"You mean, the thing in that coffin escaped?"

That coffin was, of course, the one that was being suppressed beneath the Ghost Club.

It contained the corpse of a human girl, whom the Demon King had also seen before.

No one knows the identity of the corpse, nor how long she has been dead; all that is known is that something terrifying was sealed inside her body.

The minister had always treated her with the utmost care, like a ferocious wild animal, raising and guarding her with utmost caution.

However, she was clearly no longer satisfied with eating the meals provided by two employees every month.

The minister had been worried about the corpse escaping and had sought help from the Izumo clan, hoping they could reinforce the seal on the coffin. Unfortunately, the Izumo clan's price was too high, and the minister was unwilling to pay the fee, which led to today's disaster.

"Then, won't the ghost realm be going to get lively?"

Miss Ghost King was still able to smile at this moment.

"Ahaha~"

Ryoko looked at her with disdain.

As a divine messenger, she was reluctant to see scenes of corpses strewn across the land.

However, she wouldn't be willing to go and retrieve corpses to punish evil and promote good in this world.

Hmm? You're asking why I'm unwilling?

The reason is simple: laziness.

In the ghost story campus, she developed a lazy habit of lying down rather than standing up.

Even though she was no longer starving due to food shortages, she still didn't like to move and just wanted to lie down. She wouldn't move unless Xiaoyu called her.

"So how did the minister go? That guy's always been a coward, he couldn't have been taken down so easily, could he?"

"The minister isn't dead, but his current condition is practically the same as being dead..."

He was bitten hard by the female corpse, and half of his body was instantly gone.

Although they had ways to save their lives, they didn't have time to use them all.

The minister is now recuperating in a hospital bed and it will take at least six months before he regains consciousness.

Want to rely on her in the future? That's definitely not going to work.

The Ghost King laughed loudly: "It seems that Xiaoyu's batch of screams can fetch a good price."

Ryoko finally spoke up this time: "How could you have designs on Koyu?"

"I was just saying that, I didn't actually intend to sell."

As they were talking, the lock on the front door was turned.

Su Yu is back.

Seeing so many strangers sitting in her originally spacious living room, she was about to suffer from social anxiety.

Si Nan came out carrying a plate of fresh fruit and said, "Miss Su, someone just came looking for you."

"Who?"

Si Nan thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, there are several players, right? One has a full beard and is a middle-aged man, two are twin sisters, and then there's..."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Su Yu took a step back and opened the door.

After recognizing the people standing at the door, Si Nan clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Ah! Yes, that's them! The one behind them is our neighbor, Miss Yan!"

Yan Rubing frowned.

There were too many people in the house, and she was somewhat reluctant to go in.

However, out of consideration for the other players, she had no choice but to carry her gifts and enter.

"Huh? So many people?"

Miss Ghost looked around and decisively picked up fruit and drinks to fill the remaining empty seats.

"Sorry, we're out of seats. Please come back another day."

Su Yu: "???"

What is this operation?

It wasn't until she noticed the way Miss Ghost King looked at Yan Rubing that she vaguely understood the meaning behind these actions.

Miss Ghost King is looking at her love rival with that kind of gaze.

The problem is, Su Yu never imagined that she and Yan Rubing had any inappropriate relationship.

Could it be because Yan Rubing wore a low-cut, super short dress today?

(Ghost King: Yes, that's right, that's exactly it!)

Yan Rubing looked indifferent, put down the gift and was about to leave when she was stopped by the bearded uncle.

"Hey, Xiao Yan, don't be like that, have some manners!"

Yan Rubing reluctantly turned around and looked at the uncle with a resentful expression: "I said, even in a game, you still want to put on airs and lecture me?"

The bearded man chuckled awkwardly and said, "Xiao Yan, I was the one who brought you into this line of work. Even if you're no longer a policeman, don't live such a dissolute life."

These words shocked the onlookers.

The bearded man does indeed have a strong sense of justice; if you said he was a veteran policeman, people would believe you.

But Yan Rubing...?

This girl's in-game appearance has absolutely nothing to do with being a police officer.

She looks like a delinquent young woman who commits violent crimes.

"What are you looking at? I was fired after only half a month as a police officer. I don't consider myself a police officer."

Yan Rubing glared at them.

This caused the onlookers to quietly withdraw their gazes from each other.

"Let me formally introduce myself, Ms. Su. I am Zhao Kai, a retired police officer from Hongqiao Police Station in Beicheng."

As he spoke, Officer Zhao pointed to the two people next to him.

"The two of them are named Wang Bao and Qian Xiaofeng, and they are both interns at our police station."

Wang Bao and Qian Xiaofeng gave Su Yu a friendly look.

These people all belong to the type of people Su Yu is not very willing to associate with.

However, they couldn't just kick them out, so they had to patiently continue negotiating: "Gentlemen, what's the matter?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to preach. I know very well that the laws of the world don't apply here."

Officer Zhao said this and then sighed.

"Therefore, I had long ago given up on the possibility of maintaining order here."

Hearing him say that, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that he's not a saint.

She was really bad at dealing with the Father.

“However, we’ve recently obtained some intelligence regarding the real world.” Officer Zhao’s tone shifted, his sharp gaze fixed on Su Yu: “Do you know about the thirteen coffins in Phoenix City?”

Su Yu shook her head, directly denying it.

"You can't not know."

Officer Zhao didn't press her for answers; he simply said calmly:

“As the city lord of Wuliang City, you must be the one who reports any major disturbances in the city. So, you must know about the coffin that was suppressed under the club disappearing into thin air and the escape of the tomb's occupant.”

At this point, his tone became heavy:

"That coffin is the most sinister of the thirteen coffins. Two years ago, our Justice League of players went to great lengths to transport it from the real world to here. If it were to return to that other world..."

233. Do you want to go out and play, or be slept with?

"That was an absolutely immeasurable disaster."

Officer Zhao didn't even want to imagine such a scene.

In the process of moving this coffin, the player alliance lost over a hundred high-level players. In the real world, due to some unavoidable butterfly effects, countless casualties of varying degrees were also caused.

This is not a world without supernatural forces and strange phenomena.

The world has been in chaos ever since horror games started forcibly recruiting players.

Admittedly, most of the players who come to this world have had their values ​​altered by the high-pressure and terrifying environment, becoming selfish and indifferent. However, there are also people like Officer Zhao who always have kindness in their hearts.

However, this was not something Su Yu would consider.

She was just a newbie player who had just reached level 30.

She couldn't do what those hundred-plus players did—sacrifice themselves for righteousness.

"What do you want me to do?"

Su Yu's cold tone and indifferent expression made Officer Zhao lose the courage to make any further requests.

He hesitated for a long time before carefully saying:

"We will not ask Miss Su to do anything. We only hope that if you have any information about the Thirteen Coffins, you can inform us as soon as possible, so as to reduce our casualties... Please do us a favor for the sake of humanity's future."

These words weighed heavily on Su Yu's heart.

She gripped the hem of her dress tightly, remaining silent.

Yan Rubing sneered and said, "Old Zhao, I'm not saying this to be mean, but your idea is far too naive."

"If I were Miss Su, I wouldn't help you with such a troublesome favor."

"In the past three years, the Players Alliance is no longer the passionate alliance it once was."
