The old woman buried the player's corpse for a long time, and the three people who had been hiding behind the tree for a long time had their legs numb.

Jing He hugged the tree in both hands, staring eagerly, looking forward to the end of the other party's work, dragging the shovel, and staggering towards the time.

The edge of the shovel dragged on the ground, making goose bumps all over her body, and the satin cheongsam was glowing red in the moonlight, and she gradually walked away.

"Um... Brother Yunlan, shall we go back now?"

"Look at the place where the corpse is buried before going back." Fu Lanyu said, "Make a mark so that you won't find it when you come tomorrow night."

On the collar of her shirt, there is a small detachable rose, which when untied becomes a red ribbon, which can just be tied to a tree trunk.

She stepped on the ground under her feet, and the soil was smashed to the ground with a shovel. It is estimated that it will take some time to dig it out tomorrow night.

Qiao Yunzheng looked around and seemed to feel: "Sister Lan."

"what?"

"look."

She looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw the corpse of a small animal lying quietly among the fallen leaves in the shadow of the moonlight ahead.

It was the black cat that Jing He lost because of beckoning ghosts an hour ago.

Jing He also saw it. He walked forward quickly and saw that the black cat's green eyes were round and round, and the cat's mouth was wide open, revealing two rows of sharp fangs.

The opening of the cat's mouth was so weird, as if he was howling in pain before he died, and he was startled.

"Fuck, is there something stuck in its throat? Or is its mouth opened?"

As soon as Fu Lanyu leaned over, he was stopped by Qiao Yunzheng.

Qiao Yunzheng stretched his hand into the cat's mouth, paused for a few seconds, and slowly pulled out a carved hairpin with a sharp top from it.

He walked to the bright moonlight and took a closer look, and found that the flower carved on the hairpin was exactly the same as the embroidery on the old woman's cheongsam.

There is no doubt that this is a weapon that can kill NPCs.

He handed the hairpin to Fu Lanyu: "You take it, it must be useful tomorrow night."

"good."

...

When the trio finally returned to the room from the outside, it was already four or five o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright in the east, and dawn was almost here.

Jing He yawned, dozing off as soon as he touched the bed.

Qiao Yunzheng dragged him to one side of the bed, vacated the position on the other side, and signaled Fu Lanyu to also go to rest for a while.

Fu Lanyu was lying on the bed with her arms folded. Surprisingly, she was not sleepy. She said slowly: "I still have breakfast. After all, I only had breakfast yesterday."

For three meals a day in this world, only breakfast makes sense, although the scallion pancakes are tasteless, and the pickles are dying.

Qiao Yunzheng smiled: "You slept for two hours. I will call you when it's breakfast time."

"how about you?"

"Of course I have to guard both of you."

He sat next to her, slightly sideways, letting her hold his arms like a pillow.

Jing He on the other side of the bed had already fallen asleep and was still talking in sleep.

"Brother Yun is my elder brother, and Sister Lan is my elder sister, then... how can I..."

The one in the back just murmured and couldn't hear clearly.

Qiao Yunzheng was silent for a long time before sighing.

In the game, it is rare to have this quiet and relaxing moment.

A new day is coming again.

...

Early in the morning, only Qiao Yunzheng and Fu Lanyu went to have breakfast. When they arrived at the NPC's room, they found that only the girl with a pearl hairpin and the young man with curly hair like instant noodles were sitting at the table one by one.

The instant noodle man looked up and couldn't help but sneered: "Hey, there are only four left. It seems that a lot of ghosts died last night."

The Pearl Girl murmured, "Even if there are four left, at least one will die tonight."

"It's like who doesn't know the rules of the game. Does it need you to talk more?"

"Did I talk to you? It's you who want to take the trouble."

"cut."

As the game progresses, everyone's mood becomes more and more unstable, and the hostility is getting heavier, which is understandable.

Neither Fu Lanyu nor Qiao Yunzheng participated in the conversation.

The old woman was still wearing the red cheongsam, with her legs crossed, sitting gracefully in front of the mirror, her dark eyes staring straight at it.

Only this time, she didn't have the black cat in her arms.

Fu Lanyu bit the scallion pancake, raised his eyes in secret, and quietly glanced at the mirror.

Only the back of the old woman's head can be seen in the mirror, but it is still vaguely visible that on the top of the other's bun, there is a pair of cat ears full of patterns.

