Chapter 443 Thriller Game Kills NPC (37)
The red thread that Jin Shu had given him was now pressed tightly against his skin, hissing and emitting black smoke.
Xiao Pai's heart was pounding. For the first time, she felt how happy it was to have her heart stay obediently in her chest.
He quickly clutched his chest, and as soon as he looked up, a gust of ghostly wind rushed towards him. Before he could even scream, his body instinctively tried to jump out of his seat. He ran away.
But suddenly he remembered Jin Shu's instructions.
"Sit here and don't move no matter what."
Yes, Jin Shu told him not to move around.
So Xiao Piao gripped the chair tightly, trembling all over, closed his eyes, and gritted his teeth, awaiting his fate.
After a long silence, he opened his eyes again, and a ghostly face was right in front of him. Xiao Pai's heart almost stopped beating. However, the next second, the ghostly face passed right in front of him. Upon closer inspection, he saw that Jin Shu had grabbed one of his feet from behind and flung him back into the circle in the middle!
Looking at Jin Shu standing in the center of the circle, her expression was calm, her eyes were steady, and her movements were sharp. Every move she made was like a hammer, knocking the hearts that had been in everyone's throats back down!
At this moment, after one of the Ghost Face's feet was grabbed, his whole body emitted ghostly energy, and wherever the black mist went, even the walls were corroded and peeled off.
However, instead of letting go of his foot, the force of the grabbing increased, and he was slammed hard to the ground!
"Bang--!"
The demon mask was slammed to the ground. It was stunned for several seconds when it hit the ground before it realized that it had really been hit by a human!
The creature, which had been in complete control, suddenly felt a surge of anger. Just as it was about to teleport to Jin Shu's head and rip it off, it shuddered.
What happened? Why can't I move?!
Teleportation was a special ability it activated after arriving on this train, and it was also its invincible weapon. But now, with its foot grabbed, it had no ability to move at all! No matter how it tried to control its mind, its body remained pressed against the ground, completely still.
It was jolted, and turned to look at Jin Shu, only to see her holding its foot with one hand while the other hand was rapidly wrapping something around its ankle.
Enraged, it roared and unleashed all its ghostly energy to break free from Jin Shu's restraints. Seeing that she had let go, the ghost mask immediately tried to teleport away. However, this time, while its body did seem to be teleporting, its front half was already in another space, but its back half was as if it were tightly bound by something, and it could not move no matter how it was pulled!
After testing the waters four or five times, Ghost Face knelt on the ground, his eyes fixed on the foot that Jin Shu had just grabbed.
At this moment, a thin red thread was winding upwards around its ankle. It tore its trouser leg and found that the red thread seemed to be alive, winding its way up its calf as if it were a vine parasitizing its flesh and bones.
The other end of the red thread appeared on Jin Shu's wrist.
Jin Shu pulled the thread outwards, and Ghost Face felt the red thread wrapped around its body radiating intense heat, burning its body and causing it unbearable pain, almost driving it mad!
Jin Shu stepped forward, squatted down, and looked at it.
"You're easier to catch than I thought."
The ghostly face of the boy changed rapidly, eventually transforming into the clean-cut appearance of a young boy.
It wasn't Yan Lu's face, but a more youthful one, looking about fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Is this what you used to look like?"
"Who exactly are you?"
The boy spoke calmly, as if he wasn't too panicked even after being caught.
Jin Shu looked at him.
"I'm just a player, completing the task I need to complete."
The boy suddenly laughed.
"Well, you'll be completing your mission very soon."
At this moment, the train seemed to gradually slow down.
The person sitting to the side felt everything around them slowly changing and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Are we really about to complete the mission?!
Jin Shu remained calm.
Tell me, where do you come from?
Why should I tell you? I'd love for you to be like me.
Jin Shu pulled on the red rope, and the boy could no longer control the ghostly appearance on his face, which shifted between ferocious and delicate.
"You are really smart and capable. You are much more capable than I was back then."
What the boy said sounded completely illogical.
But what Jin Shu heard were all the secrets of this train.
"So what? You were a player back in the day too."
"You don't need to know so much; people who are too smart don't end up well."
Jin Shu continued to pull on the red rope, causing him to experience excruciating pain.
"I'm saying all this for your own good, I'm trying to help you, and this is how you treat me?!"
The boy roared.
Jin Shu, however, showed no mercy.
"The most deadly benefits in the world are those that come for no reason. Now you either tell me everything you know, or I'll make you wish you were dead."
Don't worry, I'll definitely get you to talk, but are you sure you want to wait until then to tell me?
The boy simply lowered his eyes and sighed.
"I believe you, of course I believe you."
After he finished speaking, he reached out his hand to Jin Shu. On the boy's somewhat slender and pale wrist, there was a black star.
"Those who cleared the game back then all had this mark on their bodies. It said that with this mark, you wouldn't be selected by the system again."
Later, I volunteered to let it bear my mark, and when the doors opened at the next stop, what awaited me wasn't the outside world, but the next train carriage.
The boy looked at her, his eyes calm yet tinged with desolation.
Do you understand that feeling of being ready to rush into the light but being dragged back into the darkness?
"Um."
"How could you possibly understand? But you'll understand soon enough. You're so capable; you're exactly the kind of servant it's been dreaming of."
it?
Jin Shu wanted to ask who "it" was, but the boy shook his head.
"You don't need to ask me, I don't know either. Since you're so capable, then you can go find it yourself."
The young man has said most of what he needed to say.
He looked at Jin Shu, a smile playing on his lips.
"I am the final boss of this game. You have to kill me to complete the game."
Jin Shu ignored him and turned around to hand the other end of the red thread to Xiao Pai.
“Look at him.”
Xiao Pai looked at the red thread in his hand and suddenly felt a little nervous and scared.
"Can...can I do it?"
"If he's not behaving himself, just pull him."
"Like this?"
With a gentle tug, the bound boy couldn't help but contort his face into a demonic mask, clearly in excruciating pain.
That's fine, as long as it works.
Seeing that Jin Shu was about to leave, Xiao Pai quickly asked.
"Where are you going? Aren't you going to kill him?"
