NOVEL NEXT Chapter 82
[Ahhhhhhhh! Here we go, the gambling has begun!]
[Is he dead? Dead? I’m going to win money!]
In the comment, the audience was gearing up and was ready to win.
Yu Qing’s body disappeared, and the brief “ah” was like water dripping into boiling oil, causing the originally calm live broadcast room to boil instantly. A barrage of messages from people thinking they were going to win money popped up one after another, urging the live broadcast on. It almost stalled, but the next second—beep—
A hand with slender bones reached out from the darkness, wrapped around a shiny gold chain, and clicked on the option of [Host Wins].
Was it…Yu Qing?!
The audience’s eyes widened instantly.
The live broadcast camera slowly rotated with the small blue screen, and after a while, they could see the boy clearly again.
It turned out he just passed an intersection and was pulled over by Qian Lai.
At that moment, in the live broadcast screen, the two people already saw each other clearly and each put down their weapons.
The tense atmosphere disappeared, but the audience in the live broadcast room sighed, full of disappointment.
[Damn, I bet a lot of money. I thought the host was going to die just now. I got excited for nothing!]
[Ah ah ah! Did you see? Yu Qing clicked the ‘Host Wins’ option, and the host could also participate in the bet!]
[The host would be betting with his own life when he participated in the gambling game. If he won, he could take away 80% of the opponent’s points. Ahhhh, I regret it a bit.”
[What do you regret? Everyone in the dungeon is looking forward to his death. Are you afraid he won’t die tonight?]
[Hiss… I have to say, I’m a little unsure.]
In the dungeon, his breathing gradually calmed down, and as he put down the talisman, Qian Lai breathed a sigh of relief: “My ancestor! You scared me to death!”
In front of him, Yu Qing paused and said hesitantly, “…You’re stealing my line.”
“…” Qian Lai leaned next to him, against the wall, pinching his eyebrows with a headache.
After calming down, he began to share the news: “Let me tell you, those temple ladies have no intention of letting me, a foreigner, get the incense money. They wanted to kill me!”
Yu Qing raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.
Qian Lai said, “I just realized that they hadn’t intended to let me live from the start!”
“They gave me the violin because they were sure I couldn’t play it. They wanted to accuse me of ‘disrespecting the deity’ and execute me. That way, my share of the incense money would naturally go to the temple.”
Qian Lai continued, “After the parade in the evening, I originally wanted to find you, but those temple ladies insisted on inviting me to the inner hall for a meal. There was big fish and meat, all delicious and extravagant.”
“But I checked it with the system and found it was poisonous, so I paid more attention and overheard their conversation about killing others and stealing the incense money.”
“In this village, an heir to the incense died every once in a while, and it was them who did it. Not only did they want to kill us, but they also killed people in their own village for money!”
After listening carefully, Yu Qing looked at him seriously: “So, you didn’t eat those meals?”
“Uh…” Across from him, Qian Lai’s eyes wandered, and he hesitated for a moment before admitting, “I did!”
“I bought an anti-virus gun from the system mall. The rare good food wasn’t human flesh. If you didn’t eat it, you wouldn’t get another chance. Wait, why do you care about this?”
After dodging the question, Qian Lai got back to the main topic: “After I ate, I heard shouts outside saying, ‘Someone broke the statue of Snake Deity.’ The group of temple ladies left, so I ran away quickly.”
His eyes moved slightly, and Yu Qing understood: “No wonder, when I said I was ‘Qian Lai,’ those temple ladies didn’t believe it. It turns out they locked you up…”
A soft voice murmured, and the people around him immediately asked, “What?!”
“Hey…” Qian Lai looked confused: “Don’t you have your own name? Why do you have to use mine…”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
As he spoke, a sudden, faint cry emerged.
Qian Lai immediately fell silent.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
The surroundings grew quiet, and the resentful voice became more pronounced.
Immediately afterward, the originally dark area on the side seemed to have some fatal attraction. Yu Qing and Qian Lai looked at each other and slowly turned their heads.
The red door they hadn’t been able to find before was right in front of them!
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Miserable cries came from inside from time to time. Due to the hoarse tone, it was hard to tell if they were male or female.
The soft, resentful ending made one’s bones feel numb.
Taking a breath, Qian Lai put away his usual careless manner, picked up his ghost-killing talisman, and took a cautious step forward. Suddenly, [Ding dong—]
Qian Lai jumped as the system announced: [Congratulations to the host Qian Lai for discovering the key clue “the imprisoned ladies,” the plot exploration rate is now 50%!]
[You are the first player to reach a 50% exploration level in this instance. Bonus points will be +5000. Please keep up the effort.]
As soon as the voice finished, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the young man’s body.
His thoughts were racing, but the live broadcast room was filled with excitement: [Ah ah ah, Qian Bao’er is really the European Emperor! When he overheard the temple ladies talking, the plot exploration only reached 36%!]
[Compared to the number of times Yu Qing barely escaped death, sacrificed his soul to the BOSS, and still only got 30%, I can’t stand it!]
[Oh no, don’t compare; Yu Qing’s fans can’t bear to watch this.]
In the dungeon, Yu Qing wasn’t watching the live broadcast room.
After learning that Qian Lai had found the plot, his eyes lit up, and he said, “Lin Xiaojing’s daughter is in there!”
“Huh? What?”
So, while Yu Qing was looking for a way to open the door, he told Qian Lai about his experience at Liu Qizi’s house.
“But…” Qian Lai asked, “Didn’t you find blood stains in the ceramic pieces? How did you know that Liu Laizi killed his own daughter?”
[Ahhhhhhhh! Finally got to the point!]
Because of this line, the audience who had been waiting eagerly focused on Yu Qing.
In the live broadcast, the young man’s eyelashes flickered, and just as he was about to speak, they heard: [Ding dong—]
[The live broadcast task has been refreshed. On the eve of the sacrifice, the host Yu Qing is asked to wear gauze and seduce the statue for 1 minute.]
