Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system-Chapter 541 - 530
Chapter 541: 530
Being alert, they became more attentive to the Non-Player Characters (NPCs) and their surroundings.
They quickly realized something was off with the house as they detected the hint of a decaying smell.
Faking exhaustion, they decided to rest, telling a few young people to have a look first and that they’ll explore later.
The NPC, seeing their age, believed them. Besides, it was their first time encountering such elderly individuals playing the game.
The NPC led other players upstairs for a look.
As soon as the others had headed upstairs, Old man Qin and Old lady Feng immediately started examining the ground floor, even checking the refrigerator where they found some dismembered body tissues (props).
Upon finding those, they were surprised, and they continued their search around the house.
They entered the first-floor master bedroom and found some old newspapers with pictures of the homeowner and his family of five. The news reported that they had been brutally murdered. The bodies were dismembered by the murderer and hidden away. All that was left was a house filled with blood.
[Congratulations to the player for activating "The Truth of Death: The Rage of the Fierce Ghost"]Right then, an electronic sound echoed throughout the room.
Once the sound ended, the entire room changed. It was filled with blood and objects scattered about.
"Ah ah ah ah ah" The horrifying screams of the previous group echoed from above.
Old lady Feng glanced at Old man Qin and said, "This change is a bit too extreme, feels like we’ve really encountered a ghost."
"Yeah, it’s much more advanced than the games we used to play when we were young." Old man Qin swallowed hard and nodded. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Hehehe, Grandpa and Grandma, how could you go rummaging through other people’s belongings? Are you like those bad guys, trying to steal our stuff?" A child around five or six years old was hanging from the ceiling, looking at Old man Qin and Old lady Feng. His initially cheerful demeanor gave way to a horrifying grimace as he finished his sentence.
The room’s furnishings began shaking, the red light flickered on and off, every bit of the room reeked of horror and rage.
"Run." Old man Qin yelled to Old lady Feng.
Twenty minutes later, everyone came staggering out.
"Old man, did you guys do something? This is not the same as before, it scared me to death." The youngster questioned Old man Qin and Old lady Feng.
"After entering, we noticed something was off about them, and thus used fatigue as an excuse..." Despite looking disheveled, Old man Qin appeared to be in good spirits, lending an ear to their question and explaining what they had done.
"666"
"Awesome!"
"Respect."
Everyone listened with wide eyes, giving them a thumbs up in admiration.
After playing so many rounds, they did change some dialogues and added some storylines, yet they had never thought to search for body parts to advance the story.
Who would have thought that bringing two elderly people would trigger such a thing!
"No, by virtue of living longer, we have been through quite a lot. That’s why we noticed what was amiss.
Actually, you can also search carefully. For example, whose body parts those are, why this family turned into ghosts, where the hidden bodies are located – there is likely more to this storyline." Old man Qin explained to them.
"Yes, right! Old man, you guys are indeed smarter than us. How did we not think of playing like that? Since this game has hidden stories, could others have them too? We just didn’t discover them. Next time we play, we will look carefully and pay attention to details." The youngster discussed with his friends.
"Indeed, eating a few more years of salt rice brings greater insight."
"How did I not think of that, I will try next time."
The young folks felt enlightened, showering Old man Qin and Old lady Feng with praises.
