Although She’s Only a Level 1 Noob, She’s Still Incredibly Powerful - Chapter 7 Part 1

“Wait a minute.” Mo Jie rubbed two fingers at the base of the mountain, “Is that really Widow Du’s husband we’re carrying over here?”

“It is.” Bai Qiuye said, “When Du He was arranging the work, she mentioned the name of the corpse, which was Du Youfu.”

The others might not remember this detail, but it was clear in her memory.

“So what the hell is going on?” The hairband man couldn’t stop looking around, as if someone was hiding in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity.

“Time is messed up.” Liu He said.

“Huh?”

“The time twenty years ago and twenty years later overlap.” Liu He explained.

“You’re saying that this copy actually has two timelines.” Mo Jie pushed the frame, “That explanation makes sense.”

“No wonder Widow Du’s house only has red candles on the first floor with happy words written on them, but the ground floor has tributes to sacrifice ghosts.” The Hairband Man said, “It would make sense if the upstairs was the wedding night twenty years ago, and the downstairs was the Mid-Yuan Festival twenty years later.

Bai Qiuye sniffed with a sudden jolt. She hadn’t expected a copy that had been around for thirteen years to make such an amazing discovery.

Didn’t the unfamiliar houses on the side of the road when they returned from Master Wang house and the ghostly encounter also confirm this?

It was a strange image that was formed when the two timelines overlapped.

“And who is this person in red?” The hairband man said that the last entry of the note was a year ago, which could prove that this person’s timeline was not twenty years ago, “Why did he die in the well with this record?”

Hearing his words, Bai Qiye’s gaze fell on the face of the corpse in the red shroud.

The face looked like a steamed bun soaked in water, the skin stretched into a thin layer like a completely wet parchment, vaguely revealing the texture of the muscles underneath.

The bloated and swollen muscles gave it a creepy look.

“Why does this corpse feel so strange?” Seeing that the corpse had no tendency to pretend to be dead, the Hairband Man boldly poked at the corpse’s surface with a tree branch.

Only to see the branch pierce through the skin and into the swollen muscles.

The sound emitted was like poking through dozens of soaked sheets.

“He has been paperized” Liu He said, “It should be over 50%.”

“We are no longer a headless fly, we finally have clues.” Mo Jie said, “The time difference doesn’t affect our work, as long as it’s done in the right place at the right time.”

They removed Du Youfu’s body completely from the well, only to find that the body, which they had just put in the well, was so rotten that they couldn’t tell what it looked like.

The corpse was like a stewed rotten chicken, and the bones could be easily removed with a casual stroke of a boning knife.

The hairband man asked in shock, “Did it soak that quickly?”

Even if it had been soaked in industrial alkali, it was simply unbelievable that the muscles and fascia could be soaked and fluffed up so quickly.

Bai Qiuye asked, “Could it be because the timeline of the well is changing?

Mo Jie was stunned, “It’s possible.”

They endured the nausea and moved Du Youfu’s body to the stream.

The stream divided the foot of the mountain into two halves, they were in the south and the other half was in the north.

When they arrived at the stream, the live broadcast room suddenly zoomed out. The audience saw that the stream where Bai Qiuye and the others were was curved, like the middle line dividing Yin and Yang in the Tai Chi symbol.

Half Yang, half Yin.

The corpse oil lamps that Bai Qiuye and the others had lit were glowing, but they were so small that they could be swallowed by the darkness in an instant.

The space divided by the stream seemed like two worlds.

The rocks on the shore looked like ghosts and monsters lurking here, and strangely shaped plants spread up the bank.

One side was lush, while the other was dead, withered and stale, like the ominous night rumored by the older generation, shrouded in fading fog.

At that moment, the same light appeared on the other side, so dark that not even the cold moon could penetrate it. It drew Bai Qiye and the others in like a magnet.

The audience in the live broadcast room was terrified, and the barrages on the screen froze for a long time.

This light was very similar to the light coming from the oil lamp.

