MMP in my heart!
What kind of nonsense is this? Is there really a double standard when it comes to ghosts?
Do ghosts need a reason to kill?
But she could only listen.
Whether living or dead, there are standards to uphold; there are procedures to follow. If the process isn’t completed, one cannot feast on human flesh.
That’s the rule!
She could only cautiously say, “Shh… don’t speak…”
“Why are you still talking? Didn’t I say that things shouldn’t happen more than three times? There can’t be a third time!”
Uncle can endure, but Aunt cannot.
What’s unbearable is no longer tolerable!
A stunned expression transformed into a sinister smile on the face of the Underbed Ghost.
This time, as she laughed, countless tiny black dots began to sprout on her once pure and flawless face, resembling sesame seeds.
Those dense little dots settled on her face and kept growing, growing…
As the little black dots expanded, they morphed into countless smiling faces of the Underbed Ghost…
“Damn it! You’ve pushed me to this!”
Lin Xun had seen countless types of ghosts, but there was one kind he simply could not tolerate!
With his fear of clusters, Lin Xun shouted at the Underbed Ghost.
He supported himself with both hands and feet, using the strength of his waist to push upward continuously.
The bed above them, though made of inexpensive wood, was crafted from solid timber.
It weighed at least several dozen pounds.
Lin Xun had been a screenwriter for many years, sitting in front of the computer every day, and had long become a weakling who couldn't lift a shoulder or carry anything heavy.
He thought about lifting the bed; relying solely on his hands would be difficult.
Since his hands couldn't do it, he had to rely on the strength of his back!
The strength of the back was a man's dignity; he could not admit defeat!
Like a powerful Jack, Lin Xun managed to flip the Wooden Bed.
He stood up from the ground and looked at the bewildered Underbed Ghost, calmly saying, "The bed is gone; why aren't you disappearing?"
Is this really possible?
The Underbed Ghost wore an unwilling expression, her pale face showing signs of resentment.
But no matter how unwilling she was, it was of no use.
Rules were rules!
With a cold huff, she glided toward the shadow in the corner of the wall, finally disappearing from Lin Xun's sight.
In that instant, the white hand that had covered Hua Tian also vanished.
Lin Xun helped Hua Tian up from the ground.
He noticed that Hua Tian's face was pale, muttering to himself with conviction.
"To take pride in loving the motherland, and to be ashamed of harming it. To take pride in serving the people, and to be ashamed of betraying them. To take pride in valuing science, and to be ashamed of ignorance..."
What a good young man who loves his country...
Lin Xun gently patted Hua Tian's cheek.
"Wake up..."
Hua Tian then took a deep breath, as if coming back to his senses.
"It's okay now," Lin Xun said.
Hua Tian tightly grasped Lin Xun's arm. "The Underbed Ghost we just saw..."
"It ran away."
"What about those two ghostly feet in front of the bed..."
Lin Xun scratched his head. "I guess they weren't ghosts. They were probably some kind of illusion."
After all, the spirits they encountered at the Haunted Brothel were mostly solid and tangible.
Those two feet just now were semi-transparent, not resembling traditional ghosts at all.
Moreover, whenever Gui Wu appeared, there would usually be a System Prompt.
But those two ghostly feet had none.
"That recent illusion, I suppose it must be some sort of past memory..."
[Main Quest Updated: Find the Lost Item (Completed) (Current Main Quest Progress 18%)]
[As the first player to complete the Main Quest, the System will provide a special notification.]
[Notification: The Smiling, Proud Wanderer and Xiao Qing.]
[System Prompt: Entering Free Time Soon.]
Is that it for completing the Main Quest?
Could it be that finding the Lost Item is merely an illusion?
This game truly is unpredictable.
Who would have thought that what was considered a part of the Main Quest isn't an animal or an object, but rather an illusion?
And it seems you have to crawl under the bed to trigger this illusion.
Otherwise, other players would have discovered it by now.
"If only I could know who the owner of those feet is..." Lin Xun murmured.
If they could see who the owner of the feet was without crawling under the bed...
But if they didn't crawl under, they wouldn't trigger the storyline at all.
[Players really have incredible luck, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.]
[Always relying on clever tricks to get through, it's really boring!]
"Player, go outside the BOSS room and draw a Surprise Box. I'll summon the King of Hell for you!"
"Damn! What do we do if we encounter a player like that?"
"Please let me not run into such players! Amitabha!"
"You're crazy! Do you think saying Amitabha will help?"
...
Meanwhile, Xie Tengfei's team also received a System Prompt.
"Old Xie, someone actually completed the task before us..."
Naturally, Xie Tengfei's team was also working hard to complete their mission.
Their approach was rather straightforward and forceful.
Since they couldn't guess what the task clues were, they decided to search through all the rooms.
Entering a room alone would be very dangerous.
But entering as a group would significantly reduce the risk.
And indeed, things turned out as he had expected.
Aside from losing one teammate in the Changing Room, the remaining five had not suffered any harm.
At that moment, Qiu Ning cautiously spoke up, "Old Xie... should we go back to rescue Yuan Hua..."
Yuan Hua was the name of the teammate who had been captured by Kui Gui.
Xie Tengfei looked at Qiu Ning with evident annoyance.
But the next moment, he wore a bright smile. "Qiu Ning, this is the Death Game. In the Death Game, sacrifices are inevitable. We all need to be prepared for sacrifice, including myself."
The implication was clear: Yuan Hua's sacrifice was necessary.
Qiu Ning bit her lip. "But Old Xie, Yuan Hua... he's still alive!"
In the Game, if a death occurred, the System would announce it.
Yet until now, the System had not reported any casualties.
This meant that Yuan Hua, captured by Kui Gui, was still alive!
"What difference does it make whether he's alive or dead right now? Kui Gui loves to torment men. Even if you rescue him now, he would be nothing but a useless wreck!"
Moreover, Yuan Hua's profession was merely that of a fisherman; it wasn't a high-level occupation and held no value in the Game!
"But..."
Qiu Ning wanted to say more.
However, she felt someone gently pat her shoulder, signaling her to stop.
Turning around, she saw Lu Ming's face.
"Mr. Lu..." Qiu Ning appeared quite aggrieved.
Lu Ming shook his head. "You can't convince him."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Qiu Ning's eyes, mingled with resentment...
“Lu Ming!” Xie Tengfei waved at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming had joined their team halfway through.
At first, some members of the team expressed their doubts.
However, his strength later dispelled everyone's concerns.
Lu Ming walked to the front of the team and asked, “What do you need, Old Xie?”
“Who do you think completed the Main Quest?”
Xie Tengfei clearly wanted to bring this person into their fold.
Lu Ming had a vague idea in his mind.
But his answer was, “I don’t know. There are 13 people still alive in the Game; aside from us, there are seven others, and any one of them could be the one who completed the Main Quest.”
“I’ve participated in the Game twice, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone complete the Main Quest so quickly. This person… should not be underestimated…”
From Xie Tengfei's words, it was evident that he was somewhat displeased with the rapid progression of the Main Quest.
But why?
