Volume 9: Vampires and Dungeons Chapter 25: A familiar scene (Part 2)
"What happened again?"
Looking at the servants who were surrounding him in a circle, the player who was in a bad mood asked directly.
He was too lazy to bother with so much now. Li Lin now understood that this was a place full of troubles. There was no time for peace.
According to various ancient artifacts and records in books, this family seemed to be cursed by something. They never had a peaceful moment from beginning to end, and big events that were earth-shattering in the eyes of mortals happened all the time.
For example, children are often born with strange shapes that are hard to call human. Family members often disappear completely at a certain time, and then reappear more than ten years later with no memory of their disappearance. Another example is that everyone always hears some inexplicable calls, and then suddenly commits suicide one night, forming some weird patterns or something.
There are even more news heard from the natives in the black tower, such as the offspring of evil gods, darkness that the holy light cannot penetrate, etc. Each one is more mysterious than the last, and it seems as if it is really the case.
But in fact, Li Lin doesn't care about this matter at all, and he doesn't pay attention to it.
Why? Because the task bar didn't change at all, it still revolved around that young man, so Li Lin was extremely annoyed with these extraneous things. You said you can't just follow the protagonist and let things happen? I awakened my magic power and my partner is a big demon, don't you know? Is it so difficult for you to adjust the difficulty? Li Lin didn't want to know what sins and pasts happened here, he only cared about one thing.
Where to go, how many to kill, who to kill, what to do. That's all. But after the mission revision, everything became unclear, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
It’s not that he wants to be a reckless man, nor that what he said in the past period of time was just nonsense, but he has been squatting here for two days.
You haven't completed any mission in two whole days. Isn't that a bit too much?
"Ah, Master Li Lin, the main point is this..."
The new person in charge, one of the young butlers under the old butler, a young man who looked a bit steady, looked at Li Lin's arrival, turned around and bowed gently, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.
"Just like before, we are tidying up the garden and planning to hold a banquet according to the Second Young Master's instructions. But just like before, we accidentally killed someone during the banquet. But don't worry, we will definitely complete everything as quickly as possible."
"Kill another one...?"
Li Lin frowned.
Even if he didn't want to get involved, his professional player's sense of smell still made him realize that something was wrong.
If it happened once, it was understandable, but it was a bit strange for it to happen a second time in such a short period of time. After all, these servants were professional, deaf-mute servants who had undergone professional quality training. The first time could be considered a mistake, but it was probably a bit strange for such a mistake to happen a second time in such a short period of time.
What's more, he screamed the first time, and the second time as well? Rather than screaming, it looked like some kind of deliberate ritual or a means to divert his and other people's attention. But the script was used twice in a short period of time. Was there something wrong? Or was there something wrong?
Li Lin thought for a moment, and whispered to the steward standing beside him:
"Take me to see it."
"I'm sorry, Master Li Lin, the scene inside doesn't seem suitable for someone of your status. Please wait a moment, we will be able to deal with it soon--"
"I said, take me to see it."
"I'm really sorry, we will deal with it as quickly as possible-"
"Take me to see it."
Li Lin looked at the young housekeeper's pupils and scolded in a low voice.
A layer of gray-brown light flashed in the butler's pupils. The butler, who was supposed to be loyal and absolute, was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and saluted Li Lin.
He didn't say anything extra, nor did he make any other moves . He just walked in front and motioned Li Lin to follow him. After a series of twists and turns, the two of them soon arrived at the place where the scream occurred.
A huge sculpture directly crushed a person to the ground. A group of deaf-mute servants and stewards were directing and wiping the blood and mud around. Seeing the new steward bringing Li Lin, these people showed some surprise on their faces, but they didn't say much, just stood there silently, waiting for the result.
These people have long developed an absolute hierarchy. Even if the upper class does many absurd and unreasonable things, these people will find their own excuses to convince themselves. So for Li Lin's appearance, these housekeepers who had received orders long ago only made a commotion for a moment and did not make any extreme reactions. Even when they saw Li Lin's pale light, directly lifting the entire sculpture from the ground and observing the flesh and blood inside, these people still remained calm.
A strange and terrifying calm, as if nothing had happened.
After completely opening the sculpture, Li Lin walked forward and observed it for a moment. Using detective techniques, he finally came to a definite conclusion.
This was not some stupid accident, but just a clumsy murder. There was no malicious act at all, but simply treating these servants loyal to the family as small consumables and conducting some unknown experiments.
"……snort."
really.
Looking at the bloody flesh flattened on the ground, Li Lin raised his eyebrows.
The corpse looked bloody and mangled, but the blood on it was obviously not the normal blood from being crushed by heavy objects. It was not the blood from being crushed by pressure or from the internal bones protruding and piercing.
It was obvious that he had intentionally pierced several nodes in places prone to bleeding, and a large pool of blood flowed out. Last time, this contradiction was ignored by Li Lin because he didn't care about the amount of bleeding, but only the fact that someone was dead. But now it seems that the truth is probably unexpectedly simple.
"Everyone, don't you have anything to explain?"
Looking at the silent housekeepers and managers, Li Lin showed .
