Chapter 72: Trying Hard to Act
Bai Cha was still relatively calm.
The situation in front of her was dangerous, but it should also hold some clues.
The way this person called her name didn’t sound like someone who had just met her.
Of course, she also kept an eye on the surrounding monsters out of the corner of her eye. The receptionist’s position was undoubtedly the weakest.
Just her alone, maybe she could run away.
“Hehehe…” The manager made a strange laughing sound.
The stench of rot began to spread.
Making one dizzy.
“I thought that playing that crystal ball three times meant you still remembered me…”
Bai Cha’s heart stirred slightly.
However, the monster only said this one sentence before letting out a sharp, piercing sound.
“Gu Baixue! Come die with me!”
Bai Cha immediately grabbed the display screen next to her and rushed towards the receptionist.
However, this was a dream, probably the monster’s home ground.
The receptionist became even more hideous and twisted almost instantly, and the sound that came from her throat was the same sound that had come from the manager’s throat just now.
“Gu Baixue! Come be with me!”
Bai Cha couldn’t help but curse.
The other person had already pounced over with extreme speed, directly knocking her to the ground.
Bai Cha felt her own pathetic fighting ability, completely unable to resist.
However, at this moment, the ground beneath her seemed to turn into a pool of water. As the coldness spread, she was surrounded by rainwater with the smell of mud.
Bai Cha suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed.
It was bright daylight outside.
This was a hospital ward.
Bai Cha saw the figure standing by the bed.
The other person was hidden in the shadows, the raincoat they wore dripping with water.
“You saved me,” Bai Cha said.
Then she smiled sarcastically.
“Darling Yuqi?”
She had just woken up, and her voice hadn’t recovered yet, but because of her emotional agitation, her voice sounded somewhat sharp.
“What exactly do you want?”
“You confused me too, didn’t you? Just like I don’t remember what my boyfriend’s name was at all.”
“You created an account, pretending to be my friend. Actually, those things should be things I often complained about to my roommate, right?”
Her voice became sharper with each sentence.
“You knew I hated my father, so you killed him, but you didn’t expect me to contact him, so you pretended to be him! Isn’t that right?!”
“If my father’s body hadn’t been discovered, would you have continued to be fake and insincere by my side?!”
“Who exactly are you?!”
The raincoat man stood motionless in the shadows.
A voice came from outside the ward at this moment.
“Has the patient inside woken up?”
Bai Cha subconsciously looked over, and when she turned back, the raincoat man was gone.
The nurse pushed the door open and, seeing that she was awake, immediately asked, “Do you still feel any discomfort?”
Bai Cha lowered her head and remained silent, her face terribly pale.
“Then I’ll go call the doctor for you.” Seeing this, the nurse naturally went to get someone.
[Eh? The streamer slept all night and woke up in such a bad temper?]
[She just said the other person saved her. Looks like she must have encountered danger in the dream. I told you you can’t just sleep randomly in game instances]
[Wow, but even though she’s throwing a tantrum, the other person isn’t killing her. Is this person a masochist?]
[I suspect so too. Before, there was a streamer crying their eyes out, begging the other person to let them go, but they ignored them and just chopped them to death]
[So… am I the only one who noticed what the streamer just said? This raincoat man, just because Gu Baixue showed that she hated her father, he just offed him?]
Bai Cha saw the comment section.
She still didn’t reply.
Actually, for the raincoat man, the danger level on his side had currently decreased to a very low level. As long as she didn’t expose her identity and seriously played the role of Gu Baixue, that would be fine.
The other party clearly had only one purpose.
To protect Gu Baixue.
Therefore, she was doing everything according to Gu Baixue’s character logic, including the questioning just now.
But that didn’t represent her own logic.
Now, the real crisis wasn’t the raincoat man.
It was the ex-boyfriend.
That ex-boyfriend was the one who truly wanted her dead.
It was hard to say how long the raincoat man could protect her.
Because if she really encountered her ex-boyfriend face-to-face, she might take out the props from her backpack and fight.
Or she might use her own skills.
She hadn’t used the Flower of Lies in this instance yet.
But once these things were used, especially the props in her backpack, it would basically guarantee that she would be discovered as a fake Gu Baixue.
But that didn’t mean the Flower of Lies was safe either.
In short, relying on others for protection was unreliable, especially when it was a ghost.
However, the biggest benefit of completely showing her true colors to the raincoat man was that she could finally investigate freely.
A cause for celebration.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have thrown a tantrum as soon as she woke up. Her throat still felt dry and painful!
The police and the doctor came over together.
The doctor asked her some basic questions.
“Nothing serious for now, just too emotionally agitated. You really need to pay attention. We noticed during the examination that you often stay up late. Your heart isn’t very good, and you also have low blood sugar and malnutrition.”
With each thing the doctor said, Bai Cha felt the moisture beside her getting heavier.
Miscalculation.
Her body wasn’t Gu Baixue’s body.
“Officer, what time is it now? How long have I been asleep?” she interrupted him coldly, staring directly at the police officer.
“It’s ten o’clock in the morning now. You slept all night. You fainted last night, so we sent you to the hospital.”
They had been quite startled at the time.
“You want to ask about your father, right? The results regarding your father are out now. He indeed died of suffocation due to water, with no other injuries. According to another investigation at the scene, it should have been an accident that your father caused.”
“In addition, we also found out about his current jobs. There were only two. One was working on a construction site, and the other was a part-time delivery job.”
“His accommodation was a room provided by the construction site. His roommates have already packed up his belongings for him. If you’re alright, you can come over to pick up his belongings.”
After saying all this, perhaps feeling that her words were indeed a bit cold.
So the police officer sighed again and added, “His coworkers said that he came to A City to see his daughter. He wanted to save money to buy a house for his daughter in A City with a full payment, so she wouldn’t have to worry about marriage issues in the future.”
Bai Cha’s body trembled slightly.
“Anyway… come over to complete the procedures when you feel a bit better. Also, your father’s body… arrange the funeral and such. See if you can find a chance to take him back.”
After all, Bai Cha had just fainted, and the doctor said she wasn’t in good health, so they didn’t dare to urge her.
“Thank you.”
Bai Cha lowered her head and said thank you in a hoarse voice.
“I’ll go see his belongings after I’m discharged from the hospital later.”
“As for the body… I’ll contact the funeral home first.”
“Alright.” The police officer sighed again.
And Bai Cha covered her face, her head aching.
Damn it, so many things.
Why was it so difficult to investigate some information?
But the act had to be carried through to the end.
Otherwise, how could Gu Baixue’s father continue to protect her?
