Pretty Fool's Live Clearance in Infinite World
Chapter 9 Castle 9
Seeing Lin Qi was there, Qin Ye quickly walked towards the boy and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, it's Li Mu..." Lin Qi glanced at Li Mu and felt shocked. Another person died, but still no one knew how they died.
"Wow, what should I do! Yaoyao is dead, Li Mu is dead too..." Wu Xuewen sat on the ground, holding her head and wailing: "I don't want to die, I know I was wrong... I didn't mean it..."
Lin Qi listened to Wu Xuewen's words and realized that something was wrong. He knew what wrong meant. What wrong had Wu Xuewen done before?
"Don't cry, Xiaoxue, it's okay..." Li Miao tried to control her expression and comforted her softly. She was upset by Wu Xuewen's crying, but Qin Ye was still here, so in order to maintain her image, she had to comfort her.
Qin Ye began to search Jin Li's body, but found nothing. He frowned and withdrew his hand.
Looking at Qin Ye's actions, no matter how stupid Lin Qi was, he knew what was going on. No wonder he couldn't find the ring after searching for it for the whole afternoon yesterday. It was because he didn't have the ring at all at that time.
Wang Yaoyao died, and the necklace appeared in her backpack. Or rather, it was on her body at first, and then her body was put into the bag. And this time, after Li Mu died, his body didn't disappear, so the ring was naturally on him. So, every time someone dies, something appears!
But how did Qin Ye discover this pattern? From the very beginning, Qin Ye seemed to know where to find the things. Lin Qi looked at Qin Ye thoughtfully.
Qin Ye withdrew his hand and turned his gaze to Ji Yuan: "Where's the thing?" Under Qin Ye's cold gaze, Ji Yuan chuckled: "Are you looking for this?"
Ji Yuan took out the ring from his pocket with a smile, took Lin Qi's hand, and placed the ring in the boy's palm. "Keep it safe."
"Give it to me?" The young man looked at the man with his glass-like eyes.
"It's not a gift." The man touched the boy's head and said, "You found it originally."
Seeing that the thing was finally in the young man's hands, Qin Ye didn't say anything more.
Wu Xuewen had a mental breakdown at this time and didn't care about anything. Li Miao, on the other hand, looked at Qin Ye, then at Lin Qi, pulled the corners of his mouth, lowered his head with a cold light in his eyes.
"Since the ring has been found, let's go find the butler," Song Jing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly suggested. He looked at Lin Qi with a smile, "It seems that this time, the reward is still yours, Xiao Qi."
When Lin Qi heard this, he smiled shyly on his delicate face: "Then let's go."
The group came to the study on the third floor, opened the door, and found that the housekeeper was still fiddling with roses there.
[He's truly a dedicated NPC!] Lin Qi suddenly said to the system in his mind.
[Why do you say that?] The system asked without hesitation.
"I stay in the study all day long, waiting for players to come and complete quests," the boy explained.
system:…
After entering the door, Lin Qi stopped talking to the system and walked up to the butler and handed the ring directly to him.
"Here you go, the ring."
Looking at the hand that the boy stretched out, it was white and slender, with long fingers, and the ring lay in the boy's palm.
When the man took the ring, his fingers deliberately touched the boy's palm. The boy immediately withdrew his hand and took a step back. The man's hand was icy cold, not the warmth that a living person should have.
Seeing this, Ji Yuan immediately stepped forward and hugged the young man, looking at the butler with cold eyes.
"Don't be nervous." Seeing the young man like a frightened rabbit, the butler smiled and took out a golden key from his pocket and handed it to the young man.
Ji Yuan reached out to take the key, but the housekeeper took it back and looked at Lin Qi without saying a word. His purpose was very clear: the young man had to come and get the key himself.
Ji Yuan took a step forward with a cold face, and was about to grab it, but was stopped by the boy. Seeing the boy looking up at the man with his glass-like eyes, he opened his lips and said, "Let me take it."
The man stepped back, and thinking of the boy looking up at him, he felt a little dry in the mouth.
Lin Qi walked forward and looked at the key handed over by the butler. Without looking at the naked desire in the butler's eyes, he reached out and took it away. When the butler saw the young man take the key, his smile deepened.
"When can we leave here!" Li Miao felt it was very irritating to see people surrounding Lin Qi one by one, especially Qin Ye who seemed to like Lin Qi as well. This made her even more annoyed with Lin Qi, as he was always flirting with other girls!
"Ah~ Well, thank you very much for helping me find my wife's lost jewelry, but—" the butler said with great regret, "Our young lady, my wife's daughter, has suddenly disappeared. To prevent her from escaping the castle, we must find her first before we can open the door and let you all leave."
"Are you kidding us?" Ji Yuan asked with a frown.
"No, now that you've found the young lady, you can really leave." The butler said seriously with a smile on his handsome face.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go find it!" Li Miao said impatiently when he heard that he could leave this damn place.
Lin Qi glanced at her and felt that she was a little weird, but he didn't think much about it.
