I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 48 Xue Qing's Family

We sneaked into the target building complex, which was the judges' dormitory. It was strictly managed and each room was marked with the name and photo of the members.

Lin originally found the place where Xue Qing lived before his death and pushed the door open.

The room was empty, and on the clean and tidy desk, she saw an unwanted notebook.

Lin Yuan walked over and held the notebook in his hands. Suddenly, a piece of paper that had been kept for some time fell out of the notebook, and the pages were slightly yellowed.

Lin Yuan gently held the paper, glanced at it roughly, and found that it was a will.

It said that Xue Qing was supposed to have a pension and savings of one thousand gold coins, as well as a family heirloom ruby.

...These things are what Xue Qing wants to leave for her family.

Lin Yuan searched everywhere and turned the whole room upside down but couldn't find the two things.

After thinking about it, I thought that the judge who stopped me earlier might know something.

Lin Yuan decided to "visit" the other party's home.

The same trick was used to find the judge's residence. The judge's room, which was filled with valuable things, was in stark contrast to Xue Qing.

With a sneer, Lin Yuan began to search, and indeed he found rubies and some gold coins.

[Gold coins: 2000+]

"He's too greedy to steal the money of a dead person."

Muttering to himself, Lin Yuan put the thing into his pocket and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

A subtle feeling of dissatisfaction arose in her heart, not because Lin Yuan suddenly became moral, but because she felt uncomfortable when she thought of the faces of the judge and the chief justice.

They ignored my kind advice and insisted on making me go through a lot of trouble to retrieve Xue Qing's belongings.

Lin Yuan doesn't like to see people he hates laughing happily.

"If you like gold coins so much, I will take all your gold coins away."

There were many valuable items in the room, and Lin Yuan couldn't take them all away, so she chose to deal with them nearby.

Lin Yuan did what he said. He took out all the things in the room and distributed them evenly among the nearby dormitories.

During this time, she accidentally threw some unspeakable item hidden among valuables into the room of some unlucky person.

Lin Yuan had no idea how much rumors and shock his actions would cause in the court in the future.

——These are all stories for later.

After getting Xue Qing's things, Lin Yuan left the courtroom and asked around on the road, and finally found the residence of the other party's mother.

Xue Qing's mother's home was a small, run-down apartment with stairs, even worse than the entry-level apartment that Lin Yuan rented in the North City District.

The old door was covered with messy advertisements, some of the advertising cards had torn corners and blurred words.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, thinking that these advertisements must have existed for a long time, and the door had existed even longer.

I heard that Xue Qing's mother has been living here, and her financial situation may not be very good.

Lin Yuan's movements suddenly became much more reserved, and he tapped on the door carefully with his fingers.

After waiting for a while, the door creaked open.

A hunchbacked woman with gray hair was stunned when she saw the stranger.

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Xue Qing's friend."

Lin Yuan tried his best to make his expression normal and not scary.

In fact, she is good-looking, and when she is reserved and restrained, she really looks like a good person.

When Aunt Xue heard Lin Yuan claiming to be Xue Qing's friend, she suddenly trembled.

Looking over with suspicion, Lin Yuan discovered that tears were glinting in the old woman's eyes.

But... the other person's emotions were clearly excitement and happiness.

"You are Aqing's friend, sit here."

Aunt Xue cleaned up the most comfortable seat in the room, which was an old sofa that could only accommodate one person, and next to it were a few hard benches.

One of the stools had a broken leg, but it was not thrown away. A pile of waste paper was used to pad it, so it could still be used. After asking Lin Yuan to sit down, Aunt Xue went into the kitchen and was busy with something.

Lin Yuan sat on the sofa, quietly looking around the room, his mind full of thoughts.

Speaking of which, this was her first time entering an aboriginal house.

Recalling the scenery he saw along the way, Lin Yuan thought that this place was actually no different from reality.

The north and south urban areas of Zhongxing City are like real small towns, a bit backward but full of life.

Perhaps the people here are very well protected. They don't have the huge pressure of survival like the players, and their lives are peaceful and ordinary.

They live more like humans.

His eyes swept across the award certificates posted on the wall, and Lin Yuan saw the names "Xue Qing" and "Xue Chenguang" appearing alternately.

Lin Yuan was touched and suddenly asked, "Auntie, how old is Xue Qing this year?"

The woman with wrinkles on her face brought out a bowl of steaming noodles. She was obviously the host, but she was more restrained than Lin Yuan, the guest.

Aunt Xue didn't think much about it: "Ah Qing is nineteen."

She sat on the small stool covered with waste paper, her tone a little nervous, and she asked timidly, "Sister, is Aqing okay in the courtroom?"

The bowl of noodles used to entertain customers was pushed forward.

Lin Yuan's movements froze, his eyes shifted away awkwardly, and he suddenly lost his appetite.

"…She's fine."

Looking at the light of hope in the old woman's eyes, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and took out the notebook, ruby, and the two thousand gold coins he had looted.

Aunt Xue looked at the things she took out and was at a loss.

Lin Yuan's lips twitched, with an ambiguous expression: "She is fine, but she has taken a long-term mission in the Tribunal, and will not be able to come back for a long time in the future."

He glanced at the things in the room again and looked at the dates on the award certificates. They must have been awarded when Xue Qing was very young.

At that time, Xue Qing's family was still there.

A feeling of sympathy surged in his heart, and countless words rolled in his throat. Lin Yuan blinked and spoke the truth.

"Auntie, Xue Qing and I are only one year apart in age, but she lives a happier life than me."

"She has family and friends, and I have only myself."

"Auntie, excuse me, she just asked me to bring some things..."

"…I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Finally unable to continue speaking, Lin Yuan simply said goodbye and left Aunt Xue's house.

I walked alone on the roads in the south city for a long time.

Lin Yuan didn't return to the North City until the emotions in his heart eased and his clenched fists relaxed slightly.

Xue Qing's matter was over, and she shouldn't think about it anymore.

Lin Yuan walked straight towards home, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar shadow downstairs.

The homeless man sat on the steps, not knowing what he was thinking, and his expression looked a little nervous.

"Why are you still here?"

The homeless man raised his head in surprise. Realizing that the other party was in a bad mood, Liu Lang's tone unconsciously weakened.

"I found a way to avenge Juliet."

Liu Lang looked hesitant and took out something.
