I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 81: Forest Ghost 9
Shi Lu came back to his senses, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

She bent down to pick up the hunting knife and said in a muffled voice: "The Hunter... really loves his family."

Lin Yuan saw that she was moving slowly and raised his eyebrows: "So?"

Shi Lu took a deep breath, his expression bitter, and said slowly: "I'm envious."

The hunter's memories touched Shi Lu's heart. The girl seemed to be shrouded in a layer of melancholy, and her expression hidden in the backlight could not be seen clearly.

Lin Yuan didn't say much, his dark eyes staring quietly at the night sky dotted with ghosts.

Suddenly, a voice rang in my ears.

[You receive an exclusive task from "Hunter"]

Lin Yuan immediately realized that this was a specific task corresponding to the identity, similar to the memories Yuan Fang had seen before as a "lumberjack".

The panel information is refreshed.

[Please follow the ghost out alone and find a way to kill the second ghost]

The Blood Drinker turned into a small utility knife and hid it in his sleeve. Lin Yuan pulled his sleeve unintentionally and said, "I just saw something specific. It's a hunter's exclusive task."

Yuan Fang had been alert to the ghosts outside and had no time to read the fragments of memories until now.

In his opinion, it had taken a lot of effort to kill the ghost in the cemetery. If he had to face the group of ghosts outside next, he would have no idea of ​​a way to survive.

Suppressing his annoyance, he turned around and asked, "What did you see?"

Hayashihara: "The game told me to follow the ghost out."

Yuan Fang: “What?”

It took two seconds for Yuan Fang to react, with a look of shock on his face: "You are alone? How can you handle so many ghosts?"

Even with three players working together, they could only barely take care of one ghost.

Although the scene where Lin Yuan raised his sword and killed the ghost was impressive, Yuan Fang subconsciously thought that what Lin Yuan was about to do was extremely dangerous.

He even wondered if the game was finally going to show its power. Seeing that the progress of cracking the story was gradually accelerating, he quickly sent down a plot kill to get rid of the hunter first.

"Lin Yuan, you..." Yuan Fang wanted to persuade the other party not to do this task, but after thinking about it, they didn't seem to have any power to refuse the game. Finally, he sighed helplessly and said, "Take care of yourself."

Lin Yuan nodded and turned his gaze to Shi Lu who was in a daze holding the hunting knife.

Lin Yuan stretched out his fingers and tapped the table. The crisp sound brought Shi Lu back to his senses.

"Shilu, I guess the mission corresponding to your identity is related to 'protecting yourself'."

Shi Lu stared at Lin Yuan intently, as if she wanted to remember every word she said.

"After I leave the hunting lodge, those people who humiliated my daughter in the story may come back. If it's me, you should know how I will retaliate against them."

Shi Lu tightened his grip on the knife handle: "No matter who they are, I will not let my 'daughter' get hurt again."

Lin Yuan curled the corners of his lips slightly, pulled his sleeves together, turned around and walked out of the hunter's cabin.

Shi Lu looked at the lonely figure walking away in the night, and couldn't help muttering: "I wish Lin Yuan..."

"--Lucky."

As the hunter left, the ghosts lingering outside the cabin spontaneously dispersed, as if they came only because of the hunter.

The dark cloud that had been weighing on my heart finally dissipated.

A ray of clear sunlight shone through the clouds in the sky. Although it was not that bright, it also heralded the arrival of daytime.

Yuan Fang suddenly said, "Shilu, the hunter cannot die. I would rather not have that NE ending."

A hint of determination flashed in Shi Lu's eyes, and the previous confusion was swept away.

"I want Lin Yuan to be alive. As long as the hunter is here, his family has a chance to survive."

This sentence also hides Shi Lu's selfish motives.

Yuan Fang thought for a moment and stated his position: "We have also been through life and death. If we want to take the route of surviving the hunter and saving the hunter's family, we need to be careful-"

Before the words "players with different views" came out, two familiar figures suddenly appeared outside the fence. They were the surviving "wife" Zhu Siyun and "villager" Wu Tu.

Yuan Fang was startled and was glad that Lin Yuan had already left the cabin. If he had been blocked by these two people, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Fence gate.

Zhu Siyun's fingers painted with bright red nail polish moved impatiently: "Finally back."

Zhu Siyun's eyes showed a hint of fear, and she felt anxious.

Last night, she and the young player Qiu Xie were like crazy, smashing the facilities in the wooden house and then walked out.

She tried hard to break free from control, but her body was completely out of control.

In a trance, she seemed to hear the mumbling of her original wife, but Zhu Siyun was in a state of shock and doubt at the time. She had no time to think about it and rushed out of the hunter's cabin in a daze.

Fortunately, apart from a few weak wild beasts on the road, she did not encounter any danger.

Qiu Xie and she were walking in the opposite direction. Zhu Siyun remembered that there was a very wide and deep river behind the wooden house. It started to rain heavily without any warning.

Qiu Xie's fate is unknown. Zhu Siyun secretly feels lucky that she lost control and ran forward. If she ran backward and had to cross the river, she really wouldn't know what to do.

Strangely enough...

Zhu Siyun's gaze moved to Wu Tu's face, which had a gloomy expression.

This person did not lose control last night, but followed him from a distance. He did not stop until the heavy rain stopped and he returned to normal.

After the two met, Wu Tu only said two words and went back to the hunter's cabin.

He said, "I'm taking the NE route, and the hunter is my target."

Wu Tu's sinister eyes wandered over Zhu Siyun: "You make your own choice, whether to quickly kill the hunter with me, or continue to wait for the crisis of the plot to come."

Zhu Siyun shuddered. Wu Tu almost revealed her thoughts clearly.

On the way here, Zhu Siyun looked at the ghost hanging on the wooden roof like a lamp, and dared not take a step, for fear that he would become the hunter in the story who "killed the ghost and fell into death himself."

It was not until the will-o'-the-wisp fires all gathered in one direction and Wu Tu entered the hunter's lodge that she slowly followed.

As soon as she entered the messy courtyard, Zhu Siyun was stunned.

She greeted Shi Lu stiffly: "Sister Xiaolu, are you back from outside?"

Shi Lu nodded slowly, his expression full of distance and defensiveness.

"Qiu Xie is dead. Do you know what happened last night?"

When Zhu Siyun heard Shi Lu's question, she did not answer immediately. Her mind was full of thoughts about how those three people actually came back alive.

Could it be that they really completed the next step of the plot?
"The hunter should still be in the house, right?"

A subtle sense of imbalance arose in her heart, but there was no sign of anything unusual on Zhu Siyun's face. She stepped onto the stairs and was stopped by Shi Lu.

"stop!"

Zhu Siyun stopped in shock, only to see a figure suddenly rushing out from behind him at a terrifying speed, like a gust of wind.

A whip made of woven iron rings suddenly flew out of Wu Tu's hand like an attacking poisonous snake.

Zhu Siyun thought that if the whip came down, Shi Lu’s delicate face would be disfigured on the spot.

However, Shi Lu seemed to have anticipated this and took out the prepared hunting knife and slapped the iron whip.

Zheng——

The iron whip was knocked off course, but it did not stop, as if the previous fierce attack was just a feint and it would be retracted as soon as it was said to.

Wu Tu had a blank expression on his face as he manipulated the iron whip to attack another person.

Someone who had nothing to do with this conflict.

——Yuan Fang.
