Chapter 14: Botanical Garden Funeral (2)

Qi Wuling stepped into the gate indifferently.

Xu Yi followed closely behind.

After entering the botanical garden, there is a very long straight road, with lush towering trees on the side and various unknown precious plants. There are green fences every few sections in the middle of the road, with ornamental plants inside. The most conspicuous of them is Forsythia, with yellow flowers growing freely in the wind.

At the end of the road is a building that resembles an ancient castle from the last century.

It looks very solemn and majestic from a distance.

There is a mourning hall in front of the castle.

The white cloth was hung on a rack, hanging just off the ground.

It obscured the pear wood coffin placed inside.

There was a table at the back with a utensil on it.

It is used to burn incense.

Qi Wuling and Xu Yi, led by the butler, came to the ancient castle.

When I got closer, I found a huge botanical garden surrounding the castle right in the middle.

At this time, the sound of several people talking could be vaguely heard coming from inside the door.

The housekeeper opened the door.

The conversation inside stopped abruptly.

Qi Wuling saw the inside of the building clearly.

Gorgeous, royal, retro, elegant.

There were dozens of other people, ladies and elderly men, and their descendants of the same generation.

It should be other guests invited to the funeral.

Qi Wuling stepped into this unknown territory with ease.

Xu Yi was also silently looking at everything here.

The butler led the person to the back and nodded to a young man sitting in the main seat. After receiving the young man's nod, the butler quietly withdrew.

Qi Wuling turned his gaze towards the man.

He was the first to speak: "Xiao Ling, you are here. Why are there only you and Xiao Yi? Isn't your uncle here?"

Xu Yi glanced at Qi Wuling, his eyes signaling wildly: What's going on, buddy? Did we come in too early? Did we leave behind an NPC player?

Qi Wuling didn't understand why Xu Yi's eyes were twitching.

I thought of the game preface given by the system earlier.

They live abroad all year round and may not be familiar with the owner of the botanical garden.

The guests invited are relatives and friends of the botanical garden owner.

That must be some age.

The young man also called him uncle.

The man called uncle and his father should be brothers.

If you think in this way, his and Xu Yi’s identities should be - descendants of the uncle mentioned by this man.

After clarifying the reasons.

Qi Wuling bowed slightly to express his apology. Then he began to lie: "My father is not in good health and cannot return to the country to attend the funeral tomorrow, so my brother and I will attend on his behalf."

"That's it..."

The young man muttered to himself and glanced at Qi Wuling and Xu Yi again.

After coming to his senses, he said, "Then remember to say hello to uncle for me when you go back."

Xu Yi quietly pulled the corner of Qi Wuling's clothes.

He whispered, "Is this man the son of the owner of this botanical garden?"

Qi Wuling nodded imperceptibly.

Xu Yi asked in confusion: "Logically, he should be of the same generation as us, so why does he seem to have a good relationship with our father?"

...Qi Wuling's mouth twitched slightly.

He suddenly had a dad?

But after seeing Xu Yi's serious look that was eager for his answer, he still replied perfunctorily: "Oh, maybe we are friends regardless of age."

Xu Yi nodded in sudden realization.

Uh... a little silly.

The young man returned to the main seat and stood up to speak: "Okay, now that everyone is here, I will say a few words. As mentioned in the invitation letter, my brother, as the owner of the botanical garden, carefully took care of everything here. But due to overwork, he eventually collapsed forever."

"I am very sad about this, but I cannot grieve day and night. I need to shoulder the burden of my brother and take on the responsibility of the owner of the botanical garden. So I invited you all to come here, and I am very grateful for your coming."

"Tomorrow is my brother's funeral ceremony, so you should get some rest today. The guest rooms are on the third floor."

"You can also ask the butler if you need anything. Thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, he left and went to the master bedroom on the second floor.

Qi Wuling lowered his eyes. Was the deceased former owner of the botanical garden his brother?

