Every day I'm on the verge of death

Chapter 99 Three Matches 3

Lu Jifeng came out from behind the window.

"If you don't save them, tomorrow morning 'a couple smashed a window and beat their neighbor to death' will be on the headlines of the small town newspaper, and you..."

His tone was relaxed and even a little teasing. When he passed by Rita, he helped her up from the ground, and stared at the two people who had already walked to the door.

The two of them should have been shocked by Lu Jifeng's words. They stopped their progress and turned around to look at Lu Jifeng. When their eyes touched his figure, the expressions on their faces became very strange, with fear and anger intermingling.

Lu Jifeng didn't care about their reactions, and slowly approached the young couple who were standing still, step by step. Lu Jifeng stopped a few steps away from them, and he tilted his head and smiled innocently.

"What do you think will happen to you then?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

The woman's shrill voice sounded, the anger in her tone was obvious, the joints of her pinched hands had turned white, even so, she didn't make any other movements.

The man who had been silent all this time pulled the woman behind him. He was obviously more sensible than the woman, and his eyes were alert to Lu Jifeng's every move.

Judging from their current reactions, Lu Jifeng feels that their fear of the original body may not only come from the matches.

After all, without lighting a match, the original body can be said to be an ordinary girl with no destructive power. As adults, the couple should not be too defensive against a child who has no fighting power.

In this dungeon, Lu Jifeng still has a lot of questions, but now is not the time to think about them. Just now, he cast his wandering eyes on the young couple opposite again, and said softly with the corner of his mouth raised.

"The point is not what I said nonsense, but what happened tonight. If you save them, then we are all safe. If they die..."

Lu Jifeng didn't finish the second half of this obviously threatening sentence. After all, they are all adults. If they don't have this bit of IQ, how can they survive in this world.

Lu Jifeng originally thought that the infallible threat could successfully save the two people in front of him, but unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect.

The man who originally protected the young woman behind him because he was afraid of Lu Jifeng showed a playful smile after hearing his words.

"Do you think anyone in this town will take your word for it?"

Lu Jifeng was a little puzzled, but the reason for the puzzle was not the man's words, but why the man didn't say these words directly at the beginning.

Had he done it just to tease him by listening to him talk about it?To see him make a fool of himself?

Lu Jifeng was thinking about the reason, and the man seemed to have opened up the chatterbox and continued talking.

"In this town, except for the two people lying behind you, there is no one who doesn't know that you are a murderous demon. Why do you think we chose to leave instead of saving them?"

The man looked at Lu Jifeng with a look of disdain and didn't speak any more. It seemed that he wanted Lu Jifeng to beg him to continue talking, but Lu Jifeng didn't mean to ask.

The air seemed to freeze, the man coughed to cover up his embarrassment, but the woman behind him was wrong, she opened her mouth quickly and said a word.

"We know that you did it, and there will be no one else but you!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the man's face became uneasy, and he pulled the woman behind him again. Obviously, what he wanted to say was not what the woman said.

He intentionally led the woman back, but the other party didn't seem to have received the man's signal to retreat, so the two of them fell to the ground together in the next second.

"Are you all right?"

Lu Jifeng walked up to them, a little hesitant to pull them up, anyway, he still has something to ask for these two people, although they believe that the two lying on the ground were his hands.

After all, from another perspective, the two lying on the ground were indeed because of him...his matches.

"If you dare to kill us, everyone will know that you did it. Don't kill us...you can't kill us..."

There is a limit to human patience, these two people don't understand his focus at all, maybe his threat is too insignificant to them.

"Maybe you guys want to try this thing."

Lu Jifeng squatted condescendingly in front of the young couple, took out a box of matches from his bamboo basket, and shook the hand holding the match in front of their eyes, the faces of the young couple instantly turned pale.

He took out a match from the matchbox and did not strike it. After all, even if he lit three matches, he would die, so his purpose was just to scare the young couple opposite.

However, the young couple quickly calmed down after the initial panic. The man helped the woman to stand up together, and Lu Jifeng, who was squatting on the ground, had to stand up too.

"You know very well that the match will only affect the person who lit the match, so you don't have to scare us, we are not afraid of you."

