Chapter 731 BengBeng Brand Teeth Whitening: Giving You Brilliant White Teeth!
Can mobile phone chat logs be considered special items? Who designed this, and why is it a special item that can attract ghosts?

Does everyone want to see what kind of shady things are in his chat history?

Gu Mian noted down this special item and continued reading.

He quickly found a bug record related to the corpse puzzle.

[Fixed a bug in the Corpse Puzzle mission where the Dismemberment Demon would tear out the wrong player's organs when inflicting the penalty every ten minutes]

Below this line of text is a hastily written note that looks like a programmer's rant.

"This dismemberment monster is old and not very bright. It keeps tearing off its own parts that have already been pieced together from the player, then realizing it has parts that it can't be reattached, it just throws the parts away. It acts like this quest is some kind of random punishment. I strongly suggest firing this dismemberment monster and replacing it with a smarter one."

This rant is packed with information...

After reading these few lines, Gu Mian had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

The punishment for the Corpse Puzzle is that every ten minutes, the dismemberment ghost will tear off an organ from one of the players and attach it to itself. Theoretically, it should tear off organs that the player hasn't found yet, but this corpse isn't very bright and always tears the wrong ones.

It must have already torn off the wrong organs of quite a few unlucky players.

"It's been four minutes already," Gu Mian thought, glancing at the time on the large screen beside her.

We need to act quickly, or the terrifying dismemberment demon will tear us apart soon.

Gu Mian wandered through the rooms as she pondered these thoughts.

He quickly found the first piece of the dismemberment puzzle in the evil god's room.

After recognizing Xu Xingcheng's body, Gu Mian thoughtfully placed it neatly on the ground so that it wouldn't look too gruesome.

When Gu Mian arrived, she found that Xu Xingcheng's body on the ground was bulging up, as if something was pressing down on it.

Gu Mian bent down and lifted him aside, and sure enough, she found a body with a head underneath. The head was the same as the dismembered ghost that had disappeared from room 603.

He remembered the corpse when he passed by room 603 before, because it looked very old, with dry skin and gray hair. No wonder the programmer's manual said that the corpse was not smart and probably had dementia.

The only part Gu Mian found so far was a bare torso with a head on top, without any limbs. He held the dismembered demon's head in his hands, its eyes tightly closed, looking very peaceful.

Looking at the bare torso with its head on top, Gu Mian thought that she would have to go and find the corpse's limbs.

Having finally found the largest piece, he immediately put it back in room 603 and then went to find the next piece.

The layout of these two floors is not complicated, and there is not much place to hide anything.

Gu Mian quickly found the dismembered ghost's left arm in an oil drum in a room of a burning ghost. After returning the left arm to 603, there were less than four minutes left before the first punishment. At this point, he still had three pieces of the corpse to find.

Most rooms don't have a place to hide things, so the most likely place to hide things is the room of the guy who ate himself to death.

There's a long table in this room, piled high with food. You could easily find an arm or leg if you didn't look carefully.

But this isn't the best place to hide things; there's another spot in this room where things are less likely to be discovered.

In room 504, Gu Mian squatted down by the table and poked the bloated belly of the guy who was stuffed to death: "Hiding in here is the least likely to be discovered... but isn't hiding in here a bit too perverted?"

The gluttonous ghost that had been poked in the stomach was sitting obediently with its upper body slumped on the dining table, but after Gu Mian said those words, its body seemed to tremble almost imperceptibly.

He stroked his chin and analyzed seriously: "They're all ghosts, so they probably don't have any moral bottom line. It's probably perfectly normal for one ghost to hide inside another's belly..."

After Gu Mian finished speaking, the trembling of the corpse in front of her seemed to intensify, causing the table next to it to shake slightly.

The slight shaking became more violent after Gu Mian picked up the axe, and the table shook as if there was an earthquake.

Gu Mian gestured towards the belly of the stuffed ghost, as if to confirm the location of the opening.

At this moment, the guy sitting on the chair suddenly swayed weakly twice, and his upper body naturally slid down the table and fell to the ground.

The slide was quite natural, like a rag draped over the edge of a table naturally sliding to the ground—if you ignore the table that was kicked over by the rag.

The gluttonous ghost slid weakly to the ground, its leg kicking so hard it overturned the dining table next to it. The long table flipped over, its bottom facing the sky, and stuck to the bottom was a leg—the very fragment of the corpse Gu Mian was looking for.

Gu Mian stared at the upside-down table and the legs stuck to the bottom, and fell silent.

Isn't that slippery force too great? It's the first time I've ever seen someone accidentally slip and flip a table. The power of this guy is terrifying.

After the table was overturned, the bloated corpse on the ground secretly turned its head to look over there. Only when it saw the thighs exposed under the table did it close its eyes and continue to play dead.

Now that the body part hidden in the room had been found, Gu Mian stopped attacking the blissfully smiling ghost on the ground. There were less than two minutes left before the first punishment, so he had to hurry.

Gu Mian stepped forward and pulled the thigh off the table. She examined it carefully and found it was her right leg.

Now all we need to do is find the left leg and the right arm.

Holding the leg made it difficult to move around, Gu Mian planned to take it back to room 603 and piece it back together.

Gu Mian soon arrived at room 603, where the torso of the dismembered demon and its left arm lay alone on the floor.

Gu Mian squatted down next to it, holding her leg and placing it on the lower left side of its torso.

After finishing these tasks, Gu Mian looked up at the big screen and saw that the countdown had reached four hours and eleven minutes, and the first ten minutes had passed.

The punishment should be served.

Gu Mian stared down at the corpse's head on the ground. According to the programmer's logbook, the punishment was that the dismemberment ghost would suddenly jump up, tear off the player's arms and legs, and then slap them back on.

Of course, this "suddenly jumping up" was Gu Mian's own imagination; the action was more in line with the current terrifying and suspenseful atmosphere.

Just as Gu Mian was squatting in front of the corpse, pondering how it would punish her, she suddenly felt something touching her thigh.

He looked back and saw his left arm, which he had found.

The corpse's eyesight was indeed poor; it groped around on his right leg for a while, seemingly unsure whether it was the right thing to pull.

After touching Gu Mian for a long time, the hand finally decided what it wanted to pull, so it suddenly opened its withered fingers, grabbed Gu Mian's right ankle, and pulled hard.

No pull.

It yanked hard again.

Still no pull.

The head on the torso had to peek through a tiny slit to see what was going on.

As soon as it opened its eyes, it saw a large axe lying in front of it, and its left arm was pinned down by the axe, making it unable to move.

In the past, some players were afraid of punishment and wanted to rebel, but any resistance was useless.

So it opened its blood-red maw, raised its bald body, and bit at the thigh of the person squatting next to it, determined to carry out the punishment.

Which leg was it supposed to tear off? It had almost forgotten.

Never mind, I'll just grab any one.

As it lunged at the person in front of it with its gaping maw, the old, dim-eyed man finally saw the face of the person before him—a nightmarish face that his colleagues often forwarded to the group chat to be cursed at.

The just verdict came to an abrupt end.

A head with its gaping maw stopped halfway, unsure whether to go forward or backward, its wrinkled face showing utter embarrassment.

Finally, the old man gritted his teeth and decided to go all out.

He snapped his gaping maw shut, which stretched to his ears, and tightly closed his old, dim eyes. He then lay down on the ground with a thud and began to play dead. While playing dead, a fake, benevolent smile spread across his face, as if his gaping maw was just a way to show Gu Mian how shiny and white his teeth were.

Oops, I forgot to write the author's note in yesterday's update. Anyway, I wrote it today, so just pretend I wrote it yesterday too! (Justified jpg)
