Trapped in a Ghostly Loop

"What wrong thing could we possibly do!" Li Eldest retorted confidently.

"Ha!" the third daughter sneered.

She looked at her fourth daughter without any hesitation, "Do you want to leave with me?"

It turned out that the fourth daughter was so frightened by the corpse on the ground that her eyes were glazed over and her face was pale. She stood there in a daze, looking like she was about to faint.

The third daughter quickly pulled her over, hugged her and comforted her for a while, and then took her away from the mourning hall.

Before leaving, she said to her eldest and second eldest sisters, "You two should go too. You shouldn't have forgotten how Dad treated you in the past. Come stay with me for now. I recently rented a small room with my salary. It's small, but it's enough for us all."

The eldest and second daughters remained silent. Finally, they shook their heads, indicating that they still had children to take care of and that their children couldn't live without them.

The third daughter had no choice but to leave the Small Town with her fourth daughter.

The events that unfolded at the funeral hall alerted her to something amiss, and she decisively fled the Small Town with her innocent fourth sister.

It's likely that she will never set foot in this Small Town again.

The disputes among the NPCs did not affect the reincarnators.

They gathered together, their expressions somewhat grim.

Because Li Eldest was afraid that he would be the next to die, he decided to break the tradition that the deceased must remain in the mourning hall for three days and find a place to bury him immediately during the day.

He even made arrangements for his two deceased younger brothers.

And those in charge of the funeral arrangements were naturally these reincarnated beings.

"I asked him whether he was scared or not. Wouldn't a normal person have run away in this situation?"

"For example, the people in town all made excuses and didn't come."

"He was scared too, but he couldn't just leave his father's and brother's bodies there, could he?"

"I had a feeling things wouldn't go so smoothly."

"Yes, I don't want to go. There's someone who's already dead."

Nine new recruits, one died, leaving eight new recruits.

Only three newcomers dared to continue following the veterans; the others had given up on participating in the mission.

After all, as long as they don't participate in missions, they won't get into trouble.

Moreover, with so many experienced players present, even if they don't participate in the mission, as long as they survive for seven days, they can still pass this Dungeon and earn points for clearing it.

If that's the case, why would they risk their lives to participate in the mission?

Shouldn't we have the right to give up?

"Yeah, and even if we don't do missions with you, you'll still get more points, right?"

The new recruits made up many excuses, all of which were that they didn't want to participate in the mission.

Watching them confront the veteran, who seemed completely helpless against them, Li Yue thought they were truly foolish.

How dare they offend the veterans?

Do they think that danger only occurs when doing quests in Dungeon?

Now that they've offended a veteran, how could they possibly protect them when they encounter monsters later?

Do you really think you can safely clear the Dungeon without participating in the mission? Li Yue wanted to ask them that.

But seeing the composed faces of the four veterans, he still didn't say anything.

Li Yue looked at the newcomers with a sympathetic gaze, hoping they would be alright.

The funeral process went very poorly.

It was as if something was preventing the funeral from proceeding smoothly.

The four veterans dodged a suddenly falling tree, a flowerpot falling from a height, and a rock.

A candle and incense stick broken in the middle.

And then there's Old Man Li, who suddenly came back to life and bit people.

Xiao Lai reacted quickly and chopped off Old Man Li's arm with a single stroke.

A newcomer was so frightened that he quickly backed away; Old Man Li's finger almost poked into his eye.

After Old Man Li's arm was cut off, it seemed to feel no pain and continued to attack the others.

Xiao Lai had no choice but to cut off its two arms and two legs.

Even so, it still moves its body and opens its mouth to bite others.

I wonder if its loose teeth can still bite.

But no one present wanted to be bitten by it.

Whether or not it can bite, who knows if being bitten by this monster would lead to infection and mutation.

Without the antidote and without being able to return to the Infinite Train in time, they might turn into these monsters and remain in the Dungeon forever.

Xiao Lai expressionlessly used a knife to cut off its jaw, completely eliminating its intention to bite.

Perhaps frightened by his cruel methods, their subsequent rituals went much more smoothly.

Tang Ping watched as the newcomers dug a hole with shovels.

What did you think of this Dungeon?

"The difficulty level is a bit too low."

"This is only the first night. In the Dungeon, the first day's difficulty is always the lowest."

"There are still seven days left. If the difficulty increases at this rate, by the last night, I'm afraid even if we use all our strength, we don't know if we can make it through."

The other two veterans watched quietly as the newcomers dug the soil.

One of them said, "In normal Dungeon, no matter what happens, the plot won't change, and the NPCs should stubbornly stick to the rules. Something's not right with this Dungeon."

"What you said makes sense. I've been through several Dungeon, and it's pretty much the same for all of them. Although those NPCs have the same intelligence as normal people, when faced with the plot, the decisions they make seem like they've lost their minds."

"Yes, that's why many reincarnators call them NPCs."

"Because they're practically like NPCs with pre-programmed routines, triggered at specific times."

Just as the newlyweds had dug a large pit, placed the coffin inside, and were preparing to fill the pit with soil,

They discovered that no matter how much soil they added, they couldn't cover the coffin.

The soil that was shoveled away didn't add any more soil.

In the end, even the experienced ones joined in to help, working for several hours, but they still couldn't fill the hole.

This situation is very rare, and it's almost certain that they encountered a ghost wall.

When Xiao Lai and Tang Ping stopped, they realized that they had unknowingly lost more than half of their strength.

They are people whose attributes have been enhanced.

Their physical fitness is several times higher than that of the average person.

So the newcomers were exhausted, leaving only the four veterans to continue filling the soil.

They were so engrossed and absorbed in what was merely ordinary physical labor that they were completely unaware of their own physical exhaustion.

Xiao Lai and the others broke out in a cold sweat after realizing what had happened.

If they don't realize it, will they continue working so intently until all their energy is completely exhausted?
