While running wildly, Xiaoqin's head was in a daze. She didn't think about anything and didn't notice that she was not running out of the bluestone alley, but running towards the inside.

——It is commonly known as...

So scared.

When Xiaoqin could no longer run and stopped, she realized that her heart was beating very fast, as if it was about to jump out of her throat, beating non-stop with a thumping sound.

But when she stopped with her hands on her knees and looked around, she found that there was another door embedded in the wall at the corner not far ahead.

There is no end in sight to the bluestone alley.

At the corner behind her, a woman's figure was dimly reflected on the wall, and no one knew where the dim light came from.

Xiaoqin felt a sense of urgency in her heart as if she was about to be caught up by the thing behind her. She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and continued to run forward. When she passed the door, she looked inside again and found that although the structure of this courtyard was very similar to the previous one, there was no hanging woman and no old lady sitting at the door.

Instead, there were four rectangular wooden boxes parked in the middle of the courtyard. The lids of several of the rectangular wooden boxes were half open, and there was just enough space inside to accommodate one person.

Seeing that the woman chasing her was about to turn the corner and catch up with her, Xiaoqin looked at the endless bluestone alley, then at the rectangular wooden box in the courtyard. In her urgency, her mind suddenly jumped, and she stepped over the threshold and ran into the yard. After looking around, she chose the rectangular wooden box on the far left, stepped in and lay down. After thinking for a while, she struggled to pull up the lid on the rectangular wooden box.

The so-called rectangular wooden box is actually a coffin.

At the moment Xiaoqin pulled up the coffin, the figure of the woman in cheongsam happened to pass by the gate of the yard.

…

Xiaoqin held down her rapidly beating heart and touched her cheek with small movements. She felt her face was hot from the stimulation.

It was not until this time that Xiaoqin's mind gradually came back to her senses and she began to think about what that woman was.

First, eliminate [people].

Since she, Ai Yue, another little sister, and Xiao Baicai are the only ones in the human camp in this copy, then based on the information conveyed by the previous novice guide, could that woman be in the [Ghost] camp?

With the concepts of primordial spirit and soul in "Record of Mountains and Seas", as well as the "return of soul" after the death of the traveler in "Peach Blossom Spring", the concept of people becoming "ghosts" after death is actually not difficult for them to understand now.

But whether it is "Records of Mountains and Seas" or "Peach Blossom Spring", the feeling they give her is not like this!

Versus game, versus game, why let them fight against such a terrible opponent? QAQ! Is this what human beings do?

Xiaoqin huddled in the extremely quiet coffin, thinking in panic, she just wanted to return to her little friend immediately to seek comfort.

Thinking of this, Xiaoqin breathed softly and listened hard to the noise outside through the wooden board. It felt very quiet outside, and it sounded like there was nothing else moving around.

Did you chase forward?

If she goes out now, she should be able to run back to find Ai Yue and the others, right?

...But what if that [ghost] chases ahead and can't find her, so it turns back and runs into her?

It was rare to find a safe small space, and Xiaoqin was somewhat resistant to the idea of ​​leaving this safe space, but she felt very uneasy staying alone and was eager to reunite with her teammates.

Eventually, the desire to reunite with her teammates overcame her reluctance to leave her safe space. She held her breath, relaxed, and gave a gentle push.

——No push.

Xiaoqin felt that she was not using enough strength, so she increased her strength a little and prepared to push the lid open in one go, but after trying for a while, the coffin lid still did not move.

Xiaoqin panicked.

Even if you don't feel lack of oxygen physically, you will inexplicably feel suffocated psychologically.

At this moment, she heard a sound from above, something knocking on the wooden lid.

If you were watching the fight from a God's perspective, when the spectators saw Xiaoqin here, they would find that the ghost that Xiaoqin thought had gone far away actually did not go away at all, and was still lying on the lid of the coffin.

When Xiaoqin finally figured it out, he knocked on the coffin lid viciously and told her:

——I’ve always been here.

…

While Xiaoqin was trapped in the coffin, the other three people also received system prompts.

[Your teammate has been captured by the [Ghost]. To win the game, please actively rescue him.]

"Ah?" Xiao Baicai, who was moving forward by feeling the wall, was stunned for a moment. He saw that Xiao Qin's avatar on the team page had turned into a coffin, and blood was still flowing out of the coffin lid.

At the same time, when he looked around, he saw a small red dot appear in a certain direction.

The red dot represents the direction of the captured teammate.

"It seems to be quite close to me..." Xiao Baicai tried hard to analyze it and changed the distance he was moving. "How did he get caught? I haven't even seen the [ghost] yet. I'll go and save him."

Although he couldn't see the comments in the live broadcast room after entering the dungeon, he would still subconsciously say a few words occasionally out of habit.

Ai Yue and another little sister also saw this prompt and planned to go rescue people, but Xiao Baicai was the closest to that location, so he was the first to arrive.

However, he found Xiaoqin not in the courtyard of Qingshi Lane, but in the lobby of an old house. When he arrived, the sound of hammering on wooden boards and sobbing could be heard coming from the coffin placed in the middle of the lobby.

