Chapter 5: Ghost Town (IV)



During the day, Yangjia Town was deserted, but at night, it looked even more terrifying. The wind blew through the white pine trees in front of every window, and there was hardly any light at all - the townspeople didn't have any lights on in their homes. The wind blew through the white pine trees, making some whimpering sounds.

Mahakala couldn't see the road, Yingxue was very scared, she felt a chill on the back of her neck, and subconsciously wanted to get closer to the man in front of her. Li Rushi was still as still as a mountain, she walked very slowly, her eyes swept across the houses, as if searching for something.

"Yingxue, stop pulling. You're almost pulling Brother Dun's clothes off," the big bear-like Pug reminded in a low voice.

"Oh... okay, okay." Yingxue let go angrily, but just stood close behind Li Rushi, almost sticking to her.

Not long after, they returned to Yang Le's paper figurine shop. There was no light in the room, and the colorful paper figurines looked even more resentful under the moonlight.

As soon as she entered the door, Yingxue's shoulders kept shrinking, but Parker didn't think much of it. Foreign players always have trouble understanding Chinese horror elements, so he looked particularly calm.

Although the shop is not big, it has a complete range of things. There are all kinds of paper figures in the front and a small room in the back that can accommodate two or three people. Yingxue is definitely unwilling to separate from Li Rushi. Li Rushi looked at the anxious girl on the left and the silly big guy on the right, and finally said helplessly: "Tonight we will take turns to watch the night, two hours each. Yingxue will come first, then I will come, and then Parker." The two naturally would not refute Li Rushi, and both agreed seriously.

Li Rushi: "If there is any noise at night, don't make a sound and call me immediately. If you see anything, don't panic. Got it?"

Yingxue and Pug nodded in agreement.

There was only one small bed in the room, which was fairly solid, with a quilt on it that had long been cold and hard, and even had some mold on it. But naturally there was nothing to be picky about in this environment, so the three of them sat in a row on the bed, with the dirty quilt on their legs, and began to rest.

Li Rushi was fine, but the other two players didn't seem to be very at ease, and their breathing was also disordered. The audience in the live broadcast room had not slept yet at this time, because it was most likely to cause trouble at night, and they were all waiting to watch the excitement.

Feeling that the two were in a state of mental instability, Li Rushi was helpless. This place was too yin, and there were bardo bodies everywhere within a hundred miles. No wonder people couldn't sleep. There was only so much time at night. If you kept your eyes open until dawn, it would also damage your mind. If you encounter any accidents again, you won't be able to deal with them.

Forget it, just coax them. Anyway, she had done this countless times when she was a child. At that time, she was the oldest child in Tianyi Sect and the eldest sister among a group of children. Children who went to the mountains to practice had to break the karma with their families, otherwise they would not be able to achieve the great way.

Children aged four or five need to be accompanied by adults at home, but after going up the mountain, they have to take care of their own food, clothing, housing and transportation. They have to quickly adapt to life on the mountain and quickly forget their previous family and emotions. The children don't say anything on their faces, but they cry secretly in their beds at night. Most of them have swollen eyes during the morning class the next day.

Junior Sister Li Rushi had no choice but to go to the kitchen to get some sweet cakes to feed the children, and then hugged each of them and coaxed them. She was not very good at coaxing people, but somehow, the junior brothers and sisters overcame the difficulties little by little. Since then, the children of Tianyi Sect have been extremely dependent on her, even after they have grown up.

But it was different for Yingxue and Pug, they were not children anymore and they were not that familiar with each other. Li Rushi was never good at saying comforting words, so she sighed and said, let's just chat, so they can get to know each other better.

Li Rushi: "Why did you all enter this game? Wuxin Ghost Talk is quite dangerous. Won't your family members be worried?"

Yingxue pursed her lips and said, "My family is not doing well right now. She is sick and needs a lot of money. I can't come up with so much money. But if I enter the dungeon, it only takes a few days. If I clear it, I can get hundreds of thousands of bonuses. I have no other choice."

Pug still had that naive look on his face: "As for me, I was not a good student since I was young. I didn't know anything and I didn't make much money when I grew up. Once, after a quarrel with my father, I thought I had to prove myself." Pug's eyes were slightly moist. "I just tried my best to enter the dungeon to make some money and leave it for my parents in their old age.

Even if you only clear one instance, you can still leave them hundreds of thousands."

Li Rushi remained silent. Every family has its own problems. If they had no other choice, they would not have entered this game. After all, who would be willing to gamble their lives on the possibility of the ultimate clearance?

The audience in the live broadcast room also fell silent.

