Chapter 549: Dad, Mom

Fu Miaoxue, Du Lai, and the stuffed bunny entered one by one.

The door closed again.

The pursuing female corpse collided head-on with the door, making a loud bang!

Fu Miaoxue sighed with relief. When she looked back, she realized she was correct! There was indeed no latch on the door of the scholar’s residence!

But Bai Youwei had used a severed arm as a door latch!

This demon!

Fu Miaoxue cursed again in her heart, overwhelmed with grief!

Shen Mo lifted Bai Youwei down from the wall and placed her on the wheelchair.

Bai Youwei cheerfully said, “All right~ Now that everyone is here, just follow me.”

“Where are we going?” Fu Miaoxue, both frightened and resentful of Bai Youwei, asked anxiously, “If you want the spirit plate, just take it!”

“Oh, that thing…” Bai Youwei casually wheeled past the second gate, leisurely continuing forward. “You can keep that spirit plate for now.”

Fu Miaoxue followed her, questioning uncertainly, “Don’t you need that to clear the level?”

“Yes, but it’s not time yet.” Bai Youwei stopped at the entrance to the hall and motioned inside with her chin. “Go on, you two. Bring the paper dolls out.”

In the middle of the candle-lit hall, two vibrant paper dolls sat silently smiling.

The thing Fu Miaoxue feared the most!

Instinctively, she stepped back, inches away from hiding behind Du Lai!

“I refuse!”

“You just vowed.” Bai Youwei said in all seriousness, “After entering the door, you’re bound to obey me. You must do what I say, or there are dire consequences for breaking an oath…”

Du Lai stepped forward, calmly observing her: “Speak. What do you want us to do?”

Bai Youwei pointed at the two paper dolls: “Go, move them to the door so they can welcome the child.”

A shiver ran through Fu Miaoxue!

She’d rather move two pigs than paper dolls!

Du Lai, however, had already left to perform the task. Expressionless, he embraced one with both hands—

And the paper doll wouldn’t budge?!

Du Lai frowned, tried again, no success.

The paper doll seemed to weigh a thousand pounds!

Meanwhile, Shen Mo took the spirit plates of their parents from the table. He and Bai Youwei each held one.

Du Lai felt the paper doll suddenly become lighter.

He was taken aback and exchanged glances with Fu Miaoxue. They both immediately understood the secret—

The spirit plates were indeed the key.

They hadn’t taken the wrong spirit plates, they had just got the order wrong!

The four of them returned to the door.

The female corpse outside laughed manically. Scratching and pushing at the door and the wall, she seemed to sense something, pacing anxiously.

The severed arm fell to the ground, and the door creaked open.

The female corpse saw the spirit plates held by Bai Youwei and Shen Mo, then saw the paper dolls in Du Lai and Fu Miaoxue’s hands.

A wail suddenly sounded from her throat!

Rushing forward again, her voice was a gentle and plaintive woman’s:

“Daddy! —— Mommy! ——”

The spirit plates clattered to the floor from Bai Youwei’s and Shen Mo’s hands.

Du Lai’s spirit plate also fell to the floor with a thud.

The paper dolls in their hands involuntarily fell away.

As if they had a consciousness of their own, they clung tightly to the female corpse!

This spectacle was incredibly horrific! It was like an old woman with white hair, but her voice was like a young girl, and her movements were the same, calling the paper dolls her parents, pulling up her braids, acting sweetly towards them…

From her rotten, skeletal body, a blue light gradually seeped out, sparking and setting her, as well as the paper dolls, ablaze…

The three of them slowly merged into one flame.

The paper dolls turned into ash.

Only bones remained of the corpse.

Three spirit plates quietly lay on the ground.

Bai Youwei and the others were stunned. At that moment, the old scholar appeared from somewhere nearby, picked up the spirit plates, and sighed, “With the family reunited, I have finally fulfilled my parents’ dying wish. Now, I can finally face them.”

Having said that, he turned and entered the hall, the door closed with a slam!

“Congratulations, you’ve passed this game.”
