Chapter 26 Gate of Resentment

    After hearing Fang Nian’s words, Lin You subconsciously glanced at the coffin. The red lacquer coffin was placed there so quietly, and the face of the old lady inside also appeared in Lin You’s mind.

    It is said to be 36 years old, but it looks like a 66-year-old face.

    Lin You shuddered a little. What is the reason for a middle-aged woman’s youth to be consumed so quickly?

    After Fang Nian finished speaking, Qu Zile did not take advantage of it, and added some information. It’s give and take between the two sides, and the atmosphere is still warm.

    The teammates that Lin You met in the first game were all tense. When she saw such a scene, she was a little surprised, but when two old players were talking, how could she interrupt? She can only suppress her surprise, listen and learn more of the unspoken rules among players.

    If possible, Lin You sighed, she would never want to meet a player like Chen Cong again. Speaking of Chen Cong, Lin You turned her attention to Luo Qing again. The female player didn’t seem to like her very much. At this moment, Luo Qing was also listening carefully to Fang Nian and Qu Zile. Looking back, but  Lin You had already turned her eyes away.

    Lin You felt that this game should never meet a player like Chen Cong. After all, some people control the field, and the difficulty of the game has also increased, so everyone needs to agree in the outside world first.

    Speaking of the difficulty of the game, Lin You looked at the six people present, all of whom were experienced players. This dungeon is indeed much more complicated than Lin You’s first dungeon. At least the characters are not easy to maintain, and the relationship between the NPCs is also very confusing.

    The most important thing is that there are many old players, and the tasks of so many old players are not the same, but the tasks, Lin You estimated, are also classified according to everyone’s strength level.

    Fang Nian and Zheng Buyan should be in the same level, Qu Zile, Luo Qing, and the fifth player who woke up, Liu Qishan, are in the first level, she and Chen Cong are in the same level, and there are newbies below. Compared with the two-level division of the first game, this dungeon is divided into four levels in terms of strength, which is really unfriendly to newcomers.

    Fortunately, everyone’s minds are clear enough, and there are no unreasonable people. Lin You had a little more confidence in this copy.

    After the exchange between the two sides, Fang Nian took his people and prepared to leave. Lin You thought the three of them would stay here and act together.

    “Oh, that’s right.” Fang Nian stepped over the threshold, took out a piece of rice paper from his pocket, and handed it to Lin You. “This is a map. I’m not good at drawing it, but maybe it can help you.”

    Lin You was stunned, and reached out to take it. Seeing this, Fang Nian waved his hand and left.

    “This…” Lin You looked at Zheng Buyan, and then at Qu Zile, wondering why Fang Nian was so generous.

    “Just take it when it’s given to you, don’t feel embarrassed.” Qu Zile spread his hands, “I can guarantee that he has at least three maps in his sleeve. Anyway, this kind of thing can only be used to sell favors to you newcomers.”

    “For a newcomer like me, Fang Nian still needs my favor?” Lin You was a little incredulous.

    “All kinds of organizations will absorb new blood, and don’t all the old players come from the new players? These maps are given, if you invest in a future boss, wouldn’t it make a huge profit? ” Qu Zile said it is very reasonable.

    Lin You spread out the map in her hand. Although it was a little rough, it was really more than a little bit better than her own doodles. But it doesn’t matter, Lin You still accepted Fang Nian’s favor, no matter what the person’s original intention was.

    “Hey, miss, don’t watch it now.” Qu Zile put his hand in front of Lin You and waved, “Are you afraid of getting lost if you follow us? Besides, don’t worry, I don’t think you will become a boss.”

    Lin You Turning his head to look at Qu Zile, he just thought how could this person be so rude?

    “Why didn’t they come with us?” Lin You asked rhetorically, pressing down on his anger.

    She has gotten along with these old players along the way, and she has a lot of fun and conversations. Although she has her own careful thoughts, he can always answer Lin You’s questions in trivial matters. Of course, this also has something to do with his mouth being unable to stop.

