Chapter 210 Missing Person Notice (XIX)
But Qiao Yuan’s acting skills are very good, and it seems that he really didn’t hear it clearly.
Due to his dignity, Manager Tang could only grit his teeth and repeat it again. This time his voice was as loud as a bell, but his steps were particularly hurried when he left.
Qiao Yuan estimated that Manager Tang would not come back for a while, so she turned to look at Yan Shen and said that she had something to do and had to leave for a while. After all, since she was warned, the other party had become a dangerous person. Xu Lin might come to her door at any time, and if she continued to stay with him, she would probably be affected.
Between the truth and her life, Qiao Yuan still preferred the latter. Not to mention that if she and Yan Shen were involved in the ghost attack, according to the degree of Yan Shen's hatred for her, he would definitely use Xu Lin to deal with her.
In order to avoid running into Manager Tang while wandering in the corridor, Qiao Yuan found a room to hide in while resting.
As time passed, there was no news from Yan Shen. Chen Siyu and the others were obviously getting agitated. When Qiao Yuan received the message alert, he found that Chen Siyu had created a WeChat group without Yan Shen, and they were discussing what to do tonight.
Aning followed suit, her anxiety evident even from the words she wrote.
Aning: [What if Xu Lin comes to see me in the early morning like he did before?]
Chen Siyu also understood what she meant: [Yes, the time Shi Zimiao set is also around midnight. If Yan Shen can't make it...]
They don't need to worry about Yan Shen's safety, but their own safety is uncertain.
Aning: [Why don’t we talk to Xu Lin’s parents and let them accept the fact that their child has become a ghost]
Chen Siyu: [But according to the mission requirements, even if she becomes a ghost, she has to return to her parents]
…
Qiao Yuan saw their conversation, but she was not too worried. After all, when Xu Lin killed Qin Taiyang, it was very early in the morning, and she could feel that he was also anxious, perhaps even more anxious than them.
As it turned out, it was true. Just after nine o'clock in the evening, Qiao Yuan received a WeChat message from Lin Yanshen that looked like a group message.
The other party's words were equally brief: [Got it.]
These three words successfully brought the players together at their regular gathering place in an instant.
After catching the ghost, they can exchange it for Xu Lin's corpse to complete the task and leave the copy, so they don't have to worry about Manager Tang anymore.
Yan Shen arrived late.
Qiao Yuan was the first to notice his approach. He looked over and also noticed the ghost he was dragging.
Although they had seen photos before and knew that the ghost who attacked them was Xu Lin, this was the first time they saw each other.
Xu Lin's appearance was also frozen at the moment before her death. She looked much thinner than in the photo, and her purple face showed that she was no longer human.
She was still wearing the red dress, but it looked a little dirty, either because it was dragged on the ground or because it was splashed with blood when she was killed.
Other players also discovered Yan Shen and Gui one after another.
Aning screamed and subconsciously took a few steps back: "Xu Lin..."
Andre was better than Aning, but he was also pale. It was not until he saw Xu Lin lying on the ground with her eyes closed, apparently in a coma, that he breathed a sigh of relief: "She is..."
Yan Shen said lightly: "He completely fainted."
The audience in the live broadcast room also heard what the other party said.
[Fuck, he is indeed the God of Face, he actually caught a ghost]
[Yeah, and his tone is so calm . If I catch a ghost, I will have to use a loudspeaker to publicize it all the way.]
[This is your first time, but Yan Shen’s is not the first time]
[You really should have been in Yan Shen’s live broadcast room at that time, watching Yan Shen dealing with Xu Lin, the ghost almost kneeled down and begged for mercy, and Yan Shen is truly a role model for our generation]
[I really regret not watching it, it would be great if there was a screen recording]
[srds, I saw it too. Yan Shen seemed very angry at that time. The ghost was like he had run into a gun. I even felt a little sympathetic towards the ghost.]
After being reminded by this barrage, some people also discovered the clues.
[Yes, it seems that he was very angry when talking to Manager Tang, because he was warned by Manager Tang.]
[This... Why do I feel like he looked unhappy before Manager Tang spoke?]
[Isn't it because of Qiao Yuan? ]
[That makes sense. Didn’t someone say Yan Shen was paying close attention to Qiao Yuan?]
[It’s one thing to pay attention, but it’s another to be angry now. It seems that Qiao Yuan said something.]
[Didn’t Qiao Yuan just talk about flowers? And he was talking to a guest.]
[Is Yan Shen allergic to flowers?]
[I know about pollen allergy, but what is flower allergy?]
【Talking about the change of color of flowers】
[??? What kind of weird taboo is this, but I'll just write it down anyway]
However, even after hearing what Yan Shen said, Chen Siyu and the others still kept their distance vigilantly. After all, it was a ghost. However, there was already admiration in their eyes when they looked at Yan Shen.
