Lin Xun opened the door and stepped outside.
The moment his feet crossed the threshold, he instinctively turned back to look.
Inside, the candlelight flickered, illuminating the room.
The decorations were lavish, and the scent of sandalwood filled the air, creating an atmosphere devoid of any strange odors.
Yet, Qiu Ju was no longer in the room.
On the dressing table, there was no dust, no envelope, and no Wooden Mirror.
Everything felt as if it had been a dream crafted by Lin Xun.
Though he dared not move at all upon waking.
After closing the door behind him,
the adjacent room belonging to Winter Plum suddenly burst open.
The girl holding a Teacher's Identity Card rushed out, screaming.
As soon as she saw Lin Xun, it was as if she had grasped a lifeline; she clung tightly to him.
"I entered that room and saw a woman.
She was veiled and playing the Gu Zheng; she looked so much like a living person!"
I realized something was wrong and wanted to escape. But the door was firmly locked!
The woman lifted her veil, revealing a mouth that had been torn to the ears.
She asked me, "Am I beautiful?"
At this point, the girl covered her ears tightly, her face and eyes filled with an unbelievable terror...
"The Danmaku in front of me told me that if I said she was beautiful, she would make me just like her.
If I said she wasn't beautiful, she would kill me!"
After saying this, the girl seemed unwilling to recall the scene that had just unfolded.
She covered her mouth tightly.
It was as if she was desperately trying to sense whether her mouth was still there!
Lin Xun gently patted the girl's back, trying to calm her down.
After a few seconds, the girl's breathing finally steadied, and her previously pale face regained a hint of color.
At that moment, Lin Xun spoke up, "So how did you escape?"
The girl opened her right hand towards Lin Xun, revealing a broken red string inside.
"This is the Escape Red Rope I bought at Points Mall. Pulling the red rope can quickly free you from the current scene."
As soon as she finished speaking, the broken red rope in the girl's hand turned to dust and vanished.
Points Mall?
I don’t even have the qualifications to enter...
But how did Points come about?
"Hahaha, the player is questioning life now!"
"A pretty girl is always in demand. The game has only just started, and she’s already managed to buy an Escape Red Rope. Looks like she’s received quite a few gifts!"
"The Anchor is almost questioning life too. The girl has bought an Escape Red Rope, while he hasn’t even had a single gift sent his way; just a bunch of freeloaders!"
At this moment, the girl's mood had calmed down.
She slightly raised her head and looked at Lin Xun, saying, "Has your mall not unlocked the Escape Red Rope yet? Is it because your audience hasn’t been gifting you much?"
Lin Xun shook his head. "No, I have a bunch of wealthy patrons in my Live Broadcast room who are generous with gifts. I just want to save up my Points first."
"You sure know how to talk, Anchor!"
"With eighteen cards, you can instantly reward me with 'Weak Water One Scoop'!"
"I am Hua Tian," the girl introduced herself.
"I am Lin Xun."
"Were you just in Qiu Ju's room?" Hua Tian asked, a hint of fear in her voice.
Lin Xun nodded.
"Did you not encounter anything at all?" Hua Tian pressed further.
At that moment, Lin Xun showed no signs of cold sweat on his face, nor did he appear panicked; there was not a trace of terror in his eyes. He looked just like an ordinary person.
When Hua Tian encountered him, he was standing at the door of Qiu Ju's room.
There were only two possible explanations.
The first explanation was that he had merely stood at the door of Qiu Ju's room and had never entered, which is why he seemed unfazed.
The second explanation was that he had entered, but there was nothing in the room, so he remained calm.
The third explanation was that he had entered and encountered a female ghost inside, but for some unknown reason, he managed to escape her, which is why he appeared untroubled.
"Of course I encountered something. The ghost inside is named Qiu Ju; she is a very emaciated woman with hair down to her ankles, and she has hair growing on her head—only hair. When I met her, she choked me and poked my shoulder," Lin Xun said these words with remarkable calmness.
But the more calmly he spoke, the paler Hua Tian's face became.
Her complexion, which had slightly regained some color, turned as white as a sheet again.
【What the hell, player, why are you scaring the girl?】
【Player, you’re such a jerk! With such a delicate girl in front of you, you only tell ghost stories? Are you even human?】
【Our Model!】
【FFFFFF donated ‘Weak Water One Scoop’ *1】
Lin Xun gently patted Hua Tian's shoulder, helping her adjust her breathing.
Following Lin Xun's rhythmic pats, Hua Tian gradually found her breath, and her complexion improved a bit.
“You encountered a ghost and managed to escape? How did you do it?”
“Based on my Identity Card, I can make some corresponding adjustments. Moreover, everything each ghost says has its own demands.”
For example, when Qiu Ju first encountered Lin Xun, her first words were:
“Gentleman Lin, have you finally accepted my feelings?”
From this statement alone, Lin Xun could conclude that Qiu Ju was not the person he was looking for.
Unfortunately, the progression of the Game must follow its steps.
So when Lin Xun found the letter, the Side Quest advanced just a little.
From this statement, Lin Xun inferred that Qiu Ju had an interest in him.
It was this realization that gave him the courage to carry out a series of bold actions afterward.
If Qiu Ju had said something more serious at that moment, Lin Xun's subsequent actions would have felt more distant.
"You see, the Rift-Mouth Diva you encounter has demands that are problematic, but no matter which question you answer, the outcome will ultimately be the same."
"Are you saying I shouldn't answer at all?"
"According to Game logic, not answering will also lead to death."
Hua Tian remained silent.
"But there is a way to resolve it."
A serious expression appeared on Hua Tian's face as she listened intently.
"The Rift-Mouth Diva's demands are questions, which means you can ask her questions in return."
"Are you saying that I can rely on asking her questions to break through this predicament? For example, can I ask her what shade of lipstick I have on my lips?"
Lin Xun stared at Hua Tian's jelly-like cherry blossom lips, remaining silent for a long time.
"That question probably won't work. It's only related to you and has nothing to do with the ghost," he replied.
Lin Xun shifted his gaze from Hua Tian's lips back to her face.
At that moment, the terrifying expression on Hua Tian's face had diminished significantly.
When a person is deeply focused on something, their feelings of fear tend to fade away considerably.
"So what should I ask her?" Hua Tian inquired sincerely.
Lin Xun glanced at the number of viewers in his live broadcast room.
The viewer count had been fluctuating between single and double digits.
However, after Hua Tian appeared on screen, it unexpectedly surged into the triple digits.
Clearing his throat, he said casually, "You can ask her if she thinks she's beautiful."
