Chapter 503 - All Xiao Bu (2/2)
“When I was controlling Xiao Bu, suddenly a chat box appeared at the bottom of the screen. ‘Xiao Bu feels like someone is watching her. The eyes are like that of a beast, a hungry beast that wants to swallow her whole.’
“Clicking the window made the chat disappear. A middle-aged man wandered out from the neighborhood. He looked unkempt and rather drunk. After the man got close to Xiao Bu, the window appeared again. ‘The man is coming over. He is holding a beer bottle, and there is a blood stain on his pants.’
“I controlled Xiao Bu to avoid the drunk, but the drunk chased after her. With no other choice, I controlled Xiao Bu to run. Even after running around the neighborhood, the drunk was still following behind her. In the end, I remembered perhaps the most dangerous place is the safest place, so I made the decision to run into the neighborhood.
“The drunk wandered around the entrance. Suddenly, a different girl appeared from inside the building. She seemed to be very afraid of drunken man as well. She jogged past the man, but the man’s mind seemed to be consumed by alcohol, and he hounded the girl relentlessly.
“Several minutes later, the drunk dragged the girl back into the building and slithered down one of the corridors.
“Then, another option appeared on screen, whether or not to follow the drunken man into the corridor.
“I wanted to save the girl, so I chose to follow. However, what happened next was really hard to accept.” Fan Chong could barely continue. “I controlled Xiao Bu to follow the man into the corridor to Room 104, and another sentence showed up—’You saw with your own eyes that Xiao Bu was made into a clay sculpture. Your body is frozen in fear.’”
“Xiao Bu?”
“Yes, all the victims in the game seem to share the name, Xiao Bu.”
“Understood, then what happened next?”
“The damn game keeps trying to challenge the player’s humanity. I could only see as the drunken man closed in on Xiao Bu, and then the screen said—’Xiao Bu felt the cement solidify her body, and she was changed into the artist’s newest creation.’”
Fan Chong paused, and he raised his head. His eyes were red. “After the previous experience, after Xiao Bu’s death was announced, I went online to search the news. As I expected, on 11th October last year, in Room 104 of a certain building on Li Wan City’s West Street, a strange art piece was discovered! The killer was apprehended. However, the police did not catch the artist but the owner of Room 104, the landlord.”
“They got the wrong person?”
“At least that’s what the game said. I tried to go anonymous to reflect on this online, but there was no response.” Fan Chong had a sad face. He still had things that he had not gone through.
“Two murders already… too many things are involved in this.” The more he listened, the more Chen Ge felt this game was different.
