The Charming Little Beauty is Being Targeted Again [Infinite]

The Widow in the Mansion 19

Yu Deng didn't know yet that his good stepson was already engaged in a conversation with the chosen killer, even discussing the important issue raised by Cheng Xiao.

Of course, discussing how to win over the young widow's affection was not the intended topic for the killer miss.

Yu Deng had already stepped out of the room.

The sky outside still hadn't lit up, with a light rain falling and a chilling wind blowing. He wondered if the players had noticed the changes in the mansion.

Not wanting to get wet in the rain, Yu Deng asked a servant for an umbrella.

The fine raindrops fell in the gloomy mist, visibility reduced to just one or two meters, everything around appearing hazy.

Yu Deng wanted to turn back immediately.

But since he was there, he decided to do something to ease his fear.

"System, accompany me to unravel the plot.."

【Okay】

The name Cheng Xiao mentioned in his ear was Lin Zhiyue.

Yu Deng had never considered her before, and now he struggled to understand what Miss Lin might have gone through.

Complications don't always occur among peers. Based on chronological reasoning, Miss Lin was likely subjected to the intrusion of the Cheng family patriarch and grandson, perhaps even something more severe, leading her to commit murder.

If that were the case, the so-called heroic rescue at the school was simply a cover-up.

Yu Deng thought, if Miss Lin truly experienced those events, he wouldn't sympathize with the deceased Cheng family members at all.

Bullying vulnerable women was despicable behavior.

However, in an infinite instance, players are also innocent, Yu Deng thought with concern.

Behind Yu Deng, the mansion was completely out of sight, as if last night's scene was replaying.

Yu Deng stared down the endless road. Nervous and frightened, his heart raced.

"System, I want to go home..."

System 01's electronic voice remained steady, 【I am here with the host.】

As the distance from the mansion grew further. Yu Deng felt he had walked for at least half an hour before hearing the system's voice.

【You're here. Please be careful, host.】

Yu Deng's special ability had a progress bar of about fifty percent. He activated his power, but unlike previous times, this time his body temperature didn't change significantly, just feeling slightly lighter.

Folding his umbrella, Yu Deng cautiously traversed through the dense fog and finally saw what awaited him.

Before him was a flat area, covered in gray-brown gravel, devoid of vegetation, with only a few scattered weeds.

In the center of the flat area, there was a recess, which turned out to be a coffin.

The coffin, in red and black, was of an indiscernible material, with thick, cold coffin boards nailed securely and sealed by long nails.

The coffin was adorned with talismans painted in cinnabar.

Yu Deng stood at the edge, shuddering.

"Is the fierce ghost I need to seal inside there?"

【Yes.】

“But it seems like the one inside can’t get out.”

The coffin was sealed tightly, with nails and various talismans, indicating that whoever sealed it did not want its contents to see the light of day again.

As Yu Deng muttered, the coffin wobbled slightly. The firmly embedded nails began to loosen and slowly fell away.

Yu Deng’s heart raced, letting out a small whimper.

He needed to finish the task and get out of there quickly.

Clutching the umbrella tightly, he tried to look imposing as he faced the coffin. “L-let me re-seal you!”

As he spoke, all the nails fell off, the dark gold and cinnabar talismans twisted and blurred, and the coffin lid slid aside.

Pure black mist poured out of the coffin, and the being inside opened its eyes, its gaze deep, looking at its former wife.

Sealed again... Could such a beautiful person also have such a cold and vicious heart?

The black mist grew more agitated, extending toward Yu Deng.
