Gamers Are Fierce

As a spiritual body of the new era, Chaichai neither stirs up trouble nor causes it,

spending her days playing games, watching animations, and sipping on milk tea,

taking advantage of her spiritual nature that doesn't require sleep or lead to obesity, she plays after eating and eats after playing, 24/7 non-stop,

occasionally she gets inspiration and goes to add, delete, or modify Chai's Revelation,

making various seemingly unreliable plans for insect nest invasion operations (like marking "Flesh and Lord of the Swamp" on an instant noodle box, throwing it into another world, and persuading surrender and proselytizing).

The last time Chaichai killed something, it was traceable to last month when she killed a fish while cooking,

that time she really wanted to drink fish soup, but her fish-killing skills weren't proficient,

resulting in getting slapped by the fish's tail (a highlight of the fish's life), in the end, she had no choice but to use her Yin energy to put the fish to sleep, gutted it, and threw it into a blender,

drinking a bowl of fish soup tainted by Yin energy, tasteless as cement.

After that, Chaichai stopped trying to cook...

"Honestly speaking,"

Li Ang suspiciously looked up and down at Miss Chai who was in a long-term idle state, "Do you still know how to scare people?"

"How could I not?"

Chaichai crossed her arms in front of her, stubbornly saying: "Did I watch The Ring, Old Corpse in the Mountain Village, Ju-On series for nothing?

In terms of age,

figures like Chu Renmei and Kayako aren't even fit to carry my shoes.

When it comes to horror show effects, I'm a master at it."

"Then show me."

Li Ang brought over a chair, sat in front of Chaichai, and calmly said: "Pretend I'm the victim,

come on, scare me."

"Ah, starting now?"

Chaichai instinctively stepped back half a step, then thought this action undermined her aged ghost flair, so she stepped forward half a step, barely holding on, saying: "Fine, bring it on,

let me adjust my state."

Chaichai took a deep breath,

under the gleaming eyes of the Double Blade Turkey,

she posed in the starting stance of tai chi, raising and lowering her hands repeatedly,

her expression serious, as if pondering the deepest mysteries of the universe...

In a moment, she finally adjusted her mindset, and her deathly pale fingers, now with sharp nails, without hesitation, plunged into her scalp,

with a swish, her silky black hair scattered loose.

The strands fell down,

masking her face,

her spine slowly hunching, accentuating the curvature of her clothing.

Her limbs twisted at bizarre angles,

bones emitting a cringe-inducing cracking sound,

her pale arms covered in visible blue veins.

"Hoo... hoo..."

She bent her knees, half-squatting on the ground,

uttering a muffled whimper from her throat, as if sobbing and crying, yet also as if calling someone's name,

the chilling aura gradually spread throughout the not-so-spacious room,

the air heavy as frozen ice.

Step.

Her body swayed, stepping forward,

the black long hair hanging on her back fell naturally to the ground,

like banyan tree branches, creeping along the brick seams, spreading and growing.

Some of the black hair penetrated the floor, disappearing,

while another part crawled toward Li Ang,

slowly wrapping around the chair's legs, clinging to Li Ang's skin,

with a cold touch.

In Li Ang's pupils, a pale eerie figure was reflected,

she walked slowly forward, with each step more hair falling, doubling the amount,

when she stopped before Li Ang, the entire room was covered in impenetrable hair.

Snap—

The sound of bones colliding rang, she mechanically and stiffly raised her head, tilting her head,

a blood-red eye appeared under the black hair, reflecting Li Ang's face.

Pop.

A hand lightly landed on Li Ang's shoulder,

and behind his neck, it seemed someone gently blew a breath.

Li Ang turned his head, only to see a tall black shadow composed of hair standing behind him without knowing when,

the hair on the human-shaped shadow surged,

its chest cavity burst open like a huge mouth, swallowing Li Ang whole.

...

After a long time, the hair in the room slowly retreated,

accompanied by the crackling sound of bone friction, the hunched figure slowly rose, stretching back with a big yawn.

"Oh, not practicing for so long, posing really tires me out."

Chaichai shook her head, swayed her arms, letting the veins on the back of her hands recede.

"So professional,"

The Double Blade Turkey beside her looked at Chaichai with admiration, "Truly a Lady Saint."

"Hmph huh, hahaha."

Chaichai, all smiles, while retracting her hair and dusting off the dust on it, pressed her palm down, "Let's keep it low-key."

She turned to look at Li Ang, who had freed himself from the black hair prison, raising her chin, "How about my scare tactics?"

"Hmm...."

Li Ang smacked his lips, "Regarding your performance,

my evaluation is: passable.

Although the emotional expressiveness is slightly lacking, and the whole performance is a bit exaggerated,

it should be enough for scaring people."

"Hmph."

Chaichai pouted defiantly, "So what should we do?

Should we kidnap ordinary people or disguise ourselves as staff in a haunted house?"

"Kidnapping ordinary people doesn't seem feasible."

Li Ang shook his head, "Everyone carries a phone issued by the Special Affairs Bureau,

the surveillance system is ubiquitous,

if a person goes missing in broad daylight, the Special Affairs Bureau will definitely investigate."

"Then should we go to a haunted house?"

Chaichai eagerly suggested: "You haven't taken me to an amusement park yet."

"There are no more haunted houses now."

Li Ang rolled his eyes, "You know, there were worldwide outbreaks of abnormal events before,

things like haunted houses, courage-testing events, Pen Spirit games, haunted house exploration live broadcasts,

are all high-risk zones — actually, the frequency of abnormal events in these places wasn't too high, they just got exposed more easily.

Who dares to mess around with these games now,

the haunted house equipment in amusement parks has been dismantled completely, not allowed to operate."

"Ah?"

Chaichai's face fell, brushing her bangs, distressed: "Then what do we do?"

"There's always a way."

Li Ang said slowly: "The first few stages of Jidou Yanchi of Nine Underworld have no combat power, nor is there a 'going against the current, you either advance or fall back' setting,

so there's no rush.

The third stage of the Nine Underworld requires absorbing fear emotions from intelligent beings in desperate situations, right?

If it doesn't work, we have other methods..."

"Eh?"

Chaichai was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

Li Ang waved it off, reassuring Chaichai. Actually, with his current combat power, protecting Chaichai is more than enough,

letting Miss Chai learn the Nine Underworld is just for her to have a means of protection in his absence, and to keep up with the development of the insect nest.
