Chapter 26: Controlled Review (1/2)

As Bai Yan returned to the real world, he felt his temperature become abnormally high.

He slowly lowered his head and stared at his clothes. The worn-out butler uniform he wore the past seven days was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he was wearing the clothes he originally wore before the second game started.

At the same time, the bag of tools he brought with him was resting across his chest, good as new and not an item out of place.

Bai Yan remembered that because of his work, he stored his tool kit in the servants’ quarters and didn’t carry it around while he worked. The night the master and the madam recalled their memories of dying and completely transformed into ghosts while losing their heads, he didn’t have the chance to retrieve this bag, only bringing a table knife with him as he ran off.

Then, why was the tool kit still on him?

Also, where was the knife he was carrying around?

Bai Yan’s temperature rose and subtlely came into a daze, observing that his tired body started to become sluggish.

After standing still for a while, he gradually felt more lightheaded as time went on. It seemed that he could pass out at any given moment, so he could forget even thinking about the series of questions he had circling his head.

After a long and deep slumber, Bai Yan was still a bit drowsy when he woke up. He checked the date on his phone and saw that it was already tomorrow afternoon.

Bai Yan quickly touched his head and sensed that the fever had finally subsided.

He then got out of bed to take a shower and made some porridge, drinking it at a calm and steady pace.

As he drank his porridge, he opened the app to browse the new posts in the forum for the past two days.

During the time he was asleep, numerous players had died. There were also a lot of players that published new game strategies for others to read. He lightly skimmed them over all of them until Bai Yan saw a feed entitled, “Second Level Analysis.”

Bai Yan clicked on it and soon realized that the post was explaining about his experiences in the second game.

From the narrator’s perspective, Bai Yan narrowed down to be non-other than An Qing. An Qing told what happened from start to finish and when she typed in her accounts, she referred to the other players as A, B, C, D and didn’t mention everyone’s real name or appearance.

While the two people at the backseat were replaced by the headless ghosts and forced Bai Yan and Su Xiaoqian to jump out of the moving car, An Qing and the other player exchanged places with the master and madam’s and were suddenly transported inside the villa.

After returning to the villa, An Qing and Lu Tianyi, unfortunately, came across the younger master. The disaster started with the younger master’s complete abandonment of his fake identity as he finally revealed himself as a faceless ghost.

Due to the faceless ghost’s tricks, the two couldn’t escape the villa. Even if they did, they would instantly be teleported back inside. In the end, An Qing discovered the older young master’s secret tunnel that was hidden inside his room in the cellar, giving the two people a chance to escape.

Bai Yan looked pensive after reading through An Qing’s post.

In the game, he inadvertently mocked Lu Tianyi for being part of the NPC Protection Society because he was busy driving the car at that time and said it without thinking. But, he too felt that the NPCs were too real.

They could cry, they could laugh. They could even feel scared enough to make a nauseating expression. If this kind of person wasn’t considered a human being, then this world’s people shouldn’t be counted as humans either.
