Xia Qi listened to Meng Po's excited speech with an expressionless face, and said very firmly that he would go out today.
"Then you should come back early and don't miss the guards coming." Meng Po advised earnestly, fearing that Xia Qi would miss the chance to become the Night Emperor's concubine.
After Meng Po left, Xia Qi began to pack his clothes, planning to go out and not come back the whole day.
It is impossible to try on shoes, it is impossible to try them in this lifetime.
After Xia Qi cleaned up the room, he found that there was still one thing he couldn't deal with, and that was the Moon Goddess Lamp.
I don’t know what brand of battery this Luna Lamp uses, but it stayed lit up in the room all night and is still glowing and radiating heat.
Xia Qi touched the lampshade and found that the Luna Lamp was not a system item and could not be put into the system backpack.
"So... this is most likely a tool to pass the level?"
Xia Qi once remembered that at that time, the Earl's red diamond wedding ring could not be put into the backpack and could be snatched by other players.
Judging from the fact that the Luna Lamp cannot be put into the system backpack, even if the Luna Lamp is not a prop to pass the level, it is not something so simple that it can be thrown away randomly.
Unfortunately, the Moon Goddess Lamp is too big now, and Xia Qi can’t carry the lamp with him when he goes out.
"Since it's a prop for passing a level, can't it be made smaller?" Xia Qi complained.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the Moon Goddess in his arms suddenly burst into a dazzling halo. Then, the entire Moon Goddess lamp slowly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a fist-sized, round bead and fell on his bed.
this…
Although the Moon Goddess Lamp can understand human language and turn into small beads, which is very unscientific, Xia Qi, who had experienced being forcibly kidnapped to become the "Moon Goddess", now feels that anything is possible.
After putting the Moon Goddess Lamp into his pocket, Xia Qi took out a black coat and a black scarf from the closet, covered his face with them, put on a bamboo hat, and went out.
He sneaked up with his face covered, came to Sister Hong and Xiaoyu's residence, and knocked on the door.
“Crunch—”
After the door was opened, Xia Qi suddenly appeared at the door in full armor. Sister Hong was particularly surprised: "You are dressed like this... What are you going to do?"
Go and assassinate the Night Emperor
Xia Qi thought for a moment and explained, "The Tianji people know us. I dressed like this so that they can't recognize me."
"Oh, that's right. It seems I have to disguise myself as well." Sister Hong expressed her understanding, but after thinking for a moment, she asked again, "I heard that a Moon Goddess was chosen last night. Do you know who the Moon Goddess is?"
Xia Qi: “…”
Xia Qi: “I don’t know.”
Sister Hong felt that Xia Qi's voice was a little strange when he answered. However, because his entire face was covered, Sister Hong could not confirm his true thoughts for the time being, so she could only answer: "I went out last night while Xiaoyu was sleeping. Guess what I found?"
"What?"
Sister Hong sneaked out of the door and closed it carefully with her hands behind her back.
After they went out, she motioned for the two of them to talk while they walked.
"I found the old man's body by the river. There was a hole in his stomach, and his... thing was all broken."
When Xia Qi heard "that thing", he felt a little uncomfortable.
He quickly changed the subject and said, "The old man used to be a teacher. I suspect... these four female students were molested by him."
Thanks to his sister's sudden appearance, Xia Qi realized that the sister who appeared here was not the "sister" of the player who participated in the Rose Earl copy, but the sister who came to seek revenge on the old man.
Considering what the other three female students said, Xia Qi deduced that the other three female students were also ghosts who came to seek revenge.
"That's right, these ghosts were born because of him." Sister Hong agreed.
"Are all the people who enter the game guilty?" Xia Qi paused and asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time.
Sister Hong was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Yes."
Xia Qi sighed softly.
This was the first time he heard from other players that the Sin Game was used to execute sinners.
The old man molested female students outside the game, and the female students died of miscarriage or committed suicide due to disgrace, so he was identified as a sinner by the game.
In this copy, the game specially arranged four vengeful female student NPCs for the old man, causing him to die at the hands of the female student NPCs.
"Then you..." Xia Qi asked hesitantly.
Sister Hong looked solemn and said without disguising, "I killed someone. I was originally in a women's prison, but then I was inexplicably dragged into the sin game..."
Xia Qi was stunned.
Sister Hong is actually a murderer
No wonder she was so bold as to scold the NPC and sneak out alone in the middle of the night. When she mentioned the old man's corpse, she looked indifferent.
