"Y-you, you're a player?"

The sudden appearance of Mu Chen startled everyone except for Lu Xiaoyao, who was oblivious and had a peculiar way of thinking, who screamed excitedly. All the other players were terrified when they saw him after finishing their lunch boxes.

Not only Mu Chen, but also the two male spirits with pale complexions who had been brought back by Mu Chen earlier, standing in the corner by the door, also attracted everyone's attention.

"Um."

Mu Chen nodded, which was his way of answering Wang Wenfei's question; he was indeed a player.

Yuan Fang and Zhen Po, who heard Mu Chen speak, were filled with nothing but "mmp" (a vulgar expression of frustration).

You can speak, so why didn't you say anything before?!

Ignoring the resentment from Yuan Fang and Zhen Po, Mu Chen stood up. Then, without making a sound, he helped Mingmei to her feet again in the same position he had just used to pull her up. He then quickly let go, lowered his eyes, and stood obediently to the side.

He looked like a primary school student being punished by being made to stand in the corner.

Knowing that Mingmei would come after him for his sudden appearance, he backed down first.

That cunning and despicable man!

Gui Gui, through Ming Mei's bright perspective, naturally spotted the undead player!

Hearing Gui Gui say that, Mingmei's eyes began to wander, and she felt a little guilty.

She didn't even have time to do any calculations!

Could I have kissed someone just now?

No way, really?

Mingmei didn't even consider whether she had been kissed by someone else; instead, she proactively started thinking about what to do if she had kissed someone.

Are we going to have to take responsibility?

Mingmei avoided looking at Mu Chen as if trying to escape, but instead, along with everyone else, she noticed the other two spirits standing in the corner by the door.

"They are Mette and Nar." Seeing Mingmei looking over, Mu Chen immediately reminded her in a fawning manner.

Mingmei: "Hmm..."

Everyone: ? ? ? ?

Why are you reminding the NPCs instead of us?

Lu Xiaoyao: Oh, hahahaha!! This is so sweet! Is this the legendary "love between a human and a ghost"?

Unaware that her livestream had been banned for being too bloody and violent, she was even fantasizing about watching the editing masters of her own livestream use their ingenuity to create new material from this scene!

Seeing that everyone had turned to look at them, a more refined-looking man with flaxen curly hair spoke up: "Hello, I am Nar."

"I'm Mette," another slightly muscular man, whose face suggested a quick and decisive manner, added.

"Could you please tell us what's going on inside this building?"

Now that the real culprit had arrived, and since they didn't seem like evil spirits, the two spirits were instantly surrounded by everyone, who asked them what was going on.

“Ask him.” With that, Mette gave the refined-looking Nal a sidelong glance, as if she had already decided that everything here was his fault.

Nar chuckled awkwardly and then explained the whole story.

According to Nar's account, what the players guessed when they later realized something was wrong was indeed quite accurate.

“Before Martha met me, her ex-boyfriend was a violent man and very controlling. Fortunately, he and Martha didn’t stay together for long. He got drunk in a bar, got into an argument with someone, and was shot and killed. After we met, we dated and got married.”

As he said this, a hint of embarrassment seemed to flash across Nar's face, and he added, "I... I actually have some fetishes in that area..."

"Oh~~~~?" For some reason, everyone present suddenly perked up when they heard this, and even Mingmei echoed the rhythmic "oh."

Nar: ...

"I, I didn't... I, I, I just like to spank."

Everyone: ? ? ? ?

Everyone's expressions were probably quite complicated, and Nar turned his head again, along with Mette, who clicked her tongue in exasperation.

Huh!

Your quirk is a bit... um?

However, compared to Martha's quirks, Gnar's spanking here is nothing.

Knowing what happened next, Mette naturally asked, "You were like that, why didn't you talk back when people were criticizing you?!"

"I...I...I argued back, but nobody believed me...Besides, it's so embarrassing to talk about such private things as spanking!"

Mette: ...

I don't understand.

Everyone: ...

We don't understand either.

"Moreover, Martha's ex-boyfriend seemed to have discovered that she had masochistic tendencies, and coupled with the way I acted at the beginning, she insisted that I be even harsher on her. Over time, I realized that the behavior Martha needed was obviously excessive, so I refused."

Nar shook his head repeatedly, unable to bring himself to do the almost abusive things Martha wanted him to do.

This is someone he likes. He can be all about romance, but he can't actually beat someone half to death!

At this point, Nar turned to look at Mette, who seemed puzzled by his gaze. Then he heard Nar say, "But soon after, I was reported for domestic violence and taken away by the police."

Mette looked slightly embarrassed.

“Masha will naturally not say that I abused her, but I don’t want others to know about this. She is a girl, and even if there is a problem, we can treat it through a psychologist. If it gets out, I’m at work and not at home during the day. It would be bad if Masha was targeted by a pervert because of this.”

“But I always feel that your description makes it seem like your wife is the biggest pervert.” Zhen Po found it terrifying to listen to. “If I had a partner like that, I would have run away long ago.”

The elder twin, Zhen Hu, glanced speechlessly at his younger brother and suddenly said, "First of all, you need to have a girlfriend. Secondly, even if you do, she might run away before you do."

Zhen Po: ...My older brother?

"After that, I did take Martha to see a psychologist, but it didn't work well, and Martha even became worse."

"No, but the next morning Martha said she was going downstairs to get milk and the newspaper, and then she disappeared..."

As he spoke, Nar looked at Mette, and everyone understood.

Oh, this one? We're familiar with each other.

So you called the police later?

“Yes.” Nar nodded. “But it’s all a misunderstanding.”

This explains why Mette later wrote in her diary about the strangulation marks on Martha's neck and how they took Martha in but were taken away by the police.

"How exactly did Martha die?" Yuan Fang was eager to know the rest after listening for so long. "And what about the other people in the building?"

“Martha’s death was an accident. We had a fight that night, and I was angry and didn’t want to see her, so I went out to a bar to drink. Who knew that she would have an accident while she was having fun by herself that time, and she really, really died.”

Everyone: =. =?
