Chapter 25.2 Game End (2) (1/2)

The master and madam sat inside the car with their heads resting on their thighs. Through Bai Yan’s careful surveillance, the headless bodies had lifted their deathly pale hands and were slowly inching towards their necks.

How could this be?

When did An Qing and Lu Tianyi disappear?

For how long have these headless bodies been sitting at the back of the car?

These series of urgent questions made Bai Yan’s heart feel numb. He abruptly stepped on the brakes and the sudden halt made Su Xiaoqian dizzy, her whole body moving leaning forward from the strong force.

“Bai Yan, why didn’t you warn me that you would be stepping on the brakes?”

“Look at the backseats, are the people sitting behind us still people?”

The car still hadn’t fully stopped, but Bai Yan got off the car by recklessly jumping out.

“What happened back there? When did An Qing and Lu Tianyi disappear?” Su Xiaoqian finally reached his side and asked while gasping for air, “Those two ghosts, when did they get in the car?”

“I don’t know either. Anyway, as soon as I saw them, I stepped on the brakes.” Bai Yan shook his head from not knowing. As he and Su Xiaoqian slowly walked along the road, they talked about what had taken place inside the car, “The villa’s faceless ghost had the ability to manipulate memories and control dead bodies. Today is the last day of the game. The game’s forum said that as time passes by, the game’s restrictions on the ghosts were weaker, making the ghosts become bigger threats than ever before.”

“That too.” Su Xiaoqian accidentally stepped into a big puddle and walked through the rain with great difficulty, “The master and the madam had already recalled their tragic deaths. Now, we have to deal with three ghosts instead of one. Without a doubt, it won’t be easy– Wait a minute, there’s someone ahead.”

Bai Yan slowly raised his head and followed the direction where Su Xiaoqian was pointing to. At the distant curb, there awaited a normal-looking man with an umbrella, standing beside an illuminating streetlight near a tree.

Behind the tree was a bus sign. This person was standing in the middle of the pouring rain just to wait for a bus.

The street lamp’s white light playfully mixed with the tree’s lush green leaves, giving the still person an inexplicable layer of a sickly green color, making him look horrifying.

Seeing this quiet and peaceful scene, Su Xiaoqian hesitantly asked, “Bai Yan, should we go over there and ask for directions? I feel that the rain wouldn’t be stopping any time soon. We’re unfamiliar with this place, so we can ask that person and find a place to take shelter from the rain.”

“Okay.” Bai Yan meekly replied. In truth, he couldn’t clearly see the person she was talking about, being so far away. He could only discern the person’s outline and that he carried an umbrella to take cover from the rain. After a few strong gusts of wind, the person seemed normal.

Of course, there was also a chance that his eyesight was extremely poor. So much so, that he saw an illusion in the middle of the downpour.

“Okay. Let’s go there, but if ever he is a ghost, what do we do in this dead of night? Thinking about it, it’s very suspicious.”

Su Xiaoqian had read dozens of forum posts. She knew that the game’s setting was huge. Apart from the ghosts, the NPC’s lives in the game’s world were no different from that of a regular person’s.

She now understood the shady circumstances. Even though it was originally her idea to ask the person for directions, given the incident with the two ghosts in the car earlier, she still felt terrified, “Thinking about it more, it does seem suspicious. How about we don’t go there anymore.”

“If he’s really a ghost, even if we don’t go over there, he still won’t let us go easily.” Bai Yan said as he wiped away the splashes of water on his face, his head slightly throbbing, “Let’s go and assess the situation first. If there are any problems, it would be best for us to take it on now.”

“En, I agree.”

The two reached a unanimous decision and slowly walked towards the street lamp’s direction.

When they were halfway through their destination, the person moved and mysteriously walked behind the tree. As they walked closer, they only saw half of the person’s umbrella under the tree’s leaves.

With the bus sign being too far and the two people’s sluggish pace, the two almost reached the sign after a long time.

They were only a dozen steps away when a powerful gust of wind suddenly overturned the stranger’s umbrella.

The person strongly clung to his umbrella, but both of them already saw the large chilly raindrops land on the bare and headless neck, making their hearts turn cold.

That man had no head.

No head.

Taking a closer look, aren’t the clothes he was wearing similar to what the master usually wears?

“F*ck! These ghosts never go away.”

Su Xiaoqian cursed under her breath. This time, she learned from experience. In a split second, she turned her head and ran towards the opposite direction, leaving Bai Yan behind.
