The expression on her face was strange and hideous, and her mouth was trying to open as hard as she could, as if she was sharing the same face, not the same soul, as if she was always smiling at the corners of her lips in the black and white photo.

The inside of the coffin is narrow. So her hand was actually curled up next to her body, but her palm was pushed up very hard, as if trying to push something away, in short, all these signs suggested-

"She didn't die of illness." Xiao Qi muttered in a low voice.

Maybe it was suffocation, or maybe it was some other cause of death, in short, she definitely didn't die of a long illness as the fat man said, but was killed alive and very tough.

She didn't want to die.

The temperature in the mourning hall seemed to be lower, and the chill seemed to come out of the ground or through the cracks in the door, constantly eroding the warm blood of humans.

A certain peculiar pattern on the coffin affected Yuan Yuxue's scanning function at the beginning. He could only vaguely perceive that there was a corpse inside, but he couldn't know the details of the other party's specific status.

Now that the coffin was open, he could see clearly. Even if his mind had already given the most direct judgment on the data, he still re-scanned the body at that moment.

Vital signs are completely gone.

This is indeed a corpse. There is no possibility that there is any need for rescue.

Although Xiao Qi's hands and feet were slightly numb, she still took out her mobile phone after sorting out her emotions

She apologized softly to the corpse before she started taking pictures and recording a short video of it — information that needed to be saved and shared with other players.

Also take it back and look at it again and again to see if there are any missing clues. Data will always be a little more accurate than human memory.

After the shooting, Xiao Qi did not check the photos. It's just that for the accuracy of the data, it is not a single source, and she also reminded Yuan Yuxue to remember to take pictures.

Yuan Yuxue's eyes moved slightly.

Although he will not forget a single detail of this picture, the memory of the battle robot itself is a more credible carrier than the photograph. But Yuan Yuxue still followed what Xiao Qi said, picked up his mobile phone, and before taking pictures, he paused slightly.

After learning what Xiao Qi did, he silently apologized to the corpse and said, "Please let me take a picture", and then pressed the shooting button.

Almost at this moment, Yuan Yuxue heard the noisy lobby outside, and the son of the old Li family suddenly moved towards this side without warning.

He was very fast, and the moment he lifted the curtain, he noticed the locked door of the mourning hall, and in an instant, he became furious.

The fist slammed against the door, and the sound of the bang caught the attention of the guests in the outer hall.

"What are you doing in there?"

The gloomy voice sounded, "Why lock the door?" What are you going to do with your sister's corpse? ”

He slammed the door again, and it seemed that more villagers were coming. And at this time, there was the sound of the lock cylinder being plucked.

He has the key.

Almost in this moment, Yuan Yuxue and Xiao Qi exchanged a look.

Xiao Qi didn't hesitate, put away his mobile phone, and walked to the door in two or three steps, with a hint of consternation and inexplicability in his tone, calming the emotions of the villagers at the door.

"We don't have anything to do, so we're here to open the door - don't make a lot of noise in the mourning hall and disturb the rest of the dead."

Her hand was indeed on the lock, and the sound of the cylinder turning kept coming as if it was about to open the door, but it was actually adding to the chaos. Use this moment to hold the door, stalling for time, so that he doesn't break in so quickly.

And Yuan Xuxue's task is to restore the coffin in the short dozen seconds that he has fought for - this work can only be done by Yuan Xuxue, who can easily lift the lid of the coffin, Xiao Qi's strength is not enough, so he can only divide labor like this.

But the time that can be bought is too short.

The NPCs outside were obviously suspicious and fell into a very manic state.

Xiao Qi only heard a "click" sound in his ears, as if his brain had fallen into a blank for an instant.

Even though she tried her best against the door, the door still revealed a crack - Xiao Qi looked defenselessly into the gap, a pair of reddish eyes.

Like the eyes of a beast, like the gaze of a demon. In short, a rather terrible sight, which slipped through the crack in the door, locked firmly on her, full of malice.

Such a pair of eyes gives people an extremely strong sense of fear. Even a veteran like Xiao Qi had a heartache for no reason. But that feeling of fear not only made her avoid it, but even took a step forward against her physiological reaction, just to let her body block the outside view more and buy this last bit of time for Yuan Yuxue.

She was pushed away.

The power of this NPC is surprisingly large, Xiao Qi's mind is blank, and now all he thinks about is probably whether Yuan Yuxue has succeeded in restoring the coffin.

- Did he succeed?

It doesn't seem to be.

She didn't even hear any sound of heavy objects moving.

This NPC broke in just too fast.

Xiao Qi's thoughts seemed to be occupied by that sense of powerlessness.

Chapter 233: Gold and Silver Village 12

Lao Li's son, who rushed in, stayed where he was after pushing her away. Those eyes with subtle, unconcealable malice firmly captured all the movements in the mourning hall in an instant.

Time was silent, and Xiao Qi seemed to hear no sound in his ears, frozen in place.

But when she saw the NPC standing in its place, she still sensed that something was wrong, and then turned around and saw the scene in the mourning hall in front of her.

Restored to the original, there is nothing blameworthy.

The coffin that had been lifted - it had been closed tightly by this time!

It looks exactly like when they entered the mourning hall, and no one can peek into it and guess what they've done.

