Chapter 170: Ghost Hunting Game 2
After listening to the system's announcement, Yu Ke froze in place, clutching the lighting props. The fear that had just been dispelled by the light source returned.
The difference is that not long ago she was afraid of the darkness, but now she is terrified by the knowledge of the existence of non-human beings.
She curled up on the soft sponge pad and asked System 5488 with a trembling voice: [Is... is it the kind of ghost I was thinking of? 】
At this time, she still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that the ghosts were probably just different in identity, not race.
System 5488: [Yes, it’s what you think. 】
Hope was shattered, and many images quickly popped up in Yu Ke's little head.
There are all kinds of ghosts, some that can float, some with long tongues, some with eyeballs that can be taken out, some with large and small intestines falling out of their stomachs.
Before a person takes a single step forward, his spirit has already been polluted.
System 5488 had to interrupt her excessive imagination: [The ghosts in this copy will definitely hide their identities. 】
At least on the surface they all appear to be human beings.
Otherwise, it's so shabby that everyone will know your identity as soon as you meet, so why play the ghost catching game? Wouldn't it be better to just change it to a fight between people and ghosts?
Hearing this, Yu Ke breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it didn't look scary, it would be fine.
However, she was still not very reassured, so she asked System 5488 to select some protective props for her. She bought them and put them on her body to increase her sense of security before she dared to start the action.
She moved down from the foam mat holding the lighting props and took a quick look around.
The enclosed room is filled with a variety of sports equipment, including basketballs, footballs, badminton, high jump stands, etc.
Yu Ke guessed that this should be the equipment room.
She walked along the wall, trying to find a door to go out, but her attention was first attracted by a table.
This table is probably used for office work. There is a pen holder and some folders on the desktop, and a booklet is spread out in the middle.
Yu Ke walked to the table and looked down, and found that it was an equipment registration form, recording the borrowing and returning of equipment.
She picked up the registration form and was about to look through it——
“Click.”
The sound of the door opening was unusually harsh in the quiet room.
The sudden noise scared Yu Ke so much that her hands trembled. With a "bang", the registration form slipped from her hands and fell back on the table.
She looked towards the door in panic, her eyes full of helplessness, her soft red lips trembling slightly, not knowing what to do.
After the door was opened, there was no more sound coming from the other side, as if the sound just heard was just Yu Ke's illusion, and the room fell into an eerie silence.
She bit her lower lip unconsciously, and stepped back step by step holding her lighting props, like a vigilant little animal.
Xiao Piaoliang pricked up her ears and listened carefully, but still didn't hear any sound. She couldn't help but start to doubt herself.
Could it really be her illusion? Or was it the wind that blew the door open?
System 5488: [No, someone really is coming. 】
Although her self-doubts were dispelled, Yu Ke did not feel happy at all. With tears in her eyes, she took out her props and prepared for a fight to the death.
She didn't want to continue suffering in silence, and she was worried about accidentally hurting her friends, so she suppressed her fear and spoke tremblingly:
“Who…who?”
She recognizes whether it is a human or a ghost, so don’t hide and keep silent, wuwuwu.
After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the other party, and Yu Ke's heart suddenly sank.
He doesn't even speak. He is definitely not a human being, right?
She clenched the attack props she bought in her hand, thinking that if it dared to come over, don't blame her for being rude!
The idea was very impressive, but I was actually shrinking back timidly, almost returning to the original sponge pad.
At this moment, the other party who had been silent finally spoke.
"Sorry... cough cough..." The clear male voice became a little hoarse due to coughing.
Yu Ke was stunned and stopped moving backwards for a moment.
She looked up and happened to meet the eyes of a figure walking out from the corner.
The person who came was a tall man with a pale and sickly face, but this sickly look could not at all conceal the extraordinary appearance of his appearance.
The red mole between his eyebrows sparkled, further highlighting his extraordinary figure.
The man coughed again, and his lips were so pale that you could hardly see any blood.
Yu Ke looked at him from a distance, hesitating whether to go over or not. After all, he looked like he would die at any moment.
Is she trying to express end-of-life care?
"My name is Jingchun, what's yours?"
Her random thoughts were interrupted, and Yu Ke answered his question subconsciously: "My name is Yu Ke."
Jingchun nodded and explained to her what had happened.
Because he didn't know Yu Ke's identity, he didn't speak at first, hoping that she wouldn't mind.
Yu Ke blinked to show her understanding.
Jingchun looked at the table not far away, "Can I go over and take a look?"
Yu Ke nodded hurriedly and told him to do as he pleased.
It's not her thing, anyone can see it.
Seeing Jingchun standing in front of the table and flipping through the registration form that she had wanted to see before but failed, Yu Ke couldn't help but feel curious.
She twisted her fingers and felt that Jingchun didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
In addition, judging from his words and actions after he showed up, she felt that he should also be a player, which means he was a friendly force.
In that case, she also wants to see...
As if noticing her eager gaze, Jingchun suddenly turned his head and looked at her.
Caught off guard, Yu Ke was unable to retract her pitiful, envious look and was stared at in confusion by him.
Due to the distance and light, she couldn't see clearly and was not sure - Jingchun seemed to be smiling?
She pursed her lips and felt the heat rising on her face.
"Would you like to come over and join us?" Jing Chun invited Yu Ke. "There are only two of us here now. If you'd like, we can discuss this with each other."
"Really?" The surprise came so suddenly that Yu Ke instantly put aside the slight embarrassment and looked at Jing Chun with bright eyes.
Jingchun: "Of course."
After receiving a positive answer, Yu Ke immediately trotted over happily.
Jingchun handed her the registration form in his hand and said, "Take a look."
Yu Ke took it and found that the registration form had been flipped to the middle.
Jingchun gestured for her to look at the back of the previous page, where someone had written a paragraph with a pen.
The general meaning is that someone was tortured and killed in the gymnasium, and the gymnasium cannot be opened from now on.
Yu Ke finished reading it, but didn't understand the deeper meaning of this passage.
She looked up at Jingchun, her eyes filled with confusion.
Jing Chun paused and said slowly: "The mission of the copy is for us to catch the ghost, so we have to know the identity of the ghost."
Yu Ke: “Yeah.”
Jing Chun: "...This man who was tortured and killed is very likely one of our targets."
