Chapter 72 - Ghost’s Bride (8) (2/2)

“I suspect the Li family probably did something, kidnapped my cousin and handed him to Mr. Mu.”

Bai Xi Xing’s expression was dull. His voice was cold like ice.

“The size of this organisation isn’t small. Their methods of doing things are also very ruthless and clean. They seemed to have a special means of erasing all traces of their actions, and their employers are all very tight lipped. It is very difficult finding a breakthrough.”

“My people also took great risks in order to find out about the organisation.”

“We were able to get this information firstly because Mr. Mu seemed to have only just started doing it six years ago, so he was still very new and didn’t manage to clean things up after him well enough.”

“And secondly, because Mr. Mu’s whereabouts have been unclear for the past year or two, internal conflict arose within the organisation. This allowed my people to have the opportunity to investigate. But even if there was conflict, the organisation was still very secretive. It was difficult to investigate any deeper.”

“So, I went to find him.”

The handsome young man crossed his arms and looked down at the old man on the ground coldly.

Cheng Zhi Chu heard this and was shocked. He could acutely tell that this organisation, or at least Mr. Mu, must be a player in the game. They had brought out the cursed items and items from inside the game and were using them in reality, allowing them to make huge profits and even kill humans indiscriminately.

Apart from the dangerous cursed items and weapons, “Infinite Escape” doesn’t limit a player’s ability to use game items in reality. They only emphasized that that others shouldn’t know of the existence of the game.

However, most players would choose not to use the items. The items were mainly used to fight ghosts and they would not be of use in reality. Not to mention, they are very expensive. If they wanted to use them to preserve their lives in the game, they naturally wouldn’t waste it in reality.

After the establishment of “Ultimate Alliance”, president Shen Zhou —–That is, Gu Zhen, ——established a few rules including the fact that players should not use the items in reality. Those who are members of the alliance or those who wish to be members of the alliance were required to strictly follow those rules.

The influence of the alliance was significant. Many players became reluctant to use items in reality, especially since they can potentially put others’ lives in danger and likely be hunted down by members of the alliance.

Cheng Zhi Chu did not hear of Mr. Mu in the forum. But, in retrospect, it really was the case. Although various forums have mentioned the founding time of the forum, they didn’t specifically mention the name of the founder. It was probably because Mr. Mu had deliberately hidden it.

Mr. Mu would hide himself probably because he had done some things in reality that could potentially be linked to his game’s identity. Even his purpose of founding the forum was suspicious. A large part of the members in his organisation were probably roped in through the forum.

But why would Mr. Mu target Bai Yi? If Bai Yi’s disappearance was really related to him and the condition that he had originally proposed to the Li family was to help him take Bai Yi away, what was his purpose of doing that?

Recalling the fact that the silver coin in his backpack was something that Mr. Mu used to own, Cheng Zhi Chu took it out and held it in his hand. He stared at it and asked:

[How much do you know about Mr. Mu? What kind of person is he? What has he done?]

[He is the opposite of you, a very lucky person.]

The coin said.

[For example, if you threw me ten times, the devil’s face will appear ten times to bring you bad luck. For him, he could throw the coin ten times and get the joker side all ten times.]

[Even if I deliberately try to violate his will and try to flip to the devil’s side, accidents would occur like a wind blowing or me bumping into a table that appeared out of nowhere………In short, I would always end up flipping onto the good luck side.]

[It was because of this, although he is very good to me, that I still had to leave him. I don’t like people who are so lucky. In his hands, I am only a slave.]

[So later, I saw you. You are the unluckiest person I have ever seen. I was certain that you would need me, rely on me, but…..]

Having said that, there was strong grievances in the silver coin’s voice.

[I’m in your hands but I’m not even qualified to be a slave…….You don’t even use me!!]

“……….” Cheng Zhi Chu could only respond with silence.

[However, Mr. Mu’s luck wasn’t great initially. His luck was all stolen from others because he has the ability to steal luck and even life.]

[And the way he steals it……..]

[Is to cut off the other person’s head and bury it under his own residence.]

Six years ago, Mr. Mu was not my master. I don’t know whose head he had cut off at that time, but I think your friend probably had excellent luck so Mr. Mu targeted him and cut his head off……..

“Thud———”

Cheng Zhi Chu’s hand trembled violently, and the silver coin fell to the ground.

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 72)

Two years ago, I met a man in the game.

I don’t know his name, but I was certain that he was the man who had killed me in reality six years ago.

But the result of my second encounter with him was my soul completely shattering.
