Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

Chapter 518: The Unsettling Exploration of the Abandoned House

The door of Yunari's house creaked, as if telling the helplessness of the old house.

The house was in a mess, with furniture toppling over and over, as if it had experienced a small earthquake.

Clothes and books were scattered all over the floor, like a robbed grocery store, and the air was filled with the smell of dust.

Mixed with a faint musty smell, it makes people frown.

"Sorry, the house is a bit messy..." Yunari smiled awkwardly, her cheeks slightly red, like a ripe apple.

Wu Hen looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but whistled: "My goodness, have we entered a den of thieves? These thugs are even more ruthless than bandits!"

As he spoke, he fanned the dust from his nose with his hand.

But I was wondering whether the system would come up with some weird tasks, such as "Clean the room and get an invincible broom as a reward."

Lin Qiye looked around, frowned slightly, and quietly spread his mental power, trying to capture a trace of residual abnormal energy fluctuations.

However, he found nothing but chaos and dust.

"They have come here many times," Yunari's voice was filled with helplessness, like a deflated ball.

"Every time he turned the house upside down, saying he was looking for something, but he never found it."

Her tone was full of powerlessness, as if she had become accustomed to this kind of disturbed life.

Wu Hen stroked his chin and analyzed pretentiously: "Tsk tsk, these guys must be looking for some treasure! Maybe it's a priceless antique, or some lost secret manual..."

There was a cunning glint in his eyes, like a fox that had spotted its prey.

"Ah..." Yunari sighed and began to pick up the items on the ground silently.

She bent down and picked up the scattered books one by one, her movements gentle, as if they were treasures.

Suddenly, a rapid phone ring broke the silence in the room.

Yunari picked up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and her face turned pale instantly.

"Hello... yes, I am..." Her voice trembled, as if she was greatly frightened.

After hanging up the phone, Yunari's eyes instantly turned red and tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.

"My...my father...he was...shot dead in the police station..."

Wu Hen and Lin Qiye looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

This sudden news exploded in the hearts of the two people like a bomb.

After a brief silence, Wu Hen patted Yunali's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be too sad, we will help you find out the truth of the matter."

Lin Qiye nodded, his eyes firm: "Let's go, let's go to the container."

After leaving Yunari's house, the two walked side by side on the street, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Wu Hen suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Qiye: "Old Lin, do you feel that things seem to be getting more and more complicated?"

Lin Qiye didn't say anything, just looked at Wu Hen deeply, and then continued walking forward.

Wu Hen shrugged, quickly followed, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that we have to speed up the progress..."

He looked up at the sky. It was dark and starry, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.

"Ding ding ding——" Wu Hen's cell phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced at the screen and saw a message from the system.

"Ding! Triggering the special mission: Flower Guardian! Mission objective: Protect Yunari, reward: Mysterious skill!"

Wu Hen raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, "I was just worried that I wouldn't have a chance to show off, now I have something to show off!"

At this moment, Lin Qiye suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on a dark alley ahead, and he said in a low voice: "Someone is following us."

Lin Qiye's mental power was like an invisible giant net, carefully sweeping through every corner of the room.

The dust trembled slightly under the fluctuation of energy, like tiny creatures floating in the water, with nowhere to hide.

He is like a sophisticated scanner, not missing any suspicious trace.

Apart from a faint smell of mold and dust in the air, there were no other abnormal energy fluctuations.

"Tsk, it seems these thugs really didn't get anything out of it." Lin Qiye thought to himself and withdrew his mental power.

Wu Hen was like a curious baby, touching here and there, looking around, and picked up a wood sculpture with peeling paint to play with it.

"I say, this thing isn't some hidden mechanism, is it? Is there a blood oath or something?"

"You're overthinking it. It's just an ordinary piece of junk." Lin Qiye glanced at him unhappily.

Yunari was quietly tidying up the room. She carefully picked up a photo frame with a missing corner and gently wiped the dust off it. The woman in the photo had gentle features, and she looked like her mother when she was young.

