The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 483-484: A Scream in the Night; People Frozen to Death

483: A Scream in the Night

Rui Baby explained in detail the difference between congenital yin and acquired yin and the reasons how an area with extreme yin could be formed.

At this point, Ming Xi and the others realized the kind of place they had mistakenly entered. Yaoyues eyes had changed as Baby Rui explained. She thought about all the beasts in the catalog, but couldnt find a match for the baby. She couldnt recall any beast with such deep knowledge of the dead that looked like him.

Then according to you, wouldnt those places where a lot of people die become places with high concentrations of yin? Tang asked interestedly.

Che, dumb mortal. Very particular criteria must be met for extreme yin areas to be formed. If it was just a bunch of people dying, then the entire world would already be covered in extreme yin and the undead would have occupied every space already. Rui Baby rolled his eyes and sighed at the low IQ of human beings. Sure enough, a genius like him was hard to come by.

Sister Yaoyue, is what this little guy said correct?

Yaoyue nodded. Yes, it is exactly as he said.

Everyone heard the conversation. Their hearts weighed heavily at the revelation, and as a result, they were even more vigilant.

What should we do now? How long will the rain go on for? We cant stay for forever! Geente was irritable.

This rain is not something ordinary humans can withstand. Evil spirits will likely overcome anyone who rushes out. Their hearts will become dominated with killing intent. Yaoyue warned.

In other words, if they rushed out, they would lose their minds and become a lunatic.

Eventually the temperature in the room stabilized but it was still cold enough to make people shiver.

Ai Lin shrugged. It seems we wont be able to leave until the rain stops.

The same was true in the original story, but in that one, there was no necromancer like Yaoyue and no smarty pants baby to warn them. In that one, people had rushed out and suffered an unimaginable fate.

Everyone who rushed out died in the rain.

The rain outside the window now was so dense, they couldnt see anything except flashes of lightning as the thunder boomed.The atmosphere put everyone on edge.

They sat to wait out the rain. Eventually they got bored enough to start chatting with each other.

A few people talked to Mogefeis group. As for Yaoyue, though she had a bad temper, she wouldnt randomly make enemies, so she didnt alienate those who came to chat with her about the rain. She wasnt friendly, but she didnt put on airs either.

The rain continued unrelentingly, as minute by minute, time passed. It was nighttime, but since they couldnt see outside, they could only assume the time based on how long they had already been inside the building. Some snacked and others slept.

Their sleep was disturbed when a scream suddenly rang out in the second half of the night.

Feng Wu awoke in a daze. Several other people were also awakened, having had fallen asleep earlier.

Somebody yelled, Whats the matter?! What happened?!

Whos screaming in the middle of the night?! Geeze! said a person annoyed at being disturbed.

Whats going on? Caesar asked.

He hadnt brought a lot of people on the trip, but his group was still the largest of the four in the building.

One of the two girls who interrupted Caesars conversation with Zi Cheng earlier yelled out, Master Caesar! Its bad! I think Regina is dead!

Lead the way.

The girl nodded and hurriedly led Zo and Caesar to a small kitchen not far from the hall everyone was resting in. She explained the situation quickly.

Regina had her period and needed a private place to clean herself. But Caesar said the mansion was dangerous and everyone needed to stay close together as much as possible.

With this in mind, they didnt intend to go far. After searching a bit, they came upon the kitchen. Regina would use it to wash up while she would stand watch outside the door.

If something happened to them, everyone outside would certainly hear it; so they didnt think it would be dangerous. They never expected something to happen where they wouldnt even have the chance to call for help.

When Regina didnt come out after ten minutes, she got worried and knocked on the door. There was no answer. Immediately she knew something was wrong. She forced open the door only to be confronted with a cold, blue-faced corpse.

That was when she screamed and ran to get Caesar.

The scream had been so loud, it woke everyone up. Mogefei went over with Ming Xi and Feng Wu to check on the situation.

Regina died so tragically! Woo. . .  woo. . .  Who in the world killed her?! The girl cried sadly.

Both girls adored Caesar and Regina was even interested in Zo, but despite this they had a good relationship and werent at odds with each other. The current trip was just supposed to be an outing; instead Regina ended up losing her life.

Xiao Ni, did you see anything when you came in? Zo asked after looking around. He saw nothing strange other than the wet patch near the open window.

The rain outside was filled with such strong yin and suffocating qi that no human could have come through the window. That meant whatever killed Regina couldnt be human. Interesting.

Rui, go and check Reginas body for cause of death.

There was no obvious trauma on Reginas body. Her clothes werent askew and her face was abnormally calm, so calm in fact it gave the people there the chills.

Rui was Caesars subordinate. He caught Caesars eye because he was a youth in his twenties with good talent.

