Chapter 31 Gate of Resentment

    Chen Cong put the knife on the waist of the third steward, and continued to inquire about the second lady. After all, the points of the side quests are not taken for nothing, right?

    In places that Chen Cong didn’t see, the third steward didn’t have the slightest bit of fear on his face, but the words he spoke were indeed full of tension, panic, fear, and other emotions.

    “You said that the people of the Xu family relied on an Evil Dragon to suppress their luck, so they need to sacrifice a child who has the blood of the Xu family every few years?”

    Chen Cong refined the words of the third steward and concluded that something was wrong with the Xu family.

    “So, what does this have to do with the Chen family?” Chen Cong didn’t understand this either.

    “This, it is said that there was a powerful Taoist from the Chen family hundreds of years ago, and he was the one who sealed the Evil Flood Dragon in the Xu residence.” The third steward explained, “In the past few years, there were very few direct descendants in the family, so…”

    ” Just sacrificed Miss Xu Er?” Chen Cong said.

    “Sir, of course not.” The third steward shook his head violently, “That evil dragon not only eats people, but even the soul will be eaten clean. It’s really a sacrifice for the second lady, where is she still making waves in the Xu residence? .”

    “What’s going on?” Chen Cong didn’t understand.

    “This, it’s also…” The third steward stammered. Chen Cong was impatient with his dawdling appearance, and he used a little strength in his hand to open the third steward’s waist. The skin and flesh of the three stewards, the third steward, was quick to tell the bottom line of the Xu family:

    “Ji madam has two young masters besides the second young lady, this, this is also the blood of the Xu family’s first branch. For  the Xu family’s luck, he will be sacrificed.”

    Chen Cong thought for a while and nodded. This Xu family is much dirtier than the old man himself. Chen Cong immediately asked:

    “Then why did the two girls die again?”

    “The second girl did not want to get married, so she threw herself into the well.”

    Just as Chen Cong and the third steward were asking and answering the question, the young girl Xu Er girl was alive. Before Chen Cong stopped in this small courtyard, he only felt that his whole body was cold, which made people a little terrified, and gave birth to a bit of retreat.

    “Master Chen, are we going to get rid of the ghost of the second young lady?” The third steward turned around and faced Chen Cong, his weak and delicate face showed a bit of flattery: “It’s true that the blood is thicker than water.  As expected of the blood of the Chen family.”

    The words of the third steward brought Chen Cong out of that fearful mood, but she was just a female ghost, so what was he afraid of? Chen Cong told himself that he had seen Brother Wang beat up many female ghosts with his own eyes, relying on the long stick.

    “Of course.” Chen Cong withdrew the knife, “I don’t know the situation of the Xu family, otherwise I wouldn’t have to offend you. I’m really sorry for today. “

After that he put the knife through this chest. After confirming that the third steward was dead, Chen Cong took out the long stick magic weapon from his space, turned and walked towards Miss Xu Er’s small courtyard.

    It is true that he can not kill the third steward, but getting rid of the ghost of the second lady is only a side task. His real task is to complete the things that the ancestors of the Chen family have not completed. Now I don’t know what this matter is, but Chen Cong guesses that it is to get rid of the evil dragon. (TN: i am confused as well didn’t he already kill this steward two times ahhh ….. ρ(- ω -、)ヾ( ̄ω ̄; )

    But the Evil Flood Dragon is something that the Xu family uses to suppress luck. The Xu family would rather use the flesh and blood of their descendants to feed the Evil Flood Dragon rather than destroy it, so the fact that they have special abilities must not be known to the people of the Xu family. The second lady’s side is a special case and can cooperate, because it seems that she also hates this kind of behavior of the Xu family. The second lady’s purpose is to save the life of the second young master of the Xu family, that is, Xu Zhixing.

    After Chen Cong analyzed his task, he felt that he could cooperate with the second lady, but absolutely not with the Xu family. Then, as the third steward of the Xu family, naturally he must die, and he cannot be allowed to rat him out.

    The moment he opened the courtyard door, Chen Cong clearly heard the prompt from the system:

    “Ding Dong, you have started a side quest: Eliminate the evil spirit, the second Miss Xu (Xu Leqi), reward 5000 points.”

    5000!

    Chen Cong’s eyes widened slightly. After understanding the meaning of the points, Chen Cong turned around decisively, but it was too late. He just opened the gate of the small courtyard and it slammed shut, no matter how much he pushed it, there was no way to push it open.

