Chapter 62: Return (1/2)

“It’s uncomfortable to speak without lips. Give me your mouths!”

The mouthless female ghost let loose an evil cackle as she stretched out half of her body from the toilet door board.

Outside the door, Fang Tongtong pulled open the zipper on her lips, and a large amount of dark blood immediately splattered out, mingling with the scraps of ground meat.

She slowly stretched out her lengthy tongue from her opened mouth, aiming it towards Qin Sibo’s direction.

At this moment, Fang Tongtong’s eyes were completely lifeless, looking like she had already turned into a bitter ghost.

“We were so close to escaping… Why did it turn out like this?”

Qin Sibo’s heart was full of despair from being surrounded by ghosts. The window also had some unknown object blocking its opening, giving him the indication that they had no chance to escape.

He looked at Luo Xing as his last hope but unfortunately found Luo Xing suddenly taking out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and quickly writing on it at lightning speed.

He also thought he could at least save this NPC from doom.

It was due to his carelessness and him not checking the room that this happened. They only rushed inside the women’s restroom that had its sign changed. If he had caught it in the first place, they could have avoided a dead end.

Luo Xing knew that it was because he was far too relaxed.

He had experienced the last ghost story and compared to Bai Yan and Ye Shangyu, he had the largest advantage. Since he was the last to experience his ghost story, he could just fill up the form and escape the game. It was no wonder that the two would shamelessly cheat the lots and wanted to betray him.

At the door, Qin Sibo’s howls of grief came through. Seeing that the president had already crawled through the window, Luo Xing didn’t waste another moment and directly pressed the return button on his phone, finally leaving the place and not looking at Qin Sibo one last time.

Next time, it would be best to leave the NPCs alone.

No matter how much they resembled real people, they were still just a string of data and numbers inside the game.

Once they saw them as real people, they would grieve…

Luo Xing departed, and Qin Sibo was instantly torn to shreds by the three vicious ghosts.

On the other end of the phone, Bai Yan and Ye Shangyu saw that the phone suddenly hung up, so they swiftly started filling up their respective club application forms, not at all slower than Luo Xing’s speed.

When Luo Xing left the beverage shop, they moved places and went to a lodge near the school, renting a room.

During Luo Xing’s time in the study room, he opened his phone from beginning to end.

The two didn’t say anything and just listened in on how Luo Xing dealt with the course of frightening events.

At the end of the ghost story, the two heard that Luo Xing had walked right into a dead-end when charging into the wrongly marked women’s toilet, but they still didn’t try and rescue him.

Not to mention, Luo Xing had the option to simply fill up the form and flee for his life. Even if Luo Xing was truly in a tight spot, they wouldn’t have sacrificed their lives and gone to save him.

The two people saw that their lives were more important than others. When one didn’t harm someone else, then they should thank the heavens. Naturally, Luo Xing never placed his trust in them to begin with.

After Luo Xing left, Bai Yan and Ye Shangyu filled out their form one after another.

Although Luo Xing’s call briefly mentioned the president, the president was not necessarily unable to teleport.

So, the two people didn’t delay and used their fastest writing speed to finish the final details of the ghost story, returning to the real world.

…

The real world.

Bai Yan browsed through the posts in the forum while simultaneously pondering over what Ye Shangyu had told him in the game.

During the game, he had to concentrate on escaping the ghosts, so he didn’t have the time to seriously reflect on it. But, since he had finally returned from the game’s world, he now had more time to think about Ye Shangyu’s meaning.

In any case, he was done flipping through the posts in the forum and had speedily read through the new posts. He truly wasn’t worried.

After thinking about it for two more days, Bai Yan faced a suspicious-looking post in the forum, finally completely understanding what Ye Shangyu wanted to convey, his mood becoming unstable.

Ye Shangyu said that the game’s last world already had no hope.

At that time, he asked Ye Shangyu, and she answered that the last game world’s end would ultimately become a doomsday type of situation.

In an apocalyptic world, aside from asylum, ghosts would wander all around. Humanity was unable to survive outside.

Yet, even with a small number of safe spaces, eventually, the ghosts would assimilate until every living being in the whole world would be slaughtered and completely lose their lives.

Additionally, Ye Shangyu also wanted a particular promise.

Reviving a person needed to be paid by a disastrous cost. That price, could it be that the resurrected person would turn into a ghost?

But, when analyzing Ye Shangyu’s words, a resurrected person ought to have some form of self-awareness.

Concerning the president being a human and turning into a ghost, Bai Yan felt that it was possible that the resurrected person still be a human for a specific time, but after some time had passed, he would become like the president. A human turned ghost, completely losing his humanity.

“It’s the same. Anyway, after I revive him, I’ll kill him myself. Turning or not turning into a ghost would have nothing to do with me… Wait… Being resurrected itself could instill terror onto the person, so should I still stab him or not?”

Originally, Bai Yan prepared to revive Wang Ze, intending to make him happy at first, and during his happiest moment, he’d use a knife to stab him to death. He would then take pleasure in Wang Ze’s stunned expression moments before his death, enjoying the show and letting him know that he had never changed.
