The Days of a Player-Character in a Bizarre World - Chapter 24

When Fu You saw how sad she was, she didn’t know what to do to comfort her. Throughout her life, she had comforted people, and she had comforted cats and dogs.

But comforting ahead was unprecedented.

She had no choice. The only thing she could do was take out a tissue and wipe away the tears of bl00d.

Fu you didn’t know how long Xiaoyue had been crying. All of her tissues were used up, and a body gradually grew out of the head’s neck.

In just a few seconds, Xiaoyue’s body was complete again.

She was wearing a pink and purple dress and was lying on the ground, crying silently. The muddy tears washed away the dust on the ground and dyed it red. The fat maggots writhed in the bloody water.

The next second, they all disappeared.

Fu You didn’t know what to do at this moment, so she just stood up and waited for Xiaoyue to calm down. Since her body had already grown back and the maggots had disappeared, she should be able to speak normally soon.

Although Fu You didn’t know what had happened, she knew that she must have said or done something to trigger a mechanism. All she could do now was wait.

Before long, Xiaoyue finally calmed down. She looked up at Fu You, and the ruined scars on her face had disappeared, revealing her original appearance.

She was of average beauty, a little charming, but her face was pale, with faint tear stains. She looked like a porcelain doll, a cracked porcelain doll.

“I can’t leave this place. If I leave the dorm building, my time is limited. I can’t save her, so can you? Can you please help me save her? Please!”

Xiaoyue’s mouth was moving, but she still couldn’t make any sound. The sound appeared directly in Fu You’s mind. It was as if she could hear Xiaoyue’s thoughts.

She reached out and grabbed Fu You’s leg. Her eyes were filled with tears. “A’Yao is the only friend I’ve known since I died. I don’t want, I don’t want her to become like me. So I’m begging you, please help me save her, okay? As long as you save her, I’ll do anything!”

Fu You squatted down and looked at her. She reached out and held her cold hand, comforting her, “Don’t worry. She’s my roommate. Just for that, I won’t abandon her. What’s more, she’s also my friend. So you have to tell me what happened to her in the past few days. I need to know how to save her.”

Xiaoyue smiled and nodded. She slowly closed her eyes. Fu You also closed her eyes for some reason. Suddenly, many images appeared in her mind.

The memory seemed to start here:

It was pitch black outside. It was clearly nighttime. There was no moon, so there was no light.

“Are you really not scared of me?”

It was Xiaoyue who was speaking. At this time, she was sitting on the bed with Fang Yaoyao. She looked at Fang Yaoyao a little nervously. Because of her nervousness, she twisted the hem of her skirt with her hands.

Fang Yaoyao, who was next to her, smiled and shook her head. “Of course. It doesn’t matter if you’re a human or a ghost. We’re good friends. I know you won’t hurt me, and I won’t hurt you, either.”

“But,” Fang Yaoyao paused and said, “Can you tell me how I can help you?”

“No, you can’t help me. My body is already incomplete. My body was dismembered and hidden by those people. If you go looking for it, the consequences will be unimaginable if you’re found! A’Yao, you’re my friend. I can’t let this happen and hurt you.”

Xiaoyue grabbed Fang Yaoyao’s hand. “It’s okay, A’Yao. I’m used to it. I’m used to living in this dorm building. Besides, you’re here now, aren’t you? I’m already very happy.”

“What if I graduate later? You’ll still be trapped in this place forever. What if there’s no one else to accompany you after that? Xiaoyue, you can’t talk me out of this. You can’t leave, but I can. Even if something really happens to me, it won’t have anything to do with you. I won’t blame you.”

Fang Yaoyao’s eyes were filled with tears, and she smiled and said, “And if I really die, won’t I be able to be with you forever…”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing,” Fang Yaoyao raised her hand to wipe away her tears. “Hurry up and tell me. Where are your body parts hidden? If you don’t tell me, I’ll have to look for them myself. You wouldn’t want to see me searching blindly, would you?”

After she said that, Fang Yaoyao stood up and was about to open the dorm door to leave. Xiaoyue was helpless. She had no choice but to call her and tell her the locations of the body parts that she could sense.

“I’m not very sure. I can only vaguely sense that my head is in the library.”

“As for the others, I don’t know yet. But if my head comes back, maybe I can look for them with you.”

Then the scene changed. A door was opened, and a sneaky girl came in. Fu You took a closer look, and it was Fang Yaoyao.

She was tightly holding a black plastic bag in her arms. If she were to think in her old way, a black plastic bag would be used for sanitary pads. She always felt that buying sanitary pads was a very embarrassing thing.

