Chapter 47 - Ghost School (1) (2/2)

What the hell is this?! Isn’t Winter Branch a living human?!

Seeing that terrifying message, Cheng Zhi Chu’s face was covered in cold sweat. A large wave of overwhelming panic attacked him and even his fingertips were trembling.

The person that he had conversed with over all those days, that Winter Branch,was actually a ghost………He even said that he’ll go find him………

No wonder Winter Branch would suddenly appear two years after his disappearance. The real Winter Branch had probably died two years ago and something unknown is now using his account.

Fuck, why does he always encounter these kinds of things?!

Cheng Zhi Chu was terrified. This was even more shocking than seeing a ghost with his own eyes.

He didn’t think that there would actually be a real ghost lurking near him, and he had even conversed with that ghost for many days. Now that he had sent enough messages to the ghost, he had allowed it to go find him!

How would “Winter Branch” come? When will he come?

He said that he is a boss but there wasn’t any indication of an instance being activated. Would he be able to deal with him using his own abilities? What should he do if “Winter Branch” doesn’t have a physical body?

The horror of the unknown brought unprecedented pressure to Cheng Zhi Chu and his face was void of colour. He clumsily threw his phone aside.

But his phone soon vibrated. Recalling “Winter Branch” saying that he would report to him his location, Cheng Zhi Chu didn’t dare read the message. He timidly opened it and was subsequently so shocked that he instantly shot up from his chair.

[Winter Branch: I have already arrived at your school gate.]

Why is he so fast?!

Cheng Zhi Chu felt his scalp go numb, He subconsciously wanted to immediately escape but at this moment his phone screen suddenly turned a blood red and a familiar notification box appeared.

<The cooling session is over. Please select the instance.>

Great! He can enter an instance!!

In the past, when Cheng Zhi Chu realised that he was to enter an instance he would be extremely nervous. However, at this moment in time he could only feel happy and glad about it.

[I want to select “Ghost School”.]

Cheng Zhi Chu immediately reported the name of the instance that he had chosen in advance. He then informed Bai Yi that he was about to enter an instance.

【The player has selected the instance: Ghost School.]

【Level: 22. Difficulty: Expert. Players: 4.]

【You are about to enter “Ghost School”. Countdown of five seconds.]

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Those short seconds felt like eternity for Cheng Zhi Chu. He was only able to relax when the light around him gradually dimmed into darkness. The next moment, he found himself standing in front of a dim streetlight with a dark night sky above. There wasn’t a single star or moon in sight.

Thank goodness I was finally able to enter………..

Cheng Zhi Chu breathed a sigh of relief. He then saw Bai Yi also walk over to the area under to streetlight. That familiar handsome face that had a faint smile made him feel very relieved. He couldn’t help but rush over and hug Bai Yi tightly.

“……..Zhi Chu?”

After a brief moment of being stunned, Bai Yi’s hand immediately rested onto Zhi Chu’s back and he gently patted him a few times. The eyes that looked down at the person in his arms were filled with joy and tenderness.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen? Or……..” His tone was extremely gentle, and it was filled with doting. He gently asked, “Did you miss me?”

Hearing Bai Yi ask this, Cheng Zhi Chu suddenly felt very embarrassed and a little awkward.

He did indeed miss Bai Yi a lot but that wasn’t the reason why he was so excited. It was because he was too scared, and he couldn’t help but seek comfort when he saw Bai Yi.

“Actually, I encountered something very scary…….”

With some embarrassment, Cheng Zhi Chu moved out from Bai Yi’s embrace. When he was about to tell him about what he had encountered, his eyes inadvertently swept over, and he saw his new teammate for this instance. In an instant, he had forgotten about everything that he had wanted to say, and his expression stiffened.

“Cheng Cheng.”

Gu Zhen walked out from the darkness. As he looked at him with deep eyes, he walked gracefully over.

“Turns out ‘Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice’ really is you.” Gu Zhen revealed a small smile. “You use this name for all your games so, after seeing your post, I guessed that you might have also entered the game. Seems like I was right.”

As he said this, he reached out and seemingly wanted to hold onto Cheng Zhi Chu’s wrist: “As I have said, we will meet again. Don’t be scared, I’ll protect you——–”

But his hand was suddenly blocked by someone.

There was not a hint of a smile on Bai Yi’s face. With eyes that are as cold as ice, he asked icily:

“Who are you? What is your relationship with Zhi Chu?”

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 47)

The moment I saw this man, I wanted to kill him.

Apart from Zhou Luo Chen, no one else gave me such a strong sense of disgust ———– This even includes my other selves.

Although I want them all to die, the degree of desire is slightly different. Since Zhou Luo Chen is already dead, let’s made this man the next one.