She silently turned away from her eyes.

After a while, the instant noodle man asked again: "Three, did you find any other clues last night?"

Qiao Yunzheng smiled and asked: "Did you find out?"

"I found it, so I asked you to confirm it and see if it's the same clue."

"Then you mean, you want us to talk about it first?"

"Yeah, otherwise?"

Qiao Yunzheng calmly shook his head and smiled deeper: "Sorry, but we don't want to say."

"..."

He got up and left, Fu Lanyu followed behind, and by the way took a piece of green onion pancakes for Jing He.

Even the pearl woman gave the instant noodle man a satirical look, and walked out of the room on her own.

This low-level method of empty glove clues is really not enough to see in front of players who have experienced many battles.

Don't make a fool of yourself.

On the third night, the small woods outside the alley appeared again.

Jing He spent the day in the room to make up for his sleep. In the evening, he was full of energy, rolled his arms and sleeves, and was completely ready to charge into the battle.

The three of them went to the depths of the woods together, and based on Fu Lanyu's precise road recognition skills, came under the tree that was marked last night.

Sure enough, the red ribbon tied to the tree was still there.

Qiao Yunzheng took out the shovel that he found in the house of a family in the alley during the day, and began to shovel out the soil one by one.

He also visited that family yesterday. Originally, there was no shovels. It can be seen that as soon as the new mission is opened, the clues will be refreshed.

As she was shoveling, Fu Lanyu suddenly heard the sound of very subtle footsteps not far away, and she looked back vigilantly.

"Who?"

Seeing that the tracking failed, the other party simply stopped hiding, and walked out frankly. It was the player Pearl Girl.

"The three are really smart, I know, you will definitely find the corpse mud."

Obviously, after every ghost recruiting mission is over, the final mission will be changed to corpse mud paint eyes, and she is no exception.

As a result, Fu Lanyu hadn't answered her yet, he heard another male voice sounding neither overwhelming nor overwhelming.

"Hey, isn't there still four people left for co-authoring, but five people left? This is really lively."

It is the instant noodle man.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, and the surviving players are all there.

"Have you seen it? The three of them have formed an alliance. They are in a group and want to pass the customs together." The instant noodle man instigated the Pearl woman, "We better not betray each other. We should recognize the situation at the critical moment."

The Pearl Girl glanced at him: "Do you still need to talk about it?"

"I don't think it makes sense to do it now." Fu Lanyu has never lost in a serious analysis and reasoned, she said quietly, "The corpse mud is here, and anyone can use it when it is dug out, and we will not stop it. After all, what will happen to the final task, no one knows-even if we are going to kill each other in the five-finals and three-finals, we have to wait for the situation to become clearer? Take ten thousand steps and we are all dead. Are you two? Can you kill the final Bss?"

"..."

Just as the pearl woman and the instant noodle man hesitated, Qiao Yunzheng had already dug the hole, revealing the player's body inside.

The page stipulates that the corpse mud must be soil that covers the corpse within 5 cm.

He took the half bowl of water prepared in advance from Jing He's hand and poured it on it.

The three of them bent over at the same time, wiped a handful of wet and rotting corpses, and evenly spread them on the eyelids and under the eye sockets with their fingers.

Seeing this, the other two hurriedly came over to do the same, and then stood still a certain distance away.

Just the last step, bowed his head and said silently "Sky eyes wide open" three times.

The instant noodle man read faster than everyone else. Almost immediately after he finished reading, he suddenly got into trouble and rushed towards Fu Lanyu in front of him.

In his view, to resolve competitors, it is natural to start with the weakest.

...Who knows that Fu Lanyu has long been wary.

At the close of her hair, she flexed herself to dodge, and then Qiao Yunzheng and Jing He greeted her, pinching each other from the left and right.

The hairpin previously obtained from the black cat slipped off the cuffs. She pressed the head of the instant noodle man and plunged the hairpin straight into his neck.

The instant noodle man twitched frantically and stopped moving.

The change of just half a minute scared the Pearl Girl beside her. She instinctively backed up a few steps. Unexpectedly, when she raised her head, her whole body trembled more severely.

The eyes covered with mud can see things that ordinary people can't see.

For example, the real body of a ghost.

The old npc woman was lying in the distance, her eyes locked here.

