I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 74: Forest Ghost 2
The branches and leaves of the bushes were pushed aside, and the people inside twisted their bodies and squeezed out.

The hem of her white skirt was stained with some dirt, her hair was shoulder-length, and she had a pair of twinkling brown deer eyes.

She looks especially like her upstairs neighbor, the girl who cried all night.

After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"Toki-deer?"

Shi Lu's hand holding the stuffed bear trembled violently, and his face was full of shock. His eyes wandered over Lin Yuan's outfit, and his pink lips opened and closed before he finally uttered:
"What a coincidence..."

"dad."

This sentence almost killed Lin Yuanchuang.

Her hand shook and she almost stabbed the Blood Drinker.

"What are you yelling about?" Lin Yuan laughed angrily.

Shi Lu tilted his head in confusion: "I have to maintain my character."

"My identity is the daughter of a hunter, and you are dressed like a hunter. In the background story, the hunter is a man, so what else should I call you if not this?"

"If we don't call each other by name, what else can we call each other?"

Lin Yuan said this, his smile faded, and he asked, "I just got here and I'm going to the hunter's cabin. Where are you going?"

Shi Lu came out of the bushes, not caring about the mud on his body, but instead wiped the ears of the stuffed bear first: "I also want to go to the hunter's cabin. The control panel told me to go home and wait for the hunter."

"Let's go together..." When Shi Lu saw the wild boar in Lin Yuan's hand, his bright eyes widened slightly, and the words that were about to come out were choked in his throat.

At the same time, I couldn't help thinking.

Such a big wild boar, with a knife wound on its front leg joint, and a trap hanging on its hind leg, and it was being held in one hand.

Is this the Hunter's ability? Wow, that's amazing!
Lin Yuan walked in front, and Shi Lu followed behind holding the teddy bear.

After walking for about ten minutes, the two finally saw a wooden house.

【Hunter's Lodge】

Lin Yuan threw the wild boar carcass on the open ground and left it alone. Shi Lu looked at the wild boar with eager eyes: "There is so much meat, what a waste."

Lin Yuan, who was about to enter the hunter's cabin, paused and turned around and said, "If you don't want to waste it, just cook it yourself."

Shi Lu sat on a small bench in the yard and said regretfully, "It's a pity that it's in a copy, otherwise I would have really done it."

Seeing Lin Yuan enter the wooden house, Shi Lu explored outside the house.

*
Pushing open the door of the wooden house, Lin Yuan looked at every corner and began to explore.

Every place in the house has a sense of age, as if it had been painted with waxy yellow dye, and the furniture and facilities have an old smell.

It's not the kind of old-fashioned that means poor, but an interior layout that makes people dream of decades ago.

For some unknown reason, it makes people feel that the scene at this moment is very far away from reality.

Lin Yuan started to explore but found nothing.

The living room of the hunter's cabin is connected to the bedroom, and the bedroom is connected to the kitchen. Almost all the rooms are connected in a line.

Lin Yuan quickly finished her exploration. She turned the Bloodthirsty Knife back into a badge, quietly pinned it on her sleeve, and took the hunting knife from the house away.

"It's strange that a hunter doesn't have a gun at home."

"Hunting still requires an ancient hatchet and traps." Lin Yuan muttered to himself. When he walked out of the house, he looked up and saw the other four players who had rushed to the hunter's cabin for various reasons.

Four people stood by the fence, hesitating whether to come in.

When Yuan Fang saw Lin Yuan, his eyes lit up and he waved and greeted him.

"I am a lumberjack, and I have been friends with hunters for many years."

Lin Yuan waved in response while staring at the other person's bald head that was dazzling in the sunlight. He really wanted to persuade him to wear a hat.

Shi Lu rubbed his eyes, not realizing that the dust on his hands had stained his eyelids when he was rummaging in the woodshed just now. He whispered, "I am the daughter of a hunter."

The young man behind Yuan Fang looked at Lin Yuan, who was younger than him, and seemed to be trying hard to suppress something. He said with great difficulty, "Dad."

Lin Yuan: “…”

OK, I got another silly spore.

"I don't like these, just call me by my name."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and the awkward feeling in his heart was swept away: "My name is Qiu Xie."

"It's your... uh, son."

Lin Yuan stopped talking to Qiu Xie and looked at the remaining two unfamiliar players.

The wealthy woman in leather brushed her hair with her hand and uttered a few words with her red lips: "Zhu Siyun, your identity is the hunter's wife."

The remaining thin man with a gloomy temperament moved his lips and made a hoarse voice: "Wu Tu, an ordinary villager."

Lin Yuan held the hunting knife, his identity was obvious: "Lin Yuan, the hunter."

The six players met in the hunter's cabin and confirmed each other's identities.

There is no doubt that the hunter is the protagonist in this dungeon story.

Zhu Siyun and Wu Tu had different expressions.

Everyone's identity is inextricably linked to the Hunter. They originally thought that the Hunter must be the most important NPC or even the boss of this dungeon, but they didn't expect...

There are actually players who have obtained the identity of hunter.

According to the background story, the hunter has to go out to hunt ghosts.

Normal players would just try to avoid the weirdness, but the game actually allows people to get an identity that requires them to face danger. How much hatred must they have for that player?

And...in the NE ending, it's obvious that the hunter is going to die.

Even Qiu Xie, the young man with the most innocent face, looked at Lin Yuan with a hint of wariness.

Once the plot progresses to the later stages, they may push the hunter out for sacrifice in exchange for the opportunity to pass the level as NE.

Feeling the low atmosphere, Yuan Fang scratched his head and said, "Lin Yuan and Shi Lu went to the hunter's cabin first. Judging from your performance, you didn't find any clues, right?"

He gave an embarrassed smile: "Well, as soon as I came in, I sensed the location of the clue prop."

Shi Lu opened his eyes wide in surprise: "How is it possible?"

Lin Yuan said calmly: "Where is it?"

Yuan Fang winked quietly: "Hunter, come with me to get it."

The two men walked around the back of the wooden house, took a few dozen steps, and stopped by a gurgling stream.

Lin Yuan looked down and saw that the ditch was very deep, but the water was very shallow.

If it rains heavily, the stream may turn into a torrent.

"Xiao Lin." Yuan Fang's face straightened, he picked up a branch and sketched on the soil, "The current danger in the dense forest is wild beasts. I asked a few other people on the way here, and they all had wild beasts at their birthplaces."

He lifted his sleeves to show the claw marks on his arm: "A tiger scratched me. It's a minor wound, nothing serious. As for your identity as a hunter, I think you should be careful."

Lin Yuan nodded and recalled the background story of the copy.

——He killed the ghost.

But the ending of the dungeon clearly requires the player to witness the hunter's death.

Did the hunter kill the ghost, or did the ghost kill the hunter?

Yuan Fang used a branch to draw an abstract map on the muddy ground. After a pause, he suddenly said, "The treasure is behind the hunter's cabin."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan ran to the wall of the wooden house and suddenly his eyes stopped.

Deep within the mottled traces of moss lies a glittering fragment.
