The Days of a Player-Character in a Bizarre World - Chapter 36

She had wanted to ask the system for a little card that could directly pull Xun Lu out of Fang Yaoyao’s body, but unfortunately, there was no such card.

She even suspected that the system was deliberately messing with her or just wouldn’t give her one, but she finally gave up when the system helplessly replied that there really wasn’t one.

She had no idea how Fu Lu was doing right now. If he were here, he might know how to separate Xun Lu and Fang Yaoyao. The current situation was that Xun Lu’s time in the dream was only two hours. Fu Lu had told her how to set up this dream, just in case.

She just didn’t expect that “just in case” to happen so soon.

If Xun Lu woke up from the dream, the cage that trapped her had a duration of ten hours. So, what she could do now was to find Fu Lu and ask him how to destroy that so-called resurrection formation.

She remembered Wei Shengjun Yu saying that their bodies had to be burned. So, she either had to find Xun Lu’s body and burn it, or… time was of the essence. Both were possible, but she felt that it would be better to find Fu Lu and do this together.

After leaving the dorm, she saw Ren Jiejie rushing toward her. She quickly closed the dorm door and walked quickly toward Ren Jiejie. Seeing that Ren Jiejie was out of breath, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Outside, there are so many zombies!” Ren Jiejie stood up and held onto Fu You. “A’You, I don’t know what’s wrong outside. So many students have turned into zombies.”

“Don’t worry. It seems someone is about to make their move.”

She said that, and then she quickly explained the current situation to Ren Jiejie. Luckily, Ren Jiejie had some knowledge of metaphysics and spirits and was a firm believer. After listening to Fu You, she was a little surprised, but she quickly returned to normal and even teased Fu You for not telling her sooner.

Now, Fu You could only guess that Xun Lu was behind all of this. Everything outside was for her so-called resurrection plan. It seemed she was going to perform a sacrifice. Fu You quickly asked, “Are all the zombies outside girls?”

“How did you know?”

Then it was true. In two days, the negative energy would be at its peak, and Xun Lu would probably take that opportunity to sacrifice all the female students and resurrect herself. At that time, everyone else in the school would die.

But to stop her resurrection, wouldn’t she have to slaughter all the female students in the school, leaving no one alive? This was something she could never, ever do.

So, she had a second plan.

Since these zombies were surrounding the dorm but not coming in, it must have been Xun Lu’s orders. If she let them all in, there might be a different effect.

After hearing the instructions, Ren Jiejie and Fu You split up. Ren Jiejie went to tear off all the talismans she could see in the dorm building, while Fu You went back to the dorm to look for the fragments of the stone carving.

As long as there was even a little bit, she would use plaster to remake the stone carving. She didn’t know if this would summon Fu Lu back, but she had to try.

She searched in the dorm for a long time and finally found half of the stone carving fragments in a bag next to Xun Lu. The only thing she could think of was that Fu Lu had smashed his recovered stone carving to prevent Xun Lu from getting it, but half of it still ended up in Xun Lu’s hands.

It’s okay. I’ll fix it now. After an hour and a half of work, Fu You finally pieced it all back together and put it back on the table, letting it bask in the sunlight. Then, she lit incense and offered it to him.

At the same time, Xun Lu woke up.

She and Fang Yaoyao’s body, along with the vacant-eyed Xiaoyue, were trapped in the formation. Luckily, inside the formation, she couldn’t use any of her abilities and was no different from an ordinary person.

“Fu You, you really deserve to die. You made such a good dream for me!”

Fu You, who had just finished repairing the stone carving, stood up and looked at her, laughing. “Since you think the dream was so good, why didn’t you stay in it a little longer?”

Xun Lu glared at Fu You angrily, but she didn’t dare to get close to the edge of the formation. Her soul would be burned if she touched the edge, but it wouldn’t kill her. If the damage was too strong, let alone resurrecting, she might not even be able to stay in Fang Yaoyao’s body. She wasn’t that stupid.

Fu You didn’t care about her insults at all. All she wanted to do was get Fu Lu back. She had just used a thousand of her 10,000 idle coins, so she didn’t dare to use them recklessly again.

I’ll just forget about the side quests. Anyway, she probably wouldn’t need the little cards later. It would be fine to unlock their uses in the next instance.

The most important thing now was to prevent Xun Lu from getting away again. She had a lot to do in this short amount of time.

