Haunted House Survival System

Chapter 4 Autumn Frost
After eliminating the giant snake monster, Yan Ling took the vajra pestle and searched the cobweb-covered front of the hall.

In Jin Jiu's memory, there are only two props that can be taken in the front of the hall - a rusty ax and a blood bottle.

Fortunately, there are not many things in front of the hall, only a stone stove and a few dustpans turned over on the ground, and I don't know what it is inside.Yan Ling quickly found the blood bottle in the dustpan, then reached out to dig in the pothole of the stove, and took out the rusty axe.

Yan Ling said happily: "Yeah, there's a new weapon! This looks more reliable than the vajra..." After finishing speaking, she put away the vajra and replaced it with a rusty axe.

Jin Jiu: "..."

Miss, didn't you read the manual?It read: Ax that doesn't look very strong. (can only be used once)
After getting the rusty axe, Yan Ling excitedly knocked on the doors of all the rooms again.

Jin Jiu supported her head, and really wanted to remind her: "Didn't you knock all the time just now? Only the door of the firewood room was open..."

However, he found that he had gradually become numb to her behavior.Leng followed her knocking on the door all the way back to the woodshed.

The neatly stacked firewood inside seemed to have been touched, and it was scattered all over the place.

Yan Ling walked into the firewood room, and didn't search any further, just walked around casually, and went towards the door again.

Can't you see such an obvious plot trigger?

Finally, Jin Jiu couldn't bear it any longer, crossed his arms and hugged his elbows, and stood straight in the center of the door like a bodyguard. The remaining space was only as wide as a fist, and Yan Ling couldn't get through it at all.

"Huh?" Yan Ling looked at Jin Jiu's weird posture, and blurted out: "Get out of the way!"

Jin Jiu pretended not to hear and closed his eyes.

Yan Ling pushed him a few times with her hands, and said without moving, "What's going on? Is there a bug? An NPC is blocking the door?"

Jin Jiu's system didn't give any prompts either.

She took a few steps back in confusion and stepped on a piece of firewood on the ground.Then I looked down and saw that this piece of firewood was much thicker than the others. There seemed to be signs of cracks in the middle, and something was shining in the gap.

Finally found out!Jin Jiu felt that he was about to become a baby daddy.

Yan Ling picked up the ax in her hand and split the firewood with all her might.

"Kang Dang" a red copper key fell out.

The rusty ax also broke with the sound.Only then did Yan Ling realize that this was just a one-time prop, and she replaced the weapon with the Vajra pestle in her hand.

Qiu Shuang's bedroom key was found.Jin Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, I will finally meet the first female ghost with a name——Qiu Shuang!

Qiu Shuang is the personal maid of Yin Yuner, the eldest lady of the Yin Mansion.Her final outcome was that Jin Jiu used her own apricot hairpin to stab her between the eyebrows and died.

Jin Jiu followed Yan Ling to the safe house and watched her worship the Buddha statue devoutly.

All the way to the door of the guest room.

Yan Ling took out the red copper key she just got.

Jin Jiu also silently rolled up his sleeves.To deal with Qiushuang, this off-line heroine can't be counted on, and he still has to rely on him, the big villain boss.

As soon as Qiushuang's bedroom door was opened, a gust of wind blew in, making Yanling stagger.The background music sounded at the right time, and the woman's cries were vaguely mixed with the Kunqu opera "A Dream in the Garden" from "The Peony Pavilion":
"Dream back to the warbler, chaotic time is everywhere, people set up small courtyards and deep courtyards; smoke is exhausted, and embroidery threads are thrown away, this spring is as close as last year..."

Looking into the house, there is a faded gray wooden table in the middle of the room, and a brass oil lamp is placed on the table, which is mottled.The tablecloth under the oil lamp seemed to be stained with splattered blood and had turned black.

There is an armchair on each side, and on one of them sits a woman in a short gown with her head drooping, her hair in a bun.The blue apron in front of her eyes and the ground were also a large black spot, and in the black ground, a half-stained wooden sign was exposed, which read: Qiushuang.

Yan Ling walked in tremblingly, and observed the woman carefully, only to see that the skin and flesh on her face were as thin as a piece of paper, it seemed that she had been dead for a long time, and she had become a mummified corpse.

There is only a simple bed in the back room, covered with a white checkered curtain.The quilt on the bed was crumpled and placed randomly, and there seemed to be a black stain like blood in the middle of the bed.

While Yan Ling was searching, Jin Jiu sat by the bed and lay down.His legs were sore after walking for so long. If he hadn't become a system character, he wouldn't know that his legs would still be sore.

[Trigger side mission: Autumn Frost's first night?Do you want to receive it? 】

Hey, there are side missions?receive.

After receiving the task, Jin Jiu didn't find any other reminders.It's just that Yan Ling searched all the way to the bedside, she reached out to feel under the quilt, and took out a broken piece of paper.

There are still burnt marks on the edge of the paper, which looks like the remnants of something burnt.

Strange, why haven't I seen this piece of paper before?Jin Jiu sat up and looked around.

Card Name: [Broken Letter]

"Qiu Shuang, the matter between you and me must not be known by the eldest lady..." I could only see these words, and the signature behind it turned out to be "Jin Jiu"!
I'll go, what's the situation?Hasn't this Jin Jiu always been a young man with good qualities and good qualities?Wasn't he a delinquent young man who turned black for his own childhood sweetheart and wiped out the whole family of the Yin family?

There must be some misunderstanding here!
After reading the paper, the black stain in the middle of the bed was particularly eye-catching.Yan Ling looked at Jin Jiu with contempt.She had already previewed the plot strategy, but she didn't have a good impression of Jin Jiu, and now her eyes are full of disgust.

[Yan Ling’s favorability is -10, current favorability is 80]

Jin Jiu regretted everything, it turned out that this side mission turned out to be a trap!I knew I wouldn't pick it up.

Why are you looking at me like that?Even I myself don't know how I got mixed up with Qiushuang.Although Qiushuang's true face after being eliminated is really beautiful...

Yan Ling rolled his eyes at him, turned around, and the raised brass pattern on the vajra suddenly caught a corner of the curtain.

brush...

The entire white curtain covering the bed was torn off, and a square red lacquered wooden box fell to the ground.

By the way, this is a plot prop!No more weird things.

Yan Ling got Qiu Shuang's makeup gift, and when she opened it, she found an apricot blossom hairpin inside.

I saw that the whole body of the hairpin was covered with dark red spots, whether it was rust or blood stains, but the two apricot flowers on the head of the hairpin were as jade-colored as new.

Ha ha……

A woman's sharp laughter came from behind Yan Ling, and a pale and slender hand put on her shoulder.

Yan Ling was startled, and dropped the hairpin to the ground.Turning around, I met that terrifying face that was broken like paper.

From the moment the dowry fell off, Jin Jiu stared vigilantly at Qiu Shuang who was sitting there.Until she stood up and floated over, Jin Jiu was waiting for the system's prompt to choose between the two, but the system suddenly seemed to disappear, completely ignoring his call.

He had no choice but to take a step, stretched out his hand and pushed Qiushuang who was standing behind Yan Ling away.
