The corpse is talking?

What does that mean?

Are my actions dangerous in any way?

If there's danger, why isn't the parchment responding?

We have a contract!

Fang Yue continued to press, but the parchment remained silent.

Damn it, I feel like this parchment has gotten a lot more arrogant since entering the game.

Suppress! I must suppress it!

Thinking of this, Fang Yue threatened, "If you don't explain clearly, I'll tear you up!"

However, the parchment didn't react at all.

Even so, it was impossible for Fang Yue to tear up the parchment, so he had to resort to the same old trick.

"Not cooperating? Fine, then I won't look at your words! Not for a month!"

Almost as soon as Fang Yue finished speaking, a line of text suddenly appeared in his mind.

[The same trick won't work on the great and supreme Lord Parchment, hee hee hee!]

What?!

Fang Yue's eyes widened instantly.

"How, how can you directly project words into my mind?!"

"Then why would I need to look at you, parchment!"

The sensation of text appearing in his mind was very awkward and strange.

It was like a line of text suddenly popping up in the midst of normal thoughts and reasoning, abrupt and unnatural, extremely conspicuous, and for some reason, he immediately knew it was the parchment's words.

The parchment stopped responding.

But after Fang Yue calmed down and thought about it carefully for a while, he vaguely guessed the answer.

It might be related to the contract. The feeling of the text popping up was very similar to the feeling of being soul-bound.

Moreover, the parchment didn't have this function before signing the contract, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to threaten it back then in reality.

Fang Yue was a little unhappy.

It seemed like he couldn't do anything about the parchment for the time being, so he said dejectedly.

"Parchment, tell me, why can you bypass the contract and not provide me with help?"

"And what did you mean by 'The corpse is talking'? Is there danger in patrolling the night, or is there danger in provoking Lin Ling?"

"For these two questions, I'll give you 2g of black ember. I don't have it right now, but I'll give it to you next time I kill a strange creature. Can I get credit?"

The parchment seemed to be considering whether to agree to the credit, but after savoring the long-lost taste, it finally couldn't help but display the text.

[The foolish me, once again makes a pious and greedy request. The great and supreme Lord Parchment, with a benevolent heart, agrees to the act of credit, but only this once!]

[The foolish me gratefully received the response from the great Lord Parchment, bestowing a gentle divine revelation…]

Moreover, the danger didn't have detailed rules or specifics; it was entirely up to the parchment's judgment. Whether it was danger I perceived, or danger the parchment perceived, these were completely different concepts.

Fortunately, I could be certain that if there was any life-or-death crisis in reality, the parchment would definitely help.

As for the game, I would have to pay the price.

Understanding this, Fang Yue said dejectedly, "Then what about the other question? Which part of my previous actions was dangerous?"

[The humble me received a divine revelation, and was enlightened, admiring the great Lord Parchment with every fiber of my being, and piously asking the second foolish question.]

[The great Lord Parchment, with the great spirit of caring for the mentally challenged, left me with holy words, guiding me on my path.]

[When I put away the parchment and went to Lin Ling to switch shifts, I told him that I liked Hua Wu Ye, that I was going to pursue Hua Wu Ye, and that I must marry her.]

[The next day, in the clear morning, the weather was sunny and bright, and as soon as I went out, Lin Ling killed me.]

[My corpse was nailed to the stone lion in front of my house with a long spear.]

[The whole village hired a professional team, chose an auspicious day, and gave me and Chen Mu a grand funeral, with banquets, gongs and drums, congratulations, congratulations.]

Damn it, I'm dead, why are you so happy!

So, I was killed because I told Lin Ling about Hua Wu Ye.

Lin Ling is so brutal. You can't tell usually, but I didn't expect him to be so sentimental! He killed me for a woman without a second thought!

The scariest thing is that he knew to come after me during the day. If it had been at night, I really wouldn't have been afraid of him.

Fang Yue secretly became wary, while at the same time imagining the subsequent scene that the parchment had described.

It was probably after I took over the shift, and told Lin Ling that I was going to pursue Hua Wu Ye, and then Lin Ling pretended not to care, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he went into a dead end. So when daytime came, he killed me…

Wait a minute! That reason doesn't seem to make sense? Lin Ling doesn't seem like that kind of person…

Suddenly, Fang Yue's heart stirred, and he thought of the internal spy theory that Lord Han had proposed…

Could it be… that Lin Ling is the internal spy?! He originally wanted to hide all along, but now, seeing that I was going to take Hua Wu Ye away, he felt jealous, and without any restraint, he revealed the cruel side of an internal spy and killed me?

This, this, this, this is a little scary!

Just as Fang Yue was wildly guessing, the parchment didn't forget to add a sentence.

[September 3, 2050, night, clear, I owe the great Lord Parchment 2g of black ember, and hereby issue an IOU. Signed - Parchment, Signed ___]

Fang Yue: …

My life is hanging by a thread, and you're asking me for an IOU signature?

I, Fang Yue, got this information for free based on my own ability, why should I sign an IOU! No way!

Seeming to sense Fang Yue's thoughts, the parchment suddenly became angry.

[I didn't sign the IOU, my credibility is lost, and I am remembered in the heart of the great Lord Parchment, grudge grudge grudge grudge grudge grudge…]

The series of "grudge" words behind it was like when writing a text document and accidentally hitting the A key on the keyboard, frantically popping out AAAAAA, jumping non-stop.

The scariest thing was that after the parchment wrote "grudge" all over, it didn't forget to erase the previous words, and start again from the beginning, continuing to pop out "grudge", as if this could express how agitated it was now.

Fang Yue: …
