I Want to Personally... Kill Every One of Them
Xiao Lai and the other three veterans truly lived up to their reputation as people who had experienced several Dungeon.
He quickly understood what he meant.
If they followed the normal procedure, they would have to bury the family, and depending on the strength of the monster's resentment, they would ultimately have to endure the monster's revenge to complete the task.
We probably need to find a way to weaken that monster, otherwise, if they set up a maze like this, they'll be digging for ages and still won't be able to move it.
Can you even play it if you don't nerf it?
However, after encountering a special NPC.
This process will then be reversed.
Just follow the instructions provided by the special NPC.
Perhaps we can subdue this monster, or resolve its resentment.
"Then may I ask, sir, what should we do?"
Shen Yu glanced at the coffin. "Bring the coffin up."
The Li Family had only prepared one coffin for the deceased old man, Old Master Li. Although cremation was being promoted in this era, people in rural Small Town like this still mostly chose burial.
Old Master Li had never liked cremation during his lifetime.
Several experienced workers and newcomers jumped into the pit and worked together to lift the coffin out.
Shen Yu pushed the coffin open.
Two people were lying inside the coffin.
One was Old Master Li, whose face was so hideous it resembled neither a ghost nor a human.
The other was a newcomer who died with his neck bitten off and half of his arm eaten away.
The newcomers couldn't bear to watch.
As soon as Old Master Li saw the light of day, he began to howl incessantly, constantly shielding his eyes with his arms.
But it couldn't stop the scorching sun.
It could only keep clinging to another corpse, trying to crawl under it so that the corpse could block out the sunlight.
"He... he's still alive?"
The newcomers were quite frightened and quickly backed away.
Shen Yu took out a talisman and whispered a few incantations. The talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, and finally, a gust of wind was summoned out of thin air.
The gust of wind swirled around Old Master Li, dragging him directly out of the coffin, leaving him without any cover.
Under the scorching sun, it howled and screamed in agony as its body was charred. It soon turned into a dried-up corpse, its soul probably scattered and unable to be reincarnated.
Originally, even if Old Master Li had done evil deeds in his life, he would not have become a wandering ghost if his filial sons and grandsons had taken care of his funeral.
However, it was transformed by eerie resentment, turning into a demon and killing a person, thus incurring a blood debt.
Such an evil spirit appearing in the sunlight will naturally not end well.
Several veterans stared wide-eyed as Shen Yu cast his spell.
If Shen Yu hadn't appeared, Old Master Li, who had become a demon, would probably have been a minor boss they would have needed to defeat.
Unexpectedly, this time they won without even trying.
"These are your people?"
Shen Yu pointed to the deceased bride inside the coffin.
"Yes." Xiao Lai nodded, looking at the dead newcomer. The first night's mission was the simplest and least dangerous, but unfortunately, this person was too unlucky.
Shen Yu used another talisman to set the corpse ablaze, burning him and the coffin to ashes.
"Go and find the place where that monster met its end. Once you find it, come back to town and find me."
After finishing his Shen Yu took the compass and left.
After all, he can't possibly handle everything single-handedly.
Xiao Lai and the others had no doubts; special NPCs were people who could help at crucial moments.
However, he cannot follow the reincarnators forever.
With a general idea of the area, things became much easier for them.
The hill behind this Small Town isn't very big.
Plus, that road is probably frequently trampled on.
A barely noticeable path has appeared on the mountain that was originally overgrown with weeds.
Follow this path.
They then arrived at that mountain stream.
The cave entrance was too small; they searched the area several times but couldn't find it.
It was a newcomer who almost stepped into the cave before discovering this hidden entrance.
"There's a cave here, but it's too narrow to get in."
Everyone gathered around.
They gestured a few times.
If you jump straight down with your legs together, even a slender person could get in.
But who knows what's inside, how deep it is? What if you get stuck and can't get out? That would be the end of you.
"We've searched everywhere here, this should be the place."
"This hole..."
Xiao Lai threw a stone down, and it took a while to hear the echo of the stone hitting the ground.
"It's very deep inside. This must be where the town disposes of the bodies of trafficked baby girls."
Several veteran players had witnessed all sorts of ugliness in the Dungeon.
The stones they threw awakened the monster inside.
It burst out from inside.
The trees in the mountains blocked the sunlight, and since she was much stronger than Old Master Li had just been transformed into a demon, the daytime effect on her was not very serious. As long as she was not exposed to direct sunlight, she could move freely during the day.
Upon seeing that it was a group of funeral directors who had come to the door, the monster, fearing they were up to no good, became enraged.
Caught off guard, the seasoned fighters could only defend themselves using their skills.
"Madam, whose name we don't know, we've come to discuss something with you."
"We know you hate the Li Family. We were hired by him to handle the funeral arrangements because we were unaware of the feud between you."
"Now that we know what happened, we've given up the job with the Li Family."
Several experienced individuals quickly offered explanations.
The monster attacked them in a frenzy, initially refusing to listen to anything. Later, however, its attacks were difficult for the veterans to block with either props or skills.
It finally showed a willingness to listen to them.
After hearing this, the monster stopped attacking.
Xiao Lai: Effective!
Seizing the opportunity, Tang Ping continued, "We are a group of funeral masters. We have no grudge against you, nor do we want to make enemies with you. So, what is your wish? Perhaps we can help you fulfill it."
Monster: "I... don't need... your help, I want to kill them all myself!"
The monster stood under the shade of a tree, head bowed, its hair disheveled, obscuring its face.
However, its sound was like sandpaper, hoarse and sharp, sounding exceptionally mournful.
"We are funeral directors. Perhaps we can help you bury those innocent and pitiful people who died, so that their souls can rest in peace and not continue to be wandering ghosts, unable to be reincarnated."
Tang Ping tried to persuade it from another angle.
Sure enough, when it came to other dead people, the monster hesitated, wondering if this group only had this much ability.
Then it will have no scruples. It can sense that this group of people are having a very hard time resisting its attacks. As long as it continues to attack, it will be able to kill them.
The experience of being murdered made it impossible for it to trust anyone.
However, it could sense that the evil spirit it controlled was dead.
