considered acquaintances!" Chu Yuan waved his hand impatiently, and the scarlet sleeves of his robe blew up a gust of wind.
“Now let’s get down to business!
This weird mission clearly requires us to explore the dungeon information. I thought it was just about attending a wedding, but the housekeeper said we were the groom.
They're all marrying into the bridegroom's family!
Are you really going to "marry" that thing that you don't know whether it's a human or a ghost? My fist is bigger than a bowl, I'm not here to eat gigolos!"
"Living off a gigolo?" Lu Jing sneered, the knuckles of his bone whip making a light crackling sound. "Chu Manzi, with your looks, I'm afraid no one would want you even if you threw yourself at me.
In my opinion, this "marriage" is probably just a way to fill that ghost bride's resentment with our lives! You believe what the system said about "witnessing a happy marriage"? Only idiots believe that.
"Who the hell are you calling an idiot!" Chu Yuan's forehead was bulging with veins and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.
As he said this, he suddenly stood up from the stone bench and took a step forward. The bluestone slabs under his feet instantly groaned under the weight.
It seemed that the powder keg between the two was about to explode again.
Xiao Jin frowned slightly, completely speechless about these two guys who could start a fight at any time.
She turned sideways, her gaze passing over the two men on the verge of a fight, and accurately cast towards Zhan Wenchen on the other side of the corridor: "What do you think?"
Zhan Wenchen pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the dark red of the lanterns, and his calm voice was like ice water extinguishing a spark that was about to ignite: "The information is seriously insufficient.
The rules state 'attending the wedding,' but the specific meaning of 'consummating the wedding' is unclear. However," he paused, his gaze behind his glasses sharp as a knife, "'not looking directly at the bride,' 'not damaging certain items,' 'must return to your room at night'...
These rules themselves are full of strong restrictions and malice. Combined with the background of the dungeon, I am more inclined to believe that "completing the wedding" is not a way to survive, but the last step to the death ceremony.
Destroying it may be the only chance of survival."
A cold light flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes.
Ruining the wedding...just what she wanted.
Instead of passively waiting for the unknown "marriage", it is better to take the initiative and muddy the waters!
Only in this way will more clues surface.
Her voice was cold: "In that case, it would be best to have some 'accident' happen at this wedding before the 'auspicious time' arrives."
Everyone's hearts trembled.
An accident? Creating an accident in this damn place? Sounds like jumping into the gates of hell!
"Tsk! There's no other way. It's better than waiting for the wedding night with the ghost bride!" Chu Yuan was the first to respond. He would rather fight with real swords and guns.
Lu Jing licked his lips, his eyes excited, and he obviously felt that "creating accidents" was much more interesting than being a groom.
Wen Baiqiu seemed lost in thought, but didn't object. Liu Man's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was planning. Lin Xia and the other players looked ashen.
This idea sounds very dangerous.
"That's it for now, we'll split up.
"First, look for clues, then study them and find a breakthrough for the 'accident'!" Chu Yuan said as he stood up and walked into the sticky darkness deep in the corridor.
Lu Jing's figure blended into the shadows like a ghost, while Zhan Wenchen walked towards the strangely dusty yet neatly arranged furniture and examined it carefully.
Wen Baiqiu walked to the other side of the corridor, his steps still calm, as if he was taking a walk in his own garden.
Liu Man hesitated for a moment, but still chose a direction to follow. Her target seemed to be vaguely pointing to the direction where Wen Baiqiu left.
Xiao Jin chose a completely different direction from Wen Baiqiu.
The long sword was hidden under the wide red robe, and A Mo could secretly sense the cold air around him through his sleeves.
Deep within the old house, the silence was even more desolate than in the front yard. The light was almost completely swallowed by the darkness, save for the occasional dim red lantern hanging in the corridor, which cast a dim halo like a dying eye.
The dark red, blood-stained "囍" characters on the wall seemed to come alive in the darkness, twisting and writhing. A faint, almost bloody smell gradually seeped into the sweet, decayed fragrance that permeated the air.
"Swish... swish..." The subtle friction sound was particularly harsh in the dead silence, as if countless nails were scratching the wall.
After searching for a long time, Xiao Jin didn't find anything unusual.
In the entire huge mansion, she didn't see a single servant, let alone the owner.
As for the housekeeper who had thrown them into the side room before, even his figure disappeared!
"what--!"
Suddenly, a short and shrill scream came from the left fork!
This was followed by the dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground and the horrifying sound of a wild beast gnawing on bones!
At the same time, Xiao Jin, who was not far from the fork in the road, was the first to notice something was wrong.
Xiao Jin's eyes glared, and he moved like lightning, instantly rushing towards the source of the sound! The long sword was silently unsheathed, and the cold light tore through the darkness!
At the end of the fork in the road, Bai Yang collapsed on the ground, his face pale and his clothes wet.
On the ground in front of him were scattered a few blood-stained, gray pieces of paper that looked like dead leaves, as well as half an arm.
Xiao Jin saw clearly that there was no blood at the broken arm, but tissue as thin as paper.
It's a paper figure that died in place of someone else.
And on the wall less than three steps away from Bai Yang, a huge, distorted human face made up of countless gray and white shadows was "staring" at him!
The face had no eyes, only two empty black holes, and the mouth was split open, revealing a jagged abyss that roared silently.
Countless scraps of paper scattered across the walls surrounding the human face. The eaten paper substitute had become ineffective. At this moment, the black mist squirmed like a living maggot, attempting to condense once more!
