I set up a shelter organization

Chapter 387 Found a key clue

The second son's wife looked crazy.

He was crying and laughing with a crazy look on his face, but when he looked at the two people lying on the ground, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely scary.

Her eyes were filled with hatred and malice, as if she wanted to devour them all.

This expression only lasted for a second, and soon she became dazed again.

She looked down at the knife in her hand, suddenly let go of it, and threw the knife to the ground. Then she ran out like a madman with a crying and laughing expression.

The three newcomers were trembling with fear at the farce.

I don't even know when the incense will burn out.

The incense goes out.

No new incense was added.

The smell of incense that had been lingering in the mourning hall gradually faded a lot.

The newcomers felt their minds become clearer, and the feeling of sleepiness that was always lingering in their heads disappeared a lot.

But the surrounding temperature is getting lower and lower.

at the same time.

The terrifying sound of scratching nails came from inside the coffin again.

"Damn! The fragrance is gone!"

A newlywed jumped up and took big steps to walk to the sacrificial basin to light new incense.

However, just as he reached the coffin, the lid was suddenly pushed open.

An old, pale hand reached out and grabbed him.

Then a huge force came and he was pulled into the coffin in an instant.

"Ah!" He screamed, "Save me, save me!"

But no matter how he struggled, he couldn't get rid of that hand.

The two newcomers finally reacted. They stepped forward and grabbed the man's two exposed legs, each holding one and pulling him up with force.

It's like tug-of-war.

Tang Ping soon heard the sound inside.

He didn't move when the NPC got into trouble before.

But as soon as something happened to the player, he immediately approached the mourning hall.

This is basically the setting in the copy.

The death of an NPC is more like a plot kill, or a tool to advance the plot.

Whether they live or die has nothing to do with the players.

However, the death of a player is like turning on a switch for a monster. Every time a player dies, the monster's ability will increase significantly.

Tang Ping rushed into the mourning hall quickly.

I saw two newcomers still pulling their legs there.

Tang Ping walked to the side of the coffin, took a closer look, and then said, "Let go."

The two newcomers looked confused.

He obediently let go of her hand.

Without the external force pulling, both legs were pulled into the coffin by the pulling force from inside.

There were crackling sounds coming from the coffin.

"...Why?" The two newcomers looked pale, not understanding why the senior wanted them to let go.

Tang Ping gave them a strange look and said, "Didn't you notice? He's dead."

The two newcomers' legs went weak.

Tang Ping looked around and found the incense that had burned out.

He walked over and relit the incense.

As the scent of the incense rushed into his nostrils, sleepiness began to surge into his brain. Tang Ping thought about it and understood something.

The stage of keeping vigil is all about willpower.

If you can endure the drowsy smell of the incense, or not be disturbed by other things, and do not let the incense and candles go out.

Then, the only ones who will die are the NPCs in the town.

Nothing will happen to the players.

But once the incense burns out, the ghosts will be free from restraint and will attack the players.

After figuring out the rules of the wake, Tang Ping felt much more relaxed.

Perhaps for newcomers, the illusion of keeping vigil is fraught with danger, but for veterans who have strengthened their physiques and have special skills and props, it is very safe.

So Tang Ping asked the two frightened newlyweds to rest, and he would be the one to keep vigil.

The two newlyweds were eager to have someone guard them, so they hurriedly thanked him and then crawled out of the mourning hall.

Xiao Lai is still exploring the plot.

He came to Old Man Li's room.

There were also photos of him in the room, but compared to the black and white photo on the mourning hall, the photo of Old Man Li in this room looked a lot younger.

Probably in his forties or fifties.

He dug out a small box from the bedside table.

There were some old photos and some papers inside.

There were some memories of the past written on it in very ugly handwriting.

It turned out that this town was very patriarchal, and baby girls were basically either given away or thrown away.

Only one in ten women survives.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer women in the town. When the men in the town grew up, they faced a problem: they were unable to get married.

There are too few women of marriageable age in the town, and even those who survive are married off early.

Most young men cannot find wives.

If a person has ability, he can go out and start a career like Li Laoer and find a wife outside.

But those who have this ability are still a minority.

Old man Li's generation came up with a solution. After getting to know some peddlers, they started buying some wives.

Some people have a conscience and treat the wives they buy very well.

Some people beat or scold the wives they bought.

Old man Li is also such a person.

He bought three wives in total.

These three wives gave birth to seven children for him.

Among them, there are three sons and four daughters.

Only two of them gave birth to sons, and the last one, the youngest, gave birth to daughters.

Old man Li was a very traditional person. He looked down on those who could not give birth to sons. Once, when he was drunk, he accidentally beat someone to death.

When Xiao saw this, he raised his eyebrows.

Basically, he already understood the plot of this copy.

If I'm not mistaken, it was this woman who was abducted and died miserably. After her death, she turned into a ghost and took revenge on this family.

If he wasn't a player, the female ghost would also attack them, and Xiao Lai would applaud.

Good kill, but it was a little late.

People die of old age, and it is still a happy funeral. They have enjoyed their whole lives and are dead. So what if their descendants are killed?

However, considering that Old Man Li was a man who attached great importance to continuing the family line, it would be more miserable for him to have no sons than to lose his life. So killing all his sons in his mourning hall was indeed a punishment for Old Man Li.

"It's so miserable."

Xiao Lai covered the box.

Then he received a prompt from the system that he had found a key clue and received an additional 500 points.

Xiao Lai put the box away with satisfaction.

The other two seniors also gained something.

The few newcomers who successfully kept vigil until dawn also received prompts from the system.

They received different participation points based on how long they participated and how dangerous the plot they participated in was.

The further you go, the more points you get for keeping vigil.

On the contrary, the two newcomers who gave up the wake got the least points, only a few points.

The first night of vigil passed.

It was daybreak.
