Chapter 125: Chapter 124: The True Identity of the Werewolf is..._2

At this point, he was almost eighty percent sure.

Lu Yao obviously realized that the werewolf was pretending to be calm at this moment. She sneered, "That’s hilarious, no wonder that scarecrow seemed so sinister. So it was you, you charlatan! Haha, we’ve got you now. You’re done for!"

Seeing that neither of them had fallen for his trick, the werewolf’s face darkened considerably.

At this instant, Mu You had moved his character to the village entrance, standing before the scarecrow, and used the Omniscient Crystal on it.

A prompt popped up.

[Scarecrow (Deer Eater), No attributes, Fixed Building Category Villager, Cannot Move...]

"It really is him!"

The true name reveal provided by the Omniscient Crystal had indeed proved useful. Now Mu You could confirm without a doubt.

Much to his surprise, the scarecrow in the game actually initiated a conversation with him upon seeing him approach!

[A new adventurer, what would you like to know? As long as you’re willing to pay with life span, I’ll share all I know about this village!]

Mu You frowned at this premade greeting. At this moment, the werewolf was right under their noses; there was no way he could be operating the game.

That being said, these Fixed Building Category NPCs could still interact with others autonomously even when the player was offline?

Shaking his head, Mu You decided this wasn’t important. He opened the magic panel and chose the ’Small Fireball Technique’.

[You want to launch the Small Fireball Technique at the scarecrow! Please note, the scarecrow will be permanently destroyed once it dies and cannot be repaired. Do you wish to continue the attack on the scarecrow?]

Permanently destroyed?

Mu You was taken aback. Did that mean that the scarecrow’s skin could not be revived?

After a moment’s consideration, he reached into his pocket and held onto his pocket watch, before clicking on ’Yes’.

[You have launched the roaring Fireball Technique at the scarecrow. The scarecrow burst into flames under your black magic and disintegrated nearly instantaneously.]

[You have killed the scarecrow (Deer Eater) and stolen one year of its lifespan. Lifespan +1, Remaining Lifespan: 150 years.]

After the kill, Mu You immediately clicked on the scarecrow’s text again, prompting another pop-up.

[The scarecrow has been permanently damaged. Only a scarecrow stand remains at its original place. Anning Village will no longer have a scarecrow.]

"I see."

Mu You began to understand. The scarecrow’s skin was indeed special. For these Fixed Building Category skins, once they were killed, they were permanently destroyed.

Unless he killed all of the scarecrow’s life in one go, the werewolf would only lose the scarecrow’s skin and a year of life if the scarecrow died, and would not suffer a significant loss.

But that was not a problem.

Mu You rewound time, returning to the moment before he had launched the Small Fireball. He clicked on ’Deadly Spring Water’ in the list of his items. Since he could only kill it once, he might as well use this item that ended the scarecrow’s life in one go!

[You have splashed the Deadly Spring Water onto the scarecrow! The scarecrow disappears entirely in the corrosive water amidst cries of agony.]

[You have killed the scarecrow and taken all its lifespan. Lifespan +354 years, Remaining Lifespan: 503 years.]

After the kill, Mu You noticed that his lifespan had increased by more than three hundred and fifty years. This werewolf was really damn rich!

However, Mu You didn’t have the time to pay attention to this. Shortly after the message popped up, Mu You quickly raised his head to look at the werewolf lying on the ground.

He saw the werewolf frozen in shock, as if he had felt something. About ten seconds later, his expression turned extremely pained. He screamed with his mouth wide open, but no sound came out.

Finally, after enduring some distorted facial expressions caused by pain, the werewolf’s eyes rolled back, the fur on his face and body quickly receded, his face returned to its human shape, his body shrunk slightly, reverting to the appearance of a regular man.

All the magic items on him, except a backpack, turned into flowing light and vanished.

Meanwhile, a new prompt popped up in the game.

[You have searched the place where the scarecrow died and have obtained ’Retractable Claw Chain’, ’Elf Horn (Hidden Relic)’, ’Butcher Wolf Skin’, ’Obsidian Heart Mirror’, ’Lucky Dust (4/5)’, ’Dispersal Powder (2/5)’, ’Curved Blade Long Knife’...]

The length of this prompt was unusually long. It took Mu You several slides to read through the list of various items.

At last count, there were as many as three hundred items gained!

Most of them were materials obtained from monster drops, the actual important magic items were only a few, including the Retractable Claw Chain, Butcher Wolf skin, the two remaining Obsidian Heart Mirrors, two vials of dust, and a hidden relic called the Elf Horn...

Mu You didn’t have time to take a closer look. Once he had confirmed that he had collected all the spoils, he put away his phone, and looked up at the fallen werewolf.

The werewolf’s lifespan in the game had been exhausted, but he did not die immediately. Instead, he reverted to his original appearance, his eyes rolled back, and he fell unconscious.

"What will happen to people who exhaust their lifespan?" Mu You asked, looking towards Lu Yao.

"They will lose all their memories and be stripped of their player identity. Due to the severe shock, they will become imbeciles. However, they will retain a lifespan of one month, and they will die naturally after a month."

While speaking, Lu Yao was constantly tapping on her phone. Suddenly her eyes lit up: "Found it!"

"Found what?" asked Mu You.

"I found this man’s information in the police database!" Lu Yao said, showing her phone to him.

The phone display showed a police wanted notice. The criminal, Liu, had committed seven murders on the border seven years ago. His record was a long list of horrifying crimes. However, he had not been apprehended till date. It never occurred to them that he had been hiding in K-city, living as a regular person.
