The Days of a Player-Character in a Bizarre World - Chapter 27

“Sister, what are you doing?”

Just as he spoke, Fu Lu didn’t have a chance to stop her. Even though he wanted to reach out and grab Fu You, his movements were a little too slow.

“Scratch!”

The sound of a matchbox striking filled the air. Fu You threw the lit match into the pit she had just doused with gasoline. She smiled as she watched the fire start to burn before she answered,

“To bring comfort to the souls of the dead and to punish the wicked.”

Fu Lu felt like he didn’t understand. He subconsciously said, “Huh?” Fu You looked at the rising flames and simply explained to Fu Lu,

“This place used to be a mass grave and a battlefield. This dagger is a woman’s dagger, used for self-defense, which shows that it didn’t protect them from the enemies…”

She paused here, thinking of some battlefield scenes in real life, the names of heroes engraved on those monuments, and the women who were humiliated by the Japanese army. Perhaps this dagger was also used by women for self-defense at that time.

“Basically, places like this school are usually built on top of a place where a lot of people have died, maybe a long time ago. The young students’ life energy is enough to suppress these evil spirits, and the school is a place of education, which naturally has positive energy. So it can suppress evil spirits.”

She looked at Fu Lu and observed his expression. “Didn’t our school dig up a stone statue before? I don’t really know much about it, but I have a little bit of an impression of that statue. It was used to suppress evil spirits. But that thing was damaged, so evil spirits have been coming out one after another.”

She pointed to the bones next to the fire and said, “This body that was dug up is one of the victims. How innocent she was to have died like this.”

Fu Lu listened to her from behind and pursed his lips without saying anything.

Because what Fu You said was completely different from what was in his memory.

In his memory, this land wasn’t buried with ghosts or demons from a mass grave, or enemies from a battlefield, and it wasn’t those humiliated women. It was buried with heroes who deserved to be revered.

When he met them, they were heroes. For this, Fu Lu had become very good friends with these people.

The fire gradually faded, and the dagger was covered in ashes, but it didn’t break. Fu You rummaged through the bag that Fu Lu had brought and finally found a hammer, a heavy hammer with a round ball.

She hit the dagger with the hammer. The dagger made a “kabang” sound and broke. Fu You clapped her hands and smiled. “Perfect. A’Lu, thank you for your hard work. It’s late. Let’s go back now.”

Fu you had already gotten used to it. She naturally rubbed his head.

She put Xiaoyue’s body back together and then scooped out all the debris from the pit. She then put Xiaoyue’s bones in the pit and buried them. After she was done with all of this, she left with Fu Lu.

Fu you didn’t go back to the dorm directly. Instead, she walked toward the infirmary. Fu Lu didn’t understand but didn’t ask. He just followed Fu You’s side, staying with her the whole time.

In the infirmary, Fu You looked at Fang Yaoyao, who was lying on the hospital bed. She didn’t know when she would wake up, but she could see that her spirit was much better. Her face was much better than the pale face she had seen before.

As for Fu Lu, he didn’t know Fang Yaoyao and didn’t want to know her. He just wanted to spend more time with Fu You.

Fu You got up, and just as she was about to leave, Fang Yaoyao woke up. “Fu You…?”

When she heard her voice, Fu You was a little excited. She excitedly turned back to look at Fang Yaoyao. She didn’t know why she was excited, but at the moment she heard Fang Yaoyao wake up, she felt her whole body relax.

Perhaps it’s because I can get the Lazy Fish Coins?

“Fu You, why are you…”

Fang Yaoyao was a little surprised. In her memory, she and Fu You were just classmates in the same class and didn’t live in the same dorm. She was a nobody and had no interaction with the school’s recognized queen. She was the kind of person who didn’t even talk much in class.

As for Fu Lu, who was behind her, she didn’t know him at all. This was the first time she had seen him.

“You’re my only roommate now. Of course, I have to come and see you! Is that not allowed?” Fu You smiled.

Fang Yaoyao quickly shook her head. “No, no. I’m just very happy that you came to see me. I never thought I’d see the day. But the one behind you…”

“Hello, I’m Fu Lu. I came with my sister!”

Before Fang Yaoyao could finish her sentence, Fu Lu spoke first, which meant he wasn’t there to see Fang Yaoyao but to be with Fu You.

Fang Yaoyao smiled and nodded. It turned out she was mistaken. That’s a relief. She said to Fu You, “So, he’s your brother…”

Fu Lu: Not that kind of brother…

He thought to himself, but he still wouldn’t give up. He blurted out, “Not that kind of brother. Sister will be my exclusive sister from now on.”

Fang Yaoyao instantly understood. Her face couldn’t help but blush a little. She had to admit, this little brother was really cute.

Fu You sat on the side of her bed and glanced at Fu Lu. Fu Lu stopped talking and sat obediently on a stool nearby, gazing at Fu You.

