Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

"Brother! Where are you going?"

"Go dig up the grave."

"Cut... count me in!"

The playboy hitched a ride with Lu Ye and Chen Chen at the last minute.

Because it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized.

The two guys in front of them, one at the second realm of the "Contract" stage and the other at the third realm of the "Erosion" stage, turned out to be the hidden big shots among them!

Although I didn't understand what "digging up graves" meant.

But he still resolutely chose to cling to the powerful figure at this moment.

The three of them rushed out of the hotel and headed towards the cemetery on the back mountain.

Turning my head, I saw that the Wilderness Inn was shrouded in an eerie red light under the night sky, as if it had turned into a huge, monstrous demon ready to devour its prey.

A chilling roar, accompanied by an eerie atmosphere, churned within.

"Those two guys probably won't get out."

A flicker of fear crossed the playboy's face as he gripped a black umbrella and a pair of wooden clogs tightly in his hands.

"Luckily, I was smart enough to survive, and I even made a fortune..."

The black umbrella is a level two ghost artifact.

The wooden clogs were even more like level-three ghost artifacts that I'd never seen before!

These were all found at the last minute by luck.

"Um, you guys..."

The playboy turned around, about to ask what was going on, when his eyelids twitched.

The two men, each carrying an iron shovel, were digging rapidly at a small grave mound.

The tombstone in front of this grave bears the name of the grave's owner—Makinohara.

"Is it appropriate for us to dig up someone's grave right in front of them?"

"To correct you, it hasn't looked at us yet, so it doesn't count as being face-to-face."

"That makes sense, but why should we dig?"

"There's treasure inside."

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever done something like this."

"How are you feeling?"

"It feels... hehe, this is fucking interesting!"

.........

"Excuse me, may I ask what we're doing?"

The playboy was a little confused as he watched the two guys, one fat and one thin, huddled together and whispering to each other while digging.

Makinohara?

Shouldn't that be the name of Kirishima Yukino's husband?

He is still completely unaware of everything that has happened so far.

"I'm here to help out. I don't know much. You can ask him for details." Chen Chen pointed his chubby little hand at Lu Ye.

The playboy's gaze shifted over there.

Lu Ye: "Clear the dungeon."

Clear the dungeon?

The playboy's eyes flickered with a moment of confusion. "But that's not how it's written in the dungeon walkthrough."

"What does the walkthrough say?"

"The background described in the guide is that Kirishima Yukino, due to long-term domestic violence, transformed into a monster the moment she killed her husband Makino Hara with her own hands. She then resurrected her husband's corpse with resentment and kept it by her side to run the Hara Inn together."

"The master of deception needs to survive in the wilderness inn and try to gain as much favor as possible from Kirishima Yukino to increase the rewards for clearing the stage."

After saying that, the playboy confirmed, "That's right, that's how it's written. A dungeon guide sells for 200 million, it's been used for many years, and everyone has been doing it this way."

Lu Ye turned to look at Chen Chen: "Who wrote this garbage strategy guide?"

Chen Chen: "The Ghost Hunter Association, they not only sell tickets, but also strategy guides."

"That money must have been easy to earn."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Putting everything else aside, just considering the background, the logic is completely different.

If Kirishima Yukino killed her husband out of resentment, why did she revive him and keep him by her side? Wouldn't it have been better to just scatter his ashes and find someone else?

If Makinohara's body has been resurrected, then why is there still his grave in the cemetery?

"And now? What do you think?" Lu Ye asked, looking at the playboy.

"I..." The playboy looked down at the strategy guide in his hand, then threw it to the ground. "It's utter garbage!"

So the real plot background should be—

Lu Ye's tone became deep, revealing an air of wisdom.

"Kirishima Yukino is not cheating; on the contrary, she is extremely loyal to her husband, even with a kind of distorted love."

"Kirishima Yukino's husband is indeed dead, and it is very likely that a long time ago, he was killed by a guest who was gazing at Kirishima Yukino's beauty and killed Makinohara in the process."

"Later, all the guests who attempted to take advantage of Kirishima Yukino's body were killed and imprisoned in those guest rooms. The strange things in those guest rooms are those guests."

"The impotent husband in the hotel isn't Makino Hara; he's pieced together from the bodies of other guests. Didn't you see the stitching marks under his clothes?"

"Makinohara also transforms into a monster under Kirishima Yukino's resentment, but can only appear in another space after midnight. Kirishima Yukino will actively seduce every guest and then give them to her husband to eat, just like Muscle Man."

"But all of this did not happen in the scene we see, but was replicated in the world of the reflection, which is the space we are in now."

"This is the real A-rank dungeon, [The Widow of the Wilderness]."

Lu Ye radiated a dazzling light of wisdom.

This time, without needing to speak, Chen Chen already offered his praise: "I praise your wisdom."

The playboy was deeply shocked and felt dizzy.

That sounds outrageous.

But it seems so logical.

"If that's the background, then this grave should contain Makinohara's body, right? What would happen if you dug up his body...?"

As they were talking, the playboy noticed that Lu Ye had used the iron pry bar to pry open a coffin.

After opening it, before he could even see clearly, Lu Ye's hand had already rummaged around inside several times, seemingly collecting something.

Then only a half-rotten corpse remained in the coffin.

"I'll do it, I'll do it," Chen Chen volunteered, raising his hand.

He pulled a golden demon mask from his pocket, put it on his face, opened his mouth, and spat out a stream of eerie blue flame, instantly burning the corpse in the coffin to ashes.

Finally, give it a gentle blow.

The ashes were scattered everywhere.

Lu Ye turned to look at the playboy: "What were you trying to ask just now?"

"I...I mean, what would happen if you scattered Makinohara's ashes?" the playboy stammered, repeating himself.

"Is that even a question?" Lu Ye had a look on his face that said, "You don't even understand?" "Of course they'd be furious if their ashes were scattered."

Ugh!!

At that moment, a piercing roar suddenly erupted from the Wilderness Inn, causing a sharp pain in people's eardrums.

The monster, with countless arms and legs grafted onto its body, gripped the ground and charged madly toward the cemetery on the mountain.

As it crawled, its limbs kept falling off, leaving behind a mess of slimy fragments and tissue.

Holy crap!

The playboy was enveloped by an extremely cold and angry aura, and almost couldn't help but turn and run away.

However, it was soon discovered that the monster only climbed halfway up the mountain before collapsing to the ground because its limbs had detached from its body.

Eventually, it slowly melted into a puddle of slime and bits of meat.

"One's dead, but there's still one left."

Lu Ye stepped forward, looking down at the Wilderness Inn, which was gradually becoming bustling with excitement.

Extend your right hand, palm up, fingers slightly bent.

It is a gesture of grasping in the air.

"Red Thread, Thousand Curses"

Lu Ye let out a soft breath.

Tens of thousands, even hundreds of millions of crystalline red lines emerged from the ground, crawling and climbing along the outer wall as if they were alive.

The entire Wilderness Inn was enveloped in a blood-red glow, with thousands of red lines illuminating the night.

"break."

Lu Ye gently tightened his loosely clenched fingers.

next moment.

The entire Wilderness Inn was right in front of them, cut into countless fragments.

Collapsed, disappeared.

Chen Chen gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

At the same time.

An even more piercing roar, accompanied by boiling ghostly energy, rose from the ruins.

A-rank mystery, Kirishima Yukino.
