Chapter 28 Ledger
All four teammates had left, leaving Wanli Fengdao alone in the vast courtyard. Night had fallen; the moon was bright and stars were few. Chilled winds swept through intermittently, making the vague shadows of trees sway abruptly, as if something lurked in the dark, dense forest, spying on him.
Gathering dry branches, he piled them up. With his longsword in hand, Wanli Fengdao took out a bottle of high-concentration alcohol from his inventory and carelessly sprinkled it on the wood pile. Then he reached into his pocket for his Swiss Army knife and used its flint to ignite the fire.
A player’s inventory could hold a maximum of twenty items, separate from the equipment slots. Therefore, each slot in the inventory had to be carefully utilized. High-concentration alcohol, capable of igniting a large fire and erasing traces of corpses, earned its place in his inventory, while the versatile Swiss Army knife was carried on his person, not occupying an inventory slot.
As the flames rose and their light burst forth, providing warmth and dispelling the chill, Wanli Fengdao’s eyes reflected the firelight, softening the rigidity on his face significantly.
The crackling of the firewood masked the wind’s howl, as well as the faint moaning coming from outside the temple courtyard.
"URRRGH..."
It was clearly the moan of a woman, but it had nothing to do with springtime charm.
If it had to be described, it was like the desperate, hoarse sound that emanated when one’s throat was completely torn open and blood bubbled up from the trachea.
It was eerily reminiscent of Kayako’s sobbing in "Ju-On."
Wanli Fengdao had carried out many missions and reached Lv5. Moreover, to detect danger early and protect himself, he had deliberately stacked up his agility and perception attributes to 7 points.
