Chapter 40: I'm Really Not the Final Boss of the Horror Game
She turned her flashlight to its dimmest setting and tried to take a shortcut back to where everyone had gathered.
Unexpectedly, she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly felt something dripping down.
Wang Rou touched the liquid that had dripped onto her forehead, and the horrifying red color almost made her scream!
She mustered her courage and looked up, only to be horrified to see a bloody human head!
Wang Rou's face turned pale instantly. She was so frightened that she seemed to lose the ability to move, and stood there motionless with a blank stare.
The sound of a sickle slicing through the ground rang out.
The sound was piercing and sharp, like a deadly melody hummed by the Grim Reaper.
The smell of blood grew stronger.
Wang Rou looked cautiously at the approaching monster.
The blood on the sickle stung a nerve in Wang Rou, and the glaring color also awakened her will to survive. She immediately pulled out a prop talisman from her pocket and threw it at the monster!
It was all for nothing!
Wang Rou was stunned and dumbfounded.
She quickly took a few steps back, trying to distance herself from the monster, but to her surprise, the monster stood still.
The hood covering Xu Wen's face was removed, revealing his face.
Wang Rou stared in astonishment, her eyes wide!
"How...how is it you?!"
Xu Wen let out a laugh, his eyes looking at Wang Rou with a bloodthirsty and tyrannical gaze. "I really like your expression right now, exactly the same as when Old Yang was captured by Li Gui."
Wang Rou immediately understood what was happening. Just as she was about to run away, Xu Wen rushed over with a sickle in hand.
Wang Rou never imagined that she would be saved at this critical moment when her life was hanging by a thread!
Just as Xu Wen's knife was about to strike Wang Rou's head, Bai You suddenly appeared and pulled Wang Rou back a big step!
Before Xu Wen could react, Bai You and Wang Rou had already disappeared from Xu Wen's sight.
Xu Wen gripped the knife handle tightly, unwilling to let his prey become someone else's "meal," yet helpless...
Wang Rou never expected to see Lao Yang again in her lifetime. Her dazed expression returned to normal after receiving a hug from Lao Yang.
Wang Rou said to Bai You with tears of gratitude, "Thank you for saving me! I never expected you to be the one who saved me!"
She paused, then looked at Bai You with teary eyes, "Actually, you've been protecting us all along, haven't you? You knew all along that Xu Wen was impersonating the monster to murder players, right?"
Wang Rou may seem frail and weak, but her thinking logic is quite clear.
Bai You didn't speak, only looked at Wang Rou calmly.
Wang Rou wiped away her tears and continued, "Actually, from the very beginning when I became a player of this game, I thought that the final monster boss we were going to kill might not actually be a monster. But that idea was quickly extinguished by my own experience. After all, so far, all the monsters I've encountered have been killing players."
After a pause, Wang Rou realized that her words had been somewhat biased and immediately apologized to Bai You, "I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about you."
Bai You waved her hand dismissively, then looked at Lao Yang and instructed, "I have to go out for a bit. You two don't leave this room."
Having learned the inside story and knowing what Bai You was going to do next, Old Yang said with some concern, "You must be careful not to get hurt. Li Mingming has many talismans to control monsters!"
Bai You turned to look at Lao Yang, a hint of a smile in her eyes, "Don't worry, I won't get hurt."
Once outside the villa, Bai You instantly switched into a strange and unpredictable persona.
She deliberately made a big show of chasing after the players who were still lingering outside.
Screams erupted everywhere!
Hearing the continuous screams, Li Mingming felt a little anxious.
She looked at the young man who had just joined the group and sighed, "Tonight is really going to be turbulent! I wonder if Xu Wen will be able to reunite with Sister Wang Rou."
The young man seemed somewhat absent-minded, and his face looked rather pale.
Li Mingming noticed that something was wrong with him, waved her hand in front of his face a few times, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
The young man snapped out of his daze, swallowed hard, and looked hesitant to speak. "Didn't I just go out for a bit?"
Li Mingming had a bad feeling; her hands were getting cold.
The young man didn't stay with Li Mingming all the time. Seeing that Xu Wen hadn't returned for a long time, he was worried that his savior might be in danger, so he took some props and talismans and went to look for him.
Unexpectedly, he witnessed a horrific scene!
The young man said somewhat fearfully, "When I was looking for Brother Xu just now, I saw Sister Wang Rou being attacked by two monsters, and in the end, she was taken away by the fierce monster!"
Actually, the young man didn't see Xu Wen's face clearly; he mistook Xu Wen for a monster.
Although Xu Wen and the ghost are essentially no different.
Li Mingming's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes instantly reddened.
Wang Rou's encounter with two strange creatures at once is definitely a bad omen.
Losing two teammates in a row, Li Mingming was not only saddened but also furious!
She wiped away her tears and immediately grabbed her backpack, which was filled with props and talismans, ready to rush out!
Seeing this, the young man quickly pulled her back, saying, "You need to calm down! Tonight is very dangerous! Going out like this is suicide!"
Li Mingming looked at the young man with unwavering determination. "I've found a clue! I'm confident I can end this game completely! Besides, Xu Wen is still out there; I can't afford to lose another teammate. If you're scared, you can stay here, but don't stop me!"
After saying this, Li Mingming shook off the young man's hand and resolutely rushed out—
Although the young man was very scared, he gritted his teeth and followed after Li Mingming as she resolutely walked away.
Because Li Mingming found the complete map, she quickly followed the route to an ancient courtyard with a sealing formation that could seal and kill Bai You, as indicated by the clues.
Following the clues, she quickly found the item in the ancient courtyard that could summon Baiyou.
Li Mingming chanted the incantation to summon the soul and shook the witch bell in her hand.
A fierce wind arose, and the withered trees in the ancient courtyard were blown about by the wind, making eerie sounds.
That sound sent chills down your spine!
The young man shivered and moved a little closer to Li Mingming.
As the last incantation fell, the gale suddenly stopped!
However, the pomelo that Li Mingming had envisioned did not appear.
After the wind stopped, it was as if nothing had happened.
Li Mingming frowned. "What's going on?"
But as soon as she finished speaking, a slow footstep sounded.
The sound was deep and muffled, yet it was like a drumstick striking the heart.
Xu Wen slowly walked into the line of sight of Li Mingming and the young man.
Upon seeing this, the young man's eyes widened, thinking that Xu Wen had found them.
He was about to walk towards Xu Wen when Li Mingming, who had noticed something was wrong, grabbed him!
Looking at Xu Wen, who was dressed strangely and looked like a monster at first glance, a terrible thought suddenly came to Li Mingming's mind!
Li Mingming stared at Xu Wen in disbelief and astonishment. Her lips trembled as she asked incredulously, "Xu Wen...did you kill Old Yang?!"