{I originally thought Yingxue was weak and didn't like her very much, but now I have changed my mind a little. It's really not easy for a young girl to not think of going astray when encountering such a thing.}

{I am similar to Pug. I don’t have any special skills either. I just work to make ends meet. But Pug is much braver than me!}

A few comments were posted here and there, and suddenly a viewer asked, "Why did Shield enter the dungeon? Shield doesn't look like he's short of money."

Of course Li Rushi also saw this barrage. She remembered the reason why she entered the copy. Since she had no ties in this world, the only thing she could and wanted to do was to watch the Tianyi Sect be rebuilt.

My old friend is no longer with us, but my heart's desire is to promote the mysterious school and attain the great way. Even though I have failed before, I will always do it again.

"As for me, I want to do something that requires a lot of money. If I can accomplish this, I will have no regrets." Li Rushi smiled gently. The young man was handsome and looked even more gentle under the moonlight. Although no one knew who he was looking at, anyone could tell that what he was thinking about at the moment must be something very important to him.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Pug fell asleep, and Li Rushi also closed her eyes and pretended to doze off. Although Yingxue was already sleepy, she still forced herself to keep her eyes open, but after a while, her eyelids slowly drooped.

In the middle of the night, a ghost knocked on the door. The moment Yingxue closed her eyes, the sound of the wind outside the window became heavier. It was no longer a sobbing sound, but more like someone crying.

But in an instant, a black shadow broke through the window and rushed straight towards Yingxue. The black shadow was very fast and moved very lightly. It grabbed Yingxue's arm and wanted to lift her up.

But someone was faster than it. Before the audience could react, Li Rushi grabbed its arm tightly as fast as lightning. Li Rushi's eyes were clear, and he definitely didn't look like he had just woken up.

"Where do you want to take her?"

Not only was the black shadow stunned, but the audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned - this guy reacted pretty quickly.

Wow. Here it comes, the audience's favorite NPC scaring the players to tears series is here! The NPC has started to steal the house! Soon, the number of viewers in Li Rushi's live broadcast room increased immediately, and it has exceeded a thousand.

In the second when the shadow was stunned, Li Rushi had already pulled down its arm, and pushed Yingxue to Parker's side with his backhand. This was a heavy blow, and Yingxue and Pug woke up immediately. What else did they not understand now?

Someone came to raid.

Li Rushi had already exchanged several moves with the black shadow. The black shadow was surprisingly skilled, his moves were not dragged out at all, and his punches were very effective. However, when it came to close combat, Li Rushi was certainly not afraid. She had fought with evil spirits and demons countless times. They all had sharp claws and were full of resentment and evil spirits. If she was contaminated by even a little bit, the consequences would definitely not be good.

Over time, she had developed a way to evade the enemy. In addition, Li Rushi had a lot of practical experience, so after only ten moves, the black shadow was captured and could not move. Li Rushi looked at the thief and whispered to Yingxue Pug, "Bring a rope."

Pug was quicker, and found a hemp rope from under the counter in front of him. He asked Li Rushi, "Brother, is this okay?"

Li Rushi nodded and told him to throw it over. Then he tied up the black shadow thief tightly. The hemp rope was not very thick. Li Rushi used the Xuanmen's unique immortal binding spell when tying him up, and then he tied him up.

Yingxue tried hard not to cry: "Brother, what is this? Is it a person or...?"

Li Rushi asked Pug to bring over the long needle used by "Yang Le" to make paper figurines, and cast a binding spell on his hands before slowly removing the mask of the black shadow.

He was a young man with ordinary looks, his face was pale and blue, his eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets, his lips were purple, and the sides of his cheeks were covered with corpse spots. He was no longer moving at this time.

Li Rushi lowered his eyes and said, "This is a puppet. The person has been dead for a long time and will not hurt anyone now. There is nothing to see. Just cover it up."

{Wow, Brother Dun is really good at fighting. Could he be a soldier or a personal bodyguard? His moves were really fast, accurate and ruthless.}

{Dare to fight the NPC directly, Shield Brother is awesome.}

{This is the first time I see an NPC being taught a lesson by a player, hahaha, come on, Shield Brother.}

Li Rushi's fight with Black Shadow just now really touched the audience's heart. Who doesn't like a man who is quiet, reliable, powerful and steady? Now someone in her live broadcast room actually calls her husband.

Li Rushi looked at them for a few seconds and said nothing. The black shadow was very creepy here. Yingxue didn't dare to sleep anyway, and Pug was afraid that something unexpected would happen again, so the three of them started chatting again until dawn.

Although Li Rushi only contributed a few "hmm, hmm," it was Yingxue and Parker who were talking all the time.

In the blink of an eye, it was morning and a new challenge began.

The author has something to say:

Enjoy your meal.
