Chapter 268 Secret
Xiao Cui jumped out of the car like a madwoman, pried open the bamboo that was frozen in ice, ignoring her bleeding fingers.
"No, sister, no! Jin Suisui isn't here. Has Jin Suisui been murdered?!"
"Xiao Cui, don't rush, let's get in the car first, the rain is too heavy. By the way, I'll look in the human groups, if you have any groups too, ask in those groups as well."
After getting on the bus, Lu Youyou opened the public chat.
[Lu Youyou: @All members, if anyone knows the whereabouts of the monster NPC Jin Suisui, DM me, I'll give a big reward!]
[Brave Bull: Ahhhhh, I only regret that I didn't pay attention to the information about monsters. What kind of monster is Golden Spike? It even has a name and a surname, just like a human.]
[Colorful flags fluttering: Jin Suisui, that name sounds familiar, my ex-girlfriend's name was Jin Suisui.]
[Confused: Don't bother me if you don't have any information upstairs. If Lu Youyou doesn't like you, she'll teleport you to your side and kill you. I know Jin Suisui, she lives at the foot of a bamboo-covered mountain! If Sister Youyou wants to know more, 3000 gold coins~]
If someone could vaguely recall Jin Suisui's address, they must have seen Jin Suisui before.
Lu Youyou immediately sent a private message to Hunhun.
[Lu Youyou: When did you see Jin Suisui? Was she injured at that time?]
[Humme: No, boss. Jin Suisui made me a bowl of fresh bamboo shoot soup back then. That soup was especially delicious. After drinking it, I felt refreshed. Then I helped her farm gold coins all morning, and the task was completed.]
[Lu Youyou: This morning?]
[Humme: Yes, boss, let me tell you, Jin Suisui's address is easy to find. It's a mountain covered in bamboo forests, and her house is at the southeast foot of the mountain.]
[Lu Youyou: I'm at her house, but she's not home.]
[Confused: I don't know then, maybe they went out to play? Oh right, boss, my 3000 gold coins...]
Lu Youyou transferred 3000 gold coins to him, and then continued to read the public chat messages, hoping that someone could tell her the latest whereabouts of Jin Suisui.
hum~
My watch vibrated; someone had sent me a private message.
When Lu Youyou saw the person's name, she wanted to swipe away, but when she saw the message he sent, her finger still involuntarily clicked on it.
[Gu Jingchen: Jin Suisui is in my hands. I've completed the mission related to her. You can find her and kill her, but I need to exchange information with you.]
[Lu Youyou: What information?]
[Gu Jingchen: When I was with the Stone King, she let it slip that you had defeated him. Tell me how you defeated the Stone King, and I'll give you the Golden Harvest.]
The Stone King?
she?
When Lu Youyou thought about how the Bamboo Maiden had turned into a new stone mountain when she left, her heart skipped a beat.
She looked down at Xiao Cui, who looked at her with complete trust, and was momentarily dazed.
Perhaps... it's just a coincidence?
Lu Youyou replied with an expectation that was barely perceptible.
[Lu Youyou: Is the Stone King a woman? He was a man when I fought him.]
Gu Jingchen: You're not lying to me?
[Lu Youyou: You have something I need, why would I lie to you?]
[Gu Jingchen: How could that be? The Stone King is clearly a woman; my quest description says "Stone King - Bamboo Girl."]
She really is a bamboo maiden.
Without Jin Suisui, she couldn't complete her mission and would be trapped here forever.
To complete the mission, you must tell Gu Jingchen how to kill the Bamboo Girl.
Once Xiao Cui finds out, will she still obediently cooperate with him to increase the gold coin merchant's favorability?
Put yourself in her shoes. If the person who kept calling her "sister" was the murderer of her mother, she wouldn't stop until she died with that person. So why would she help that person complete the mission and leave this place?
Lu Youyou's stunned expression was so obvious that Xiao Cui realized something was wrong.
Trained by the honey badger warriors, his movements were as swift as the wind, and he had already read everything on his watch.
Xiao Cui's face turned pale instantly. She covered her wet cotton-padded coat, as if begging Lu Youyou for pity.
"Sister...please don't kill my mother, please don't help that person, please?"
Since Xiao Cui had seen it, Lu Youyou saw no need to hide it.
She treated Xiao Cui like an adult, not deceiving her, but engaging in equal dialogue.
"Xiao Cui, I must get out of this game, but if I don't complete the mission, I'll be trapped here forever. Do you have a better way?"
Xiao Cui, tears streaming down her face, shook her head helplessly: "No, don't kill my mother. My mission isn't finished yet. My mother can't die. If she dies, everything will be for nothing."
What is your mission?
"I must become a high-level monster, I cannot let my father down! The other soul core within me belongs to my father! My father is already dead, my mother cannot die now, she cannot die now!"
Xiao Cui screamed until she was hoarse, and in the end, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Sister, please, Mom can't die now."
Lu Youyou frowned; all of this was beyond her comprehension.
She knew that the tasks she had undertaken were related to Xiao Cui, but she didn't know that they were related to Xiao Cui becoming a high-level monster.
"What do you mean by 'your mother can't die now'?"
"Sister, I'll tell you everything. I'll tell you the whole plan. Please save my mother, okay?"
"You speak first."
Xiao Cui suddenly burst out laughing, as if she had just thought of something.
"You killed my mother, so I won't cooperate with you to increase your favorability with the gold coin merchant. In that case, you'll be stuck here, and you'll grow old while I grow up. As long as I live, I'll haunt you forever."
After saying that, her desperate expression turned timid, and she apologized with tears streaming down her face.
"I'm sorry, sister. I don't know why I did this. I'm sorry."
"Mom said that if we bamboos are to become high-level monsters, we have to eliminate the most heinous monsters. But here, only the Stone King is the most heinous monster. He not only eats people, but he also eats monsters!"
"We can't beat the Stone King, so Mom came up with an idea: let the survivors defeat the Stone King, then eat his heart and become the new Stone King. That way, when I kill her, she'll just pretend and won't actually kill me, and I can defeat the Stone King and become a high-level monster!"
Lu Youyou was deeply shocked, shocked by maternal love and by the obsession of the lowly monster with becoming a highly monster.
"To become a high-level monster, the father willingly gave up his soul core and even made the child kill the mother with his own hands. Was it worth it? Why do you believe what adults say so much?"
Xiao Cui shook her head: "Sister, you're wrong. It wasn't that the adults told me to kill Mother with my own hands. It's that we're too weak to kill the Stone King, so we had to resort to this method."
"As for whether it's worth it, I don't know. From the moment I was born, my mother told me that her destiny was to be killed by me. My father worked hard to compete with other monsters for resources in order to increase the power of his Soul Core, and then he would give it to me."
"Sister, do you know? Monsters that commit crimes will be exiled to dungeons. Unless there are special circumstances, they will not be resurrected after being killed. Only when they become high-level monsters and have their own titles can they go to work. If they are killed by humans while on duty, they can be resurrected the next day."
No wonder.
No wonder the Bamboo Girl smiled so unnaturally when I talked to her and asked if the Stone King would be resurrected.
And why is it that when the Bamboo Girl eats the Stone King's heart, she becomes the new Stone King?
At the time, she was wondering if the Stone King would compete with the Bamboo Girl for the position when he was resurrected the next day.
It turns out the previous Stone King won't be resurrected.
