Chapter 536 World Invasion: Cannon Fodder in Infinite Terror VS The Ghost King Killed by the Origina
Upon arriving at the village chief's house, Su Jinyue first set up a protective barrier before she and Xiao Jing'an pushed open the door and went inside.
Hearing the noise, Yu Shiwan and the others turned to look, only to see Su Jinyue, who had been missing for two days and whom they thought was probably dead, standing safely in front of them.
Yu Shiwan, in particular, never expected that Su Jinyue would become the bride at the wedding they attended the day before yesterday!
Su Jinyue didn't care at all what the other mission participants thought of her.
As soon as they entered the village chief's house, she and Xiao Jing'an immediately took action, targeting the village chief and the remaining villagers.
These people couldn't even handle Zhou Xinlang, that vengeful ghost, so naturally they couldn't escape Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an's clutches either.
The villagers were completely incapable of fighting; only the village chief's abilities were passable.
Yu Shiwan and the others were stunned. Before they could react, Su Jinyue and the groom attacked the villagers.
Moreover, their moves were incredibly swift and decisive, each strike a kill without any hesitation.
After Su Jinyue had killed almost all of them, Yu Shiwan remembered to stop her. She got up, rushed to Su Jinyue's side, and stretched out her arms to stop Su Jinyue from killing.
"Sister Jinyue, why did you start killing people right away? Even if this is a game instance, you can't just kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
Su Jinyue stopped and looked at the righteous and stern Yu Shiwan, as well as Feng Jianxiao, who was protecting Yu Shiwan like a guardian angel behind her.
Then, she turned to look at the reactions of the remaining seven people. Fortunately, apart from Yu Shiwan, who was rather agitated, the reactions of the others were relatively normal.
Su Jinyue looked at Yu Shiwan again and kindly explained, "I'm only killing bad people now. The Zhou family were the landlords of Huai Shu Village. The villagers coveted their wealth and plotted to kill the entire Zhou family."
The village chief was the mastermind, and all the villagers were accomplices; they deserved to die.
Despite learning the truth from Su Jinyue, Yu Shiwan did not believe the so-called truth.
Or perhaps she simply didn't want to believe the truth Su Jinyue was telling.
"Sister Jinyue, do you have any evidence? You disappeared for two days, and when you came back, you slaughtered all the villagers. We don't know if what you're saying is true or false, so how can we believe you?"
Feng Jianxiao protected Yu Shiwan from behind, while also keeping an eye on Xiao Jing'an, who was wearing a mask. After all, he was a sorcerer, and from the ghostly aura emanating from Xiao Jing'an's movements, he knew that Xiao Jing'an was a vengeful ghost.
Feng Jianxiao's expression changed, and he looked at Su Jinyue with a serious expression, saying, "The person who came with you is the groom from the previous wedding, right?"
If I'm not mistaken, he must be a vengeful ghost!
Upon hearing Feng Jianxiao say that the so-called groom was a vengeful ghost, several mission participants, including Yu Shiwan, changed their expressions and showed fear.
Su Jinyue took everything in, and remained calm even when facing Feng Jianxiao, who had seen through Xiao Jing'an's true nature.
“You’re right, he is a vengeful ghost. His true identity is the eldest son of the Zhou family, who witnessed the evil deeds committed by the villagers against the Zhou family.”
Filled with resentment, he became a vengeful ghost after being murdered by the villagers, seeking revenge.
However, the village chief sought out a Taoist priest who found a way to subdue the evil spirit, and peace was restored for many years.
“But he’s a vengeful ghost. Could it be that Sister Jinyue has been deceived by him? You can’t believe what a vengeful ghost says!” Yu Shiwan blurted out.
"Besides, we've been in contact with the village chief for two or three days now, and he's been very friendly to us. He has no intention of harming us at all. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Yu Shiwan felt that things shouldn't be like this; Su Jinyue should be the one in the spotlight.
Therefore, she subconsciously began to refuse to believe Su Jinyue's words.
Su Jinyue gave Yu Shiwan a deep look, and Yu Shiwan's heart skipped a beat. She felt as if Su Jinyue's gaze could see right through her.
But when Yu Shiwan thought of Feng Jianxiao behind her, she felt confident. Su Jinyue was involved with the evil spirit, so the problem was with Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue did not expose Yu Shiwan's little scheme, and continued to patiently explain: "This is a game instance. Zhou Xinlang, as a vengeful ghost, is on the surface the object that everyone should eliminate."
But in reality, the village chief is the mastermind behind everything.
During the two days I disappeared, I was chosen to be the bride of a vengeful ghost, and the remaining nine of you are the sacrifices the village chief wants to offer to the vengeful ghost.
"My kindness and friendliness towards you the past two days were merely to lull you into a false sense of security. Today's homecoming banquet is the moment the village chief will finally strike."
After Su Jinyue explained so much, the others began to believe her, since what she said made perfect sense.
This game instance only lasts for three days. For the first two days, apart from Su Jinyue disappearing, they were not in any danger. Today is the last day, and the mastermind behind the scenes has started to make his move against them, which makes perfect sense.
However, Yu Shiwan still refused to believe this fact.
“Sister Jinyue, I think you are being too hasty. The matter has not been investigated clearly yet, isn’t it a bit too early for you to start killing us all?”
Why don't you quickly tell the vengeful ghost—uh, Zhou Xinlang—to stop? It's not too late to take action after everyone has investigated the matter thoroughly.
Besides, Brother Feng is very capable. Once the investigation is complete, with Brother Feng involved, the matter can be resolved quickly.
Su Jinyue remained noncommittal. She looked up in Xiao Jing'an's direction, where he had killed so many villagers that only the village chief remained.
Knowing he was no match for Xiao Jing'an, the village chief seized the opportunity to escape. However, he did not expect that Su Jinyue had already set up a barrier. Before he could escape, he ran into the barrier and was caught by Xiao Jing'an who had caught up with him.
Seeing that there was no way out, the village chief's feigned kindness finally disappeared, revealing a ferocious face. Black energy began to emanate from his body as he prepared to fight Xiao Jing'an to the death.
Su Jinyue was somewhat surprised to see the village chief's current appearance, but after a moment's thought, she understood.
Those who appear in game instances are unlikely to be real people, so the villagers of Huai Shu Village should have already been killed by Zhou Xinlang, who has turned into a vengeful ghost.
Then, the Infinite Horror game added Zhou Xinlang and these villagers into a game instance, which led to the current story.
After figuring it out, Su Jinyue raised an eyebrow, then gestured with her chin toward Yu Shiwan, pointing in the direction of Xiao Jing'an and the village chief, and said meaningfully.
"There's probably no need to investigate further; the village chief has already revealed his true colors."
Yu Shiwan turned around abruptly and saw that the village chief, who was emanating black smoke, had been killed by Xiao Jing'an in one move, and the village chief had vanished.
Before Yu Shiwan could say anything, the instant the village chief was killed by Xiao Jing'an, the notification sound of the Infinite Horror Game rang in the minds of all the mission participants.
The game instance "The Bride of Locust Tree Village" has been successfully cleared. Surviving players can open their game panels to view their scores and rewards for this clear.
