There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 671

Chapter 671: Chapter 572: Save my grandson, hey!

Chapter 671: Chapter 572: Save my grandson, hey!

It wasn’t just the Village Chief’s mentality that collapsed.

After receiving Xu Shuo’s task hint, the female scholar was also a bit dazed.

She had thought that Wang Tiezhu’s task would have something to do with the new bride; otherwise, why would he follow the bride all the time?

But after all that.

Your target is the Abyss Great Boss?

...

So now, only the female scholar and the Village Chief had completed their tasks, while Miss Wang’s task was doomed to remain unfinished within the game.

At that instant…

The Village Chief pondered the possibility of killing Wang Tiezhu.

Then he realized that dying directly might be an even faster way to restart.

“Maybe, this is just life,” he thought.

The Village Chief’s mentality suddenly evened out, and he even raised a kind smile.

But his wrinkled face seemed to have aged even more.

Xu Shuo looked at him amusingly as he gave up and said, “I’m not even worried, so what are you worried about?”

The Village Chief offered a skin-deep smile, “True, our meeting is also a kind of fate.

But life is full of joys and sorrows, separations, and reunions.

My only regret is that I have yet to hear you call me ‘Grandpa’ with your own mouth.”

The female scholar: “…”

The teammates this round were quite something.

Suddenly!

The red fog enclosing this open space became a raging storm, the dense mist rolling like fierce waves, surging violently with sheer resentment, hatred, fear, despair, and sorrow!

A chilling voice resonated in the air.

“You want him…

to call you Grandpa?”

The Village Chief’s body shivered.

He looked up, but all he could see was a sea of crimson waves, and it seemed as if the whole world had turned a sanguine red!

The Village Chief said with difficulty, “How could that be?

Tiezhu is my good brother, a good brother for life!

I should be the one calling him Grandpa, how can I make him call me that…

ah!

Grandpa Tiezhu!”

The female scholar: “…”

Xu Shuo: “…”

Able to stretch and bend, he was a tough one.

The bride who had left earlier came back!

The sky was flooded with intrusive red brilliance.

The monsters that were previously striking against the barrier in the mist had disappeared without notice, leaving only faint, wretched screams behind.

And the monster that was restrained by chains suddenly started reacting violently, furiously tugging at the chains, howling, screaming, struggling, and contorting…

Its wildly deranged behavior even broke free from Xu Shuo’s shackles, suppressing his darkness!

Xu Shuo grunted and immediately retracted the “Dark Stealth” skill, and the chaotic whispers invading his mind dissipated.

The monster broke free from the shackles and, without even acknowledging his “Patron,” it twisted and shuddered, its giant arms reaching down and recoiling, springing up!

It shot towards the high sky in an instant!

“I think you got something wrong…”

The bride’s voice resonated from everywhere as long red tassels flew out from the mist, piercing the heart inside the monster’s chest cavity instantly!

And in the Village Chief’s field of vision.

The monster’s Health Bar immediately dropped by a layer!

“This damned village has always been my domain!”

The bride’s furious shout exploded!

Countless red tassels shot out from all directions as the fog boiled and billowed, like an angry sea raising tumultuous waves!

After the monster was punctured with holes by the red tassels, it suddenly exploded into a sky full of black mist, which then coalesced into a sticky substance and began to fall.

The Village Chief’s face flushed with excitement!

The Health Bar, two layers gone in an instant!

Just one more layer to go!

But that last layer of the Health Bar was dispersed into countless parts, flickering erratically.

Because the dark matter that rained down suddenly vaporized into different shapes in mid-air, they floated in the torrential red fog, emitting sounds of crying, screaming, cursing, or wailing.

If you looked closely, you could discern figures in coarse clothes, figures with headscarves, figures with hoes, and figures with round bellies…

Their shapes twisted and voices were noisy and chaotic, like the furious roaring of wind or the faint whispers of phantoms.

But without exception, they were all gradually disintegrating under the assault of the red fog.

“They are…”

The female scholar seemed to suddenly realize something.

The village chief was also somewhat silent.

The bride hated this village, hated everyone here.

And the villagers, who had been tormented and oppressed by the bride for decades, also hated her and perhaps hated this deformed village even more.

Everyone here was filled with negative emotions that couldn’t be eradicated; they were born and died in a world of hatred and malice, forever.

“When will the cycle of vengeance ever end?” was no longer appropriate here.

This was destined to be a tragedy without any victors.

Only death and darkness remained.

The two of them sighed with regret as they thought about the plot.

Only Xu Shuo was focused, carefully scanning the red fog before locking onto a certain location.

After who knows how long, the darkness that had been drifting with the red tide had completely disappeared.

It was only then that they all realized the ground beneath their feet had somehow turned red, as if stained with blood, shockingly bright.

If the world just now was one of darkness,

Now it was a sea of scarlet.

The quieted red fog drifted gently in the air like a thin veil, reminiscent of the curtains that hung down in a wedding hall.

Behind the red veil, there was a faint figure standing gracefully; she was wearing a gorgeous bridal gown with gold-threaded embroidery, and on her head was a red bridal veil with tassels hanging down.

She seemed close yet far away, vague and indistinct.

And at that moment, an overwhelming oppressive force struck!

Everyone felt as if a giant boulder pressed on their chests, heavy and suffocating, and it was as if something had grasped their breath.

Xu Shuo immediately walked towards that direction.

The village chief and the female scholar watched his movements with some nervousness, thinking Wang Tiezhu would welcome him with a hug, or at least offer some comforting words to ease the atmosphere.

But the next moment, they saw Xu Shuo walk past the bride, ignoring her completely as he made his way to the back.

The two of them were at once perplexed: “???”

Could you at least say something first!

It was also at this time that Miss Wang, who was lying unconscious on the ground, suddenly groaned, slowly opened her eyes, and came to her senses.

In an instant!

The bride, who had just been neither too close nor too far away, appeared right beside the three of them!

The old village chief’s hair stood on end: Yi—

…

Xu Shuo found the bride’s body.

After the darkness and resentful spirit that had occupied the body dissipated, the bride’s body reappeared, only! it seemed even uglier.

Before, it had still been a somewhat intact corpse.

Now, there was nothing left but a lump of flesh.

Perhaps in the village chief’s eyes, there was even a short health bar above this lump of flesh.

Xu Shuo squatted down, took out a lighter, and ignited the wholesale purification talisman paper, then threw it onto the lump of flesh, which immediately made a sizzling sound like roasting meat.

Only there was no tempting aroma of roasted meat.

There was only an offensive stench of decay.

Xu Shuo burned another bunch of talisman papers in a row, only stopping after the flames had thoroughly ignited.

He patiently stared at the fire for a while.

Until the lump of flesh turned to ashes.

[Congratulations on completing the task: Cremate the bride’s body.]

[Congratulations to the players for completing more than 50% of the main task.

This session will end in one hour; please prepare accordingly.]

“Tiezhu, roar—!”

In the moment the system prompt sounded, the old village chief’s wail followed from behind.

“Save me…save your grandson!”

“…”

As Xu Shuo turned to look, he saw the bride had already transformed into the posture of a fierce ghost, her resentment sky-high as she glared at them with bared teeth and claws!
