Chapter 6 - Manor Mist (6)
Seeing that the three people in the room did not respond, Jenny showed a pleading look: “Open the door, please open the door for me…”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and squeezed into the door frame, her eyes fixed on Su Lingling.
Of course, it was impossible for her to reach in through the narrow crack of the door. The thorns at the bottom of the door slashed her arm with blood, but she didn’t seem to feel any pain, and she still wanted to stuff her arm into the room.
Ye He was stunned in place, and according to the system’s understanding of him, he felt that he should have been frightened.
It took Ye He a long time to find his voice: “She…”
The system is extraordinarily calm: [Caihua is back to say hello to you all. 】
Ye He’s gaze turned to the wall again: “But this **** water…”
System: [What blood? This is the paint on the walls. The water leaked upstairs and wet the wallpaper, and the paint was washed down. 】
Ye He: “But…”
The system sighed: [Young people shouldn’t always think about ghosts and gods casually, watch more “Approaching Science”. 】
Ye He: “……”
System: [Hey, aren’t you afraid of ghosts? It’s nothing to be afraid of ghosts, and I won’t laugh at you…]
The system’s words were considered to have precisely stepped on Ye He’s life gate.
Ye He’s still trembling expression changed instantly: “How can I be afraid of ghosts? I just want to see if you think the same as I do. Coincidentally, I don’t think it has anything to do with ghosts.”
Now his eyes are no longer dodging, his legs are no longer trembling, and even his speech is more sonorous than before.
Hearing Ye He’s words, the system smiled comfortably, and suddenly felt that Ye He had a strong self-esteem.
At the end, the system has to say something meaningful: [Let me just say, how can you be afraid of ghosts? 】
Ye He nodded stiffly, but still didn’t dare to look at Jenny now. He was hesitating whether to open the door and let the other party in, when he saw Qin Qian suddenly step forward, and then stood directly at the door.
From the angle that Ye He couldn’t see, Qin Qian’s hand didn’t know when there was a small delicate dagger.
Seeing that Qin Qian finally stepped forward, Su Lingling couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She knew that Qin Qian had a lot of props brought from the high-risk dungeon.
Qin Qian squatted down at the door frame, Jenny had already squeezed a hand in, and was about to squeeze her head in too. She seemed to sense that someone was approaching, raised her head and glanced, and happened to meet Qin Qian who was walking towards her.
Jenny’s eyes fell on the dagger in Qin Qian’s hand, her expression showing obvious fear, she struggled to retreat, but it was still a step too late, her arm was scratched by the dagger, and the flesh of the whole arm melted instantly, revealing the bones.
It was just that only the bones were left for Jenny, and she hurriedly retracted the bones-only arm after screaming in agony. Qin Qian frowned at the blood drop on the blade, and with a flick of his hand, a drop of blood just fell on Jenny’s face. Jenny didn’t have time to wipe it off, and hurriedly backed away.
Qin Qian’s figure blocked everything, from Ye He’s point of view, only Jenny’s shrill screams could be heard.
Ye He felt that the whole manor was probably woken up by this sound.
He subconsciously stepped forward to see what happened, but Qin Qian, who was in front of him, suddenly stood up, opened the door and ran out.
Jenny under the door has disappeared, and Su Lingling knows that Qin Qian is going after Jenny.
And the moment Jenny and Qin Qian disappeared together, there was no more blood dripping from the wall, but Ye He could no longer be distracted to pay attention to these things.
Ye He looked at the instantly empty door, and suddenly thought of a very important question – Qin Qian hadn’t given him a good review yet!
Ye He: “Wait, why did Qin Qian just run away?”
System: [Maybe there is something urgent to find Jenny. 】
Ye He thought to himself that if he waited here stupidly for Qin Qian to come back, he didn’t know when to wait, and after thinking about it, Ye He also decided to get up and chase Qin Qian.
He just didn’t expect that he just stepped out of the threshold when he heard footsteps behind him, and then Su Lingling appeared beside him.
Because of Qin Qian, when Ye He saw Su Lingling, Ye He felt an inexplicable embarrassment in his heart. He wanted to tell the truth, but he was afraid that he would be hit by Qin Qian, who happened to be back at the beginning, and he would be finished.
However, Su Lingling seemed to not remember what happened just now. She never mentioned Qin Qian, but asked with a smile, “Where are you going? Let’s go together.”
Ye He: “…I’m looking for Qin Qian.”
The smile on Su Lingling’s face froze, she suspected that Ye He was provoking herself.
Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, nothing more than this.
Although Su Lingling wanted to turn her head and leave, she didn’t dare to leave her alone in the room. After all, although Qin Qian is chasing Jenny out now, who knows if Jenny will go and return.
She was the murderer who indirectly killed Jenny, and the other party would definitely not let her go.
Thinking of this, Su Lingling couldn’t help thinking that the rose garden must be weird. After all, it was the first time she saw an ordinary NPC turned into a ghost and returned. And Qin Qian guessed that there was something wrong with Jenny, so he chased it out.
Now that Ye He said that he was going to find Qin Qian, Su Lingling hesitated a little bit. After all, there is a high probability that Jenny is currently with Qin Qian. She is now in a dilemma, not knowing what to choose.
Just when she hesitated, she suddenly heard Ye He shouting in surprise: “Jenny, are you here?”
What? Jenny is back so soon? Where did Qin Qian go?
Su Lingling raised her head abruptly, and there was a figure standing at the entrance of the stairs not far away, with pale cheeks and **** lips, it was Jenny who had just left.
She subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but after a glance, she realized that the surrounding environment had changed – I don’t know when, the oil lamps in the corridor have all been lit, and the mottled traces of the passage of time on the walls have disappeared. The manor has been refurbished.