Looking at Xia Qi's surprised eyes, Sister Hong smiled bitterly: "I have already received the punishment I deserve."
wrong.
If Sister Hong is really guilty, then why don't ghosts come to seek revenge on her
Instead, a little girl appeared beside her and treated her as her own mother.
Xia Qi frowned and suppressed the doubts in his heart.
He had no intention of prying into other people’s private habits, so he changed the subject and said, “But why did the old man die first
Sister Hong shook her head and whispered, "I find it strange too. When we first met him, he seemed to have noticed something. His behavior was completely different from that of the others."
"Let's go check on the other teammates and make the next decision."
The two discussed for a while and decided to go find Li Ming who was being chased by the pregnant female zombie.
The reason why I planned to find Li Ming first was because Li Ming was not like the financial man and the white-faced man. He did not act completely according to the script. His initial state was very similar to that of the old man.
Li Ming's residence was not far from them. When Xia Qi and Hong Jie arrived at the street corner, they happened to see Li Ming crying for his parents not far away.
"Please let me go... Ahhh." Li Ming was lying beside a well, vomiting violently in pain.
Xia Qi and Sister Hong approached him. Li Ming was immersed in vomiting, but he seemed to have not noticed their arrival at all. He was still mumbling to the well: "I'm dying, can you let me drink a sip of water?"
Hearing Li Ming say that he wanted to drink water, Xia Qi lowered his head and looked into the well.
The bottom of the deep well was covered with pitch-black hair, and on those clumps of hair were many bloody and flesh-like flocs. Xia Qicai took a look and almost vomited.
"You haven't eaten or drunk anything all day?" Sister Hong suddenly asked.
When Li Ming heard his teammates' voices, he jumped up from the ground instantly. He put his hands on Xia Qi's calves and said, "Save me..."
He didn't dare to pull Sister Hong's legs, for fear that the female zombie would accuse him of cheating again.
"What happened?" Xia Qi shook his legs and threw the weak Li Ming out.
Li Ming rubbed his eyes. No tears could flow from his eyes anymore. They were open dryly and bloodshot.
He said to Xia Qi: "Yesterday I was chased by a female zombie for a whole day. At night, she suddenly turned into a pregnant woman again. I thought she was normal, so I followed her back home. Unexpectedly, this morning, she went crazy again..."
Li Ming covered his throat and made an unpleasant vomiting sound. He pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said, "I can't say it anymore. You can see for yourselves."
Xia Qi had a hunch that there was nothing good in the kitchen.
Sister Hong sneered, "That's just how bold you are."
After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to walk towards the kitchen. Xia Qi frowned and followed Sister Hong in.
However, after opening the door and seeing the scene in the kitchen, they both gasped at the same time.
The kitchen was in a mess, with bloodstains all over the walls and the floor. On the chopping board there were remains of what looked like baby's limbs and debris. In a large pot on the central stove, a strange red soup was cooking.
Xia Qi retreated silently.
As soon as the two returned to the yard, the female zombie was humming a song and passing by them carrying a dirty, broken bowl.
"Have you had breakfast? Do you want to stay at our house and eat with us?" The female zombie grinned at the two of them, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs. There were a few streaks of blood hanging between her teeth.
Xia Qi shook his head and quickly said, "No, we've already eaten."
Sister Hong also shook her head like a rattle and replied, "I'm not hungry either." She no longer complained about cooking for Xiaoyu.
Seeing that the two were not planning to leave any food for him, the female zombie gave Li Ming a weird smile: "Li Ming, don't worry, I'll get you some soup right away."
Li Ming was shaking all over and gave the two of them a pleading look.
The female zombie ignored Li Ming, continued humming, and went into the kitchen to serve him soup.
“I don’t want to drink, I can’t drink…” Li Ming’s face was pale and his lips were shaking violently.
Xia Qi squatted down in front of him and looked at him coldly: "Do you remember what bad things you have done?"
“I, I…” Li Ming suddenly raised his head, his eyes evasive, not daring to look him in the face.
Xia Qi thought, as expected, Li Ming was up to something.
"Oh, you're still being stubborn." Sister Hong also squatted down. She stretched out her right hand and pointed at Li Ming's stomach. "Don't plead guilty? Then you can wait to die. We can't save you."
Suddenly, Sister Hong pointed out the problem. Li Ming gritted his teeth and said in a voice as small as a mosquito: "I, I, I have done something wrong."
"If you don't want to drink the red soup, just say it." Xia Qi looked at him calmly. If Li Ming was willing to say it, they would be able to get more information.