    “Three people walking together is almost the limit. Unless it is a very small map, it is easy to attract the boss’s attention if there are too many people.” Qu Zile explained.

    Lin You nodded to show that she was taught. It seemed that she had a problem with her first copy. It is wrong to think that people are vulnerable to attacks when they are alone.

    Thinking that, the three of them had slowly left the door of the small yard, Lin You thought about it all the way, and subconsciously followed along with them. And in a blink of an eye, they went to the living room again. She couldn’t help looking at them suspiciously,

    “Are you going to the outer courtyard?”

    “I plan to see the corpse we transported.” Qu Zile pointed in one direction, “I’m afraid we won’t have enough time to go to the inner courtyard first.”

    Lin You nodded, it’s understandable  to first go far and then near. Just as she was about to continue following, Zheng Buyan turned to look at her:

    “After the corpse in the outer courtyard was investigated, we will go back to rest, it’s not safe late at night.”

    Lin You was at a loss, so what?

    Quzile hurried out to round the game:

    “The dungeon is in the chronological order of entry, and the degree of danger gradually increases. The longer you stay in the dungeon, the greater the degree of danger, but there is one exception…”

    Lin You listened carefully to his explanation, “Every midnight and early morning, if you stay outside, Then it’s hard to say what happens. Therefore, if you go to the outer courtyard, it will be a little tight to get back to your residence.”

    Qu Zile’s face became indifferent, and Lin You finally understood what he meant. That is to say, if she followed to the outer courtyard, then they are not responsible for the safety of her return, right?

    Lin You figured this out, and turned her attention to the two of them. The two old players smiled coldly, but the indifference in their eyes was exactly the same. This is a personal choice, just like Lin You accidentally started a side quest in the first instance, although there are two people here, but Lin You can only rely on himself.

    “I’ll come back by myself, don’t worry.” Lin You gritted her teeth, she had a hunch that going to the outer courtyard this time would be helpful to her.

    Hearing Lin You’s choice, Qu Zile’s smile deepened, and even Zheng Buyan looked directly at Lin You. There are not many new players with such courage, let alone a girl.

    Now that Lin You made a decision, the other two stopped persuading her, and just quietly led the way.

    The small courtyard where Qu Zile and Zheng Buyan were going was really remote. When Lin You saw the two doors locked by huge locks, she was immediately glad that she had followed them. Sure enough, just like Sister Qin and Brother Wang, Zheng Buyan didn’t know how he did it, the lock was opened, and Zheng Buyan was quietly thrown to the ground with a thick chain attached.

    “Wait.” Zheng Buyan didn’t immediately push the door in, but glanced at Lin You, “There might be a fight.”

    Lin You was moved by the big boss’s sudden concern, and the door opened. Lin You stood against the wall, the refreshing coolness of the wall spread to her body through her thin clothes.

    Unfortunately, the fighting scene did not happen as expected, and the three of them entered the place where the corpses were parked smoothly. There is no spiritual body like in the old lady’s courtyard. Five dark coffins were neatly placed in the room, and Lin You’s nose even smelled a stench of decay.

    This time, there was no time for Lin You to prepare. Qu Zile pushed the coffin away. After confirming that there was no danger, he put on rubber gloves and directly touched the slightly decomposed corpse. Zheng Buyan took over the next coffin directly. Just after they had almost finished examining the first corpse, Lin You shivered and put on the gloves that she had in her arms, and pulled Qu Zile’s hand that wanted to examine the third corpse.

    “Wait, wait.” Lin You didn’t dare to speak loudly, but felt that if her mouth were opened wider, she couldn’t help but spit it out. “I, I’ll come.”

    Qu Zile glanced at Lin You, and after helping to remove the lid of the coffin completely, he went to the fifth corpse. Zheng Buyan had already checked the fourth corpse.

