Chapter 280 My Wish 2
Upon seeing this, Yu Ke was stunned.
She saw that the bedside was empty and the mirror she had casually placed there was inexplicably missing.
This unexpected situation made Yu Ke feel a chill on her back, and she shivered involuntarily.
When the woman saw this, she thought that Yu Ke was weak due to the injury, so she quickly pushed her back to the bed and covered her with a quilt.
"Just lie down and get well soon."
Yu Ke was lying on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, but her fingertips were still cold and she felt uncomfortable all over.
On the surface, she listened obediently to the woman's nagging, but secretly she was trembling as she searched for System 5488:
[I, did you put away my mirror? 】
System 5488 said in a heavy voice: [It’s not me. 】
The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and Yu Ke's heart suddenly turned cold and she was about to cry.
[Is there a ghost in this room?] 】
System 5488 was silent for a while and did not answer her question.
As for spoilers, the main system is monitoring it and it cannot say anything.
But its silence is already an answer.
After spending such a long time together, how could Yu Ke not understand what System 5488's silence meant.
There really is a ghost in her house!
He also took away her mirror.
The woman's chatter suddenly stopped, and she stammered, "Why are you crying? I don't mean to scold you, I'm just worried about you. Hey, hey, hey, don't cry. I'll get you another candy."
Yu Ke looked at the woman with red eyes, smiled embarrassedly, and said in a weak voice:
"No, I just... I just feel pain from the wound. It has nothing to do with you. Don't get me wrong."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.
"That's good, that's good. I'll make you some medicine later. There's nothing we can do now. You just have to bear with it."
Yu Ke nodded, pretended to be sleepy and yawned.
After seeing this, the woman stood up, let Yu Ke have a good rest, then closed the door and left the room.
Yu Ke waited for a while and confirmed that there was no one outside the door. She immediately jumped up from the bed.
Then she bought all the props that System 5488 had selected for her in that short time, such as amulets, talismans, and other useful items, and put them on her body.
Strive to arm yourself to the point where all demons and monsters will retreat in fear.
Woohoo, she hates supernatural books...
With tears in her eyes, Xiao Piaoliang took out a ghost-detecting tool, trying to find out where the ghost in the room was hiding.
Although she was terribly scared, she didn't want to deal with ghosts at all.
But everyone knew there was a ghost in the room, and if they didn't find it quickly, drive it away or kill it, she would get even more panicked.
She doesn't want to be in the same room with ghosts!
However, when Yu Ke walked around the room with the detection props, she did not detect the presence of ghosts.
She turned around a few more times, feeling uneasy.
Finally, after System 5488 repeatedly assured her that there would be no problems with the props, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to arm the room.
Talismans must be pasted on broken doors and windows, as well as on walls and the ground.
Oh, and under the bed—
Yu Ke found a piece of clothing from the closet and spread it on the floor, then half-crouched down on the clothing, trying to stuff the props under the bed.
But when she lowered her head, she was met with a pale face.
Her eyes widened in horror, and she was so caught off guard that her mind went blank and she couldn't even scream.
Fear choked her throat and made her whole body tremble.
Tears welled up in an instant, blinding her eyes and blurring the horrifying face.
Yu Ke's hands and feet felt weak, and she forced herself to stand up and stumbled away from under the bed.
She retreated to the position farthest from the bottom of the bed before she could hold back her tears, tears sliding down one by one.
It flowed down her snow-white cheeks and onto her lapels, soon soaking an area of her clothes.
She held onto the wall weakly, not caring about the pain in her hands caused by the rough earth wall, and squatted on the ground next to the wall.
He took the props while crying, ready to fight to the death with the thing under the bed.
While preparing for the battle, he was sobbing and asking System 5488 for an explanation.
[Didn’t you say that the props wouldn’t have any problems? What's under that bed? 】
System 5488 reluctantly asked her to calm down.
[That's not a ghost, don't panic, take a closer look.] 】
If it really was a ghost, her reaction speed would be enough to kill it seven or eight times.
Yu Ke sobbed and wiped her tears, looking under the bed with lingering fear, not daring to go over.
System 5488: [Your self-defense gear didn't react at all. Doesn't that prove that the thing under the bed isn't a ghost? 】
Yu Ke thought it made sense.
But does this affect her fear? No impact.
Thinking back to that pale face, no matter what it was, it was scary enough.
She pursed her lips and prepared herself mentally, while also recovering her body which had gone limp from fear.
After a while, he mustered up the courage to go back to the bed and bent down to look under it.
——It was still that pale, dead face.
But this time with experience and preparation, although Yu Ke still felt uncomfortable, she at least dared to continue watching.
After taking a closer look, she quickly realized that something was wrong.
The face was lifelike, but the texture of the skin looked strange, as if... as if it was not a human.
She whispered to System 5488: [What is this? 】
System 5488: […It’s a paper figure. 】
Now that she has discovered that something is wrong, it wouldn't be considered a spoiler if she were to tell it again.
It's just to answer questions and resolve doubts for players.
Paper man?
It was the first time that Yu Ke saw this thing with her own eyes, and she looked confused.
[Why is there a paper man under my bed? 】
Even though she didn't have a deep understanding of paper dolls, she knew that these things belonged to the funeral industry and should not be placed under the bed of a living person.
System 5488: [You have to explore this on your own. 】
Yu Ke blinked and understood.
It seems that this paper figure is related to passing the dungeon.
After knowing that the thing under the bed was neither a ghost nor a corpse, her courage immediately grew a lot.
After thinking for a while, she took out a pair of gloves, put them on, and dragged the paper man out from under the bed.
Now she could see the whole appearance of the paper man.
This is a male paper figure. The person who made the paper figure has superb skills. At first glance, the paper figure is no different from a real person.
The only thing is the eyes...
Yu Ke looked at the paper figure with only one eye in confusion, unable to understand what kind of performance art this was.
Where the other eye should be, there is an eye socket, but no eyeball, leaving a blank space.
She asked System 5488, but System 5488 didn't answer. It seemed that she had to explore it on her own.
Unable to figure it out for the time being, Yu Ke decided to talk about it later.
As for now, she was in trouble with the paper man and didn't know what to do with it.
We dare not destroy it, in case we destroy something that should not be destroyed, or alert the enemy.
Put it back in place?
Yu Ke pursed her lips, instinctively feeling that it would be best not to leave the paper figure so close to her.
Apart from anything else, it’s really scary to sleep at night, and I’m afraid I’ll have nightmares.
