Chapter 42: Ghost Hands (Catching Insects)
“Pretty lady, don’t give up. You can do it. We’ve already walked through half of the path, if we walk for five minutes more, then you can leave.” The kind-hearted guide tried to convince her, “Wouldn’t it be such a waste to give up in the middle of it? Don’t be scared, I’ll always be in front of you, so nothing’s going to happen.”
Due to the guide’s and Wang Ziwen’s continuous coaxing, Xu Xiaojing cried on the ground for half a minute before finally mustering the strength to nod and pull forward. Bai Yan glanced at the time. As of now, the countdown was already down by 30 minutes, while it has been five and a half minutes since they entered the haunted house.
Not considering the time it took for Xu Xiaojing to cry her eyes out, the half of the haunted house’s path roughly took about five minutes of walking to get through. Bai Yan reevaluated the length of this haunted house and committed it to memory, not telling his co-player Su Yize, who appeared to harbor a grudge.
After Xu Xiaojing stood up, the group kept moving forward.
And amid Xu Xiaojing’s frightened cries, all kinds of ghosts came out. 10 minutes passed by in a flash, and it was still a long way to go before everyone could get out of the haunted house.
It was unusual. Why was it this simple to clear the game?
Bai Yan wasn’t the only one who thought of this. Su Yize was also confused.
The game was about to end with only using up 36 minutes of the initial hour and a half allotted to them. After experiencing countless dangerous situations in the game, this extremely suspicious yet simple checkpoint made the two’s bodies turn ice-cold. There was seriously something fishy going on.
The ghost has finally shown itself, so the guide should expose her real identity as well!