    Lin You calmed down, this was indeed not the first time she touched a corpse, but it had been a long time since her first experience at seeing it, not to mention that the situation on the old lady’s side was much better. The corpse was a male, and it seemed that he had been killed. There was a wound on the neck that was done with a knife. It was sewn up with thread. Lin You first checked its clothes pocket and confirmed that it was nothing, and then looked at it again. The body, seeing Qu Zile next to him even put his hand into the abdominal cavity of the other one, he endured to open the stitched wound on his neck, and then…

    “It’s all fatal.”

    “The time of death is about the same.”

    … …

    Lin You hadn’t completely checked all of them, and the two bosses who had finished and had already gathered, then began to analyze the information they had just collected one by one, without even taking off the gloves. After listening to the boss’s analysis, Lin You ended the torture. The two were not only bold, but also had a better job completion rate than Lin You. Therefore, some of the extracted information was not discovered by Lin You.

    “All these relatives of the Xu family died in the same period of time?” Lin You concluded that Qu Zile and Zheng Buyan didn’t speak either, listening to her analysis. Lin You is also not timid, there are big bosses here. If she doesn’t hurry to study, it will be too late when the boss arrives.

    “Is this the only one?” Qu Zile asked rhetorically.

    “Also, the Xu family has a conspiracy? I think the Xu family did it.” Lin You thought about those routines, and said uncertainty. And gave Qu Zile a helpless look.

    “It is indeed related, but I’m not sure it was done by the Xu family. Maybe it’s revenge?” Qu Zile spread his hands, and then patted Lin You on the shoulder. “Do you think this has to do with you?”

    Lin You did not know, she shook her head embarrassingly, the eyes of the two big men put a lot of pressure on her.

    “You are also a relative of the Xu family.” Zheng Buyan said, “And you are a relative of the lin family.”

    …

    After Zheng Buyan finished saying that, he stopped talking, looked at the sky again, and told Lin You to hurry up. Go back or the time will run out. Lin You’s face was pale after hearing what Zheng Buyan said at the time, but now it’s a little better, but her face is a little ugly. Go back slowly, stick to the wall, walk in the shadows, and resolutely do not expose herself to the open space.

    As for Zheng Buyan and Qu Zile, they were much more open-minded than Lin You. It’s true that Lin You made them look at her a little better, but so what? It’s a good thing to be able to mention a few words, and there will be no more, so they clapped their hands and went home.

    Lin You passed through the living room from the outer courtyard and turned to the inner courtyard. In the inner courtyard, a large garden was built, and even running water was drawn in. A small river was in the garden, and the water was not waist-deep. And now, on the arch bridge of the small river, the person standing upright, is not the young master of Xu Fu that Lin You saw during the day?

    Lin You swallowed her saliva. When she and Qu Zile separated, Qu Zile joked that he wanted her to hurry up, otherwise she would have to be careful about encountering dirty things. Lin You knew that Quzi talked a lot, but she didn’t know that he was a crow’s mouth.

    Lin You originally wanted to turn around and leave, but unfortunately she also knew this way, so she took out the map given by Fang Nian and took a look. Can’t delay any longer, Lin You found that as time passed, mist slowly rose in the house.

    He took out the two breath-holding charms Fang Nian had given her from the pocket. Thinking of Fang Nian’s five minutes, Lin You left the shadow in the corner and slowly walked to the bridge.

    “Dead, immortal, dead, immortal…”

    Lin You looked at the talisman paper held in her hand, emitting a faint light, and calmed down, but unexpectedly heard the young master muttering to himself.

    Is he still alive?

    Lin You stared at the eldest young master. He was getting closer and closer. The eldest young master had blue veins in his hands and held the railing fiercely, staring at his reflection in the water.

    “Ahhhh~”

    The eldest young master fell straight down, Lin You hurried a few steps to check the situation, reached the railing of the bridge, and looked down…
