Chapter 38: I'm Really Not the Final Boss of the Horror Game
Xu Wen didn't expect Bai You to arrive so quickly.
In fact, the house he found was not a safe place.
Xu Wen once obtained a clue.
This house is where some strange creatures lose their lives, and they will treat everyone who lives in this house as a target for their hunt.
But if you hide well enough, you can evade the monsters' search and remain unharmed.
Bai You's head was tilted at an odd angle, and she stared blankly at Xu Wen with her bloodshot eyes.
Xu Wen took off his glasses and said to Bai You in a heartfelt manner, "Although I don't know much about your life, we are essentially no different. We are both constantly killing, and we both take pleasure in killing. I think you can join me, or rather, I can join you."
Bai You stared at Xu Wen for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter!
That laugh was sinister, extremely sharp and piercing, making one's scalp tingle and limbs go cold!
Old Yang heard the eerie laughter. After quickly securing the hidden door to the secret room where Li Mingming and Wang Rou were hiding, he rushed downstairs, fearing for Xu Wen's safety.
Upon hearing Old Yang shout his name, Xu Wen's smile turned sinister, and a look of madness appeared in his eyes!
Xu Wen: "Li Gui, your prey has arrived."
After saying this, Old Yang also ran out.
The moment he saw Bai You, his teeth chattered, but he gritted his teeth and rushed forward, trying to pull Xu Wen, who in his eyes had no way out, aside!
Unexpectedly, the moment Lao Yang grabbed Xu Wen, Xu Wen suddenly exerted his strength and pushed him towards Bai You!
Old Yang stared wide-eyed in disbelief!
Numbly watching Xu Wen turn and leave!
A cool touch came from behind as Bai You put one of her hands on Lao Yang's shoulder.
Old Yang was so frightened that his whole body was trembling, but unexpectedly, he heard a voice in his ear—
"If you want to live, play dead, and I'll take you to a safe place."
Old Yang still looked at Bai You with lingering fear, swallowing his saliva repeatedly.
Seeing that Bai You had given him a lot of supplies, Old Yang felt like he was dreaming, and he raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.
Baiyou: "..."
She tried to make her voice sound less eerie, speaking slowly and deliberately: "Although I am a monster, I still have a conscience."
Seeing Bai You approach, Lao Yang cautiously moved back a little.
He stared at Bai You for a while, and perhaps because Bai You had let him off the hook, he found that Bai You's eerie face wasn't so scary anymore, even—
I even felt loving-kindness!
Old Yang really wanted to ask Bai You a question, but he was afraid that his words would anger Bai You, so he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Seeing that Old Yang was hesitant to speak, Bai You gave him a friendly smile. "Uncle, just ask whatever you want! I won't hurt you."
After swallowing hard a few times, Old Yang finally asked the question that had been bothering him: "Why didn't you kill me?"
Bai You's voice, tinged with a smile, sounded as innocent as a little child's, "Because I know you're a good person, and I won't kill a good person."
After a pause, Bai You looked at Lao Yang, who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a serious tone, "But I don't like idiots."
Upon hearing this, Lao Yang's nerves, which had just relaxed, suddenly tightened again.
He looked at Bai You nervously, his words stammering, "What...what do you mean by that?"
Baiyou walked up to Lao Yang.
Old Yang moved back a little because he was scared.
Bai You stared at Lao Yang.
Old Yang kept swallowing as Bai You stared at him.
It wasn't until Bai You looked away and calmly asked, "Why do you believe Xu Wen?"
Mentioning Xu Wen, Old Yang was so angry his teeth itched. "That bastard! I really thought he was some kind of good person! He's such a good actor!"
Bai You could actually understand why Lao Yang and others believed so strongly in Xu Wen.
In this context, it is strange that someone can protect himself with such righteousness, even if he sometimes leaves the group.
Bai You looked at Old Yang, whose face was red with anger, and said in a comforting tone, "We monsters are not as cruel as you think, at least I am not. I have never hurt any innocent people."
Old Yang looked at Bai You and saw sincerity in her eyes.
Besides, Bai You never harmed Lao Yang; on the contrary, she saved him. Lao Yang had no reason not to believe Bai You.
Old Yang: "Although you look a bit scary, I believe you are a good ghost."
Bai You let out a laugh, and then said earnestly, "Friend, some people are more terrifying than monsters."
She paused, then picked up a photo frame from the table.
It contained photos of several kittens.
Bai You pointed to the photo frame and said to Lao Yang, "These kittens did nothing wrong, but they were cruelly tortured and killed by some players here."
Old Yang's eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Bai You looked at the bewildered Old Yang and continued, "We monsters just want justice, and some of us just want to hear a sincere apology from those who tortured and killed them."
Old Yang seemed touched; his nose tingled. "I can understand you. But I'm innocent too. I haven't hurt any animal or anyone. I just wanted to survive in this game. I wasn't wrong to protect myself, was I?"
Bai You reached out and patted Lao Yang on the shoulder, seemingly with pity, and said, "I'm not telling you not to protect yourself. I just want to tell you that your enemy is never a monster, but a demon in human skin."
After a pause, Bai You raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Lao Yang's face and softened her voice, "This game isn't actually that fair. Xu Wen has a secret that none of you know. He can resurrect infinitely."
Old Yang's eyes widened instantly!
But Bai You's next words sent chills down his spine!
"Xu Wen has taken many lives, both in and out of the game. He is a true serial killer!"
—
Li Mingming and Wang Rou slept until dawn.
After waking up, the two did a quick wash and then knocked on the hidden door of the cellar to signal to the people outside.
Not long after, the hidden door was opened, and Li Mingming and Wang Rou climbed onto the ground one after the other.
Seeing Xu Wen's dejected expression and not seeing Lao Yang, Li Mingming's heart skipped a beat. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Where...where is Lao Yang?"
Xu Wen didn't say anything, but Li Mingming saw that Xu Wen's eyes instantly turned red.
Just then, a voice rang out, and a young man with a limp walked into Li Mingming's line of sight. He seemed to be having some difficulty speaking, and after looking at Xu Wen for a long time, he finally said, "Old Yang... Old Yang is probably in grave danger."
Wang Rou, incredulous, immediately pressed, "How did you know! And who are you? Why should I believe you?"
As she spoke, Wang Rou's voice choked with emotion, and she looked at Xu Wen, who was wiping away tears, through her teary eyes. "Xu Wen, say something!"
