Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Speaking Out

2019, Alley.

Xun Weimo and Tengsen stood still, suddenly, Tengsen’s body shook, and he abruptly opened his eyes.

Two streams of blood flowed from his eye sockets.

"Boom——"

The tall figure fell straight to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

His muscles began to shrink and twist, but his blood-filled eyes stared fiercely at Xun Weimo.

"Two... two unsolvable fierce ghosts, you... have two... Prison Master... of..."

Tengsen fell silent forever, his tall body compressed as if by a huge force, curling into a ball, his death terribly unbearable to see.

Xun Weimo stepped forward, bent down, picked up the key from Tengsen’s hand, and whispered:

"Now there are three."

Xun Weimo let out a strange smile from the corner of his mouth and walked out of the alley without looking back.

...

Ghost... who exactly is the ghost?

How can one avoid being killed by a ghost?

Red spider lily’s back was soaked with sweat.

Ten years ago, Bai Yanren was a gentle and reliable person, but ten years later... she dared not imagine.

Although the rules stipulate that Bai Yanren must leave a way to survive within reasonable logic, with his mind, the path he left is rather hidden than apparent.

What’s even more terrifying is that she cannot get any hints, and all abnormalities must be discovered by herself.

When she first got on the bus, she was truly frightened by the ghost face in the mirror and the staring passengers, but now everything seems back to normal, yet this... is precisely not normal.

Before the game started, Bai Yanren said she would die in seven minutes.

Although this can be understood as a threat to disturb her mood, the electronic watch that kept counting down greatly increased Red spider lily’s psychological pressure.

No... can’t pay attention to that electronic watch, it’s deliberately left by Bai Yanren to interfere.

She turned her head away.

Unintentionally, Red spider lily’s gaze swept across the passengers behind her.

Everyone’s gaze had shifted, although still looking bizarre, at least they weren’t staring at her anymore.

However... this one glance made Red spider lily feel a chill in her heart.

The last row had two seats surprisingly empty.

She clearly remembered that the bus was fully occupied, not one more, not one less.

But now, the two positions by the window on the left and right of the last row are surprisingly empty...

Where are they?

Where did they go?

Could it be... the ghost has already acted...

The oppressive atmosphere surged toward her, and Red spider lily’s mindset gradually underwent some changes.

Her character has a flaw.

Or rather, everyone in the Dark Abyss has flaws in character.

Red spider lily’s intelligence and ruthlessness increased with age, but her character stayed at the level of a kid in their early teens.

Impulsive, irritable, impatient, with odd words and irregular actions.

She is a cruel and ruthless perpetrator, but when she is on the passive side, the fear in this woman’s heart gets magnified many times.

Just like... right now.

After the strange absence of two people in the last row, Red spider lily’s breathing instantly became rapid.

And time continued to tick backward bit by bit.

Only... three minutes left from the seven minutes Bai Yanren mentioned.

...

Café.

Feng Xiuxue sat upright, her expression showing no trace of panic.

"My name is Feng Yiru."

Her beautiful eyes swept over everyone, and her first words caught many people by surprise.

"Are you the second personality of this body?" Yu Wenxuan asked.

Feng Yiru shook her head: "I occupied her body, subtly altering her memory. She knows of my existence, but in her memory, I am her second personality."

"...Who exactly are you?" Song Que did not believe Feng Yiru’s words at all.

What do you mean by occupying a body? Altering memory? How could a human do such things? Unless she is a ghost!

Feng Yiru turned to look at him, and said, wistfully: "I am someone who should have died ten years ago, Feng Yiru, Bai Yanren’s wife... Feng Yiru."

Xu Zhifei looked at her: "Are you Bai Yanliang’s..."

"Sister-in-law." Feng Yiru looked at Xu Zhifei, smiling gently.

"I’m not interested in your relationship, tell me your purpose, and... how did you manage to occupy Feng Xiuxue’s body and alter her memory?" Yu Wenxuan remained unmoved, his eyes unwavering.

"Knowing these things is not a good thing for you." Feng Yiru said.

"Good or bad, I will judge myself." Song Que looked at her and said.

Feng Yiru smiled; her demeanor was indeed much more poised and steady compared to Feng Xiuxue.

"Yanliang’s brother absorbed all the curses with his own body, delaying the arrival of the Fog Realm for ten years," her eyes glimmered with reminiscence, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, uniquely charming, "The Fog Realm, named by Dr. Zhou, is a bizarre space. He hypothesized it to be the ghost’s world, filled with endless fog. If the nine Keys of the Prison Master are not collected, it will directly engulf the real world."

Saying this, she took out a cyan key, "Ten years ago, the Fog Realm appeared, but the First Prison Fengdu Command Prison did not manifest, and the Key of the Prison Master could not coalesce. In desperation, we used twenty Gate Keys to try to stop the Fog Realm, but who would have thought..."

"Hmm?" Song Que looked at her and noticed Feng Yiru seemed lost in thought.

However, her emotion remained extremely calm, "We didn’t expect... the Gate Keys themselves would be absorbed by the Fog Realm, and twenty people were drawn in by the Fog Realm, on the brink of death."

"Then... he went," Feng Yiru’s eyes brightened as she said, "He single-handedly bore all the Fog Realm curses, using his life to delay the Fog Realm for ten years."

"This year marks the ten-year term," Feng Yiru looked at Yu Wenxuan and the others, "The Fog Realm is set to come again, and Fog Gathering is the long-delayed Fengdu Command Prison. This key... will be mine."

Everyone present had keen observational skills, making lying in front of them exceedingly difficult.

Yu Wenxuan initially thought this so-called "Feng Yiru" might conceal something.

But after listening, he couldn’t catch a trace of deceit.

It wasn’t just him who felt this way; Song Que, Yu Sheng, and Xu Zhifei felt the same.

She wasn’t lying.

"What is your relationship with Feng Xiuxue?" Yu Wenxuan’s expression became more serious.

"Sister," Feng Yiru smiled, "my biological sister."

"I lost my body and squeezed into her shell. Everything in her memory was once my experience."

"I like your ruthlessness," Yu Wenxuan applauded, squinting with a smile, "Miss Feng."

"Although I want to say, compared to the world, she is insignificant," Feng Yiru lowered her head and spoke softly, "but I am not that great; I must get this key, I must enter the Fog Realm, I must... bring him back..."

"Sorry, to interrupt your emotional moment," Song Que dragged an unconscious person into the café, "it’s four o’clock, it’s time for us to join hands."
