Chapter 263 The Legend of the Seven Blood Robes
Because of the magic potion, although the toilet was dark, Xu Ercong could still see the vague appearance of the toilet.
The tiny toilet space was enveloped in pitch-black darkness, and the toilet was full of people!
Seven people, all wearing bright red clothes. The bright red color was particularly conspicuous in the toilet, as if the clothes were dyed with blood.
They lowered their heads, their bodies stiff, and crowded in the toilet in different strange postures.
Xu Ercong was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened.
Even though he thought he had a strong heart, he couldn't help but miss a beat when he saw such a strange scene.
“Are these people really human?”
Xu Ercong was a little confused. He pushed open the door, and for a moment he was not sure whether he should go in.
"Would it be a bit offensive to these seven guys if we went in like this?"
Xu Ercong stood outside the toilet door, picked up his mobile phone, and used the dim light to amplify the effect of the magic potion. He carefully looked at the seven things in red clothes.
The toilet was not very big, but these seven things filled the entire toilet. There was even one standing on the toilet lid. Maybe they were squeezed up there by other things.
These seven things can be roughly seen to be in human form, some standing or leaning. Their body postures look a bit strange, as if they had no bones, and were forcibly dragged by the red coats to stand.
"They are all dead people. They are corpses."
Xu Ercong frowned. After experiencing the first and second expansion packs, he could naturally tell the difference between the dead and the living through visual observation.
These seven creatures had no breathing or faint heartbeat sounds, and their bodies were so limp that they seemed to have no bones.
"It's just a corpse."
Xu Ercong used his clairvoyance to confirm the identities of these seven guys and heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that they were all dead, not ghosts.
But why were there seven corpses in the toilet on the first floor of the villa, and they were all wearing red clothes?
It was obvious that these seven people died at the hands of the same person or thing.
So who killed them?
Is it the little devil in red, or the old man in red?
Or maybe it's something else.
The problems that followed one after another troubled Xu Ercong, making him afraid to act rashly for a while. He felt that the complexity of his first task was a little beyond his imagination.
The mysterious monk and the evil spirit in red on the second floor, and the seven corpses in red in the toilet on the first floor, are there any connections between the two?
At this moment, a prompt sound suddenly came from Xu Ercong's divine system.
[Dear player, we have found your soul fragments, please obtain them as soon as possible. 】
After the prompt sound of the divine system, Xu Ercong's vision changed. In his eyes, the red clothes were emitting a faint strange light.
Next to each red coat, the name of the marked item [Xu Ercong's Soul Fragment] was floating in the void.
"Seven!"
Xu Ercong couldn't help but gasp: "My luck has exploded! There are seven fragments here! "
The red coats on these seven corpses are fragments of Xu Ercong's soul.
Xu Ercong originally thought that he could only obtain one soul fragment in a mission, but he didn't expect that he would find seven soul fragments in the first mission.
Although it is unknown how many soul fragments each player has in total, finding at least seven fragments at once is obviously a very good result.
"Take the pieces! Leave the villa!"
This is Xu Ercong’s only thought at the moment. No matter what’s weird about this villa, at least he can complete the task smoothly.
At this moment, Xu Ercong saw something out of the corner of his eye that shouldn't have appeared.
A blurry short red figure appeared beside him, standing in the corner of the toilet door.
Xu Ercong quickly turned his head and looked over.
The little boy in red appeared in the corner of the toilet door at some point. He squatted with his hands on his knees, curled up in the corner, his face pale, and stared at Xu Ercong with terrifying eyes.
"Fuck!"
Xu Ercong was shocked: "When did he show up?"
"It seems you have discovered something very important."
At the same time, an old voice sounded behind Xu Ercong: "I have always been curious about why you suddenly came here. Now I understand."
The figure of the old man in red also appeared behind Xu Ercong. His face full of age spots and wrinkles appeared beside Xu Ercong's ears. His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was smiling but not smiling: "We are all the same kind of people. We all came here for these seven blood-stained robes."
Sure enough, this little thing was a ghost creature he made! These two guys are in the same group!
"Senior, is there any misunderstanding between us?"
Xu Ercong dared not move, with a trace of cold sweat oozing out of his forehead: "I don't understand what you are saying, I don't know what bloody clothes are, I just want to go to the toilet."
"oh?"
The old man in red walked over to Xu Ercong and stood beside him. He looked at the seven bodies in the toilet, not disguising his greed and desire in his eyes. "Then why did you come to this villa wearing the same red clothes? Aren't you here for the blood-stained clothes? Only people wearing the same blood-stained clothes can see the blood-stained clothes."
"Senior, isn't this your villa?"
As Xu Ercong spoke, his mind raced as he thought about what kind of points props could save the situation.
The evil spirit in red was squatting on the side and staring at him. Xu Ercong didn't dare to act rashly.
"of course not."
The old man in red laughed in a low voice, as if a cold wind was blowing in his face: "For three years, I have been unable to open the door of this toilet. I am very curious about your methods."
"But unfortunately, even though you can open the door, you may not be able to take the blood-stained shirt away, because your shoes are not red, and you don't match the blood-stained shirt."
There are no red shoes in the suitcase of my game character, okay?
Xu Ercong roared in his heart: "You old pervert, do you think everyone is like you, wearing a pair of women's red embroidered shoes!"
"You helped me open the door, I should thank you, but I will still kill you."
The old man in red suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Ercong, his neck tilted abnormally, and his old face was filled with a creepy smile: "The blood-stained shirt can only be mine."
