The Days of a Player-Character in a Bizarre World - Chapter 29

The tabby cat’s figure was suspended in midair, its mouth slightly agape as it smiled and warned the two mice in front of it.

After speaking, it turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared. Time was running out. The girl and the middle-aged man stared at Fu You and Xiaoyue. They wanted to attack but were helpless, so they had to give up, but their eyes were filled with pure rage.

When faced with such a situation, they had no choice but to hide and not get caught. As long as they weren’t caught, they would have a chance for revenge. After half an hour, when the game was over, they would rush out and kill Fu You.

“You think you can catch us so easily just like that?”

The girl scoffed, walked to the window, and looked at the drizzling rain outside. She plunged the dagger in her hand into the wall next to the window. As for how she managed to do that, Fu You didn’t even have to think about it. In this world, nothing was surprising anymore.

On the other side, as night fell, Yu Shang and Ke Na called two of their lackeys to carry Aike Kanglie, who was in a bag, and walked toward the abandoned classroom.

They originally planned to throw him into Taiji Lake to feed the fish, but then they remembered that three people had died there. They were a little scared to go there, so they just decided to throw him into the abandoned classroom. The ghosts in the abandoned classroom needed hearts.

The group quickly reached the corridor. They stood at the door of the abandoned classroom and put Aike Kanglie on the ground. No one dared to be the first to go in. They were all cowering.

“Maybe we should just not go in. He has bl00d on him. If we attract that thing, we’ll all be dead.”

What he said was right. Yu Shang looked at the lackey who spoke and then ordered the others to pull Aike Kanglie’s body back. He had a bold idea.

After retreating to a blind spot in the surveillance camera, Yu Shang threatened the boy who had just spoken, telling him to cut out Aike Kanglie’s heart. The boy, holding the fresh heart, kept muttering, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

He stared at the heart in his palm, which was getting colder and colder. He walked forward cautiously. Yu Shang couldn’t stand it anymore and kicked him. The heart fell from his hands and rolled forward, leaving a trail of bl00d on the ground.

“Hurry up, stop messing around. You carry the body into the classroom, and you clean this place up. Remember to take the heart with you and don’t leave any traces. Got it?”

Yu Shang ordered the two lackeys to do the work. Ke Na stood behind him, not moving. He hadn’t planned to be involved in this, but Yu Shang’s family was too powerful. He could easily ruin his family at any time, so sometimes he had no choice but to do what he was told.

At least he wasn’t too involved.

Seeing that the two of them were still a little slow, Yu Shang said, “Don’t worry. After this is done, you and your families will be well taken care of.”

Hearing this, the two of them got more motivated. After all, people at the bottom like just needed the higher-ups to give them a meal. Although this rich kid, Yu Shang, was a little bossy, he was never stingy when it came to giving out benefits.

The two of them nodded and agreed. They first carried the body over. Then, one of the lackeys went back to handle the place where the heart had fallen. Without any tools, he could only use his school uniform to wipe it.

Luckily, the bl00d hadn’t dried yet. The school uniform was quickly stained with bl00d, and the bloodstains on the ground were also cleaned up. Then, he walked toward the heart and picked it up.

“Ah!”

The lackey instinctively pulled his hand back. His shout startled Yu Shang and Ke Na, who were behind him. Yu Shang yelled, “What are you doing? You scared me!”

“The… the heart moved! The heart moved!”

Yu Shang’s face instantly darkened. “What are you talking about? How can a heart move? Are you kidding me?”

“Bro, I, I’m not kidding. The heart just moved.”

Just as he spoke, the old radio in the classroom started its song. The sudden music was very out of place in the entire academic building. It was night, and it was so quiet that all you could hear was this eerie tune.

This sudden sound completely broke the lackey’s psychological defenses. He couldn’t stay in this place any longer. He was already close to a mental breakdown. He didn’t care if there was bl00d on his hands. He covered his ears and ran down the stairs, running at the fastest speed he had ever run in his life.

Yu Shang frowned and tried to call him back, but no matter how much he yelled, the other person couldn’t hear him. Soon, the other person’s figure was gone, and the sound of his yelling was also gone.

At this time, only Yu Shang was left in the corridor. The radio was still playing. Ke Na, who was behind him, had been sent to the side of the classroom to keep an eye on the other person. He looked around nervously, his fear reaching its peak.

So, he prepared to turn around and leave. He wouldn’t wait for Ke Na and the other person anymore.

As for the heart, he looked at it and laughed. “It’s just a heart. Who cares? Anyway, we’re already here. The heart has been dug out. What else can happen?”