It is no longer what it looks like during the day. At this moment, it bears a ferocious cat face, its cheongsam is broken, its limbs are on the ground, and its claws are three inches long, just like a monster.

No, it's actually a monster.

It was crawling slowly at first, and then gradually accelerated until it developed into a forward sprint.

It opened its mouth and roared, scarlet blood pouring from between its teeth, the scene was shocking.

It is conceivable that the lady in gray on the first night was so terrified and miserable when she died.

Qiao Yunzheng pulled a handful of Fu Lanyu, and Fu Lanyu pulled a handful of Jinghe. The three of them rushed decisively and fled out of the woods.

The Pearl Girl ran a little slower, but in fact only a few steps slower, the cat monster who happened to be pounced hooked the belt with his paw, and dragged it back to the original place abruptly.

"what--!!!"

This was her last scream, which stirred an echo in the woods.

"It's impossible for us to kill it!" Jing He yelled as he ran, "We can't even get close to it!"

Qiao Yunzheng said solemnly: "There is always a way to clear the game, maybe we have missed something."

"... By the way! Where is the note I found in the ball last night? What are those eight words?"

"Remove the falsehood and keep the truth, clear the roots."

Perhaps these eight characters are the key to killing the cat monster.

Seeing the cat monster chasing closer and closer, for a moment his paws rubbed Fu Lanyu’s face, and she almost cut off half of her head. Fortunately, Qiao Yunzheng pulled her away in time, and the two of them staggered. Rushed into the corridor.

Fu Lanyu's eyes shrank: "I thought about it!"

To remove the false and keep the truth refers to the real body of the old woman's cat and monster.

And clear the roots...

It means to solve the source of the cat monster.

Where is its source?

In the mirror where you can see its true face even if you don't use mud to paint your eyes.

"I'll destroy that mirror!"

Jing He was shocked: "Are you sure?"

"I have!"

This corridor is extremely long at this time.

The three men rushed for their lives, all the way to the previous NPC room, Qiao Yunzheng kicked the door open, and after everyone had entered, he closed the door backhand.

Following the attack, the cat's claw attacked the anti-theft door to a faltering, the whole room was shaking, and the wall was rustling down.

Jing He tried to pick up the chair and smashed it against the mirror. He smashed it more than a dozen times in a row. Who knew that the mirror remained motionless, there were no cracks, and it was as hard as reinforced concrete.

He felt incredible: "Can't this mirror be destroyed?!"

Qiao Yunzheng and Fu Lanyu looked at each other, and they both understood each other's meaning in each other's eyes.

He sighed: "It has to be let in."

Mirrors and cat monsters are both necessary conditions and indispensable.

Only when the cat monster appears in the mirror can it be regarded as a root cause.

Before the voice fell, the anti-theft door collapsed, making a loud roar.

The three collectively dragged the mirror and used the mirror as a shield to block it in front. While making sure that the cat and monster figure had been reflected in the mirror, Fu Lanyu leaned forward and stretched out only one hand to hold the sharp carved hairpin. Stabbing hard to the mirror surface.

This time there was no hindrance, as if it was pierced into a sponge, and it was easy to get out of it.

Snapped.

The cracking sound was very slight, but it sounded extremely clear.

She took advantage of the trend and stabbed several times in a row.

Qiao Yunzheng was afraid that she would be injured, so he hurriedly pulled her back and held her in his arms.

"It should be enough."

Jing He squatted in the corner, clutching his injured and painful arm, with a cold sweat on his face. Just now he swung his chair in a hurry, and it was indeed a little bit weak.

The cat monster's sharp claws were about to fall on top of his head in just a second.

He subconsciously moved in the direction of Qiao Yunzheng, so that he would feel more secure.

But the movements of the cat monster stopped as the mirror shattered.

Its image in the mirror was scattered in every piece of glass, and its flesh and body began to quickly shatter and limp, and finally turned into a pool of viscous plasma, which flowed all over the ground.

"This... is this done?"

"It's almost finished."

Fu Lanyu replied, throwing away the hairpin in his hand.

At the next moment, the water bottle pendant between the three people's necks turned white light, and the customs clearance was successful.

The author has something to say: The story in the next volume is more interesting because there are more ghosts.

And the next volume is the Platinum Game, so everyone is mentally prepared.