There was a barely perceptible trace of nostalgia and sadness on her face.

Wu Hen walked over, his eyes moving back and forth between the photo frame and Yunari's face, "Sister, is this house your mother left to you? This is a house with a story!" His tone was frivolous, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Yunari shook her head, her eyes dim. "The name on the property deed isn't my mother's. It's... someone I don't know."

"Fuck, this isn't going to be a melodramatic drama, is it?" Wu Hen raised his eyebrows, looking like he was watching a play.

"Could this house be an inheritance left to you by some mysterious rich man? Or is it some kind of connection from a past life?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Qiye glared at him. He realized that this matter might not be simple. "Who's the name on the property certificate?"

Yunari shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed the call log on her phone and frowned: "These past few days, there's always a number that ends with 110 calling. Could it be..."

"Jingle Bell--"

Before Yunari could finish her words, her cell phone suddenly rang. The shrill ringtone made her body tremble, and the photo frame in her hand almost slipped.

She looked pale and glanced at the screen.

Lin Qiye and Wu Hen looked at each other, and the air froze instantly.

"Who's calling?" Lin Qiye asked in a low voice.

Yunari picked up the phone tremblingly. The ringtone was still ringing rapidly, breaking the silence in the room, as if urging something that was destined to happen.

Wu Hen's eyelids twitched, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He subconsciously looked towards the door.

"This call seems quite interesting..." He showed a playful smile, as if he was looking forward to the start of a good show.

"Hello..." Yunari answered the phone tremblingly, her voice as thin as a mosquito, as if it would be disconnected in the next second.

Wu Hen and Lin Qiye held their breath and pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any word.

A formal male voice came from the other end of the phone.

With a hint of impatience, he said, "Excuse me, is this Miss Yunari? This is the Osaka Police Station. Your father, Yuzuki Takuma, was shot dead by the police during an arrest operation early this morning..."

"Boom!" Yunari's mind went blank, as if a bomb exploded in her ears, buzzing.

She gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white, and her body swayed as if she would fall down at any moment.

"What?! Killed?!" Wu Hen widened his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost. This plot development was too ridiculous!

He was complaining in his heart, is this the tear-jerking drama of the year?

Lin Qiye frowned, his eyes sharp as a knife, his intuition told him that things were not simple.

Osaka Police Station?

Arrest operation?

There seems to be some unknown secret hidden in this.

The person on the other end of the phone continued, "Yuzuki Takuma's belongings need to be collected by relatives at the police station. Please come and complete the procedures as soon as possible."

"Relics..." Yunari murmured to herself, tears blurred her eyes and the world in front of her was hazy.

She seemed to see her father's kind face and hear his gentle voice, but all this had become the past.

"Beep, beep..." The sound of the phone being hung up was like a sharp knife, piercing Yunari's heart.

She collapsed on the ground powerlessly, tears streaming down her face. The sadness surged like a tide, drowning her.

Wu Hen looked at Yunari's sad expression and felt mixed emotions.

Although he is usually careless, he couldn't help but feel pity when he saw the girl crying.

"System, is there any magical tool that can comfort girls? Like a 'sadness remover' or a 'happy spray'?"

Wu Hen muttered to himself, hoping to get some help from the system.

"Ding! Special mission triggered: 'The Strongest Wingman'! Mission objective: Comfort Yunari, reward: A copy of 'The Secret to Picking Up Girls'!"

The system prompt sounded in Wu Hen's mind.

"The secret to picking up girls? Is this thing useful?" Wu Hen complained in his heart, but decided to complete the task first.

Lin Qiye walked over to Yunali, patted her shoulder gently, and said in a deep voice: "My condolences."

Yunali raised her head, looked at Lin Qiye with tearful eyes, and said with a sob: "My father... he is not a bad person..."

"I know." Lin Qiye said firmly, "We will find out the truth of the matter."

Wu Hen also came over and said seriously, "Sister, don't be sad, you still have us! We will help you get justice!"

