Chapter 43 - Horror Variety (8) (2/2)
Bloody words appeared on the ground immediately scaring away the young ghosts. They all disappeared through the walls and, in an instant, the room was empty.
[You won the game.]
[According to the agreement, you can all leave here.]
“You’re really going to let us go?
Seeing those bloody words, Cheng Zhi Chu was still a little doubtful. He still remembered the time when “I love you” was written all over the room. It seemed to be filled with madness and twisted emotions, but the ghost had instead done the opposite and calmly said that he could leave.
Was there some conspiracy behind this?
Cheng Zhi Chu was still not reassured. He continued to remain in the same place, but the bloody words did not appear again.
The inside of the room was quiet and only a corpse laid on the ground to prove that the existence of the ghost was not just his imagination. But the ghost had fallen completely silent, like it didn’t want to communicate with Cheng Zhi Chu anymore.
Anyway, he should find Senior Bai and the others first.
Cheng Zhi Chu recalled that the ghost had said that it had kept the others in a room. After searching the rooms one by one, he finally found the injured Xiao Liu and the two other staff members in the study room.
The other three had experienced these strange incidences and were fearing that it had something to do with ghosts. Seeing Cheng Zhi Chu come in and tell them that they can leave now, the three of them simultaneously thought that he must be an amazing exorcist and had managed to save them by eliminating the evil spirits in the villa.
“Master Cheng, thank you. Thank you so much……”
The joy of escaping from death made the three men choke up a little. They desperately shook Cheng Zhi Chu’s hand and called him “Master Cheng”. It made Cheng Zhi Chu feel a little awkward. He immediately tried to explain that he is not an exorcist but the three didn’t seem to believe him
“You can go. When you go downstairs, let Ji Yun Xiao and Senior Bai know that they should go first.”
Seeing that they weren’t willing to change their way of calling him, Cheng Zhi Chu could only change the topic.
“Master is not leaving?” The cameraman asked with amazement, “Why aren’t you going with us?”
“I still have something to do.” Cheng Zhi Chu replied ambiguously, “………Uh, it’s similar to helping the souls here pass on safely.”
“Helping the souls……….You’re too modest! How can you say that you’re not a master!”
The other three looked at him with great respect. Their eyes were filled with awe. It was as if someone amazing had appeared before them.
“…………”
Cheng Zhi Chi’s expression didn’t change but deep inside he was feeling very embarrassed. He wanted to find a hole to hide in. What helping the ghost pass on? He’s clearly going to find the ghost to kiss it……….
But in a way, kissing sounds even more incredible than helping the ghosts pass on………
The three of them left with great gratitude. They even reassured Cheng Zhi Chu that they would find Bai Xi Xing and the others and leave together with them.
After a while, Cheng Zhi Chu heard some voicing coming from downstairs. This was then followed by the sound of footsteps and the front door opening and closing. He stood at the stairs and looked around downstairs to confirm that everyone had safely left the villa.
Now only he himself is left.
Cheng Zhi Chu breathed out. Although he was a little nervous, he felt a lot better than before. Afterall, even if the other party is a ghost, it wouldn’t be as scary as Zhou Luo Chen.
Now Cheng Zhi Chu could pretty much conclude that the ghost is not Zhou Luo Chen. Although the young ghosts here appeared to be afraid of this ghost, they didn’t seem to hold deep rear or resentment towards it. This wasn’t the attitude a child would have towards the murderer responsible for their death.
And this ghost had said that it loves him, and Zhou Luo Chen doesn’t. He was just a pure psychopath that wanted to kill him.
If this isn’t Zhou Luo Chen, then who could this ghost be? Was it a child that was killed by Zhou Luo Chen?
If it wasn’t because Bai Yi and Senior Bai were still alive, he would have guessed that it was probably one of them.
Cheng Zhi Chu fell into thought for a moment, but he had no clue as to who the ghost could be. Fortunately, the main task this time didn’t require him to find out its true identity and just required him to escape from the villa successful and to kiss the boss……….
Wait. Isn’t this a reality instance that he had accidentally run into? But why does he still need to collect the boss photo? Could it be that this actually wasn’t a coincidence and that he was destined to take part in this reality instance from the very beginning?
【You’ve noticed.]
The system that had not appeared for a long time spoke up: 【Although the chances of a player activating a reality instance is extremely low and almost impossible, for you it is inevitable. That’s right, there are reality instances that you need to do to collect boss photos and there are not only one of them.]
Cheng Zhi Chu’s expression changed: [Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?!] At least he would be able to mentally prepare himself in advance.
【Hey, I didn’t mean to do it. It was because I also wasn’t sure if you needed to clear reality instances to collect bosses. I just know that, if one exists, there would definitely be more of it but I am also not certain about the exact amount.]
The system chattered: 【 Forget it. Continue to do what you can. In the end you will still need to collect them so it doesn’t matter.]
It matters!!
Cheng Zhi Chu cursed internally. Thinking that life wouldn’t be peaceful even when he returns to reality made his future appear very bleak. He just wanted to dig a hole and bury himself instead.
But this was just a random thought of his. Afterall, he obviously didn’t want to die. Right now, the most important task for him is to clear this instance.
[Why aren’t you leaving?]
When Cheng Zhi Chu communicated with the system, he didn’t need to speak out loud, so he looked like he was just standing there in daze. Perhaps because he was standing there for a long time, bloody red words again appeared on the wall and it also gave off a hint of coldness.
“I want to see you.”
Seeing those bloody words appear, Cheng Zhi Chu said: “Let me see what you look like.”
The bloody words didn’t change, nor did it fade. It seemed like the ghost was a little surprised.
“Didn’t you say that you love me? Since I was young, I have never been confessed to before. I am very moved.” Cheng Zhi Chu spoke nonsensically, “So before I leave, I want to see you.”
This time the ghost finally responded.
[I won’t see you. Hurry and leave.]
“Earlier you even said that you love me but now you’re driving me away?”
Seeing that the ghost didn’t want to see him, Cheng Zhi Chu felt a little anxious. He raised his tone slightly and spoke without a thought: “If you love me, you will come out and see me. Otherwise, you don’t actually love me!”
The words on the wall suddenly disappeared.
Cheng Zhi Chu waited for a long time, but he still didn’t see the ghost.
“………..”
Finally, he came to a conclusion.
…….He seemed to have scared away the ghost.

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 43)
After being brought out of the villa by his parents, because he had gone through so much stimulation, Zhi Chu fell very sick. When he woke up again, he had forgotten everything that he had experienced in C City and he didn’t have any memory of me and that man.
This is also good.
It is for the best that he forgets those things.

Bai Xi Xing’s Diary (Excerpt)
That child called Cheng Zhi Chu forgot about his experience being kidnapped by Zhou Luo Chen. This is a good thing.
It’s just that when my cousin found out that Cheng Zhi Chu no longer remembered him, he was depressed for a whole month.
I told him that he could start afresh and become acquainted with Cheng Zhi Chu again, but my cousin has not yet put that into action. Based on my analysis, I think he is scared.
He was even able to kill Zhou Luo Chen, yet he’s too afraid to meet Cheng Zhi Chu.
……….I don’t know what to say about him.
