Chapter 36 Collapse
The cook held a kitchen knife, and the doorman dragged an ax. The two of them approached her slowly.
Damn it, maybe because she stayed in the church for so long, she actually forgot about the two of them.
"Cook? Brother Janitor, who are you?" She had a trace of fantasy and tried to communicate through words.
The only thing that answered her was the sound of the ax rubbing against the ground and the sound of approaching footsteps.
They turned a deaf ear to her questions. Their goals were clear and their eyes were blazing. The kitchen knife in the cook's hand was glowing with cold light. The guard's heavy ax scratched the ground and continued to make a harsh friction sound. The moment he entered the laboratory, he turned the ax backward.
He grasped it with both hands and put the ax on his shoulder.
They were approaching Qiuli step by step. The wind lantern was still in its cooling time, and Qiuli's force level was simply not enough to fight two adults carrying weapons.
Her brain was spinning rapidly, trying to find a way out. She turned her head and quickly glanced at the dark passage behind her with the corner of her eyes...
Before she could make a decision, there was sudden movement in the originally quiet passage. Almost for a moment, a pair of red leather shoes first appeared in sight, and then the female corpse appeared at the entrance of the passage.
It was so bad now, Qiuli's face turned pale, her heart was beating wildly, and her hands holding the black knife were almost sweating.
The female corpse seemed to have the ability to think. She turned her eyes and suddenly stopped. While her skirt was swinging, she stopped three steps away from Qiu Li. Her eyes were full of teasing as she looked at Qiu Li.
She was waiting for the cook and the doorman to attack Qiu Li. She was like a pervert full of vicious taste, waiting to witness Qiu Li's panic, screams, blood, and death...
The tall guard let out an unconscious roar, swung his ax vigorously and rushed towards Qiuli. The cook waved her kitchen knife and surrounded her to the left...
All escape routes were blocked, and Qiuli suddenly had an idea in her mind!
She stared at the 100% favorable impressions displayed above the heads of the doorman and the cook, and at the critical moment she shouted: "I'm going to make unreasonable demands on you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the doorman and the cook froze on the spot. The two stopped attacking and looked at her intently, as if waiting for her next words. Qiuli was delighted, the skill "Gourmet Halo" was useful!
"I ask you to kill her!" Qiuli pointed at the female corpse and ordered them.
After saying that, Qiuli quickly moved to the corner and gave up the battlefield. The situation quickly turned into a confrontation between the doorman and the cook against the female corpse.
The green eyes of the female corpse turned from teasing to burning with anger. She took a step forward, stretched out her sharp claws and pounced on Qiuli.
There was a "clang" sound, and the guard's ax struck her head in. The female corpse had to turn around to deal with it, but the ax missed the target and knocked down the workbench.
"I'll deal with them first and then I'll deal with you." The female corpse's voice was vague, but Qiu Li heard it clearly.
"Aren't you mute? How did you get in? Logically speaking, you shouldn't exist in this copy." Qiuli had nowhere to escape anyway, so she might as well ask for clarity.
"I am Emma, David's ex-girlfriend, why shouldn't I exist?" the female corpse actually answered her.
Qiuli was stunned for a moment. The female corpse seemed to want to confirm the fact that she was Emma, but Emma's true body was in his hands, which was inside the maple leaf.
Is the female corpse afraid? If it is confirmed that she is someone else, will she be eliminated from the game? Or as Qiuli guessed before, if the plot is 100% completed, then this copy will be cleared, and in the game world, this copy should disappear.
"Let me tell you a story..." Qiuli hid on the side of a cabinet, ready to dodge at any time.
"Okay, you say." The female corpse was dealing with the doorman, and she almost ignored the cook's kitchen knife.
"David and Emma fell in love in the castle, but Emma died in an accident. In order to resurrect her, David learned witchcraft and later met Tracy." Qiuli stared at the face of the female corpse and observed that she heard these names
reaction.
"Originally, he wanted to resurrect the corpse, but he was unable to succeed. Later, he found a potion in witchcraft that could possess a soul."
"Tracy's appearance was too similar to Emma, so he married her and wanted Emma to replace Tracy after he developed the potion."
"Unfortunately, as time goes by, Tracy here is too kind. David finally gave up the plan, but it aroused the jealousy of the third party. She killed David and destroyed Tracy's body."
"Is it because Tracy looks so much like her?" Qiuli said this with a question.
The female corpse's expression relaxed: "Of course, no one wants to see a similar face, let alone a love rival."
Qiuli clapped her hands: "Well said, the third party did this because she was also named Tracy. Hundreds of years ago, the church was destroyed by fire. Together with many townspeople who helped the evildoers, her soul could not be reincarnated and wandered around the world all day long.
In the dark basement, until one day David awakens you with witchcraft. Countless restarts of the game have gradually given you power..."
"Shut up!" The female corpse suddenly sped up, dodged the doorman's attack, stretched out her sharp claws and pulled off the cook's arm. The kitchen knife fell to the ground with a clang, and the cook let out a scream and threw herself to the ground.
.
Qiuli spoke faster: "Those black shadows are the dead townspeople, and you are Tracy from a hundred years ago!"
Suddenly a thunder crashed from the sky.
"Boom"
The guard and the cook stopped, and the female corpse left them behind and rushed towards Qiuli...
Qiuli quickly dodged around the cabinet, "Your name is Tracy, or should I call you the noble Mrs. Tracy who had an affair with Father David?"
The body of the female corpse suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground. A plume of black smoke rose from the corpse and disappeared into the wall. Qiuli quickly bypassed the doorman and the cook and ran from the basement to the lobby on the first floor.
It's one minute to half past eight.
She took out the ticket given to her by the witch and put it between her eyebrows: a map appeared in her mind.
She saw one of the places called "Gourmet Town" and lit it up with her thoughts.
Almost at the same time, the bus outside the gate honked its horn and slowly drove in.
Qiuli's figure was distorted, like the visual dislocation that occurs when the speed is too fast, and she suddenly disappeared from the place...
As the bus drove in, the castle began to collapse. The driver of the bus had no time to escape and screamed for help in panic.
A figure in the sky moved very fast, and appeared in front of the castle almost instantly. The moment it appeared, the collapse stopped. The bus hung on the broken spot, teetering precariously, and the driver struggled to climb out of the window.
This figure paid no attention to the driver at his feet who was struggling to survive.
His face was blurred, and afterimages were left behind as he moved. He stretched out his hand to unfold a light curtain, and time quickly went back. Figures wandered in the light curtain. He tapped his fingers, and the pictures were frozen in the basement and the hall at the same time.
He looked at Qiuli.
