After returning to his room, Li Yang did not lie back on the bed to catch up on his sleep, but opened the window and climbed out.
After what happened last night, most players would choose to sleep in their rooms for a while, so she could take this opportunity to go look for the body of the female receptionist.
Like the people who died two nights ago, the female receptionist's body was lying face down on the ground, with large pools of blood flowing out from under her body. Some of the blood flowed into the uncleaned areas, staining the thick white snow red.
"well."
Li Yang sighed softly and squatted beside the corpse.
[What's going on? Coming here quietly just to take a look at the corpse?]
[My wife must be suspicious about her death. The night before, the front desk lady reminded my wife not to go near the window, yet she ended up dying at the hands of a ghost who jumped from the building. There must be something fishy going on!]
[So what? There's no surveillance here. If you want to know how she died, why not just ask the people in her livestream?]
[How can I ask this in a dungeon?]
At this time, Li Yang took out the drawn talisman paper from his bag and selected it for a while before finding one and sticking it on the back of the corpse's head.
As her lips opened and closed, clouds of mist began to float around her. They gathered together as if with consciousness, and condensed into a ball of white mist in front of Li Yang.
The next second, a picture appeared in the center of the fog!
The picture shows the dark corridor of the main building. The flashlight flickers around, and a lowered voice says, "It's a bit scary to come out at night..."
The audience can tell that it is a woman's voice. Combined with the corpse underground, it is not difficult to guess that the fog shows the perspective of the female receptionist.
[Shit, could this be a memory of the deceased before his death?!]
[Recall again, "I don't know the mysterious arts" and "I only know how to draw amulets"]
[Wait a minute, why haven't I heard of the mysterious technique she used? ]
[I've heard of this before. It's said there's a mysterious technique that allows one to see the memories of the deceased before they die. However, that requires gouging out the deceased's eyeballs and soaking them in a special liquid. Using talisman paper directly... I've never heard of it.]
[I've also heard that the Ghost Hunting Bureau seems to have this method, which can more accurately identify the murderer. Could it be that they have developed a more convenient method, such as the one used by Du Ruo? Is she actually a ghost hunter from the Ghost Hunting Bureau?]
Hunting conspiracy.
Cheng Yan and Yao Facai looked at the live broadcast and the heated discussion in the comments, each one more frustrated than the other.
"Using talisman paper to peek into a corpse's memory? Haha, I'm crazy."
"The Ghost Hunters didn't know there was such a convenient method... Then what about us gouging out people's eyes before? Does that mean we're disrespecting corpses?"
Cheng Yan's smile was so fake that the dark circles under his eyes almost reached his cheeks. "I can't do it anymore. Why hasn't Captain Fu come back yet? Let him bear these shocks. I can't handle it."
Yao Facai wasn't in much better condition either. Her face was tired and it was obvious that she hadn't gotten enough sleep.
She glanced at Cheng Yan resentfully, "It's all your fault for forcing me to come and see you. You've made me stay up late these past few days!"
"...Didn't you insist on asking me?"
"Then why don't you invite more people to come and see it? We can't be the only ones surprised, right?"
"No, no." Cheng Yan decisively shook his head and refused, "This woman is something special. We can't let other detachments find out and snatch her away from us!"
"That's right. So why hasn't Fu Xiuyuan come back yet? Did he die in the dungeon?"
"So go check out his live stream! His enemies are also in that instance, so don't let anything get into trouble."
"Tsk, we're reading the deceased's memories here, who wants to see Fu Xiuyuan's ugly face?"
"...It's a truly moving story."
*
The fog is displayed in the screen.
The female receptionist was probably searching for clues in the main building at night. She left the room and walked to the stairs, where she heard hurried footsteps coming from downstairs.
The scene changed, and the male student appeared at the corner of the stairs, panting.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked in a puzzled tone.
The boy shook his head, took out a compressed biscuit from his pocket and handed it to him, "Would you like some?"
"No thanks."
"Oh...are you looking for clues? Together?"
Hearing this, the female receptionist hesitated a little, but finally nodded, "Okay."
The two went to the fifth floor together and searched for clues in different rooms.
At this time, the same sound of heavy objects falling to the ground as a few nights ago was heard again from downstairs.
The female receptionist subconsciously moved away from the window.
After a while, the male student's voice rang out at the door: "There is a note in the drawer of my room, but it seems to be wet, and I can't see clearly what is written on it."
"Hmm? Let me take a look then."
The perspective began to move, heading towards the room where the male student was, and the boy simply stood at the doorway, pointing at the table at the foot of the bed, "Right there, first drawer."
In the picture, the table is the closest place to the window in the entire room, but it is still some distance away and not dangerous, so the female receptionist walked over without too much suspicion.
The drawer was opened, and before I could see what was inside, the view suddenly shook. The female receptionist seemed to have tripped or been pushed by someone, and the scene was very chaotic.
When she regained consciousness, she looked up and found herself lying on the window, and the ghost who had jumped from the building with a bloody face appeared upside down in front of her, and a shrill laugh came from his invisible mouth.
Then the perspective began to move rapidly upwards, the terrifying laughter surrounded the ears like a shadow, the panoramic view of the manor was taken in, and everything downstairs became insignificant.
Then, a ghost standing on the rooftop appeared on the screen, getting farther and farther away from the camera. With the sound of the wind whistling, it jumped down.
The view rotated, and the swept ground quickly enlarged. Even the gaps between the tiles began to become clear, and the traces of the two players who had died earlier disappeared without a trace.
Finally, with a loud bang, the screen went completely black, followed by another loud bang.
Everything returned to calm.
After reading this memory, Li Yang frowned slightly.
[Holy crap, I can really see memories from before death! Isn't Du Ruo too strong? This is definitely not just an ordinary mystic!]
[I had expected her, but I never thought a player would kill another player with their own hands!]
[That male student is really not a good person. When he was in the basement, he acted as if those two boxes were all the food he had. Where did the compressed biscuits come from?]
[Hey, I just found that boy's livestream. Guess what? This guy isn't a newbie entering the dungeon!]
[ah?]
Most of the people in his livestream were followers of him. This wasn't his first time in the dungeon; he'd even received a note with a strange clue, presumably a reward for clearing the previous dungeon. He'd already been looking for clues on his first night in the manor, so he probably knew more than any other player.
[Wait a minute, so what you're saying is, he bought so much food because he knew there were starving ghosts in this dungeon, and he also knew there were well-fed ghosts, so he deliberately let that Mr. Xu steal his food so he could take the opportunity to leave the basement and return to the main building?]
[That's exactly what I mean! I also watched his livestream, and it's just Old Six! He figured out the clues long ago, knowing that the starving ghosts and the well-fed ghosts would appear in turn. And Mr. Xu had asked him for something before, and his attitude was rude. Old Six has been holding a grudge and waiting for a chance to get revenge!]
[What about the guy who died last night? Did he provoke him too?]
He knew what the item was, and part of his reason for returning to the main building was to steal it while most people were in the basement, so he could quietly clear the level. Unexpectedly, he ran into the receptionist who was also on her way to the fifth floor to look for clues. He was afraid someone might get there first or leak the information, so he decided to act preemptively.
[...What's going on here?]