"Senior, this is a misunderstanding!"
Xu Ercong's heart trembled, and then he said firmly: "I just happened to open this door. I really wanted to go to the toilet. I don't care about bloody clothes or not."
"If you want it, senior, these seven pieces of clothing are all yours! I will never touch them!"
The old man in red looked at Xu Ercong suspiciously: "Do you really think so?"
"real!"
Xu Ercong nodded, his face full of sincerity: "Senior, these seven pieces of clothing look very strange. I don't even have time to dislike them, so why would I want them?"
No matter what, let’s calm this old man down first.
What if he died and was resurrected without knowing where he was resurrected? If he rushed back then, the blood-stained shirt would most likely have been taken away by this old man.
Xu Ercong felt that he had to find a way to take the bloody clothes away alive.
The old man in red was silent for a while. He glanced at Xu Ercong and nodded towards the toilet: "Go get me a bloody shirt to prove your words."
"Forehead?"
Xu Ercong, who was thinking about countermeasures in his mind, was suddenly stunned. He didn't expect that the old man trusted him so much.
Are all NPCs so innocent?
Isn’t he afraid that I will get the blood-stained robe, become much stronger, and then make a desperate counterattack?
"I know what you're thinking, but don't even think about doing anything."
The old man in red sneered at Xu Ercong and said, "Not everyone can touch the blood-stained robe, and not everyone can master it. You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."
Old man, but this is a fragment of my soul.
According to the game setting designed by the planner, players who obtain soul fragments will receive random inheritance rewards, which will improve the strength of the player's game character.
Xu Ercong muttered in his heart: "Old man, the weird thing is that you are an NPC, you don't know what a player is."
"Senior, I really won't compete with you!"
Xu Ercong quickly cupped his hands: "I'll get the clothes for you right away."
Xu Ercong didn't dare to look up, for he was afraid that the old man in red would see the joy and excitement in his eyes.
The NPCs in Death Note are so cute. I wish all the NPCs in this expansion pack were so innocent and cute.
Xu Ercong took a tentative step forward, and sure enough, no one stopped him.
The old man in red did not give any orders, and the little ghost in red just stared at Xu Ercong without moving.
Xu Ercong was delighted and took a few quick steps forward. Then he stretched out his left hand and grabbed the bloody clothes on the first corpse beside him. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the bloody clothes on the second corpse beside him.
Xu Ercong had thought it all out. He wanted to touch all the soul fragments as quickly as possible, absorb and inherit the soul fragments as quickly as possible, and improve his own strength.
After improving my strength, I might be able to kill this old man. At worst, even if I can't beat him and die, I will have successfully obtained all the blood-stained clothes, which is not too much of a loss.
Xu Ercong's reaction plan was normal, he was even prepared to hear the divine system.
However, the moment the fingers of his two hands touched the first and second bloody clothes.
The two corpses in blood-stained clothes suddenly became stiff. The originally shriveled, soft and boneless corpses suddenly grew taller, and two pairs of dry, pale and thin arms suddenly stretched out from the collars of the blood-stained clothes!
These two arms were the blood-stained ghost hands that Xu Ercong had seen in front of the window of the villa. The two ghost hands shot out from the collar of the blood-stained clothes as fast as lightning and grabbed Xu Ercong's neck tightly.
Xu Ercong had no time to react, let alone dodge.
The ghost hand strangled his neck. The seemingly frail ghost hand actually had amazing strength. It grabbed Xu Ercong and lifted his feet off the ground.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
The oxygen in his lungs was constantly disappearing. Xu Ercong felt severe pain in his neck and difficulty breathing. His eyes widened and his face gradually turned blue and purple.
An incomparable feeling of discomfort surged up. This was the most personal gaming experience Xu Ercong had ever had in which he felt death.
He even felt that he was really about to die.
What exactly is going on?
My soul fragments should be the equipment, skills, potential, and game attributes possessed by my game characters in the previous expansion worlds!
Why didn’t I succeed in absorbing the inherited soul fragments, and was instead attacked by a ghost hand that suddenly appeared!
Could it be that my previous speculations were all wrong? Or is there a loophole in the game rules?
This was the only thought in Xu Ercong's mind. He had no oxygen to think about more problems. He could only slap the ghost hand's arm hard and pull the bloody clothes on the corpse, but the ghost hand and the bloody clothes did not move at all, and his strength gradually weakened.
Xu Ercong's vision gradually became blurred, his breathing became weaker and weaker, his struggles became weaker and weaker, and even the sound of his breath becoming lighter and lighter.
He knew that his health bar was decreasing and he was about to die.
At this moment, he vaguely heard the cold laughter of the old man in red: "When the Seventh Blood Robe is born, there must be a living sacrifice. The blood and life of the first human who touches the Blood Robe is the best sacrifice."
"Poor child, it seems that you really don't know the legend of the Seven Blood Robes. I believe what you said, but I also need a sacrifice."
"Just die peacefully. After you die, I will refine your soul into a ghost and make it my most loyal subordinate..."
Xu Ercong couldn't hear the old man's later voice.
Xu Ercong was held high up by the ghost hand, with his head tilted, his eyes wide open, and his face blue and purple. He had stopped breathing.
At the last moment of his death, Xu Ercong only had time to hear a series of notifications from the divine system.
[Dear player, you have been attacked by the evil spirit of Seven Blood Clothes! ]
[You have received fatal damage! ]
【You are dead! 】
