Dead Soul Island: The scheming childhood sweetheart seduces the aloof beauty

Just as Jiang Lin and Mo Xizheng left the library, Ding Xuehui's expression changed. She pulled out a folding knife from somewhere in her pocket, covered Song He's mouth, and stabbed him several times in the heart.

She moved incredibly fast, deliberately turning sideways to make sure she wasn't splattered with blood, before running after Jiang Lin and Mo Xizheng. The moment Jiang Lin turned to look at her, she hid the folding knife behind her back and revealed a sweet smile.

Jiang Lin withdrew his gaze and said to Mo Xizheng beside him, "Brother Mo, there's a way we might be able to find Liang Yuan."

Mo Xizheng immediately realized: "You mean, the witch? Countess Green Xia Li?"

Jiang Lin: "I know where she is, but that place is dangerous."

"I'm going!" Mo Xizheng had barely finished speaking when heavy footsteps echoed in the hallway.

Everyone looked over and saw the murderous maid wielding a giant axe reappear.

"Isn't she dead?!" Ding Xuehui exclaimed.

"Run!" Jiang Lin immediately pulled Mo Xizheng around. However, Mo Xizheng's physical strength was simply insufficient to support strenuous exercise, and she couldn't go on after only a few steps.

"Jiang Lin, run!" Ding Xuehui looked anxiously at Jiang Lin, who was still standing still because of Mo Xizheng.

Jiang Lin's expression hardened, and he turned to look at the approaching murderous maid. Just as she was about to launch her attack, another identical iron axe flew from behind the maid and struck her on the back of the head.

Brain matter splattered everywhere, and with a loud "bang," the maid's corpse flew right in front of Jiang Lin.

A familiar, tall figure approached against the light, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Lin's eyes.

Ji Xingyi stepped over the murderous maid's corpse, pulled the axe embedded in her head, and came to Jiang Lin's side. Ignoring Ding Xuehui's chilling gaze, he carried the heavily injured Mo Xizheng on his back and said to Jiang Lin, "Let's go."

Ding Xuehui gritted her teeth in anger, but by Jiang Lin's side, she chose to suppress her rage and maintain her delicate and innocent image.

But she wasn't about to let Ji Xingyi off so easily. She deliberately grabbed Jiang Lin's right hand, and after seeing the change in Ji Xingyi's expression, she once again revealed a triumphant smile:

See? Only I can openly and honestly hold Jiang Lin's hand!

waste!

However, before she could laugh for long, another obstacle appeared in her path, and the person who came made Ding Xuehui's expression change instantly: "Ruan Qing!"

The girl was covered in blood. With each step she took, a section of her intestines flowed out of the open wound on her abdomen. She struggled to raise her head, revealing her unseeing eyes beneath her long hair, staring intently at Ding Xuehui.

"Crack... Crack..."

Ruan Qing's voice was muffled and indistinct, no one could hear it clearly, yet it still made Ding Xuehui's face turn deathly pale. She knew Ruan Qing was definitely calling her name, seeking revenge!

Ding Xuehui clung tightly to Jiang Lin's arm, her extreme guilt and panic causing her to hide behind him, too afraid to look any further.

As Ruan Qing gradually walked towards them, other figures appeared behind her.

Zheng Lu, the long-haired man with bangs who was killed by Ji Xingyi, Qiao Xiaomai, whose nose was bitten off by rats in the Blue Rose Pavilion, director Wu Hu with several bloody holes in his body, Zheng Zhaonan with not a single piece of good flesh, and so on—all the humans who died in the castle are resurrected in the Otherworld!

One after another they appeared, completely blocking the way to the attic.

Ji Xingyi put down Mo Xizheng on his back, handed him over to Jiang Lin, and said in a deep voice, "You go first, leave this to me."

Jiang Lin gave Ji Xingyi a deep look: "Be careful."

The three left, leaving Ji Xingyi to fight alone. Although his combat power was the ceiling among all players, the situation was not optimistic. Just as Zheng Lu's sharp knife was about to pierce Ji Xingyi's back, a large iron pot suddenly appeared and slapped Zheng Lu away with a "bang".

It turned out to be Chen Jiangqiao, the one whose head was beaten into a pig's head by Ji Xingyi last night.

