âIt is likely,â Du Lai said coldly, âI remember the baseâs intel mentioned the Ghost Fire game.â
After a pause, he wrinkled his nose in disgust, âBut thatâs a ghost wall game, not this woman⦠woman whatâs it again?â
âWomanâs Destiny,â his girlfriend interjected. â âWomanâs Destinyâ is a tune from the Min opera.â
Du Lai seemed not to want his girlfriend to make her presence known in front of these two, discreetly pinching her palm.
However, his girlfriend was determined to oppose him and raised her voice: âWhat are you doing! I canât even speak now?! If thatâs the case, why did you save me? Itâd be better if you had let me die!â
Du Lai: ââ¦â
Shen Mo glanced at the woman in black before turning his gaze on Du Lai, âI remember the Min opera is a local opera genre in Fuzhou, but Iâve never paid much attention to it or know much about it. Now that weâre in the game, if weâre to act together, shouldnât some information be shared?â
âIndeed~â Bai Youwei chimed in, âif you donât want to act together, you can leave now.â
âIf I have to leave, then Iâll leave! Who cares!â the woman in black snapped, her temper larger than Bai Youweiâs.
Just as she was about to open the door and get out, Du Lai grabbed her, âWait a momentâ¦â
His girlfriend frowned displeasingly, âWhat the heck are you doing?!â
She suddenly spoke in dialect.
Du Lai kept gripping her hand and said to Shen Mo, âOf course, itâs safer to move together. Weâve heard a lot about your extensive experience in clearing games. You wouldnât withhold any clues you find, would you?â
Shen Mo nodded slightly, his voice calm: âAs long as thereâs an alliance, information resources should be shared.â
âGood.â Du Lai nodded, held his girlfriendâs hand and said, âWeâll get off together, weâll ask the inspector about the rules. If the game isnât competitive, Iâm willing to form an alliance. We will share any information about the game we have.â
After saying this, he looked at Bai Youwei and smiled, âHow is that? Is it sincere enough?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Youwei returned a cold smile and said nothing.
Shen Mo held Bai Youweiâs hand and said, âLetâs get off together.â
â¦
A drizzle was falling.
The cold wind was bleak.
As soon as the car door was opened, the ethereal green Ghost Fire outside flickered, burning even more intensely. The ghostly face amidst the flames grew increasingly abstract and eerie.
All four got off the car together.
The fluctuating ghost fire floated towards them, its voice genderless, serene, slow, like a mournful chant from the depths of an ancient tomb-
âWelcome⦠to⦠the doll gameâ¦â
The flames danced around them slowly, getting very close, nearly touching their skin, and yet they felt no heat at all.
âRules of the game, as follows⦠Liâs wife, carried a corpse from the east to the west of the village⦠then from the west to the east⦠day in day out, without rest, if you can make her stop, you can win.â
Bai Youwei, frowning in impatience, snapped, âSpeak comprehensibly!â
Ghost Fire: ââ¦â
Du Laiâs girlfriend: âHahaha, itâs not a human! How can it speak like one!â
Bai Youwei look annoyed: âI donât understand, repeat the rules!â
The ghastly fire stared at Bai Youwei.
It recognized her.
She had obtained âOne Tenth of Meâ from the rabbit head, âDoll Houseâ from the ball, and recently acquired a few parts, which led the comics man to suspect the rabbit head of favouritism, simply because⦠this player has too many uncontrollable factors, causing everyone much trouble.
Unexpectedly, it would meet her in its own gameâ¦
However, itâs game shouldnât be exploited by her, should it?
After all, its game, among all the doll games, was the most conservative, the most rigorous, and the most solid. The number of times it had been patched was close to zero.
