Chapter 62 - The Missing Murphy

Gu Fei and Xiaoyu left the church and visited Chief Edwin once more

“Chief Edwin, hoas Murphy, the one killed by the Werewolf, as a person?” Gu Fei got straight to the point

“Murphy was a kind-hearted, virtuous lad He was loved by the villagers, so many were saddened by his death,” Chief Edwin commiserated

Gu Fei specifically asked hi skills, yet the latter only repeated his previous words

“Where is Murphy buried?” Gu Fei asked

“He is buried in a graveyard behind the hill south of the village It is where all the dead villagers are interred,” Chief Edwin answered

After inquiring about all this, Gu Fei and Xiaoyu strode out of Chief Edwin’s house They quickly headed to a general store in the village, bought a raveyard’s location

“What are we doing next?” asked Xiaoyu as she eyed the shovel Although Xiaoyu was a natural airhead, she was still able to guess what Gu Fei planned to do

“Dig a grave,” Gu Fei replied honestly

“Why are we doing that?” Xiaoyu asked

“Murphy’s character seems a little fishy to me,” Gu Fei answered

“What’s fishy about his character?” Xiaoyu curiously asked

“He seee chief doesn’t know about it,” Gu Fei answered

“Then, how do you know about it?” Xiaoyu continued inquiring

“Uhhh… It’s just a hunch,” Gu Fei said to her simply, as he did not kno to explain his intuition

“Oh…” Xiaoyu actually accepted such a vague answer

Xiaoyu was apparently not afraid to do anything for the sake of questing, as the idea of exhu a corpse did not even illicit a shred of fear in her The two arrived at the graveyard by the southern hill After finding Murphy’s engraved na close to it alternately

A brown coffin was soon unearthed before their eyes Gu Fei stuck his shovel into the gap between the lid and the coffin and called Xiaoyu for help

The Strength-based Xiaoyu reached out for the lid and pulled it up The cap was easily separated froruesome inside, Gu Fei immediately covered Xiaoyu’s eyes with his hands as he scanned the contents of the coffin

“I’ a corpse!” Xiaoyu peeled off Gu Fei’s hands from her eyes and peered into the coffin as well, “Eh? Why’s it ehts

“Did they get lazy ame?” Xiaoyu asked

“I don’t think so If they hadn’t bothered with the details, they wouldn’t have buried this coffin here in the first place Since they even designed the coffin, it wouldn’t be difficult for theht? There must be a reason why it’s like this,” Gu Fei analyzed

“Maybe, Murphy isn’t truly dead?” Xiaoyu suggested

“That” Gu Fei agreed, “Or someone stole the corpse”

“Why steal it?” Xiaoyu asked

“I don’t know Maybe, there’s a secret inside the corpse,” Gu Fei answered tentatively

“So what do we do now?” Xiaoyu asked

“Noait,” Gu Fei answered

“Wait for what?” Xiaoyu questioned

“If unearthing this coffin is not part of the quest, it will revert back to its original buried state But if it’s actually part of the quest plot, it will return under the ground only after we complete the quest,” Gu Fei explained

Xiaoyu was duhed, “When all is said and done, Parallel World’s quests werewith these quest designers e’re doing a quest or inter difficult quests like this, it’s beneficial for us to try and understand their thought process”

Xiaoyu displayed a look of distress for some time until she finally blurted out, “I don’t even knohat they’re thinking about!”

Gu Fei chuckled, “I don’t as well It’s just a hunch”
