Deep Sea Game: So I'm Already a God

[The exploration progress has been advanced and the main mission has been updated]

[Investigating the cause of death of Lin Sheng’s parents]

[Current mission introduction: You found the best witness on the night of the incident. After questioning, you learned that Lin Sheng's figure had appeared in the heavy rain last night. His parents had called him "child", but for Lin Sheng

You have always had doubts about the cause of your parents' death. Even if you have become a resentful spirit, you still don't believe that Lin Sheng would do such a thing. You decide to try to find Lin Sheng's returned resentful spirit to find out.]

[Current mission goal: Find Lin Sheng’s resentful spirit]

Has the mission really been updated? Could it be that Lin Sheng's resentful spirit killed his parents? This is too...Su Ming was shocked and doubtful, and quickly checked the new mission information updated on the panel.

At this sight, his face turned green.

Good guy, do you want me to confront the resentful spirit?

He looked at the man and asked, "Uncle, when did Lin Sheng die?"

After hearing this, the man briefly recalled, "It must have been last week. Calculating the days, today is the seventh day. His parents originally wanted to bury the first seven..."

Tou Qi? Did you really come back in the middle of the night?

Su Ming nodded, his expression not very good. The ghost in this scene seemed to be different from what he thought.

He thought that according to traditional folk horror films, ghosts should also have emotions, so they wouldn't kill his parents, right? Still using such cruel methods.

The man interrupted his thoughts, "Xiao Su, please don't tell anyone. If this spreads, Lin Sheng's family will be moved to another place for burial."

"Oh? You are so close to their house, aren't you afraid of seeing Lin Sheng again at night?" Su Ming asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Hey, what am I afraid of? Lin Sheng and I have no grievances, and I didn't destroy his body. According to the legend of the village, after he has avenged his revenge, the resentful spirit should leave." The man didn't look like he mentioned these things just now.

So nervous.

"Okay, uncle, don't worry. I understand the rules and won't talk nonsense." Su Ming nodded, then left.

"The whole corpse will be sealed and the gods will bless it. Otherwise, the resentful spirit will return and the organs will be donated..."

With this information flashing through his mind, Su Ming felt that he seemed to be not far from the truth, but there was a premise. Was what the uncle just heard and saw all the facts?

He glanced at the next door. It seemed that Lin Sheng's house had almost been tidied up. Several people who looked like village cadres were gathered around and seemed to be discussing something in low voices.

"Buried together? Absolutely not! This child can be buried in the village. His parents must move away."

"But there is no one else in his family, so who will be responsible for moving it out and burying it? Besides, what age is this? We don't want to force the family to be separated for the sake of tradition, right?"

"What do you know! His parents are like that. If he is buried in our village, something big will happen!"

…

Among the village cadres, a few young ones and a few older ones were divided into two groups of opinions. The younger ones generally didn't believe in these taboos and just wanted to get Lin Sheng's family buried in peace as soon as possible, while the older ones looked solemn.

His tone was stern, and he refused to let Lin Sheng's parents be buried in the village no matter what.

Su Ming paid attention to the conversation of several people, especially the expressions of the elders. It was obvious that he was extremely taboo about the integrity of the corpse of the deceased, as if... he had seen a resentful spirit return because of this.

"Then let the whole village vote tonight at the ancestral hall. If more people agree to let their family be buried together in our village, we will bury them. If more people disagree, then we will move his parents out."

The dispute finally came to an end. Su Ming heard clearly that tonight, Fenling Village will hold a voting ceremony in front of the statue in the ancestral hall, and all the villagers will decide on the burial plan for Lin Sheng's family.

Soon, Su Ming was accosted by one of the village cadres, reminding him to go to the ancestral hall to vote tonight.

Su Ming nodded in agreement and watched the village cadres disperse.

He returned to Lin Sheng's house again. The floor had been almost cleaned, but some blood stains could still be seen.

However, Su Ming was not afraid or disgusted, and walked in directly.

After seeing that few people were paying attention outside, he started looking around inside.

"If what the uncle next door said is true and Lin Sheng's parents really sold Lin Sheng's organs for money, then they will leave something behind."

Whether it’s money or a donation agreement, there must always be something left behind.

After searching almost the whole house and still finding nothing, Su Ming stopped.

However, the few people who had entered the house to clean up flashed through his mind, and one of them had been rummaging around in the house for something.

At that time, I thought he was sent by the village committee to investigate the death of Lin Sheng's parents.

What if, he is not?

But this is just my guess. Maybe the old couple didn't bring the donation agreement with them when they came back.

Su Ming found a small chair and sat down, allowing his physical strength to begin to recover, and then his brain began to think quickly.

"This village taboos the integrity of corpses. Lin Sheng's parents died like this. Who is the murderer and what is his purpose?"

"First, Lin Sheng's parents really sold his organs, and their death was indeed the result of Lin Sheng's first seven vengeful spirits returning last night to take revenge. That's why the murderer's methods looked cruel and inhuman, because they were vengeful spirits.

Do it.”

"Second, the death of Lin Sheng's parents has nothing to do with Lin Sheng. It may be that enemies who had serious conflicts with their family took advantage of the fact that the old couple were exhausted physically and mentally after losing their son. The purpose of such methods was simply to vent their anger.

...From a game perspective, this is unlikely, so let’s make a hypothesis first.”

"The third type is that someone deliberately killed the old couple, but it was not against their family, but just like in crime movies, the purpose of killing was to silence them and to cover up something."

But, if it was just to silence them, why bother destroying the body? Wouldn’t this attract more attention to others in Fenling Village?

If I were the murderer and silenced myself in order to cover up the information, I would have pretended that the couple committed suicide or died of a heart attack after being overly sad. It would never be possible to make it so eye-catching.

Even if there is no need to worry about being caught because it is difficult to solve crimes in rural areas, there is no need to destroy the body, right?

Su Ming still couldn't believe that it was Lin Sheng's ghost who killed his parents. Even if there were ghosts, they should have grudges and revenge.

After clearing his thoughts, he came to the door and felt a slight chill.

It was already past noon when we first entered the village, and it was a cloudy day. It was getting dark now, and it seemed that it would get dark soon.

After turning around and looking at the coffin and portrait in the room, Su Ming left.

There are currently no clues to confirm the third guess. He plans to go to other parts of the village to find out more information to see if Lin Sheng's family has any enemies. Anyway, there are basically three possibilities, and one can be ruled out.

As for the first guess, is it the main quest to confront the resentful spirit of Lin Sheng?

Ghosts are something he can see if he wants to, and what if it is really Lin Sheng's resentful spirit that does it? If he gets involved like this, he might end up getting killed, so he has to investigate clearly first.

Su Ming searched his memory to find the villagers who were the most enthusiastic about him among the villagers who had recognized him before. He planned to pick a family to have a meal with to increase the recovery speed of his physical energy, and also asked about whether Lin Sheng's family had any enemies.

And not long after he left, the portrait of Lin Sheng on the table, whether due to condensation or something else, actually had a drop of water slowly flowing down from the eye of the photo, like tears.
