Chapter 429 - Psychological Barrier

“You can continue, I will leave to join the other group!” The scared player ran back toward the exit. It seemed that listening to the ghost story had exceeded his tolerance threshold.

This scared player’s name was Sun Chao. He is 17 years old boy, not mature enough to be called a man yet. He had moments when he was courageous and others when he was a coward.

“What a disappointing person! You can continue now!” Ana rushed Star Yu.

“So I decided to head back the way I came. At least, I tried to. I walked and walked. Passing from one room to another. I recalled the room I was sleeping in, but after a dozen rooms I still couldn’t find it. The more rooms I ran through, the more impatient I got. I had to stop to catch my breath. I leaned on what I thought was the wall. When I shone my light on it, I realized that it was the very same wardrobe I had been running away from! Then slight vibrations from a knocking sound were coming from within. At that point, I passed out…” Star Yu’s pale face showed how frightened he was.

“What must have happened the next morning was that you discover it was just a dream when you woke up next to your friend! Am I right? What a boring farce of a story!” Ana Lucia interrupted Star Yu for the ending.

“Nope. The next morning, I woke up within that wardrobe. It was dark and I felt a presence. When I opened my eyes, I was staring into the bloody eyes of a ghost woman wearing white garments… I was caught off guard and peed in my pants,” Star Yu shook his head in embarrassment.

“Hahahaha… you peed in your pants! That’s so funny!” Ana Lucia continued to bully Star Yu.

“You guys won’t understand how I felt. It was very terrifying! It felt so real! If you were me, you would pee too!” Star Yu shook his head in disagreement. He didn't feel that he was cowardly during that time. It was just that everything happened so suddenly.

“Bullshit! I won’t pee myself! You must have been pranked by your friend. He shoved you in the wardrobe. He wanted to scare you! Only cowards like you would get scared by those tricks!” Ana Lucia conjured up an explanation.

“Definitely not. After that night, my friend went missing. In the police investigation, they doubted my statement. They suspected that I had murdered my friend and gotten rid of his body in the wilderness. After half a year of fruitless investigations, the police changed it from a murder case to a missing persons case. They still have no conclusive evidence about what happened,” Star Yu frowned.

“They ended the case with just that? No way? That's such an inconclusive ending!” Ana Lucia shouted loudly to show that she refused to accept that ending.

“It isn't an inconclusive ending! Later in the year, I received a call from my missing friend…” Star Yu continued with his story.

“Oh? What did he say to you?” Ana Lucia suddenly got interested.

“He told me that he is playing a game - ‘The Trembling World’. He says that it is very fun and I should join him…” Star Yu shook his head, with a saddened look.
