Lu Mi said, "If you came out of there alive, you must not have done what he wanted."
"Right. I refused no matter what. Then he told me to help him hold the girl down, so at least I'd become his accomplice."
"After all, killing one more person sounds easy, but actually doing it is pretty troublesome."
As Xuanxuan recalled the scene, her voice unconsciously dropped. "He tried threats and persuasion. In the end, when he saw I wouldn't agree, he still..."
A smile remained on her face.
Youyou quietly hugged her sister's slightly trembling body. "It's over now."
Only then did Lu Mi realize that although Xuanxuan was telling the story, Youyou, who had also been shut inside the coffin, must have experienced the same thing.
He had entered Xiao Kui's coffin himself, and it had only ended after he had almost been tortured to his body's limits.
These two girls had entered a key NPC's coffin. Their experience might have been even worse; perhaps they had even gone through being killed before they were released.
Cheng Cheng had also stayed quiet for an unusually long time. Without probing their suffering, he analyzed the situation:
"Based on what Lu Mi, Jin Bi, and I have discussed, one of the main figures in the experiences inside the neighbors' coffins is almost always the owner of a stone house."
Lu Mi said, "You think the young man Xuanxuan became was Zeng Deming?"
Cheng Cheng nodded, his teasing expression returning. "Let's guess what choice the real Zeng Deming made."
A kidnapper you encountered deep in the mountains invited you to become an accomplice in raping and murdering a woman, to ensure his secret stayed buried forever.
If you refused, he would torture you brutally and kill you.
What if you agreed?
