Chapter 25.1 Game End (1) (1/2)
Lu Tianyi hadn’t fully processed what had happened, but because of An Qing’s powerful slap, he quickly held onto An Qing and chased after Bai Yan with long furious strides.
Originally, Su Xiaoqian was curious as to why An Qing insisted on lugging around her crutches when she first saw the eldest son. But looking at it now, An Qing really had foresight on the later events of the game. When they desperately ran off, Su Xiaoqian also lifted her maid’s skirt and hurriedly moved forward, not caring at all on what she looked like, fearing that any further delay would result in the ghost easily overtaking her.
After everyone else ran away, the slow-reacting Li Hao finally awoke from his dream-like daze. He eventually noticed the others were nowhere to be found and started sprinting towards the large door.
It was a pity, but in the end, he was a second too slow.
The moment he hesitated, the master and the madam’s severed heads had already rolled to the door’s front and moved around in the pool of blood that gushed out of the eldest son’s lifeless body, using their bitter eyes to attentively stare at him.
Li Hao was terrified of the two heads with openly resentful eyes. He was already behind the others but because he reacted too late, the two headless bodies suddenly snuck up from behind and silently grabbed the base of his neck.
As the ghost’s ice-cold fingers clutched his neck, Li Hao instantly let out a blood-curdling screech. Immediately after, the madam forcefully pulled off his head, his headless body falling on the ground with a thud.
Li Hao’s head was thrown into the air and crashed into the window, giving everybody in the car a full view of his complete hopelessness.
In truth, every time he entered the game, he had always thought about it when they target the NPCs. The NPCs were merely fabricated by the app’s system, so weren’t they the same as them, who had flesh, blood, and emotions like a real person?
The app carelessly threw real human beings into the game. If that’s the case, then where the people inside the game nothing more than just a string of complicated data?
Looking at Lu Tianyi cover his face and droop his head as if he was discouraged, An Qing thought about something and pulled on his sleeve, quietly explaining, “Brother Lu, don’t be sad. Bai Yan didn’t want to make it difficult for the older young master. If he didn’t kill him, then we would have faced something troublesome.”
“Why?”
Knowing that Lu Tianyi still hadn’t been convinced, An Qing kindly explained, “When the master and the madam had recalled their deaths, they already weren’t considered as the villa’s owners. Only one person was still alive in the villa, which was the person who escaped from the cellar, the oldest son. There’s something wrong with the older son’s head. If by chance we didn’t kill him, he may think that we are faceless ghosts and would order us to leave the villa, leading us all to our deaths.”
