Chapter 125: Ghost Hitting the Wall

After a few minutes, she reached the entrance of the village and the notification sounded on her ear.

[Ding! Congratulations for passing the second puzzle.]

...

[It’s outrageous! Why didn’t the ghost hitting the wall try to block Huo Yingsu from reaching the village?]

[It couldn’t be that the ghost hitting the wall think that she’s too weak so they let her pass, right?]

[That’s not possible. Even Bai Tingting from the other scene was blocked and she had been running around for several times]

[Her abilities are not related to ghosts, so it’s not surprising for her to be unable to pass through this puzzle]

[Han Yichen had also passed the puzzle, but it was because the ghost hitting the wall didn’t dare to come closer to this ball of Yang energy that kept on spreading outwards and blocked any attempt of the ghosts from coming closer]

[It’s outrageous!]

[Ahhh, Huo Yingsu, do you have any secret or something that you haven’t told us?]

[Confess!]

[Tell us the truth!]

[Ying Ying, you’re so cool, but we can’t understand!]

...

The viewers were going crazy because they couldn’t understand.

How did an ’ordinary person’ like Huo Yingsu managed to pass through the puzzle without any encountering the ghost hitting the wall and instead walked straight to the village like this?

It’s outrageous!

But the person in question was also confused.

"I’m sorry. I’m not a master of anything related to ghosts, so I can’t really give you any explanation about how I managed to pass through this puzzle," Huo Yingsu replied helplessly.

She looked up at the notification that appeared in front of her and chose to sit down on the rock nearby.

[The third puzzle will start at 9 AM]

This meant that she would have to wait until it was time before the third puzzle could even start.

For Huo Yingsu, the waiting could be quite torturous.

*sigh*

Let’s just talk with the viewers...

Hmm?

Han Yichen?

Seeing Han Yichen walking from the distance, Huo Yingsu was stunned and then there was excitement on her face.

She had been thinking that the entire three puzzles were all solo puzzle dungeon that she had to complete on her own. But now that she could see Han Yichen coming, does it mean that the next puzzle would be a team puzzle?

In that case, she could definitely latch onto Han Yichen’s thigh!

...Well, if it was intelligent type puzzle, then Huo Yingsu didn’t really need Han Yichen, but if it was force related puzzle, then Han Yichen is necessary.

He’s far more powerful than her!

Well, she wouldn’t admit that she only hoped to have Han Yichen around for the sake of increased security.

At the very least, his performance when she met him in the previous world and also in the real life was very reliable.

Hmm...

It was not like she knew how his fighting skills in the real world, though.

After all, Huo Yingsu was practically a cripple who couldn’t move from her wheelchair and had to remain still for a long period of time.

*sigh*

"You’re here." Han Yichen was also surprised when he saw Huo Yingsu. He practically took a straight walk from the road to the village without any detour.

After all, because of his Yang energy, no ghost dared to approach him.

For the time being, Han Yichen was still confident in his ability.

So he knew that he could pass the second puzzle dungeon without any danger whatsoever.

But it was surprising to see Huo Yingsu, who should have been an ’ordinary person’ to come here unscathed like this, even faster than him and seemed to be quite leisurely and calm.

"Yes.... Did you encounter any danger?" Huo Yingsu asked slowly.

Han Yichen shook his head. "The ghost hitting the wall is just the ghost preventing the people from reaching a certain area and will not physically harm us. However, those who keep on going will eventually be trapped in the same cycle for a long time. It’s estimated that you might even stay there for days and starved to death without realizing because your sense of time is disrupted."

Sense of time disrupted...

Just like when one was focused on something and completely forgot everything else.

And in this case, it was done artificially through the ghost hitting the wall, making it impossible for others to escape from it.

Just thinking about it made Huo Yingsu’s mood soured.

Because she felt that many people might end up dying inexplicably in such a situation and it was a bit terrifying.

"The best method to get away is naturally to avoid the ghost hitting the wall, but if you can’t avoid it... people with pure Yang physique are simply the best one, but even with the awakening of abilities, not every man with Yang zodiac stars can perfectly let the ghost hitting the wall avoid them."

Han Yichen was simply the better one.

Probably the result of him cultivating his energy from time to time when he was in the real world to ensure that he would not die so easily when he entered the game.

Huo Yingsu nodded thoughtfully and then she looked at Han Yichen in surprise. "You know so much."

She didn’t even know such common knowledge.

"When I have time, I’ll read up the information about ghost and related supernatural phenomenon," Han Yichen replied. "While not all of them could be accurate because the Live Stream Horror Survival Game often didn’t play by the rules, but it’s a good way to get some reference."

At least, with reference, Han Yichen would be able to figure out a way to get out of the predicament that he was facing.

"I see..." Huo Yingsu scratched the back of her head.

While she did try to read about some things related to ghosts and the likes, but she has never been the studious person.

...She remembered novel story better than her study.

Just thinking about it made Huo Yingsu inexplicably ashamed.
