Chapter 25 Gate of Resentment

  Lin You stiffly put on the gloves that Quzile gave, and she  didn’t know where they came from. To be honest, she could almost guess that these people should have a small space or something, Lin You was very envious.

    “I’m sorry to bother you, I’ll be gentle.”

    At first, Lin You found it funny when he saw Zheng Buyan, a stern person, sincerely apologize to the corpse in the coffin when he opened the coffin. But it was her turn to have close contact with the old lady. She could not wait to be polite and considerate, just asking the old lady not to embarrass her during the inspection.

    Through the gloves, Lin You could feel the coldness between his fingers. She started with cuffs, necklines, and legs, but she didn’t gain anything. Lin You looked up at a loss, and found that the two men had already entered the master bedroom to search, and didn’t care about his side at all.

    “Hey, you, you…”

    “Shh.” Qu Zile put her finger on her lips. “Be quieter, we also see no evil.” 

Remembering  God’s see, no evil, Lin You was a little sullen, but rationality told her that she was not at a loss. The body has been checked and there is no danger. It  would be more beneficial if the other two gathered information in a separate search.

    Lin You looked at the old lady, she swallowed, untied the lady’s jacket, and slipped her hand in.

    “I’m sorry, i’m sorry, i see no evil…” Lin You muttered to herself, her face twisted to one side, but her hand still didn’t touch anything. The sound of rustling clothes still rang in her ears.

    Lin You let out a long sigh of relief, retracted her hand, and carefully helped the old lady tidy up her clothes. No matter how careful she was, Lin You moved her body, and the hairpin on Madam Xu’s delicate bun rings  scattered a little, and Lin You carefully straightened the bead flower. With this movement she found something wrong under the old lady’s jade pillow.

    Old Madam Lin’s pillow was dark and solemn, while the piece exposed under the jade pillow was bright red and dazzling.

    Lin You carefully lifted the old lady’s head, took out the jade pillow and the dark-colored square cloth that was placed under the jade pillow as a cover up. She pulled out a piece of clothing from below.

    “I found something, come quickly.” Lin You found more than the red clothes under the corpse, and hurriedly called the other two friends.

    Qu Zile and Zheng Buyan also arrived quickly. The two worked together to lift the old lady’s body onto the lid of the coffin, and took out a wedding dress from the bottom of the coffin.

    The material of this wedding dress is ordinary, far inferior to the shroud on the old lady’s body, but the embroidery stitches on the wedding dress are very delicate, and the other colors in the coffin have just been placed inside, so it is not obvious, and now it was taken out. At first glance, it is clearly an old wedding dress.

    “Do you remember?” Qu Zile rolled her eyes, “What was the shape of the old lady’s hand when I checked her fingers?”

    Lin You didn’t remember very much. She was so frightened that she couldn’t react. How could she remember those detailed stuff?

    Zheng Buyan made a gesture, with his hands flat on his abdomen, palms facing out.

    “Her wedding dress is here, so where is her phoenix crown?”

    “Feng Guanxia?” Lin You twitched the corners of her mouth.

    “…Shut up, I just don’t understand what’s wrong?” Qu Zile gritted his teeth, “It’s the headdress, and her hijab, aren’t they all very important?”

    “You mean, her phoenix, pfft, The headgear is in her hand?” Lin You looked at Qu Zile’s face, holding back a smile, “But it was taken away?”

    Qu Zile nodded sullenly.

    The three of Lin You thought about it for a long time. Lin You looked at the messy wedding dress, and suddenly felt a headache. They can’t take the wedding dress away. She doesn’t know if it’s good or not. Lin You took someone else’s wedding dress. She is really afraid that this old lady will climb her wall at night.

    At this moment, Zheng Buyan squatted down, folded the wedding dress in a way that was very aesthetically pleasing for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and then put it in the coffin. Lin You glanced at Zheng Buyan and thought that this guy… Well, either Brother Bing is a soldier or just got out of prison.

    Seeing that she was no longer needed here, Lin You took a few steps back and accidentally saw the dressing table in the bedroom through the half-opened door of the master bedroom. All the boxes on the dressing table were opened. Lin You felt that it was a bit strange, but she couldn’t remember where, so she asked casually,

    “Is there anything found in it?”

    Qu Zile shook his head, if he had said it earlier. He is a person who doesn’t play around.

    Lin You nodded, and could only secretly suppress the strange feeling in her heart. Soon, the two men restored the mourning hall to its original state, and Lin You helped to put on the woman’s clothes again.

    “Do you need to organize the things in the room?” Lin You pointed to the bedroom.

    “Yes.” Qu Zile and Zheng Buyan are both old players. They have their own way of searching rooms and can quickly restore things.

    Lin You nodded, the two went to tidy up, she took off the gloves, took a piece of yellow paper that was going to be burned for the old lady, wrapped it, and put it in her arms. Looking at the incense next to her, she took three more and lit them, bowed and inserted them into the incense burner.

    “Oh, it’s alright, sister.” Qu Zile just came out of the master bedroom, and saw Lin You still burning incense there. “That’s right. If I were a ghost, I wouldn’t want to kill you.”

    “?” It had been a while since Lin You burned the incense when they came out. Lin You was looking at the paper figurines, and when she heard Qu Zile’s words, she subconsciously looked at the incense she had just burned.

    Two short and one long.