"Let's go," Lin Qiye stood up and looked out the door, "Let's go to the police station."

Wu Hen grabbed Lin Qiye and said mysteriously, "Old Lin, don't worry, I have a bold idea..."

"A bold idea? What tricks are you planning to do?" Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows. He was no longer surprised by Wu Hen's "crazy ideas".

Wu Hen smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Lin Qiye's ear, and whispered, "Think about it, this police station is definitely not a good place to go. Wouldn't it be like walking into a trap if we just go there?"

"We need to change our thinking and improve our strength first, so that we can catch him off guard when the time comes!"

Lin Qiye's mouth twitched. He felt that Wu Hen's way of thinking was different from that of normal people. However, when he thought about it carefully, what he said seemed to make some sense.

"So what's your plan, kid?"

"Hehe, I've thought about it a long time ago!" Wu Hen smiled triumphantly, then turned to look at Yunari who was still sobbing, and his tone became eight degrees softer.

"Sister, look at you crying so hard, your eyes are swollen like walnuts. Come on, I'll take you to a good place. I guarantee your mood will turn from cloudy to sunny immediately!"

Although Yunari was still sad, she almost laughed out loud when she heard Wu Hen's inappropriate comfort.

She rolled her eyes helplessly: "What time is it, and you are still in the mood to joke?"

"In life, the most important thing is to be happy!" Wu Hen shrugged and pulled Yunali up from the ground. "Don't worry, I'm here to make sure you have everything you need, and I'll help you get revenge for your father!"

Yunari looked at Wu Hen's confident look, and although she was still a little worried, she nodded.

She didn't know why she trusted this man she had just met. Perhaps it was because the heartless optimism he exuded infected her.

Lin Qiye looked at the two of them singing the same tune, sighed helplessly, and thought to himself, this Wu Hen is really a weirdo, but it’s okay, at least it can make Yunari forget her sadness temporarily.

The three of them packed up simply and left this dilapidated old house full of memories and sadness.

There is still a faint smell of mold and a hint of blood in the air, as if telling the story that happened here.

On the way, Wu Hen kept joking with Yunari, and all kinds of network jokes and earthy love words came out of his mouth.

This made Yunari burst into laughter, while Lin Qiye followed silently behind, vigilantly observing the situation around him.

Soon, they arrived at the familiar container area. Grandma He was sitting on a shabby wooden chair, basking in the sun leisurely.

Seeing the three people coming, a kind smile appeared on her old face.

"You are here. Is everything done?" Grandma He's voice was still hoarse, but it sounded reassuring.

"Grandma He, I..." Yunari was about to speak when she was interrupted by Wu Hen.

"Grandma, we have something urgent to do. We'll come back and chat with you later!"

After Wu Hen finished speaking, he pulled Lin Qiye and ran towards the other side of the container.

"Lao Lin, I have to go do something first. Tell Yunari that I'll be back soon!"

Before Lin Qiye could react, Wu Hen dragged him for a long distance. He shook his head helplessly, thinking that this guy must be up to something again.

"Grandma He, they..." Yunari looked at the departing backs of Wu Hen and Lin Qiye with a puzzled look on her face.

Grandma He smiled and didn't say anything. She just looked at the direction they left with her cloudy eyes, with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.

At this time, Wu Hen had already dragged Lin Qiye to the deepest part of the container. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said expectantly, "Old Lin, I feel like I'm one step closer to becoming stronger!"

"What are you doing again?" Lin Qiye asked unhappily.

Wu Hen grinned and pointed to a shabby billboard not far away, which read "Gods Mental Hospital, Welcome!"

The few large characters looked particularly strange under the setting sun.

"I think we should apply for the position first. Maybe we'll find something surprising there, or maybe even become the dean."

Wu Hen said excitedly.

Lin Qiye: “…”

"Let's go, don't stand there, the sooner you go, the sooner you can enjoy it!" After Wu Hen said this, he took big strides and walked towards the weird "mental hospital", his figure looking a little free and easy.