"Then let's split up and look for him." Song Jing suggested and left the study first. Li Miao mustered up the courage, walked to Qin Ye's side and asked pitifully, "Qin Ye, I'm a little scared. Can I follow you?"
Qin Ye said coldly: "No."
Unexpectedly, Qin Ye refused so directly. Li Miao said awkwardly: "Okay, I, I'll go first." After that, he quickly left the study.
Lin Qi came to Wu Xuewen, supported her and planned to send her back to the room.
"Let me do it." Ji Yuan didn't want the boy to touch other people.
"No need, I'll take her back. You, you guys go find someone first." Lin Qi said this to Ji Yuan and Qin Ye at the same time.
"Okay." Without waiting for Ji Yuan to speak, Qin Ye took the lead and left the study room with long strides. Seeing this, Ji Yuan secretly cursed Qin Ye as a dog and said to the young man, "Then I'll go first and meet up with you later."
"Yeah," the young man responded to Ji Yuan perfunctorily without any sincerity. He just wanted to get them away.
After Ji Yuan left the study, Lin Qi helped Wu Xuewen downstairs and returned to her room.
Wu Xuewen sat on the bed, her body still trembling slightly. Lin Qi poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her.
"Thanks"
"Are you okay?" the boy looked at her and asked gently.
Wu Xuewen calmed down after the boy's comfort: "Much better, thank you."
Lin Qi was a little hesitant. He insisted on sending Wu Xuewen back to her room because he had something to ask her.
"What's wrong with you? If you have something to say, just say it directly." Seeing that the young man had something to ask but was embarrassed to ask, Wu Xuewen spoke directly.
Hearing Wu Xuewen say this, the young man asked directly: "What did you mean by what you said at Li Mu's door?"
When the woman heard this, her expression froze. She looked at the boy's naiveté and sighed. "Let me tell you a story," she said.
There was a little girl who had a younger brother. Her parents favored boys over girls, and since childhood, all the good things had gone to her younger brother. Although she was also very talented, her parents only had eyes for her younger brother. Later, the family's financial situation became difficult, and they could only send one child to school. Without a doubt, her parents chose her younger brother. From then on, the girl hated both her parents and her younger brother. So one day, when her parents were away, she took her younger brother outside to scare him, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred and a large truck took her younger brother's life.
"Later, my parents were very sad. They kept blaming me for killing my brother. I ran away from home and worked hard to study. Even after so many years, I still can't forget the sight of my brother lying in a pool of blood," Wu Xuewen said, covering her face and crying. "I really didn't expect this to happen. Since coming to this castle, I have dreamed of my brother every night."
Lin Qi didn't expect that Wu Xuewen, a student, would have such an experience.
——Oh my God, this is too cruel. You can’t kill your brother no matter what.
——What the above person said is right, this is obviously too much.
——Hey, hey, hey, please don’t stand on the moral high ground and accuse others. This is obviously a tragedy caused by parents’ preference for boys over girls. Although she was wrong, she didn’t do it on purpose.
——It’s funny. I didn’t mean it. What’s wrong? Is my brother dead?
……
The barrage is still full of heated arguments.
"Every night, he would knock on my door in the middle of the night and come into my dreams. I knew he hated me and was out to get revenge..."
"Knock on your door?" Lin Qi asked.
"Yes! Although I was dreaming, I am sure that he was knocking on my door in reality..." Wu Xuewen said crying.
[System, someone knocked on my door before.] Lin Qi suddenly thought of what Li Mu said in the hall before he died. He also said that someone was looking for him.
Does everyone dream? Wu Xuewen, Li Miao, even Ji Yuan and the others! Lin Qi suddenly understood. No wonder everyone looked so tired this morning. It was because they didn't sleep well yesterday.
According to what Wu Xuewen and Li Mu said, someone came to seek revenge in the middle of the night, and the deceased Wang Yaoyao was most likely one of them. But what about Ji Yuan and Song Jing? Did they do anything bad?
And there is Qin Ye. He always feels that Qin Ye is not simple. Was the person who came to his room and knocked on the door yesterday really Qin Ye?
All the information was exposed to the boy at once, and he was unable to react.
"You have a good rest and don't think too much. We will be out soon." The young man put away his thoughts and looked at the crying woman. He didn't know how to comfort Wu Xuewen. Maybe Wu Xuewen didn't intend to kill her brother, but her brother died because of her after all.
The boy then left the room and went to the stairs leading to the fourth floor from the third floor.
[Do you want to go up?] The system asked.
[I think I should go up and take a look.] Lin Qi looked at the stairs eagerly.
【Oh, then why don’t you move? 】
Lin Qi said shyly: [I'm a little scared]
system:……
Lin Qi took a deep breath, cheered himself up, and then shakily climbed the stairs. The light on the fourth floor was even dimmer, and the silence was eerie.
When he reached the last step, the boy's calves were shaking and his hands were tightly gripping the handrail.
Seeing the boy's cowardly look, the system suggested: [How about you find someone to accompany you?]
Lin Qi shook his head: [Let me take a look around first]
The young man took a deep breath and walked cautiously. Suddenly, he heard a faint sound. Lin Qi stopped and listened carefully.