Xiao Baicai went over and pushed the lid of the coffin. At first, she couldn't move it, but after pushing hard for more than ten seconds, she finally pushed the lid open.

"Who is it?" Xiaoqin's frightened voice came from inside.

"I'm Xiaobaicai. Are you okay?" Xiaobaicai pulled Xiaoqin out of the coffin.

Xiaoqin's crying subsided a little. She didn't answer his question, but whispered anxiously, "Let's get out of here! She will come back!"

As she spoke, she looked up and was surprised to see the changes in the surrounding environment, but she didn't stay surprised for too long. She quickly pulled Xiao Baicai out of the house through the window.

"Huh? Who?"

"...ghost." Xiaoqin described the appearance of the [ghost] and her previous experience to Xiaobaicai, her voice trembling.

【……Wow! 】

[It sounds a bit scary]

I think it's okay? I came here from a few other livestream rooms, and someone over there chose the [Crazy XX] dungeon. The monsters in there... Ugh, they're really scary as hell. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came here to watch something a little more gentle.

I don't think monsters are a big deal. After all, I've seen all kinds of weird monsters. But the kind that Miss Qin described, let me put it into reality. If I saw someone in real life and saw that person was dead, but when I turned around, that person was standing there smiling at me, I would probably be really scared.

[Especially in such a gloomy environment... The architectural style is similar to that of Taohuayuan, but here it gives people the feeling that there is something terrifying hidden in the darkness.]

[Stop talking, I already got up and turned on the light]

During the time they were communicating on the barrage, Xiaoqin and Xiaobaicai had already left the vicinity of the house. Only when they were far enough away did Xiaoqin seem to feel a little relieved.

"...Can we end the game now and leave?" she said fearfully, "I don't want to play anymore..."

"It seems there is no option to quit. Let's go and reconcile with Ai Yue and the others first, right?" Xiao Baicai comforted her, "We can get out as soon as we find the clues."

Xiaoqin nodded in agreement.

At this time, their clue collection progress is still 0, and they have to collect 5 clues to leave.

But after a while, someone found a clue, and the progress of collecting that clue became one-fifth.

"That leaves only four left!" Both of their expressions relaxed a little, feeling they saw hope.

After that, the two of them walked together for a while and found a light in front of them.

In this dim Xujia Town, light is so rare!

They quickened their pace and walked towards the direction of the light. They saw the two doors of a house wide open. Many candles were burning inside. The candlelight from the house illuminated the steps outside the door a little.

With the little light they could see the plaque hanging above the door.

The handwriting is a little sloppy, but in order to prevent anyone from not understanding it, the system has thoughtfully marked the words on the plaque.

——[Xu Family Ancestral Hall]

There is also a faint arrow on the ground, indicating that there are clues inside the house.

Then they must go in and take a look!

Xiao Baicai's eyes lit up. After peeking at the door of the ancestral hall with Xiao Qin for a while, they carefully stepped over the threshold and walked in. As soon as they entered, they saw an arrow inside the ancestral hall, pointing to the several rows of tablets.

"You start from that side, and I'll start from this side. Let's find the clues among these, shall we?" Xiao Baicai suggested, and the two of them started from both sides to turn over the tablets.

Although they also don't know what the clue looks like.

While flipping through the names on the tablets to look for clues, Xiao Baicai noticed that several names on the tablets were bright red, several were black, and there were fewer bright red names.

The one he was holding was bright red, with the name [Xu Jiajing] written on it.

However, the system did not remind him to obtain any clues, so he put down the tablet and continued searching.

When he picked up a tablet with the name [Xu Wanjun] written on it, all the flickering candles in the Xu family ancestral hall went out in an instant.

[Obtained clue*1, remaining clues in the copy: 3]

However, Xiao Baicai and Xiao Qin were not paying attention to the system message at this time. They paused and subconsciously slowed down their breathing.

Oh my god!

[I couldn't help but shrink my legs]

The atmosphere becomes tense.

【Xiaobaicai, behind you! 】

【Look behind you, look behind you, turn around quickly! 】

[No, don't look back!]

【……】

Of course, Xiao Baicai couldn't see what was being said in the comments. While he was breathing softly and keeping quiet, he felt something touch his heel, and it was as if someone patted the back of his head.

He saw Xiaoqin opposite him suddenly froze in place, with intense fear in her eyes. Not knowing what she saw, he took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and lowered his head first.

——A pair of delicate and small shoes stopped quietly behind him, with the toes touching his heels.

When he lowered his head, he felt a gust of wind passing across his neck again, and he looked up with a pause.

The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of white feet.

The author has something to say:

I was scared the first time I played it, but after I became proficient, I started to show off, doing things like the King of Qin circling the pillar and the Emperor of Man escaping from ghosts. I started to show off my skills.

That coffin is equivalent to the gallows or carnival chair in the chicken-killing game, which means Xiaoqin actually sat on the chair herself hh
