Chapter 6: Be Yourself (2/2)

Seeing Wang Ze intending to move towards her, Chu Fu’s fright seeped out of her body through cold sweat. She couldn’t help but drag the chair more and more to the right, trying to distance herself from ‘Wang Ze.’

After playing the game muddle-headed, Chu Fu at long last was illuminated. This little brother at her side was not someone who tried to be on good terms with everyone but was one hundred percent a mental case!

What ‘Ever since I entered the game, I didn’t find you pleasing to the eye, so I plotted to have you killed early on’, peh peh. (T/N: words of spitting) Could a normal person say those things?

Moreover, this little brother’s skin was deadly pale as though he was a ghost. Before, she didn’t pay much attention, but looking at it now, this person was a lot more terrifying than ghosts!

Chu Fu curled into a ball, feeling that if ghosts were to unexpectedly appear, it would still be better than being alone with this person in the room.

Right now, she was more afraid of another matter.

‘Wang Ze’ already dug a hole for the middle-aged man to die in, then what about her? How could she guarantee whether the information ‘Wang Ze’ had told her before was true?

Perhaps eating the food was the correct way to clear the level and if she didn’t heed it, the next person to be killed was her!

Only 10 seconds remained on the clock with not much time to think.

Chu Fu wanted to cry but lacked the tears. She could only tremble in fear as she pressed the piece onto the puzzle. In her heart, she prayed that she wouldn’t have bad luck to have the starving ghost in the puzzle eat her or have the unhinged little brother beside her, killing her with ease.

In reality, Chu Fu was just overthinking.

By the time she placed the final piece on the puzzle, Bai Yan also did the same. He was too preoccupied with the ghost on his puzzle, so where would he have time for her?

In the last five seconds, after Bai Yan completed the puzzle, as expected, he saw a woman that wore only a thin layer of clothes.

Just like the two previous unfortunate people that had died, the ghost in his puzzle had also come out.

The woman was the mother of the family and there was a high probability that she died through drowning.

The female ghost appeared behind Bai Yan, placing her ice-cold hand on Bai Yan’s shoulder. Bai Yan turned his head back and realized that the female ghost’s lips were moving.

Based on the ghost’s mouth, he repeated what the ghost had wanted to say, word by word.

The female ghost incessantly repeated those two words, saying, “It’s so cold.”

Before half a minute had even passed, the female ghost’s hand had already made its way to Bai Yan’s neck. The female ghost’s fingernails were covered by soft blisters, but they remained sharp. Bai Yan could feel them scratching his neck as though it wanted to peel his skin off and wear it to keep itself warm.

Upon seeing this situation, Bai Yan held his phone in one hand while quickly passing the woman’s clothes in the other as if instructing it to put them on.

Touching the familiar clothes, the female ghost’s hand on Bai Yan’s neck paused for a moment and finally let go.

It gradually took the clothes Bai Yan offered, slowly wearing them on itself.

She put on layer after layer, but her lips did not stop moving.

Additionally, Bai Yan found something even more disturbing. As it wore more clothes, the female ghost’s movements became faster and faster. He glanced at the time. At this speed, the female ghost would have put on all these clothes, including the ones inside the closet, within 5 minutes. When there were no more clothes left and time was already up, what could he do?

The mother had a lot of maternal love, but he didn’t want to live with this family of four.

What if, when the time calls for it, should he also take off his clothes?

Bai Yan secretly pondered to himself.

In order not to lag in handing over the clothes and inciting the female ghost to attack, Bai Yan had already taken out the remaining clothes and led the female ghost to stand beside the wardrobe.

After solving the puzzle, leaving your seat was allowed. So, he left his chair without any consequences.

His movements of handing over the clothes inside the wardrobe, was akin to a machine, not needing to think. So, while he was handing the clothes to the female ghost, Bai Yan paid attention to Chu Fu out of the corner of his eyes.

Just like him, Chu Fu’s circumstances at her side were also far from good.

The bag of snacks she grabbed earlier was finished by the starving ghost. Fortunately, the starving ghost’s appetite was big and it wasn’t picky about the quality. So, Chu Fu fed the ghost rotten food from the food table as well.

However, just like his situation, the starving ghost became faster and faster at eating and soon, the food on the table was going to be cleared.

When all of the food was gone, what would the father, who was reincarnated into a starving ghost, eat next?

There was no need to think about this question because Bai Yan already knew the answer.

The author has something to say:

The middle-aged man’s puzzle was the easiest. As long as he left the chair before finishing the puzzle, he could have cleared the game. After all, this was the newbie easy mode of the game. There is still the ordinary, difficult, and hell modes after, so the easy mode should’ve been extremely easy to clear. However, the main character is too wicked. He didn’t tell the others about the clues he had found…

Writing this kind of protagonist challenged my conscience deeply but it was also unexpectedly delightful~