    Lin You remembered that a Taoist from a zombie movie said before that, being a person is most afraid of three long and two short, and burning incense is most taboo to be two short and one long. Seeing Xiang like this, Lin You clapped her hand and called herself a jinx.

    “Don’t be afraid, we are all here, what are we to be afraid of?” Qu Zile smiled.

    After hearing what he said, Lin You suddenly felt that it was quite reasonable. Although there was still a lump in her heart, it was not so uncomfortable.

    “I’ve finished here, where do I go next?”

    Qu Zile thought for a while, and then looked at Zheng Buyan again. Zheng Buyan glanced at him and said,

    “I don’t care, it’s all right.” “No, bro.” Qu Zile happily hooked his lips, “You won’t get the full map mission, right?”

    Zheng Buyan looked at him coldly, but said nothing.

    “Hahaha, forget it, that’s how the boss is being taken care of by the system.” Qu Zile pretended to comfort, looked at Lin You again, and then greeted her, “Oh, you still don’t know the whole map mission.”

    Lin You shook her head.

    “The task of the whole dungeon is to find out what happened in this place, who the boss is, and then solve it, which is equivalent to a map exploration rate of more than 80%.” Qu Zile pointed out a finger to himself and Lin You 

“And often the main line is part of this section, so the boss can follow anyone, and it doesn’t matter where you start.”

    Lin You thought about her task and nodded, indicating that she understood.

    “Of course, newcomers are usually tasked with survival tasks. There are also difficult dungeons where semi-novices who pass one or two levels are also given survival tasks. Then… tell your brother what your task is. “

    The pitted Lin You saw that he was getting closer and closer, and took a few steps back,

    “It’s not survival.”

    Since she was pitted, Lin You also kept an eye on it and only said that it was not survival. As for the specific task, she would not tell.

    Qu Zile nodded, not caring about Lin You’s concealment.

    “Well, the difficulty of this dungeon isn’t sky-high yet, I hope you can survive.”

    Lin You nodded, a hand suddenly placed on her shoulder, startling her all over, and without looking back, she ran towards Qu Zile.

    “Pfft… um, cough, I’m sorry.” The person behind her was Fang Nian who had dominated the team from the beginning. “I didn’t know it would scare you. Seeing that your physical fitness is not bad, I thought that your mentality was strong.”

    Lin You covered her heart that was going up and down, her face was very stiff, and she rationally told herself not to be angry at a big boss. But she was still a little bit angry.

    “Well, I’m sorry to scare you.” Fang Nian apologized solemnly, and then took out two talismans from his pocket. “This is a breath-holding talisman I made myself, which can hide your breath from the ghost’s sensing range within five minutes. Just treat it as an apology.”

    Lin You: What is the backbone? I’m not going to die!

    Lin You, who stretched out her hand to accept the spell, suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth, and then noticed Luo Qing’s disdainful look behind Fang Nian.

    Naturally, Lin You didn’t care. A full man doesn’t know that a hungry man is hungry. An exorcism charm store costs 100 points. She was already frightened. Is it not up  to others who made her embarrassed to compensate her? What’s the matter with this lady?

    Seeing Lin You accept it, Fang Nian stepped over the threshold and walked in, nodding at Qu Zile and Zheng Buyan.

    “It seems that you came first. Is there anything wrong with this old lady?” Fang Nian asked.

    Seeing that he asked so openly, Lin You turned to look at Qu Zile and Zheng Buyan, not thinking that they would tell Fang Nian the news so easily.

    “Well, there’s nothing in the master bedroom. There’s nothing wrong with the corpse, but the coffin is a little wrong.” Qu Zile didn’t give Lin You face at all, and said to Fang Nian, “Look at this coffin, this color, expressing happiness. There is a wedding dress under the corpse.”

    Fang Nian nodded, he did not go to the master bedroom, he just approached the coffin and pushed open the corner of the coffin lid, and glanced inside casually. Most bosses don’t show up so quickly. If you are told who the boss is from the beginning, it’s very unfortunate… It’s often the boss and you crushing the game.

    Instead of encountering this kind of high risk game, most people prefer this kind of exploration game.

    At this glance, Fang Nian’s brows twitched, and then he said to the three of Lin You:

    “This old lady, this is what she looked like at the beginning?”

    Qu Zile nodded without hesitation:

    “She was like this when we came here.”

    Fang Nian closed the lid of the coffin again and said to Zheng Buyan,

    “The three of us just went to the Xu family’s ancestral hall and found their family tree.”

    Fang Young said this sentence casually, and did not mention the attack on them by the stiff and pale servants around the ancestral hall.

    “The old lady’s mourning hall should not be so shabby. After all, she is also the step-wife that the Xu family is married to.”

    “Second wife?” Lin You said.

    Fang Nian ignored her, but glanced around and sighed.

    “Master Xu has three sons and two daughters in total, and the eldest aunt of the Xu family, the uncle and the second master are the children of the previous wife, the third master is the son of a concubine, and the second lady is the daughter of the step-wife.”

    Lin You understood and wondered why the aunt of the Xu family was so happy after the death of the old lady, but another question came, can’t she hide her happiness? Does she have to be so upfront with it?

    Even if the care between stepmother and stepdaughter is bad, this is ancient times, and the word filial piety is bigger than heaven.

    Regardless of Lin You’s doubts, Fang Nian continued unhurriedly:

    “This step-wife is said to be as beautiful as a flower and has a pure temperament…and, the most important thing is that this step-wife is only 36 years old.”

    36-year-old and mourning?
