Chapter 11 (1/2)

Xiao Tangqiu turned pale, his stomach queasy from watching a man burn to death right in front of his eyes. But he still managed to maintain a calm demeanor. Lu Xiaotao had already started vomiting by the side.

The calmest person amongst them was of course Luo Mansu; he seemed to have gotten used to seeing such a thing. He looked the corpse up and down and said, “He’s dead; died the same way as the other guy.”

“Why?” Tang Mianmian’s face was pale with horror, “Why did they die? What’s the trigger condition?”

Xiao Tangqiu was also wondering the same thing. As live streamers for horror games, they were used to this train of thought. Since Zeng Jinping had reached the BE, he must have triggered one of the death conditions…….. Then, what is the death condition?

“Why?” Luo Mansu laughed coldly, “Why must there be a reason? This place is haunted. What reason does a ghost need to hurt someone? Don’t tell me you want to reason with a ghost?”

Tang Mianmian was left speechless. Yang Bing carefully asked, “What should we do with the body?”

“We don’t need to do anything. It’ll be gone by tomorrow,” Luo Mansu’s sounded uninterested. “Didn’t you guys notice that the other body has…….. disappeared?

Nobody wanted to say anything. Finally, Xiao Tangqiu asked, “Should we check if there’s really something in the well?”

Luo Mansu asked, “Who’s going to go check? Didn’t you see what happened to him?”

Xiao Tangqiu laughed dryly, “Forget it then. Should we talk to the village chief?”

Luo Mansu nodded; the others didn’t have any objections either. As they were about set off to look for the village chief, Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t resist turning around to look at the well.

There was a red figure crouching beside the well.

Xiao Tangqiu screamed in surprise, giving Tang Mianmian a shock, “What’s wrong?”

“There’s someone!” Xiao Tangqiu exclaimed.

“There’s someone there?” Tang Mianmian turned his head and asked in confusion.

“Older brother Luo!” The twins immediately greeted Luo Mansu upon seeing him, but only got a cold response in return.

Lu Xiaotao laughed bitterly, “Every time we speak to the village chief, he repeats the same sentence over and over again, just like an NPC in a game.”

Xiao Tangqiu contemplated for a second, then removed the handkerchief from his pocket. He waved it at the village chief, “Village Chief, do you recognize this?”

The village chief raised his glazed eyes. As soon as he saw the handkerchief, he emotions were like a stagnant pool of water that started to bubble and boil. He agitatedly cried out, “This…… this…….. this handkerchief!”

“Do you know who this handkerchief belongs to?” Xiao Tangqiu knew he was onto something.

“No! I don’t know anything! I don’t know anything!” The village chief wanted to walk away but Luo Mansu pushed him back onto his seat.

Luo Mansu eyed the village chief, flashing a sly smile, “Village Chief, I think it’s better for you to start talking. Or else, we’ll throw you into the well!”

“The well! The well!” The village chief started to twitch violently, as if he was going through an epileptic episode. Xiao Tangqiu was worried he would start to thrash about. Fortunately, the village chief regained his calm. Rather, it was this sort of eerie calmness that resembled the stillness of death.

“Fang Lan….. Fang Lan….. Fang Lan must be back!” The village chief’s glazed eyes turned red and teary. “She’s back for revenge! We’re all going to die!”

“Fang Lan?” Xiao Tangqiu frowned, “Who is she?”
