Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1717 In the Deadly Game 4

The night was still restless. Apart from Xiong Qi, Ruan Baijie and Ling Jiushi, the only man left was a man with glasses. The women on the other hand had not been killed. Xiao Ke, Jiang Xinxin and Wang Xiaoyi were still alive.

But in the middle of the night, Jiang Xinxin heard Wang Xiaoyi crying and banging on her door for help, saying that Xiao Yanjing had gone crazy and insisted that she was a monster and wanted to kill her.

Jiang Xinxin opened the door and let Wang Xiaoyi in to hide. There was no movement from the neighbors on either side. Little Glasses was still unwilling to give in and insisted on killing Wang Xiaoyi with a crazy look on his face. Jiang Xinxin stopped him with a word and he left angrily with a feeling of unwillingness.

Wang Xiaoyi was so scared that she started crying. "Ms. Jiang, I'm really not a monster. I don't know what I did to offend him!"

Jiang Xinxin put her arm around Wang Xiaoyi's shoulders and let her cry. When she calmed down a little, she said, "I can see that he has mental problems. I can't watch him 24 hours a day. He might..."

"I know you're panicking and don't know what to do, but if we make it through this level, who knows how many more levels await us. You've also seen that most of the people we're with, whether they're the living or the so-called NPCs, don't have good intentions."

Wang Xiaoyi was a person who could listen to what was said, and even though tears were about to fall, she quickly held them back.

Just looking at the reliable Jiang Xinxin, she couldn't help but hold Jiang Xinxin's hand tightly, choking and saying, "Miss Jiang, I will definitely make progress, but is there any way for me to follow you?"

Jiang Xinxin was powerless to do anything about this. She was completely in the dark and knew nothing. Even though she felt sorry for Wang Xiaoyi, she couldn't do anything.

Ruan Baijie and Ling Jiushi heard everything that happened here clearly. Although Ling Jiushi felt sorry for opening the door for Wang Xiaoyi just now, he had no intention of being generous to others. He was the only one who felt uncomfortable.

Ruan Baijie advised him, "There are many hurdles to overcome, and you won't always be able to meet teammates you can trust. Ling Jiushi, you have to get used to it."

The second half of the night went peacefully, but the next morning when everyone went downstairs to eat, Little Glasses was still chasing Wang Xiaoyi, looking like a crazy person who wanted Wang Xiaoyi to die.

Fortunately, no one wanted to see their companions killed by each other, so they all took action to protect Wang Xiaoyi.

But when they were on the mountain, the little boy with glasses was bewitched by a stone and insisted that Wang Xiaoyi was dead. He said that the girl who followed them was a monster. He picked up an axe and was about to chop people. It was not until Jiang Xinxin knocked him unconscious that the matter was settled.

The number of people working today was greatly reduced. Everyone only cut down one tree and went back, but they were still exhausted. Unexpectedly, the little boy with glasses who had just woken up actually took an axe and forced Wang Xiaoyi to the edge of the well while no one was paying attention!

Jiang Xinxin was quick to grab the rope and throw it towards Wang Xiaoyi, but unfortunately she was still a step too late. She and Xiao Yanjing looked into the well together, triggering the taboo condition and were dragged down by the monster's long hair.

Soon, a clear chewing sound came from the well, which made people feel cold in their bones.

Jiang Xinxin stood by the well with a sullen face. She turned around, took a torch and threw it directly in. After a while, a sharp but not loud whistle was heard, which showed that the fire was the monster's weak spot.

"This monster is afraid of fire." Jiang Xinxin turned around and said to everyone.

Everyone saw Jiang Xinxin's actions. Xiong Qi admired Jiang Xinxin very much and gave her a thumbs up: "Miss Jiang is amazing. I, Old Xiong, admire you!"

Xiong Qi was about to continue recruiting Jiang Xinxin as a companion when he was interrupted by Ruan Baijie, who had noticed the clues first. "Okay, now I know the door is in the well. We can get closer after killing the monster. We just need to find the key and we can get out."

Xiong Qi immediately muttered that there was no clue about the key. Ruan Baijie seemed to be quite confident and asked Ling Jiushi to go upstairs and have a rest.

When Jiang Xinxin went upstairs to rest in her room, she suddenly heard someone sobbing. She was startled by the sudden sound at first, and followed the sound to the terrace. She saw the proprietress who had disappeared for a long time standing there sobbing and looking into the distance.

Jiang Xinxin had long known that the proprietress had ill intentions, but she had no intention of exposing them immediately. She walked over with slightly heavier steps and asked in a low, concerned voice, "Why are you here alone, proprietress? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

The proprietress hurriedly suppressed her sorrowful expression and wiped away her tears when she heard Jiang Xinxin's footsteps. She looked at Jiang Xinxin with a look of almost nostalgia in her eyes and forced a smile, saying, "I had a daughter who was younger than Miss Jiang is now. She was very cute back then, but unfortunately, an accident happened..."

When the proprietress looked at Jiang Xinxin, there was still some reminiscence in her eyes, but her feet had already begun to move away quietly. When she was about to walk out of the terrace, Ruan Baijie came up from the stairs below, and Ling Jiushi also came from the second floor, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the proprietress's retreat.

The proprietress knew that today's plan would fail, so she just gave the place to the young man and went back to her room.

The three of them stood on the terrace and looked down into the deep well that had swallowed up their two companions.

Ling Jiushi felt a cold sweat break out on his back, "Why would the boss lady tempt people to break taboos?"

After saying that, he felt that he was too naive. Even though the proprietress and other villagers looked like real people, just because of this, in this world, they were more intelligent than any NPC in the game, because they were living people!

Jiang Xinxin, however, gained a lot of information: "The monster in the well has long hair and a long skirt, and it's obvious to the naked eye that it's a woman."

"Just now, the boss lady couldn't help but talk about her daughter who died in an accident. Considering the fact that she personally tempted people to break taboos three times, I believe the monster in the well is her daughter."

Ruan Baijie praised with admiration: "Miss Jiang, I'm almost tired of praising your intelligence."

"It seems that you also think that the man who died on the terrace was the boss lady's doing."

Ling Jiushi looked at Jiang Xinxin, then at Ruan Baijie, and couldn't help but laugh: "Ruan Baijie, you seem to know quite a bit. Why don't you tell me something that Miss Jiang doesn't know?"

Ruan Baijie glared at Ling Jiushi with a hint of annoyance, but did not refuse: "I suspect the key is in the coffin that is about to be completed."

After receiving such important information, Jiang Xinxin smiled and clapped her hands: "Okay, now that we have found the key and the door, let's get a good rest tonight. We will be busy starting tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, everyone went to the carpenter's house. Ruan Baijie threatened the carpenter with an axe, and the carpenter really told him that the key to the door was in the coffin.

Everyone opened the coffin together, and an exquisite brass key really emerged from inside.

Ruan Baijie gestured to Ling Jiushi to get it, but Xiong Qi disagreed. "Whoever gets the key and opens the door first will not only be the first to leave, but will also get detailed clues about the next door."

"Ruan Baijie, you didn't just give away the key, you gave away half of the door."

"Besides, I think Miss Jiang should be the one to take the key."

Jiang Xinxin waved her hand. "Although it sounds like the clue to the next door is very important, it's all the same to me. Ling Jiushi, you take the key and keep it carefully."