He muttered to himself, but his body was honest. He walked around the heart and toward the stairs. He had only one thought in his mind now, and that was to leave, to leave immediately. Other people’s lives were far less important than his own.

“Yu, where are you going?”

A familiar voice came from behind him. Yu Shang instinctively stopped and looked back to see Ke Na and the other lackey standing behind him. Their eyes were empty, and they stared at him expressionlessly.

There were large bloodstains on their chests. Yu Shang couldn’t help but feel a little confused, even terrified. He didn’t want to confirm it, but he had to. “Did you throw him in?”

“Yeah, we threw him in.”

“Then, the bl00d on your chests is…?” Yu Shang said as he slowly backed away, reaching out to grab the railing.

Ke Na and the lackey looked at each other and then took a step closer to Yu Shang, smiling. “Our hearts are also gone…”

Yu Shang screamed and turned to run away, but there were stairs behind him. He accidentally fell down the stairs. Ke Na’s lips curved into a small smile as he pointed at Yu Shang.

“Yu, you’re so cowardly. We were just kidding. The bl00d on our chests is obviously from Aike Kanglie.”

The two of them laughed cruelly. They had been looking forward to this day for a long time. They had been suppressed by Yu Shang for too long. Taking this opportunity to have some fun, why not? Looking at Yu Shang, who was in unbearable pain from falling down the stairs, they felt a sense of relief.

In the male dorm, Fu Lu had his phone plugged in and charging. After taking Fu You back to the dorm, he realized his phone was out of battery. So, after saying goodnight to Fu You, he plugged in his phone to charge.

Then, he changed into black clothes and quietly left the male dorm.

As he walked out of the dorm building, he reached into his pocket and touched the light purple gem he had pried off the dagger. The ghost attached to it was the one Fu You wanted to get rid of.

What he didn’t understand was why Fu You had to kill this girl’s ghost when she had a dagger for self-defense. Was it wrong to defend oneself against those enemies? But then he thought, Sister must have her reasons for doing what she does.

However, he still took it upon himself to save this ghost. Fu Lu didn’t know if he had done the right thing, but at that moment, his subconscious told him that this ghost could be saved.

Suddenly, a wailing sound of ghosts echoed in his mind. It was so strong that his head hurt to the point where he couldn’t speak. Many memory fragments quickly appeared in his mind. He wanted to grab them one by one and see what they were, but he couldn’t. He couldn’t grab them. He could only watch as those things stayed in his mind for a moment and then slipped away.

The words Fu You said on the mountain kept echoing in his ears. On one side were the friends who had been with him since he could remember. They were the ones who told him who he was, what he should do, and gave him a purpose in life.

On the other side was the girl he liked, who was telling him about the painful lives of the souls trapped in the mass grave. Some were good, some were bad. Some were enemies, some were friends. Was it a battlefield or something else? He was confused. He suddenly didn’t know who he was or who he should believe.

So, he was here to get an answer. Even if the answer wasn’t clear, he wanted to have a good talk with those friends.

If Fu You was telling the truth, then he would settle all the scores.

At the center of the bridge at Taiji Lake, the young man stood tall. The moonlight shone on him. He slightly leaned forward and looked at the calm surface of the lake.

“Why don’t you dare to come out and see me?”

As soon as he spoke, the koi in the lake floated to the surface. Every fish opened its mouth, and a wisp of mist came out, eventually forming human figures.

They looked ferocious and menacing. They all had a curved sword at their waist. Fu Lu then noticed that those curved swords were exclusive to the Japanese army.

“Fu Lu, what are you doing here so late?”

“I want to hear the truth. Who are you? Where are you from? And what is your purpose for being here?”

The group looked at each other and then burst into arrogant laughter. “Are you interrogating us?”

“No, I just feel like I don’t know you well enough. You’re my friends. Friends shouldn’t hide things from each other, right?”

A chubby man stepped on a koi and walked closer to Fu Lu. He put away his smile. “Since you’ve asked, I won’t beat around the bush. We came here with the determination to unify the world and save the people of your country. Isn’t that a noble and righteous act?”

“Righteous?”

“Yes, we are here to save you. To save you cowardly people, and your cowardly country. Isn’t that righteous?”

These words, coming from their hypocritical mouths, were so righteous. Their eyes were full of cunning. Fu Lu quickly realized that if they were truly righteous, why were they doing things like slaughtering innocent people instead of performing righteous acts?

Fu Lu couldn’t help but think of what Fu You had said. It turns out Sister was telling the truth.
