Homecoming through online games

=====================

"It's him?" Wen Zhuang was obviously also very surprised, he pondered for a moment, and sighed, "No wonder he's always been missing these days, he must be busy with this matter."

His expression relaxed a lot, he asked Jing An: "What's going on?"

It turned out that this morning, before Wen Zhuang and his party returned to the villa, the illnesses of those sick disciples who had changed their treatment formula yesterday suddenly worsened, and the situation became extremely dangerous.Now those medicine disciples who had made friends with the sick disciple could no longer hold back their emotions, even Jing An's words could not be heard at all, and the atmosphere in the hall was on the verge of explosion.It was at this time that Gu Xingyan came to the Yihe Hall, and he simply knocked down the medicine disciple who was blocking him a few times, and forcibly poured the decoction on the sick disciple.

After the decoction was poured, the sick disciple who was in extreme pain immediately calmed down, and soon fell into a deep sleep with a stable pulse.Only then did Gu Xingyan show the formula.At that time, the situation was urgent, and the disciples of the medicine department circulated the prescription, but they didn't notice anything wrong, so they could only mix and boil the medicine in a hurry, and gave it to the sick disciples who were in critical condition.When Jing Tong went to find Jing An, a disciple who had not been ill for a long time woke up slowly, his mind was clear and he could move freely, but he had completely recovered.When they came over, several disciples had already woken up one after another, and the disease that had tortured them and almost killed them disappeared silently.

Jing An explained what happened in a few words, and did not describe the situation in detail at that time, but the few people who listened to his narration could also feel the thrilling situation during this period.He didn't ask any more questions. Although Jing Tong had already told Jing An once, Wen Zhuang explained to Jing An in detail what they found during their trip.

Jing An listened, nodded, did not say anything, but turned his gaze to Ye Mu, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Ye Shaoxia for the information, Jing An is very grateful. Gu Xingyan is currently taking care of the Summer Palace. Ye Shaoxia has something to ask If so, why not come with us?"

Ye Mu stood up and said: "I have learned from Wen Zhuang what I want to confirm. The Yihe Hall must be busy right now, so I won't bother you. I still have to stay in the town for two days, Mr. Jing If you have anything to do, you might as well ask someone to leave a message for me at the hostel last time."

Jing An didn't seem to expect Ye Mu to say this, he was a little surprised, and immediately responded: "Since that's the case, Ye Shaoxia, please stay here for a while, and someone will send the reward later."

Ye Mu subtly accepted the ingot of gold ingot as reward, seeing that it was exactly the same size and shape as the ingot in the package, he felt that his previous guess might have come true.There was no abnormality on his face, he bid farewell to Jing An and the others, walked out of the conference hall for a certain distance, then restrained his breath and walked towards Gu Xingyan's room.

When investigating in Baicao Hall before, his investigation focus was mainly on the clue of "impermanence", and Gu Xingyan seldom went out, so he did not go to Gu Xingyan's room.Now is a good opportunity.

Paying attention to the dots on the map, he came to Gu Xingyan's door, and the door was closed tightly as expected.He raised his hand and pushed it, but only heard a "squeak", and pushed the door open unexpectedly and easily.It was not locked.

The door was not locked, but I don't know if it was because the owner left too hastily, or it was an aboveboard trap.

As far as the eye can see, there is nothing similar to the mark of the mechanism, Ye Mu directly stood at the door and looked into the room.

The sun is pouring down, and the indoor scene is unobstructed.It looked more like a studio than a disciple's bedroom.There was a horrible smell in the house.There is a long table under the window, which is full of bottles and cans, and there are some unfinished materials in a porcelain bowl, showing a strange turquoise color, which looks like this horror source of the smell.The bookshelves occupy the other half of the room, crowded close to the head of the bed.There were many books stuffed in a mess, one book was only half stuffed in, and most of the books were opened outside, and the pages were already yellowed.The quilts on the bed were spread out in a mess, apparently no one had tidied them up, and several wooden boxes were tightly stuffed under the hollow bed.

Considering the identity of the owner of the room as a disciple of the Poison Department, this is a room that makes people not want to go in just by looking at it.

