Chapter Sixty-Seven: New Scratches
But before he finished speaking, Yu Luochen's expression suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something.
I only heard Jing Yao say to him lightly: "Have you forgotten what I told you before, in "The Secret World of Reincarnation", anything can happen." β
And after hearing this, Xinyu and Xiao Liangliang on the side actually nodded in agreement, Yu Luochen's face became a little solemn, and he was silent, and his fingers clenched imperceptibly.
That's right, after all this experience, he no longer believes that "Samsara Secret World" is just a simple game. As Jing Yao said, in this world, nothing is strange when something happens.
"Anything else?" After a long time, Yu Luochen, who was silent, raised his head, and his tone returned to calm, "Is there anything else you have discovered?" β
Hearing Yu Luochen's inquiry, Jing Yao's face changed slightly and nodded.
I saw her pointing to the bed beside her, which originally belonged to Qin Feng, and said in a deep voice: "You should know that according to the game setting, if a player dies, everything related to him will be erased. β
Yu Luochen bowed his head, these basic settings, the "Seal of Garan" in his mind had already told him all.
"You should have seen the words carved on the bed with your fingernails, and with his death, those scratches should have disappeared together," Jing Yao's face sank when she said this, "But we found that the scratches belonging to [Black Mist Shadow] Qin Feng did disappear, but under his scratches, there was another layer of scratches...... "Jing Yao said as she lifted the mat covering the bed.
And at the moment when the mattress was lifted, Yu Luochen noticed the scratches on the bed, but these scratches were much thinner than what he had seen before, and they looked old.
After looking at it carefully for a long time, I realized that they were different from the forbidden diary written by Qin Feng, and they had such a large amount of information. The scratches are simple, they crisscross and only make up two words - cannibalism.
Yu Luochen was shocked when he saw it, and exclaimed, "What the hell is going on? But Jingyao and Xinyu also shook their heads in unison, not knowing why.
"If I hadn't been able to find it after investigating the tenant records of this room, these scratches were hidden under Qin Feng's scratches," Jing Yao touched those scratches with her fingertips, as if she was feeling something, "Presumably Qin Feng, who was in pain by Wan Gu's heart at that time, also imitated catharsis and relieved his pain in the same way because he saw these scratches, the new scratches covered the old scratches, no wonder we didn't find it at first sight." β
Yu Luochen clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "That means ......" There was an unconcealable consternation in his voice, Jing Yao answered, "In other words, there is a player like Qin Feng, who also has a Gu King in his body, and is active in the Reincarnation Secret Realm to eat people everywhere," she paused, "And it seems that he has entered the secret realm a long time ago, and it is even possible that his level has surpassed us." β
Yu Luochen fell silent, his face pale.
"In this world, there are monsters that are more terrifying than zombies, ghosts, gods, demons, and monsters...... These monsters are not from the secret realm......" The old man's words echoed in his mind again.
After experiencing Qin Feng's incident, he has gradually seen clearly what the so-called "monster not in the secret world" isβthat is a human being who has been kidnapped into the secret world, abandoned humanity and morality, and completely lifted his own ban.
Just like Qin Feng, who eats people, he is human on the outside, but his heart is filled with Gu worms, and he has completely lost his qualifications to be a human being, and has been reduced to [Black Mist Shadow].
And now, they finally got rid of Qin Feng, but they were told that there were more terrifying and powerful man-eating monsters active in the game than Qin Feng.
Yu Luochen felt as if he was a little overwhelmed......
"It's a pity that the data related to this room has been deleted, if it's still there, we can at least find some clues, and even if we can't beat it in the future, we can avoid it from afar, such a monster, I really don't want to encounter it again." Jing Yao's voice was filled with disgust for that kind of man-eating monster.
"Really, how come you come out this time, you can encounter anything," thinking of the upset, Jing Yao slapped the bed board a little unpleasantly, so frightened that the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper trembled, she glanced at them, and said impatiently, "Forget it, you guys go down." β
"Yes...... Be...... Thank you, sir......" The two NPCs hurriedly apologized and retreated.
After the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper left, the four of them fell silent again, and they didn't know what they were thinking in each other's hearts, but their expressions were gloomy.
I don't know how long this state lasted.
Xinyu opened her mouth first, breaking the unbearable silence: "Okay, whether you will meet it or not, it will be in the future," she paused and looked at Jing Yao and Yu Luochen, "Right now, the matter here is over, do you have any plans for the future?" β
"I'm going to go to [Netherworld] again to see if I can find some more clues, I always feel that it's a little unusual there," Jingyao replied, "The branch of the [Green Demon Tree] that I want has also been obtained, and after the [Netherworld] comes back, I won't stay here anymore, and then I plan to go back to the Lunatic Cult to hand over the sect mission." β
She raised her head again, and was about to ask Yu Luochen about her plans, but she heard a low cold voice from under Xinyu's mask: "You said you want to go back to the Moon Worship Sect?" β
As if she had suddenly changed into a different person, she suddenly said coldly: "Before you leave, do we still have some things to deal with......
Jing Yao's expression froze on her face instantly, and she turned her face to look at Xinyu with some embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a while.
I only heard Xinyu say bluntly: "You also saved the people, and I also gave you enough time, now we should also make a break......
On the side, Yu Luochen felt the tense atmosphere between the two of them, and he had no choice but to smile kindly: "What kind of grudge do the two of you have, can't you sit down and talk about it, why do you need to use a knife and a gun......"
"Actually, it's not a big deal," Jing Yao heard Yu Luochen ask, and hurriedly blurted out, "I was just doing a task at the beginning, and the task didn't succeed in the end, so I ....."
"That's it!" Xinyu Huo Ran lowered his voice and interrupted Jing Yao, "You almost killed our leader, but you actually said that it was not a big deal, do you think that the completion of that task is a big deal?" β
Xinyu's eyes under the mask were sharp and cold, and Jing Yao's eyes were a little evasive, and when Yu Luochen heard Xinyu's words, his face changed suddenly.
I heard Jing Yao say before that she poisoned the leader of a certain force, could it be ...... Yu Luochen raised his head and found that it was not only Xinyu, but even Xiao Liangliang behind her was staring at them with fierce eyes.
He even left Jing Yao alone in a minute and immediately had the heart to run away...... But Jingyao actually dared to continue to speak: "At that time, I also inadvertently took that task, and so many people took it at that time, why do you always target me......"
Jing Yao pouted, pretending to be aggrieved.
"......" Xinyu looked at her like that, only to feel that there was a wave of anger in her heart gradually spreading, uncontrollable, and couldn't help but sneer, "Really?" In other words, there are so many people who took that task specifically, and none of them dared to do it, but you, the person who took it unintentionally, almost completed the task. β
Her voice was cold and sharp, like a spirit sword unsheathed in an instant, Yu Luochen could feel the tense and dangerous atmosphere, and it seemed that in the next second, a big battle would break out in this small guest room.
Yu Luochen is thinking about how to gag and calm this tense and dangerous atmosphere.
But at this time, Xinyu and Jingyao, who were originally-for-tat, turned their heads at the same time, looked in one direction vigilantly, and said sharply: "Who is it!?" β