    The girl in the blue dress stood indifferently by the ancient well in the small courtyard, looking at the person who suddenly broke in, panicking and wanting to leave.

    After confirming that the door could not be opened, Chen Cong was extremely flustered. What is the concept of 5000 points? Even if his main quest is completed, he will only have 1,000 points. This side quest is five times that of the main quest. It is so dangerous… If he knew it earlier, it would not have come…

    “Descendants of the Chen family?” The girl’s voice rang in Chen Cong’s ear, and when Chen Cong turned around, he saw a girl standing three steps away from him. Although she looked no different from ordinary people, Chen Cong couldn’t lie to himself. His palms were already wet with sweat, and he swallowed his saliva:

    “Hello, Second Miss Xu?” 

The girl did not speak, her dark pupils stared at Chen Cong intently.

    “I, i know that you are all trapped by an Evil Flood Dragon. Therefore, the ancestors asked me to help you eliminate the evil dragon.” Chen Cong’s brain began to spin rapidly, “We, you see, we are all on the same road.”

    “Destroy the Evil Flood Dragon?” The girl’s blushing lips spit out this sentence, Chen Cong heard that there was something, and was about to make persistent efforts to continue to persuade her. It’s a big deal, he didn’t do the side quest, didn’t he?

    “Destroy me???” The girl in green clothes changed her words, her black eyes suddenly turned scarlet, her small mouth also had a pair of fangs, her slender hands had some scales, and her nails went directly at Chen Cong’s chest.

    Chen Cong didn’t know how the female ghost could change, but Chen Cong had secretly defended himself, so when the second girl Xu attacked, she directly put the long stick in front of her and planned to use the long stick to block the attack. But the long stick was already torn apart when it touched the ghost claw. Chen Cong could only watch as his heart was pulled out, and then the girl bit down…

    After Chen Cong entered the yard, the fallen third steward slowed down. He stood up slowly, pulled out the knife inserted into his heart, and looked at the bloodstains on it with a little pity:

    “It’s a pity, I finally found a body that can accommodate my soul.”

    Holding the knife, the third steward left. When he got to the wall of the courtyard, he flew to the wall with one hand, and witnessed the scene of Chen Cong being killed and even eaten. Looking at him, he couldn’t help laughing. A contaminated magic weapon was actually intended to be used to deal with evil spirits? Very cute.

    In the eyes of the third steward, the  resentful male spirit on the long stick was roaring and cursing this man named Chen Cong to death. There will also be to protect this man.

    The devoured meal of the second Miss Xu below gave the third steward unexpectedly a little appetite.

    He is also very hungry, and the third steward is a little aggrieved. The food in the dungeon is full of yin, and he used to eat it just like chewing wax, not to mention now that he has lost his sense of taste, let alone think about it. Therefore, the third steward with a shriveled mouth missed the sweet pastry taste that suddenly appeared in his mouth in the middle of the night.

    Well, who is it? Hide his sense of taste?

    When Chen Cong’s accident happened, Lin You didn’t know about it. After coming out of the eldest lady’s courtyard, Lin You, who hesitated again and again, went to the outer courtyard. She has been investigating in the inner court during this time, and there is really too little useful information in the outer court, so even if it is to learn from each other’s strengths, she should go.

    This time, she happened to meet Fang Nian’s team. They were still in the same configuration as last night, two men and one woman, in fact, they were not willing to be together all the time, but they were both from the servant’s house, and they lived close together, so they formed a team on the way. Anyway, there is Fang Nian, the lubricating agent, and the other two old players also think it’s pretty good.

    “Is this fate?” Fang Nian smiled the moment he saw Lin You. “How’s Miss Lin?”

    At first, Lin You didn’t have a good impression of Fang Nian. She didn’t like this kind of slick person. Relatively speaking, Lin You liked her own way more. But you can’t  hit the smiling face. Yesterday, Lin You used a breath-holding charm given by Fang Nian. At this moment, Lin You naturally greeted him with a good voice.

    “Hello, Mr. Fang.”

    “Why don’t i see the other two?” Fang Nian said, “Are you the only one investigating?”

    “We just happened to meet yesterday.” As soon as Lin You said these words, Fang Nian understood. Of course Luo Qing and Liu Qishan also understood. They are not in a team, they just happened to meet. After understanding this, Luo Qing’s face unconsciously revealed a hint of self-satisfaction.

    Lin You actually saw it, and didn’t bother to say anything, as she planned to leave quickly. The time at night is also very precious, you must know that it is not convenient to investigate after the early morning.