But time is running out, Ye Mu doesn't have time to worry so much.Thinking of seeing the fluorescence on the floor of the room before, he tried not to think about the ingredients, took a few grains of anti-poison produced by Ye Ming, walked in, and closed the door after entering the room.A horizontal movement in the air just landed on that bed, mobilizing all vigilance.

There was no movement in the room, but Ye Mu immediately frowned, his expression turned cold, and he quickly looked around.

The moment he touched the bed, a red light spot appeared on the map.

A red spot of light that is close at hand.

He looked up and found nothing unusual in the bed curtain, Ye Mu lowered his head, his eyes fell on the bed.

He first stretched a long knife down and knocked on the boxes one by one, finally stopped on one of the large wooden boxes, and knocked again.

Although the box was big, it was not full from the sound.

Only then did he start to drag it out from under the bed a little bit.I don't know what is inside, the box is big, but it is not heavy to drag.A large brass lock that looks quite strong is hung on it.Ye Mu glanced at the red dots on the map that moved with his movements, called up the information bar, looked at the wooden box in front of him, and used the private chat channel.

[Private chat] You said to the mutated walking corpse: Hello.

Of course there was no response.Ye Mu just wanted to use this to confirm what was in the box, and he was taken aback when he saw the result.

He really didn't expect Gu Xingyan to be so bold as to put a walking corpse in Baicao Hall, in his own room.

A mutated monster that he has only seen twice since coming to this world.One was the plague walking corpse he hacked to death in a daze when he first woke up on that battlefield, and the other was the walking corpse locked in a box in front of him.

Instead, you can send this box to Jing An and the others, which is enough evidence of Gu Xingyan's collusion with the demon.But at this moment when Gu Xingyan healed many disciples of Baicao Hall, it is hard to guarantee that he will not be bitten back.

Although I don't know if Gu Xingyan's treatment formula is tricky, but since he can't see anything with Baicaotang's methods, it is even more impossible for him to detect the deep meaning in it.He proposed to ask Gu Xingyan something, and met him in advance, Jing An must have seen that he had doubts about Gu Xingyan, so he would think about it.But Gu Xingyan can tell about the meeting with him, but it is absolutely impossible to tell Wen Zhuang the content of their conversation truthfully.These two people are not easy to get along with, Gu Xingyan wants to do something between them, I'm afraid it will not be easy.But at this moment, it is unrealistic to deal with Gu Xingyan.

—Then let’s check what’s in the box first.

After thinking about it, he pulled out his carry-on kit.The tool table unfolded, and the space that was originally left became narrower and narrower.He picked up the hammer on the anvil and smashed it hard against the lock.Sparks flew everywhere, and with a crisp sound, the copper lock broke in two and fell to the ground.

Putting the hammer back on the anvil, putting away the tool bag, and getting ready for battle, Ye Mu took a deep breath, held his breath, and slowly opened the lid of the box with the tip of the knife.

As the lid was slowly opened, something could be seen moving inside.

Ye Mu stared intently, and lost all his voice in an instant.

Inside the box, a small walking corpse was curled up inside, with its arms folded in front of its chest and its legs bent, in the posture of being swaddled when it was a child.There are a few sparse hairs remaining on the head, and it seems that he was only a child of five or six years old before his death.It seemed to be frightened by the sudden light, trembling slightly, turned the head with half of the bones exposed, looked over with empty eye sockets, opened and closed its mouth, and made a slight "click".

After coming to this world, Ye Mu has seen many weird and terrifying monsters with his own eyes, and also experienced many miserable and desperate scenes, but the situation of the walking corpse in front of him made his fingers holding the knife start to feel numb for the first time. Almost unbearable to watch.

The body of the walking corpse is colorful, and the skin radiates with magnificent and terrifying bright colors. Some parts of the body are missing, but the gaps are flat, as if they were cut with a knife, and the skin in some places is also turned outwards. , the wound was as cold and precise as if it had been precisely calculated, skillfully avoiding those joints that are prone to breakage.A closer look reveals that the walking corpse's hands and feet are tightly bound, and the neck is held in place by a loop at the bottom of the box, like a butterfly in a taxidermy.

——Experimental product.

This word flashed across Ye Mu's mind.But there was one more thing that made it harder for him to accept.