Lu Jifeng was a little speechless. This couple is really annoying. One moment they were scared to death, but the next moment they would regain their composure. Isn't this really a bug in the system!

If not, their reaction is really beyond common sense.

Although Lu Jifeng complained like this in his heart, he still clearly knew that such obvious bugs would not appear in the game system.

"It's not for you to decide who it will affect, but for me, the producer."

Lu Jifeng walked to the door, no matter whether the current situation was a bug or not, he couldn't continue to entangle with them, he could wait for the two people lying on the ground but couldn't wait.

"I only need you to do one thing now, and that is to save those two people. I will leave now. If you let me know that you didn't save them, then you will know who the match can affect."

He looked back at the couple, and sure enough, their expressions were a little stiff. Lu Jifeng probably knew what they were afraid of. What they were afraid of was not the match, but the original body holding the match.

There are two reasons why Lu Jifeng came to such a conclusion. One is that the whole town, except for Yuanchen's mother and stepfather, is afraid of Yuanchen.

Matches can kill people or cause some uncontrollable things, but the source of these matches is not clear, only one thing is certain, that is, the original body can get such matches.

The other is that everyone is afraid of her and at the same time seems to be targeting her everywhere. The attitude here is very strange. A murderer who is recognized by everyone has not been restricted by any personal freedom.

Even apart from the unknown abuser and the original stepparents, no one really did anything to her.

From the beginning to the end, she was only isolated like a child. Yes, the original Leah was isolated by the whole town, and did this isolation happen before Leah became a 'devil' or after she became a 'devil'? unknown.

Of course, these are not important. The most important thing is that everyone is afraid of her, but they dare not control her, or even kill her.

The most likely reason is that these people cannot harm the original body, or some kind of power is protecting the original body from harm.

A 'demon' that cannot be harmed or killed will naturally become an object of fear in the eyes of ordinary people.

This may be the reason why the young couple became less afraid when Lu Jifeng talked about matches-related topics, and why they became afraid when the topic was related to him.

Lu Jifeng sat on the bed in the small broken house and looked at the door in a daze. The cold wind was blowing directly on his face. He rubbed his arms, feeling that his body seemed to be less and less able to feel the cold.

It was getting closer and closer to the end of the game, and he still had a match that he hadn't sold. The sky was getting brighter, he sighed, and finally went out with his small bamboo basket.

When passing Yuanshen's stepfather and mother's house, he deliberately slowed down. Many people came to the door, including the couple next door. Because they were far away, Lu Jifeng didn't know the result of the treatment for the time being. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he went to Those people left the place before they found him.

Today is Christmas, but there are fewer pedestrians on the road. Lu Jifeng walked for a long time without meeting anyone, until he was a little tired from walking for too long and sat in the corner to rest, and saw a person.

It was the boy who worked in the roast duck restaurant, the other party seemed very happy, he walked quickly with something in his arms, Lu Jifeng hesitated for a second and followed.

It was a bit difficult for him to follow, but fortunately, the young man didn't notice him following him. It wasn't until the other party stopped in front of a house and walked in that Lu Jifeng came out from the dark.

He has been to this house, and that man has brought him here.

He walked to the door, a little hesitant to knock on the door and go in. Before he could think about it, he was shrouded in shadow.

"Since you're here, go in and sit down."

Standing behind him was that man, the owner of the roast duck restaurant, that strange man who took him home to roast duck for him.

Lu Jifeng did not refuse the other party's invitation. After all, he still needs to sell the last match, and this man is his best target.

In the living room, I didn't see the boy who walked in before, and Lu Jifeng didn't ask. He sat obediently on the sofa and thought about how to sell his last match.

However, before he could speak, the person sitting next to him spoke first.

"I know what you're thinking."

There was a hint of a smile in his tone, but he was extremely serious. The four words 'I understand you' were clearly revealed in the eyes he looked at Lu Jifeng.

"Whatever you want to know, I can tell you."

Although the game clearly stated the mission from the very beginning, Lu Jifeng still felt that the game was not that simple, and there were too many doubts surrounding him, and he felt that he had to figure out these things.

So after hearing what the man said, Lu Jifeng decided to ask his own question without hesitation, but he always felt that there is no free lunch in the world.

"What are your conditions?"

The man smiled indifferently when he heard his words: "You always say that."
