The players learned about the Wu family from Liu Dong.

They realized that Wu San's mother's death was not normal and wanted to start their investigation from there.

However, they cannot leave the village, so how can they conduct the investigation?
Should we ask Wu San what his mother did?
Wu San definitely won't tell.

The player who added Zhao Zhuo said, "Wu San's mother is buried near the village. Should we go and check her grave?"

Qian Xin: "How do we investigate? Dig up graves? Won't that anger the ghosts and make them come looking for us in the middle of the night?"

A player named Qu Rou said, "I talked to Aunt Wu, and she seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with her mother-in-law."

The players exchanged glances and decided to start with Aunt Wu.

In this world, no one doesn't love money, and no woman doesn't love jewelry.

Qian Miao took out a piece of gold jewelry that she had obtained in a certain instance and handed it to Qu Rou.

Qu Rou took the gold bracelet, which weighed at least one ounce, to see Aunt Wu.

Aunt Wu's eyes widened when she saw the gold bracelet.

Qu Rou smiled and said, "Third Aunt, I'd like to ask you some questions about your mother-in-law. This is a token of my gratitude."

Aunt Wu reached for the gold bracelet, but Qu Rou raised her hand to dodge it and laughed, "You haven't told me yet."

Aunt Wu took a deep breath and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Qu Rou: "The more detailed the information about your mother-in-law, the better."

Aunt Wu: "My mother-in-law was a matchmaker. She not only paired up living people, but also dead people."

Qu Rou: "...Mother Wu arranged marriages for the living too many times for Aunt Wu to remember clearly. But Aunt Wu remembered that Mother Wu arranged marriages for the dead in seven cases. Six of them involved couples who had already died. Only one case involved a woman who was still alive, who was bought by the man and married in the afterlife."

Upon hearing the last sentence, all the players frowned.

They intuitively felt that Wu's mother's situation was likely related to the last ghost marriage, but Qu Rou said, "That ghost marriage happened twenty years ago."

It's been that long?

Even if the woman was resentful and wanted revenge, she should have done so twenty years ago.

Instead of waiting more than ten years to take revenge.

Qian Xin: "It's not impossible. What if that woman's power after transforming into a ghost queen isn't that great? And what if Wu's mother has some kind of protective treasure? After all, she would definitely have taken some precautions before doing something so despicable, right?"

Zhao and the others nodded in agreement.

Qu Rou said, "There's another piece of news..."

Everyone waited for her to continue.

Qu Rou: "The bride in the ghost marriage came from Huanxi Village, and the groom was from the Song family."

Huanxi Village is the village where they are now.

Everyone perked up upon hearing this.

Connected.

Song Family Cemetery, Huanxi Village, Matchmaker Wu's Mother...

The clues are connecting!

It seems the mastermind behind the village is the woman who was forced into a ghost marriage.

The group decided to go back to the Song family cemetery to find the woman's grave.

To defeat the female ghost boss, you can start by exploring her graveyard.

Her remains, now in the hands of the players, probably won't be able to cause much damage, right?

The group arrived at the cemetery and began their search.

A moment later, Qian Miao's voice rang out: "Found it."

The crowd gathered around and, upon seeing the names engraved on the stone tablet, confirmed that it was indeed the tomb of the female boss and her ghost husband.

Everyone looked at each other.

Should we dig?

dig!
The group went into the village and found some tools, then began digging the grave.

The grave was dug up, revealing the coffin.

The crowd lifted the coffin lid—

They were all taken aback!
"How not?"

The coffin was empty; there were no remains of either the woman or the man.

Everyone looked at each other.

The group filled the coffin back with soil and returned to the village. They sat in a circle, bewildered and disappointed, unable to understand where the contents of the coffin had gone.

Could it be that the woman who was supposed to have a ghost marriage did not die?
And what about her husband?

That was a real dead person; it couldn't have been that someone stole the remains, could it?

Just then, a cat's meow reached everyone's ears.

Everyone saw a black cat chasing a mouse away.

A guess popped into Qian Xin's mind.

"Um..." Qian Xin said, "Is it possible that those two evolved into zombies?"

"What?" the others exclaimed in unison.

After the initial surprise, everyone felt that what Qian Xin said was very likely true.

"Zombies..." Zhao Zhuo sighed, they had never encountered zombies before, "I wonder if they'll be easy to deal with?"

Everyone felt the same headache and pondered what could be used to deal with the zombies.

Of course, their knowledge of zombies all comes from a real-world actor who specializes in making supernatural films.

Regardless of whether the methods used in the movie were reliable or not, the players began preparing to deal with zombies according to the methods shown in the movie.

Several players went to the villagers to buy roosters and black dogs. They also wanted to buy cinnabar and inkstone, but where in the village could they buy these things?
Players can only continue to think of what else can counter the zombies.

"garlic?"

"That's for dealing with vampires."

"Five Emperors' Coins? A Copper Coin Sword?"

"The village doesn't even have cinnabar, so how could they have this?"

Qian Xin: "Peach wood sword!"

Seeing that everyone was about to object, Qian Xin quickly said, "Our amulets are made of peach wood, which means there is peach wood nearby. Let's go and ask that little boy to make us a peach wood sword!"

Qu Rou: "What if he doesn't do it?"

Qian Xin: "As long as we have peach wood, we can make it ourselves."

I just don't know if it will have any power.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they all rushed towards Liu Dong's residence.

Liu Dong raised her eyelids and asked them, "What is it now?"

Qian Xin grinned and stepped forward: "Hey kid, do you know how to carve wooden swords? I mean, peach wood swords."

Liu raised an eyebrow. These guys are pretty smart, aren't they?

Liu Dong: "Yes."

Qian Xin: "Then could you make ten peach wood swords for us? We'll trade you something in return."

Liu Tong: "You guys still have snacks?"

Qian Xin shook his head; all the snacks had been exchanged for amulets.

Liu Tong: "Then what will you use to exchange?"

Qian Xin and the other players looked at each other in bewilderment.

What should we exchange it for?

The group began to rummage through their system inventory.

A player pulled a martial arts novel out of his backpack; it was something he used to pass the time.

Just as he was about to throw the novel back into his backpack, Liu Dong called out to him.

"Let me see it,"

The player handed the novel to Liu Tong in surprise.

Liu Dong took it and looked through it. It seemed to be a specialty of the player world, something he had never seen in other worlds.

Liu Tong: "Give me this novel, and I'll make you a peach wood sword."

The player was overjoyed: "Here you go, here you go!"

All the other players looked at that player with envy, and checked their own backpacks again, wondering if they had collected any novels.

Zhao Zhuo took out a cell phone.

"Um, can I trade you my phone for yours?" (End of Chapter)