Although the remaining fabrics on this walking corpse were already dirty and hard to identify, the patterns on them were quite familiar.

Crooked and clumsy embroidery, rustic and poor color matching, the same style, he had seen on the small quilt that Huang Yangliu was holding.

... This is the child of Huang Yangliu who died young?

With a sullen face, Ye Mu pierced the walking corpse's head, and the corpse remained silent.He closed the box, pushed it back under the bed as it was, and moved the remains of the lock to a place under the bed out of sight.After a quick check of the room, there was nothing noticeable except for the wooden box.After carefully cleaning up the traces of his arrival, he closed the door and left.

The next destination is the cemetery.

Not long after Ye Mu left, the door was pushed open again.

A foot wearing a black leather boot stepped forward and landed on the ground without hesitation.The man approached the bed, knelt down on one knee and pulled out the big wooden box.The unlocked box was easily opened. The visitor took a look inside the box, let out a soft beep, looked around, and immediately saw the broken copper lock that was originally blocked by the box.

The box was closed again and pushed back under the bed.Jiang Wang stood up beside the bed and sighed a little nerve-wrackingly.

It seems that he came a step late, Ye Mu is probably going to the cemetery now.

Today was the second day of the appointment, but things began to develop somewhat beyond his expectations.

There is one more day.Silently thinking this way, Jiang Wang walked out of the room and closed the door.laughed happily.

Anyway, by tomorrow, it will all be over here.What will be the result?

The unknown is frightening, but also fascinating.

Ye Mu inquired in the town where the locals buried the corpses, and found the grave of Huang Yangliu's child.There are several shriveled fruits in front of the tomb, which probably came to worship before Huang Yangliu left.

The soil on the mound was new and looked like it had been recently turned over.This trace was obviously only left in the past few days, otherwise the worshipers would not have noticed it.But Gu Xingyan has not left the villa these days, so it is not easy to send such a walking corpse into the villa without alarming others.In other words, he still has accomplices?

Ye Mu walked around this cemetery. There are many new tombs here these days. I don't know when they were buried, and I can't tell if there is anything abnormal just from the traces.He left the cemetery, went back to the town and bought some shovels, lanterns, etc., and waited until it got dark, then came to the cemetery and dug up the grave of Huang Yangliu's child.

Unsurprisingly, there was only a thin coffin that had been pried open inside. There were some children's toys, bedding and other things in the coffin, but the body had disappeared.

After carefully examining the traces on the coffin, Ye Mu filled the soil back and compacted it, and turned his attention to a new grave nearby. He leaned on the tombstone with a shovel, and began to think about the necessity of digging the grave and breaking the coffin.

Although there have been no rumors of walking corpses hurting people, since the first dead children of Huang Yangliu turned into walking corpses, those who died due to the epidemic should also turn into walking corpses.No matter what Gu Xingyan is researching, it can also be seen from the method on the walking corpse that this is definitely not the first time he has done such an experiment.The corpses in this cemetery may have also been his experimental subjects.

But although Ye Mu has no taboos when it is necessary, he still feels that digging people's graves is a bit immoral.

With a tsk, Ye Mu threw the shovel aside, came to the tomb and bent down, took off the gauntlet, and pressed his hand on the dirt bag.Look at the map.

Let's try this first.If it doesn't work, then you can only do this wicked thing once.

After spending half of the night walking around the cemetery, Ye Mu found three tombs with red light spots in total.

Two are new graves, but one is an old grave that looks old, even the tombstone is gone, the grass on the graves grows tall, and it is at the edge of the cemetery.If you don't pay attention to it, you might think it is a slightly taller bump.

Putting aside the old grave that looked very dangerous at first glance, Ye Mu muttered silently and dug up one of the new graves.

Lifting the lid of the coffin, a walking corpse sat up.

You killed the mutated walking corpse and gained 50 reputation in Baicao Hall

marvelous!When the conditions are met, you unlock the power system.

Unlock the faction system, deduct 50 points of mercenary reputation

You kill the mutated walking corpse, get 50 reputation from Baicao Hall, deduct 50 reputation from Demon Army

After killing the walking corpse, Ye Mu called up the information panel, originally intending to confirm the condition of the walking corpse.When I saw the few lines of information that appeared, I couldn't help but startled.
