There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 660
Chapter 660: Chapter 566: The Bride: What?
He’s a man?!
Chapter 660: Chapter 566: The Bride: What?
He’s a man?!
Since he had promised to try to leave Osmanthus Village, Xu Shuo returned to the village once again, leaving the bride with no choice but to bite her tongue.
In the night.
A sudden scream shattered the superficial calm, followed by a growing intensity of chaos.
...
The villagers hiding in their homes didn’t dare to sleep that night.
Listlessly, they listened to the singing outside, peeked through the cracks of their windows at the white osmanthus flowers fluttering about, praying for the night to pass quickly.
And at that moment.
The osmanthus tree in the courtyard withered at a visible rate.
An unbearable stench of decay wafted from beneath the tree as tendrils of black vines writhed across the ground, entwining, enveloping the house, and then penetrating the walls.
The villagers lying in bed had no time to react before the black vines pierced through their bodies, continuously drawing the life and flesh from within!
The skin of the villagers shriveled at a visible rate, their bodies slumping limply, quickly submerged and overwhelmed by the encroaching darkness.
In the next moment, a creature emerged, its blood-red eyes scanning the surroundings in search of prey.
North Mountain.
The deformed Abyss Creatures howled hoarsely, their elongated limbs humanoid but not human, their bodies a gory red, twisting as they charged towards the village in a bizarre dance of speed and posture!
A thick darkness erupted from the graveyard!
…
“Help!”
“What on earth is that…ah!”
“Monster!
There’s a monster!”
“Help me!
Quickly, save me!
Monster!”
“Monster…”
“Monster…”
In the ruins of the ancestral hall.
Three people sat in silence among the rubble, hearing cries for help rising all around, exchanging glances, but no one moved.
Torches began to light up on the streets.
After discovering the monsters, some villagers were consumed inside their homes, while others broke through their doors and fled desperately in all directions.
The screams and wails mingled with the faint undertones of resentment in the air, as the flickering flames revealed the monsters leaping and roaring, crafting a gruesome symphony for Osmanthus Village.
Although the ancestral hall was in ruins, no monsters had yet ventured there.
Suddenly, a house in the distance caught fire.
The blaze was particularly conspicuous in the dark night, its fiery glow casting flickering shadows of the black figures around it.
The corrupted osmanthus trees thrashed their branches wildly, and the monsters tore at flesh and blood with their gaping maws, plunging the whole village into an abyss of fear and despair in mere moments.
The distressing pleas for help of the villagers were like wails from hell, a mix of blood, decay, and chaos – this was the true inferno!
Someone ran toward the ancestral hall but was seized from behind by a monster.
Sharp, fine teeth clamped down viciously on the person’s head, blood spraying in an instant, followed by more monsters pouncing and tearing him apart in a feeding frenzy!
“So many monsters…”
Miss Wang’s fingers trembled slightly.
She had originally thought her biggest threat would be the bride, as her true identity was that of the direct bloodline of the Wang Family, which was why she had tried to bring the scholar along for protection.
But now, it seemed the Abyss was the real danger!
The inescapable blight of the Abyss mentioned in the script!
The scholar was also pale, frowning as she said, “It seems the ancestral hall really is a special place.
We can hold out here…”
“Holding out is useless,” interrupted the Old Village Chief, “As long as the gap to the Abyss exists, these creatures will keep emerging endlessly.
Our only outcome from holding out will be the ‘death’ that awaits us!”
The scholar looked at him incredulously: “So you mean we should go and destroy the Abyss’s lair?!”
Miss Wang stared at him in horror.
Without even defeating the minions, you want to challenge the ultimate boss?
Do you think we’re not dying fast enough?!
“Not exactly…”
The Village Chief sounded less confident: “Old Wang is probably beyond help now.
I’m heading to the graveyard on North Mountain, but we likely still need to find Wang Tiezhu.
As long as you, Miss, can…”
While speaking, the Village Chief turned to look at Miss Wang.
To end the game, the completion rate must exceed 50%.
This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.
The current assumption is that this game is designed for five players.
If Old Wang is gone, we can assume he has completed his part.
The scholar has already completed her mission.
To end the game, just two more main quests need to be completed.
The Village Chief definitely has to confront the big boss at the graveyard.
Wang Tiezhu’s mission remains unclear, speculated to be related to the bride, and in any case, he has already been seduced away by her.
Apart from that, there’s Miss Wang.
As all three of them are here, they could first help Miss Wang complete her task, and then head to the graveyard together!
However, upon hearing the Village Chief, Miss Wang looked bitter.
“Don’t look at me, it’s no use.”
“What do you mean?” The Village Chief was puzzled.
“If we could all survive to the end, that would be enough,” Miss Wang said with a complex expression, looking at them.
Village Chief: “…”
Scholar: “…”
Shoot!
This girl has an overarching mission!
A mission that wouldn’t resolve until the game’s very end!
Wang Tiezhu!
Wang Tiezhu, where are you?!
If it really comes to it, after we visit the graveyard, we’ll have to sacrifice this girl to the heavens!
The Village Chief’s expression grew increasingly ferocious.
At that moment, more and more monsters drew near the position of the ancestral hall, attracted by the scent of concealed flesh, their eyes wild with desire as they rushed inside to search.
“Roar—”
A monster suddenly leaped from the broken walls above, opening its maw wide as it lunged at the scholar standing on the outer edge!
That indescribably rotten stench unique to the Abyss Darkness hit them like the putrid smell of long-decayed meat or a swamp in the woods piled with countless dead leaves and animal carcasses.