She helped Fang Yaoyao sit up and lean against the headboard. She casually grabbed an orange and handed it to her, saying, “I’ve seen Xiaoyue.”

Fang Yaoyao’s pupils instantly widened. She looked at Fu You with an incredulous expression. She swallowed her saliva again and again. She wanted to say something, but didn’t know where to start.

“You… you’ve seen Xiaoyue? How… how can that be…”

She was a little panicked. She had hidden it so well. No one had ever found out.

Seeing Fang Yaoyao’s flustered look, Fu You comforted her, “Don’t worry. We get along well. I’ve already helped you finish what you couldn’t do. You don’t have to go to the mountain behind the school to dig anymore.”

After she said that, Fu You didn’t continue. She reached out and held her hand, smiling and nodding.

Fang Yaoyao, of course, knew what she meant. Tears instantly filled her eyes. She couldn’t hold them back and let them flow down her cheeks. She looked up at Fu You and said with a choked voice, “Thank you, thank you so much, Fu You!”

Fu You hated these emotional scenes the most. She said a few simple words to Fang Yaoyao, telling her to get some rest, and then she took Fu Lu and left the infirmary.

After all, she was doing this mostly to earn Lazy Fish Coins.

After Fang Yaoyao was fine, she first called her parents to tell them she was safe. This way, her parents wouldn’t have to come to school to pick her up.

[Beep beep beep, congratulations to the host for completing side quest one: helping Fang Yaoyao get rid of the evil spirit. 500 Lazy Fish Coins have been added to your account~]

The system’s voice appeared in her mind. 500 Lazy Fish Coins were in her account. Fu You happily smiled. Although the voice was still as annoying as ever, she was really happy that the Lazy Fish Coins were in her account!

Fu Lu followed Fu You to the dorm building. Fu You simply said goodnight to him and went back to her dorm. Fu Lu, on the other hand, kept looking back as he walked back to the male dorm, trying to see if Fu You would also look back at him.

Sure enough, Fu You looked back.

Fu Lu took out his phone and made a voice call to Fu You. When the call connected, he couldn’t wait to speak first. “Sister~”

“What’s wrong?”

“Goodnight, Sister~”

“A’Lu, goodnight~”

After hanging up, Fu Lu skipped back to his dorm like a child. Fu You also smiled and went back to her dorm.

After she washed up, Fu You lay in bed but couldn’t fall asleep. She decided to go over what she had to do for the next side quest in her head:

“Xiaoyue’s death is probably not that simple. Why did they have to dismember her body and bury it separately? Also, Fu Lu’s birthday is coming up. I have to personally make him a bowl of longevity noodles. In the next two days, I have to go to that abandoned classroom and find the girl named Jiao Jiyu and help her fulfill her wish.”

After she organized her thoughts, she felt motivated. The lights in the dorm were dim. Only the small desk lamp was on.

Fu You’s bed was surrounded by a light blue curtain. Inside, besides the faint light from her phone screen, it was pitch black.

At this moment, she was browsing the forum, thinking if she could find that “Loves Rain” user again.

This user had left a very deep impression on Fu You. After all, the picture was even more terrifying, but then they immediately logged out. It was very strange. So she had a very bold idea. Could “Loves Rain” be Jiao Jiyu?

Let’s assume “Loves Rain” and Jiao Jiyu are the same person. Then, she could attract more people to the abandoned classroom to satisfy her pleasure of killing, like a pyramid scheme to attract “customers.”

But what if Jiao Jiyu isn’t “Loves Rain”? They are two different people. Then, is there a possibility that “Loves Rain” is Fu Lu’s ex-girlfriend, Xun Lu?

“Loves Rain,” Xun Lu.

It seemed that she had to get more information about Xun Lu from Fu Lu. She had to ask him for the details.

Just as she was thinking, a “drip drip drip” sound of water came into her ears. It sounded like it was raining, or like water dripping from a faucet in the sink.

Fu You wasn’t sure. She pulled back the curtain and peeked out the window. Raindrops were hitting the window glass. She then pulled the curtain closed again.

It was raining, perfect for sleeping.

“Whoosh!—”

Suddenly, the rain got heavier. It had only been about a minute, but the rain was coming down fiercely. However, it made Fu You, who was already feeling sleepy, even more sleepy.

Fu You yawned, turned off her phone, and put it next to her pillow. She then closed her eyes.

Just as she closed her eyes, Fu You suddenly felt a vibration. Her phone vibrated next to her pillow. She opened her eyes, picked up her phone, and unlocked it. A new message from Fu Lu had a red dot next to it.

She opened it.

Fu Lu: “You there?”

Fu You frowned a little. She instinctively felt that something was wrong. Fu Lu would never talk to her in this tone. So this might not be Fu Lu, or it might be another “Fu Lu.”

She didn’t reply. The other person sent another message:

“It’s so late. Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”
