Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

……

After Ying and Paimon left the Pure Good Palace, they went to find Elhesen, Tinari and the others.

However, after searching almost the entire city of Sumeru, Ying and Paimon still couldn't find Chu Xi.

After asking around, Ying found that no one had seen Chu Xi either, which made her wonder, where could Chu Xi have gone?

Ying still remembered Cyria's request to stop Chu Xi from searching for the true answer to the Eye of God.

Cyria reminded herself that this matter was absolutely important!

"Ying, where do you think Chu Xi went?"

Paimon looked around the Sumeru Grand Bazaar, looking left and right.

"Paimon, let's go to Liyue first, give the things to Zhongli, and then come back."

"Okay, then we'll come back later."

The two headed toward the nearest teleportation point.

……

The world of players.

After Ying and the others finished their interactions with the various characters from Sumeru, the storyline on Sumeru's side came to an end.

Before the players could even process what had just happened, a new mission appeared on the screen:

Kaiyang's last words.

The following is further information: The healing items you and Paimon brought to the injured Zhongli from the Great Tree of Compassion have arrived in Liyue…

The moment the mission's name was announced, the players went wild.

【Isn't there also my matter regarding Qingge?】

[Final thought: Could it be that Qingge isn't dead yet?!]

[What are you saying? We saw Qingge buried with our own eyes, how could she be dug up...? Damn it, the Abyss won't...!!!]

【***Abyss, you deserve to die!】

Chapter 222 Zombies?

Liyue.

After leaving Tianheng Mountain yesterday, Qingge traveled in hiding until she arrived at a village.

Qingge, now a living dead, had a very faint aura, and because she deliberately concealed herself, she was difficult to detect unless one encountered her head-on.

Her movements were stiff, but not slow.

Qingge's consciousness was very hazy, like a state between sleep and wakefulness, and she had difficulty controlling her body. She was able to get here entirely by instinct.

This place has the atmosphere she likes.

On a small path a few hundred meters from the village, two hunters, carrying a wild boar, were huffing and puffing as they hurried back.

The wild boar they were carrying weighed at least 200 pounds. The two of them had been lying in ambush for a long time for this boar, and because the boar was so heavy, any slight delay caused them to return late.

It was already dark, and for some reason, the moon was very bright and round tonight, so the two of them didn't need to light torches to see the way.

While crossing a bamboo forest, the two heard creaking sounds coming from the bamboo, as if something was rummaging through the bamboo.

"Old Li, what's that noise?"

"Could it be that wild boars have wandered over here?"

They exchanged a glance, then tacitly put down the wild boar, preparing to sneak up and take a look.

If it really is some foolish wild boar that wandered here, then that's even better; we'll have one more prey.

The two hunters followed the sound into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Suddenly, one of the younger hunters stepped on a fallen leaf. The leaf was dry, and the sound of it cracking was jarring at that moment.

The creaking sound in the distance also disappeared.

The young hunter felt a pang of guilt and was about to ask the old hunter beside him if they should continue when the old hunter suddenly raised his hand.

The moment the old man raised his hand, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side, and a right hand directly grabbed the young hunter's throat.

The young hunter let out a muffled groan. The old hunter had no time to think, so he immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow into the back of the charging figure.

The arrows bounced off as if they had hit a steel plate.

The figure, attacked, quickly turned around, revealing bloodshot eyes and a bloodless face, looking utterly horrified.

The old hunter was stunned with fright, then shouted:

"Zombies!"

The old hunter, no longer caring about the young hunter, immediately scrambled away on all fours to get to the distance.

The figure was Qingge. She turned around and stared at the young hunter whose throat she was gripping. His eyes were filled with terror, and his limbs were frantically attacking her.

Qingge opened her mouth, and her two sharp teeth gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

The young hunter was terrified, his pupils dilated, and he screamed, "Help! Help me!! Ahhh!!"

Hearing the young hunter's cries, the old hunter ran even faster.

Just as Qingge's teeth were about to touch the young man's neck, Qingge suddenly regained some of her senses and pulled her outstretched head back.

Unfortunately, she only had a sliver of reason left, and Qingge, who had lost consciousness again, bit the young hunter once more.