And she clearly remembered that she didn’t close the door of Qin Qian’s room when she left, but now when she turned to look, all the rooms in the corridor were closed.
Seeing such a strange scene, Su Lingling’s expression froze. In the few seconds she was stunned, Jenny had already walked in their direction. The other hand had one hand behind her back, and the other hand naturally fell to her side.
The main quest said that as long as you live for seven days, it is only the first day, and according to common sense, nothing should happen…
Ye He didn’t notice Su Lingling’s abnormality, but he couldn’t help but be overjoyed when he saw Jenny: “Jenny, what happened to you just now? Where did you see Qin Qian?”
After all, Qin Qian just left after chasing Jenny, and now Qin Qian is probably not far away.
Hearing Ye He’s words, Su Lingling, who was standing beside her, was already in a cold sweat. She thought that she was an NPC, she didn’t understand anything, and she couldn’t even see that Jenny in front of her was no longer alive.
However, Su Lingling didn’t mean to expose Jenny. After all, now that the other party saw that she didn’t jump directly, he must have other thoughts. If she directly pierces Jenny’s identity now, I’m afraid the other party will show her true face in anger and anger.
Seeing Jenny approaching, Su Lingling clenched her palm tightly, no one except her knew that she was holding a talisman in her palm at this time. This is a stand-in that she bought at a high price. As long as it is attached to a living person, the other party will attract the attention of ghosts for her, but there is a time limit.
If it weren’t for the strange situation now, Su Lingling would be reluctant to take out this talisman. She has already thought about it, if the situation is not right, she will tear off the disguise, stick the sticker directly on Ye He and run away.
Jenny’s red lips rose slightly, showing a stiff smile, and stopped not far from them: “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Su Lingling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jenny stopped. Before she knew it, the talisman paper in her palm was soaked with sweat. Su Lingling originally wanted to sneak away while Jenny wasn’t paying attention, but she just took a few steps back and felt that Jenny’s eyes fell on her, and she also read out the meaning of warning.
Ye He thought that Jenny didn’t hear her question clearly, and subconsciously took a step forward and wanted to repeat it again, but he didn’t expect to hear a task prompt sounding in his ear as soon as he got close to Jenny:
[Additional task: Jenny’s last wish. Poor Jenny died without picking a rose, and if anyone would pick a rose for her, she would give all her savings of ten thousand yuan. 】
However, for the first time, Ye He’s focus was not on the reward in the second half, but on the first half: “Last Wish?!”
How does this mission mean that Jenny is dead, so who is standing in front of him now?
Ye He’s eyes suddenly fell on the pale face of Jenny in front of him, and he quickly stepped back to distance himself from the other party.
The smile on Jenny’s face did not change, as if she did not feel the fear in front of Ye Hehe.
Ye He: “That person standing in front of me is…”
When he thought that the person in front of him might be a ghost, he couldn’t help stumbling when he spoke. At this time, Ye He’s back was already covered in cold sweat. If it wasn’t for the last bit of rationality left, he would have been afraid of disturbing the ghosts in front of him.
System: [Wait, don’t get dizzy! I can explain it! 】
If Ye He fainted now, would it still be worth it? !
But Ye He was determined to faint. After all, the release of this mission was beyond his understanding, but perhaps because he was too scared, his consciousness became more and more sober.
Doesn’t the system say there are no ghosts? !
Ye He was about to cry in his heart: “Jenny is obviously dead…”
System: [Yes, Jenny is indeed dead. 】
Ye He’s last trace of happiness was also brutally broken. His whole body’s strength seemed to be taken out of time. He wanted to escape, but his legs were humiliating and had no strength to lift them up.
Ye He screamed in his heart: “I’m going to die ah ah ah-“
The system struggled to speak in the screams of the magic voice: [But the person standing on the clay mask is not Jenny. 】
[This is actually Jenny’s twin sister, Jenny. 】
Ye He’s screams stopped abruptly: “……Are you kidding me?”
System: [Look at her carefully, she looks different from her sister Jenny. Jenny didn’t have a single red mole on her face. 】
Ye He took a deep breath and raised his head abruptly to see that there was a conspicuous red spot on the face of the person in front of him.
System: [How about it, I didn’t lie to you, did I? 】
Ye He was just as the system thought. He was indeed a timid master. He didn’t dare to take a close look at Jenny’s facial features at this time. He didn’t even notice that the red mole on Jenny’s face was a blood spot.
After seeing the red mole, Ye He’s heart that was still beating suddenly calmed down, but he still tentatively called out, “Jani?”
Jenny didn’t speak, and still looked at him with a smile.
System: [Compared to the lively Jenny, Jenny is a taciturn girl. 】
Ye He: “Okay.”
He turned to look at Su Lingling: “I’ll go to the garden later, you…”
Unexpectedly, Su Lingling interrupted him directly: “I’m going too.”
Su Lingling also received the task of picking roses for Jenny, because she is considered a half-murderer, so this task is mandatory and cannot be transferred to others with props. No matter how scared Su Lingling is, she must bite the bullet and go to the rose garden to pick roses.
Although he didn’t know why Ye He went, Su Lingling’s fear was greatly reduced with the other party’s company.
In order to avoid another accident, Su Lingling just wanted to complete the task quickly. Seeing that Ye He seemed to have something to say to Jenny, she couldn’t help but patted Ye He on the shoulder and urged, “Let’s go.”
The moment she raised her hand, the talisman paper that had been in her palm for a long time was also attached to Ye He’s back.
The author has something to say:
There is no diary today, because Ye He and the system are both physically and mentally exhausted (hello
