NOVEL WEB Chapter 94
“Wha…what?”
Qian Lai was surprised. “You knew it again?”
In the dark underground second floor, the walls were scorched black, and the candles under the cold humidity couldn’t be lit. The dim light flickered, reflecting the hideous face of the bride’s ghost on the wooden pillar behind her.
The next second, [Ding Dong——]
[Host Yu Qing took out his weapon and said, “I’ll kill you.”]
Following a clear system announcement, Yu Qing had a shiny short knife in his hand and stepped toward the body, which had white clothes and white hair.
For some reason, Qian Lai felt inexplicably nervous. “Hey, you…don’t, he doesn’t mean any harm, you…eh?”
Just as he was talking, he saw Yu Qing and the corpse… talking?
Stopping in front of the corpse, the young man raised his face and asked politely and seriously, “Excuse me, can I stab you? Just one stab.”
“…”
The sound fell, and the surroundings were silent for a moment.
This mountain village dungeon was very different from before.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was also attentive, looking forward to what kind of truth Yu Qing could reveal, but… who would agree to such a question?!
Seeing that the other party didn’t reply, Yu Qing pointed at Qian Lai again. “Let me slash and he will give you a hug.”
Qian Lai: “???”
Immediately afterward, the corpse agreed, and then, brush!
The blade of the knife passed across the palm of his hand. The young man lowered his eyes and clearly saw a few lines of words on the handle of the knife.
[Ontology: Yu Jinghong (from 1,000 years ago)]
[Occupation: Ghost Catcher]
[Cause of formation: The corpse is suppressed by special spells and emerges from the ground when encountering special stimuli to meet the destined person.]
It had been a long time, and the costume was very old. It seemed that Yu Jinghong didn’t belong to this dungeon. It was because he met Qian Lai, the destined person, that he appeared by accident.
Therefore, Yu Qing said, “This was originally a school. About a hundred years ago, when the feudal dynasty collapsed, a woman named ‘Shu Qing’ returned from abroad and founded this place, hoping to teach more women to abandon bad habits and pursue the freedom of the new era.”
His voice was not loud, but after he finished speaking, the innocent bride who was tied to the pillar stopped screaming.
She seemed to be aroused and calmed down, staring at Yu Qing eagerly.
In her sight, the bright young man slowly turned toward her and smiled. “So, what I said is right, Shu Qing.”
When his pupils turned red, Yu Qing’s vision was much better than that of ordinary people. After observing carefully just now, he clearly saw a few vague words on the blackboard—Teacher Shu Qing.
“You are a teacher.”
The innocent bride stared at him blankly, as if in acquiescence.
Then, Yu Qing continued, “At first, many people came here. Shu Qing thought she was fighting for the dream of female independence, but something very bad might have happened. She failed to survive the secular world and was forced to wear a wedding dress and marry someone she didn’t love.”
“That person didn’t love her either. He even burned down her beloved school in order to control her.”
“The flames were so big that Shu Qing had no choice but to rush toward them in her wedding dress. But in the end, she failed to put out the fire. Instead, she and the school turned into ashes.”
“Her obsession was left on the wedding dress, so…” Yu Qing looked at Yu Zi. “The wedding dress always want to touch a water, and she will rush here with all her strength. The wedding dress wants to put out the fire.”
“Woo… Wu…”
It seemed that few people cared about the truth in the school. On the pillar, Shu Qing became quieter and quieter, but the crying couldn’t be suppressed and overflowed from her mouth.
“Later, Shu Qing died.” Yu Qing continued, “These decadent villagers demolished her school and built a temple on top of it to pray for sons, but not for daughters.”
“They continued to decay, using temples to destroy women’s freedom and Shu Qing’s dream.”
“Uuuuuuuuah!”
The cry of the wronged soul became even louder, and until the end, it was almost a roar.
She opened her mouth to say something, but her throat had been burned by the fire, and she couldn’t speak anyway.
She could only struggle desperately to bite off the rope and write to them.
“It’s just…I still don’t understand a few things.”
Qian Lai asked, “What?”
Yu Qing said, “First of all, the village rules and regulations of this village are very strange. It is written on the bulletin board at the head of the village. It says that you cannot eat garlic, you cannot cut down the locust tree in front of your house, and you cannot raise small animals. The most important thing is… Don’t get caught in the rain.”
“It’s marked that you can’t get wet in the rain. However, when we entered the village, we were more or less wet in the rain, and we were fine. That proves that these rules are not used to restrict the hosts, but the villagers.”
“I don’t understand, who needs to follow such rules?”
“Second, in ‘Tiying Mountain Village,’ we still haven’t found any babies, but the plot exploration rate has reached 90%, which is very strange.”
“Third…” Yu Qing hesitated, as if he was a little unsure. “I don’t know if this is a strange point.”
He said, “I think the village chief is very strange. He has never appeared before, never spoken, and his presence was ridiculously low. But just now he was greeting me and he could call me by my name.”
“But I haven’t told any NPC that my name is Yu Qing.”
Qian Lai: “…”
He opened his mouth and was about to retort when he saw the corpse striding toward him, he immediately turned around and ran away.
On the other hand, Yu Zi listened attentively and pondered carefully for a while. The girl seemed to have discovered some clues and couldn’t help but ask, “Did the village chief tell you his name?”
“Yes,” Yu Qing replied. “He said his name is Fang Ruyou.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zi’s face turned pale!
“Fang…” Her voice trembled. “Fang Ruyou?!”
