Chapter 34 Ghost

Originally, Leng Youyou thought that falling here would be the end of the game. She had already closed her eyes, waiting for her death, but unexpectedly, a hand reached out and grabbed her in time!

Before Leng Youyou could look up to see who it was, she was dragged out and flung toward the door leading to the backyard.

"Ah!"

Julian didn't expect that as soon as he rushed to the edge of the vegetable field and kicked the door open, a figure would fly over. He caught her instinctively, and only then did he see that it was Leng Youyou.

"Go back first!"

Seeing that Leng Youyou had no weapons on her, Julian put her down and rushed into the vegetable field.

As soon as he entered, he saw Mandison, who had pulled Leng Youyou away but didn't dodge in time, his arm being chopped off by the sharp axe!

"Ah!"

Mandison's scream made Wang Wenfei, who had been following behind him, pale with fright. Others might not have seen it clearly, but she had seen it clearly.

Mandison had desperately snatched Leng Youyou from under the axe that was about to cleave her back.

But unexpectedly, the person wielding the axe instantly realized that their target had disappeared, so they instantly changed the direction of the axe, swinging it horizontally towards Mandison!

With no way to avoid it, Mandison's arm was chopped off.

"Go!"

Mandison used his remaining arm to push Wang Wenfei towards the entrance of the vegetable garden, glanced at the approaching Julian, and turned to face the attacker.

Regardless of his still-bleeding wound, Mandison charged directly towards Mingmei, who was wielding the axe.

In the instant they exchanged blows, Wang Wenfei and Julian could see that the other person was agile and incredibly strong.

Even in their prime, without the obstruction of the surrounding corpses, they might not have gained an advantage in a one-on-one fight!

This raincoat person was simply a monster!

"Go!"

The next second, Julian made a decision, grabbed Wang Wenfei, who had been pushed over by Mandison, stepped forward, kicked away a corpse trying to attack her from behind, and retreated into the backyard with Wang Wenfei without stopping.

"Mandison, he…"

Wang Wenfei's lips trembled, and she didn't finish her sentence. She looked into Julian's eyes and when she saw him shake his head, tears instantly fell…

The next morning, it dawned.

Lu Xiaoyao, mustering her courage, picked up her binoculars again and looked at the vegetable field where they had fought last night. In the rain, a familiar figure stood.

"Mandison seems to have become a ghost…"

She murmured, telling the others about it.

Wang Wenfei and Leng Youyou, who had been saved by Mandison at the cost of his life last night, and Julian, returned to the backyard. Looking back again, it was still the lush green vegetable field. The previous fight and escape seemed like a dream.

The raincoat person didn't follow, nor did those crawling corpses. The only difference was that Mandison didn't come back.

Lu Xiaoyao and the others, who were still upstairs and hadn't followed Julian down, had been watching the aftermath. After they came back, they told them what had happened in the vegetable field.

Mandison was no match for the person in the raincoat with the axe and ultimately died under the opponent's axe.

Not only that, but Lu Xiaoyao's livestream was also filled with mosaics in the end because Lu Xiaoyao's perspective witnessed the entire bloody scene of Mandison's body being chopped up.

As a result, after coming back, the remaining six players, perhaps stimulated by what happened last night, huddled together in one room.

Some had nightmares all night, and some simply didn't sleep at all.

Lu Xiaoyao was the one who stayed up all night with her binoculars.

As soon as it dawned, she picked up her binoculars as if self-torturing, looking towards that wasteland, seeing some blurry figures standing there, one of which was unexpectedly clear, allowing her to see that it was Mandison at a glance.

"It really is…"

The others verified what Lu Xiaoyao had seen one by one. Sure enough, they all saw several vague figures in the vegetable field, with Mandison's being the most obvious.

The clothes on his body were still the ones he wore last night, without a trace of blood, just standing in the rain with a blank expression.

Following their gaze downwards, he had no legs.

"Is this the legendary 'ghost'?"

"Calling him a 'ghost' is fine too?"

A group of people crowded in front of the window of the small room, saying some pointless things.

"Are we going to go outside during the day to take a look?"

Finally, Lu Xiaoyao asked seriously.

Her expression was also very serious: "I, I can also help scout."

Last night, in the dark, she was timid and could only stay in the rear, but now, during the day, she felt that she could go too.

"It shouldn't be too dangerous during the day, right?" Lu Xiaoyao asked uncertainly, "At least the wasteland we saw with the binoculars doesn't have the chaotic scene of demons dancing at night, does it?"

"Well, it might be better to check it out during the day."

…

"Good morning, boss…"

A group of people went downstairs and saw Mu Chen at the bar today. Usually, Mingmei was here, but today was different.

"Morning."

Mu Chen nodded amiably to everyone and asked, "I cooked vegetable porridge, does anyone want breakfast?"

Everyone: "…"

After what happened last night, they didn't dare to eat anything from the shop anymore.

Who knew where the food in the shop came from, or what it was made of.

"What's wrong?"

As if not noticing their silence, Mu Chen raised an eyebrow.

Mu Chen clearly knew that these players had been frightened by Mingmei last night, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

"By the way, where is your wife? Why are you here today?"

When Leng Youyou asked this, her gaze was probing and suspicious. Yesterday, she had been thinking about it all night, and the raincoat monster might be one of the couple.

Thinking about it, the man in front of her was a mysterious merchant. The game planner couldn't be crazy enough to have him sell boxed lunches and be a perverted killer, right?

Then, the other NPC was obviously the murderer.

"She's resting today. Last night, she… didn't sleep well."

Didn't sleep well?

Mu Chen's words immediately made everyone's suspicion of Mingmei skyrocket.

[This, this is confirmed, right?]

[Damn! That perverted murderer is Miss Sister?]

[I'm going! No way! Don't scare me?]

[The mysterious merchant and the villain BOSS are a couple? Is this a gender-bent version?]

[Ahhhhh! I'm so scared! Damn it! I don't accept it!]

…

Sure enough, seeing the sudden change in everyone's faces, Mu Chen instantly put on an act, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.

"Well, after all, there is a legend here."

"Legend?"

"The legend says that when it's thundering and raining heavily, there's always an evil ghost with an axe looking for people who are caught alone in the rain…

In previous years, people always went missing here on rainy days. My wife is timid and will be worried in this kind of weather."

"Ha? Evil ghost?!"

Mu Chen smiled slightly, a hint of reluctance mixed in his smile, and said with a wry smile, "Yeah, otherwise, no matter how heavy the rain is, my wife and I wouldn't stay inside all the time."