    “Wait, Miss Lin, do you want to share information?” Fang Nian stopped Lin You. His words made Lin You feel a little weird. A big guy wants to share with herself? ? ?

    “Wait, Brother Fang!” Before Lin You could speak, Luo Qing was the first to interrupt Fang Nian’s words, “She’s a newcomer, what can she share with us?”

    “We can exchange!” Lin You thinks, not arguing for steamed bread. “Since you spoke, let me tell you my own news first.”

    After saying a word, Lin You deliberately winked at Luo Qing, making her uncomfortable.

    Fang Nian stopped Luo Qing who was about to speak. He admired this newcomer Lin You a little, bold, careful, and confident. These are rare qualities in the world of horror games. What’s more, she said that she will go  first, which also proved that she did not intend to take advantage of her own side.

    “Tonight, the eldest young master is going to bury the five corpses held by the guards in the side yard.”

    As soon as Lin You said this, Luo Qing’s indignant face became complacent. With such a big event as the death of the second master, how could these old players not go and see it? In fact, except for the two newcomers, a man and a woman who were still alive, all the old players were there when the old man and the eldest young master were talking, and even used props to hide their ears. Otherwise, Lin You would not have been able to infiltrate the court with those lame concealment techniques.

    “We already knew, you…”

    Fang Nian brought a fan from somewhere and knocked on Luo Qing’s arm, preventing her from continuing to speak. From Fang Nian’s point of view, everyone is a pitiful person who was forced to be drawn into this horror game, and the tasks are different. If you can, help as much as you can. Where do you get so many twists and turns?

    At first, due to the dispute between Lin You and Chen Cong, Fang Nian did not have a good impression of the two. But he met Lin You in these two nights, and Lin You’s performance in these two nights not only washed away the dirty water that Chen Cong poured on Lin You saying that she didn’t do anything, but also made Fang Nian feel good about this little girl.. Therefore, he could not understand why Luo Qing had such great malice towards this newcomer.

    “In the ancestral hall…”

    “The old lady gave birth to two sons and a daughter, all of whom died. The two sons died prematurely, and the situation of the young lady who was left behind is not clear.” Lin You looked at Fang Nianzhen and planned to exchange information with her like this, regardless of the information she said, which is what they already know. Lin You didn’t wait for him to finish, and immediately added another piece of information.

    Lin You’s action made Luo Qing’s face very good-looking, and Fang Nian’s eyes showed some genuine gentleness.

    “I didn’t know about this, thank you Lin You.” Fang Nian cupped his hands, and after seeing what he had done, the little girl opposite Lin You showed complacent eyes and brows. Fang Nian, an old man who had seen strong winds and waves, couldn’t help but feel very funny.

    “To imprison this evil dragon in the ancestral hall of the Xu family, the eldest young master should have sent the corpses of the side branches of the Xu family to feed the evil dragon.” Fang Nian continued to say what he had not finished, and then paused, “Of course. , Based on this, I have some guesses.”

    “I have read the Xu family’s genealogy, and the direct line is almost dead. Only the Xu family’s twins and the second young master of the second wife are left. The side branches are probably dead, and feeding this evil dragon can make it fall asleep, but the effect is from strong to weak: direct line boy, direct line girl, side boy, side girl. These four are divided.”

    Lin You listened . Fang Nian’s analysis was a little tight at first, because she was considered to have Xu family’s bloodline in the background of this dungeon, but when she heard that the effect of her bloodline was not strong, she relaxed a little bit.

    Fang Nian looked at Lin You and continued to say that he didn’t mind to mention a little more about to a younger generation:

    “The two parents and children of Mrs. Ji were probably sacrificed early, and they lasted until the eldest son of the Xu family grew up. I haven’t read the names of the step-wife’s parents and children in the genealogy. Recently, looking at the situation of the Xu family, this evil dragon is about to wake up again, but there is no one in the Xu family, so they sent a security guard to escort us back. It has the blood of the Xu family. If that’s the case, Lin You, you have to be careful.”

    Lin You’s heart that had just relaxed just now started to beat again, yes it is indeed the case.     Fang Nian watched Lin You’s face change, and couldn’t help but feel amused, and then reassured:

    “Don’t be afraid, your opponent is just a human being. It is much better than an invisible and intangible ghost.”

With a smile that was uglier than crying, this comfort was real, but during this period of time, she was in the Xu residence for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Wouldn’t it be easy for the Xu residents to deal with her? ? ?