Xiao Qi was even in a slight trance, thinking that the picture of opening the coffin with Yuan Yuxue and seeing the chilling corpse inside was actually his own hallucination.

Even the current Yuan Yuxue, who was standing two or three steps away from the coffin, seemed to have made some gestures, and his palms were in one place.

Walking further, you can see Yuan Xuxue's slightly drooping side face.

His eyes were closed, and although his face was still cold, there was a hint of reverence, as if he was praying for something for the scene in front of him. Those lit incense were scattered in the air, and a wisp of light smoke drifted towards Yuan Yuxue, falling between his eyebrows and eyes, making his expression at this time even more shakable and sacred.

- In short, although he didn't make any sound, it felt like he was praying for the dead.

Xiao Qi was indeed stunned at that moment, but he reacted more quickly than anyone else.

Even because of Yuan Xuxue's current actions, she put forward the very thoughtful reason they had thought of before very smoothly.

"We're praying for your sister. It's just that it can't be ventilated, so that the soul won't be blown away, so the door is closed. Xiao Qi's tone was so honest that he couldn't find fault with it.

She pursed her eyes slightly, looked at Lao Li's son, and there was a strong sense of blame and incomprehension in her tone, "Why do you think of us so much?" And to make a fuss outside the door like that - who are you trying to disturb? ”

The villagers who walked in behind Lao Li's son saw this scene, and their numb expressions, which were originally indifferent and close to weird, suddenly became normal again.

They also seemed to be very taboo, and when they glanced left and right at the mourning hall, and then looked at Lao Li's son, their eyes couldn't help but add a little blame.

Some other players followed.

When they saw the strange action of Lao Li's son just now, they suddenly had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and they probably thought that something had happened to Yuan Yuxue.

Just now, it was even more intentional or unintentional - but it didn't stop, and it made the NPC even more gloomy, staring at them as if they were on the verge of going crazy at any moment.

At this time, seeing that nothing major happened, I was at ease.

They saw Yuan Yuxue in front of the altar, as if she was praying, and their eyes fell on the black and white photo on the table.

"Yes, how can Lao Li's family make a fuss in front of your sister's mourning hall?" The suit was quite leisurely, and then blamed him for not being yin or yang.

Even those villagers didn't come out to say a word for Lao Li's son at this time, and the expression on his face looked quite agreeable.

Xiao Qi still remembered that she had seen the pair of slightly reddened eyes before, and the emotions in her heart were actually tense to the extreme, and even the palms showed a little wet sweat, but the expression on her face was still dripping, "If it's okay, go out first, don't disturb me and my friends." ”

"—I'm not going out."

Suddenly, he said, "I'll stay here." ”

It's just that at the moment when his words fell, Yuan Yuxue also completed his "prayer", and his hands were lowered. opened his eyes slightly, and when he turned around, those cold eyes were opposite to Lao Li's son.

No one looked away.

In those dark eyes, there was a coldness like a blade.

There was a moment of silence.

Lao Li's son suddenly stepped forward and pressed his hand on the coffin of Tongmu, as if he wanted to check something.

The coffin, which was originally closed seamlessly, would of course have left some traces if it had been touched-

But he didn't find it.

Under this extremely strong unwillingness, the hand clasped tightly on the lid of the coffin became even harder, as if his fingers were about to be inserted into the wood.

His wrist exerted a slight force, as if he wanted to lift the lid of the coffin, but Yuan Yuxue's hand suddenly fell on his hand.

Compared with the extremely abnormal NPC, the body temperature on Yuan Yuxue's body was actually lower, so that Lao Li's son felt that the coolness emanating from his fingertips soaked his body through this hand.

The action as if he was tightly shackled made him look up and meet Yuan Yuxue in anger.

The strange pupils seemed to have undergone some changes, the eyes were straight, and a little blood spread out from the middle of the pupils, as if in the weird, looking at Yuan Yuxue with some viciousness.

However, what Yuan Yuxue is showing now is more inhuman than him.

The young man, who didn't have any special changes in his expression, stared at him so coldly and indifferently, even more dangerous than the current Lao Li son.

Yuan Yuxue opened her lips and silently said a very short sentence.

"Do you dare to open the coffin"?

Can you afford the consequences of doing so?

Lao Li's son probably understood.

For after a brief pause, he abruptly withdrew his hand.

Yuan Xuxue didn't press him either.

He only turned around and winked slightly at Xiao Qi who was standing aside.

Xiao Qi seemed to have just reacted and understood what Yuan Yuxue meant, and asked him with some hesitation: "Do you want to leave now?" ”

Is there anything that hasn't been dealt with?

Yuan Yuxue nodded, she was relieved, and followed Yuan Yuxue out of the mourning hall that was overflowing with strange cold air.

The two of them left the mourning hall, as if they had investigated some unique clue. The other players didn't continue to stay at Lao Li's house for long, and ended with a few words of relief - in order to improve the play, the suit also took out a few red tickets from the wallet he carried with him and handed them to the old man, saying that they should not be overly sad, rest and make up for their bodies these days, and they will be tired of the next ceremony, but they can't be dragged down now.

Suits have always been generous in reality, and it is estimated that these red tickets in the copy are the least casual gifts he has ever given.

But there's no way, the resources in the dungeon are limited, and the money he prepared may not have been brought over due to mechanism problems, and the money has to be saved.