Chen Jiangqiao leaned against Ji Xingyi's back with the iron pot in his hand, apologizing awkwardly, "I'm sorry about last night, I really didn't mean to."

Ji Xingyi snorted coldly. The witch's power lies in amplifying the evil thoughts in one's heart. If Chen Jiangqiao didn't have those thoughts, how could he be affected?

Ultimately, it was lust at first sight, but now was not the time to pursue it, and Ji Xingyi had no time to pay attention to it.

"Aaaaaah—what kind of monsters are these! Chen Jiangqiao! You liar! You said you'd take me out!" Zhao Ruoxi appeared out of nowhere, waving a large iron spoon around wildly.

Chen Jiangqiao rolled his eyes: "Who lied to you! Hurry up and deal with these guys!"

Jiang Lin carried Mo Xizheng and Ding Xuehui up the tower. When they reached the middle step, they heard squeaking sounds coming from above the spiral staircase. Looking up, they saw a swarm of rats cascading down from the top of the building like a black waterfall.

Ding Xuehui: "Jiang Lin, we can't get up there!"

A barely perceptible hint of coldness appeared at the corner of Jiang Lin's mouth: "We have to go up, whether we can or not. We must get the mission items!"

"But Jiang Lin..."

"Meow--"

Ding Xuehui's hurried voice was interrupted by a sudden meow from a cat.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a cat with clear fishbone patterns standing on the window of the tower, with a burly man beside it.

"Wang Liang!" Ding Xuehui exclaimed in surprise.

Since the third round of the variety show started filming, Wang Liang had completely disappeared after carrying the camera upstairs with Liang Yuan. Everyone assumed that this guy from Northeast China was dead, but unexpectedly, he was not only alive but also perfectly fine.

Wang Liang and the pear-shaped cat jumped down from the window one after the other: "Hey, long time no see!"

Upon seeing the rats overhead meowing loudly, the pear-shaped cat charged into the swarm like lightning.

Although it wasn't very big, its roar was comparable to a tiger descending the mountain, and with one swipe of its paw, it sent a group of black-haired rats flying, which was truly amazing!

Jiang Lin looked on in surprise: "Where did this Black Cat Sheriff come from?"

Wang Liang said proudly, "He's my son! His name is Mao Mao!"

"You can bring your cat into the dungeon?" Ding Xuehui blurted out, then realized that this wasn't a real cat, but an illusion!

"It's just a mouse! I'm not bragging, but when my cat Mao Mao goes for a walk, you can't find a single mouse within a ten-mile radius!"

Wang Liang grinned foolishly, showing off his big white teeth. Since the monsters in the other world were created by human emotions and obsessions, then of course Mao Mao, whom he had raised from a kitten, could be created too! He had personally fed him the milk, so his obsession was no less than those other things!

Jiang Lin: "The witch's power can amplify our emotions, but she can't control what we think."

If this emotion is positive, then it is not a harm to the player, but a help!

The premise is that this positive obsession is strong enough. Simply fantasizing about a cat cannot materialize it in the inner world, just as Chen Jiangqiao could not create the illusion of Green Xia Li without his obsession with her.

Ding Xuehui suddenly realized and looked at him with new respect. She had thought that this guy was really as strong as he looked, but he turned out to be quite shrewd despite his rough exterior.

"You guys go up and get the mission items first, I'll leave this to... Jia Mao Mao!" Wang Liang patted his chest generously!

"Thank you." Jiang Lin didn't say much more and immediately carried Mo Xizheng upstairs. Only by obtaining "The Sleeping Girl" could everyone clear the dungeon. Wang Liang was not only helping them, but also helping himself.

After a perilous journey, the three finally arrived safely at the rooftop of the attic.

Jiang Lin put down the Moxi zither, because Bernard was standing at the door waiting for them. He had expected this seemingly kind old man to also stop the three of them, but to his surprise, Bernard bowed to Jiang Lin and the others in greeting.

"The Earl has been waiting for you all for a long time. Please come in."

Seeing Jiang Lin step forward, Ding Xuehui couldn't help but tug at the young man's sleeve, her face showing some panic: "Jiang Lin... it's dangerous, we'd better not go in."