484: People Frozen to Death

Ai Lin, following behind, was even more shocked. What happened? None of this was in the original story! Caesar did have people in his group die, but the first one wasnt this Regina girl. The way she died wasnt in the book either.

Ai Lin came of her own initiative and had secretly followed behind Mogefei out of curiosity.

Rui walked over and carefully examined Regina. It didnt take him long to make a report. His face was expressionless as he said, All the blood in Reginas body is gone. Additionally, there are two tiny pin pricks on her neck. This way of dying, where the blood is drained, is similar to dying under the hands of someone from the blood race.

The blood race! Caesar never expected the blood race would have anything to do with Reginas death. How could a blood person be in the vicinity?

Zo was incredulous. Werent they supposed to encounter ghosts? Now all of a sudden it became the blood race?

Everyone who heard was horrified. The blood race! Monsters who killed without remorse and fed on human blood.

But the thing was, werent the people of the blood race notoriously afraid of the sun? For them to be in the desert wasteland where it was incredibly hot and bright, werent they afraid of being scorched to ashes?

This is just one possibility. We dont know for certain this was the work of a blood person. Its possible something else caused Reginas death. Rui clarified.

Caesar nodded, pleased with Ruis performance.

None of them could conclusively say it was the act of someone from the blood race. No one was going to be able to sleep with the shadow of Reginas death so near.

Captain, do you think the blood race did it? Ai Lin leaned forward, completely unafraid of her cold-faced captain. Mogefei had nothing on Tian Ya. After comparing the two, Mogefei wasnt that intimidating.

Mogefei glanced at Ai Lin calmly. The rest of the team were waiting for Mogefei to tell them what happened.

All they knew was that someone from Caesars side died. As for the who and how, they had no idea. They were all very curious.

Zi Cheng really wanted to go to Caesars side and ask, but knew it wasnt the right time. Someone had just died on his side, so the atmosphere around his group was bad. It was better for her to get information from her captain.

Mogefeis revelation stunned them. The desert wasteland was not an amicable place for anyone in the blood race. Even though the temperature was low at night, the temperature during the day was unbearable.

Except for Tian Ya, who didnt care, everyone else began discussing who the culprit could have been. Could someone from the blood clan really have done it?

Baby Rui yawned and laid on top of Feng Wus chest. His eyes occasionally strayed to Harts group.

It was as they said; it was unbelievable for someone from the blood race to be there, but no matter how incredible it was, there were two right there in the room. As far as Baby Rui was concerned, it didnt matter what the two blood members wanted to do, as long as they didnt mess with Feng Wu, he wouldnt bother with them.

The little guy waved a small fist in his heart and fell flat on Feng Wus chest as he happily snored asleep.

Feng Wu knew her little guy had seen through the disguises of the two with Hart, but she didnt say anything.

Rui Baby wasnt a kind-hearted thing; he only cared for the people he cared about who he cared about. Anyone else, he wasnt going to bother with. Though every now and again, he was willing to make exceptions if he was in a good mood.

Senior Yaoyue, you said there were sinister things here. Maybe Regina was killed by one of those things? Tang hazarded a guess, and the more he thought about it, the more plausible the idea became.

Yaoyue shook her head. I did not see the corpse so I cant be sure.

There was a difference between those killed by ghosts and those killed by the blood race. The aura left behind by a blood person was different from that left behind by a ghost. Until Yaoyue saw the body, she wouldnt be able to tell.

Are you going to take a look now? Huozhou asked as he looked up.

Yes. Yaoyues speech wasnt as annoying when she wasnt being willful.

Mogefei nodded and took her to see the corpse.

It didnt take them long to return.

Yaoyue easily determined Reginas death had nothing to do with spirits. There was no lingering aura of resentment around Reginas body. In fact, Yaoyue couldnt even find Reginas soul. There was no way she would have missed a new formed ghost spirit, so she wondered if perhaps Reginas soul had deteriorated.

From that point on, anyone left alone was frozen to death. It was as though Reginas death was a switch that set more deaths in motion.

Yes, both magicians and sword users were frozen to death. Being able to enter the desert wasteland proved they werent weak. They had fighting qi and magic to protect themselves, so it was impossible for their bodies to be disturbed this way, yet here they were, frozen to death.

After reading the corpses, Yaoyue stated they were all killed because of the immense amount of yin energy in their bodies.

There wasnt a trace of a single ghost spirit despite the number of deaths. The rain showed no signs of relenting and the dark clouds left their hearts feeling heavy. The number of deaths kept building up.

By the second day, most many in Caesars group had fallen victim to a frost death. His group and the second group, the only group in the mansion without a connection to Ming Xis group, were the two with the highest casualty.

Ming Xis group and Harts group were the only ones without any deaths to report. However, their good fortune ended after the second day.

On the third day, Geente abruptly fell like a frozen lump to the ground in front of everyone and died without warning.
