Be a Social Cow In An Infinite Game: Chapter 16 Entering the New World for the First Time 16

On the last day, after breakfast, the players who had been blacklisted by the Ghost King gathered together to discuss.

At this point, the ghost king's blacklist is no longer important, as long as you can leave alive, let's be brave together!

This discussion focuses on Jing Ruyu.

She was the only one who went out and found the ferry last night, and they could only use her to understand how much risk there was in the night.

Jing Ruyu was straightforward: "Store something that can be used to start a fire, at least one person must have it, and it can be used to light a fire to save lives if necessary."

As she spoke, she held the fire pocket in her pocket: "I burned a ghost with it yesterday."

Looking at Xia Zhiyi, she explained one more sentence: "It's a ghost, not a skeleton."

Xia Zhiyi blinked in surprise: "Oh? So they are also afraid of fire?"

Jing Ruyu nodded slightly.

Last night, when she fought with spider-like ghosts, she had to lighten her strength so as not to wake up the surrounding ghosts, but also always guard against attacks, pay attention to the timing of attacks, and the difficulty increased a lot in an instant.

However, she wanted to keep a low profile, but the other party didn't.

The ghosts not only relied on their ability to regenerate and were not afraid of being hacked by knives and axes, but also smashed here and there, as if they wanted to turn the whole day upside down and disturb the Gu family's peace.

She prevented it from attacking it several times, but it made an inch of progress. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, and in one attack, she pulled out the nearby weeds and lit them, and threw them directly at it.

As a result, when it saw the fire, it immediately changed its expression, and its offensive turned sharply, trying to hide in panic.

With a great opportunity, she took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the flames suddenly ignited, engulfing the monster in an instant, thus resolving the crisis by mistake.

Xia Zhi nodded knowingly, and gave Xiaoya and the others the few fireflakes that she had asked for from her face.

Xia Zhiyi gave them such an important thing so generously, and the three of them felt extremely moved immediately, and then saw Xia Zhiyi turned to Jing Ruyu and said, "We'll go get some more later, the more the better. Steal a few if you don’t arrive, you’re better, I’ll give you a lookout.”

Three people: "..."

You are truly an outlaw.

Jing Ruyu wanted to laugh inexplicably, nodded and said, "Well, we'll look for her later."

This she refers to the little maid NPC who is kind to them.

"Okay!" Xia Zhiyi should be brisk, "By the way, is the ferry really in the backyard? Is it really full of skeletons under the backyard? Then how did you avoid them and open the door yesterday?"

She had too many questions, and she poured them out all at once, looking anxious.

The eyes of the other three people also turned to Jing Ruyu.

After Jing Ruyu finished listening, she said calmly: "I didn't open the door, and the skeleton underneath didn't see me either."

Xia Zhiyi: "?"

"You can see it even on the wall," Jing Ruyu took a sip of water calmly, "The dungeon didn't force us to open the door."

Xia Zhiyi closed her stunned opened mouth, thought for a while, and greeted the new world again in her heart.

It is not necessary to open the door when confirming the location of the ferry, but they still have to open the door if they want to go to the ferry. Not everyone here has Jing Ruyu's skills.

New world, what a vicious thing!

"But the skeleton's range of action is only the backyard, and they seem to have no way to leave there."

Jing Ruyu turned to look at Xia Zhiyi.

"Yesterday, I saw some skeletons walking to the gate of the courtyard. They wanted to go out but couldn't. Then they suddenly looked up at the place where Miss Gu lived. When they turned back to the courtyard, they seemed reluctant and unwilling."

Reluctantly, unwillingly...

Xia Zhiyi felt that she had heard the words "unreconciled" these days, as if there was resentment everywhere in the mansion, which made people feel very uncomfortable, but she couldn't help but care about it.

"I don't have a clue," Xia Zhiyi frowned, then stretched it out again, and said, "Shall we go out for a walk?"

Jing Ruyu nodded: "Let's find someone first."

