Haunted House Survival System

Chapter 95 Temporary Mission
Jin Jiu was taken aback, he hasn't spoken yet, can he still receive the task just standing here and listening to gossip?
Turning their heads to see that Xiao Yanling was also looking at him, the two smiled wryly, and one took a token of the city defenders.

"After dyeing, send it directly to my house." Seeing that the two had received the tokens and that the NPC had fulfilled the duty of issuing tasks, Miss Shi gave them a bad face and walked out of the cloth shop.

Jin Jiu looked at the token and murmured, "It's late over there, isn't it? Let's do the mission together tomorrow."

Xiao Yanling pouted and said, "I don't have class tomorrow on Sunday, so it doesn't matter if I go to bed later."

"No. Let's do it together tomorrow, including Jiang Yu and the others. I'll go see if there are any other tasks first, and I'll take you with me to pick them up tomorrow." Jin Jiu shook his head and rejected her lie.

Xiao Yanling had no choice but to say: "Okay then, I'll go offline first."

When Jin Jiu saw her disappearing, he was about to go to the gold, silver and jade store opposite, but a person flew past him and bumped directly into him.

Jin Jiu was fine, but saw that the man bumped into him and was bounced back, falling down in front of him.

"Catch the thief! Catch the thief! Catch..." The two came out of the gold, silver and jade shop, shouting hastily.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the magistrate's wife and her maid whom I met in the cloth shop just now.

The servant girl saw the man who fell on the ground, hurried over to catch him, and shouted: "It's him, who robbed the gold inlaid jade that our wife just bought."

The man stood up suddenly, shook off the maid's hand, and ran in the opposite direction again.

Jin Jiuhui couldn't see such an obvious plot trigger?

With a lunge, he swayed in front of the man and stopped him.

"Don't let him run away!" The NPC's cry for help sounded at this time.

From the player's point of view, Jin Jiu almost teleported there.Seeing someone with this ability, many players stopped and looked at them.

Seeing that he was at a dead end, the thief had no choice but to take out the red cloth bag he had just snatched away.

Jin Jiu took it over.

Some officials came out of nowhere and escorted the thief away.

"Thank you, young hero!" The maid took the red bag handed over by Jin Jiu and opened it. Inside, there was a golden Pixiu lying on a piece of jade-carved copper coin, intact.

The county magistrate's wife was still in shock, and after she calmed down a bit, she said to Jin Jiu, "Thank you, young hero, for your help."

"You're welcome." Jin Jiu said expressionlessly.

The county magistrate's wife smiled and said: "Young man looks very good-looking, he should not be from here. My husband is the local county magistrate, and I have nothing to repay. If there is anything you need, just say it is fine."

If it was normal, Jin Jiu might think that they would just be polite.But this is a game, how can we miss a chance to solve the puzzle?
After thinking for a while, Jin Jiu suddenly said: "Is there something wrong with the family? Pixiu is a thing to ward off evil spirits, and if it is used indiscriminately, it will be harmful to people."

[The keyword "Pixiu" triggers a hidden mission: The Abnormality of the Eldest Lady]

Jin Jiu looked at the prompt and he guessed it right.Most people buy gold inlaid jade for auspiciousness, and rarely buy Pixiu, which is indeed tricky.

The county magistrate's wife frowned, sighed, and said, "There is something wrong. Could it be that the young man knows about ghosts and gods? If so, it would be great! I wonder if the young man will be able to come tonight at Haishi A trip to the county magistrate's mansion? You will know when the time comes."

Jin Jiu nodded and bid farewell to the county magistrate's wife.

Xiao Minru's voice suddenly sounded:

[Jin Jiu, please come out.There are temporary tasks. 】

"What, are you in trouble? Can't you, the boss of the Soul Palm Division, solve it?"

【...Our informant came to report that the Eternal Life Sect is instigating mass suicide, but we don't know the specifics. 】

Mass suicide?

These beasts!

Jin Jiu said without hesitation: "Come."

In the next second, Jin Jiu found himself standing at the gate of Pingcheng Railway Station.

There are people coming and going here, rubbing shoulders, and looking around, it is dark.Most of them line up at the entrance.

Jin Jiu was stunned: "What do you mean? Train station? There are so many people, where can I find it?"

[This is up to you to figure out a way, I have no way to go back to Yangjian for the time being. 】

……

Jin Jiu felt like an ant in a tumbling crowd, surrounded by strange people, it was impossible for him to identify whether it was a wraith one by one.

While he was in distress, he saw a familiar figure——

"Kindaichi?" Jin Jiu called out to him in surprise, but this immature face looked more comfortable.

"Great God?" Jin Tianyi also opened his eyes wide and walked towards Jin Jiu.

The two said in unison: "Why are you here?"

"My mother and I came here, and she said that there are activities at the train station square today."

"Activity?" Jin Jiu's heart was full of alarm bells, and he asked, "What activity?"

"Uh..." Kindaichi seemed a little embarrassed.

"Where is your mother? Take me there!" Jin Jiu urged.

For something like mass suicide, it's too late.

"...Okay." Jintian saw that he was in a hurry to urinate, and without asking the reason, he hurriedly led Jinjiu towards the other end of the square.

Soon, Jin Jiu saw the event venue that Jin Tianyi said.

On the ground paved with granite, there were five large umbrellas. Several ropes were tied to each umbrella handle, and sheets of A4 paper the size of leaflets were hung on the ropes.Each sheet has a photo and a stack of resumes.

Several middle-aged people gathered around the white paper, looking at the information carefully.

There is a white table next to it, and two men in black suits are sitting at the table, talking to a young woman.

On the ground, there is a roll-up banner, which reads: "Magpie Bridge Leads by Line - XX Dating Agency."

Jin Jiu stopped in his haste and said blankly: "What kind of activity is this?"

Jin Tianyi blushed and said: "My mother is thinking about finding a stepfather for me, so I came to see this event."

Jin Jiu's hair was full of black lines, his mind was full of things about the Eternal Life Church, so he didn't know that there were other activities in the square of the train station.

Then he said embarrassingly: "Oh, haha, I misunderstood just now...haha."

Kindaichi asked curiously, "What kind of activity does the Great God think?"

"I heard...it's really nothing, just strolling around." Jin Jiuzheng wanted to say that some people committed mass suicide, but thinking that it would be useless to tell Jin Tianyi, and he might be involved, he casually played a sloppy eye.

"Tian Yi, come here, mom will introduce someone to you." Jin Jiu and Jin Tianyi looked in the direction of the voice together.

Kindaichi's mother, wearing a somewhat rustic dark red woolen short suit with shoulder pads, was looking back here.Standing straight in front of her was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Jin Jiu's eyes were a little dazed. Isn't this man the president of Pingcheng Agricultural University whom he met in Xiao Yanling's ward?

Seeing him, Jin Jiu felt a lump in his heart, always feeling some bad premonition.
