Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

……

On the other side, inside the copy.

When Qin Shang walked out of the okra forest, it was almost the second watch.

When I originally entered the dungeon, the background board was already night, and now it was almost early morning.

It was pitch black all around, except for the oil lamp in my hand which provided a little light for my vision.

Qin Shang probably didn't dare to walk out of the okra forest.

"Shen Xiuxiu is blind, so she couldn't see the appearance of the person who came. She mistook me for her husband Lin Zekai, right?"

He thought oddly.

In that case, perhaps it would be safest to be in that okra forest.

For Shen Xiuxiu, the okra forest was once an apricot forest and was a gift given to her by Lin Zekai in order to pursue her.

There must be a lot of good memories there.

The undead thought he was Lin Zekai, so Shen Xiuxiu would most likely not hurt Qin Shang in the okra forest!

Yes, it was because there were too many beautiful memories of a girl in love left there, that's why I met Shen Xiuxiu's ghost in the okra forest.

Qin Shang thought with relief.

Then he shook his head again.

No, that's not right, I didn't see anything...

Where do the undead come from?

I just heard Shen Xiuxiu's voice.

He clicked his tongue and thought that maybe the forest was also an unforgettable place of memories for Shen Xiuxiu.

Some regrets and dead souls must have been left there, right?

Because he answered Shen Xiuxiu's question correctly, the dilemma disappeared instantly.

Next, after walking just two steps, Qin Shang saw the gate tower of the Third Young Master’s Mansion.

"Master, is this you?"

At this moment, Qin Shang noticed a pair of bright eyes flashing beside the dark vermilion bungalow not far away.

At the same time, the girl's crisp voice with a hint of panic and nervousness was heard. Qin Shang couldn't help but smack his lips secretly, Xiaoyu's eyes were so bright.

"it's me!"

The next moment, Qin Shang jumped out from the darkness.

Xiao Yu was obviously relieved to see that Qin Shang was safe and sound.

Then, he looked behind Qin Shang and let out a soft exclamation;

"Hey, Master, why are you out alone? Where is Shopkeeper Cui?"

Hearing this, Qin Shang's mouth twitched and he said unhappily;

"I don't know. Don't mention it. I didn't run into Fatty Cui in the okra forest at all. I guess he stood me up."

After saying this, Qin Shang pointed to the oil lamp in his hand;

"The gas is running low. Let's switch and set off to escort Miss Shen's spirit tablet back to the Pure Land. Then we can have a good night's sleep tonight."

Qin Shang acted like a naive person and said this.

In fact, he didn't think anything strange would happen today.

After all, the witch had just left, so even if the female ghost wanted to cause trouble, she would have to wait for a few hours, right?

And there are still more than sixty hours left. Even if something is going to happen, it should take some time, right?

It has been no more than five hours since I entered the dungeon. The dungeon should not be so cold-blooded and ruthless.

Should we increase the intensity on Qin Shang tonight?

He complained in his heart.

But in fact, he still wanted to complete the task assigned by the Second Young Master's wife first, even though he knew that Shen Xiuxiu would not be able to rest in peace if he did so.

However, Qin Shang always felt that the look in the Second Young Master's wife's eyes when she left was a little strange, and there was something wrong that he couldn't explain.

I just heard the prompt sound on the background board, and my heart tightened.

No wonder this woman insisted on entrusting the task of escorting the spirit tablet to the two of us.

She was also one of the culprits who harmed young girls after Shen Xiuxiu married into the Lin family.

Asking her to escort the spirit tablet in the middle of the night would be worse than killing her.

However, Shen Xiuxiu's revenge has already begun, and her last wish has obviously not been fulfilled. Miss Shen will most likely not give up!

The second young master's wife's life can enter the countdown...

Hearing this, Xiaoyu took the oil lamp from Qin Shang's hand and turned to walk into the room.

Soon a brand new oil lamp came out, and the bright light could dispel the fear in many people's hearts in the darkness.

I don’t know why, Qin Shang has been like this since he was a child.

Whenever you walk alone at night, you will have the illusion that someone is watching you from behind. Maybe in 80% of cases you will get home safely, but you will still feel an indescribable discomfort in your heart.

Moreover, when they were walking at night, no one encouraged him to tell him those folk ghost stories or anecdotes, but whenever Qin Shang walked alone at night, his mind could not help but start thinking about these messy things.

Just now, when Xiaoyu went in to change the oil lamp, Qin Shang had already seen seven or eight versions of a female ghost suddenly descending and demanding his life in his mind for some reason...

