Chapter 123: Wronged Souls, Corpses, NPCs

After leaving the island, Li Miao continued to sail forward along the channel separated by the dark border.

The number of monsters that appeared along the way did not decrease at all, and was even gradually increasing. Although there was no threat to him, it was annoying.

Fortunately, Li Miao saw the second island before he sailed for a long time, and the guidance of the spirit candle appeared again, guiding Li Miao in the direction of advance.

After arriving at the island and lighting the milestone spirit candle again, Li Miao stood up and was about to continue exploring the island.

But as soon as he stood up, he suddenly froze, and his heart skipped a beat.

I saw a figure standing quietly on the coast of the island, facing him.

And because of the dark environment, he couldn't see the other person's face at all, but fortunately the game gave an information prompt.

[Island Wrongful Ghost]

[Rank: Residual Ashes]

[Level: 5]

[Talent: Soul Body]

[Skill:? ]

[Description: The wronged soul that has not dispersed for a long time due to the condensation of resentment lingers on the island, staring at the living, resentful of the injustice of fate. 】

After seeing this information, Li Miao was relieved.

I was shocked. It turned out to be just a small monster. I thought it was a ghost!

... I don't know what he understood as a ghost.

Seeing this, Li Miao became bolder and walked up directly.

This lonely island ghost was also motionless. He just stood there quietly, staring at Li Miao with his gray eyes, which made him feel a little scared.

"Take my shot!" Li Miao snorted coldly.

Soon, the lance was raised, and a cold light flashed.

The soul of the lonely island ghost seemed to be affected by the cold air. After a blur, it was forced to dissipate.

But even if it dissipated, it still stared at Li Miao.

[You killed the lonely island ghost]

[Obtained: Index finger with resentment]

[Index finger with resentment]

[Type: special item]

[Effect: It will always point to a mysterious place. ]

[Description: Hatred and resentment condense, turn into an index finger, and point to a place. ]

Special item? It should be similar to the task props.

After thinking for a moment, Li Miao took a look at the index finger in his hand.

This is a gray and cold broken finger. The broken part is very uneven. It seems that it is not cut off, but more like it is torn off alive.

In Li Miao's hand, it seems to have life, shrinking and wriggling by itself, until it points to a certain place, and then stops moving.

After Li Miao put it on the ground and shifted the direction, the index finger moved again and pointed to the previous direction.

In addition to feeling interesting, Li Miao also felt a little creepy.

This route is already depressing enough, and there is such a thing...

"I want to see how much resentment you have."

Li Miao muttered, picked up the index finger, and moved in the direction it pointed.

The direction pointed by the index finger is still on this small island. Li Miao quickly passed through some dry low bushes and arrived at the destination.

After being illuminated by the candlelight on his body, Li Miao looked at the scene in front of him and frowned immediately.

A mummy-like corpse had its limbs tightly bound and tied to a carefully made fixed frame. Its body was covered with painful scars, its fingers and toes were all torn off, and its mouth was sewn up alive with needle and thread... The torturer seemed to be extremely disgusted with his mouth.

But even so, one could still see extreme pain from its frozen expression.

Its attire looked a bit like a church clergyman.

Moreover, around it, there were traces of other people's activities, and some sand with footprints had even "solidified". As long as Li Miao tried to change it, it would return to its original state.

The index finger with resentment pointed to this place.

Li Miao recalled the appearance of the lonely island ghost just now, and found that the two were indeed very similar.

It seems that the lonely island ghost came from this corpse.

"What is this... Could it be another cult sacrifice ceremony?"

Li Miao was a little confused.

At this time, the index finger on his hand moved again, and suddenly flew out of his hand and came to the bottom of the corpse. After fiddling with the tattered clothes for a while, he hooked out a torn piece of paper.

Li Miao walked forward and picked it up.

[Obtained: Torn Pieces of Paper (I)]

A piece of paper was not only torn, but also wrinkled.

The index finger of the wronged soul soon moved again.

It kept guiding Li Miao to run on the nearby beach.

Finally, after finding 8 pieces of fragments, the index finger of the wronged soul finally stopped and pointed in a direction in the sea.

Was this finger meant to lead him to find this thing?

Li Miao was a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, he put the fragments on the ground one by one and prepared to start piecing them together.

But at this moment.

An accident happened again, and an unexpected voice suddenly sounded.

"Hello, this powerful knight..."

The owner of the voice used the native language of this world. The timbre sounded cheerful, but the tone was a little vulgar, which made people feel very strange.