Seeing that the two of them had their own actions, Zhou Yan also turned to Xiaoya and Liuliu and said, "Then let's go out for a walk."

She picked up the fire booklet: "Let's find something to put in it, see if we can make the fire burn bigger, and identify the way to the backyard by the way."

Liuliu and Xiaoya nodded. In order to survive, everyone was united and full of energy.

…

The wedding date was postponed, and the servants in the mansion had another day of hard work.

Like tireless tools, they still stick to their posts, serving the Gu family silently and numbly.

The little maid Jing Ruyu rescued is also in charge of the garden work today.

When the two found her, she was squatting on the ground playing with flowers and plants, the sun was shining on her body, it was as peaceful and beautiful as if there had never been ghosts and monsters here.

Xia Zhiyi lamented how miserable it is to be an NPC, knowing that there are ghosts here but still working honestly, calling her and saying hello to her.

Turning her head around, the little maid saw that it was a familiar face, she couldn't help but smile: "Benefactor, you are here again."

Still so innocent and kind.

"What's the matter this time?"

Jing Ruyu spoke first, "I would like to ask for two more Huozhezi."

Xia Zhiyi continued her words: "And a few torches."

The little maid tilted her head, puzzled and said, "What do you want these for?"

"Use a torch to help you drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants, and burn the weeds along the way to reduce your burden." Xia Zhiyi said very kindly.

The little maid remembered that Xiaoqiao said that the weeds in the mansion had not been cleared, so if she wanted to postpone the wedding, she didn't suspect him, and told them to wait a while and then ran out to help collect the tools.

She is from the mansion, collecting tools is easier than Xia Zhiyi and the two, and she will be back soon.

Of course, she still didn't forget to include a bucket.

"Be careful when using fire, don't burn it to other places, otherwise the master and lady will be angry."

Xia Zhiyi took the bucket and thought: It's okay, your lady was already full last night.

Jing Ruyu looked sideways at the shaded area of ​​the garden.

It was quiet there, as quiet as when they first came in, and there was nothing but a few extra trees they had planted.

But she also knew that the ghost who coaxed home must still be there.

Withdrawing her gaze, she looked at the little maid and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

The little maid was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what she was referring to, she smiled and said, "I'm afraid, but I still have to do my job."

Seeing her smile, the two of them suddenly didn't know how to respond.

They didn't know whether to say that she was also an emotionless numb tool, or that her fate was miserable. It seemed that the servants of the Gu family could never leave this cage from birth to death.

"Have you ever thought of running away?" Jing Ruyu suddenly asked.

She wanted to see what she had in mind, and also wanted to see if a new plot could be triggered.

The little maid froze for a moment.

It was the first time she had heard that question asked.

But why run away?

Serving the Gu family and serving the young lady, this is their destiny—they have never questioned this destiny.

"Why did you run away?" She asked Jing Ruyu back.

Jing Ruyu said bluntly: "I don't want to lie to you, you will never belong to yourself here, and you will never be free.

"You have to work for her when you are alive, and become a ghost when you die, and help her kill people under her hands, even if you are only bones, you have to guard the door for her.

"You—no, each of you will be used by the Gu family and this lady from life to death."

She opened up a fact, a reality that the little maid had never heard of.

The little maid was stunned: "You mean..."

She pointed at the shade of the tree hesitantly: "Those people used to be servants of this mansion just like me?"

Xia Zhiyi nodded.

The little maid suddenly felt the shock, and was stunned for a long time without saying a word.

It turns out that after their death, their faces and hearts will become so distorted that people can't recognize them at all, and they only think about harming others every day?

Even if it turns into a pile of bones, you still want to continue to be the watchdog of the young lady?

Is this how their life is...

But why? Why do they have to suffer this?

All of this sounds like—

"I'm so unhappy."

Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu suddenly heard her say such a sentence.

A very familiar sentence.

The two looked at her, but saw that her pupils suddenly turned white, and it took three seconds for her to return to normal, and she smiled again: "What did we just say?"

"..."

The two looked at each other, and a question came to their minds: Is this memory being emptied?

