216: Chapter 216 Lipstick
Seeing that no relevant notification had popped up yet, Chen Mo couldn't help but be taken aback.
"The information is already so extensive, could there still be a problem with my deduction?"
[I Am Not Mentally Ill: I remember, even if you deduce the true culprit, it doesn't count as clearing the dungeon; you must find all the clues.]
[Sky Dumpling: That's right, and you also have to kill the monster!]
[Sky Dumpling: This is the Thriller Game, combat is unavoidable.]
[Blooming Chrysanthemum: I'm leaving, I'm leaving. He's just too plain, I have no desire to keep watching. I'd rather go watch Teacher Jiyin.]
[Lao Liu: Let's go! Let's just go!]
Soon, the notifications before Chen Mo's eyes were all cleared away.
They turned into discussions about Jiyin instead.
Chen Mo, holding the coin sword, walked towards Second Miss's original living quarters.
Pushing open the wooden door, a faint floral scent wafted into his nose. The room was simply furnished, with various rouges and powders arranged on the wooden table.
In the corner stood elegant items like "musical strings, flower arrangements, and watercolors."
As expected of a young lady from a prestigious family; there were many things, but they were arranged in a way that felt comfortable and not cluttered.
Unlike many female college students nowadays, whose desks are as messy as a garbage dump.
Although, this was probably all done by the maid...
Chen Mo was just about to approach the candlestick to rummage through the drawers.
From within the wall next to the candlestick, a red bridal veil suddenly flew out.
It tried to cover Chen Mo's head.
Chen Mo snapped his fingers lightly, his body turning into brilliant fireworks to dodge it. He ended up standing upside down on the ceiling, then pushed off with his lower legs and landed behind the Ghost Bride.
He wrapped his arm around the Ghost Bride's waist, restraining her, and then held the coin sword in front of her neck.
"Hus... Husband, I was wrong!"
"Please spare me."
Chen Mo did not answer; one thing was still missing to clear the dungeon.
That was, how did the Paper Doll scheme to send Chen Yunxuan to prison?
Since the eldest miss's memory couldn't be triggered, he could only start with Second Miss.
Chen Mo's palm moved as fast as an afterimage. Without any tactile feedback, he had somehow retrieved a red dudou?
"Ah!"
The Ghost Bride covered her chest with both arms, her body slightly crouching.
A blush actually appeared on that pale face?
"What the hell, starting a lucky draw?"
[Disturbing the Moon: Damn, he really is a turn-off, actually stealing a girl's underwear!]
[Disturbing the Moon: Can't watch this anymore, farewell.]
[Break Up With Math: You guys go ahead, I'll keep watching.]
[Break Up With Math: This Ashes Silent actually has some entertainment value.]
He never expected that these Administrators actually had a hobby of lurking.
There were only a few people left on his side; most had gone to watch Jiyin.
Chen Mo didn't believe in bad luck and continued to use the "Porter of Others' Finances" to draw prizes.
Soon, he had stolen quite a few items from the Ghost Bride.
There were Paper Dolls, rouge, pastries... and even a tube of lipstick used by modern women?
Seeing her lipstick fall into Chen Mo's hands, the Ghost Bride was instantly enraged.
Intense ghostly energy expanded in all directions, knocking Chen Mo straight out of the room.
Veins bulged all over the Ghost Bride's body, and her originally smooth and beautiful long hair transformed into sharp blades.
With a pounce, she chased him out through the window frame Chen Mo had smashed.
She pinned Chen Mo down, her arms tightly gripping his neck.
The ground instantly shattered, and Chen Mo collapsed into it.
"Give me back my lipstick!——"
"Give me back my lipstick!——"
What was going on? Chen Mo only felt his brain lacking oxygen at this moment.
"This lipstick was a gift from Lord Yin, it's a limited edition."
Chen Mo was speechless upon hearing this.
He exerted force with his thumb, twisting the bottom to push out the tip of the lipstick.
Then, crossing his fingers, he locked onto the middle of the lipstick and said, "Let me go, or else... I'll decapitate this lipstick."
Seeing Chen Mo using the lipstick as a threat, the Ghost Bride immediately wilted.
She released her claws, raised her arms high, and said, "No, don't break my lipstick."
"Phew..."
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground again.
Why did he have the feeling that this was like a boyfriend breaking his girlfriend's limited-edition lipstick, and a war was about to start?
"By the way..."
"This lipstick was given to her by Lord Yin? These are modern items; the Thriller Game maintains the rationality of the environment."
"So this so-called Lord Yin must be a player."
Chen Mo continued to ask, "Who is Lord Yin?"
The Ghost Bride bit her lower lip, seemingly unwilling to speak.
Chen Mo immediately raised the lipstick and increased the pressure of his fingers, causing the lipstick to bend.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" The Ghost Bride caved.
"Lord Yin is the current Right Prime Minister."
"The Prime Minister?"
"What kind of clothes does he wear?"
"He, he changes into new clothes every time, and sometimes he even turns into a woman."
Chen Mo pondered silently upon hearing this.
Only players can change clothes frequently, because only after players enter the Thriller Game can the Thriller Game begin.
Only then do the creatures inside move.
This Lord Yin is very suspicious; he might even be a former teammate of his dad and mom.
"In this dungeon, how many sons-in-law have come in total?"
"dungeon? What is a dungeon?" The Ghost Bride clearly didn't understand the jargon.
She also didn't know that she was actually just an NPC in the Thriller Game.
"As for sons-in-law, there have been 5 in total. The one who just arrived recently was very handsome."
"It's just that his name is a bit tacky."
"What's his name?"
"Longevity Like Southern Mountain; he came 10 years ago."
Hearing this, Chen Mo was already very clear: this Lord Yin could be identified as a suspect in the murder of his parents.
In any case, clear the dungeon first.
"Give me your red bridal veil, and I'll give you the lipstick!"
"This..." The Ghost Bride hesitated.
The lipstick was certainly precious, but compared to this life-saving red bridal veil, which was more valuable went without saying.
"Don't worry, I'll give you even more lipstick," Chen Mo added.
The Ghost Bride's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, but she still seemed a bit skeptical.
"And an endless supply of rouge and powder."
"Really?!" The Ghost Bride was truly happy this time.
She clapped her hands and threw the red bridal veil to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo caught it, and immediately his face began to twist and deform, quickly transforming into the image of the Ghost Bride.
A segment of memory also entered his mind.
"Husband, why did you ask me to come to this deep mountain forest?" Second Miss asked.
"My lady, you don't understand. It's about to rain, we should listen to the rain here and look at this beautiful lake scenery, how lovely!" This was Chen Yunxuan's voice.
Chen Mo stood in the distance, watching the two of them shoulder to shoulder.
The girl's head rested on the man's broad shoulder, revealing a happy smile.
But the next scene was not so happy.
Chen Yunxuan suddenly reached behind his waist and drew a gleaming white knife from it.
He stabbed it straight into Second Miss's abdomen.
Second Miss was inherently frail and was killed instantly by the single strike.
Then, Chen Mo saw that Chen Yunxuan spin in place and transform into the appearance of the eldest miss.