He glanced at the young man's back again.

Xu Yi also put his arm on Qi Wuling's shoulder and wondered, "What's going on? It wasn't his father who died? How can he be his brother?"

Qi Wuling slapped Xu Yi's arm expressionlessly.

He raised his eyes and said casually: "Maybe his father died earlier."

Xu Yi was speechless, his eyebrows were furrowed into knots.

"This guy looks quite young. His brother should be only a few years older than him. He died at a young age. If his father died even earlier, then his whole family is short-lived."

Qi Wuling did not answer.

Just said: "Let's go to the third floor."

The two of them went up to the third floor and each chose an adjacent room.

Qi Wuling walked in. Although it was a guest room, the space was large. There was a toilet and bathroom, as well as a floor-to-ceiling window facing the main door from which they came in.

From this floor-to-ceiling window, you can also see the mourning hall in the front yard covered with white cloth.

Qi Wuling's eyes fell on the mourning hall below. After watching for a while, the sky gradually darkened. The dark room made Qi Wuling blend into the darkness. The flickering light in his eyes made him look a little scary, even weird and dangerous.

But he did not stay there for long. He soon withdrew his gaze, walked back into the house, and reached out to turn on the switch.

Swah——

In an instant, the bedroom became bright.

Qi Wuling took off his coat and threw it on the side of the bed, raised his hand and casually tied his hair, walked out of the room and went into the next room.

When Xu Yi saw that the person coming was Qi Wuling, he immediately jumped off the bed.

He smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm getting bored in this room. I was just thinking about going to the next room to play with you, and then you came over."

Qi Wuling did not answer.

He sat on the edge of the bed, legs crossed.

I asked a question unexpectedly: "What do you think our identity is when we came here?"

Because the question was asked suddenly, Xu Yi was stunned and patted his chest: "Emma, ​​you scared me. Let's not speak suddenly next time. I was scared to death."

After a pause, he thought about the question Qi Wuling asked and said, "The descendants of his father's brothers."

Qi Wuling nodded: "The people I saw in the hall today were all older men and ladies, with their offspring."

Xu Yi nodded: "Yes."

Qi Wuling continued, "If it was his father who died, there would be no problem inviting these people, even our so-called father. But it was his brother who died, and none of the invited people looked like his brother's friend."

this--

Xu Yi frowned when he heard this.

That’s true.

"Everyone who came today seemed to be a direct relative."

Qi Wuling said, "This doesn't seem like mourning, it's more like some kind of family event."

Xu Yi was lost in thought: "Family affairs? Could it be that our game mission is to fight for property?"

"Think about it, buddy. Our father and the previous owner of the botanical garden are brothers. What if the inheritance hasn't been divided yet? So today, that man finally managed to kill his father and brother, and the property finally fell into his hands. Then his goal is to kill the descendants who can continue the inheritance? Maybe he killed his brother."

Xu Yi analyzed the situation seriously, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that his analysis made sense.

"If you think about it this way, it still fits in with this horror game. Look, I've even found an excuse for him to kill us!"

……

Qi Wuling glanced at Xu Yi's passionate speech expressionlessly.

It is reasonable to suspect that Xu Yi has seen too many family struggles and scenes of mutual backstabbing.

Hmm... that's a good analysis. I won't analyze it next time.

Qi Wuling felt calm.

If people's interests are at stake, then after meeting each other today and asking about each other's well-being, they will get to the point within three sentences.

Absolutely not, we will delay when there is a conflict of interest.

Moreover, the guests are all elderly and experienced people. If they wanted to fight for the property, it would not have dragged on until now.

The fact that a young man who had just inherited a botanical garden and an ancient castle was able to maintain stability and not be sidelined even after his father and brother had both died, and that he was able to hold a funeral, was enough to prove that the new young man had some skills.

As for what wrist...

That's unknown.

But what is certain is that there is something strange about the young man...