Before biting through the young hunter's neck, Qingge regained a sliver of her sanity, and then…

Loss of consciousness... regain sanity... lose of consciousness... regain sanity...

The young hunter finally fainted from fright.

Seeing that the young hunter had fainted from fright, Qingge put him down, kindly positioned him in a comfortable position, and then quickly left the area.

Of course, she was faking regaining consciousness; her acting skills were already impeccable.

……

The next day, Liyue Harbor.

"Zombies?"

Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, a junior commander of the Qianyan Army frowned and asked again, uncertainly.

"Yes, that's what the two hunters who reported the incident said."

"Where is he? I'll go check."

The young commander had only taken a few steps when a girl with cat ears and black stockings walked in.

"You just said zombies?"

"Greetings, Lady Keqing!"

"Where are the hunters you speak of? Take me there."

Kaiyang Star has not yet selected a new member, and everyone is intentionally avoiding this problem.

The person currently in charge of matters concerning Kaiyang Star is Feng Yan. He is very capable, and Ke Qing occasionally comes to help.

Zombies, monsters that only appear in the legends of Liyue, are truly blood-sucking zombies?

The Thousand Rock Army soldier led Ke Qing to the two hunters.

"Lady Keqing, it's Lady Keqing! You must do justice for us!"

Upon seeing Ke Qing, the old hunter immediately began to weep and lament.

Ke Qing raised her hand to stop his sobbing and made him tell her everything in detail.

Recalling everything that happened, the old hunter's eyes were filled with fear.

"Lady Keqing, it was like this, back then..."

The old hunter told Keqing everything that had happened the night before. After listening, Keqing looked at the young hunter who seemed very unwell.

The old hunter explained, "After I returned to the village, I gathered a lot of people and went to that bamboo forest again. We found him lying on the ground. I thought he had been killed, but when I got closer, I realized he wasn't. He's been in a daze since yesterday, and he must have been so frightened that he lost his soul!"

Ke Qing pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, you take him to Bubulu first. As for the zombie you mentioned, I will take people to deal with it later."

"Thank you Lord Keqing, thank you Lord Keqing!"

After the old hunter left, Keqing said to the junior commander beside her, "Leave this matter to me. You just need to do your job."

"Yes, Lady Keqing!"

……

Hall of Rebirth.

Ying and Paimon had just handed over the things that the Great Tree King had entrusted to them to Zhongli and were about to leave when they ran into Keqing at the door.

"Traveler, and Paimon, when did you return?"

Ying: "We're here too, we just got back. We need to talk to Zhongli about something. Keqing, what about you?"

“Someone reported encountering zombies in a village west of Liyue Harbor. I’ve come to consult with Master Hu about some things.”

Ying is a good friend of Liyue, and there's nothing she can't tell.

"A zombie?!"

Paimon felt a chill run down his spine and immediately hid behind Ying.

She's most afraid of demons and monsters, and Paimon is terrified just hearing about zombies, monsters from the Liyue lore.

"Are there really zombies?" Ying was also surprised.

Ke Qing: "Those two hunters don't seem to be lying, but it's also possible that they mistook something else for something else, or that someone is impersonating them."

Keqing entered the Hall of Rebirth, and Ying and Paimon followed behind her.

……

The world of players.

Zombies?!

[Hiss, is it starting to veer towards horror?]

[Liyue, zombies, hmm, that makes sense.]

[This task is Kaiyang's Last Words; if it's Qingge's role, would that be...?]

Are there any scary scenes? Is it suitable to play at night?

Chapter 223 Waiting for the rabbit

Hall of Rebirth.

"What, zombies?!"

Hu Tao's beautiful plum blossom eyes were filled with shock. Besides Qi Qi, there were actually zombies?

"Has anyone been murdered?" Hu Tao asked Ke Qing.

Ke Qing: "The witnesses were two hunters, both of whom were frightened to varying degrees, but no one was killed. The young hunter was so frightened that he was somewhat delirious and has just been taken to Bubulu."

Hu Tao touched her smooth chin, her expression serious.

Zombie, I don't know which kind...

Is it the kind that's conscious, like Qiqi?

Still unconscious? A zombie that, according to legend, sustains its physical activity by drinking human blood?

Neither of these is a small matter for Liyue.

It's a pity that Zhongli just left not long ago, otherwise I could have asked him.