When he heard the word "red soup", Li Ming broke down again. He stammered, "I, I cheated on my wife when she was pregnant..."
"Anything else? Keep talking." Xia Qi glanced at him. How could he be punished so severely just for cheating
Li Ming gritted his teeth and continued, "I beat her, and then my wife got depressed... She jumped off the building, and both the child and she were gone..."
His voice trailed off again: "… They are twins."
After listening, Xia Qi fell into silence.
"You beast! Go to hell!" Sister Hong suddenly became furious. She jumped up from the ground in an instant, raised her foot and kicked Li Ming, kicking him directly to the side of the well.
Sister Hong's eyes were red as she looked at Li Ming viciously and yelled, "All cheating men deserve to die!"
"Oh, sister, you are so right." At this time, the female zombie came out of the kitchen with a bowl of red soup and said to Li Ming with a smile, "Li Ming, it's time to eat."
Li Ming was first kicked in the heart by Sister Hong. He was still huddled by the well without reacting. Unexpectedly, the female zombie came out again with a bowl in her hand.
Seeing that Sister Hong was not going to help him, he crawled to Xia Qi's feet while crying and begged Xia Qi: "I am your teammate, please save me..."
Xia Qi lowered his head, looked at Li Ming speechlessly, and said: "The only person who can save you is you, you have to atone for your sins yourself."
His kindness is reserved only for the innocent and good people, not for sinners.
"I redeem myself, I redeem myself!" Li Ming crawled to the feet of the female zombie and kowtowed to her frantically, "I was wrong, please let me go, okay?"
"Li Ming, what are you talking about?" The female zombie looked at Li Ming with a smile. She seemed to be very pleased with his performance. However, she had no intention of forgiving him.
The female zombie reached out her hands, pressed Li Ming's shoulders with one hand, lifted his chin with one finger, and said gently, "Come, eat."
“Ahh…”
Li Ming only had time to let out a scream before the female zombie forced him to drink a bowl of red soup.
Xia Qi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he said to Sister Hong, "Let's go."
"Walk."
Sister Hong had a cold face. She then turned around and gave Li Ming a fierce look, and then cursed loudly: "You deserve it!"
After leaving Li Ming's alley, Sister Hong seemed to be in a bad mood. Seeing that she was not in a good state, Xia Qi took the initiative to ask her to go back and rest first.
Sister Hong said that she was indeed not in good condition, so she separated from Xia Qixian.
So Xia Qi looked for clues alone.
He searched the streets for a whole day and only found the white-faced man's residence. However, when he just arrived at the white-faced man's door, the white-faced man was beaten out of the door by his "father", and the two were still arguing about whether to sell the white-faced man's mother.
Xia Qi stood aside and watched for a long time, then found that he had no chance to get a word in. Besides, it was getting dark, so he went back directly.
He planned to go back to have dinner first and then come back to look for the finance guy who was selling watermelons in the middle of the night.
He walked back slowly alone and stopped outside the gate of Mengpo Courtyard.
Although Meng Po's yard didn't look any different and the lighting in the yard was still dim to save electricity, for some reason, Xia Qi always felt that something was different about the yard tonight.
He stood at the door and did not knock. Instead, he carefully pushed the door open a crack.
Unexpectedly, just as he opened the door to a 1cm gap, someone behind the door suddenly pulled it open and shouted, "Your Majesty, the Moon Goddess is back!"
Since the door was completely opened, Xia Qi could clearly see the scene in the yard.
He saw that the small stool he was originally sitting on was occupied by Ye Di. At this time, Ye Di was sitting on the small stool awkwardly with his long legs bent. However, he did not look awkward at all, as if he had returned to his hometown, with an air of having occupied someone else's nest.
Seeing Xia Qi coming back, Ye Di threw the dishes in his hand into Meng Po's basket, wiped his hands on the apron beside him, stood up with a smile, and said to Xia Qi: "My Moon God, you are back."
Xia Qi: “…”
Xia Qi couldn't help but feel his eyes twitching when his lair was accidentally raided.
This Night Emperor is simply haunting us!
"Why are you here?" Xia Qi asked with a frown. He didn't even try on the shoes, so why would Ye Di come to him? !
He seriously suspected that the boss in the game had been given cheats, and it even had a built-in tip-off function
Seeing Xia Qi's puzzled look, Ye Di curled his lips and smiled very stiffly: "Everyone in the city who is destined to have the shoes has tried them, only your family hasn't tried them, so I came to take a look."
Xia Qi: “…”
This method of elimination is really used skillfully.
