Chapter 135: Puzzle Dungeon 3 (5)

Duan Wang was half crying as he recounted his story.

"I... I don’t know, it’s just some coins! I’m not lying! The coins look very old and there’s nothing special about them." Duan Wang couldn’t really take out those coins that he found from the bottom of the river.

The coins looked quite old, but there didn’t seem to be anything special on the surface. At least, Huo Yingsu couldn’t really tell what was so unique about the coins to make the ghosts angry.

Then again, her eyes were ordinary.

What she saw was what ordinary person could see.

So Huo Yingsu turned to look at Ye Lin.

"It’s stained in ghosts energy, but I’m not entirely sure how to deal with it," Ye Lin replied truthfully.

His eyes were only capable of detecting the energy of the Yin and Yang. While ghosts and living people looked different in Ye Lin’s eyes, but it was not to the point where he could fully differentiate all exact details.

All he could tell was whether an item was stained in ghosts energy or not.

"Then it’s certain that the ghosts want to take these things, which is why they chased after Duan Wang," Huo Yingsu came to this conclusion.

"Not necessarily. What if they’re angry at Duan Wang for taking their things and want to enact revenge?" Han Yichen considered another possibility.

"It could also be that they just want to take back the coins."

"...If that’s the case, why are there so many people who died on the river?" Han Yichen asked back and turned to look at Duan Wang. "Does other villagers also get attacked when they got close to the river?"

"Yes! Yes!" Duan Wang nodded like chicken pecking rice. "Everyone who got close are attacked by the ghosts in the river! It’s scary! It’s terrifying! You have to go as fast as possible and not get involved in this terrifying matter!"

The four ignored Duan Wang’s request.

What a joke.

They all came here because of the Live Stream Horror Survival Game and if they didn’t complete the mission, they couldn’t come back.

There’s no option of turning around.

Because if they did, what awaited them would be nothing more than a miserable death.

None of them wanted to experience such a thing.

One of the main reasons why many players accepted the Live Stream Horror Survival Games’ strange offer in the beginning was nothing more than because they wanted to live, one way or another.

Huo Yingsu was not an exception.

"Then just returning the items will not quell their anger." Han Yichen looked at the coins on his hand.

Since his ability was to use the Yang energy, the other three felt that the coins would be safer in his hands. None of the others dared to touch it after Ye Lin said that it was stained with the ghosts’ energy.

"I don’t think the Live Stream Horror Survival Game will be so kind to let us pass he puzzle with just returning the coins." Yu Zhihao scratched the back of his head and wanted to speak more but shut his mouth when he saw Ye Lin and Han Yichen glaring in his direction.

Tsk.

He was not satisfied with his ramblings in their group chat yet.

Huo Yingsu was silent and then said, "Let’s find a vehicle to cross the river first. A boat would be much safer than a raft."

"Good idea. I’ll try to see if there are some other tools or things stained with ghosts energy in the houses." Ye Lin glanced at the empty residences in this area and guessed that the villagers died when they tried to cross the river.

There was a hint of pity in Ye Lin’s eyes that he restrained almost instantly.

This is just a dungeon.

The people her were not even ’real people.’

But treating everything like playing game was also difficult because of how realistic the world made by the Live Stream Horror Survival Game were.

"Then I’ll have a good talk with Duan Wang." Yu Zhihao’s eyes lit up.

Han Yichen silently took a few steps back and said, "I’ll check if there are boats or raft from this direction."

"Ok."

In this way, the four of them went their separate ways and Yu Zhihao got his favorite job. He simply talked with Duan Wang and the other three could still hear his voice even after they had walked more than 100 meters.

...He’s really loud.

"...Do you really think that we can’t guess what you might be hiding? Let me guess what have happened on the trip with your friend and you tell me which one is right, okay? First guess, you and your best friend have a quarrel when you’re crossing the river...."

"Second guess, you are the one who attacked your best friend when you two have disagreement about the things inside the river because of inequality and then...."

Huo Yingsu: "..."

She silently looked around the river area but didn’t dare to get close to the river.

Because if the ghost in the river were attacking everyone who came close, then they would be risking their lives if they got too close.

"Yu Zhihao really talk a lot... Does the live broadcast split up or something?" Huo Yingsu asked while looking at the few houses beside the river.

A village would not have the houses build side by side. There were a few meters distance between one house to the other, so it would take some time for Huo Yingsu to check the entire area.

...

[No! It’s just that the screen is split into four but the chats are still connected with each other]

[And for those who didn’t want to listen to Yu Zhihao’s rambling, they can just focus on one of the three other screens]

[Yes, yes, but the chats are combined]

[Uh huh]

[I can see that Huo Yingsu is walking leisurely]

[There’s no hurry, right? It’s not like Bai Tingting would die anytime soon]

...
