Chapter 386: Die is better... Die all
The three newlyweds froze in their tracks. "What did you say? Someone died in the mourning hall?"
"One person died."
"How can this be the same?" someone said angrily.
"You guys didn't keep vigil properly, and triggered the rules, and now we're being asked to take the blame?"
"Yes."
Although they did not understand the rules of the dungeon, several senior people had explained it to them, and they also knew the seriousness of the matter.
If the difficulty of a task before the rules are triggered is e, then after the rules are triggered, the difficulty of the task may jump to d or c.
"This isn't our fault. The candle was blown out by the wind. Moreover, the man was already dead before the candle went out. Rather than triggering the rules, I think it's more likely that this was an inevitable plot."
Li Yue analyzed rationally: "Even if we weren't the ones keeping vigil, this was bound to happen."
"The groups are determined by drawing lots. You are assigned to guard the last four hours. All you have to do is keep the candles burning and don't fall asleep."
The three newcomers were very reluctant.
But after hearing that there were senior people waiting nearby, they reluctantly came to the mourning hall.
The handover between the two parties is completed.
Li Yue and the other two finally had some time to rest.
As soon as the other two people in her group left the mourning hall, they said strangely, "I don't know why, but I kept dozing off while sitting there. I couldn't help it no matter what I did."
"But after coming out, I felt my brain was much clearer and I wasn't as sleepy anymore."
"Yeah, you feel that way too?"
"Hey, I was so sleepy sitting there before that I could barely keep my eyes open. Luckily, the candles either need to be replaced all the time or the incense burns out a little too fast."
"Maybe the incense has some calming effect?"
The two newcomers looked much more energetic, but after enduring for such a long time, they probably had to continue their mission during the day, so they didn't dare to dawdle and quickly returned to their resting place and went to bed.
Li Yue tossed and turned for a long time before slowly falling asleep.
……
The three newcomers in the last group were assigned their tasks.
They didn't dare to get close to the corpse on the ground, as they felt it was even colder inside. Even if they got close to the fire, their bodies couldn't feel any better.
"Why is it so cold in here?"
"Hiss, the temperature is almost 10 degrees, right?"
"I should have brought the sheets earlier."
The three newcomers stayed there for a while.
Footsteps were heard outside the mourning hall, and a drunk man rushed in.
He was Li Laosan. After getting drunk, he thought of all the injustices in the past and came to the mourning hall to confront his father.
"Dad, you can be partial if you say so, but you can't be partial to this extent. I won't say anything about the second son, but he has made a career out of himself. What does he have?"
"But I just lost my job. Why did you give all the land to my eldest brother?"
"Burp~ Why is the photo falling over? What are you guys doing here keeping vigil? You're getting paid so much and you're not doing anything!"
"If you ask me, why would Second Brother waste this money? Just give me the money and I'll keep vigil for Dad. I can also show my filial piety."
Li Laosan was drunk and staggered as he walked. It seemed as if he didn't see Li Laoer's body on the ground.
He went straight to the front of the altar and lifted up the photo on it.
"Huh? Why is there so much water?"
Li Laosan's hands were covered in blood, but his blurry mind made it impossible for him to tell what it was.
He knelt in front of the photo, crying and wailing under the influence of alcohol, but no tears came out.
The three newcomers looked at each other, but Li Laosan did not interfere with their work. He just stood aside and watched what the NPC was doing.
While crying and complaining about his suffering, Li Laosan cursed the eldest brother for being cunning, the second brother for staying out of the matter, and his sisters for not helping him, and kept spitting out dirty words.
After getting angry, he even started scolding Mr. Li.
The main focus is an indiscriminate attack.
Compared to the honest eldest brother and the rich second brother, the third brother looks more like a lazy and idle person.
"The second brother is dead? It doesn't matter if he's dead. He's so rich, but he's unwilling to give me any money. I begged him so much, but he wouldn't even lend me a penny. Does he still consider me his brother?"
These words would probably only be said after he was drunk.
However, what Li Laosan didn't know was that while he was crying to his father, a man walked in quietly and stood behind him.
The newcomer sitting in front of the brazier was the first to notice her.
But when he saw the expressionless second son's wife, who exuded a cold and ghostly smell, he muttered a few words to himself and did not dare to go forward.
That’s right, the one who came was the second son’s wife.
After hearing the second brother's crying, his wife's body suddenly trembled. She took out a small knife from her clothes and stabbed Li Laosan in the back several times.
After getting drunk, Li Laosan's body senses became much duller. He staggered, "Who the hell hit me?"
He suddenly stood up and turned around with a ferocious face, wanting to teach the man a lesson.
However, when he saw Li Er's wife holding a bloody knife and staring at him with anger on her face, he seemed to have a premonition of something.
"Go to hell! Go down with him!"
After stabbing the second son’s wife, she also started to curse him.
The three newlyweds ate the melon that was delivered to their doorstep.
"You're such a heartless person. You're useless and yet you still rely on others. If my husband hadn't helped you find a job, with your character, who would accept you?"
"Instead of working hard, you spend all day eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. You don't do good things. You lost your job because someone came to collect the debt. If my husband hadn't paid for you to settle it, your legs would have been broken long ago."
"You still don't repent and continue to gamble. If I don't lend you money, you'll go and make trouble for my husband. What has my husband done to you that you're so dependent on him? Now that my husband is dead, you're still scolding him like this. Since you miss him so much, fine, I'll send you downstairs to accompany him now."
The newcomers nearby moved away, fearing they would be implicated. After hearing her words, they all looked surprised: "Scumbag."
"Killed..."
"Then you're going to save me?"
"They're all NPCs in the dungeon anyway, so go ahead and save them if you want."
Li Laosan started cursing and tried to rush over to snatch the knife from the second son's wife.
But one reason was that he drank too much and his body was somewhat out of control. In addition, he was stabbed several times and his body was still bleeding.
He lost too much blood and his strength was dwindling.
Finally, he was kicked to the ground by the second son's wife. After falling down, he twitched a few times and then became motionless.
"Dead...dead is better...let's all die..."