Swish!

Hearing this sudden figure, Li Miao quickly stood up, holding the frost lance and looking vigilantly at the source of the sound.

He saw a man wearing a wandering warrior's clothes, with half of his face hidden in a hood, slowly walking towards him.

"Who are you?"

Li Miao narrowed his eyes.

Except for one [? ], I didn’t see any information.

...npc?

Could it be that he was with the crock man?

This made Li Miao frown.

"Oh, oh, oh...calm down, don't get excited...powerful knight." When the visitor saw Li Miao holding the frost lance as if he might attack at any time, he quickly stretched out his hands and comforted: "I Not your enemy, not a monster, there will be no disputes between us..."

Although Li Miao's words sounded very strange, he was surprisingly able to understand them, which made him even more curious.

As he spoke, he put down the hood on his head, revealing a handsome and upright face.

However, combined with his slightly vulgar temperament and verbal behavior, people can't help but feel a little weird.

The man smiled kindly at Li Miao.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Leti, and I am a salary collector." After that, without waiting for Li Miao to respond, he said enthusiastically and familiarly: "You should be a salary collector too, right? I didn’t expect that we would meet each other, we are really destined..."

Just after he finished speaking, his message changed from a question mark to [Leti].

At this time, Li Miao was completely able to confirm that the guy in front of him was indeed an NPC.

However... Li Miao did not relax his vigilance because of this.

This is not the first time that NPCs have appeared in Lingzhu, and players have also discovered that there are differences between NPCs.

Some are as weak as Ryan, some are as dangerous as the Crock Man, and some can even chat with players for a long time. Everything is very real.

So NPCs are not necessarily all good.

The Crock Man last time was a wake-up call for all players.

After the player was reshaped, although his level remained unchanged, most of his equipment was lost. This was very fatal.

Naturally, Li Miao always remembered it.

Therefore, when he saw the NPC in front of him, his vigilance never relaxed.

But for now, it seems that this guy has no intention of taking action, or he is planning something.

"Yes, how do you know?" Li Miao put away the Frost Lance and said calmly.

When he goes out, his identity is given by himself, let alone pretending to be a salary collector. If he has a clay pot now, he can just put it on.

Seeing that Li Miao seemed to have relaxed his vigilance, Leti smiled broadly: "On the dark road, warriors are always attracted to each other..."

"By the way, I don't know your name yet, dear knight."

"Brother Wei." Li Miao said.

"Weige? What a strange name..." Leti's smile paused, but soon recovered. He pointed at the corpse in front of him and said, "Since we are all wage earners, I suggest that we cooperate. How are you doing?"

"This place is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may die. It's so scary..."

Leti said.

"What kind of cooperation method?" Li Miao asked.

"I suggest we share information and try our best to help each other tide over the difficulties, how about that?"

Finally the fox's tail is revealed.

Li Miao couldn't help complaining. It seemed that this guy probably came here because of what he just discovered. He didn't know how long he stared at it before running out.

This guy... doesn't look like a good person!

However, as a player, Li Miao is not too afraid. He wants to see what kind of plot this [Leti] can bring to him.

"That's it..." Li Miao touched his chin and said in his expectant eyes: "What if I refuse?"

In response, Leti's expression froze, but he quickly continued to smile: "Of course, you have the right to do so, Mr. Vigo."

When Li Miao heard this, he smiled in his heart, and then said: "Okay, I agree, let's cooperate."

When Leti heard this, he felt happy. Just as he was about to say a few polite words, he saw that Li Miao had already knelt down and started to look at the piece of paper.

Although these pieces of paper were torn, they were not too shredded. Li Miao quickly pieced them together based on the traces.

[Obtained: Broken Letter of Advice]

【Broken Advice】

[Type: Letter]

[Content:... That well should never be opened. Its blessing is just a lie. In fact, it is an ominous omen and a source of disaster. This will lead to the destruction of the city-state of Casa. Run quickly, all cards The living in the city-state of Sa...]

[Explanation: The broken advisory letter also symbolizes the extreme disagreement. 】

Well...blessing...ominous omen...Casa City-State...

Li Miao extracted some key words from it and felt that it might be related to the situation on the peninsula.

"Sorry..." Leti rubbed his hands and said expectantly: "Can I read the content above?"

Hearing this, Li Miao, who was thinking about it, came back to his senses and then nodded: "Okay."

With that said, he stepped aside.

My condition is still a bit bad, I will try my best tomorrow
