Haunted House Survival System

Chapter 52

Coming out of the back door of Lu's house is a row of markets, but it's midnight, and there is no door for all the shops here, so it's just a background.

Not far away, Jin Jiu saw a small grocery store connected to a small tea shop, with a dilapidated plaque "Sijun Shop" hanging across it.

Grocery stores and tea shops are closed, and other shops have some window curtains, but this Sijun shop has only blue bricks and white tiles, obviously abandoned for a long time.

Jin Jiu saw that there was still a lock on the door.But he has no such key!
Miao Luoluo swayed by the wall a few times, and said in surprise: "Sir, why did our sisters have been able to pass through walls before, but now we can't?"

Jin Jiu glanced at them and said matter-of-factly: "Because you are no longer villains."

"..."

Ding - Ding Ding Ding.

There was a rhythmic knocking sound from around the corner.

Ding - Ding Ding Ding.

A hunchbacked bald man in ragged clothes came tremblingly from the corner, knocking something in his hand.

This is... the watchman?
Is it alive?
How come there are still living NPCs in this crappy game? It’s unlikely.

Jin Jiu turned to look at him, only to see that he was holding an empty broken porcelain bowl and a pair of old chopsticks in his hand, and was knocking non-stop.

The hunchbacked bald man was so thin that only his skeleton was left, only his belly was bulging, and a pile of bluish-black things flowed out of it, dripping down as he walked.

It turned out to be a hungry ghost ghost.

When the hunchbacked and bald man saw someone on the road, his eyes flashed with greed, and he ran over with his hands and feet, and the dishes and chopsticks were dragged on the ground making a clanking sound.

Miao Luoluo took a step forward, but was stopped by Jin Jiu: "Let me do it."

Jin Jiu's speed was so fast, the hungry ghost opened its big mouth drooling, and Jin Jiu shot a white light into it.

appease.

"Uh huh..." The hungry ghost swallowed the white light, and suddenly began to make some sounds, which finally turned into a few understandable words, and kept repeating: "Master Lu, you still owe me... four years of wages. 16 Two denarii and three coins..."

Um, wages?

I have no money to compensate you.Even if there is, how about RMB?

Suddenly, Jin Jiu remembered the silver ingot he got in the front hall of Lu's house.

It turned out that the function of that piece of silver ingot was actually used to pay wages.

Jin Jiu hurriedly took out the silver ingot he found in the treasure box, and handed it to the hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost took it tremblingly, held the silver ingot, and even shed tears: "Master Lu...after you and your wife have gone...I, Chen Zhou, have been helping you look after the shop...but only waited for your corpse ...If the heavens have eyes, I hope someone... can bury you well..."

After the hungry ghost finished speaking, he trembled and disappeared in the white light.

[Appease Sijun shopkeeper Chen Zhou, evil spirit value +100×2, current evil spirit value 1850]

[Trigger task: bury parents.Do you want to receive it? 】

The light flashed, and a brown key fell down.

Jin Jiu smiled slightly, this is what he wanted.

When he saw the hungry ghost, he thought that there were no other props here, so the appearance of this hungry ghost must be the key.

That's why he prevented Miao Luoluo from going forward to attack, and tried to appease him, to see if there were other tasks triggered.

Brown keys are guaranteed to drop.

But now, the two mission requirements are to bury the bones of Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu. If you complete them, you can get two rewards. Isn’t it wonderful?
So far, I don't know what the evil spirit value is for, but since he has signed the contract of selling himself, Jin Jiu still thinks that he can earn a little bit, which may be of great use in the future.

He picked up the key and opened the door of Sijunpu.

This small shop is really bleak and desolate, there are no tables and chairs, there is nothing left at all, it can almost be said to be barren.

In the middle of the shop, there are two skeletons rolled up in a mat, which have long been rotten.

These two skeletons are Jin Jiu's biological parents, and they belong to Mr. and Mrs. Lu.

A yellow talisman was pasted on the mat covering the skeleton.

Jin Jiu reached out to touch the mat, but was bounced away.

It's that weird rune again.

Jin Jiu took out a gray talisman, pasted it on, and burned the yellow talisman.

[Release the second seal: strength, evil spirit value +200×2, current evil spirit value is 2250. 】

A steady stream of power surged from the soles of his feet, Jin Jiu's hands glistened, holding the copper hook felt as light as nothing.

However, at this time, he didn't have much thought to feel this power.

Looking at the two thin skeletons in the mat, a sense of inexplicable sadness arose spontaneously. Jin Jiu gently held the two skeletons in his arms, and solemnly and slowly walked out of the Sijun shop.

There is an open space in the Lu family's backyard where various flowers and plants are planted, but they are all withered now.

Jin Jiu took out the copper hook, cleared the withered plants little by little, dug the pit, put the corpse in, buried it, made a monument, erected a monument...

Since his strength has increased a lot, these tasks are not strenuous at all.

After burying the two skeletons, he knelt down to the tombs of Master Lu and his wife three times, remaining silent the whole time without saying a word.

[Complete the task of burying parents, evil spirit +100×2, current evil spirit value is 2450]

[Complete the task of the remains of the parents, the evil spirit value +200, the current evil spirit value is 2650]

Jin Jiu, I've already done all your shit... oh no, my long-cherished wish has come to an end, so...

"This damn thing should be resurrected!!!"

Jin Jiu looked up to the sky and screamed.

The Miao sisters looked at each other, they thought Jin Jiu was still in grief.Although I don't know what he is shouting, why is he so aggrieved?

Jin Jiu's shout hadn't disappeared yet, suddenly there was a bang in Lu's house, and flames burst into the sky, reflecting the open space red.A dark figure rose from the flames, accompanied by a strange laugh.

Lu Xi old way!

Without any hesitation, Jin Jiu chased after her step by step like a fleeting shadow.But Naluxi old man just flashed his figure, and a dark shadow appeared from behind him.

Kindaichi?King Kong?
There is also Jin Jiu’s Wraith Army.

In an instant, darkness cut off the flames and shrouded Jin Jiu.

This is his wraith!No wonder it couldn't be summoned before, but it turned out to be controlled by the old Taoist Lu Xi.

Jin Tianyi and King Kong led his army of wraiths and rushed towards Jin Jiu in unison, like a huge wave rising from the sky.

In front of this huge wave, Jin Jiu's weak body seemed vulnerable.

Suddenly his eyes froze.

King of the world.

Jin Jiu's body erupted with dazzling golden light, like a starry curtain shedding light, and the surging evil energy wrapped around every resentful spirit like countless vines.

These resentful spirits who were about to charge forward stopped for a moment, with confusion in their eyes.

Old Taoist Lu Xi was shocked when he saw this. He turned around and tried to run away again, but saw a strand of hair wrapped around his body and dragged him back. Miao Luoluo's two severed hands had already pinched his arms.

Although the old Luxi Taoist didn't have any means of attack, his escape skills were pretty good.

Miao Tongtong's hair had just been dragged halfway, but there was a slight smile on his face, and a thick black mist emerged from his body, covering his whole body in it.

The black mist retracted into a point, and Lu Xi's old Taoist disappeared instantly, and Miao Tongtong's hair was only torn to a burning yellow talisman.

The golden light from Jin Jiu's body continued to pour into each of the wraiths until their eye sockets regained consciousness.

Jin Tianyi and King Kong were the first to wake up, and then they came to Jin Jiu and knelt down: "My lord, forgive me."

Those resentful spirits also gradually recovered, knelt down together and said: "My lord, forgive me."

Jin Jiu watched the yellow talisman burn out, sighed and said, "I don't blame you... I just let him run away again."
