Chapter 69: Plot Change
The old woman squatting in front of the brazier kept making the action of delivering "paper money".
But the old woman did not hold any paper money in her other hand, as if every time the paper money was handed into the brazier, it was 'formed out of thin air'.
After further closer observation, Lu Ran finally saw that the secret of the old woman's continuous collection of notes was in the sleeves of the shroud, which seemed to store inexhaustible paper money.
"Fire ...... After the death of her son, the old woman went insane, and the "suicide method" she chose was self-immolation. ”
Just after Lu Ran was secretly observing for a while, there was a vibration on the mobile phone.
"Alright...... Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles. ”
Bestiary update.
Lu Ran quietly took out his mobile phone and clicked to view the information.
The first thing that catches your eye is a cartoon picture of an "old man burning paper".

"Fire Attack...... It's obviously a soul ghost that scares people to death, and it's played as a game by [Hell Road]. But it's a good thing to let me understand the enemy to the best of my ability, and at the same time reduce the sense of terror. ”
With the assistance of the [Monster Illustrated Book], when Lu Ran examined the terrifying old woman, he almost treated her as a monster in the game that would provide experience points and loot.
Lu Ran clearly remembered the request of the "Hell Murder Case" - "Clear the old man wandering in the underground garage."
"It's a bit different from the previous hellish murders, and the key word here is 'clear'...... Is it different from the meaning of 'kill'? This old woman is obviously different from other spell spirits, she is not a villain who completely resents society, and only stays in the underground garage to find the real murderer who caused her son's death because of her obsession with her son. ”
"Is there any way to let her get rid of the obsession in her heart? The game setting of [Road to Hell] is not completely fixed, just like my experience in "Authentication Mission", this game only focuses on the results, and judges according to the results! If I can unravel the root cause of my obsession and get rid of it, I might be able to get a higher evaluation...... There is this possibility. ”
Lu Ran calmed down and sorted out the information collected from newspapers and websites.
The old lady's son is named [Tan Feng].
The old lady also raised her son alone to grow up, which contains endless hardship.
The son who has grown up and just graduated from Niu University with a doctorate last year and stayed on as a lecturer...... However, in a strange way, he crashed and died in the underground garage.
"Wait...... It's hard to accelerate an ordinary sedan past 80 yards in such a small space. Did someone do something on the throttle? Or is this Tan Feng trying to get rid of or trying to kill something? ”
Lu Ran temporarily gave up direct contact with the old woman, but turned on the light of his mobile phone and searched the dusty dim parking lot.
Lu Ran quickly found the column that had been severely impacted.
"This is the crash point...... It's not on the main road, which means that the car used to spin in the underground garage because the accelerator was passive and couldn't stop? Even so, you can choose to jump out of the car...... Or is he really chasing something in an underground garage? ”
"After the incident, the police must have searched the scene, but found nothing...... But the old woman concluded that her son had been killed. Could it be that she rushed to the scene at the first time of the incident and found something? ”
Thinking of this, Lu Ran plucked up the courage to come to the old woman who was burning the note again.
Airplanes!
When Lu Ran approached, the old woman suddenly leaned in front of him, and after examining it, she said, "It's not you...... You weren't the one who killed my son......"
However, this time, Lu Ran interjected.
"Who killed your son?"
The old woman, whose face was smeared with layers of white dust, and cockroaches and insects kept crawling in and out of her eye sockets and ear holes, was stunned by Lu Ran's question, and did not respond, as if she didn't know the answer either.
Lu Ran changed the question.
"Why must you have killed your son? Did you find something at the scene of the incident? Can you show me...... Maybe I can help you find the murderer. ”
At this moment, the old woman responded, "My family...... There is a "photo" in my house. ”
"Photo!? Can you show me? Maybe I can help. Lu Ran asked.
I saw that the old woman's expression was stiff, and while chewing the cockroach in her mouth, she got up and walked towards the elevator.
"Dididi!" At the same time, a hurried prompt sound came from Lu Ran's mobile phone.
Immediately after, the old woman stepped into the ice-cold elevator and pressed the button to the 15th floor.
Nima...... In the middle of the night, I sat on the same elevator with my grandmother, who was wearing a shroud and her eyes were burned, and I would go to her house later. Ordinary people are already scared to pee...... Anyway, I've been scared to pee before. But I should be right to do this, in the case of my previous reckless character, maybe I have already done it with the old woman. ”
Lu Ran took advantage of the 'idle' period when the elevator was rising, and took out the mobile phone that kept vibrating in his pocket.
[Road to Hell] sent a message prompt:
[The branch quest [Mother's Love] has been changed, the probability of encountering "Strange" has been slightly increased, the overall difficulty has been changed to "Medium", and the final completion reward will receive a bonus.』
"Huh!? Hell murder will change in the course of execution? ”
In this way, Lu Ran was more convinced of his own approach, and of course he was more careful.
Ding dong!
The elevator reaches the 15th floor.
As the elevator doors opened left and right, the same cold feeling quickly swept in, but Lu Ran, who was wearing a "Hell Windbreaker", isolated the cold from the outside.
The old woman walked towards the sealed door of her house, and easily passed through the door.
Lu Ran thought that the old woman would open the door for him, but he stood at the door and waited for a long time without moving.
"This ...... I walked in the door, but I didn't care. ”
Lu Ran relied on the characteristics of the lumbar spine to strengthen and the center of gravity to be stable, considering that the old woman's house might be in danger, the chainsaw was not closed to the stomach pouch but fixed on the spine.
Directly from the window of the corridor aisle, he jumped to the kitchen window of the old woman's house.
Syllable! Grasp the edge of the bed firmly with both hands.
Just as Lu Ran tried to open the window, a pale old face with no eyeballs was pasted against the window from the bottom up......
This sudden jump-scare, even Lu Ran, who had extraordinary psychological qualities, was taken aback, and his body was nervously dodged backwards, causing his center of gravity to tilt.
When Lu Ran stretched out his hand again, he couldn't reach the edge of the windowsill! Weightlessness!
Beneath it corresponds to a green belt separated by a height of 15 stories...... It was enough to make Lu Ran fall to pieces.