What exactly was it?

In the copy, Bai Qiuye and the others did not notice the extra light.

“The corpse is soaked in dead water, and the bones are washed in living water. It is very vicious and resentful, so avoid it by burning a lamp.” Mo Jie looked at them, “Bone washing or lamp burning, choose for yourself.”

“Washing the bones is to cleanse the grievances and let the dead souls rest in peace.” Chen Chen guessed, “You said Widow Du asked us to wash her husband’s bones, is it because her husband died unjustly?

“Was Du Youfu killed by her?” Chen Chen felt like he had found the blind spot of the whole story, “Ghosts that have been murdered are more powerful than ghosts that have died by accident, Turning into a corpse would definitely be Du Youfu’s ability.”

“When he died it was the night of his wedding, great joy and sorrow are extreme emotions, it is normal for him to turn into a ghost.” Mo Jie said helplessly, “And the note also said that you can avoid burning lamps.”

“But-”

“You have to choose a job anyway, look at Bai Qiuye, she’s only at level 1 and she’s not even as scared of death as you are.” Mo Jie turned his head and saw that Bai Qiuye was sticking something on her body, her movements were clean and crisp, without hesitation.

It was a rectangle piece of thin paper with some red marks on it like ghostly peach charms.

Mo Jie was startled.

What the hell was that?

He opened the terminal and identified the thing in Bai Qiye’s hand.

A prompt appeared on the terminal.

[A Casually drawn peace talisman: An extremely ugly peace talisman, similar to the one drawn with a foot, which has a certain effect on resisting off evil spirits. The effect remains the same when used in a stack]

Mo Jie: “….”

Sorry, he said it wrong.

Bai Qiuye was the one who was most afraid of death.

Her defence prop must have been given to her by someone else. He had only accumulated six defensive items in the past six months, and he would not just use them unless it was a matter of life and death. She really doesn’t know their usefulness, casually using such props. Tsk, she is still inexperienced.”

“Bai Qiuye, if you put this kind of peace talisman on you, it is equivalent to using—”

Mo Jie paused mid-sentence.

Surprisingly, Bai Qiuye was still continuing her actions from earlier, frantically pasting on talismans.

How many talismans did she want to stick?

Besides, weren’t her special props too much?

And was it necessary to stick so many?

Didn’t it say that the effect would remain the same after stacking and using them?

Bai Qiuye had already plastered the front and back of her body with talisman paper, She looked like a walking yellow paper fan.

Mo Jie and the other three stood next to her, all of them filled with a strong sense of security.

After pasting the last one, she let out a long breath: “Okay.”

Even Liu He, whose mood was not easily swayed, had his mouth open at this point, staring blankly at the talisman paper on Bai Qiuye’s body.

Bai Qiuye looked up and saw them staring at her, and asked, “Why are you staring at me?

Chen Chen’s eyes glowed as he looked at the peace talisman on Bai Qiuye’s body.

The only defence he had on him had been used up earlier, and now he was as insecure as if he had stripped off his clothes and walked naked down the street.

Bai Qiuye, on the other hand, was like a walking fortress, wearing an alloy armour.

Chen Chen: “Why did you stick so many peace talismans?”

Bai Qiuye: “What if it suddenly blows away, put more for insurance.”

Mo Jie and the other three: “…”

How can there be sudden wind!

Are you not thinking too much!

Chen Chen asked with difficulty, “Do you know how valuable defence props are?”

Bai Qiuye: “Of course I know, didn’t you say that before?”

She felt that Chen Chen was mocking her.

On the way here, Mo Jie had explained that there were three special props in the copy that were very rare.

She had been trapped in this copy for thirteen years, where would she have the chance to get such precious props?

Even though she had been able to collect a lot of junk in each cycle, she could hardly use them in this copy.

As far as she was concerned, the Peace Talisman was just a crappy piece of equipment that could only be used in a level 1 copy, not comparable to the high-quality props items Mo Jie and the others were after.
