Chapter 70 - Ghost’s Bride (6) (2/2)

Elder Li roared angrily: “Don’t you wrongly accuse others!”

“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry……”

Bai Xi Xing waved his hand. His eyes were still curved, and he pulled out his phone. On it was a photo. He showed Elder Li the photo: “So does that mean that you also don’t recognise this icon?”

Elder Li’s eyes glanced over briefly but the moment he saw the picture, he could no longer maintain his calm state and his expression instantly changed.

Cheng Zhi Chu had also walked over. He looked at the photo in Bai Xi Xing’s phone and his pupils constricted slightly.

It was a black and white skull icon that looked like the game icon of “Infinite Escape”. The only difference was that there was a blood red pattern just underneath it.

Although skull icons are very common, in a situation like this Cheng Zhi Chu couldn’t help but think that it wasn’t just a coincidence.

“You………..” There was a tremor in Elder Li’s voice.

“I am very interested in this icon. Elder Li seemed to be the same.” Bai Xi Xing raised his phone and smiled slightly, “It’s a little inconvenient talking about it here. Would you like to come to my place to have a chat?”

………..

Elder Li followed Bai Xi Xing back to his villa. They walked over to a villa and Bai Xi Xing took out a key to open the door to it.

“Isn’t this the villa that Zhou Luo Chen killed himself in?”

The old man took half a step back and shook his head. He didn’t have any desire to go inside: “The villas next to it are all your family’s, why are you taking me to this accursed villa?”

“Oh, I just forgot to bring along the keys to the other villas.”

There were clearly many more similar shaped keys on the keychain, but Bai Xi Xing spoke with no hint of shame. He spoke casually and proceeded to push open the door. He made an inviting gesture and said: “Please come in——-or, do you want to chat with me here and let everyone hear what we have to say?”

“………”

Elder Li’s face changed slightly. Finally, he gritted his teeth and walked in with Bai Xi Xing.

Cheng Zhi Chu who followed behind them felt his scalp go numb. He was also reluctant to enter. He recalled the horrible experience in the villa and the game of hide and seek with Zhou Luo Chen. Seeing the villa again, he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

However, although this is a villa where someone had passed away in and is considered as a cursed villa, it was actually taken care of very well. The courtyard was serene and quiet, and it was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The beautiful western-style building was also clean and bright. On the surface at least, you couldn’t tell that something horrible had happened.

“Please.” Bai Xi Xi opened the door and invited Elder Li in.

Cheng Zhi Chu was about to follow them in but he suddenly realised that the groom wasn’t moving. Instead, he stood before a cluster of flowers motionlessly and appeared to be looking at the flowers.

“I have an impression.” The groom bent down. His fingers lingered between the flowers and he suddenly dug out a bit of dirt from the ground. “There is something buried here.”

Could it be the grooms head? But why would it be buried under this villa? Did Zhou Luo Chen kill the groom and bury his head under the flowers?

Cheng Zhi Chu’s heart went cold. Hearing the groom’s words, he no longer cared about others seeing a supernatural phenomenon and proceeded to find a small shovel in the corner. Using it, he started to dig up the flowerbed.

His snow-white wedding dress spread across the floor and it was very inconvenient. Cheng Zhi Chu held the dress with one hand and used the other hand to hold the shovel. He dug up the soil and, after a while, he was covered in sweat. The groom quickly took over the shovel, made him stand on the side to rest and started to dig himself.

Cheng Zhi Chu stood under the shade of the tree and watched the groom’s back. If it wasn’t because he had no head and was horrific to look at, the groom’s back was actually quite pleasing to lthe eye. His shoulders were wide, and his slim black suit outlined the smooth muscles on his back. With a pair of long and firm legs, it was a perfect male figure.

And the groom also isn’t too short…….Cheng Zhi Chu was distracted for a moment.

Even if the groom had no head, just his shoulders reached his ear……..If they managed to find the groom’s head, he would be about half a head taller than him. He would probably be around the same height as Bai…….

Cheng Zhi Chu’s heart stopped for a moment. His pupils constricted and a terrible thought flashed through his mind.

The grooms back very closely resembled Bai Yi’s.

No, that’s impossible. This can’t be Bai Yi. Their voices are different. What nonsense is he thinking about? Bai Yi definitely is fine……

He quickly shook his head. He wiped away the cold sweat that had formed across his forehead and his throat moved a little as he suppressed that thought. Just when he was about to look up to see how the groom was going, he heard the groom’s low voice.

“Found it.”

Cheng Zhi Chu walked over and took a look. In addition to the brown soil, there was something white.

It was a white leg bone, as well as a skull.

Sure enough, it was a dead body……..Was this Zhou Luo Chen’s doing?

Because he had prepared himself psychologically, Cheng Zhi Chu wasn’t too shocked by this discovery. He used his hand and dug through the soil a little more before picking up the skull. He held the skull over to the grooms severed neck and compared it but it didn’t match up. It didn’t look like it was the groom’s head.

That’s true……..There’s also a leg bone here. This skull probably belongs to the same owner as the leg bone.

Cheng Zhi Chu was a little disappointed, but he also hoped that they could find more things if they dug around a bit more. Maybe they would even be able to find the groom’s head inside. Just when he was about to get him to continue digging, he suddenly noticed something black in the soil.

He reached out to pick it up and assessed it for a while. He confirmed that the soft black thing was an old tape.

……….Is this the body of the boss from the reality instance?

Cheng Zhi Chu suddenly thought of the ghost that was covered from head to toe in black tape.

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 70)

I don’t know how I entered the game.

When I woke up, I found myself already in an instance. A voice told me that I couldn’t go back to reality unless I cleared the whole game.

Because in reality I am already dead.
