Chapter 248: Guest (2)

Huo Yingsu was dumbfounded.

She looked at Han Yichen in front of her, wanting to think of a way to refuse but in the end, she could only move her wheelchair back with the gesture of ’come in.’

"Excuse me."

Han Yichen walked inside and scanned the messy living room.

Even though Lu Liang and the original Huo Yingsu clean up the mansion to a certain degree, the leftover debris were still left behind. This was mainly because the two ghosts were simply too lazy to clean up other things.

From this alone, Han Yichen could tell how dangerous the situation was for Huo Yingsu before.

Most ghosts couldn’t attack physically.

But the ghost that came to find Huo Yingsu here was clearly a ghost that was capable of doing physical attack and it was done to the point where the entire mansion almost collapsed.

"Let me check your legs first."

"...I can barely feel the pain by now," Huo Yingsu said as she saw Han Yichen crouched in front of her to check on her legs.

Huo Yingsu: ???

Wait, there should be a chair left intact, right?

She turned to look at the ruined living room and decided to forget about it. Since she never thought about furnishing the mansion to the fullest, she didn’t really buy many furniture back then.

Now that most of the things here have been destroyed...

There seemed to be only one bed left for her that she used in her room.

...

[Even though I know that this is only happening because there’s no chair left, my mind couldn’t help but wander]

[Huo Yingsu, can you tell me if you have special relationship with Han Yichen aside from temporary teammates?]

[Doctor and patients]

[... That’s not what I’m asking about, above!]

...

The barrage was noisy and the original Huo Yingsu was struggling to hold back her laugh under Huo Yingsu’s glare.

On the other hand, Lu Liang was floating around the room in boredom.

In his opinion, since Han Yichen is Huo Yingsu’s friend and she trusted him, there was no need for him to keep watch all the time.

"There are some shift in the position... you overexerted yourself," Han Yichen said in stern tone.

"Ahahaha..." Huo Yingsu thought about the scene where she tried her best to run away from Lu Liang before and could only let out an awkward laugh.

"I can use a bit of Yang energy to help you recover, but based on your constitution, it wouldn’t be a good thing to have too much Yang energy," Han Yichen said after a moment.

"It’s fine. I’ll get more Yin energy again soon enough." Huo Yingsu glanced outside the window.

Han Yichen looked at Huo Yingsu in confusion.

But a few hours afterwards, he watched in silence as the nth ghost came to find Huo Yingsu to help them leave the world peacefully and handed over their Yin energy to her.

"Your advancement methods are really unique," Han Yichen commented.

"It’s alright." Huo Yingsu grinned and then asked, "Can I ask if there’s any free room in the areas near your base?"

She planned to leave this mansion soon.

"Me and the others plan to go with the officials to the official base," Han Yichen said calmly.

"When?"

"In a week or so when the situation stabilize and they could deal with most of the ghosts."

"Can ordinary people deal with the ghosts?"

Han Yichen nodded. "There are taoist priest and other professions out there with some usable methods that they spread out. Besides them, there are also a few players who had joined the government and provided help on their side."

Hearing this, Huo Yingsu nodded thoughtfully. With those players helping out behind the scene, the government would have a much higher chance of survival when facing the ghosts.

But...

"Do you also plan to serve them?" Huo Yingsu suddenly asked.

...

[Ahhh, that’s what I want to ask the most!]

[This group of four are even more boring than Huo Yingsu with every day filled with training]

[Do you think if they join the government, their routine wouldn’t be so monotonous?]

[I don’t want them to join!]

[Pfft]

...

Han Yichen arched his eyebrows when he heard Huo Yingsu’s question and he said, "It’ll depend on the situation."

If the person in charge was someone reliable and impartial, then Han Yichen would consider joining them.

But if that person was someone who was so biased towards others...

Then Han Yichen had no intention of joining them.

The painful lesson from before he joined the Live Stream Horror Survival Game back then had already taught him that he should not trust other people so easily.

"I see..."

"It’s up to you whether you want to join the official base or not, but I suggest you do because before you can truly stand on your own, having their protection might help you." Han Yichen’s eyes moved towards Huo Yingsu’s legs. "Moreover, the Yin energy seems to be hindering you from recovering."

Huo Yingsu: "..."

Knowing the nature of the Yin energy, Huo Yingsu could only smile bitterly.

She had this suspicion ever since she received the blessings because she felt that her legs recovered too slowly.

But there was nothing that she could do about it.

Becoming a player didn’t mean that they would become superhuman who could cross human’s limitation so easily.

"The increase from the ability value had already helped me to recover faster," Huo Yingsu said weakly.

Han Yichen nodded thoughtfully.

"Anyway, do you want to come with me to my temporary base?" Han Yichen looked at Huo Yingsu calmly.

Huo Yingsu was stunned.

"But that’s..."

"There are still more than enough room and it’ll be safer than this broken mansion. Moreover, if you don’t want to follow us when we join the official group, you can choose to stay in the temporary base," Han Yichen interrupted before Huo Yingsu could say anything. He quietly watched Huo Yingsu’s expression as he continued, "It’s all up to you."