She stopped listening to Xun Lu’s rants and rushed out of the dorm. She stood at the dorm entrance and saw many zombies roaming outside. Now, there were not only female zombies but also male zombies. It seemed that all the students in the school had been infected.

She opened the dorm door and walked out. Perhaps because she had Xun Lu’s scent on her, the zombies didn’t dare to do anything to her. They even made way for her and then continued to surround the female dorm.

Suddenly, music started playing. She ran toward the source of the sound. The corridors of the Chongde Building were covered with corpses. Next to the flower beds downstairs, zombies were killing each other. It seemed that the law of the jungle had finally applied to zombies.

Seeing these corpses, Fu You walked on them without hesitation. Ren Jiejie, who had followed her at some point, saw her walk on them and said, “A’You?”

Fu You turned her head and saw that Ren Jiejie had found a long blade somewhere. It was covered in bl00d, and even her face and clothes were stained with bl00d. She looked at Fu You blankly, fighting back the nausea, and walked on the corpses toward Fu You.

When they reached the classroom door, the music stopped abruptly. It was then that Fu You realized that Ren Jiejie’s long blade could absorb the souls of these evil spirits. It could pull these things out of the dead.

So, Ren Jiejie stood in the corridor and raised the long blade above her head. Sure enough, the green souls from the corpses in the corridor were slowly being pulled out. Fu You’s guess was confirmed. This blade must be Xun Lu’s long sword.

Just now, when she grabbed Ren Jiejie’s hand, she subconsciously saw the words “Xi Yun” on the handle of the blade. It seemed that Xi Yun had become Xun Lu’s sacrifice and was the first person to be sacrificed to this blade.

Fu You patted Ren Jiejie’s shoulder. “You stay here for a while. I’m going into the classroom to take a look.”

“Okay, be careful.”

“I’m fine,” Ren Jiejie was still holding on.

“Don’t hold on. You go back to the dorm first. Watch over Xun Lu and protect the stone carving. Watch over the long blade, too. Wait for me.”

“I’m coming with you.”

Helplessly, Fu You had to say, “If you come, I’ll have to protect you later. Trust me. Go back now.”

“Okay, you have to stay alive.”

“Don’t worry!”

After escorting Ren Jiejie into the dorm building, Fu You turned and walked toward the abandoned basketball court. Ren Jiejie was dizzy and didn’t realize that Fu You had already taken the long blade. By following the path Xun Lu had taken in her dream, Fu You found the burial site.

The soil on the side of the basketball court was very hard. It was not a good place to bury a body. It would take a while to dig. Luckily, she had this long blade in her hand, or she would have had to give the system more money.

She held the long blade and plunged it into the soil.

“Schwing! Schwing!—”

Fu You was digging with great force. Perhaps it was because the long blade had pierced Xun Lu’s body. In the dorm, Xun Lu let out a painful wail.

“Damn it! She found my body! I can’t wait any longer.”

Under normal circumstances, Xun Lu could only be resurrected in two days, but now her body had been found by Fu You. If she didn’t act quickly, it would be even harder to resurrect later. What’s more, the positive energy was at its peak right now, and the spiritual power of the stone carving on the balcony was slowly recovering. If this continued, Fang Yaoyao’s body wouldn’t be able to hold Fu Lu.

She could only take another gamble. So, she stubbornly used all her power and blasted it at the formation. The next second, she was hit by the formation’s backlash and fell to the ground. She wanted to summon all the evil spirits outside to break through the formation, but the formation suppressed all her abilities. She couldn’t use any of them.

She couldn’t even speak to anyone but Fu You. She couldn’t say or hear anything else.

At this moment, Fu You had already dug up most of the soil. She could vaguely see the buried corpse. She was about to succeed, so she sped up her digging.

“Sister~ Sister~” Fu Lu’s voice faintly echoed in her ears. She stopped digging with the long blade and looked around. There was no one around, not even a ghost.

So she continued to dig. Suddenly, Fu Lu’s voice sounded in her ear again. “Sister~ Burn them! Burn them~”

The voice disappeared. Fu You looked at the female corpse she had dug up. The clothes she was wearing were identical to those of Fu Lu, the little doll. She moved the female corpse aside and then took out a small card with a flame on it.

With that shape, I can guess that it’s for lighting a fire, she thought. She tore the card into pieces and threw them onto the corpse. With a “whoosh,” the fire started, and the corpse slowly began to burn.

At the same time, Xun Lu, who was trapped in the dorm, suddenly opened her eyes and clutched her chest.
