Chapter 61 - Ghost School (15) (2/2)

On the floor, there were two additional stains of blood and they now had two less people in their group.

“Wu….wuwu…….”

In the silence, Shen Qi Qi covered her face and started to cry quietly. Perhaps it was because she was scared, perhaps it was because she was glad that she was able to escape from the brink of death, or perhaps it was because she was sympathetic over Su Ling’s experience, but no one moved to comfort her.

“Then we……..we can go now?”

Ou Yang looked at the blood stains on the ground with a look of sadness and grief. In a small voice, he muttered this to himself.

【You have completed the teacher’s class]

【Class has now ended.]

【Competed side task: Attend Class.]

【Obtained reward: ?]

【After completing the instance, the reward will be issued to each player.]

Hearing the systems notifications, Yang Qian Fan couldn’t help but look forward to it. Afterall, rewards following tasks like this are usually very good. Oh, he should remember to drink a bottle of luck potion before the end of the instance so that the reward is even better.

But the instance is still not yet over, and they needed to concentrate on dealing with it. After all, they still have not found the boss.

Yang Qian Fan looked down at his camera. When the bell rang indicating the end of class, he had taken advantage of the chaos to take photos of the ghosts but, including the teacher, those ghosts were not the instance boss.

Although the main task didn’t specifically state that they needed to kill the boss, he and his uncle had entered an instance at its highest difficulty. If they didn’t kill the boss, they would probably not be able to get out without causing a lot of trouble while trying to leave. To be safe, they decided by default that they needed to kill the boss.

So, the boss really is Su Ling? Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to take a photo of him earlier because the instance characters were around.

Yang Qian Fan looked at his camera with some regret. He then looked up at Gu Zhen and asked him what to do next.

“Leave this place first.” Gu Zhen said.

Bai Yi also didn’t care about what Ou Yang and Zhao Xiao Pang thought and walked over to Cheng Zhi Chu. He rubbed his head and said warmly: “Zhi Chu, let’s go.”

“…………..”

Cheng Zhi Chi looked up at him, but his eyes were unfocussed, and his reflection was not reflected in his eyes.

“……….Zhi Chu?”

………….

Cheng Zhi Chu’s consciousness still remained in the illusion of the past.

He watched Su Ling struggle futilely while shedding tears and shouting his name and couldn’t help but feel sad and angry. He wanted to stop this absurd farce, but his hands went through them again and again. No matter what he did, he couldn’t touch him.

Even when Su Ling’s back hit the fence, the fence broke and Su Ling fell off the building, despite knowing that his effort would be in vain, Cheng Zhi Chu still couldn’t help but reach out to try and grab him.

His fingertips went through Su Ling’s clothes.

After a moment, there was the sound of something heavy falling onto the ground and this was followed by loud exclamations and screams. Cheng Zhi Chu stood at the edge of the roof and couldn’t bear to look down.

But at his moment, his back suddenly felt cold. Like he was sticking against ice, he couldn’t help but shiver.

A pair of pale, transparent hands stretched out from behind him and gently embraced him. It then lifted his hand and those long fingers gently rested in his palm.

Cheng Zhi Chu’s eyes widened.

“You are still the same as before.”

“No matter what, you are willing to reach out to me.”

The cold voice of a young man rang out from behind him.

“I didn’t have the opportunity to do this in the past, but now and in the future……..”

“I will hold your hand forever.”

“I hope you won’t let me go.”

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 61)

The me in this instance isn’t the true me. I have not done those kinds of things, but I have to admit that he is like me. Maybe if I am in his position, I would make the same choices as him.

Not only me, the other ‘me’ would do the same.

In order to get Zhi Chu, both them and I will use whatever means we can.

Bai Xi Xing’s Diary (Excerpt)

Hypocritical cousin: The untouchable flower, a literary male god, cold and ruthless

Real cousin: Lame, pervert, stalker, indecisive, practically made with vinegar*, brain speed is 280km/hr and has already thought about how many children he and Cheng Zhi Chu would adopt in the future when he has actually not even held hands with him yet.

*Vinegar= Jealousy
