Chapter 37: The Third Lie
Bai Cha turned off the light.
A hand landed on her shoulder.
She turned on the light, and the person was gone.
Bai Cha pondered and quickly turned the light off and on again.
This time, that thing should have half its body hanging over.
The next time she turned off the light, it should be on top of her.
[Great, this poor little newbie had no way to deal with the current situation.]
The item Xiao Xiao gave her was probably very rare and should be a large-area destructive weapon.
Using it in this room, Bai Cha felt like she might be struck dead first.
And she still didn’t know how to leave this closed corridor.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Cha sighed.
She didn’t know what the outside looked like. The best way was to find the key first, complete the task, and then rush out.
But she had to think about what to do after getting out. The corridor outside was long and deep.
The walls of the corridor were all ghosts. If those things all came out, how far could she run?
And where could she run to?
The shared rule between the guesthouse and the front desk: [The guesthouse does not have a dedicated bathroom, only en-suite bathrooms in each room.]
Bathroom…
Bai Cha made up her mind and turned off the light again.
Her body suddenly felt heavy, and something cold, radiating a bone-chilling coldness, lay on top of her.
Bai Cha endured it, one hand still maintaining its position near the light switch. Even though the ghostly hand had grabbed her wrist and was pulling it down hard.
Her other hand groped over the other being’s body.
Cold, piercingly cold, like sticking her hand into ice in the dead of winter.
The other being also hugged her tightly, with such force that it seemed like it wanted to break her.
She even heard it laughing.
Bai Cha gritted her teeth, her hand still searching over the ghost’s body.
Her hand had gone numb from the cold. When she felt a hard object, she finally couldn’t hold on any longer and pressed the switch.
Perhaps because the other being was already hugging her very tightly, the ghost didn’t immediately disappear the moment the light came on. Bai Cha saw its appearance.
It looked exactly like her.
The ghost disappeared.
Bai Cha leaned against the wall and slumped to the ground, looking at the object in her hand. It was indeed a key, she didn’t know what it was for.
As for the ghost that looked like her just now…
Thanks, if she could have that much strength after she died, that would be great.
She looked at her arm. Because the other being had forcefully pulled it, trying to make her let go of the hand on the switch, there was now a purplish-black handprint on it.
Her arm had also swollen up.
Her body had also been wrapped around by the other being, leaving a ring-shaped mark.
[Congratulations on completing the Clubs Ace task. Please return immediately to continue playing the board game.]
Bai Cha sneered. Didn’t she want to?
This prompt sounded more like some kind of signal.
The lights in the room began to flicker.
The figure of the female ghost was already faintly visible.
Bai Cha had to take a deep breath and open the door.
Being cautious, she kept close to the wall and used the dagger to press the doorknob.
A bluish-white hand with long black fingernails quickly reached in from the crack in the door.
Bai Cha stabbed at it with the dagger, then suddenly pulled the door open and unleashed a Lightning Strike.
The bluish-purple lightning almost instantly pierced through to the other end of the corridor, illuminating the entire corridor as bright as day.
Countless vengeful spirits screamed at that moment.
Bai Cha also felt her scalp tingle. The entire corridor was densely packed with those things.
But she didn’t dare to stop at all, because the danger behind her reminded her that if she didn’t run, the thing behind her would also attack.
The moment she ran out of the room, the light inside the door completely dimmed.
Bai Cha almost used the fastest speed of her life.
The path she had just torn open with the Lightning Strike was closing.
The ghostly shadows on both sides reached out their hands, trying to approach again.
Logically speaking, this corridor wasn’t that long.
But there were too many of these things.
Bai Cha wanted to rush into the toilet.
They probably saw her intention as well, reaching out to block her path. Bai Cha was grabbed and fell hard.
She didn’t dare to stop at all, scrambling forward on her hands and knees.
For the time being, no ghosts would enter the toilet to prove that it was indeed safe, because that was one of the rules.
She was only two steps away from the toilet.
But the ghosts around her had already grabbed her hands and feet, trying to drag her backwards. She couldn’t resist.
Bai Cha made a decision almost instantly.
[Flower of Lies lv.0]
“They can’t see me.”
[Skill used successfully. Lie: They can’t see me. Target: Imprisoned vengeful spirits. Lie has taken effect. Remaining skill uses: 0.]
The moment the skill took effect, the force on her body instantly disappeared.
These ghosts reached out their hands blankly, grabbing everywhere, as if they couldn’t see Bai Cha.
Bai Cha stumbled and rushed into the toilet.
She looked at the mirror.
She wasn’t in the mirror.
Bai Cha immediately understood that she should be in a state similar to invisibility at this moment.
The ghosts couldn’t see her.
Ignoring the pain all over her body, she took the opportunity to enter the bathroom.
Inside, it looked normal.
Bai Cha only glanced around before picking up the mop and walking out, smashing it hard against the mirror.
The mirror shattered and fell. Bai Cha picked up a piece and looked into it again.
Sure enough, it was different.