However, the plastic bag in Fang Yaoyao’s arms was big and bulging. She went into the room, quickly closed the door, and then put the plastic bag on the desk. She smiled, opened it, and looked up at the air.

“Xiaoyue, come and look. I found it. I found your head!”

Xiaoyue’s figure appeared. She floated to Fang Yaoyao’s side and looked straight at the head in the plastic bag. She then turned her head to look at Fang Yaoyao’s nervous and pale face and said with concern,

“Thank you, A’Yao. Are you really not in any danger?”

“Don’t worry. What danger could I be in? Oh, right, I ran into an upperclassman on the way. He even helped me find tools to chisel your head out of the corner of the top floor of the library.”

“An upperclassman? What’s his name? What does he look like?”

Xiaoyue looked nervous and asked a series of questions. None of them was answered directly. Instead, Fang Yaoyao just smiled and replied, “Don’t worry. He’s definitely not the kind of ghost you’re talking about. I even told him a little about your situation. He even told me that there are some bones on the mountain behind the school and that he’s not sure if they’re yours. So we made an appointment to go check it out together tomorrow.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe Fang Yaoyao. She just subconsciously felt that it was strange. Why would someone not panic when they heard about this and even happily help dig for body parts? Wasn’t this a strange thing in itself?

But when she held her head, she really did sense that a part of her body was in the direction of the mountain behind the school.

After Fang Yaoyao swore and promised repeatedly that she wouldn’t put herself in danger, Xiaoyue had no choice but to agree to let her and the so-called upperclassman go to the mountain. But she couldn’t help but worry and hoped that she was overthinking it.

The screen disappeared again, and then it was a dark place. The next second, the sky started to get bright.

The sun seemed to have just risen.

Fang Yaoyao was covered in mud and stumbled into the dorm.

Xiaoyue quickly went up to help her. Her eyes were filled with worry, and she asked her questions anxiously, but no matter how much she yelled or talked, Fang Yaoyao couldn’t hear her.

She tried many things, shaking Fang Yaoyao’s body and yelling at her, but Fang Yaoyao still didn’t respond.

Fang Yaoyao’s expression gradually became dazed, and her eyes became empty. This feeling was as if she had been possessed by some evil spirit. Her hands were covered in blisters from digging in the dirt for a long time, and her fingernails were filled with mud.

It was only after this scene appeared in her mind that Fu You remembered seeing some muddy footprints outside the dorm next door when she came back a few days ago. But she didn’t think much of it, as it had rained that day.

At that time, Fang Yaoyao hadn’t moved into her dorm and become her roommate, so she didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business.

But she had overlooked one thing. The school had stone paths. How could she have gotten so much mud on her feet from walking around campus and leaving such thick footprints on the ground? Only on the mountain behind the school.

When Fu You’s eyes opened, Xiaoyue, who was in front of her, also opened her eyes. She suddenly felt that this was a magical ability, to be able to show others the scenes she wanted them to see.

“Since that day, she has never looked for me or talked to me again.” Xiaoyue clearly sighed. “Did she lose her soul after something happened to her on the mountain? Or did that upperclassman do something to her!”

“I got it. I’m going to go find that upperclassman and ask him right now.”

After Fu You said that, she didn’t care about Xiaoyue, who was lying on the ground. She walked straight toward the door. When she got out of the dorm, she carefully closed the door.

At the same time, Yu Shang, who had been rejected and humiliated by Fu You, was furious. He wanted to vent his anger somewhere.

In the student council office, he took off his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa. Then he loosened his tie and said irritably, “Ke Na, tell me, what am I lacking compared to that guy? He’s just a pretty boy. I don’t know what Fu You sees in him. She must have been drugged by him. Otherwise, why would she scold me for a person like that!”

“Damn it! When have I, Yu Shang, ever been so humiliated!”

Ke Na was helpless and said, “My man, it’s normal for someone not to like you. You can’t force these things.”

“No, it’s not normal at all! I’m… I’m Yu Shang! I’m the ideal type in the hearts of all the girls in this school. Shouldn’t she fall for me if she’s a normal girl?”

Aike Kanglie: “…”

Ke Na: “…”

The two of them were speechless. They knew Yu Shang was a narcissist, but they didn’t expect him to be this narcissistic. He was completely hopeless!

On the other side, Fu Lu had just finished his classes.

He hadn’t been listening in class at all that afternoon. His mind was filled with ideas on how to pursue girls and how to make a romantic confession.

He thought for a long time. He thought about hot air balloons, making a heart with candles, and taking Fu You to the beach to watch the sunrise or sunset. But he felt that something was wrong with all of them. He immediately rejected these ideas after a few seconds.

So, he thought of his friends and wanted them to give him some advice.
