Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

#247 - Chapter 247: Hints in the Nursery Rhyme

Looking at the dead bride before him, Xu Tong was silent, turning his gaze towards the main quest objective.

No wonder the previous diary entries always mentioned the word "death."

So it turns out the bride is dead!

But the strange thing is that, in Xu Tong's view, the main quest didn't change at all after he discovered the bride's death.

In other words, Xu Tong's main goal is still to take this bride away, put her on the bridal sedan, and send her off to get married.

Combining the various subtle hints within this instance, Xu Tong frowned slightly.

"This... wouldn't be a ghost bride, would it?"

Xu Tong had seen many ghosts in previous instances, so he wasn't that panicked, but how to get this ghost bride onto the bridal sedan became a new problem.

After hesitating again and again, Xu Tong asked, "Excuse me, bride, it's time to get on the bridal sedan. Should I help you walk... or carry you?"

The ghost bride didn't answer Xu Tong's question, or even take any action. The red veil on her head swayed slightly with the eerie cold wind.

Xu Tong reached out to the ghost bride, wanting to see if she would react.

But, at that moment!

From Xu Tong's shadow, a dead man's arm suddenly stretched out, grabbed his outstretched hand, and forcefully pulled it back.

After confirming that it had pulled Xu Tong's hand back and prevented it from entering the dangerous area, the dead man's arm slowly sank back into Xu Tong's shadow, not reappearing.

"This is..."

Xu Tong watched the dead man's arm sink into his shadow. Inside the shadow was the female ghost he had encountered before, the banished death god that Zhen Yizhen had mentioned.

Since it was a death god, it could probably see the danger of the ghost bride at a glance, so it stopped him from taking further action.

"I can't even touch her? Then I have to think of another way."

Xu Tong's eyes scanned the ghost bride back and forth, gradually focusing on her feet.

It wasn't because the ghost bride's feet were particularly beautiful, but because she was wearing such a beautiful red wedding dress, yet she wasn't wearing any shoes, which seemed a bit too strange.

"Is it related to the previous instance introduction?"

The instance introduction mentioned a nursery rhyme.

Xu Tong had heard of the name of the nursery rhyme, called "The Wedding Song."

The content mentioned in it had some subtle similarities to the scene in front of Xu Tong.

The phrase "There are flower shoes, there are new hats" mentioned the word "shoes."

Xu Tong raised an eyebrow. "Does that mean I have to find a pair of shoes?"

It wouldn't be difficult to find a pair of shoes. Downstairs was Qingcheng Pharmacy. As long as there was enough cost, he could get what he wanted.

But, the only problem was.

Did the ghost bride need everything mentioned in the nursery rhyme?

"Gongs and drums", "bridal sedan", "new shoes", "flower hat".

These were all mentioned in the nursery rhyme, especially the bridal sedan, such a big thing, even mentioned in the main quest, but since Xu Tong appeared in this instance, he had never seen any bridal sedan.

Did he have to find this thing himself?

"Okay, then you wait here," Xu Tong specifically instructed the ghost bride, "Don't run off somewhere else when I come back with the shoes."

After saying that, Xu Tong walked out of the bedroom.

The moment Xu Tong left the bedroom, the ghost bride seemed to respond to Xu Tong's words, actually moving her neck and head.

Gently nodding.

——

In room 401, Xu Tong rummaged through boxes and cabinets looking for something that looked somewhat valuable.

But honestly, the bride's economic situation could only be described as tight-fisted. Not to mention valuable things, even if a thief broke into her house, they would probably have to leave two hundred yuan in tears.

"There's no way, let's just do this, I hope Qingcheng Pharmacy doesn't try to rip me off."

Taking some miscellaneous items that looked somewhat valuable, Xu Tong quickly went downstairs and came to the front of Qingcheng Pharmacy.

As soon as he walked in, Xu Tong found that the wreaths belonging to him and his "family" had disappeared.

He didn't know if they had been moved away.

Coming to the medicine cabinet, Xu Tong stated his request.

"I want a pair of red embroidered shoes for a wedding."

There was no response from inside the medicine cabinet.

Xu Tong was also silent, he didn't understand why there was no movement from the medicine cabinet.

[Your eyes had carefully examined the bride's feet before, you should need a pair of size 37 red embroidered shoes]

Xu Tong:……

Although he wasn't interested in feet, he now suspected that his eyes had some special fetish.

"Size thirty-seven."

Finally, after learning the size, there was finally some reaction behind the medicine cabinet.

A strong smell of corpses emanated, and a strip of cloth was still pushed out, with the required price written on it.

Xu Tong stared at the nine candlelights on the medicine cabinet and began to pile the miscellaneous items in his hand onto the medicine cabinet one by one.

But, even if Xu Tong piled all the things in his hand on the medicine cabinet, only three candlelights were lit, not meeting the transaction requirements at all.

Xu Tong:……

Medicine Cabinet:……

The entire Qingcheng Pharmacy fell into an eerie silence.

Xu Tong really didn't expect that this pair of red embroidered shoes for a wedding could sell for so much. He had already piled up all the things in his hand, but the price was still not enough.

How does this pharmacy do its pricing? Could there be some shady dealings?

Helpless, Xu Tong could only spread his hands and said, "I have no money, you can do whatever you want."

Looking like a big shot even though he had no money.

Behind the medicine cabinet, a dead man's arm stretched out from the darkness, slowly pulling the things Xu Tong piled up into the depths of the medicine cabinet.

"Huh?"

Xu Tong raised an eyebrow.

Could this also be traded? Even though the transaction amount didn't meet the standard?

The facts quickly denied Xu Tong's speculation. A piece of paper was pushed out from the medicine cabinet.

It still had words written in bloodstains, but it didn't write the price.

Instead, it wrote a string of text.

"Building 5, 504, lipstick in the bottom drawer of the dressing mirror."

Xu Tong looked at the words on it and couldn't help but frown.

Then, he raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the medicine cabinet.

"What's wrong, boss, do you want to put on makeup too?"

There was no sound from the depths of the medicine cabinet responding to Xu Tong's bizarre question.

"Okay," Xu Tong shrugged, "Then I'll go find it for you."

Before leaving, Xu Tong reacted and said, "By the way, I also need gongs and drums, a bridal sedan, and a new hat, do you have them here?"

There was still no response from the depths of the medicine cabinet.

It seemed to be waiting for Xu Tong to bring the lipstick.

Seeing that the medicine cabinet ignored him, Xu Tong could only walk out of Qingcheng Pharmacy.

As soon as he walked out, Xu Tong saw that the old woman who had been sitting under the tree was now at the entrance of the pharmacy.

The old woman didn't say a word, just silently sat not far away, observing Xu Tong's every move.

Revealing a smile.

Neither like a human.

Nor like a ghost.