Xia Zhiyi suddenly thought of something, took Jing Ruyu's hand and walked aside and whispered: "She doesn't remember what you said, is it possible that they have some ghost king's curse on them, which will automatically clear relevant memories and suppress emotions, Can only be a tool man in peace?

"The 'unreconciled' that those ghosts chanted are referring to this?"

He has to be used by others from birth to death, until he is wiped out, no one will be willing to do this.

The King of Ghosts needs someone to work for her. To save her worry, of course she needs someone who is quiet and will not cause trouble. So once someone knows the fate after death, the memory will be cleared if there is a fluctuation in mood.

And the ghosts are dead, they have become the same kind as the ghost king, so naturally they don't need to clear their memories anymore.

These were Xia Zhiyi's guesses, and she couldn't tell if they were right.

Jing Ruyu was silent for a moment when she heard the words, then turned her head to look at the shade of the tree.

"The answer is just to ask directly."

Xia Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the shade of the tree.

The sky is bright and the wind is clear, and the branches and leaves are shaking.

Ghosts hide beneath the ground, waiting for their prey to fall into their trap.

It waited for a long, long time, and finally heard the slight sound of footsteps coming from above.

After a while, it quickly approached.

Here comes the new prey.

Once it has learned its shame, the time has finally come for it to become a ghost again!

"Whoa—go to hell—"

"Shua!"

A shovel plunged straight into the ground in front of it, and the familiar feeling of oppression returned.

It had a stiff expression, choked on its saliva, and slowly raised its head to look up.

Under the layers of forest leaves, there are two beautiful women watching it condescendingly.

They stood beside it, one on the left and one on the right, holding torches that were deadly to it.

Among them, the more delicate one smiled at it: "Hi, we meet again."

"..."

I don't really want to meet you.

Jing Ruyu shook her finger at it: "Come out, we have something to ask you, if you dare to run away, I will burn all the trees here, so that you can only stay in the soil for the rest of your life."

"???"

Isn't this really some bandit from the top of the mountain who went down the mountain? !

It had no choice but to crawl out of the mound obediently and stand in front of the two of them respectfully.

It's really embarrassing to be a ghost to this point...

"Then what, can the torch stay away from me?" It asked awkwardly.

Xia Zhiyi moved away a little bit very kindly, and at the same time cut to the chase: "Do you know where you will go next if you are sunburned to the bone?"

"I know, the backyard."

After speaking, it took two steps back vigilantly.

"What do you want to do, I didn't mess with you!"

After waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened to the ghost.

Jing Ruyu smiled: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

It's okay if she doesn't laugh, but when she laughs, the ghost gets hairy all over her body.

The king of ghosts is scary, and people who are not human are also scary!

What sin did it do to meet such a person!

Xia Zhiyi asked again: "Are you not reconciled? Are you not reconciled and can only obey the ghost king and stay here?"

The ghost was dumb for a moment: "..."

To be honest, it is really not reconciled to this.

Why should he be trapped in this place after becoming a ghost, and not allowed to go anywhere? You can only act like a dog, Baba listens to the ghost king's words...

But what does it matter to them? If they are so sympathetic, then obediently let them kill and discourage them!

"None of your business."

Xia Zhiyi raised her eyebrows.

Huh, quite a temper.

"Don't be upset, let me ask another question, do you know what you ghost kings are afraid of?"

The ghost froze for a moment when he heard the words, and subconsciously glanced at the burning torch. After realizing something was wrong, he hurriedly looked away.

"I don't know! Don't ask me!"

Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu exchanged glances.

It can be seen that this is really a ghost that can't hide things and can't act.

They came up with a new idea tacitly.

Xia Zhiyi turned her head and looked at the frightened ghost with a smile.

"The last question, do you want to follow us to do something big?"

Ghost: "..."

These two are the thugs who came down from which mountain! !

The author has something to say:

Today I assembled the newly arrived mosquito net, and it hurts my hands.

Oh, I see, I can't code, zei is considered a work-related injury OvO!
