“I just want to ask why didn’t any of you mention there was another player on the bus!”
“We weren’t sure if there was another player on the bus. We haven’t seen him before. We didn’t blame you for killing someone. Why are you blaming us? You’re the one with psychological issues!”
Gu Xinghua and Pang Yang started arguing.
The human pupa master followed closely, and other players gradually walked over.
“What happened last night?”
“Do you not know how many people were on their bus?”
“Anyway, we had three people on our bus. How about yours?”
“We originally had three people on our bus. One died, and there are two left.”
A group surrounded three people.
At this point, they all understood that these people were taking the opportunity to stand with the human pupa master.
Through criticism or even condemnation, they expressed their attitude and stance.
Pang Yang’s face turned black with anger. “Make it clear, Gu Xinghua killed the person!”
The human pupa master raised his purple-red lips. “If you had told us there was another player, Gu Xinghua wouldn’t have killed him, would he?”
“Yes!” Gu Xinghua found an excuse for his killing. “It’s not my fault. It’s your fault for not telling me!”
“Damn it!” Pang Yang was about to be driven crazy by them.
He looked at Ning Su and Fang Qi, wanting to ask them how to handle this.
Ning Su handed the grilled fish to Manman. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he heard a rustling sound.
“It’s you guys. What are you up to?!”
Gu Xinghua’s night of fear and irritability found an outlet. By shifting the blame onto others, he believed he hadn’t done anything wrong and wouldn’t be punished.
As if repeating it several times and emphasizing it would make the system hear.
“You deliberately concealed him, causing his death!”
“It’s you—ah, what, what is this?!”
Gu Xinghua, who was loudly splashing dirty water on the three, screamed in terror, “What is it? Let me down!”
The surrounding people retreated, looking panicked at the thing that had entwined Gu Xinghua.
That was the continuously growing dark green vine. They had never seen such a shade of green, as if it had grown from hell, wrapped in the black aura of the underworld. It looked eerie, sending shivers down one’s spine.
What’s even more peculiar was that the vines are growing from the bus labeled “01.” They were at a distance from the vehicle, yet the vines crawl out from the bottom, roof, and doors of the bus, sprawling across a vast expanse of land towards them.
The target was Gu Xinghua.
Players around Gu Xinghua scattered.
“What, what is this thing?”
“Has a corpse developed a supernatural ability?”
“Do we... do we need to save him?”
The vines entwined around Gu Xinghua’s feet, and the leaves suddenly spread out as if they had found something delicious, rapidly extending upwards.
Gu Xinghua struggled desperately, wielding a knife haphazardly, but to no avail. The vines wrapped around him were unaffected, turning him into a human pupa of vines.
As his head was about to be wrapped up, he shouted frantically, “Help, save me! Vice President, save me!!!”
The smile at the corner of the human pupa master’s lips had long disappeared. She spoke with a cold face, “This is the most dangerous thing in this instance world, possibly related to the Ghost Master. I’ve encountered it in many instances!”
Ning Su: “...”
Hearing her words, the players became even more afraid. Their already shaky resolve to rescue him instantly dissipated.
Only the human pupa master, this ruthless person, even knowing the danger, took out a large machete.
The human pupa master’s weapons were quite formidable, and this machete was two meters long with a dark red, cold-glinting blade tip. It had harvested countless lives.
She licked her lips, raised the machete, and began to chop at the vines near Gu Xinghua’s feet.
The players around were swept back by the wind she stirred, watching her in awe.
They were unsure whether they feared her machete or her bold actions.
“Will cutting it bring retaliation from the Ghost Master?”
“Well, we still have to save Gu Xinghua, right?”
All players watched, wondering what would happen when she cut off the vines and how they should respond.
As a result, nothing happened. The machete, accompanied by a chilling wind and a dazzling light, came down with a “clang,” but not a single leaf fell from the vines.
“......”
The surroundings suddenly fell silent.
The veteran players turned their heads away, afraid to meet the human pupa master’s gaze.
Three people were the exception.
Ning Su blinked. The bad mood from ruining the grilled fish disappeared all at once, leaving him inexplicably pleased.
The vines continued to spread, wrapping around Gu Xinghua’s neck. With a sudden sound, they dragged Gu Xinghua to the side.
Gu Xinghua’s body was entangled by the vines, except for his head. As he was pulled down on a tree, the back of his head hit the rocks along the way, causing a stream of blood to trickle down from his hair.
When he was hung upside down on the tree, blood dripped from his head.
Ning Su touched the back of his head, where he had been pushed by the other earlier.
“He, he’s hung on the tree!”
“Is he going to die?”
“Why is this happening?”
“The system warned us, ‘Do good deeds without asking about the future.’ Could it be because he killed a player and did something bad?”
Being hung upside down on a tree was a very dangerous move in this world.
Every player who died before was hung on a tree, representing a gesture of death.
Many players assumed it was the system’s punishment, and as for the reason, they could only think that it was because Gu Xinghua had killed someone.
The system reminded them to do good deeds, which conversely meant not doing bad things. Killing was considered a bad deed.
A little boy walked unsteadily on the vines.
He had been crawling on the ground until recently and had just learned to walk. It was still okay on flat ground, but on vines about as thick as his small feet, he wobbled and easily fell on his butt.
He walked over, dragging Ning Su’s pants, and looked up at him with sparkling eyes.
A look that sought praise.
Ning Su asked, “What did you go to do?”
The boy named Gui Sheng replied, “File a complaint!”
Ning Su: “...”
He felt that during that time in the castle, to frighten the players on the fifth floor, he sent the child to complain to Shi Tianzhu. The child misunderstood something and had been misunderstanding it until now.
No need to say, he knew who the child filed a complaint to.
Ning Su glanced at the car door. “So, how about the person you filed a complaint to?”
Gui Sheng pondered for a moment. “He’s too tired!”
“...”
The flower god, who had no heart, really felt a bit hollow.
Gui Sheng was still looking at Ning Su with shining eyes, and Ning Su rubbed his silly hair. “The cutest in Huaiyang Village.”
A small star appeared in Gui Sheng’s eyes, and he quickly waved his little arms and ran to Manman.
“I went to report.” He tilted his head and said to Manman, then stood beside her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, “I called him dad.”
Manman: “Little brother Gui Sheng.”
Gui Sheng: “Hmm?”
Manman: “Turns out you’re a little clever ghost.”
Gui Sheng: “Ah~”
Gui Sheng looked pleasantly surprised, as if saying, “I’m actually a little clever ghost.”
Ning Su: “...”
Thanks for the update!! 🤣🤣🤣