Qiao Yuan sighed in her heart as she looked at Yan Shen standing here in one piece. Although she knew that Xu Lin had a small chance of dealing with Yan Shen, she still showed some disappointment when she saw him standing here in one piece.
However, Qiao Yuan put on a good front. When he saw Yan Shen coming back, he immediately showed that he cared about him: "It's a good thing you came back safely."
"Then let's take her to find Shi Zimiao now."
It was not known whether it was because Shi Zimiao stimulated the other party or Xu Lin just woke up. After Qiao Yuan finished speaking, she quickly opened her eyes.
Because she was a ghost, Xu Lin's eyes did not have the confusion of waking up. After opening her eyes, her eyes without pupils and only whites swept across the people present, and finally stopped at Yan Shen, with a horrified expression on her face: "Please let me go."
"I don't want to hurt you either, but a ghost killed me and has been looking for me. I'm trapped in the hotel and there's no way to escape..."
Having heard Shi Zimiao's words before, Chen Siyu did not have a good impression of Xu Lin in front of her, not to mention that the other party had pretended to be her before, which almost led to her being isolated.
Seeing the trembling female ghost in front of her, Chen Siyu interrupted her directly : "What does a ghost chasing you have to do with you wanting to kill us?"
Xu Lin's originally sad expression froze, and she looked a little guilty. She seemed to want to lie, but after seeing Yan Shen, she swallowed the lie and said honestly: "Because..."
"Because I heard someone say that I could leave here as long as I found a scapegoat. And I found that after killing someone, my strength increased a lot, so I thought I could take revenge..."
As Xu Lin spoke, his grievance was already evident in his words.
After all, in her opinion, she didn't know Shi Zimiao at all, but the other party suddenly appeared and claimed that she killed herself when she was four years old.
However, Xu Lin does not remember this incident, and her parents have never mentioned it.
What's more, she was too young at that time. Maybe she just accidentally hurt the other person because of the chase and play between her companions. However, Shi Zimiao always believed that she did it on purpose, which made Xu Lin feel that she was difficult to deal with.
But at that time, Shi Zimiao was a ghost, and she was powerless to resist. After becoming a ghost, Xu Lin also found that she could not compete with Shi Zimiao, who had been a ghost for many years, and could not even leave the hotel. She could only hide herself temporarily and wait for the opportunity. She had heard from the older generation that ghosts trapped in a certain place can only be freed by finding a scapegoat, so Xu Lin had the idea of finding a scapegoat.
Until she waited for Qiao Yuan and his group to arrive.
After killing Qin Taiyang, although Xu Lin was unable to leave the hotel, she found that her strength had increased a lot. She realized that perhaps as long as she continued to kill more people, she would be able to defeat Shi Zimiao.
I just didn't expect to meet the man in front of me.
Looking at Xu Lin's appearance, Chen Siyu realized that the other party had no intention of reflecting on himself at all, and his eyes revealed deep disgust.
Fei also spoke up at this time: "It's getting late, let's take her to Shi Zimiao quickly."
"Besides, if there is any misunderstanding between you, you can explain it in person."
Andre turned his head and glanced at Fei, who was talking to the ghost calmly, which was completely different from the fear he suppressed when he entered the dungeon before. Usually, Fei would turn his head and look back when he noticed his gaze, but this time, he had his back to him and never looked at him.
But he didn't get to watch for long, as Aning noticed and pulled his arm, whispering, "Are you looking at the princess?"
Although Aning's voice was low enough, Andrei, feeling guilty, subconsciously stopped her, and then glanced at other people, as if to make sure if they heard what Aning said.
Aning also saw the other person's expression. She bit her lip, as if trying to control her emotions, but her eyes were still red. "I just want to ask you a question."
"Who are you afraid of hearing?"
Andre also saw Aning's expression and the scars on his neck, which seemed to remind him of what he had done before. Guilt mixed with remorse overwhelmed him like a tide: "I..."
When Xu Lin heard Shi Zimiao's name, he was shocked and finally understood the purpose of these people in front of him.
She didn't want to see Shi Zimiao now.
With this thought in mind, Xu Lin, who was originally trembling, suddenly fought back.
But she was not stupid. She bypassed Yan Shen and went straight to other players.
Qiao Yuan's attention had just been on Yan Shen and Xu Lin. After noticing the change in Xu Lin's eyes, she quickly realized the problem and dodged to the side.
Fei and Sheng Guiye also noticed Qiao Yuan's actions. Although they didn't realize what was happening, they subconsciously followed her and hid back.
Chen Siyu also reacted the moment Xu Lin suddenly attacked and subconsciously dodged to the side.
But Andrei and Aning were not so lucky.
Andre was still thinking about how to answer Aning's question, and Aning's attention was on Andre in front of her. In the blink of an eye, a swollen figure appeared in their peripheral vision at the same time.
