46: Chapter 46: The Mystery of the Old House (Part 20)

Qian Ye guessed that the description above was likely connected to what Uncle Bai had said.

However, the story told here was about the man approaching the woman first, and in the end, the two fell into a cycle of love and mutual destruction, which was exactly the opposite of what Uncle Bai had said.

Truth and falsehood, each side held its own story.

Qian Ye curled her lips. If she wanted to know the truth, it would be much more interesting to hear it from the person concerned.

The aura around the big boss changed, and Hu Tao felt that she was up to something, her whole body exuding a sense of malice.

"Let's go, let's head back first." This seal could not be undone for the time being.

"Giggle, giggle~ Since you've come, why leave?"

"I am so lonely, stay and keep me company."

The next instant, several charred, withered vines suddenly extended from all around, shooting towards the two at high speed. Qian Ye did not move at all.

"As fellow women, I want to make a deal with you." The withered vines stopped one centimeter from Qian Ye, waiting for the next command.

"Hehehe, what do you have that is worth trading with me?"

The female voice in the void was extremely arrogant and disdainful. Qian Ye curled her lips in a smile. "To show my sincerity, the deal can be discussed after your seal is removed."

"You actually know about the seal! What is your relationship with Jin Mansion?" The voice changed abruptly, carrying a hint of ruthlessness.

"I just want to help you." Qian Ye's eyes were clear, and her tone was full of sincerity.

"Why?"

"Of course, it's because of our similar experiences."

"I hate Jin Mansion, I hate them to the core; they are all a bunch of hypocritical villains."

Qian Ye began to recount, with great emotion and deep sorrow, the story of how she fell in love with the young master of Jin Mansion. Now that they were close to marriage, she discovered that he was having an ambiguous relationship with another woman, and they had even pledged their lives to each other in secret.

"Then what about me? You promised to marry me, and this is how you treat me—by making me watch you get intimate with another woman?" Speaking to the end, her whole person was filled with a look of madness.

Hu Tao, who was on the side, "..." He dared not speak, dared not move.

If he wasn't mistaken, this seemed to be the love story of the NPC Wu Yan and Desolate Wind.

If it weren't for the fact that he had discovered the third party with her, he would have almost been moved to tears by her story.

"There are still descendants of Jin Mansion!" The female voice in the void was extremely angry, and the entire space was filled with a violent aura.

At the main entrance, Hu Tao looked at Qian Ye with an indescribable expression. How could he have expected this NPC to be so easy to fool?

She believed it after just a simple story.

"Big boss, is this really okay?"

Hu Tao was worried; the big boss was actually making a deal with a dungeon villain.

"You think she believed it?" A faint smile hung on the corners of Qian Ye's mouth.

It was just because of her absolute confidence in her own strength.

Having a tool person willing to undo the seal for her, what's wrong with that?

She was naturally willing.

For her, there wouldn't be any extra loss.

Hu Tao wasn't stupid; once reminded like this, he naturally understood the deeper meaning.

Thinking of the other players still slowly starting at the starting line, this one was already close to clearing the level.

She was about to release the final big boss.

"But how should this seal be undone?"

If it were easy to undo, it wouldn't have waited so long.

Looking at the blood in that blood pool, he didn't know how many players had died before.

Qian Ye smiled slightly but did not answer him, walking towards the residence.

The two had finished discussing the deal and returned along the same path from the withered forest. Unexpectedly, when they went back out, it led directly to the corridors on both sides of the main entrance.

At this moment, the sky was already brightening, but the entire sky was gloomy, just like the weather in the withered forest; the air was permeated with an oppressive atmosphere.

At the small pavilion, Qian Ye and Hu Tao appeared at the stairs, and Hu Tao saw his doorway crowded with people.

Players and NPCs were all here; the NPCs were exactly Angelica and Desolate Wind.

What were they doing around his place? What had happened?

"What... are you doing?"

Hu Tao's voice suddenly appeared behind them, startling the two players.

When Wang Xiaoxiao saw Hu Tao, it was as if she had seen a savior, and she hurriedly stepped forward to pull his sleeve.

"Brother Chen Ming, Zheng Wei... Zheng Wei..."

"..."

Hu Tao subconsciously dodged to the side. Who is your brother?

Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't care about the awkwardness. Her face was pale, and her eyes were red. "Zheng Wei and Shao Yang are dead, dead."

Hearing this, Qian Ye's face showed no reaction.

When seeing Zheng Wei's corpse, Hu Tao had also guessed this outcome, but he hadn't expected the unlucky one to be Shao Yang.

Hu Tao and Qian Ye arrived at Shao Yang's room one after the other.

To say it was Zheng Wei would be better described as a skeleton, wearing a wedding dress, throwing its entire body onto Shao Yang, biting directly into his carotid artery.

There were blood splatters all around.

Shao Yang's face still bore an expression of disbelief.

He was killed by surprise again.

And this Zheng Wei was clearly a ghost. He didn't know what item Shao Yang had used in the end, but both the person and the ghost had perished together.

Outside, Angelica looked at the wedding dress on the skeleton, her face pale, a flash of reluctance in her eyes. "That's the second one."

But why did one more person die?

Why did it feel like something had slipped out of their control?

"Desolate Wind, do we really have to continue?"

Desolate Wind comforted her. "Angelica, look at me. We can no longer turn back."

"Soon, after one more night, we can hold our own wedding."

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, a flash of ruthlessness crossed the bottom of Desolate Wind's eyes.

"Angelica, we have persevered for so long; are we going to talk about giving up at this moment?"

"Do you think we have any road back to take?"

"I, I..."

Angelica's face turned pale.

"Let me think about it properly." Angelica pushed him away, returned to her room, and closed the door.

This was clearly not what had been agreed upon before.

Wu Yan was dead, she wouldn't feel guilty!

She hated Wu Yan. Clearly, he was her lover, but he had been occupied by her and Desolate Wind for so long. She would only feel happy that she was dead.

But why did they die again, and this time there were two of them!

What about next time?

No one cared about Angelica's monologue.

At this moment, inside Shao Yang's room,

Qian Ye's gaze fell on the back of Desolate Wind in the corridor. When he turned his head, his gaze met hers directly.

Qian Ye grinned, flashing a big smile.

Desolate Wind's eyes darkened slightly; he hadn't forgotten what this woman had done before.

Bowing his head, a flash of madness appeared in the depths of Desolate Wind's eyes.

Inside the room, Wang Xiaoxiao kept trying to get close to Hu Tao.

"Brother Chen Ming~ Shao Yang is dead. Do you think it's our turn next?"

Hearing her call him "brother," Hu Tao's body shook in fright, and he hurriedly moved away from her.

His whole face expressed speechlessness. Wasn't this just talking nonsense? If something happens again, wouldn't it just be picking from us living people?

"Ahem, just look for clues properly, there's still a chance." Hu Tao couldn't handle this kind of girl; it was safest to stay by the big boss's side.

With a stride, he came behind Qian Ye and stayed there safely and steadily.

Wang Xiaoxiao stomped her feet in anger. How could there be such a person, completely impervious to persuasion?

Qian Ye could only shake her head as she watched. She wanted to slap her awake and pull her ear to say: This is an Eerie Game, not a romance game, nor is it a game of flirting and keeping fish.

Survival escape, who would fall for this little beauty scheme?

Oh, someone did fall for it, Shao Yang!

Look, his fate!

Hehe!