"Damn it, it's easy to have wild thoughts when I'm alone."

Qin Shang shook his head, throwing away those horrific images from his mind, and then glanced at Xiao Yu, who was still timidly following behind him with two bags under her eyes;

"Let's go."

"Don't be afraid. If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."

"You haven't hurt Miss Shen, why are you so nervous? The people you should be afraid of are the Second Young Master's wife and the others."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu looked at the Third Young Master strangely, said nothing, and nodded silently.

The master and the servant walked back to the mourning hall along the bluestone corridor.

The surroundings were eerily quiet along the way.

Qin Shang knew that it was most likely Shenlu who was causing trouble again.

Shen Xiuxiu is a key character. Even if she has nothing to do with this link, Shenlu will deliberately create a terrifying atmosphere to mess with the players' mentality.

He calmed himself down, pretended to be relaxed and took the initiative to approach Xiaoyu to start a conversation;

"Xiao Yu, how did the third concubine die?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoyu's breathing behind him became noticeably heavier, and then the little girl's faint voice sounded from behind.

"How did the Third Young Master know about the Third Concubine's affairs?"

Tsk, although almost no one has mentioned the Third Concubine in detail after entering the dungeon, I’m sorry, I’m a Shenlu player and I have a background introduction board where I can see the background of the story.

Naturally, everyone knew that the last strange thing that happened in the Lin residence was the mysterious death of the third concubine.

However, the background board did not describe in detail how the third concubine died, so Qin Shang was also quite curious about the eyes of these people in the Republic of China.

What kind of death would be called a bizarre death?

Qin Shang narrowed his eyes slightly;

"Don't worry about that for now. I asked you the question first. Shouldn't you answer my question first?"

This sentence was very useful to control the little maid. Xiaoyu immediately said "Oh" and answered obediently;

"Probably, probably two days before you came back, Third Young Master, the usually healthy Third Concubine fell ill and suddenly stopped going out."

"She refused to eat the food the maid brought her. The master was usually not at home, and the Third Concubine was in charge of the Lin family's internal affairs. As a result, she told the maids that they could only bring food to the door, and that she was ill and refused to see anyone."

"But the Lin family's internal affairs cannot be left unattended for a day, especially since Manager Cui had to report the accounts to the Third Concubine the day before yesterday, but the Third Concubine remained in seclusion."

"This has made everyone very anxious. Without the Third Concubine's approval, who would dare to take over the Third Concubine's duties and take charge of the household affairs?"

Xiao Yu said with a wry smile, and the fear in her heart seemed to dissipate a little as she started chatting;

"The first person to discover the Third Concubine's body was Shopkeeper Cui. That morning, Shopkeeper Cui couldn't bear it any longer and stopped shipping medicine to his pharmacy for two days in a row, but he still had to pay the rent for the shop!"

"What's more, the Lin family is the largest local herbal medicine dealer. Not only Shopkeeper Cui's shop, but many other shopkeepers rely on these herbs to make a living. Ordinary people also rely on these herbs to treat diseases."

"So Shopkeeper Cui pushed open the door of the Third Concubine's room despite the maids' obstruction."

"As a result, they found that the third concubine was tied to the beam of the house and hanged to death. The maids were terrified. Judging from the stench of the corpse, the coroner said that she had been dead for at least three days."

"But two days ago, when the maid was delivering food, she knocked on the door and could hear the Third Concubine's response from inside."

"This scared everyone. Everyone said that Miss Shen Xiuxiu was killed in the Lin family, so she came back to take revenge on us. When Master Lin Zekai and Miss Shen got married, the person who was most opposed to it was the third concubine..."

Hearing this, Qin Shang's facial features twisted into a knot.

Is this what you call a mysterious death?

"Is it possible that the Third Concubine herself committed many evil things and couldn't bear the psychological pressure, so she chose to commit suicide?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's face suddenly turned pale. Under the light of the oil lamp, it was as if the blood in his face had been sucked out. His facial features were stiff and scary.

"No, no, it's definitely not suicide..."

"Because Manager Cui saw that the third concubine's hands were chopped off and placed on the table. The cut surface was rough, as if it had been strangled with a thin rope. The armless body was hanging from the beam of the house."

"This kind of death definitely couldn't be suicide!"

"Everyone said that Miss Shen Xiuxiu came back for revenge and cut off the Third Concubine's arm with the silk thread of the pipa."
